Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

The two men holding kitchen knives were still howling in pain, giving no answer to Old Qin’s question.

Seeing this, a ruthless glint flashed through Old Qin’s eyes as he raised the kitchen knife to chop down again.

The fat-eared man on the ground, seeing Old Qin about to strike, hurriedly said: ”I can’t distinguish clearly either, everything from these days is in this bucket.”

Sweat drenched his head, not because of the heat, but because of the pain.

Especially the pain emanating from the broken bones made him gasp for air, ”Hiss. There, there, there are a few more people upstairs, on the top floor, you go and look.

It’s not our business, we were forced too, we were dragged over by them, we don’t believe in the superstitious nonsense of the Unborn Mother of Misfortune.

So we were sent here to do this most exhausting work, it truly has nothing to do with us.”

Beside him, another man who had an arm chopped off was also desperately using his remaining hand to press on the wound.

But Old Qin’s blow had been too forceful, severing his entire arm from the shoulder.

As an Elite Level Special Soldier, Old Qin was familiar with human anatomy—bones, organs, and could easily kill with a dagger.

Not to mention wielding a large kitchen knife meant for chopping bones.

The man’s arm had been cleanly cut off at the scapula.

It fell to the muddy, bloodstained ground.

The man continued pressing his other hand against the wound, yet blood still spurted from the severed limb like a broken pipe.

The man with the chopped-off arm had turned pale, his eyes flitting uncertainly as if he would faint any second, but he still mustered enough strength to plead with Old Qin: ”Spare us, we truly aren’t with them.

Really, hiss. Please, we beg you, spare us, we are innocent victims too.”

Upon hearing the words ”innocent victims,” Old Qin, with an impassive face, moved swiftly, killing both men with just a few slashes.

There was no doubt about what they consumed to survive this long doing such deeds.

This series of actions and dialogue happened within a mere two or three minutes, watching Old Qin’s decisive behavior, a flicker of admiration appeared in Li Yu’s eyes.

This kind of talent was urgently needed in the base.

Apart from being Third Uncle’s comrade-in-arms, everything Li Yu saw today proved that Old Qin had principles; he was loyal, righteous, and powerful.

Being able to face an enemy ten times their number without fleeing but instead figuring out how to rescue his own—this was loyalty.

Being able to face the groveling and begging of the small fry, not be fooled, not showing mercy, and resolving the situation decisively—this was power.

Indeed, he was worthy of being a team member of Third Uncle.

After the quick movements of Old Qin, Li Hang and the others’ eyes widened, thinking Old Qin looked a bit cool.

Right at this moment.

Roar~

Everyone heard the roar of a Zombie, and it was coming from within this very room.

Upon hearing the Zombie’s roar, everyone was startled.

They all raised their guns towards the sound.

At the window!

Tap tap tap tap~

Li Yu slowly walked over; the window was obscured by curtains.

Whoosh~

Li Yu lifted the curtain with the tip of his gun and pulled it aside.

The curtains flew open, but unexpectedly, there was still no sunlight penetrating from behind them.

Behind the curtains, the glass was covered with layers of black cloth, dense and impenetrable, not letting a single ray of light from the outside window through.

Roar~

As everyone’s gaze moved down, they saw a Zombie, completely intact, standing there.

But around the Zombie’s neck was a locked metal chain, tethered to a post behind.

Beneath the Zombie was a large vat filled partially with blood, and the Zombie’s face was coated in fresh blood.

Especially at the corners of its mouth, as if it had just drunk blood, oozing droplets of blood.

Li Yu turned back and glanced at the buckets under the hanging corpses; blood was still dripping from the bodies into the buckets.

Everyone, upon seeing this, easily conjured a thought in their minds.

Using human blood to nourish Zombies.

People captured from outside, their flesh for human consumption, their blood for Zombies.

Seeing this, Li Yu felt a surge of nausea, a gag reflex rising in his throat.

Even having seen cruelties worse than this, Li Yu still felt physically unwell at this sight.

This person must be related to the Unborn Mother of Misfortune. Li Yu had seen before how some couldn’t stay rational or let go when their loved ones turned into Zombies.

Unable to clearly think, they refused to let go, nourishing evil ideas in their hearts to sustain a Zombie.

Unable to personally kill someone important to them.

And treating other humans as nothing, using them to feed Zombies, such people, Li Yu would kill on sight.

This was no longer human behavior, but that of demons.

Looking at the Zombie thrashing about, upon seeing Li Yu and the others, it attempted to lunge over, but the chains around its neck immobilized it, preventing it from laying even a hair on Li Yu.

Li Yu didn’t hesitate, pulling a roughly 30-centimeter knife from his waist, directly aiming at the Zombie’s open mouth.

Puchi!

The knife plunged in.

He withdrew the knife, then wiped the blood off on the nearby curtains.

Turning back, he said to everyone, ”Let’s go upstairs and see if there are any Survivors.”

Then, he glanced to the right at Uncle Qin, his eyes seemingly inquiring about the result.

After killing those two people, Uncle Qin had pushed over the bucket with the heads in it next to the chopping block.

