Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

On the national highway side, the day after they took over from Li Tie and his group at the white house.

Li Yu and his team handpicked seven or eight quality vehicles from those brought over from Safe City and took them back.

The best among them was an armored RV from Dongfeng Mengshi.

Adding to the original Unimog, Big Camphor Tree Base now had two armored RVs, one riot control vehicle, and several off-road vehicles...

After communicating with Second Uncle and the others, a unanimous decision was made to head to Safe City in two days to eliminate potential threats.

In the year since the rebirth, Li Yu and his group had always been fighting—fighting against humans, Zombies, and harsh weather.

They had hardly rested.

But in order to solidify the base and ensure its security, they had no choice but to keep fighting.

In this post-apocalyptic world, there were always a variety of problems.

One problem after another, rather than weakening Li Yu and his group, had made them even stronger.

Through high-density actual combat, most people in the base had honed their individual combat skills to be no weaker than a conscript with two years of service.

...

And in Safe City, there was chaos.

The food crisis caused some civilians of Safe City to leave, seeking food further afield.

Since they had not waited for Hua Chuanlong and his group to return, Old Wu began to doubt if Hua Chuanlong would ever come back.

It was possible that they had encountered a powerful force and would not return.

But it was also possible that they had found a huge amount of food and simply chose not to come back.

Both were possible.

Old Wu still preferred to play it safe; he didn’t want to send out more people to dilute their strength. Now there were only thirty to forty people left in Safe City.

However, faced with the food crisis, they also began to venture out to the south and west to find food.

But as they traveled westward, they found that some coastal cities in the former west had been submerged under seawater.

Although they didn’t find much food, it was just enough to get through this tough period.

They also found some seeds, planning to designate a part of Safe City for cultivation.

They realized that relying on scavenging for food supplies was unstable and that these supplies would inevitably run out, necessitating a more stable supply source.

But the frequent weather disasters last year left them apprehensive, unsure if this year’s cultivation would yield a good harvest.

Ke Hanyu had always had an abundance of supplies, but after such a long period of consumption, they were also starting to feel the pinch.

Now Hua Chuanlong’s absence had caused many people in Safe City to lose confidence.

Including him, he would sometimes dream that Hua Chuanlong had found that force, hoarded the granary, and was living a life not even immortals would trade for.

But when he woke up, seeing the familiar ceiling, he always felt regret, wondering why he didn’t accept Hua Chuanlong’s invitation to go together back then.

So on this day, he found Old Wu and said straightforwardly, ”Let’s go find Old Hua and the others together.

Maybe they’ve already found the granary and don’t lack food now. We can’t go on like this.”

Old Wu looked at him for a long time, then said leisurely, ”What about Old Tao who went first, and Old Zhang who followed later? Have any of them come back?”

Ke Hanyu said, ”They might have conspired together, think about it. Such a long distance.

For them to run back and report, then transport the food all this way, not to mention whether they’ll encounter a Zombie Tide on the road.

From a human nature standpoint, choosing benefit over harm, if they discovered the granary, coming back to tell us would mean having to share with all these people here.”

In the business world, interests always come first. For Ke Hanyu, if it were him who discovered the granary, he would definitely not return.

Putting oneself in others’ shoes, it’s highly possible that that’s what Hua Chuanlong and his group have done.

Old Wu looked at him and said, ”Is it possible that Wang Xiansheng was lying to us, that it was all a scam?

Is it possible that Old Tao and Old Hua encountered some misfortune on their way there?

Is it possible that upon arriving there, they ran into a powerful force?”

Upon hearing this, Ke Hanyu quickly responded, ”How could that be?”

Old Wu didn’t say anything; he just quietly watched him.

Under Old Wu’s gaze, Ke Hanyu suddenly became alert. He had only been scouring the nearby area for supplies and though he had encountered some small groups of survivors, around here, who didn’t know that their Safe City was the largest force?

However, nearly 600 kilometers away, it was very possible that a force stronger than theirs existed.

At this thought, Ke Hanyu became frightened and said, ”So, if, I mean if there is a possibility of a force stronger than ours, and Old Tao and Old Hua haven’t returned, then it’s more likely to be bad news than good.

Given the strength of Old Hua and the others, their prolonged absence indicates that they must all have been blocked.

If that’s the case, this force must certainly be stronger than us.

Then, then, if these forces come looking for trouble, what do we do?

We, we, we, we have to leave Safe City!”

As Ke Hanyu spoke, he suddenly stood up from his seat.

The more he talked, the more petrified he felt, and the more resolute his thoughts became.

Old Wu watched Ke Hanyu go from his initial desire to head west to Xin City to his fearful insistence on leaving Safe City and finding a place to hide.

Polarization.

Old Wu waved his hand, signaling Ke Hanyu to sit down.

Old Wu said leisurely, ”What’s most important now?”

Without having to think about it, Ke Hanyu blurted out, ”Food.”

Old Wu then asked, ”Do we have it?”

Ke Hanyu reconsidered, thinking: Yes, indeed. We’re also short on food, even if there’s a powerful force over there. But everything is done for a reason, they don’t have food, so why come all this way?

Thinking this way made sense; after all, if that force wanted to come over, they would have done so by now, why wait until the present.

Thinking about this, Ke Hanyu felt much more at ease.

Old Wu continued, ”In these complex circumstances, anything is possible, but what we need to do now is not to disperse.

Recently, some civilians left Safe City and never returned.

Old Tao left, Old Hua left, now only we are left. Safe City was built by us from scratch, we can’t let it crumble.”

Ke Hanyu said with a bitter face, ”But food is a big problem for us right now.”

Old Wu said, ”You’ve seen recently, we’ve started to cultivate new places within Safe City. Eventually, we will grow our own food and be self-sufficient. We just need to persevere for a bit longer.

Once the nearby supplies are collected, we can venture farther.”

Ke Hanyu nodded, deep in thought.

He was still pondering the various possibilities of Old Hua and the others not returning.

Seeing him like this, Old Wu knew he was considering and said, ”Alright, think it over.”

After leaving Old Wu, Ke Hanyu walked down the road, head bowed, contemplating the various reasons for Hua Chuanlong’s absence.
