Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Outside the Fifth Satellite City.

Uncle received the message from Guo Peng and learned that the group from the Southwest had already surrounded the Satellite City.

He immediately said to He Chao, ”Get ready to move. Those people have started protesting, it’s time for us to act.”

He Chao got in the vehicle at once, started the engine, and headed toward the Satellite City.

On the other side.

Outside the Satellite City.

A dense, dark mass of people had gathered outside the Satellite City.

Qiu Yuanze was inconspicuous in the crowd, his hand hovering casually at his waist, where a gun was tucked.

But the gun was wrapped under his clothes, so nothing could be seen from the outside.

In the noisy crowd, he suddenly shouted:

”Let us in, we want fairness!”

As soon as he spoke, the people around him echoed one after another.

”Let us in, let us in!”

A man at the very front, face twisted with resentment, shouted up at Gongsun Jing and the others on the wall:

”Why won’t you people from Big Camphor Tree Base let us in? Open the gate, open it!”

Gongsun Jing’s eyes lowered slightly; the look she gave that man was filled with killing intent.

But she ignored him and instead turned sideways to a team member beside her, saying, ”Have everyone get ready. Once the Defense Director arrives, we move.”

”But...” The team member standing next to her hesitated and said:

”What about those Cooperative Personnel watching from the sidelines?”

”Ignore them. Bullets don’t have eyes. If they get themselves killed, they’ve only got themselves to blame for crowding in to watch the show.” Gongsun Jing’s gaze was frighteningly cold.

Hearing Gongsun Jing talk like that, the team member was secretly shocked.

He thought to himself:

No wonder Director Li and the external Combat Battalion Captain both praised her. Truly ruthless and decisive.

Meanwhile, inside the Satellite City.

Guo Peng had ten men with him, quietly forming a loose encirclement around those Cooperative Personnel inside the city.

The Defense Director had given them the list that morning, so Guo Peng and the others knew there were traitors inside the Satellite City as well.

Right now they knew the list contained Old Ma, Old Song and a few others, but they weren’t sure if there were more.

So Guo Peng simply treated all Cooperative Personnel who had come in recently and showed up out on the open ground to watch the commotion as people who would join this riot.

Better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one slip away.

At the same time.

Old Bi, Lao Zhou and sixty others, hidden in the central building of the Satellite City, already had rounds chambered and were ready to charge out through the main gate at any moment.

The operational directive this time was very simple.

Anyone who joined the riot.

One word: kill.

Outside the Satellite City.

It was already a complete mess.

Qiu Yuanze and the others were scattered through the crowd, constantly stoking the flames, turning what had originally just been a protest into something with a whiff of rebellion.

”Those people from Big Camphor Tree Base clearly have food, but they insist on squeezing us dry, handing out just a tiny bit of rations while making us risk our lives. What kind of justice is that?!”

”That’s right, my brother got hurt a few days ago and didn’t get a single bit of compensation. I demand you compensate me, right now, immediately!”

As soon as those words came out.

It was as if everyone had bitter grievances they’d never been able to voice.

They’d come all this way, only to find there was discrimination here too—those people could go in, while they themselves had to huddle outside the Satellite City, frightened and on edge.

”Overthrow them, we’ll manage ourselves.”

”Yeah, overthrow Big Camphor Tree Base, and all the food will be ours!”

The crowd surged with excitement.

A person alone can be very rational.

But once thrown into a crowd, without even realizing it they can be led astray by some people with an agenda.

Ambition took root, turning a lot of people who had originally just come to watch the fun, to shout a couple of slogans.

Into people whose emotions spiked the moment they heard that if they toppled Big Camphor Tree Base, they could get food.

Worked up.

Yeah!

As long as they toppled Big Camphor Tree Base, wouldn’t they get food? No more need to do those bullshit, life-risking missions.

”Topple Big Camphor Tree Base! Divide the food!”

Qiu Yuanze lowered his head and shouted in the crowd again.

After shouting, he shifted his steps, moving off to another spot.

He had no intention of being noticed by the people up on the wall.

More and more people were getting fired up, loudly shouting slogans about toppling Big Camphor Tree Base.

In the distance.

Dai Jiusheng, who had come from the Southwest after leaving the army, saw the scene and shook his head.

Then he climbed onto his motorcycle and drove off in the direction opposite the Satellite City.

He was different from these people—he had registered at Big Camphor Tree Base.

He’d even been to Big Camphor Tree Base Headquarters. He had some understanding of Big Camphor Tree Base.

Because of his veteran status, and because he’d met Ju Tianrui and the others on the road and spoken with them, once he arrived at Big Camphor Tree Base, Second Uncle and the others had taken quite a liking to him.

These days he’d carried out a few missions and exchanged them for a small amount of food. Not much, but at least he wouldn’t starve.

Before he came to Big Camphor Tree Base, when he’d run into Ju Tianrui and the others, he’d even thought they were Government people.

Naturally, he felt a sense of camaraderie toward people from the armed forces.

More importantly, he knew Big Camphor Tree Base was strong—after all, they had so many infantry fighting vehicles and missile carriers.

In his view, with so many people deployed out from Big Camphor Tree Base, the main force must have been sent away.

Which meant Big Camphor Tree Base itself had to be hollowed out right now.

This riot would definitely be trouble for Big Camphor Tree Base.

He needed to hurry and ride over to inform the people in the Fourth Satellite City about the riot here, so they could rush over to provide support.
