Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 639: Chapter 537: Things Are More Complicated Than You Think!

The sun, like a fireball.

The scorching sunlight, burning the earth.

It’s not even 8 o’clock yet, and the temperature has already risen to 40 degrees.

It was too hot, so they turned on the air conditioning in the car, and the cool breeze blew out from the vents.

Li Yu familiarized himself with each function inside this huge loader.

This vehicle was good in all aspects but it was too big and moved slowly.

Li Tie was driving the vehicle, and due to its high position, it was a completely different driving experience.

It’s like driving a vehicle that’s two stories high.

The wheels of the vehicle rolled forward, making a huge noise, but due to the extremely hot weather, not many zombies were attracted by the noise.

Even if there were any, they were crushed by the huge wheels and couldn’t stop them.

During the drive, Dapao dared not accelerate to the maximum for fear of overturning the car due to its enormous size while going downhill.

Once such a large loader overturned, it would probably be impossible to deal with.

Along the way, there were no major twists and turns.

Those not driving in the vehicle were preparing for battle, checking ammunition, and loading bullets into magazines, etc.

The journey was silent.

....

Xiang Province, Sha City.

The temperature in the air was visible to the naked eye, the rising heat forming a visible mist.

Third Uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead, having taken off his anti-explosion suit, wearing only a thin sun-protective jacket over his short sleeve.

In such temperatures, wearing a sealed anti-explosion suit would lead to heatstroke before even encountering a zombie.

Familiar footsteps came from behind, and without turning his head Third Uncle knew it was Old Qin.

”Captain, how is it? Did you see anything? Gulp gulp—” Old Qin spoke while gulping down two mouthfuls of water.

Third Uncle pulled out a firearm from the wall, and slowly spoke while holding a telescope: ”Estimated number of armed individuals is around three hundred, and also, I saw Xiao Jun.”

Upon hearing this, Old Qin immediately came over, crouched down, and looked through the telescope.

.....

The evening one day earlier.

Juzi Island.

Since returning, Xiao Jun immediately found his superior and recounted everything that had happened in Xin City.

The Camp Commander was a bit surprised, then asked, ”Are you saying that Gan Gaojie and his group all died in Xin City?”

Xiao Jun found it strange that Tian Rui asked this question, but didn’t think deeply about it, and replied: ”Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.”

A flicker of hesitation passed through Tian Rui’s eyes as he sighed, ”Xiao Jun, you are confused! You should have at least kept them alive!”

”What, what?” Xiao Jun looked at his most respected superior in disbelief.

Tian Rui spoke with a complex tone, ”The Gan Family is not as simple as you think. You’ve created a big problem, protecting them was just an apparent reason. Well, let me think about what to do next...”

Contrary to Xiao Jun’s expectations, he thought that after returning and exposing the true nature of the pharmaceutical company, everything would be straightforward.

However, the attitude of the Camp Commander was alarming to him.

Hence, he couldn’t help but ask, ”Camp Commander, what are the real details inside? Can you tell me?”

The Camp Commander sighed and said, ”While the Gan family has now gone to the Western Alliance, you guys should leave Juzi Island first.”

Seeing the Camp Commander’s attitude, Xiao Jun became more agitated, stepped forward, and said, ”Camp Commander, what’s really going on? Can you tell me? Otherwise, I won’t leave.”

Seeing Xiao Jun’s insistence, the Camp Commander realized he had to speak, his eyes lingering as he said, ”Do you know Gan Xiong?”

Xiao Jun, confused, asked, ”Gan Xiong? Who is he? What does he have to do with Gan Shang?”

Tian Rui sighed, ”He is the most powerful person in the Western Alliance, the very creator of the Western Alliance. Before the apocalypse, he was the key figure of Jason Group, and that international pharmaceutical group is just one of their subsidiaries.

Moreover, he has significant strength in Sichuan Province, virtually controlling both legal and illegal activities.

Gan Shang is his third son, and Gan Gaojie is his grandson.”

???

Xiao Jun never knew of such hidden layers in the Western Alliance, shocking!

But before he could fully digest Tian Rui’s words, the Camp Commander dropped another bombshell: ”Now, that security team at the base is also theirs. Moreover, do you know why Gan Shang always manages to bring back a lot of food each trip?

Do you know where it comes from?”

Xiao Jun gasped, muttering, ”Could it be that they created this apocalypse?”

The Camp Commander shook his head, ”Not exactly; they probably just knew about the zombie outbreak a few days earlier since they are at the forefront.”

Xiao Jun felt upset; there was so much he wanted to say but couldn’t bring himself to speak.

The two talked late into the night until the early hours when Xiao Jun left Tian Rui’s room, feeling devastated.

He looked at the moon in the sky, and smiled bitterly.

Often, not knowing the truth of matters could be more blissful.

This reality holds true at any time.

That night, he spoke with the comrades who had been out with him and shared what Tian Rui had told him.

Staying in Juzi Island, they could only wait for death; if they fought desperately, it would be very hard to win and might even endanger the Camp Commander and others.
