Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 1157: Chapter 725: Visitors Arrive

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Outer City, Residential Building.

Third Uncle and Ant, among others, were happily eating pig’s head meat and drinking homemade rice wine.

Recalling the past, they clinked their glasses and laughed out loud.

After eating, Xiao Yong sat obediently to the side, listening to their conversation.

As the night grew deeper, Xiao Yong started to nod off, his head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice, eventually collapsing into Jackals’ arms.

Seeing Xiao Yong asleep, Jackals laid him down on a nearby bed.

This long-awaited meeting allowed them to say many things they had wanted to express before.

They talked about their own experiences over the years and some incidents after the apocalypse.

They drank until two in the morning.

Seeing the food and wine were finished,

Third Uncle stood up and said to everyone, ”Alright, that’s it for today. I should go rest, and you should sleep early too. We’ll drink together again when there’s time.”

Old Qin and the others all agreed.

Third Uncle looked at the still-sleeping Xiao Yong, a smile appearing on his lips, then he left the residential building.

As he walked out of the residential building, a gust of night wind struck him, refreshing his senses. Despite drinking half a catty of rice wine, he was only slightly tipsy at first, but felt sober by the end.

At this point, Third Uncle’s mind was very clear as he walked back to the Inner City, with street lamps illuminating the path.

Third Uncle looked at the two mountains in the pitch-black Inner City, observing the spotlights in the Observation Towers sweeping back and forth.

Slowly exhaling the wine’s aroma.

This day, he had long been looking forward to.

It felt like a resolution of sorts.

Returning to the Inner City, entering the villa area, he took a quick shower in the bathroom, then lay down to sleep.

......

The next day at dawn.

Big Camphor Tree Base, the entire base seemed to awaken from sleep.

Smoke rose in spirals, and on the sidewalks within the Inner and Outer City, small groups of people walked along.

An Ya got up very early, almost every morning she would first go to check the crops in the greenhouse.

They had already planted a new season’s crops, and now just needed to wait, though some vegetables had short growing cycles, so they harvested a batch every few days.

Li Tie, who was on duty at the wall yesterday, was now taking a break, returning to the base to catch up on sleep.

Li Yu still got up early, running and exercising around the mountains and forests.

The people in the Inner City were used to seeing him do his morning run, undeterred by wind or rain, except in extreme weather or after completing a mission.

Otherwise, Li Yu would usually get up in the morning to exercise.

His strong self-discipline also made everyone in the Inner City admire him.

........

In Chen City, Xiang Province, next to Xin City.

After a night’s rest, Gan Long and others were preparing to set off.

According to their plan discussed last night, they were heading to Gan City together.

Gan Long looked at Yao Zuo and Wayne, saying to the two of them, ”Let’s go!”

With the order, dozens of vehicles and over two hundred people started their slow drive towards Gan City.

Meanwhile, at Big Camphor Tree Base, Ju Tianrui, having finished breakfast, led ten people out of the base on electric vehicles.

This week, Ju Tianrui was on patrol duty outside, following a patrol route that centered around several outposts outside the base.

From the south, reaching Gan City, to the north, stretching to outposts several kilometers north of Big Camphor Tree Base.

Following a pre-determined route map, they headed first to the northern outpost of Big Camphor Tree Base.

On this day, the sun was bright.

The weather grew hotter each day. Since the torrential rain and floods had ended, it hadn’t rained once.

It was slightly cooler in the morning, but after eleven, the air turned stuffy and hot.

Entering April.

With Qingming Festival in a few days, it was unclear if it would rain then.

Besides Ju Tianrui and others going out from the base, many cooperative personnel, like birds and beasts, dispersed around eight or nine o’clock.

They were looking for building materials, while others were tasked with finding certain materials based on the latest tasks released by the base.

For example, a task was issued to search for high-power motors and rare earth minerals outside.

Gan City was originally rich in rare earth minerals, so there were also some mines in the surrounding area.

Big Camphor Tree Base had no outposts set up in Gan City’s downtown.

After all, as the second-largest city in Gansheng, Gan City had a large population, and amidst the apocalypse, the number of zombies in its center was also quite high.

Therefore, the outpost where Deng Ben and his team were stationed was near an unknown small town beside a highway leading to Xin City, north of Gan City.

As usual, Deng Ben was up early.

Standing on the rooftop of a ten-story building, he took a telescope to observe the surroundings, focusing on the situation on the highway.

After completing the checks, he operated a drone for a patrol in the sky.

Once the routine inspections were complete, Deng Ben began eating breakfast.

An extra staff member on duty with him said, ”Brother Deng, what’s the Inner City like? Could you tell us about it?”

Other nearby people chimed in, ”Yeah, Brother Deng, we’ve only been to the Outer City and never seen what the Inner City is like.”
