Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 929: Chapter 647: Big Camphor Tree Base Population Nears 400

Yun Province.

A driving school not far from the highway.

Night falls.

A lot of people emerge from the vehicles almost as soon as they stop, Zhou Zhisheng gets off first.

The smell inside the car was overwhelmingly sour; he nearly threw up.

The constant bumping over two consecutive days left them feeling as if their bones were about to fall apart.

Especially last night, when the second half of the night was spent encountering a horde of zombies, preventing them from resting, and during the day, they traveled anxiously.

Despair and confusion filled everyone’s hearts.

The dry, cold air sapped away body heat.

Hoo-hoo—

After getting off the car, Zhou Zhisheng went to Liu Cunyi’s vehicle to discuss tomorrow’s direction.

Being tied to the same fate improved the relations between the two families significantly.

...

Since Zhou and Liu families left, the personnel within Western Alliance became much simpler.

In the Western Alliance, the Gan family is akin to the heavens, and Gan Xiong is the deity of the Gan family.

Gan Xiong reigns supreme in the Western Alliance.

The Zhou and Liu families have been gone for two or three days, and there has been no news from Old Zhuang and the others.

On this evening, a vehicle sped towards the exterior of the Western Alliance.

Zhuang Shaohua stood on the wall, observing the approaching vehicle with a telescope.

His father has been away for two or three days without any news, and he’s somewhat anxious and worried.

However, through the telescope, he didn’t see his father in the vehicle, only the others like Big Cat.

A few minutes later, Big Cat and the others arrived at the Western Alliance’s wall; Big Cat lowered the car window and shouted at Zhuang Shaohua on the wall, ”Xiao Zhuang, we’re back; we need to report something to Director Gan. Open the door quickly.”

While instructing someone to open the door, Zhuang Shaohua asked them, ”What about my father? Didn’t he come back?”

Big Cat hesitated for a moment and said, ”Old Zhuang is still there following the Zhou and Liu families; he told us to return first and report.”

”Oh.” Zhuang Shaohua’s mood dropped.

The door opens, and the vehicle enters.

Big Cat got out of the car and hurried towards Gan Xiong’s courtyard.

But was quickly stopped at the courtyard gate for a body check.

Upon meeting Gan Xiong, Big Cat quickly told him about what they saw in Yishi.

Gan Xiong remained silent.

After Big Cat finished recounting everything, he finally spoke, ”So, the Zhou and Liu families might no longer be in Yishi.”

”Yes, but in the eastern suburbs of Yishi, there’s a new power inside a distillery, seemingly not lacking in food supplies...”

Gan Xiong pondered for a moment and told him, ”Alright, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, go rest now.”

Big Cat hesitated, wanting to suggest that Gan Xiong send people to the distillery to check it out; if they aren’t strong, they could seize their food.

But he had already made the suggestion earlier.

Repeating it now might upset Gan Xiong.

Thus, he left.

After Big Cat left, Gan Long stopped and asked his father, ”Should we check it out?”

Gan Xiong gazed out the window, the sky already dark.

With a somber expression, he seemed lost in thought.

Only after a long time did he speak, ”How is the progress of your task to gather timber and stockpile wood nearby?”

Gan Long realized his father hadn’t answered his question, indicating he hadn’t made up his mind, so he replied, ”Two warehouses are stocked; I’m going out again tomorrow.”

Gan Xiong nodded slightly and said to Gan Long, ”Speed up; it’s getting colder by the day, and the base’s diesel supply is low. Solar power alone isn’t enough; we might have to resort to burning wood for warmth.”

”Understood.”

.....

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Construction of the greenhouse is in full swing.

With sturdy frames, even standing atop the greenhouse’s skeleton is possible.

Meanwhile, in Weng City, a group of people has arrived.

They carry bags and bundles, their faces wearing joyful smiles.

Second Uncle said to Ju Tianrui, ”Old Ju, Li Yu is busy right now, I’ll take you to the First Outer City. You brought everything, right?”

Ju Tianrui smiled and said, ”Everything’s here; I know they’re busy. Seems they’re working on the greenhouse, right?”

Second Uncle nodded slightly, watching Ju Tianrui and the others voluntarily handing over their firearms.

Old Lv and the others received their weapons and bullets, while Li Yuan verified and registered them.

It’s a rule at the base; neither inner nor outer city members may carry guns within the city, except certain personnel.

Including Li Yu, Li Gang, Li Tie, and those on duty at the time.

Thus, Ju Tianrui and his group handing over firearms was mandatory.

They naturally understood this, so they complied willingly.

Once all firearms and ammunition were handed over, Second Uncle walked to the First Outer City’s gate, signaling Li Zhengping on the wall to open it.

Leading Ju Tianrui and the others inside.

Upon entering, they immediately saw, not far from the residential building, some newly erected greenhouses rising from the farmland, where Old Qin and Xiao Qian were busy installing solar panels on the greenhouse frames.

Second Uncle saw Ju Tianrui looking in that direction and explained, ”It’s cold now, so everyone’s occupied with this task.”
