Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

The constant downpour has submerged the national highways in lower areas outside.

The zombies have taken refuge in water pools, or some caves and abandoned buildings.

However, as they move, their skins are scorched by the intense sunlight and peel off.

Some zombies exposed to the sun for a long time have large patches of weakened flesh, lethal to humans.

But these are zombies; even with only a head remaining, they still ”live.”

On the wall, Third Uncle, wearing radiation protection clothing, a helmet, and goggles, observed the situation with the zombies.

Unable to hold back, he complained: ”These zombies are truly resilient; even like this they won’t die. It seems only piercing their skulls can be fatal.”

Li Yu, beside him, also remarked:

”Zombies adapt to the environment much faster than humans. Even prolonged extreme cold and freezing couldn’t kill them, instead forming white skin.

Luckily, zombies don’t reproduce, while humans can, so eventually zombies will be exterminated...”

Third Uncle nodded as he observed the zombies outside.

Under solar radiation, the temperature rises quickly, making their radiation protection outfits unbearably hot.

”Xiao Yu, how are Old Dong and his team doing? The temperature keeps rising, and the freezer can’t hold out much longer....”

Li Yu spoke: ”It should take around two more hours. They said a magnetic shield must be set up to restore some power.

With the magnetic storm ongoing, we cannot see anything at all. Hastily starting the power system might lead to a system collapse.”

”Alas... this is really...” Third Uncle sighed, unsure what else to say at the moment.

He thought about the underground planting base and greenhouse fruits and vegetables. Without continuous power, these crops wouldn’t last long.

Just then.

He Chao approached wearing radiation protection clothing.

”City Lord, the magnetic shield is ready, and it can be used now,” He Chao said as he approached Li Yu.

Li Yu was a bit surprised upon hearing this; he had just checked his mechanical watch, and the time hadn’t reached Dong Ying’s estimated time yet. How come it finished ahead of schedule?

”Alright, let’s go take a look.”

Li Yu followed He Chao down the wall.

With the power system collapsed, they couldn’t use the elevator, so they had to walk down.

Soon enough.

Li Yu and He Chao arrived at the Second Outer City repair factory.

They removed the heavy helmet and pulled down the radiation protection clothing, tying it around their waist.

Closing the repair factory’s gate behind him, He Chao entered.

”City Lord.”

”City Lord.”

”Brother.”

”Xiao Yu.”

Seeing Li Yu and the others come in, Luo, Old Dong, and the rest greeted them.

Li Yu waved his hand, asking, ”Is the magnetic shield ready? How much power can it restore?”

Old Dong thought for a moment before replying, ”That’s hard to say; we can only find out by trying it.”

”Then let’s hurry up. Let’s install it in the Inner City now,” Li Yu promptly suggested.

For the Big Camphor Tree Base, the most crucial aspect is the basement warehouse.

It stores the base’s most vital supplies.

Including most of the food, firearms, seeds, freezer, and even Zombie Attraction Potion.

The warehouse is divided into zones, each set with different temperature and humidity....

All driven by electricity.

With the current power outage, they haven’t opened the warehouse yet.

Everyone donned radiation protection clothing and goggles, following Li Yu into the Inner City.

Actually, ordinary clothing can block sunlight; as long as the skin doesn’t directly contact sun rays, it’s fine, but wrapping oneself up is inconvenient, and some skin may get exposed while moving.

Additionally, general clothing materials don’t have good thermal insulation.

Furthermore, clothing that’s not thick enough will provide minimal sun radiation protection.

A few minutes later.

Everyone arrived outside the warehouse.

There was an electric switch controlling the warehouse inside.

Li Yu glanced at Old Dong, Luo, and the others. It was his first time bringing Outer City personnel here.

Usually, not only Outer City personnel but even most Inner City personnel aren’t allowed inside.

However, given the urgent situation, they had no choice but to let them in.

The basement warehouse is divided into zones, with each zone sealed off, so you can’t see the situation inside from the outside corridor.

Additionally, the electric switch is located on the right wall behind the second door, eliminating the need to delve into the warehouse itself.

Li Yu took out a key and opened the first door of the basement warehouse.

Ka-ka—

The first door opened, revealing a second door behind it.

Between the first door and the second door was a small space where everyone entered, following behind.

Li Yu glanced at the group behind him, then opened the second door.

Before them was a vast space, at least two to three stories high, with an extremely long corridor in view.

Li Yu walked to the wall on the right side of the door and said to Old Dong and the three others, ”The electric switch is here, let’s get started quickly.”

Old Dong heard this and hurriedly, together with Li Tie and the others, lifted the magnetic shield placed on the ground and moved over.

Li Yu didn’t understand the precise operation process, so he could only watch them work quietly.

About fifteen minutes later, Old Dong raised his head and said to Li Yu, ”City Lord, this side is ready. Next, we need to configure the transformer in the electrical room, and then we can attempt to activate the warehouse’s electric switch.”
