Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

The apocalypse began the year before last, and over a year has passed since then.

Li Yu and his group have experienced the initial chaos of zombies, droughts, heavy rains, blizzards, attacks from refugees, and multiple assaults by zombie tides.

They have all persevered.

Under Li Yu’s leadership, the Big Camphor Tree Base not only didn’t decline like Jiefang City but became even stronger.

....

Time moved on to the end of January 2024.

The Spring Festival had passed over a week ago.

Inside the meeting hall.

Li Yu gathered everyone for an internal summary meeting.

It covered last year’s annual summary and plans for the new year.

The attendees were core members of the base, including Father Li, Grandpa Li, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Li Hang, Li Yuan, Uncle, Ding Jiu, Song Min, Old Lv, Old Xie, Dapao, Yang Tianlong, Yutong, Lai Dongsheng, Bai Jie, Teacher Liu, An Ya...

Li Yu looked at the people in front of him, feeling emotional.

He gestured to Li Yuan to start the report.

Li Yuan stood up, glanced at everyone, and then said:

”Up till now, the population of the base has reached 113, with 96 adults.

In the base, we adopt a policy where everyone is a soldier; everyone knows how to shoot, and everyone has killed a zombie.

Although supplies in the base have been consumed, through our own planting and harvesting; and searching outside, the stock of food, mainly staples, remains stable with no increase or decrease.

The rice stock remains at 80 tons, flour at 30 tons, salt at 26 tons, and peanut oil at 2 tons...

Currently, in the underground planting facility, we are adopting vertical and stacked planting methods which are highly efficient in space utilization; the planting area reaches 5 acres for rice and 4 acres for potatoes.

Other fruits and vegetables were just harvested last month, nearly 1000 pounds...

Furthermore, some lands covered in snow and hillside terraces in the mountains are currently unutilized.

The total cultivated area adds up to 28 acres.

As for the base’s walls, from an initial 6 meters, they have been continuously increased and fortified, reaching 12 meters; the observation tower even reached 18 meters, allowing one to see distant objects on the national highway just by using a telescope.

Regarding weaponry, the base now possesses nearly 1000 firearms, including submachine guns, handguns, machine guns, rocket launchers;

Ammo consumption has been moderate recently, but still reached nearly a million rounds.

Additionally, some crossbows gathered from the county and the city now number 89, including twenty high-strength modern compound crossbows that cost tens of thousands each.

Before finding the military base, we also produced some arrows, which had satisfactory results.

These arrows were made from trees cut from outside the base, fitted with iron arrowheads, totaling 10900 arrows.

For vehicles, there are 25 in total, most parked under the base’s inner walls, with three or four cars parked in Weng City.

Among these 25 vehicles, one carries a 10-ton diesel tanker, one Unimog, one riot car, five off-road vehicles, one large bus, five new energy vehicles...

Many of these vehicles were collected from outside the base, and some are discarded after a few uses.

Outside the base, especially in the county city, cars can be found everywhere.

....”

The people below listened to Li Yuan announcing one figure after another, feeling a strong sense of security.

The current food reserves are their most significant safeguard.

Upon hearing about these food reserves, Li Yu also pondered something. The current 28 acres of land, before Captain Lv and Bai Jie joined, roughly supported seventy to eighty people, even a little more surplus.

As they are located in Lingnan, disregarding various disasters, the land yields three crops a year, and one acre can sustain three people.

Regarding their planting schedule in the south:

1. Early rice:

Usually planted at the end of March or beginning of April, the harvest season is mid to late July.

It is generally cultivated early, matures early, with a growth period of about 90-120 days.

2. Medium rice:

Usually planted from early April to the end of May, the harvest season is mid to late September.

Medium rice is suitable for cultivation in most areas and its development varies greatly depending on the region and climate, generally having a growth period of about 120-150 days.

