Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Snowflakes were swirling, amid the vibrations of the vehicle and the ground, the snow accumulated on the roadside trees shook off.

Swoosh~ The snowflakes drifted down

Rumble, rumble~

The sound of the car was the loudest in the city.

Creak, creak~

A huge tiger followed behind the vehicle, stepping on the accumulated snow, its body lurking low and slowly trailing behind.

With plenty of patience.

The tiger’s figure stood out in this snowy world, but since it was crouching and it was still snowing, Li Yu and the others hadn’t noticed it yet.

Inside the car.

Li Hang was dismantling the inverter he found yesterday at the Solar Energy Flagship Store to see if it could still be fixed.

Yang Tianlong sat up and looked outside by the glass window.

Chirp~

Yang Tianlong opened the window just a crack, letting the cold wind whirl in a bit of snowflakes.

The cold breeze invigorated the somewhat drowsy Yang Tianlong, who had been lying in bed since getting injured yesterday, and with many people inside the vehicle, space was limited.

It was warm, but it was stuffy after staying inside for a long time.

Open a window for some fresh air.

The cold air from outside entered the vehicle, carrying away some warmth but also bringing in fresh air.

The passengers inside felt a bit chilly, but seeing that it was Yang Tianlong who opened the window halfway, they didn’t say anything as they too felt stuffy inside; it was good to air out the space a bit.

The windows of this Unimog were double-layered, one layer of glass and an outer layer of steel bars, making it safer with such dual protection.

Thus, even if the bulletproof glass window was opened, there wasn’t too much to worry about the sudden appearance of anything outside the window.

Time passed slowly bit by bit.

As they passed through Jiefang City, the drivers Lao Lu and Lao Xie all looked over.

The gates of Jiefang City were wide open, eerily empty without any human presence.

Both doors were battered, with frozen icicles hanging on them, looking extremely sharp and reflecting light under the sunlight.

There was also an overturned vehicle at the gate, now concealed by the accumulated snow.

Seeing Jiefang City, everyone felt mixed emotions.

Especially those like Lao Lu who had come from Jiefang City, who felt particularly stifled.

Times had changed, people had changed, and this current Jiefang City had changed too, looking just like ruins.

The two vehicles continued driving.

Fifteen minutes later, they finally reached the electronic wholesale market that Li Hang had mentioned.

The Southern region had many hills, few plains.

Many of the roads undulated, many were carved through mountains, thus there were many tunnels.

This electronic wholesale market was situated on a small hill; though it was called a hill, much of it had been hollowed out.

The vehicles drove uphill, and from afar, they saw a sign: Electronic Wholesale Market

The character ”市” in the sign had fallen off, and there was a layer of snow on the remaining characters.

”Is this the place?” Dapao parked the vehicle at the entrance, looking at the structures resembling exhibition halls in front of him.

”Yes, this is the place,” Li Hang said.

He had worked here for some time when he first started his internship after graduation, and he was very familiar with this place.

”Alright, let’s get off then,” Dapao said.

Dapao stepped out directly from the driver’s seat, followed by Lao Xie and Li Hang.

”Ah, I was suffocating inside~” Dapao exclaimed after getting out, stretching widely and immediately feeling a shiver of comfort throughout his body.

About 30 meters behind them, a light yellow tiger was lying on the ground, watching them.

Li Yu saw Dapao and others getting out in front, and he too jumped out of the vehicle, his submachine gun still in hand, which was typical for him; anytime they left the base, he would remain extremely alert.

He used to be like that even inside the base. This became his instinct after the years of rebirth, and he had nearly harmed others several times due to being too tense.

Later, Third Uncle noticed his issue and taught him a small trick, enabling him to relax from his constant tense state.

Staying constantly tense was greatly draining, and maintaining such tension without proper rest significantly impacted a person’s condition.

Li Yu got out of the vehicle and looked around but did not see anything unusual.

”Is this the place, Xiao Hang?” Li Yu called out from behind.

Li Hang got out of the car and walked a few steps toward Li Yu, saying, ”Yes, this is the place, let’s go down and look.”

Li Yu nodded, but suddenly, he felt the hairs on his back stand up, a bad premonition rising from the bottom of his heart.

Ssss~

The wind stirred the accumulated snow, making a sound.

”Watch out!” Li Hang suddenly yelled at Li Yu.

Li Yu quickly rolled forward, tumbling twice.

A powerful gust swept over the back of his head.

That was close!

The tiger that had been hidden all along suddenly pounced towards Li Yu.

Before Li Yu could fully stand up, the tiger’s tail swept towards him.

Bang!

The tail hit Li Yu on the shoulder, but because he was wearing thick clothes and an anti-explosion suit on the outside,

there was a protruding shoulder pad at that spot, which blocked the tiger’s sweeping tail.

However, the sweep made Li Yu grunt, almost unable to catch his breath.

But that sweep slid Li Yu several meters across the smooth snowy ground.

All these events occurred in the blink of an eye, and just a second or two had caused all this.

Everyone was still unable to react.

