Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

The sunlight gradually disappeared, and the woods started to darken.

Everything was gray, but with a fading hint of yellow sunlight. Li Yu knew that although it was still possible to see clearly now, it wouldn’t take long, just about ten minutes, for the sky to be completely dark.

In the evening, the later it gets, the faster it gets dark.

Third Uncle, upon hearing Li Yu’s question, nodded and said, ”There’s no better way, we can only do this.”

After that, he glanced around, and saw many rocks of various sizes on the ground, some from when Captain Luo and others had bombed the entrance open, and some that were already there.

So he suggested to Li Yu, ”Little Yu, the zombies will definitely surge forward soon. Let’s find a way to block the entrance. The zombies can smell us, try to cover it up as much as possible.”

Li Yu looked at the stones and replied, ”Okay.”

...

At the foot of Mount Luotianyan, Dapao and a few others had just arrived here.

He saw Song Min and Deng Ben frantically rushing towards them, followed by a massive horde of zombies, crazed like cats smelling fish.

”Over here. This way,” Dapao shouted to Song Min and the others.

At the foot of the mountain, there were many vehicles brought by Black Snake and others, now scattered around the base of the mountain.

Dapao, standing on the roof of a car, could see clearer and farther ahead. Upon seeing the scene, he gasped in shock.

The last time he saw so many zombies was on the walls of the base, but standing on top of the secured high walls provided a sense of safety; however, where they were now had virtually no protection.

This worried Dapao.

Song Min, hundreds of meters away, heard Dapao’s shout and urged Deng Ben, who was still retreating and fighting, ”Run full force, never mind the rest.”

Dapao and the others, standing on the roof of vehicles, held their guns and supported Song Min and others by shooting at zombies chasing behind them.

Song Min had been running fine until, in her haste, she accidentally twisted her ankle.

Fortunately, Deng Ben beside her pulled her away just in time, otherwise, she would have been bitten by the zombies.

These people, following He Chao, had completely integrated themselves into the Big Camphor Tree Base. Li Yu provided them a path, supporting them during their most difficult time.

Having joined the Big Camphor Tree Base, it was a reciprocation.

No way could they abandon the people in the base.

Optimistic Xiao Han supported Song Min, and Deng Ben and others fought the zombies at the rear; with the support from Dapao and the others, the faster zombies chasing behind Song Min and the rest were eliminated.

Soon, Xiao Han supported Song Min to where Dapao was. Dapao’s eyes were filled with concern, seeing Song Min limping, he asked urgently, ”What happened? Where are you hurt?”

Hearing Dapao’s concerned words, Song Min’s eyes revealed her affection as she replied, ”I just twisted it a bit.”

Dapao immediately relaxed. So far, there hasn’t been any solution for zombie bites; once bitten, one could only wait for death.

Fortunately.

It was also due to their comprehensive equipment—they were protected from head to toe; otherwise, it would have been easy to get bitten by zombies in a moment of carelessness.

”Then you all hurry up the mountain. We’ll cover you from behind,” Dapao pointed behind them and instructed.

Song Min, concerned, said, ”Be careful, and come back quickly.”

She didn’t refuse, knowing that instead of fussily insisting to fight the zombies together, it was better to go up quickly and not hold them back; that way, Dapao and the others could ascend sooner.

Thus, enduring the pain in her foot, she sprinted forward.

”Sister Min, you...” The optimistic Xiao Han, seeing Song Min walking too fast and in so much pain that she was sweating profusely, started to talk.

”Don’t ask, let’s just hurry up and not trouble them,” Song Min gritted her teeth and said, every step causing throbbing pain in her twisted foot.

Deng Ben and A’Guang did not follow them but stood beside Dapao to resist the zombies pursuing from behind.

Bang Bang Bang~

The gunshots were incessant, and the very first zombies hit in the chest just swayed on the spot before charging forward again.

But more were hit in the head.

Dapao and other old-timers at the base had excellent shooting skills and knew that the critical part to target in zombies was the head.

Deng Ben and others also knew that the head was crucial for zombies, but having joined the base recently, they seldom had a chance to handle guns. Although Third Uncle had trained them, their shooting skills were still lacking.

Old Xie and a few others also came down and told Dapao, ”There are too many zombies. I brought a rocket launcher to show them some action.”

So, he took out the rocket launcher, aimed at the densest part of the zombie crowd, and pressed the button.

Boom~

The explosion directly blasted that group of zombies sky-high.

Against the sunset, the last rays of light shone on the flying zombies.

Golden, with a sense of destruction.

The pieces of zombies, their debris, all flew skyward amidst the explosion.

