Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Er Hua stormed back to Jinmu Group in a fit of rage.

When she returned, the gap in the wall that had been blown open was already filled with dirt and construction debris.

Hundreds of people were piling up the dirt and embedding wooden and steel rods in it to block the night zombies.

The massive convoy returning to the compound alarmed Director Gao.

Director Gao, with a face full of excitement, ran out of the basement, having been too aggrieved these past days, now urgently needing a victory to stabilize morale.

Seeing the large return of the convoy, apparently with not many losses, her face lit up with a smile. It seemed Er Hua was right; that team wasn’t as powerful as imagined, with losses so minimal.

However, as the convoy got closer, she gradually sensed something amiss.

It wasn’t logical.

No matter how weak that team was, they couldn’t have failed to inflict some damage on the dispatched squad, right?

Soon, seeing the nervous expression on Er Hua’s face, her heart skipped a beat.

A hunch crept in: Could it be they hadn’t found that team?

Er Hua approached Director Gao, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, ”Director Gao, those people were too cunning. By the time we got there, they had already withdrawn. We... we didn’t...”

As she spoke, she saw Director Gao’s expression darken visibly, and thus dared not continue.

Indeed!

Director Gao’s suspicion was confirmed by Er Hua’s account.

She couldn’t help but grow furious, exclaiming angrily:

”So, you took all these people out and didn’t encounter that team? Then why did you come back? Wouldn’t it have been easier to shadow them when you first returned with the news? With that, would we have such wasted efforts?

Huh?!!”

Director Gao’s outburst was heard by everyone nearby, causing them to glance over.

But after a quick look, they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look further for fear of attracting trouble.

They knew that Director Gao in her rage was capable of anything.

The few minor leaders who went out with Er Hua initially considered complaining to Director Gao, saying something bad about Er Hua, but in this turn of events, it seemed unnecessary.

These few couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased inside.

They had long been displeased with this Er Hua, who had no real ability but was expert at brown-nosing Director Gao, who actually trusted her.

Er Hua hung her head in shame, trembling slightly, her mind in turmoil, momentarily unsure how to respond.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

This responsibility would definitely need to be shouldered by someone, and she had a perfect candidate in mind.

So she spoke, ”Director Gao, I originally wanted to stay over there and monitor those people, but Chen Wei insisted I come back. I told him to stay, so we could keep a close eye on them, but Chen Wei just wouldn’t allow it.”

If Chen Wei were here, he’d probably be upset to death.

The original truth was that Chen Wei wanted to stay, but Er Hua didn’t allow it.

But now she was shifting the blame, swapping roles.

An impressive blame shift!

The few minor leaders who heard this knew what kind of person Er Hua was at heart, and it was obvious she was shifting the blame onto Chen Wei.

They looked at Er Hua with some disdain and exchanged glances.

Reaching a silent understanding, they decided that if Chen Wei returned later, they would definitely stand by him. They couldn’t tolerate someone with no skills who shifted blame when problems arose and took credit for any success.

Upon hearing this, Director Gao didn’t immediately believe her words, furrowing her brows and calling to the side, ”Where’s Chen Wei? Have him come over.”

”Okay.”

A few subordinates immediately went to find Chen Wei but looked around and couldn’t find him.

Eventually, in the resources department, they heard Chen Wei took some supplies and, following Director Gao’s orders, went out on a special mission.

Subordinate: ”???”

They had stayed by Director Gao’s side all along, and as far as they knew, there was never such an order.

So, without further ado, they brought the person managing resources to Director Gao.

Director Gao looked at this big macaque from the resources department with a confused expression, impatiently asking her subordinates, ”What’s going on? I’m looking for Chen Wei, where is he? Why did you bring the big macaque?”

A subordinate spoke up, ”He said you gave Chen Wei a special task, and then he took some supplies and left.”

The big macaque from the resources department felt the atmosphere was a bit off, so he nodded repeatedly, saying:

”Yes, yes, that Chen Wei confidently said he was carrying out your task, so I gave him the supplies.”

”Task?” Director Gao asked with a frown.

She couldn’t recall ever assigning Chen Wei an external task; she clearly remembered Chen Wei had volunteered to repair the wall, didn’t he?

Suddenly, Director Gao had a bad premonition.

She fixed her gaze on the big macaque, asking, ”What did he take?”

The big macaque from the management department sensed trouble and regretted mentioning Chen Wei.

But now, with Director Gao questioning, he found himself in a bind.

He had no choice but to truthfully reply, ”Just some food and water, and some bullets, nothing else....”

”Are you an idiot? You believe whatever he says. In resource management, how many times have I told you that all access must have my approval.”
