Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

7 o’clock in the evening.

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Today, Li Yu is on duty, and the night is the coldest time.

In the duty room at the gate, Li Yu sat on a chair watching the surveillance. Although the solar light allowed him to see roughly, the snow made it difficult to see clearly.

Snow fluttered down outside the window, clinging to the branches. The snow on the branches kept piling up until, eventually, it cascaded down to the ground with a rustling sound.

Ever since it started snowing, Li Yu hadn’t heard any birds chirping, the only sound was that of the falling snow.

Li Yu was watching the screen when suddenly, he spotted a shadow in the top right corner, unclear on the surveillance monitor.

Li Yu quickly got up, Yutong, who was beside him, saw his movement and hurriedly asked, ”Brother Yu, what’s wrong?”

”Look at the third camera on the right, is there someone there?” Li Yu said while putting on his coat, as the temperature outside was tens of degrees below zero, not dressing warmly would be asking for death.

Yutong squinted towards that camera, indeed, there was something black and blurry that resembled a human figure.

Bang!

Through the camera, they saw the figure knock on the big iron gate, making some noise.

Li Yu and Yutong exchanged glances.

Who is it?

Both quickly put on their coats, gloves, and took their guns and walked outside.

Although it was unlikely for enemies to appear in such extremely harsh weather, it was better to be cautious.

The two stepped out of the duty room, a chill wind burrowing straight into their necks. It was too cold.

The figure was right at the edge of the gate, only about 5 meters away as they walked past the perimeter wall.

Feather-like heavy snow fell from the sky, covering the figure below with snowflakes.

Li Yu stood on top of the wall, looking down at the person below, his gun always aimed at them.

Li Yu observed the motionless person below, thought for a moment, scooped up some accumulated snow from the wall, formed it into a ball, and threw it at the person below.

Thump!

The person below was hit by the snow, seemingly startled awake, and lifted their head to shout, ”Help!”

Seeing no weapons on the person, Li Yu felt slightly relieved, but he wasn’t particularly moved by the cry for help.

Since it was not very clear, he took out a flashlight and shined it on the face of the person below.

The flashlight illuminated the person’s face - it’s a woman, unrecognized.

The light made the woman below squint her eyes shut.

”An Ya?” Yutong beside Li Yu suddenly asked with an uncertain tone.

The person below, hearing Yutong’s voice, responded with surprise, ”Is that you, Yutong?”

As she was at the bottom looking up, and with Li Yu shining the light from above, she couldn’t clearly see the people standing on the wall.

Hearing the voice from below again, Yutong then confirmed the person below was An Ya from Jiefang City earlier.

An Ya had been following Bai Jie and the others, why has she come here alone now.

The temperature is so low right now, it looks like the An Ya below won’t last much longer.

After hesitating for a moment, Yutong said to Li Yu, ”The person below was from Jiefang City, part of the same group as your aunt. Their leader Bai Jie took good care of your aunt. Without their care, we might have faced even more difficulties.”

Li Yu looked down at the woman and found her somewhat familiar. He recalled the time when he drove to Jiefang City; when his aunt recognized him and Xiao Hang, this person was among that group.

”Yutong, Leader Bai and the others are behind. They cannot walk anymore and may have already... already.” As she spoke, An Ya passed out.

Seeing this, Li Yu quickly took out the walkie-talkie: ”Second Uncle, call over aunt and, uh, also Tiezi, Gangzi, and have Li Yuan bring the medical kit over too.”

After saying this, he didn’t explain anything to Second Uncle.

Then he said to Li Haoran and others at the other duty stations, ”Each of you come over, and one person stays put.”

After doing all this, Li Yu stood still. He didn’t go downstairs to open the door.

Yutong watched An Ya, who had fallen unconscious, with anxiety. In these subzero temperatures, every additional second they stayed outside meant increased danger to their lives.

After about twenty seconds, Li Haoran and Dapao came over breathlessly and asked, ”What happened?”

Li Yu didn’t waste words, asking the two to continue monitoring the situation from the wall. He then turned on the searchlight, casting the light far off, where he could barely see four small black dots about two hundred meters from the base.

”You two watch from this side of the wall. People at Jiefang City are coming for help, I’ll go down and check. Keep an eye from above, and inform me immediately if anything is amiss,” Li Yu directed, pointing to someone below.

”Okay. Fine. But, should I go down instead?” Dapao offered.

”No need.”

After saying this, Li Yu climbed down from the wall, followed by Yutong.

Seeing that the two had gone down, Dapao slowly opened the gate.

This outermost gate was rather cumbersome and couldn’t be opened from below, only from above.

As the gate slowly opened, the figure leaning on the gate fell right into the middle of the doorway.

Li Yu stepped forward, noticing the person wore many layers, the outermost of which was quite dirty with some ice clumps at the edges.

The person lay face down, with nothing likely hidden on the body, so Li Yu went ahead and tied the person’s hands together, then dragged them towards Weng City.

”What are you doing?” Yutong was shocked by his actions.

People are unconscious, and yet he tied them up. This is just...

”I trust you, and I trust aunt, and I believe they helped you before, so I rescued her.”

”Okay.” Yutong didn’t ask further. Li Yu must have his reasons for his actions, and being cautious wasn’t bad.

The two dragged An Ya to a small cabin they had constructed while building Weng City, designed for those returning from outside to stay for about ten minutes in case of rain or snow.

Thus, inside Weng City, near the perimeter wall, they built a cabin of about ten square meters.

Although the cabin was simple, it could shelter from snow and wind, also featuring a stove.

It was snowing outside. Li Yu and Yutong moved the woman onto a long bench.

Her hair had frozen into strands, and her eyebrows were fringed with ice.

Her lips were somewhat purplish, her eyes closed. Not knowing if they had touched water, her eyelids began to stick and freeze shortly after.
