Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

After Zhong Chuchu and the others entered the gate, they first underwent a full body check by the guards at the entrance before being allowed into Weng City.

From afar, they saw Uncle and the Second Uncle who had just arrived.

Glancing at the young man faintly surrounded in the center by a few people, Zhong Chuchu and the others carried curiosity in their eyes.

As they approached, Zhong Chuchu focused her gaze on Li Yu standing in the center.

The young man before her was definitely not over thirty years old, perhaps even in his early twenties, yet his demeanor naturally carried a calm yet domineering aura.

A chiselled jawline and a handsome face.

A short haircut, clean and neat, with deep eyes that seemed to peer directly into one’s heart.

Even former leader of the Stone Oil Village, Zhong Chuchu found herself a little unnerved under those sharp and profound eyes, lowering her head.

Beside her, the muscular woman, Shen Xiaoxiao, whispered, ”That guy is really handsome.”

”Xiaoxiao, don’t talk,” Zhong Chuchu turned to glare at Shen Xiaoxiao and whispered sternly.

Soon, they reached Li Yu and the others.

”Director Li.”

”City Lord.”

”Director Li.”

Ding Jiu, He Chao, and others greeted Li Yu one after another.

”Director Li, this is the team that escaped from northern Nanyang a few days ago, and this is Zhong Chuchu, the leader of that team,” He Chao said, pointing to Zhong Chuchu.

Upon hearing He Chao’s introduction, Zhong Chuchu lifted her head and said to Li Yu, ”Hello Director Li, I’ve heard Brother He mention you before, I didn’t expect you to be so young, truly accomplished for your age.”

Zhong Chuchu’s clear voice rang out, speaking generously.

While speaking, she looked at Li Yu seriously.

Li Yu watched her for a moment, not immediately replying.

The silence carried a slightly oppressive atmosphere.

Zhong Chuchu wasn’t sure what was wrong, she couldn’t read the young Director Li before her, her heart skipped a beat, wondering if she had overstepped and displeased Director Li.

”Hahaha, hello, hello. Welcome here, to Big Camphor Tree Base. How do you feel about it, still adapting, right?” Li Yu smiled, reaching out towards Zhong Chuchu for a handshake.

Zhong Chuchu hurriedly extended both hands to grip his.

”Thank you, Director Li, it feels great. When we first arrived here, we were quite startled, didn’t expect such a magnificent base in a place like this,” Zhong Chuchu sincerely said.

Indeed, she used the word ”magnificent.”

To build such tall walls, and what she witnessed in the past few days, the equipment inside was advanced, the system complete, and the base’s scale was vast.

Most crucially, she was deeply impressed by the system here.

She, who was once a leader of the Stone Oil Town, always held a rejecting attitude towards outsiders, because feeding themselves in that little place was challenging enough.

Big Camphor Tree Base’s system, to a certain extent, attracted the maximum population with minimal food and established a promotion system, which sought fairness in the midst of unfairness—a huge lure for many survivors.

People don’t fear constant toil, hunger, and hardship.

What people fear is that it’s always like this, and no matter the effort, there’s no meaning.

Li Yu looked at her, then glanced at the muscular woman beside her, and another middle-aged man with a goatee.

Smiling, he slowly opened his mouth, ”I like straightforward conversations, so I won’t say much else. I have a few questions to ask you.”

Zhong Chuchu hurriedly said, ”Please ask whatever you want.”

”I heard you originally had your own settlement, why did you come here? Tell me in detail,” Li Yu asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Chuchu’s face turned slightly dark; this was the topic she least wanted to revisit.

But now the young City Lord of the Big Camphor Tree Base asked, and she naturally had to reply.

With eyes carrying pain, she slowly began:

”Yes, we were originally in Nanyang; there was an oil field there. After Doomsday erupted, those of us living nearby gathered at the oil field and started to build, using barbed wire to block zombies.

That oil field was a bit far from the city, so there weren’t many zombies initially and we managed to hold on.

Later, using the oil from the oil field, we crafted muskets and Molotov Cocktails... we repelled countless zombie tides.

We grew our own crops, raised our own livestock, though we were often hungry, but at least lived peacefully, enduring the occasional zombie tide attack.”

Li Yu listened quietly, not interrupting.

”Until a month ago, suddenly a force emerged from somewhere, many called them the Motorcycle Gang. They were evil incarnate, looting and plundering different forces with their vehicles, and any settlement they targeted headed for destruction.

We were very tense, considered allying nearby settlements to resist the Motorcycle Gang, but we were always unclear about their numbers.

However, people’s hearts are different, forming alliances takes time but before we could ally, they set their sights on us, targeting our oil...