3. Late rice:

Generally planted in late June, the harvesting season is in early October. Its growing period is relatively long, and the maturation period is relatively late, with a growing period of about 150-170 days.

In the southern part of North China, an acre of winter wheat yields 800 jin, which can only sustain one person, similar to Northeast and Northwest where only one person can be supported per year.

Last year, three seasons were planted throughout the year. If it were not for the large amount of water stored in the reservoir, only two seasons could have been planted last year.

After Li Yuan finished reporting the latest organized information, Li Yu nodded and said:

”Okay, Uncle, please talk about the situation regarding the base’s duty and defense.”

Liu Jianwen nodded, stood up, and said: ”Currently, the base’s defense is equipped with 5 duty offices and 1 monitoring room, totaling 300 cameras,

and currently has 96 adult personnel.

Everyone must take turns on duty, and personnel shifts are not fixed.

Currently, there are 6 people fixed on the surrounding wall, 4 patrolling personnel, and 2 people inside the duty offices.

...”

Then, Li Yu looked at everyone and said: ”Our base is getting more crowded, and in the future, there may be even more people.

However, I believe everyone is very clear about one thing, especially you, Captain Lv, coming from Jiefang City, might feel this more intensely —without food, having more people is useless.

If not united, the more people we have, the faster we die.

Regarding the base’s plans, we definitely need to go big, but we must prioritize stability.

Build high walls, store ample food, increase strength.

Now with the unpredictability of natural disasters, everyone needs to be more crisis-aware.

Now that we have more people, I’d also like to clarify everyone’s responsibilities here:

Li Hongda (Second Uncle) and Liu Jianwen (Uncle), responsible for the overall management inside the base, jointly have the leading authority when I’m not here.

Li Hongda mainly handles the internal basic order and deals with various emergency situations.

Liu Jianwen is in charge of managing the duty personnel on the walls.

We have three standing combat teams:

One led by me, including Dapao, Yang Tianlong, Li Tie, Li Gang, Li Hang, Song Min, and others.

Third Uncle leads Xie Weishan, Lai Dongsheng, Shang Xue’er, and some former Armed Police personnel.

Uncle leads, with Captain Lv as deputy team leader, leading Wang Cheng, Xie Weishan, and others.

Li Yuan is responsible for base logistics, including the entry and exit of materials.

Li Hongyuan (Father) and Ding Jiu mainly handle the internal construction of the base.

An Ya and Li Yushi (Grandpa) are responsible for planting and breeding inside the base.

Meng Yu and Li Yuan are in charge of the medical room.

Teacher Liu and Lai Xiyue are responsible for the children’s education.

Bai Jie is in charge of the Research Room.

...”

In each of these three combat teams, we integrate the new arrivals into the base, assigned according to their capabilities, and fill into various groups.

This includes, initially, Song Min’s group of sisters, some of Li Yu’s adult cousins, Captain Lv and some of his Armed Police members, and some workers led by Ding Jiu at the beginning.

We must guard against internal chaos; if internal affairs are in disarray, external matters are needless to say.

In this post-apocalyptic world, surviving for a year, if anyone can survive, is no simple character.

Hearing Li Yu’s arrangements, no one had objections, nor dared to object; everyone who could enter the base had been carefully selected.

In this post-apocalyptic world, one careless mistake could lead to disaster.

Li Yu, seeing that no one had objections, continued, ”Okay, then let’s talk about this year’s new plans,

I plan to push the surrounding wall outwards during mid-year, expanding by approximately 5 acres. That is about a distance of 20 meters outward.

Additionally, although we frequently went out to search for materials last year, many things are now consumed and are hard to produce, such as bullets.

This is a great challenge, but we can try to tackle it.

Regarding personnel training....”

Li Yu talked a lot, and everyone listened carefully. Although they had always been doing this, many things had not been clearly stated, and everyone was somewhat unclear.

Now having it clarified, everyone had a clearer goal.

Knowing which direction to head in and knowing the ultimately required objective.