Dapao, who had been stretching in front, turned around quickly upon hearing the commotion behind.

He saw a majestic tiger, 4 to 5 meters long, rearing its head, its gaping maw wide open, and lunging towards Li Hang.

In the stillness, one could see this scene:

Two vehicles, the Unimog in front, and a truck behind.

Shang Xue’er and Yang Tianlong stayed inside the vehicle, while Lao Xie stood to the right of the Unimog. Since the tiger had attacked from the left, he had not seen what had just transpired.

To the left of the vehicles.

Dapao was the farthest from the tiger, but he had the clearest view of it.

Li Hang was less than 6 meters away from the tiger, facing it directly.

Li Yu had slid several meters before falling to the ground.

After Li Hang had just warned Li Yu, he watched helplessly as the tiger pounced on Li Yu and then flung him away.

Now, as the tiger lunged at him, Li Hang hurriedly drew his dagger from his thigh and stabbed upwards.

The light yellow tiger, extremely intelligent, smacked the dagger out of Li Hang’s hand while in mid-air.

Li Hang quickly imitated Li Yu’s earlier movement, sinking his body down, as the tiger jumped over his head.

Just as Dapao saw Li Hang dodge a mishap and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the tiger pounce directly toward him.

”Damn.” Dapao had not brought a gun when he got out of the car, only a dagger.

Fortunately, he was standing in front of the left side of the Unimog, and he swiftly moved to the right.

Narrowly escaping once again.

Bang bang bang –

Li Yu, who had just fallen to the ground, now stood up and fired several shots at the large tiger.

One bullet hit the tiger squarely in the lower back, but the tiger dodged the other two.

”What’s happening?” Lao Xie, seeing Dapao run from the left to the right, especially after hearing the gunshots, hastily asked.

”Tiger! Get a gun!” Dapao was direct.

Lao Xie promptly pulled out the handgun tucked in his waistband and took a couple of steps forward.

After getting injured, the tiger did not retreat or show fear but instead became even more ferocious.

Turning its head, it stuck out its blood-red tongue, licked its knife-like teeth, and bristled its needle-like whiskers.

It opened its blood-stained mouth wide and roared angrily:

Roar –

Deafening.

Li Yu, facing the tiger directly, felt an invisible wave of sound hit him.

Despite the ringing in his ears, Li Yu raised his submachine gun and opened fire directly at the tiger.

Bang bang bang!

The tiger, fast-moving, dodged the bullets from Li Yu.

Bang!

Lao Xie rushed from the right to the left and upon seeing the tiger’s back not far away, shot directly.

The tiger, mid-pounce towards Li Yu, staggered upon being hit but continued charging towards Li Yu.

Bang bang bang!

More gunshots followed, this time from Lao Lu, who was seated on the left driver’s side of the truck.

Everything had happened too quickly, almost too fast for him to react.

But he had clearly seen the tiger pounce towards Dapao, quickly rolled down the car window, and fired three shots at the tiger in rapid succession.

The tiger was hit by another bullet, his body shook twice, and his speed significantly reduced.

Li Yu took this opportunity to target the tiger and shoot.

Bang bang bang...

A magazine’s worth of bullets poured onto the tiger.

A torrent of bullets riddled the tiger’s body, which now resembled a leaking barrel, oozing blood everywhere.

Li Yu set down his submachine gun, pulled out his handgun from his waist, and slowly approached the tiger.

A moment ago, if not for his quick rolls, he would have been seriously injured.

Notably, Li Yu was fully armored and even wore a riot helmet before getting out of the car!

Approaching the tiger, Li Yu’s brow furrowed.

The tiger’s eyes weren’t the bloodshot black and white seen in Zombies but were of normal color; there were no signs of Zombie infection on its body, indicating it was a normal tiger.

However, why would such a tiger appear here?

The tiger, hit by over a dozen bullets, seemed unwilling to give up and struggled to rise but clearly without success.

Thump!

After another failed attempt to stand, the tiger still collapsed to the ground.

A surge of nameless anger welled up in Li Yu’s heart, and his shoulder pain only fueled his rage.

On the vehicle, Shang Xue’er and Yang Tianlong, hearing the commotion, got out of the car with the help of Lao Xie, Lao Lu, and Li Hang.

But Li Yu bypassed the tiger and walked straight towards the truck.

”Director Li, are you alright?” Lao Lu, just off the truck, wanted to check if Li Yu was hurt.

But Li Yu didn’t respond, his face as dark as if about to drip water.

Walking up to the truck.

Clink –

Li Yu pulled out a cleaver from the truck, used specifically for chopping bones.

With the cleaver in hand, he slowly walked towards the tiger.

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Yu chopped at the tiger’s neck.

Crack!

The cleaver lodged into the neck bone.

Another chop.

Under tremendous force, fresh blood spurted wildly from the tiger’s neck, the red blood spurting like a water jet.

Li Yu relentlessly continued chopping, appearing crazed.

Until the tiger’s head was completely severed. Corpses separated.
