Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

After several collisions, the windshield was almost knocked open.”

”Did it have any distinctive features?” Li Yu asked.

Guo Peng was somewhat regretful at this moment, regretting why he hadn’t brought that zombie back at the time. But he was too nervous at the moment, coupled with concerns that there might be other similar zombies in the vicinity, he didn’t dare to get out of the car.

”Bald, not a single hair on its body, skin as white as snow, its teeth longer than ordinary zombies, and it looked even stronger.....”

Guo Peng described everything he saw clearly to Li Yu, bit by bit.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu’s eyes flickered with contemplation. He nodded slightly, thinking to himself: How could it be so fast? Didn’t they blow up all the main roads in the East? How could there still be? Even if it climbed over the mountains and forests, it shouldn’t be this fast.....

He spoke up: ”Alright, I understand. What about afterward? Did you encounter such zombies again?”

”No, but we did encounter the ordinary kind of zombies on the road, and it hasn’t even started raining yet. There were already more zombies outside.” Guo Peng said, simultaneously glancing at the clock hanging on the wall. It was still not eleven in the morning.

Normally around this time, the sunlight outside would be the brightest, and you would hardly see any zombies on the road, but now, there were already several zombies just in the corridor.

”Hmm, it’s related to the weather. You’ve worked hard, go and rest.” Li Yu said.

”Okay.” Guo Peng stood up.

Li Yu stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup to drink, suddenly catching a glimpse of the map of Gansheng on the wall.

His eyes brightened.

Immediately addressed Guo Peng, who was about to leave: ”Wait.”

”Uh... ah?” Guo Peng stopped in his tracks, turned around, and came back.

Li Yu rose, walked to the wall of the duty room, examined it for a moment, pointed to the approximate area of Panlong Road in Xixiang, and asked: ”Is it here?”

Guo Peng leaned over, pointed with his finger to a more precise location.

”Here!”

Li Yu looked at the location he pointed to, stroking the stubble on his chin.

Observing the terrain.

Suddenly, he noticed that right next to the location Guo Peng pointed to was Gongshui.

Alarm bells rang in his mind.

Hurriedly tracing the river upstream, his hand sliding continuously on the map.

Kept sliding until he reached the foot of the mountains west of Wuyi Mountain.

The junction of Gansheng and Min Province is Wuyi Mountain.

Li Yu formed a hypothesis in his mind.

Then he carefully examined the source of Gongshui and discovered the Wuyi Mountain Range, near the southwestern fairy’s position, there was a relatively low gap.

Li Yu picked up a pencil and circled it.

Then marked the river.

While making some notations on it.

Thinking to himself:

Min Province is coastal, with many nuclear power stations destroyed in typhoons, inevitably affecting some zombies to undergo unpredictable changes.

The vast majority of zombies close to nuclear waste directly became zombies emitting nuclear radiation, lethal to the touch.

But some zombies did not get too close, yet under prolonged radiation, they underwent some mutations.

This is Li Yu’s hypothesis.

Even in his past life, limited by his perspective as a low-ranking survivor, he didn’t know much.

The changes in zombies are said by some to be related to nuclear radiation, after all, those zombies emitting light from nuclear radiation are proof.

Some say it’s related to the continuous heavy rain.

Opinions vary.

But the only certainty is that these zombies are all troublesome.

Among them, the most profound impact comes from the nuclear-radiation zombies, because these zombies are disgusting, utterly untouchable.

If during the killing of such zombies, the juices flying off the zombies were to splash onto someone’s body, it would also lead to organ failure and eventual death.

”City Lord, are you suspecting these zombies were washed down by Gongshui?” Guo Peng saw Li Yu making marks on the map, and it wasn’t hard to guess.

”Hmm, it’s possible. Well, you go and rest now, it’s safe inside the base.” Li Yu said to him.

Guo Peng nodded, then cupped his hands towards Li Yu, and walked outside.

But he looked back every few steps, walking slowly, seemingly wondering if Li Yu might call him back.

However, even when he reached the doorway, Li Yu continued to fix his gaze on the map on the wall, frowning in deep thought.

