Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Today, Li Hang and Li Tie were on duty in the Observation Tower. Li Hang was meticulously observing the surroundings.

Since the last time Li Hang played with his phone during his duty in the Observation Tower and failed to notice the zombie attack in time, resulting in punishment, he never dared to let his guard down during duty.

The Observation Tower is several meters high and provides a clear view of the distant forest.

Li Hang continuously used a telescope to scan the perimeter of the forest, while the ultra-long-range searchlight was also moving.

Suddenly, he spotted two shadows in the forest.

Without any hesitation, he blew the whistle in his mouth.

Beep!

The whistle sound instantly drew everyone’s attention, and people looked towards Li Hang.

Li Hang shouted loudly: ”Zombies! There are two zombies!”

Those who were building the wall, like startled birds, immediately dropped what they were holding and ran towards the direction of the main gate.

The main gate was not open, but the small gate was always open.

As everyone had previously agreed, if an alarm was issued from the Observation Tower, everyone should immediately stop what they were doing and retreat to the base without any delay.

This time, because of the rush to build the wall, most of the people were out.

More than twenty people ran towards the small gate.

While Li Yu, Li Tie, Li Gang, Zhao Dapao, and Yang Tianlong stood on the outside, holding submachine guns to cover the retreat.

Not opening the main gate but the small gate was a final decision made after consideration.

The main gate was inconvenient to open and close, but the small gate was advantageous because it was quick and easy. Moreover, the small gate was not small, with a width of 1.5 meters!

The amount of people was limited, and the small gate was completely sufficient for three people to enter at the same time.

Moreover, the forest was tens of meters away from where they were building; the zombies would take some time to get there. Furthermore, with Li Yu and Li Tie and others firing their guns outside, even if there was a Zombie Tide, everyone could afford to retreat back to the base calmly.

However, when danger approached, human nature often revealed itself. Li Yu glanced at the forest behind him, seeing only two zombies, so he focused more attention on the small gate.

He wanted to use this opportunity to see what these part-time workers would do.

Would they scramble to get through, or would they do something else.

However, initially alarmed by Li Hang’s announcement of zombies, many from the base became less tense as the situation developed.

They had already killed zombies many times, so entering the small gate was very orderly, without any chaotic crowding.

Among the part-time workers, Ding Jiu was about to enter when he looked back, saw Li Yu still outside, and immediately withdrew his step and then ran towards Li Yu.

Another man, the one Li Yu had saved along with his wife and daughter, saw Ding Jiu’s actions. His face showed struggle and hesitancy, but then he recalled the scene of Li Yu saving his family; he also remembered his words to Li Yu that his life was in Li Yu’s hands.

Thus, he no longer hesitated, picked up a steel bar from the ground, and followed Ding Jiu towards Li Yu.

Li Yu looked at the two men approaching, their faces filled with self-sacrificing gallantry, feeling somewhat astonished, but his appreciation for them also grew.

Turning his head, he saw that everyone had already returned inside the big gate and heaved a sigh of relief.

Then he said to Li Tie and others: ”Let’s go back to the base as well.”

Nearby, Zhao Dapao saw those two zombies emerging from the shadows of the forest, so he put down his submachine gun, picked up the Crossbow, and fired consecutive shots at the two zombies.

Pfft! Pfft!

Two zombies fell to the ground.

Li Yu looked at the two part-time workers still standing here, patted their shoulders, and smiled, ”What are you standing around for? Let’s head back to the base.”

So everyone returned to the base, but after waiting for a long time, they didn’t see any new zombies appear.

Li Yu couldn’t sit still, so he took Li Tie and others with spotlights to check the woods. After confirming there were no new zombies, he asked everyone to come out again.

....

Construction of Weng City continues!

With the ordeal everyone just experienced, there was less chatting and instead, the pace of construction sped up.

Perhaps it was because the zombies had been few these past days, leading to some complacency, but the scene earlier was like an invisible whip, urging them to finish the construction as soon as possible.

Time passed bit by bit.

It was already the third day of construction, and due to everyone’s overnight hard work, the walls of Weng City were almost completed.

Since the sun had been strong these days, the initially constructed walls had become very sturdy. However, one characteristic of cement walls is that they have to be sprayed with water after construction, especially after being exposed to strong sunlight, which helps enhance the walls’ stability and toughness.

Therefore, these days, Li Yu and the others were also spraying some water on the walls.

.....

On the third night of building Weng City, the walls were essentially complete,

Two days ahead of schedule, the walls were finished!

The gate was also installed properly; this gate had been found in a steel material market before and was made into a suitably sized door through welding. The gate was quite thick, nearly 40 centimeters.

Although manual, it could be opened and closed by turning the axle on the wall of Weng City, using the principle of leverage.

After installing this gate, Li Yu was very satisfied.

During these days, Li Yu and the others hardly saw a single zombie on the walls. It was as if the world had paused momentarily, or as if they had suddenly returned to the time before the apocalypse, without the presence of zombies.

During this time, Li Yu was still leading a few workers, standing on the wall every day, spraying water down.

After the wall was constructed, it was as if a weight had been lifted from everyone’s hearts. They finally felt much more at ease.

During this period, Li Yu also got to know these workers better:

Ding Jiu had also experienced better days in the past, but later, due to various reasons, he fell into self-doubt and never recovered, but he had to support his family and ended up taking odd jobs to survive.

Another, the man whose wife and daughter Li Yu had saved, named Wang Cheng, had always worked around home, previously specializing in driving trucks for deliveries. However, due to the frequent long transports and night shifts and the lack of time to accompany his family due to always being out for deliveries, he eventually returned home to find local work.

The other three workers were neighbors from near Lai Dongsheng’s wife’s parental home. According to Lai Dongsheng’s wife, these people were quite resilient and had good characters.

Li Yu remained noncommittal, but through the past few days of building the wall together and encountering those two zombies, their performance had been satisfactory, so Li Yu made no further moves.

....

Two days later.

Weng City had been fully built, its gate was also ready, and the walls had become very hard after several days of watering and exposure to the harsh sun.

However, Li Yu still felt uneasy inside.

Until now, the zombies hadn’t come, which made him worried:

Based on his past experiences, a prolonged silence of zombies often meant a longer gathering time for them.

This also meant that the impending Zombie Tide would be even larger!
