Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Tie swiftly caught the keys Li Yu tossed to him, his face breaking into a radiant smile. He laughed and said, ”Got it, bro.”

Li Yu smiled and glanced back to see that everyone had already loaded the goods onto the vehicles.

Li Tie drove the Unimog SUV while Li Yu drove a different truck, having the others drive back the vehicles they had brought this time.

For this trip, there were about ten people who could drive. Excluding the vehicles driven this time, there were six vehicles, which were sufficient for everyone to drive back.

In this post-apocalyptic world, any useful supplies should be collected as quickly as possible.

”Big brother, I’ve loaded all these knives onto the vehicle,” Li Gang told Li Yu.

This time, in that huge factory, they found some usable items, including knives and some equipment.

However, they did not enter the cafeteria, where all the equipment seemed as if it were cursed, touched by human blood and corpses.

They also didn’t take any private items from the Salvation Army, owing to a sort of mental cleanliness.

Li Yu nodded, then motioned for everyone to drive off.

The sun was setting in the west; it would take some time to return.

They needed to hurry back.

The convoy headed toward Xin City.

The vehicles were arranged in a line, making more room for driving, with Li Yu at the rear and Li Tie driving the Unimog at the front.

Li Tie was an RV enthusiast. Ever since the apocalypse broke out, he had always maintained a reliable and steady image, but today, seeing the Unimog made him giddy like a child.

Li Yu, seeing his cousin this way, felt a great happiness in his heart.

The vehicles drove towards the sunset, heading towards the light.

...

Li Tie, driving at the front, wore a child-like smile. He had known about the Unimog long before, having attended some car shows.

He was deeply fascinated when he first saw this vehicle. It was too cool.

Due to its high price, he had given up hope of owning one, but unexpectedly, after the apocalypse broke out, he got to drive it and bring it back to the base.

The journey was joyful.

Dapao, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding a cigarette between his index and middle fingers, rolled down the window, letting the wind rush in. He took a drag from his cigarette, then lazily rested that hand on the window.

The wind smoked half of his cigarette, and he smoked the other half.

Behind him, Song Min drove and noticed Dapao’s protruding hand from the vehicle in front, her gaze complex.

Further behind, Li Hang, holding a freshly distributed cigarette, gleefully tore at it with one hand while driving. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided not to open it.

The vehicles continued towards the base.

With ten vehicles, the convoy was a considerable target. Li Yu kept observing the surroundings, checking for any hidden Survivors.

Occasionally, through the rear-view mirror, he watched for any followers.

The journey was uneventful.

In the quiet of the road, everyone’s emotions varied.

Having killed so many people, it was strange how there was no sense of pressure, especially for Li Hang, who felt as if nothing had happened. He even thought about what tasty food there might be when he got back home.

Thinking about continuing the console game at home after arriving because he was close to beating it.

He had tried this level several times already and had recently felt a breakthrough, making smooth progress.

The other girls, meanwhile, thought about having a good bath at the base tonight. It had been a tiring day.

They had traveled far, and faced immense pressure back at the factory with endless killing, killing, killing.

Especially after entering the cafeteria and witnessing a scene that devastated their morals.

It was truly shattering.

Time slowly passed.

No other complications arose on the road.

Over half a year since the apocalypse erupted, Li Yu had always adhered to a principle: to grow stealthily, never provoke others, but eliminate any potential threats at the earliest.

He was well aware that in the first five years since the apocalypse broke out, there were no particularly large groups.

Because it was a true apocalypse.

Not just the zombies. There were also natural disasters. Under the dual impact of natural disasters and the apocalypse, it was very difficult for any power to grow.

Especially the heavy rains, followed by extremely hot weather. High temperatures were expected next.

Lack of soil, water, and food.

Especially the lack of food, without a stable food supply, it was fundamentally impossible to sustain a sufficient population, let alone expand to a very large power.

No.

So, Li Yu had a very clear goal from the beginning.

He was not a Savior, nor was he a great man; he did not want to save all of humanity, he did not want to sacrifice the individual to achieve the greater good.

He did not want to become the hero of all mankind.

He just wanted to cultivate his own small plot of land well, only wanting to be the hero who protects his family.

If he couldn’t even protect his own family, yet talked about saving humanity...

Li Yu once watched a movie called ”A Better World,” which told the story of dealing gently with school violence.

Facing violence, not resisting, not fighting back.

Because if you fight back, you are just as despicable as the bully.

To make the world better, hence it advises people to be kind.

Bullshit.

Li Yu couldn’t help but criticize this nauseating plot.

Why? Why can’t you fight back when you are hit? Then, you endure this bullying, constantly comforting yourself, while the bully never realizes their mistake.

Even, they might never realize their mistake throughout their life.

And you, might live under this shadow of humiliation for a lifetime.

Every time you remember the scenes of being bullied, your heart suffers unbearably.

Why should kind people always be bullied?

If it was before the apocalypse, under any circumstances, one should not be too proud, not bully those less fortunate than you. Because they could give up everything at any moment to take your life.

The rope always breaks at the thinnest part, sickness always strikes the most miserable people. It’s a kind of sorrow.

And to gamble today on tomorrow without any burden, is also a kind of sorrow.

In both kinds of sorrow, it’s always the same group of people who suffer.

That’s the greatest sorrow.

Yet, in any era.

There are common men, when a common man gets angry, blood will spatter three feet high!

The former Li Yu was kind, gentle, harmonious, and quiet.

Until, during the apocalypse, amidst the killing, he suddenly realized: everyone will die eventually!

Yes, everyone will die, so what is there to fear?

Life has its length and its quality.

So, Li Yu figured it out, any potential crisis must be eliminated.

If anyone dares to impose moral obligations on him, he will retaliate.

If you find yourself in darkness, don’t fear the dark.

If you are darker than darkness, there is no obstacle to fear.

His murderous aura was strong, and so was his fierceness. His heart was even colder, sometimes ruthless.

Being prepared for the worst, he feared not even the destruction of the universe.

All he wanted was to protect his family and the people at the base.

That was enough.
