Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

”Okay, don’t worry,” Dapao put on his mask, then buckled on a protective helmet.

Because they were outdoors, everyone was completely covered from head to toe.

Whirr~ Whirr~ Whirr~

A teeth-gritting sound rang out as Dapao quickly sawed the block of ice with an electric saw.

However, it was not sawed all the way through; when he was about two or three centimeters away from the zombie, Dapao changed the angle and started sawing from the side.

After making a few cuts around the zombie, the block of ice containing it visibly shrunk at speed.

Seeing that Dapao was almost done, Li Yu hurriedly called a halt.

He had no idea about the condition of this zombie; although he hadn’t seen any mutated zombies from his memory, he couldn’t guarantee their non-existence.

Upon hearing Li Yu’s reminder, Dapao also stopped the electric saw and stepped aside.

Opposite him, Uncle and Li Hang each stood with a heavy iron chain in hand.

All the while, Dapao had been careful not to saw near the head, so the thickest chunks of ice remained around the head and chest of the zombie.

But down at the feet of the zombie, due to their proximity to the flames, the ice had already started to reveal them.

”Let’s tie up its feet first,” Li Yu said.

He took the iron chains from Uncle, and he and Li Hang each took one to bind the zombie’s feet.

After that, everyone stood still and waited.

The flames burned, illuminating everyone’s faces.

Everyone was cold, but they were all curious about the zombie, so even though they were shivering, they wanted to stay a bit longer.

Or to get a bit closer to the flame, to warm up their bodies.

Seconds and minutes passed, and the block of ice encasing the zombie melted in the heat of the flames.

Crack~ Crack~ Crack~

It wasn’t many minutes before the sound of breaking ice could be heard.

Then, the continuous noise of ice shattering continued.

The sound shocked everyone, who all turned their eyes toward the zombie.

Dapao stood with a spear, Li Yu with a Mountain Axe in hand, and everyone else wielded some sort of weapon.

In the face of such a zombie, though it seemed unproblematic, everyone still had to be cautious.

Better safe than sorry.

The ice shattered.

The zombie’s mouth suddenly gaped open.

Roar~

A loud roar spread throughout Weng City, then traveled even farther.

Second Uncle, who was in the base at the time soaking his feet due to frequent chilblains from going out often, almost knocked over the foot bath when he heard the zombie’s roar.

Immediately, he pulled his feet out, put on socks and shoes, donned a coat, and rushed frantically towards the entrance.

On Li Yu’s side, as soon as they heard the zombie’s roar,

he immediately moved forward, pushing the Mountain Axe directly into the zombie’s mouth, followed closely by Li Hang and the others.

They held down the zombie’s body tightly, and Li Yu took out pliers to pull out its teeth, one by one.

Up until now, zombie infection was spread through biting.

The zombie twitched all over, its strength enormous.

After removing the zombie’s teeth, Li Yu, fearing it would cry out again, found a piece of wood from the pile of firewood next to him and forced it into its mouth.

Seemingly afraid it would spit it out, he then pressed an iron mask onto its face.

Then tie up the hands of this zombie.

By now, the zombie could no longer make any noise, with both hands and feet bound by chains.

It could only stand there, opening its mouth wide silently roaring.

”This zombie is really strong!” Li Hang exhaled a breath of relief, it was not easy to hold down this zombie just now.

Li Yu didn’t respond. It was only when he removed the teeth of this zombie that he noticed the skin still had hair on it.

You should know that in normal cases, the initial transformation of a zombie is very brief.

From being bitten to turning into a zombie, it takes only a few to several minutes.

And in later stages, the surface skin of the zombie becomes particularly smooth, devoid of any hair.

Was this zombie just turned or has it mutated?

Bai Jie’s expression was very serious. She closely examined the zombie and then turned to say, ”I need a Research Room.”

Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, ”List what you need for me. We’ve also cleared out a few hospitals before, see what you want from there.”

Bai Jie nodded.

Right now, no one was clear about the situation. It might as well be better to let Bai Jie and the others conduct their research.

Even if in the end it turns out this zombie has just transformed from a human, it wouldn’t matter.

Allowing Bai Jie and others to first research the zombies, to better understand them, might bring some benefits in the future.

However, if it were such a coincidence, this human must have been bitten by another zombie on his way here, causing him to turn in just several minutes.

In several minutes time, with the weather like this, not a single zombie in sight, where could the other zombies be hiding?

On the other hand, this zombie looked unfamiliar to everyone, and nobody knew him; how did this person know the location of this base before he died? That was another huge issue.

Everyone was thinking about this problem.

Footsteps came from behind.

”There are quite a lot of people here.” The voice of Second Uncle came from behind.

”Little Yu, I heard the howling of a zombie just now, did you hear it?” Second Uncle came over and asked.

Because everyone was surrounding this zombie, it was out of Second Uncle’s sight for the moment.

Right across Second Uncle’s line of sight, Li Zhengping and Li Hang both stepped aside.

Before Li Yu could answer, Second Uncle saw the bound zombie.

With surprise in his eyes, he looked at the people and said, ”Was it this zombie crying out just now?”

Everyone nodded.

Li Yu then recounted their encounter with this zombie, transporting it back here, and the intention to establish a Research Room to Second Uncle.

After listening, Second Uncle nodded and said, ”The situation is indeed strange, but setting up a Research Room is indeed necessary, after all, know thyself and know thy enemy, researching zombies is meaningful.”

”Where should we build the Research Room though?” Second Uncle asked.

Li Yu thought about the structures within the base, the residential area within the small fence, a medical room, library, and other places.

The area near the back door used to be the breeding zone.

To the right was a planting area, which was now bare without anything.

Near the front entrance were a few factory buildings storing some energy materials and miscellaneous items.

There was actually a small building connected next to the interrogation room before.

The interrogation room was seldom used; in fact, there wasn’t really an interrogation room in the past, just an empty room repurposed for it.

”Let’s use the former interrogation room, after all, it’s not in the residential area and is somewhat safer,” Li Yu said.

Second Uncle thought for a moment and said, ”Why not put it inside Weng City? My suggestion, under any circumstances, is not to keep zombies inside the base.”