Dapao, witnessing this, couldn’t contain his exhilaration inside; it was so damn violent, so bloody, so fierce.

Beautiful.

This indescribable wonderful sensation lingered in the hearts of everyone present.

Zombies didn’t pause at all, they kept rushing forward relentlessly, not caring about the zombies in front being blown up into the sky.

Instead, spurred by the massive explosion, they chased fiercely.

But as they got closer, the cars Black Snake and his group had parked on the curb blocked their way, greatly limiting the zombies’ movements.

It was like opening a floodgate to release water.

The opening was so small, the zombies could only squeeze through the gaps between the vehicles.

Dapao and the others fired for a while longer.

Looking back, they saw that Song Min and the others had already reached the mountain and disappeared from view.

Seeing the zombies less than twenty meters away, Dapao finally said, ”Let’s retreat too.”

Old Xie quickly ran to a doorplate under Luo Tianyan, thought for a moment, and swiftly tied a rope, hanging two hand grenades to create a simple detonation device.

Seeing Old Xie’s actions, Dapao gave a thumbs up in approval.

After setting it up, Old Xie sprinted towards the mountain.

Seeing Dapao giving him a thumbs up, Old Xie waved his hand stylishly, full of swagger. Dapao, seeing Old Xie’s action, felt the tense atmosphere lighten momentarily.

He smiled, this Old Xie, always quite optimistic and cheerful, although only in his forties, looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, the key being his bald head.

As Old Lao used to say, Old Xie looked like an old man even when young, and even in his thirties, it’s curious if he’ll look the same in his fifties or sixties.

An interesting person indeed.

For Old Xie, since joining the Big Camphor Tree Base, having food and drink, and watching his daughter grow up healthy every day, he also had been at the base for a while.

He knew what the leader of the base was like, so he was assured that if anything happened to him, Li Yu would take good care of his daughter.

Therefore, he was relaxed, living his days freely, although often facing risks and battling zombies, he no longer worried about what would happen to his daughter if he met an accident.

He trusted the base, trusted Li Yu, trusted Old Lao.

Happiness in contentment, that was his philosophy.

Dapao and the others ran up the mountain, less than ten seconds had passed.

Then, an explosion sounded behind them: Booming～

Dapao glanced back while running and saw the granite doorplate slowly falling down after the explosion.

Boom～

It crashed down, hitting the zombies right on.

This blockage stalled the pursuing zombies, but soon, they surged forward relentlessly.

Dapao immediately threw a hand grenade that way, then turned and ran.

Midway up the mountain, Dapao and his group saw Song Min and another ahead. Although they were not slow, Song Min had injured her foot and couldn’t outrun Dapao and his group.

Dapao looked back; the zombies were more than a hundred meters away, not in immediate pursuit.

So, Dapao and Old Xie sped up, quickly catching up.

Meanwhile, Song Min, who initially sprained her ankle, ran up the mountain enduring the pain, causing her ankle to swell up, forming a large bump.

Without saying anything, Dapao ran up to Song Min, threw her over his shoulder, and Song Min let out a delicate cry, not out of embarrassment but because she worried about slowing everyone down.

Dapao didn’t talk either but said, ”Don’t say anything, just focus on running.”

After saying that, he paced faster up the mountain.

They were less than three minutes away from the top.

When Song Min heard Dapao say this, a touch of emotion appeared in her eyes, she kept silent, knowing her situation all too well.

From dropping out of school, working to pay for her brother’s education, to starting her own business and struggling every step of the way, she bit down hard and persevered.

She had always been strong, but which woman hadn’t hoped for someone to support her, to be her backup?

One can hardly discuss life without experiencing pain in the deep of night.

The events after the apocalypse weren’t her fault; she was a victim.

Since being rescued by Li Yu and having her brother saved, she became one of the most loyal people in the base.

No one looked at her differently; even Dapao greatly appreciated her life attitude, her generous and vigorous way of handling things, and they got together.

Home is where the heart is.

Song Min rested her head on Dapao’s shoulder, listening to the sound of him panting as he ran; at that moment, her heart was incredibly at peace.

Dapao was physically strong, even though others were running at full speed, he didn’t fall behind.

Steadily carrying Song Min, only the sweat on his forehead trickled down like rainwater.

The three minutes passed quickly, and soon they reached the mountaintop.

Dapao directly ran towards the rocks; the zombies’ roaring sounds were faint but getting closer.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and a flashlight was turned on near the rocks.

Seeing the light, Dapao and his group felt like they saw hope, took a deep breath, and ran vigorously towards it.
