Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 663: Chapter 547: Under the Bright Moon, Changing Tune to Call Him Uncle (Extra! 1/10)_2

They were like chess pieces, pieces manipulated by someone.

Third Uncle saw his distress and remembered the refugee camp in South District of Juzi Island Head, and then said, ”Maybe he did it to protect you, or maybe he has his own unspeakable difficulties.

If your Camp Commander really wanted to harm you, he would have made you stay and let Gan Shang deal with you.

But he didn’t. Instead, he told you to leave immediately, to avoid this turmoil.

Think about it, if you leave, and Gan Shang finds out his son is missing, who is he going to look for?”

A word that woke the dreamer.

Xiao Jun immediately came to a realization, the emotions of betrayal he had been immersed in for the past two days dissipated instantly.

His eyes began to ponder, and he slowly said, ”They will look for my leader. If Gan Shang presses him, he will definitely use all kinds of methods to make things difficult for him.”

Upon this realization, Xiao Jun suddenly stood up and said, ”I have to go back and find him, I can’t let him be troubled by people like Gan Shang. I’ll take the consequences.”

Third Uncle saw his reaction and sighed, saying, ”Don’t be impulsive, sit down.”

After hearing Third Uncle’s words, Xiao Jun hesitated for a while, then slowly sat down.

Third Uncle patiently began, ”Let’s assume, your Camp Commander knew those scientific personnel were fakes, but he didn’t expose them. He must have his reasons. Think about it, at Juzi Island Head, other than Gan Shang, is there anyone else?”

Xiao Jun followed Third Uncle’s logic, thinking, then said, ”Our team has a total of one hundred and twenty people. Besides the ones I took out, there are about 80 people with the Camp Commander at Juzi Island.

In addition, Gan Shang has three hundred people.

Hmm, South District has additionally received over two thousand refugees from outside.

”Refugees?”

Xiao Jun’s eyes lit up, he suddenly realized that perhaps the Camp Commander stayed there to protect those refugees.

Seeing his expression, Third Uncle felt assured about half of his guess.

However, hearing about Gan Shang’s three hundred plus people, his eyes grew serious.

Gan Shang already had so many people, not to mention Gan Xiong.

Then he asked, ”Does Gan Shang’s group have guns?”

”Yes, but many of them are of poor quality, likely procured from the black market before the apocalypse.”

Third Uncle nodded and silently gazed at the moon, lost in thought.

Suddenly, he said to Xiao Jun, ”So, what is your purpose in looking for Li Yu?”

Xiao Jun was somewhat muddled by the question.

He had merely thought that Ma Di was the real scientific personnel and that they needed to protect him.

Moreover, he hadn’t protected Gan Gaojie well, and would surely be hunted down by Gan Shang and others, while Li Yu was the one who truly killed Gan Gaojie.

The natural chain of thought made him feel like he and the people from Big Camphor Tree were grasshoppers on the same string.

But, he still hadn’t figured out how to cooperate with Li Yu.

Third Uncle looked at Xiao Jun and felt somewhat emotional.

He was too naive, thinking things through too simply.

So, he spoke, ”According to my guess, since your leader is letting you go, Gan Shang’s people will surely have seen it. He does this to protect you.

Therefore, for you, and even for himself, it’s very likely he won’t reveal your whereabouts to Gan Shang.

But he could also, anyone should be prepared for the worst.

It seems, turbulence is on the horizon again.

Perhaps there was never any peace to begin with.”

Hearing Third Uncle’s wistful words, Xiao Jun felt a bit embarrassed and couldn’t help but say, ”If we hadn’t come to Xin City, none of this would have happened.”

Seeing the guilt-ridden Xiao Jun, Third Uncle said with a smile,

”Some people, they deserve to be killed!”

Those six short words seemed to carry the undertone of a violent storm.

An unparalleled momentum exploded in that instant.

Yet quickly, Third Uncle returned to his initial demeanor.

Xiao Jun was moved.

At that moment, a faint sound came from nearby.

Very light, but Third Uncle heard it.

He slowly turned his head towards the direction of the sound.

A cat.

A little orange cat.

It was the orange cat that Third Uncle had given some food to earlier.

Its steps graceful, the cat, seeing Third Uncle, showed no fear and directly ran over.

Third Uncle wanted to stand up and leave, but remembering that after being bitten by zombies, one would quickly turn into one, whether human or animal, made him pause.

But this little cat, from before until now, had not changed at all and seemed unproblematic.

So, he stayed seated on the stone bench, quietly watching it.

Xiao Jun also noticed the little cat.

Two big burly men, under the moonlight, watched the little cat.

The cat seemed to understand human nature. It sat in front of Third Uncle and began exposing its belly to be cuddled.

Third Uncle showed a rare smile on his face, took out some more crumbs of food from his pocket, and tossed a piece to it.

The cat approached, devoured the food without any hesitation, and after eating, fearlessly crawled up onto Third Uncle’s leg, rubbing its tail back and forth.

”This little cat,” Third Uncle muttered with a laugh.

Then he glanced at the factory, intending to leave with Xiao Jun.

But suddenly, the little cat at his feet became restless, not meowing but swishing its tail back and forth.

It seemed hesitant at first, then stepped forward, gently biting Third Uncle’s shoelace.

Third Uncle watched the little cat come forward and saw that it was just tugging at his shoelace, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

If the little cat had bitten him, during these extraordinary times, without knowing the cat’s condition, he would have been conflicted about whether to harshly dispatch it.
