Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

”And the reason they want to join us is very simple: they want to ease their food pressure. Them joining will only increase our burden.”

”Alright, we have a team that went to the river bend in the Western region, they discovered.....”

....

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Li Yu looked at the base, which had already resumed normal operation up and down, and let out a breath of relief.

They had finally pulled through another trial.

In his previous life he was just a little nobody struggling at the bottom, thinking every day about how to survive.

His understanding of the distribution of various powers in the Doomsday was limited; he hadn’t even been to the north.

And in the early phase after being reborn into the Doomsday, he didn’t have any big ambition either.

He only wanted to protect his family and friends, to live properly in this Doomsday.

But the gears of fate began to turn after he established the four-level Rank System.

The base started to expand, personnel increased, and even after the base’s location was exposed, in order to gain stronger power to resist unknown dangers, they began to take in more talented people and search for armories.

Li Yu hadn’t wanted it to be like this; how great it would have been to just find a place to hole up and lie low.

Unfortunately, not everything progresses according to his wishes.

The bigger the base, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the difficulties and challenges they faced.

Too many natural disasters, too many Zombies, and human nature was unpredictable.

Putting down the glass of water in his hand, Li Yu watched Lao Yi and the Jackals pilot the Helicopter and lift off. They were going to check on a few nearby Satellite Cities.

The First, Second, and Third Satellite City had all made contact yesterday; the Fourth Satellite City only got in touch late last night.

The Fifth Satellite City had completely lost contact.

....

On the other side.

Coming down from Wuyi Mountain and walking all the way west, Chen Delong and the others had now arrived outside the Second Satellite City.

An Sheng and Zhuo Jun were supporting Tui Zi between them. Tui Zi’s eyes were rolled up, his breath as weak as a thread.

An Sheng patted Tui Zi’s face, panting as he said:

”Brother Tui Zi, pull yourself together, we’ve reached the Second Satellite City, we’ll be saved soon.”

”Tui Zi, Tui Zi, wake up!” Zhuo Jun shouted as well.

Tui Zi still didn’t respond.

”Turn his back to the sunlight, lift the cloth off his head, I’ll give him some water.”

Zhuo Jun hurried to follow his instructions.

Chen Delong brought the water bottle to his mouth and poured a little water in.

A few seconds later, Tui Zi finally slowly came to.

”Where are we?” Tui Zi’s voice was very faint.

Seeing him wake up, Chen Delong’s face lit up. As he screwed the cap back on, he said, ”We’ve already reached the Satellite City. I know Ahong in the Second Satellite City, I’m just not sure if there’s anyone left inside.”

Outside the wall were densely packed black bones. Judging by the marks on the wall, it must have been besieged by a Zombie Tide. Ah

An Sheng licked his dry lips and shouted up, ”Anyone there? We’re from Big Camphor Tree Base.”

”We have major matters to report!”

”Is anyone there?”

....

They shouted at the gate for a long time, but the top of the wall was completely empty; no one came out to answer them.

”Forget it, stop shouting, let’s go. The Zombie Tide was too fierce; the Satellite City probably couldn’t hold. We’ll go to Big Camphor Tree Base and take a look.”

Watching Zhuo Jun and An Sheng take turns yelling with still no one appearing, Chen Delong finally spoke.

”Sigh...” An Sheng let out a sigh. He really couldn’t walk anymore.

Exhausted.

Just then, a person suddenly appeared on top of the wall.

The person’s outfit was not much different from theirs, all wearing a cloak to block the sunlight, with a black cloth covering the face so you couldn’t tell if it was a man or woman, young or old.

”You’re from Big Camphor Tree Base?” the person on the wall said.

Hearing this, An Sheng and the others quickly turned around and replied, ”Yes, yes, we’re Cooperative Personnel Group 47, our team leader is Chen Delong.”

”Oh? You just said you have major matters to report?” the one on the wall asked.

Chen Delong looked at the person on the wall but couldn’t make out who it was at all.

So he asked, ”Are you from Big Camphor Tree Base? And what about Ahong and the others who were originally stationed here?”

Hearing this, the one on the wall muttered to himself, ”Ahong?”

Then he stopped paying attention to the people below like Chen Delong, hurriedly ran down from the wall and headed toward the central building.

In the open space inside the wall, there were still many Zombie corpses, and some people were currently moving them.

