Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 751: Chapter 581: People and Animals in Acid Rain_3

In fact, many of them were already plagued with various kinds of problems.

Breathing felt like a knife scraping their throats.

Their bodies were covered in itchy, red spots.

Sores and pus-filled infections festered on their feet.

Their moods were all terrible; the ghastly weather was unbearable for them.

...

Western Alliance.

Since the Suicide Squad was formed three days ago for emergency repairs.

Xu Min had also died.

The entire Suicide Squad perished, not a single person survived.

But with their lives, they bought time for Gan Xiong and the others.

They finished repairing the wall the day before the acid rain fell.

Their losses were heavy; in this round of wall collapse, they lost over three hundred people.

Before they could catch their breath, the acid rain followed.

The pitter-patter of acid rain brought them to the brink of despair.

What concerned Gan Xiong the most was whether the newly repaired wall would be affected by the acid rain.

Luckily, the weather was much warmer a few days ago, with temperatures reaching thirty degrees, so the wall dried quickly.

But there were still some problems; there were cracks on the surface of the wall.

It hadn’t collapsed, but Gan Xiong was still worried. He had some plastic sheets brought in to cover the wall, hoping to minimize the damage from the acid rain.

Sheltering under an umbrella, Gan Xiong watched Zombies frantically surge toward the wall, piling up faster and faster.

Lao Zhuang hurried towards him: ”Boss, you should leave this place first, it’s dangerous here. Young Master Gan Long is already on his way with reinforcements.”

Gan Xiong glanced at the rising tide of Zombies, a flicker of fear in his eyes, and then headed for the wall.

Seeing his eldest son charging forth with a group of people, Gan Xiong caught hold of his son and cautioned him: ”Be careful with everything.”

Gan Long was tall and nodded. Looking at his father, who was nearly seventy with grizzled hair, a sense of responsibility welled up inside him.

He had to shoulder the burdens of the Gan Family and told his father: ”Don’t worry, go back first. It’s too chaotic here; I’ve got this.”

Gan Long said this with confidence and then climbed onto the wall without looking back.

Gan Xiong watched his eldest son’s departing figure, his heart filled with a mix of emotions.

He had always been the strictest with this son, never sparing a smile since his childhood, always scolding him when he made mistakes.

He had never expressed appreciation to his eldest son.

When his son graduated, Gan Xiong sent him to work at a construction company, a subsidiary of their conglomerate, starting from the very bottom.

Over the years, Gan Long had worked his way up, step by step.

Now he was over forty years old.

As Gan Xiong walked, he pondered about his eldest son and their interactions over the years, realizing that he had barely had any meaningful conversations with him.

Sigh...

His thoughts then turned to his younger son, Gan Shang.

”I wonder how Shang is doing now...” A worried look flickered in Gan Xiong’s eyes.

Life in the Western Alliance was already so difficult, what about Shang at Juzi Island?

He felt some regret, regretting that in a moment of anger, he had sent Gan Shang there.

Gan Shang had been pampered since childhood, completely unlike his older brother, Gan Long.

Perhaps because he had never suffered much hardship, many of his actions could only be met with laughter or tears.

That one time, Gan Shang did something that outraged Gan Xiong.

In his anger, he had sent Gan Shang to Juzi Island.

But now what’s done is done, and regret was pointless.

Gan Shang could only comfort himself: ”I hope he can make some progress...”

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he saw his grandson, Gan Gaojie.

...

Xin City.

In the courtyard in front of the Government Building.

The bodies of Gan Gaojie and others had disappeared, leaving no trace of their bones.

Only their torn clothes were floating in the puddles formed by the acid rain.

Xin City was silent.

In the night, it resembled a ghost town.

In the drizzling rain.

A deer sprung up, splashing through the rainwater on the ground, causing ripples.

Roar—

Suddenly a Zombie appeared in front, charging towards the deer.

Startled, the deer leaped frantically into a nearby building.

Darkness shrouded all around.

Almost instantly, the deer screamed.

Eek eek—

A large group of Zombies was inside the building too, surrounding the deer in an instant. The deer had a strong jumping ability, but no matter how strong, it couldn’t leap over the enclosure of Zombies some ten meters wide.

Crunch crunch—

After another leap, the deer fell into the midst of the Zombie Tide.

Its neck was bitten through by the sharp teeth of a Zombie, making a grinding noise.

The Zombies around swarmed over, quickly devouring the deer.

Darkness enveloped the entire city, and the buildings and streets were littered with desolate ruins and debris.

In this abandoned city, only Zombies and the humans in dire straits continued to struggle for survival.

In this eerie and terrifying environment, the barking of dogs and meowing of cats had vanished, replaced by the dull growling and howling of Zombies.

The surviving animals could only hide in corners, trembling.

Their eyes shone brightly in the darkness, filled with fear and unease.

Their bodies were absolutely weary, accompanied only by solitude and despair.
