Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 1183: Chapter 734: Qingming Rain Arrives, Advancing on the Western Alliance

Early next morning, Yutong clutched her backside and hastily scrambled up.

With a coy complaint, she said, ”I’m never giving you a massage again next time, in the end, I’m the one who gets hurt.”

She rose to stand but hadn’t expected her legs to be weak, almost collapsing onto the bed.

Li Yu quickly reached out to catch her.

But Yutong, like a startled little rabbit, hurriedly avoided him, swiftly dressed, and left.

Before closing the door, she shot Li Yu a meaningful glare.

Her hair was disheveled, cheeks flushed, and the tearing pain from her lower body reminded her of last night’s absurdity.

With her head down, she hurried away, fearing others might notice her abnormality.

......

Inside the room, Li Yu lay lazily on the bed.

He hadn’t slept all night yesterday.

Now finally he felt a bit fatigued and dozed off in a daze.

By the time he woke up, it was already noon.

After getting up, he took a shower and went to the canteen to eat.

However, on his way to the canteen, he did not see the sun; it was cloudy.

Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival.

It seems it will either rain today or tomorrow.

Since the previous torrential flood, it hasn’t rained for a month and a half.

He couldn’t predict how heavy this rain would be, so he took out the intercom to contact He Chao.

”He Chao, it’s Li Yu. Quickly notify everyone stationed outside to withdraw; it looks like it’s going to rain.”

He Chao replied somewhat awkwardly, ”Director Li, I actually wanted to mention it this morning, but you seemed busy, and Second Uncle has already given orders; Deng Ben and the others are almost at the base now.”

Li Yu scratched his head in resignation.

But as long as the people return, that’s good, so he responded, ”Alright, keep an eye on the Third Outer City too, tell those transporting personnel not to go out now; stay near the Big Camphor Tree Base for now. If there’s a sign of heavy rain, let them hurry into the Outer City to shelter.”

”Uh, Second Uncle has also instructed that.” He Chao said.

”Mm.” Li Yu fell silent for a moment.

It’s a relief to have Second Uncle and the others at the base.

At least some things don’t need his worry; they can think and resolve them.

He asked about the rainproof measures for building materials, and He Chao replied that everything had been settled in the morning.

Additionally, the construction at the Third Outer City, if it rains, they will pause.

Li Yu felt assured upon hearing this and relaxedly went to the canteen for food.

Just as he was eating, Second Uncle walked in from outside.

”Xiao Yu, this morning I noticed it might rain, and He Chao suggested a few things; I haven’t had the chance to tell you. For those currently stationed outside...” Second Uncle was about to discuss the morning’s actions with Li Yu.

Li Yu interrupted, ”He Chao has already mentioned it.”

Second Uncle, who was in the middle of speaking, stopped when he heard this and said to Li Yu, ”Alright, since you know, I won’t need to say more. Xiao Yu, I was going to find you in the morning, but your mom told me you were still sleeping, so I didn’t disturb you.

The past few days, you all were indeed exhausted from dealing with the Western Alliance people first and then resisting the zombies.

Not to mention, Dapao is still sleeping now.”

Li Yu felt somewhat embarrassed at Second Uncle’s words.

So he changed the topic, saying to Second Uncle, ”Second Uncle, there should be a weekly meeting today, let’s talk about dealing with the Western Alliance headquarters at three in the afternoon.”

Second Uncle pondered a moment, then said to Li Yu, ”You want to solve all the problems once and for all.”

”Yes, according to the interrogation results from Dapao, the Western Alliance’s strength has weakened significantly now, strike while they’re down.

I don’t want Western Alliance people coming over later, better to take the offensive than to passively defend.” Cold glints flashed in Li Yu’s eyes.

Second Uncle hesitated and said, ”But considering the long distance, manpower, and resources, these concerns still exist.”

Li Yu shook his head, recalling that item he took to deal with the Western Alliance intruders but didn’t use two days ago.

Confidently, he said, ”Second Uncle, this time, we don’t need many people to go over; remember the enhanced version of the Zombie Attractant developed by Ma Di and Bai Jie?”

”Are you saying?” Second Uncle gasped in shock.

Last time during the flood, it was only tested briefly.

The power was astounding.

Later, it was sealed deep in an underground warehouse, accessible only by Li Yu.

The zombie enhancing potion was extremely difficult to refine, Ma Di and Bai Jie spent several weeks to produce just two small bottles.

In the last flood, they used one bottle for testing.

Without Li Yu’s permission, Ma Di and Bai Jie weren’t allowed to refine it.

A month ago, with Li Yu’s approval, they then refined two more small bottles.

Currently, there are three bottles of Zombie Attraction Potion in stock.

Second Uncle frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, ”This requires careful planning; using this thing carelessly can easily backfire.”

Li Yu nodded, ”Naturally, it needs careful planning.”

Boom——

Just as Li Yu finished speaking, a thunder suddenly struck in the sky.

A gust of wind swept through.

”Seems like it’s going to rain.” Second Uncle stood up abruptly, said to Li Yu, ”I’ll go recall those people from the Third Outer City construction site.”

Li Yu quickly finished his meal.

He also stood up, ”Let’s go, I’ll go with you.”

