Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

A person’s energy is limited,

It’s hard to maintain concentration and work intensively all the time.

When tired, it’s okay to sit down and take a break.

Since the apocalypse began, with zombies besieging the city and external conflicts...

Li Yu has been struggling to solve these issues, always the first to charge ahead.

Fortunately, every time he returns to the base, he can take a temporary breather and relax.

Next is to fortify the base, to build it up and make it more secure.

Li Yu lay on the big rock halfway up the mountain until midnight, under the moonlit starry sky, before heading back to his room.

Still indulging in a hot bath and drinking beer, he fell asleep before long.

...

The next day, Li Yu and the others prepared to set off. Due to the large amount of stuff to be transported, about half of the people set out together.

Apart from Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and a dozen others staying at the base, everyone else had to leave. This time, some women from the family also came out, totaling about twenty people.

Before leaving, Li Yu suddenly asked Li Hongyuan, ”Is the Wan Nian Cement Factory now owned by a boss surnamed Hua?”

Li Hongyuan replied, ”Yes, Boss Hua. We bought cement from them last time. Boss Hua is a decent person, and I get along well with him.”

Hearing this, Li Yu nodded and said, ”Let’s go to the warehouse and get some instant noodles. Not too much, just ten cases.”

Li Hongyuan found it to be a prudent idea after hearing it.

So he went to the warehouse with Li Hang and others to transport goods.

After loading, there were six heavy trucks, two forklifts, one explosion-proof vehicle, and one seven-seater SUV.

And so, they set off.

Ten vehicles formed a convoy on the road, departing in the direction of National Highway 319 at 8 o’clock in the morning, driving towards the rising sun.

On the way, Li Yu and the others saw many abandoned fields along the edge of the highway, overgrown with weeds.

This time, Grandpa Li Yushi also came out, at the age of 65. Due to constant labor and inability to stay idle, coupled with a good mental attitude, he was very healthy. Li Yu couldn’t talk him out of it and finally agreed to let him join.

The old man had been farming all his life and couldn’t stand waste. Seeing the abandoned fields, he sighed and lamented the pity.

Silently they traveled.

In less than 25 minutes, Li Yu and the others reached neighboring Longhua Town. On the edge of Longhua Town, they saw a row of factory buildings.

”It’s here,” Li Hongyuan said. ”Let’s stop up ahead.”

Li Yu nodded. Most adults in the family had a driving license, and Li Hongyuan, Lai Dongsheng, Uncle, and others were experienced drivers of many years.

They parked the 30-ton truck on the side of the road, where several Ruijiang tankers were also parked on the open ground.

Li Yu got out of the truck first, then went to check out the factory buildings with Li Hongyuan, Li Tie, and others.

The rest waited in place. However, before they even reached the base, they encountered a dozen zombies.

Li Tie, Li Hang, and Zhao Dapao were the first to rush forward, killing the zombies, with Yang Tianlong quickly following to help.

At that moment, Li Hongyuan suddenly said, ”Xiaoyu, that zombie is Boss Hua! I didn’t expect Boss Hua to...”

Li Yu looked at the medium-sized, slightly bald zombie ahead and sighed. The zombie lunged forward and was beheaded by Li Yu’s strike.

And there was another small zombie behind, which was Boss Hua’s daughter. Li Hongyuan couldn’t bear it, but Li Yu went forward and cut down the zombie wearing a lotus dress.

Just then, the factory door suddenly opened.

A portly middle-aged man poked his head out, apparently attracted by the commotion Li Yu and the others were making outside. Behind this middle-aged man, seven or eight other men also emerged.

When they saw Li Hongyuan, the chubby man immediately shouted, ”Boss Li, what are you doing?”

Li Hongyuan turned his head in some surprise when he heard this familiar voice. It was only when he saw the man in the factory did he remember who he was.

An export manager from Wan Nian Cement Factory, but Li Hongyuan had rarely interacted with him, though they had met face-to-face a few times.

Li Hongyuan said, ”Manager Zhou, I just saw Boss Hua... I thought you all were ’that’ already.”

Manager Zhou hesitated at the words, glanced at Li Yu and the others, and asked with some confusion, ”With the current situation, what are you guys doing running around out there...”

Before Li Hongyuan could answer, Li Yu hurriedly asked, ”Do you still have cement here?”

Manager Zhou asked in confusion, ”With the situation like this, zombies everywhere, what do you need cement for...”

Li Yu coldly replied, ”You don’t need to worry about that. Just tell us where your cement is and how much you have left.”

Hearing Li Yu’s question, Manager Zhou pursed his lips, pointed in a direction, and said, ”Cement is pretty useless now. In this situation, a packet of instant noodles is worth much more than these bags of cement!”

”In these times, not being hungry is more important than anything.”

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped.

Looking at Li Yu and the others, it seemed it suddenly dawned on him.

Even if the cement was useless to them, from the looks of Li Yu and his group, they wanted the cement.

Manager Zhou’s face, oily even in the post-apocalyptic world, revealed a sly smile, ”So, you all want cement, huh? There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”

Li Hongyuan wanted to speak, but Li Yu raised his hand a bit and stopped Li Hongyuan from saying anything.

Li Yu said indifferently, ”Okay, what do you want?”

Manager Zhou was inwardly delighted, guessing correctly that Li Yu and his group needed the cement.

So he made a big demand, ”At least 200 pounds of rice, or instant noodles will do.”

The few people behind Manager Zhou, upon hearing the number, got a bit excited and began to discuss.

”We don’t have that.” Li Yu looked at him deeply and said slowly.

Manager Zhou observed Li Yu’s expression, feeling that Li Yu wasn’t lying, so he said, ”Then how much can you give?”

Li Yu directly said, ”I’ll give you 10 boxes of instant noodles.”

Upon hearing this, Manager Zhou was overjoyed, his eyes rolling as he listened to Li Yu’s agreement.

But feeling like he had shortchanged himself, he petulantly said, ”No, I said 100 boxes just now. If you don’t give them to me, I won’t give you the cement.”

At this moment, Li Hongyuan couldn’t hold back and interjected, ”Boss Hua is gone, the company isn’t yours!”

But Manager Zhou, unhurried, looked at Li Yu and the others and said, ”Anyway, if you want the cement, you need our permission, or you can’t take it.”

Seeing only five people including Li Yu and Li Hongyuan, he wasn’t worried and stood at the doorway saying, ”Hurry up, I’m waiting for you here. First, give me the food, and then you can move the cement.”

Li Yu turned around and asked Li Hongyuan, ”Are you not familiar with this Manager Zhou?”

Li Hongyuan replied, ”Not familiar, we’ve just seen each other a few times.”

Li Yu had an idea, then he headed straight for the armored vehicle.

Seeing his elder brother move, Li Hang followed to the vehicle with perfect understanding, having learned more and more about his elder brother through several lessons from being hit.

Manager Zhou watched as Li Yu walked to the back of the vehicle,

Mistaking it as Li Yu having second thoughts, he followed and shouted, ”Hey, let’s talk business, negotiate a bit more.”

He stopped there, cursing under his breath until he could no longer see Li Yu.

Li Yu emerged from the factory to the corner of the street, and because of the corner, Manager Zhou and his group hadn’t seen the convoy and the people behind.

Li Yu took a submachine gun from the vehicle, slowly walking over.

Raising the gun toward Manager Zhou, he said, ”How about now?”