He ran to the central building in a hurry and said to a man sitting in the middle:

”Brother Le, a few people outside are claiming to be from Big Camphor Tree Base. They say they’re here to find Ahong. Should we let them in?”

”Ahong? Could they mean Zhou Hong? But that shouldn’t be right, those people all withdrew, didn’t they? Take me to see.”

Le Ziqing stood up, put on a cloak and other clothing to block the sunlight, and headed toward the wall.

Very soon.

They arrived on top of the wall.

Looking at the new few people that appeared, Chen Delong hurriedly asked from below, ”We really are from Big Camphor Tree Base. Right before the natural disaster broke out we’d just gone out on a mission and didn’t make it back in time. Now we have major news to report to the base.”

”Please use your walkie-talkie to contact the base. Our walkie-talkie’s out of power.”

Le Ziqing thought for a moment and asked, ”The Ahong you just mentioned, what’s the full name?”

”Zhou Hong,” Chen Delong replied without hesitation.

That’s right.

Le Ziqing said to himself silently.

This Zhou Hong was precisely the Outer City personnel who had handed over the Second Satellite City to him back then, so it could be inferred that what these people down below said was true.

So he said to the brothers beside him, ”Open the gate, let them in first.”

”Okay.”

The gate was quickly opened.

After Chen Delong and the others came in and saw Zombie corpses all over the ground, they couldn’t help but click their tongues. It looked like a fierce battle had broken out inside here.

”You guys must’ve had a rough time recently, huh?” Chen Delong said to Le Ziqing walking in front.

A trace of bitterness crossed Le Ziqing’s heart. Thinking of the scenes during those days of torrential rain, they still felt a chill down their spines.

At first they defended on the wall, but later they really couldn’t hold it, gave up defending the wall, and retreated into the inner buildings.

If it hadn’t been for the food Li Yu left them, they probably couldn’t have held out till now.

Chen Delong couldn’t see Le Ziqing’s expression, but from his sigh he could sense how brutal the previous battle had been.

So he continued to ask, ”Which group are you from? I don’t think I’ve ever run into you before.”

After thinking for a bit, Le Ziqing said, ”My name’s Le Ziqing. We haven’t been here long. We only arrived about three months ago.”

”Haven’t been here long?”

Chen Delong immediately understood—they were those people who’d come from the Southwest.

At this moment he suddenly understood why only these people were left in the Satellite City. According to Big Camphor Tree Base’s usual style, under such heavy rain they would definitely have had all Cooperative Personnel withdraw.

And these people hadn’t withdrawn, so it must have been due to some special reason.

And that reason, a lot of people already knew.

Previously, these people from the Southwest had stirred up protests in the Fifth Satellite City, and later even tried to rebel.

It was inevitable that Big Camphor Tree Base would have a negative opinion of them.

Sigh....

He didn’t have much to say either; after all, he was just Cooperative Personnel himself, at most having cooperated a bit longer.

Soon.

They entered the building.

Without solar radiation, the indoor temperature was seven or eight degrees lower.

Everyone hurriedly took off the outer clothing they’d wrapped around themselves, their faces beaded with fine sweat.

Le Ziqing looked at them curiously and said, ”The rain was so heavy earlier—how did you avoid the Zombies?”

Hearing this, Chen Delong thought of the brothers who had died.

He shook his head, his tone a bit downcast as he said, ”There were dozens of us when we set out, and now only four are left. Surviving was pure luck. Ah

I won’t talk about it. Please contact the base as soon as possible, we have very urgent matters to report.”

Le Ziqing glanced at the four of them and nodded. ”Alright, I’ll contact them for you right away.”

Then he said to the brother next to him, ”Get them some water.”

......

Big Camphor Tree Base.

In the duty room.

Li Gang picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, ”Alright, I understand. I’ll send people over in a bit. Have them wait there.”

After he finished speaking, Li Gang turned to Second Uncle and said:

”Second Uncle, Group 47 led by Chen Delong, the ones who went out on a mission and didn’t make it back in time—they’re not dead. They’re at the Second Satellite City now and say they have major intelligence to report to us.”

Second Uncle sighed when he heard this. ”They really are tough. I thought they weren’t coming back.”

At the same time he thought to himself:

Major intelligence? What kind of intelligence.

He couldn’t figure it out.

So he said, ”Just as the Jackals and the others are already out, contact the Jackals and Lao Yi, have them go pick up Chen Delong and bring him back to give his report in person.”’

”Okay.”
