Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Slurp~

Li Yu sucked up a mouthful of noodles, then picked up two slices of beef, a full sense of satisfaction enveloping him.

Yutong just sat beside him, quietly watching.

”Have you eaten?” Li Yu looked at the girl beside him and asked.

”I just ate. Eat slowly, don’t choke,” Yutong whispered.

After speaking, she handed over the thermos: ”Have some water.”

”Mm, okay. Do you want to eat some more?” Li Yu picked up a piece of beef and offered it to Yutong.

Yutong was about to say you eat it, but seeing that Li Yu had already picked it up, she slightly opened her mouth and ate the piece of beef.

Yutong’s mouth was small, and the piece of beef was rather large, chewing with her cheeks puffed out.

The two didn’t speak again, and it was very quiet.

One person ate, while the other watched him eat.

One, tall and slender, was in casual clothes covered by an anti-explosion suit but still couldn’t hide his remarkably streamlined figure.

The other, with a graceful physique, similarly dressed in an anti-explosion suit, with curves well outlined to just the right degree.

Third Uncle felt the noodles in his bowl were a bit salty, so he pulled an orange out of his backpack.

Peeling the skin, the juice from the orange peel splattered.

In the air, there was a faint scent of oranges.

Many orange trees were planted within the base, and this area was quite famous for its cultivation. The soil was perfectly suitable; Gannan oranges, popular in 108 countries worldwide!

Peeling off the skin to reveal the tender flesh inside, Third Uncle broke off a piece and put it into his mouth, experiencing the sweet explosion unique to oranges on his taste buds.

Sweet but not cloying, fragrant but not vulgar.

Most importantly, this orange was very juicy; eating one was like drinking half a cup of water.

Li Yu finished the noodles in his bowl and, smelling the orange aroma, his taste memory made him crave an orange, too.

Seeing this, Third Uncle tossed an orange to Li Yu, who caught it with one hand.

Third Uncle continued, ”These oranges are all grown by us, homegrown ones are the best. Back when I was in the army, every October and November, I would think of the oranges from home.”

He sighed with emotion.

Li Yu peeled the orange and shared half with Yutong, sweet and delightful.

He recalled when he used to study abroad, often asking someone to bring him some oranges. This person left a deep impression on him; he even remembered their WeChat ID: ling495778992, with the nickname Tsinghua.

It’s been a long time since he saw them, and he didn’t know how they were doing. He remembered, before the apocalypse, many people sought them out to buy oranges.

Now was the orange season, and it was also a season with lots of rain.

...

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise, followed by a series of urgent bell sounds.

Ding-dong-ding~

Third Uncle immediately stood up and then looked outside the window, only to see dozens of zombies appear.

They were pouring in towards them, with the nearest few zombies already reaching the cars outside the gate.

Several cars blocked the zombies’ advance, but near the closest gate, there was a small gap between the off-road vehicle and the gate. The zombies desperately tried to squeeze through the gap, but the gap was too small, making it hard for them to get through.

”Yutong, get Tiezi and the others over here!” Li Yu instructed.

As soon as his words fell, Yutong donned her raincoat and walked towards that building through the curtain of rain.

In just a few minutes, Li Tie and the rest of the group arrived, noticing the zombies outside the vehicle, and as time passed, more and more of them appeared.

Under the normal sun, zombies are particularly weak, with low agility and extremely stiff limbs; hence, even encountering a horizontal bar can pose a significant obstacle for them.

But when it rains, for some unknown reason, zombies’ overall abilities are enhanced; the four-meter-high Unimog can completely withstand the zombies, but the height of that SUV is quite low, especially the front, which is just over one meter.

Watching these zombies tirelessly burrow into that gap, the vehicle’s front bumper was polished to a shine.

The downpour continued, and the sky grew darker and darker.

Below, the zombies still surrounded them, Li Yu turned on the high beams and looked farther away.

He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, not too many zombies had appeared; otherwise, things would become troublesome.

”Brother Yu, should we go down there and deal with them?” Li Tie couldn’t help but ask.

The sounds of these zombies were too grating, with a crunchy gnawing of teeth that left one’s own teeth feeling sour after listening.

Li Yu looked at the zombies continuously rubbing against the car, making unpleasant noises, and was about to speak when one of the zombies looked up.

It opened its mouth wide; rainwater poured in at an angle. It let out a shriek.

It forcefully squeezed forward, and then, that zombie climbed onto the vehicle and moved toward the interior.

”Don’t go down, just stay up here,” Li Yu said.

The scene just now was not unusual; under the torrential rain, the zombies’ agility was much higher than under the sun; they had also understood this in previous Zombie Tides.

That’s why Li Yu chose such a place, a cylindrical building over seven meters high with only a staircase winding up and no handrails.

They just needed to defend from the side of the stairs and take care of any zombies that climbed up.

Since the staircase was narrow, only allowing two people to pass side by side.

So standing on top, they would only need to deal with two zombies at a time.

Moreover, they had the advantage of higher ground, allowing them to attack the zombies below.

A zombie ran up, wandering around the circular space below, shrieking, filling the entire space with the echoing sound of its howls.

Damn.

Li Yu didn’t say to take action; everyone just got ready.

One zombie came in, followed by another, like a droplet causing ripples, more and more zombies trampled over the SUV and climbed inside.

”It seems that next time we should get a taller vehicle; this SUV is too low,” Li Yu commented.

Subsequently, the first zombie that came in reached the bottom of the stairs and began walking upwards.

Its speed was slow, indicating that its limbs were still somewhat stiff.

Li Yu and the others waited above, choosing this place primarily because there was a bridge behind them; if there were too many zombies and the pile of killed bodies became too high, they could still move to Rock Mountain.

The zombie climbed the stairs slowly but eventually reached in front of Li Yu and his companions.

The zombie, with a menacing display of teeth and claws, lunged towards them, only to be pierced through the skull by a spear and pushed down by a long stick.

Thud!

The zombie fell straight to the ground.

But the zombies behind continued relentlessly, step by step heading up the stairs.

It was now uncertain how many zombies were around, and venturing out blindly could easily lead to encirclement. The most effortless and straightforward method was to find a high point and stand there, gradually eliminating the zombies one by one.