Thus, Guo Peng closed the door.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

He tucked his neck in and lifted his collar while gazing at the dark woods beyond the walls and that searchlight, sweeping back and forth in the dim environment.

No one was operating that searchlight nearby, which puzzled Guo Peng, prompting him to take a closer look.

”Hey! It’s fully automatic now, when did it get upgraded, amazing.” Guo Peng exclaimed in admiration.

He saw that around the large lampshade of the searchlight, numerous tiny mosquitoes were flying densely.

Shaking his head, he planned to head down from the wall.

Upon reaching the base of the wall, he noticed a man standing on top of it.

”He An, are you on duty?”

”Old Guo, why didn’t I see you just now?” He An, who was from WJ, asked with a smile.

Guo Peng replied: ”Director Li was looking for me. I just came out from the duty room.”

”Oh, I see. I just took over from Song Qi for duty here, how’s everything at the Fifth Satellite City?”

”Hmm..... how to put it, it’s still more comfortable staying in the Outer City, outside is a bunch of problems, driving me crazy; Director Li said earlier about rotating posts, it’s been over two months and no one’s come to replace me.....”

He An chuckled and said: ”You’re not aware, I often see Director Li, he’s been too busy lately, maybe he’ll schedule it for you once he’s free.”

Guo Peng nodded as if remembering something, pointed at the searchlight not far away, and asked: ”I remember that thing used to be cranked by hand, right? How did it get automated, who did it?”

He An looked toward the searchlight and replied: ”What’s this? Not just that, many other things have been upgraded recently as well.

These upgrades were tinkered with by the folks at the newly founded mechanical repair factory.

By the way, do you know about the group of professors and top students Director Li brought back from the Southwest?”

Guo Peng nodded and said: ”I’ve heard Xiao Hu and the others mention it, but I haven’t seen them. They seemed to have been brought back by helicopter, right? Such specifications and treatment.”

He An said: ”Yeah, and I must say, this group indeed knows their stuff. Some of their innovative suggestions proved useful after practical implementation, like this searchlight, it was developed by someone among them called Xue Zhihua.”

Guo Peng marveled, then saw Li Tie coming out from the duty room behind.

Promptly said to He An: ”You’re busy, I’ll head down first.”

”Mm.”

He An watched Guo Peng descend from the wall.

Then tightened his scarf and zipped his coat all the way up.

In the past couple of days, it’s been getting colder.

......

The wind kept blowing, the sky remained gray.

Seven hours later.

It was evening.

The sky turned completely dark, the air grew increasingly oppressive.

The sky was so low, people standing on the walls seemed like they could reach out and touch it.

It pressed down and pressed down.

Like a volcanic eruption, causing anxiety and fear, yet feeling powerless, for this was the sky.

Time slowly passed.

In a blink of an eye.

It was 1:30 a.m. on the 28th.

The dark sky, pitch black.

The night filled people with trepidation.

Suddenly!

Crash!

Rumble!

The entire sky was filled with the sound of thunder, making ears numb.

Sawtooth-shaped lightning frequently clashed with the sky, striking Shan Feng.

Chaos reigned!

Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed.

The whole sky seemed to catch fire, lightning and thunder were relentless,

the sky became suddenly bright, yet it was a frightening brightness.

It felt like a mass was accumulating in the heart, causing the heart to swell to an explosive size.

At the moment the thunder came, the heart, swollen to its limit, developed cracks.

The plants outside seemed restless, swaying, panic-stricken.

The personnel on duty on the walls were struggling to patrol back and forth, tightly gripping the wall parapets.

Rumble!

Thunder boomed.

Thunder roared deafeningly, people were apprehensive.

....

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, clouds were dense, low.

Mixed with streaks of lightning, bursts of thunder.

In an instant, the wind picked up, clouds covered the sky, followed by bean-sized raindrops pounding down from the sky, hitting the windows with sharp sounds.

Another peal of thunder, deafening.

In a split second, the raindrops joined into lines, with a whoosh,

rain poured down from the sky like the heavens had collapsed.
