Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Tie and Li Gang looked at the mess on the ground, barely recognizing it as the corpse of a snake.

Somewhat speechless.

It was a white snake, with a somewhat peculiar appearance.

Big brother is truly formidable, fearing nothing.

”Let’s hurry in and check, if there’s nothing here we’ll move on to another place quickly,” Li Yu said, feeling somewhat down. Walking all the way here, especially inside the limestone cave, he would occasionally see messages from others declaring their visit.

And some people would leave messages like: XXX and XXX checked in here in XXXX year. Seeing these made Li Yu feel like punching someone.

The trio continued to walk a distance forward.

They passed by a small pond, which had some cool air coming from it, and water dripping from the rocks above formed numerous stalactites.

Li Yu and the others were not in the mood to appreciate these and hastened their pace towards the deeper parts of the cave entrance.

After walking for nearly 10 minutes, Li Yu began to wonder, is this cave really that big?

Walking for another two minutes, suddenly there was a bright light ahead, and a surge of joy in Li Yu’s heart.

In a few steps, he reached the end of this cave entrance, only to find an entirely different world inside.

The surrounding space was suddenly expansive, the searchlight couldn’t even find the end.

It seems this place really is different!

Thinking like this, Tiezi and Gangzi following behind him were also a bit excited.

This kind of exploration, quite thrilling, was all the more so when searching and encountering something that felt like a remarkable adventure, and to find a hidden paradise.

The three explored the surroundings full of expectation.

However...

As everyone walked a few steps and observed the surroundings, they had a sense of déjà vu.

Suddenly, Li Yu stopped in his tracks at a spot.

...

Seeing Li Yu standing there looking ahead, Li Tie and Li Gang also came forward. The three of them looked at the cave entrance in front of them, without uttering a word.

At last, Li Gang spoke with doubt: ”Isn’t this the cave we just entered?”

Li Tie said: ”It seems like it.”

Li Yu: ”....”

Damn it, no wonder it felt like the cave was so long; it turns out they had gone in a circle, turning round and round, and damn it, ended up back here.

Li Yu felt awful and exhausted.

Thinking about the other caves they had encountered a moment ago, perhaps it was all the same.

At this moment, he wanted to leave this sad place immediately, but he still felt some reluctance after having come all this way, was it really just for fun?

An adventure trip?

Reluctantly, Li Yu and the others continued to explore the remaining caves, and sure enough, as they expected, entering one cave inevitably meant you could exit from another.

There was even one cave entrance that led to several others.

Half an hour later, the three of them, dirty and disheveled, looked ahead.

They were not in a very good mood.

With nothing to show for it.

Damn, there was nothing inside, just some rotten wood and the like.

”Let’s go. Let’s have a look around the top of the mountain.” Li Yu sighed and headed toward the outermost cave entrance.

Li Tie and Li Gang also looked at the cave entrances with some annoyance.

Waiting impatiently outside, Dapao and the others saw Li Yu and his party emerge and asked, ”Brother Yu, how did it go? Did you find anything inside?”

Li Yu shook his head and said, ”Nothing. There is nothing at all. You and Wang Cheng go up the mountain and look around; see if there is anything suspicious. The three of us will rest for a bit.”

Seeing the three were all dirty, Dapao understood they had a tough time inside, so he nodded and said, ”Alright, Chengzi, let’s go take a look.”

The trio of Li Yu left the mountain’s main entrance and sat on the large stones at the entrance to rest.

”Big brother, this mountain doesn’t seem like the kind of place where arms would be hidden,” said Li Tie.

”I know, but we’ve come all this way; we definitely have to look more, otherwise, why did we come? Let’s search carefully; the weaponry is surely hidden very well,” Li Yu lit a cigarette, took a drag, and said.

After resting for a while, the three got up and walked around the mountain, which was not very big but had many small caves inside.

Everyone searched for nearly half an hour and found nothing, but Li Tie found a chestnut tree and directly chopped it down.

He picked the fruit from the tree.

The five of them then returned to the vehicle.

Uncle had been waiting outside for more than two hours and finally saw Li Yu and his group come over looking disheveled, especially the trio of Li Yu, all covered in dirt.

Seeing the chestnuts Li Yu and the others were holding, ”Is this it?”

But he didn’t ask anything further; their appearance said it all.

Li Yu still spoke up, ”Zhugao Mountain, it’s just a site, and not a very significant one at that. There’s nothing inside; let’s hurry to the East.”

Uncle nodded, asked no further questions, and agreed.

Li Yu handed out the chestnuts to everyone; the chestnuts were plentiful, and it took Li Yu and his group making five large bundles with their clothes to barely transport them.

Li Yu, Li Gang, and Li Tie got on the Unimog, all covered in mud and dust from the cave, and in a hurry, they had passed through various caverns while sweating through their clothes, which was uncomfortable.

The vehicle started up, and without stopping, they continued driving towards the East.

They had left early this morning, arriving here after 10 am, and the five, including Li Yu, spent over two hours inside.

Uncle Li Hang and others outside had already had lunch and rested for more than two hours.

Whereas Li Yu and the five who had gone inside, especially the trio with Li Yu, hadn’t really rested at all.

On the Unimog, Dapao and Wang Cheng didn’t drive; they ate on the vehicle and then rested for a while.

In the Unimog, Li Yu, Li Tie, and Li Gang took turns showering in the bathroom; the two Unimogs also had some clothes stored.

Just in time to use them, they ate a simple lunch after showering and took three bottles of ice-cold Coke from the car fridge.

”How come there is still Coke?” Li Tie asked, astonished.

Li Yu smiled and said, ”We always have some treasures.”

The three gulped down a big mouthful and let out a loud belch.

That first sip of Coke was the most refreshing.

Just moments ago, they were sticky and famished; now, they were sated and even enjoying a can of Coke.

Followed by a cigarette, it was as if they were living the life of gods.

Li Yu and his two companions took turns driving and resting like this.

It was about a four-hour drive to Silver Mountain in the East—if everything went smoothly, they would reach their destination before 5 pm.

But it was clear that they wouldn’t be able to search Silver Mountain today; they would have to wait until tomorrow morning to inspect it.

However, today, they must find a shelter near Silver Mountain.

It’s not safe to be out at night.
