Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

The torrential rain has been pouring for three days and three nights!

Whether it’s day or night, under this terrifying torrential rain, the night sky is pitch-black like ink, and you can’t see your fingers when you stretch out your hand.

In the torrential rain, even with the illumination of lights, it’s very difficult to see objects more than ten meters away.

In this county, some unnoticed little corners still have people alive.

They are resisting the Zombies in their own ways.

Xin City Middle School, teaching building.

The mottled walls of the teaching building have peeled off some plaster due to the rain, but at the moment, the 6 or 7 people in the Yifu Building are not paying attention to these things.

5th floor video room, a dim light emanates from inside...

Five teenagers who still look like middle school students are anxiously watching the direction of the door.

Their food had run out three days ago, and they had planned to go out to look for food on the day the torrential rain started, but man’s plans cannot compare to heaven’s. Who would have expected the storm to strike and Zombies to riot.

Suddenly the entire campus was swarming with crazy, violent Zombies.

And leading them were their two teachers. Originally their class had more than 40 people, but after some time, many were bitten by the Zombies and eventually turned into Zombies. In the end, only a few of them and two teachers remained.

And these two teachers, just two hours ago, risked their lives to step out of the video room to look for food.

Originally, this building was free of Zombies, but because of the Zombie outbreak, the gates at the bottom of the building were violently breached by Zombies, eventually leading to Zombies in the building.

They were originally stationed on the second floor, but because Zombies suddenly burst into the building, they could only run upstairs, eventually settling in the video room.

The door of the video room was made of sturdy material, considering sound insulation, so Zombies outside could hardly break in.

But because these people have not eaten for a long time, if they continued to wait and completely ran out of strength, they might have to wait to die. That’s why the two teachers, without hesitation, went out to find food!

In this apocalyptic world where human nature is lost, there are still some people who stick to their beliefs!

Sticking to their professional ethics and integrity, several teachers had already died protecting their students over these months.

And the remaining two teachers also went out to find food for everyone.

Two hours, to these waiting teenagers, felt like two centuries long.

They also wanted to help the two teachers look for food, but were refused by the teachers.

Time passed by minute by minute, but still, there was no sound from outside the door. This made everyone in the video room exceedingly anxious.

Suddenly, there came a rhythmic knocking from outside the door, two long knocks followed by a short one.

The door was immediately opened.

A woman, about 26 years old with a gentle and intelligent temperament and an oval-shaped face, with a graceful figure, her eyes revealing a hint of panic and sorrow. She was holding a steel spear in one hand, her backpack stuffed full, and she was carrying another bag in her other hand.

She saw the door open and a flash of joy crossed her eyes; she immediately darted into the video room,

The door was promptly sealed shut.

Then came a burst of Zombie howls from behind.

”Where’s Teacher Xie?”

”Teacher Liu, why didn’t Teacher Xie come back?”

The teenagers were somewhat excited to see Teacher Liu with two bags full of stuff, but they quickly noticed that Teacher Xie, who had gone with her, was nowhere to be seen, and so they asked.

Teacher Liu, upon hearing this, showed even deeper sorrow in her eyes, and as she looked up at pairs of bright eyes filled with hope, concern, and a hint of fear,

For a moment, she didn’t speak, her throat as if blocked by something.

Seeing her expression, the teenagers seemed to understand something, and soon there were one or two sounds of sobbing.

Teacher Liu took a moment to compose herself, then spoke with grief, ”Teacher Xie was bitten by a Zombie, and later we were surrounded by a lot of Zombies. He... he distracted them to cover me, rushing towards the Zombies, blocking them so I could run back here.”

It seemed as if she recalled that moment, Teacher Xie bravely rushing towards the Zombie horde to protect her. Even as he was being bitten by the Zombies, he still firmly grasped a few in front of him, all to try to buy her some more time.

”We went to the vending machine on the third floor; originally there were few Zombies when we got there, but once we reached the third floor and took the food from the vending machine, Zombies suddenly started to increase.

Then... then we intended to hide in a classroom for a bit, but who knew the Zombies would run so fast, they came straight up, and Teacher Xie was bitten while covering for me...”

Having said that, she fell into a deep pit of self-reproach, regret, and sorrow.

Everyone was grieving; although they had grown accustomed to the passing of those around them during this time, they still felt a profound sadness, accompanied by a deep sense of powerlessness.

Two female students broke down into tears, while three male students quietly wiped away their own.

Teacher Xie had always been their favorite instructor, somewhat aged but with a heart that remained ever youthful--a true old rascal at heart. They vividly remembered how Teacher Xie would recite poetry in class with a loud and emotion-filled voice:

”For humans, the gates are firmly locked,

For dogs, the holes are left wide open,

A voice bellows:

’Crawl out for your freedom!’

I yearn for freedom,

But I’m well aware—

How could a human body squeeze through a dog’s hole?

I can only hope,

For the day—

When the underground fires rage,

Burning this living coffin and me together,

In the flames and the blood, I shall achieve immortality.”

They remembered Teacher Xie’s face often flushed with excitement from reading poems,

Remembered the many little stories he shared when he sensed their boredom with studies,

Remembered Teacher Xie treating all students as friends after class, the very image of an old rascal.

When people die, those who remain must live on,

Teacher Liu, holding back the pain inside, set down his backpack, opened it, and took out food to distribute to the students.

Although the students were very hungry, their elation at receiving the food was less than imagined; instead, they felt a daunting heaviness in their hands—the food was bought with Teacher Xie’s life!

Seeing their mood,

Teacher Liu spoke up:

”Let’s eat something first. Teacher Xie wouldn’t want his efforts to be in vain. So, eat! Survive, and don’t betray his expectations!”

The students, sorrowful, tore open their food packaging and mechanically stuffed the food into their mouths.

Yet this was just a microcosm of what was happening in the city.

In many nooks and crannies, far worse events were occurring: some people were torn to pieces alive by zombies, others had their hiding places discovered and overrun, ending in their dismemberment; some, too afraid of zombies and despite food shortages, didn’t dare venture out, ultimately starving to death...

The night remained pitch-black,

The dawn, still not in sight.

When will the rain stop, when will the Zombie Tide end, no one knows.

Everyone is fighting desperately to hold on, enduring with all their might, hoping for hope to come tomorrow.

But few are fortunate enough to have ample food and safety, struggling on;

Yet for many more, death comes in despair,

Until their final moments, without witnessing even a hint of light approaching.

Some, enduring and enduring, are still alive;

Many more, in the midst of enduring, fade away.