Heads rolled onto the floor, and Uncle Qin asked Third Uncle for a flashlight, closely inspecting each head.

Hearing Li Yu’s words, Uncle Qin looked up and understood the meaning in Li Yu’s eyes.

”Only Ah Huang’s is here, the others, like Ah Hong, might be upstairs,” Uncle Qin said to Li Yu.

Li Yu nodded and said, ”Alright, the deceased have passed, Uncle Qin, take heart.

Let’s hurry upstairs to look for them, delay could bring trouble!”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Qin instantly stood up; after a second’s thought, he picked up a kitchen knife, cut a section of the curtain, and wrapped up Ah Huang’s head in it.

The blood soaked through the curtain, dripping drop by drop onto the floor.

”Director Li, let’s go,” said Uncle Qin, seemingly regaining his composure yet the aura of killing intent on him became more pronounced.

Hearing Uncle Qin address him as Director Li, Li Yu felt somewhat concerned and said, ”Uncle Qin, are you alright?”

Uncle Qin shook his head, his tone somewhat calm, ”It’s alright, what’s done is done, blood must be repaid with blood.”

Li Yu, hearing this, said nothing more and left the room.

This composite building has a total of five floors.

The floor they were on was the third.

According to what those two men had said, the remaining people were upstairs, so they had to go up two more floors.

Beep~

Suddenly, Yang Tianlong’s voice came through Li Yu’s earpiece, ”Two people just came out downstairs, we have intercepted and controlled them.”

Li Yu immediately responded, ”Keep them in control, don’t let them leave; we’ll discuss it when we come down.”

By now, they had reached the hall on the fourth floor.

They had made some commotion on the third floor earlier, and it was unknown if they had alerted the people upstairs.

It was unclear whether there were still people upstairs, but it didn’t matter anymore.

Thinking of this, they had reached the fifth floor.

The fifth floor had just one room, which should be very large; before the apocalypse, it was probably used as a large conference room or something similar.

It’s come to this point, already here, let’s finish it quickly.

That’s what Li Yu thought.

He then signaled to Third Uncle; they still followed the same approach as before.

Breaking into two teams, one team at each entrance.

After about a dozen seconds, everyone was in position.

Like before, Li Yu kicked open the main door with one foot.

Thud!

The door was kicked open by Li Yu’s foot.

Li Yu darted into the room, which was entirely different from downstairs—the curtains were open.

On the left and right, there were groups of people: one group was bound hand and foot with tape over their mouths, looking at those who broke in surprised.

It wasn’t until they saw Uncle Qin that six of them showed a glint of surprise in their eyes.

Wuu wuu wuu~

They writhed, trying to speak, but because their mouths were sealed they could only make whimpering sounds.

”Who are you? Who let you in? Are you looking to join our White Lotus Sect?” On the other side, a group of about a dozen men stood, among them an older man spoke.

These people, seeing the firearms in the hands of Li Yu and his group, were not afraid but seemed to think that these newcomers might want to join them.

After the apocalypse, especially in the past two months, the White Lotus Sect’s influence in Chen City had grown increasingly large; they had gotten used to looking down from a high position at other survivors who hadn’t undergone their rites.

In their eyes, those who had not been baptized by their rituals were not blessed, while they themselves had been cleansed through baptism.

According to their god, the Ageless Mother, they had already achieved immortality, even if their bodies died, their souls would live on.

Thus, they were fearless.

This mortal shell, if the Ageless Mother required, they could offer it at any time.

The group didn’t speak, but their eyes all seemed to bear a look of seeing idiots.

Li Yu glanced at their bodies; they had no weapons, then stopped paying them attention and turned to ask Uncle Qin to his side, ”Do you recognize those people on the right? Are they your people?”

Uncle Qin’s eyes flickered with joy as he grasped the curtain holding Ah Huang’s head, and quickly walked over to those several people.

He didn’t answer Li Yu directly but his actions spoke for him.

Seeing this, Li Yu then asked those people, ”Is it just you guys? Are there any others?”

The group from the White Lotus Sect looked at each other, confused.

The older member among them answered, ”Yes, just us, our merciful Ageless Mother has taken people to rescue other lost souls.

No, that’s not right—I asked you a question, why are you asking me? Who exactly are you and what do you want here?”

Li Yu didn’t answer him, but turned instead to help Uncle Qin untie the factory workers and remove the tape from their mouths.

Seeing that Li Yu blatantly ignored him, the older member of the White Lotus Sect was enraged.

One must understand that he was the Great Protector of the White Lotus Sect, one of the first to follow the Ageless Mother. In the sect, his status was second only to the god and above tens of thousands.

How dare this man, who wanted to join the White Lotus Sect, ignore his words so blatantly.

Especially when he saw Li Yu ignoring him and directly untying those who had been sentenced by the Ageless Mother as sacrificial food.

His anger flared!

Rushing in recklessly, openly disregarding his questions, and now attempting to untie these people sentenced as sacrificial food as if intending to let them go.

This man!

What audacity!
