Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Just as Li Gang was about to turn and fetch the C4 bomb, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and slowly turned his head to look down.

”Brother, did you hear a sound just now?” Li Gang said somewhat uncertainly.

Li Yu smiled faintly, not answering his question, instead shouting downwards, ”Come up!”

Gan Xiong was on the stairs, he heard Li Yu’s voice, and his heart trembled a bit, but he saw the gap blown open between the circular steel plate and the concrete above, as well as the cracks in the underground walls.

If he followed what the two people above said and threw down another two kilograms of C4 bomb, he might just bury himself alive.

Grinding his teeth, he couldn’t let himself die so humiliated; even if he had to die, he wanted to die with dignity.

Hoo—

He took a deep breath, and his body, which had been trembling, also stopped shaking.

The tightly furrowed brows and clamped lips eased as well.

He was ready to die, even if he had to die, he’d maintain enough poise.

Slowly unlocking the safety pin, the circular steel door, equipped with a hydraulic device, didn’t require much force to push open the steel plate.

Gan Xiong slowly walked out, his white hair appearing somewhat disheveled, forming a drastic contrast with his blood-red eyes.

Li Yu and Li Gang stood three meters away from him, holding rifles pointed at him, quietly observing him.

Glancing up and down, they noticed that Gan Xiong wasn’t holding a weapon.

”Gan Xiong, finally found you,” Li Yu said expressionlessly and indifferently.

Gan Xiong glanced at the two and finally focused on Li Yu, scanning him up and down before slowly speaking, ”Why?”

This single word ”why” left Li Yu silent for a while.

He knew what Gan Xiong was asking, why target the Western Alliance, why clear out the Orange Continent.

Gan Xiong’s question put Li Yu into memories and reflections.

It seemed to have unwrapping unknowingly, stepping into this path.

If Gan Gaojie hadn’t injured people from the Big Camphor Tree Base, Li Yu wouldn’t have killed Gan Gaojie, wouldn’t have met Xiao Jun and them, and wouldn’t have exposed some dealings of the Western Alliance to Ma Di and Xiao Jun.

In times of peace, in the face of less boundary-crossing bullying, tolerating it was fine, and if worse came to worst, you could report to the police or something.

Because any rebuttal has consequences!

Yet during this Doomsday, boundless by law..... naturally, once becoming enemies, you destroy them ruthlessly, as Li Yu was very afraid of trouble.

So, starting from the day Gan Gaojie acted brashly and broke Yu Lei’s leg, it was destined for the Western Alliance today’s fate.

Li Yu thought about many things in that instant.

But he didn’t answer Gan Xiong’s question, not because he feared revealing anything; now that Gan Xiong was in their hands, soon to die, he didn’t fear revealing any information.

It just purely felt tedious to explain, having to communicate back and forth seemed exhausting.

Li Yu didn’t answer him; he turned his head toward the outside and shouted, ”Dapao, come over and take someone.”

”Why? You haven’t answered my question,” Gan Xiong stared at Li Yu with blood-red eyes, confused about the origin of all this, not understanding why these people ran far just to confront him.

Dapao ran inside and saw Gan Xiong, somewhat surprised to have truly found someone here.

Thus he went forward trying to grip Gan Xiong’s arm, intending to pull him outside.

”Why?” Gan Xiong angrily tried to break free, but his age couldn’t escape Dapao’s grasp.

”Huh, what why?” Dapao was baffled; he sort of figured out who this person was upon entering.

Gan Xiong looked at Li Yu, then glanced at Dapao, helplessly pulled outside.

As they left, the room quickly returned to silence.

Only the diminishing sound from outside was heard:

”You’re from Gan City, aren’t you? You killed Gan Shang and them, didn’t you? Why? Why target us?” Gan Xiong’s eyes bloodshot and looked ravenously.

”Uh... speaking of which, it started with someone named Gan Gaojie breaking our people’s legs,” Dapao replied.

”That’s not enough to annihilate Orange Continent, then chase us so far to target us, right?” Gan Xiong gritted his teeth, acknowledging his grandson was indeed spoiled into arrogance, but it wasn’t crime needing death.

”......” Dapao was momentarily speechless.

”Oh, let’s not discuss this. Do you have any hidden warehouses or such around here? Speak honestly, huh,” Dapao politely said, noticing Gan Xiong’s older age, thus being a bit courteous.

......

Li Yu, hearing this, felt indeed tedious.

Explanations are troublesome, especially since there’s no need to elaborate.

Truly wondered about past TV movies, no matter if it’s protagonists or antagonists avenging, always explaining back and forth, arguing.

Why bother?

Click!

Li Yu turned on the headlamp and said to Li Gang, ”Let’s go down and check.”

To be honest, he was quite looking forward to it because the secret room he’d built at the Big Camphor Tree Base held some rather precious things relevant in a Doomsday environment.

Thud thud thud!

He slowly descended the stairs, finding it bright below.

Before he stepped onto the underground first floor, he inhaled sharply.
