Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Uh, Director Li, am I speaking too much and making it too complicated? Maybe I should just get to the point. I’m worried you might be very busy.”

Feeling like she was speaking too slowly, Zhong Chuchu said nervously.

Li Yu shook his head and said, ”No, keep talking, no rush, it’s good to explain it in detail.”

Zhong Chuchu relaxed and continued:

”Originally, that day, they came looking for us, ready to attack our settlement, but just on that day, it rained, and that rain saved our lives; they retreated.

After the rain, we made all kinds of preparations, buried a lot of incendiaries near the small village, but... there were too many of them, and they were so crazy, like demons, unafraid of death.

Their leader wore a demon mask, his hair was white, and I heard people call him Old Ghost.”

”Old Ghost?” Li Yu slightly frowned and asked.

”Yes, they called him Old Ghost. I heard that’s what they called him, but on that day, that Old Ghost didn’t do anything himself; he just sat in the car watching his men attack.

That day, a man named Guan Zhongjin led a motorcycle gang, an extremely vicious man who didn’t directly send those people to charge.

Instead, he gathered some vehicles nearby, then fixed the throttles wide open, aiming them at our base, charging straight over and breaking through our protective fence.

Among them, they got one heavy truck loaded with a load of dirt, drove it at the top speed, and smashed our gate.

All the preparations we had made before were disrupted....”

Zhong Chuchu’s face was pained, pained that she hadn’t done enough to prevent this, and pained by the loss of her friends.

But while she was immersed in her grief, no one noticed Li Yu’s expression was a bit off.

The moment Zhong Chuchu mentioned the name ”Guan Zhongjin.”

His mind exploded with a boom.

Originally in a good and somewhat relaxed mood, hearing that name brought back memories of his past life.

When he was being devoured by zombies, his hatred for Guan Zhongjin peaked.

And now, reborn.

There was still no news about Guan Zhongjin.

In this doomsday, traveling was inconvenient, searching for an enemy was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Guan Zhongjin, this person had once become Li Yu’s heart demon, sometimes sparking his desire to kill, all because of this man.

Later, for the sake of family and friends, for the base, he tried to convince himself.

After all, if he could live well in this doomsday, what’s the point, why insist on searching the world over for Guan Zhongjin.

Moreover, searching for this Guan Zhongjin takes time and effort; he might get bitten by zombies on the way.

He had once tried to convince himself, having seen some motivational words.

For example: If a dog bites you, do you need to bite it back?

Do not become angry because of others’ mistakes because that is punishment for yourself.

Learn to be tolerant, learn to reconcile with yourself, forgive yourself.

....

Such thoughts, Li Yu also thought of convincing himself.

But that fire burned hotter and hotter.

Damn it, why should I convince myself not to be angry when others beat me, kill me, harm me, and I have to endure it!

What kind of bullshit logic is that?

Screw it!

If a dog bites you, just slaughter the dog and stew it!

At that moment, Li Yu realized he no longer forced himself to let go.

This grudge, he couldn’t let go.

If he didn’t run into him, fine,

but if he ever found Guan Zhongjin, this grudge must be avenged!

........

Li Yu gritted his teeth, his face slightly red, his eyes immediately filled with blood, bloodshot.

He tried to control his tone and spoke: ”That man’s name is Guan Zhongjin?”

Zhong Chuchu nodded and seriously said, ”Yes, that’s Guan Zhongjin. He had earrings in his ear, and a bloody tear tattoo on his forehead.”

Suddenly, she noticed Li Yu’s expression seemed like he was about to eat her, his blood-red eyes full of brutal violence and killing intent.

Swallowing nervously, she asked, ”Li, Director Li, is there, is there something wrong? Do you know this person?”

Li Yu frowned; Zhong Chuchu’s description of Guan Zhongjin’s appearance was somewhat different from his memory, could it be a person with the same name?

He didn’t directly answer Zhong Chuchu’s question but stared at her and asked, ”Does this person have a red birthmark on the tip of his nose?”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Chuchu was astonished and said, ”Yes, he does, a red birthmark, but not just on the tip of his nose, the whole nose is a red birthmark, extending to the center of his brow and connecting with the bloody tear tattoo on his forehead.”

When Li Yu asked this, Zhong Chuchu, being smart, naturally knew Li Yu knew Guan Zhongjin, but she didn’t ask anymore to confirm if Li Yu knew him.

Because Li Yu didn’t answer earlier, which means he didn’t want to answer.

It would be too clueless to ask questions people didn’t want to answer, especially now when she needed a favor.

Therefore, she intentionally didn’t inquire further.

Instead, she quietly observed Li Yu’s expression, as if trying to deduce more information from it.

But by this time, Li Yu had already regained his calm expression, and Zhong Chuchu couldn’t read anything from it.

From Zhong Chuchu’s answers, he confirmed that this person must be Guan Zhongjin.

He had just said the tip of the nose, not the entire nose.

But Zhong Chuchu corrected him, pointing out it was the entire nose, matching Li Yu’s memory of Guan Zhongjin’s appearance.

”Continue speaking,” Li Yu said.

Zhong Chuchu calmed herself and continued: ”Later, they used this method to break down our walls and crash through our bus-made gate.

Then they began crazily slaughtering our residents, we, we were unable to resist, and out of desperation, we could only escape.

But they pursued relentlessly, chasing us all the way, it was only because a few elders in our group strongly insisted to stay behind to block the motorcycle gang’s pursuit.

Otherwise, none of us would probably have survived....

At this point, neither Zhong Chuchu, Shen Xiaoxiao, nor the bearded man behind them could hold back their grief.

They hadn’t expected that in the end, it was the elders of their settlement who saved them.

These elders drove cars and crashed them into the motorcycle gang on the road, allowing them to escape.

When Zhong Chuchu spoke of this, her eyes were already filled with tears, but she held back from crying; she was the leader of their team and couldn’t cry.

She lifted her head, took several deep breaths to suppress her emotions, and slowly exhaled.

She began again: ”Later, we crossed Long River Bridge, going south all the way, with no one in sight on the road, later, at the border of Hubei Province and Gansheng, we met a Taoist, a remarkable person.

He was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, saying he was looking for his senior brother. He was pretty nice, telling us we could keep heading south, maybe find a suitable place to stay in Gan City.

So we followed his advice, heading south until we arrived here.

Later on, Brother He and the others found us, and you know the rest.”

Li Yu let out a long sigh and casually asked, ”A Taoist?”

”Yes, he looked quite strange, but we felt he should be a good person.

We asked him why not head south; he said he was looking for his senior brother. We asked where his brother was, and he said in the Northwest.

Then we went separate ways.”

Li Yu found it curious; according to Zhong Chuchu, the Taoist had guided them, which indicated he must know of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

But he didn’t mention the name Big Camphor Tree Base, just said Gan City, maybe the Taoist wasn’t very familiar with the Big Camphor Tree Base.

The border of Hubei and Gansheng is around Poyang Lake area.

Didn’t Third Uncle’s teammate Xu Chengcai say something? He seemed to have passed by Dragon Tiger Mountain.

This is something that can wait for Uncle Xu’s return; he can ask him if he met a Taoist.