The two hurriedly headed towards the walls while using the intercom to arrange the evacuation of the Third Outer City construction site personnel.

Just as they arrived at the walls, they saw Li Haoran opening the gate.

It was the return of Aguang, Deng Ben, and others stationed outside.

Li Yu felt a bit relieved seeing them return; it’s good they’ve got back.

The sky, originally dark and cloudy, was filled with dragonflies flying everywhere.

”Have the cooperative personnel and extra staff quickly enter the Outer City!” Li Yu decisively ordered upon seeing this.

Ants moving house, snakes crossing the path, dragonflies flying — heavy rain is imminent.

After receiving Li Yu’s orders, He Chao quickly contacted the various groups to have them quickly enter the First Outer City.

These people valued their lives greatly, and even before Big Camphor Tree Base was organized, they had already brought food and luggage when they noticed something off with the weather. Some had arrived outside Big Camphor Tree Base.

The main gate was open at the time.

Old Lv and about twenty other people were at the entrance, organizing people into lines for entry, inspecting luggage, and collecting weapons and similar items.

Then Li Hang and the others performed an additional inspection at the gate of the Outer City.

This made the inspection process much faster.

Very quickly.

At the entrance of Big Camphor Tree Base, two long lines formed.

On the wall, Li Yu saw Bai Wenyang and the others carrying Kuizi and Xiao Cui, queued up.

Speaking of which, the reward hadn’t been announced to them yet.

Just as well, all these Cooperative Personnel and Extra Staff had gathered, it was a good opportunity to announce this news.

This would also uplift the spirits of the cooperative personnel.

Subsequently, the side gate next to the main gate was also opened.

Ding Jiu, Xiao Liu, and others came in one by one.

Everything was busy yet orderly.

The sky was densely clouded.

A stifling air lingered.

The period before the heavy rain was the most stifling.

Despite the circumstances, numerous cooperative personnel and extra staff dared not cut the line or make a commotion.

Everyone knew that the sooner they entered, the safer they would be.

Yet if someone caused trouble, it would slow down the entry process.

Besides, Big Camphor Tree Base had extremely strict punishments for those who caused trouble.

Thus, they queued up very orderly.

Over two thousand people temporarily stored their belongings in Weng City to improve efficiency and went through the second inspection without any items before entering the First Outer City.

Then Old Lv and the others conducted a thorough inspection and collectively transported their belongings into the First Outer City.

This undoubtedly greatly improved efficiency.

So, in less than ten minutes, almost half the people had passed the inspection and entered the First Outer City.

By this time, the sky had darkened.

Dark clouds pressed upon the city.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The spotlights on Big Camphor Tree Base’s wall all turned on, brightly illuminating the area outside the wall.

Ju Tianrui was outside the wall, observing the situation beyond the forest.

”Director Li, the personnel constructing in the Third Outer City have all been withdrawn,” He Chao reported breathlessly to Li Yu.

”Good, I estimate this side will be done soon as well.” Li Yu said, looking at the remaining less than a third of the crowd outside.

For these cooperative personnel and extra staff, there were no spare rooms in the First Outer City for them.

The number was too large.

So they still had to stay in greenhouses.

Even though it was stifling now, there was no power shortage at the base, so air conditioning and ventilation were always on.

Moreover, the greenhouses offered the best value for shelter.

They could shield from rain and wind and provide insulation from heat and cold.

Although a bit crowded inside, at least they were safe from harm.

The only difference was, only over two hundred extra staff shared one greenhouse.

But over two thousand cooperative personnel also shared one greenhouse.

The same size, tenfold population difference.

Thus, the population density and comfort level were naturally different inside.

Soon, ten minutes later, a large number of cooperative personnel and extra staff had all entered the First Outer City.

Looking at those cooperative personnel still outside, Li Yu mentioned rewarding Kuizi and Xiao Cui to Second Uncle and Uncle.

They agreed now was a great time to announce it.

Thus, Li Yu had Li Tie bring food and two bottles of wine.

He walked into the First Outer City.

He Chao also received the message from Li Yu and knew what Li Yu intended to do.

So he banged on an iron basin, stood on high ground, and shouted to the numerous cooperative personnel and extra staff, ”Everyone, quiet down. The City Lord has something to say.”

Li Yu was a bit puzzled by this title.

Weren’t they calling me Director Li before?

How did the title of City Lord start, and why are more people calling me that?

He stood in the center of the First Outer City, walking up to the highest steps under the spotlights.

”Perhaps you’ve all heard, some days ago, I warned everyone to beware of strangers. Now I’ll tell you, it was people from the Western Alliance causing trouble for us.”

Boom~

Numerous cooperative personnel began discussing among themselves.

”They still dared to mess with our Big Camphor Tree Base, they must have a death wish.”

”Your news is too outdated. I heard that the people from the Western Alliance who came over were all killed.”

”Really? How come I didn’t know?”

”Haha, what do you even know?”

”Stop talking, listen carefully to what the City Lord says.”

.......

Li Yu continued, ”A few days ago, people from the Western Alliance sneaked into Gan City and encountered Bai Wenyang’s group. Three were captured, one was killed on the spot, leaving two alive.”

There were many cooperative personnel, and without networks, even though Kuizi and Xiao Cui had returned, many still didn’t know what had happened.
