Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Before rebirth, Li Yu would always feel terrified at night.

In the pitch-dark night, where you couldn’t see your fingers right before your eyes, zombies were invisible, and if you were outside, it was easy to get bitten by a zombie.

However, after rebirth, Li Yu was never again afraid of the dark.

This tall fence protected them.

More than that, Li Yu’s heart had grown stronger, knowing he was not alone. There was the support of a team.

The dark night, the gentle evening breeze.

Seemed to blow away many of the ressentiments harbored deep within Li Yu’s heart.

Focused on the present life, improving the overall strength!

...

The next day, they went to the Mountain Pond again, watching the crops in the field wilt due to the sun’s scorching, which caused a lot of water in the soil to evaporate.

They needed to replenish it.

Li Yu opened the sluice gate by the Mountain Pond, using pipes to channel water into the fields.

If they relied solely on ditches, a lot of water from the Mountain Pond would be wasted before reaching the farmland, but if they used pipes to directly deliver to the farmland, a lot of water could be saved.

Before the rains, they had to save and use every bit of water they could.

Following the flow from the pipes, water rushed downhill under the pressure of the height difference, Li Yu stood by the edge of the Mountain Pond watching the entire base.

A few months ago, the base was brimming with life, but after a sustained drought, it now seemed somewhat bleak.

This was still much better than outside the base, where some trees had completely dried up and died, and even those that hadn’t were yellowing.

In theory, they could plant autumn beans, cauliflower, radish, bean pods, chives, asparagus, carrots, cabbage, onions, lettuce, and other crops in August, but now the water shortage was a huge problem, making Li Yu and his team quite distressed.

They had already eaten bean sprouts many times.

Lucky that they salted many vegetables before, otherwise, they’d also have a big problem with their vegetable supply.

Less than ten kilometers from their base, there was a small town.

The town was deserted, and after moving out from the large building they had previously occupied, Captain Lv and his team had scoured the town for goods in the daylight before leaving.

Taking precautions, they settled in a more secluded village.

During the day, they did a quick search of all the buildings in the village, encountered some hidden zombies, and dealt with them.

Then they stayed in the Village Government Building, the best-built structure in the village, and importantly, it was surrounded by walls and equipped with tall iron railings adorned with sharp spikes on top.

This place was quite satisfactory to them. Under the Village Government Building, there was a sandy area with some cars nearby.

Upon checking, they actually managed to start two of the vehicles.

That night, they finally settled down.

The night passed without incident.

...

Several hundred kilometers away from the base was Harmony Garden.

Mr. Wang got up very early, and after waking, he walked around the amusement park. Their population was less than a third of Jiefang City’s.

A group of over a hundred people was quite a burden to them.

Originally, they had occupied this blessed location with ample land for farming, but the continuous drought had withered many of their crops.

They felt impotent and helpless in the face of a lack of water.

Now, they could only drill wells manually, but these wells had been drying up with the persistent drought, forcing them to dig deeper, reaching nearly 35 meters now.

Sigh...

Mr. Wang was troubled by this and met some people from Harmony Garden along the way, who all greeted him with respect. Mr. Wang was, after all, the big boss of Harmony Garden. After the apocalypse broke out, he had sheltered the nearby villagers along with some permanent employees of Harmony Garden.

And that’s how their community was sustained.

In the beginning, some people with ulterior motives wanted to take over Harmony Garden, but Mr. Wang was a local man who had made his mark in the big city for a few years and wanted to come back to contribute to his community.

Besides Harmony Garden, he had other fruit and vegetable farms hiring locals, so many villagers didn’t need to find work elsewhere—they could earn a salary at home. Therefore, most villagers were very grateful to him.

Some hoodlums tried to seize power.

Having experienced life’s harsh realities, Mr. Wang had anticipated this and arranged loyalty amongst his ranks.

He made an example out of the troublemakers and deterred the villagers once again.

So up till now, the villagers followed him with gratitude and a hint of fear.

After all, Mr. Wang was the first to shed blood.

Although he seemed amiable and approachable, that was only when he was not angry. When Mr. Wang got angry, the consequences were usually severe.

Harmony Garden, true to its name, had many amusement facilities constructed, such as merry-go-rounds, water swings, vast fields of oilseed rape flowers, etc.

There was also a pond specially made for fishing, which was now barren due to drought.

Mr. Wang had spent a substantial part of his fortune on Harmony Garden. Despite looking young, he was actually approaching forty.

He had invested a lot of money and effort here, advertised it widely in the surrounding areas, and the crowd from the city was growing steadily, drawn to this interesting place.

But the apocalypse had turned everything into the past.

Luckily, when the apocalypse erupted, Mr. Wang happened to be in Harmony Garden. By closing its gates, he accidentally turned his misfortune into a blessing.

Not only did he avoid death by zombies, but he also turned Harmony Garden into a base.

By accommodating these villagers, he suddenly became the owner of the entire base.

Originally, there were twice as many people as there are now in Harmony Garden.

But several ferocious zombie tides had caused severe losses.

However, it was also because of the zombie tides that their numbers reduced, and they could now barely sustain the current population.

But if things continued this way, they could only hold out for less than two months.

Two months—if no solution was found, they would be in a dire situation.

However, after some time, they hoped that some crops, which are less dependent on water, might supplement their food supply.
