Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Actually, this method still comes from Father Li's years of experience making cement pipes.

Spraying it with water helps enhance the flexibility of the wall.

Plus, with the scorching sun over these past few days, the freshly mixed mortar is prone to cracking under the heat.

The progress these days has been fast; seventy percent of the wall has already been built.

Over a hundred people have been constructing the wall for the sixty-acre Second Outer City, covering 40,000 square meters.

It means that the length and width are each 200 meters. Since the Inner City Wall is already in place, they only need to build walls on three sides.

That's a total of 600 meters of the wall.

600 meters, which equals to roughly half a meter per person over these five or six days on average.

The pace is gratifying.

It seems that in just another two days, the wall will be completed.

Suddenly, at noon on this day, He Chao, together with his subordinates, brought back some raw materials and immediately sought out Li Yu as soon as he got off the vehicle.

With a grave expression, he said, "Director Li, this time when we were returning from our trip, we came across a person near where we dig the sand. He was acting very sneakily, and we intended to stop him, but he was too far away and he ran into the woods."

"I think that the appearance of green zombies in the river can't be unconnected to him. He is very suspicious."

Li Yu was shocked upon hearing this. If the green zombies were man-made, it meant more zombies infected by chemicals could emerge.

Damn it!

Li Yu quickly urged Third Uncle, Old Qin, and others to stop what they were doing, and told He Chao's subordinates to temporarily cease searching for raw materials.

What they brought back today was already enough for today and tomorrow.

Li Yu said to He Chao: "Have them help out here, um, you go too, just take Deng Ben and a few others with you. Continue with the construction of the base."

Second Uncle and others who heard about this were also deeply concerned.

Li Yu thought for a moment and asked, "This time you went out, did you see any new green zombies?"

After pondering for a moment, He Chao shook his head and said, "No."

Li Yu nodded and said, "Good."

Second Uncle, after listening for a while, said, "This person appeared by the river, plus last time you mentioned finding a chemical factory, right? It's near there?"

Li Yu replied, "Yes, right there."

Second Uncle continued, "If we're going out to search, then I suggest we should focus on that place again. It's very probable that the man is hiding there."

Li Yu recalled that last time he indeed did not search that area thoroughly, as they were short on time, and also they had fewer people, not enough hands.

Hearing what Second Uncle said, Li Yu also felt it was likely.

So, he immediately said to Li Tie: "There's no time to lose, he might escape if we delay, get the vehicles ready, let's hurry over."

Boom~

Without any hesitation, everyone prepared weapons within three minutes and set off from the base.

On the vehicle, everyone was wearing anti-riot helmets and anti-explosion suits brought from the base.

Li Yu was loading bullets into magazines one by one in the vehicle.

If other people in the base were a bit nervous,

His mind was in turmoil.

In his previous life, he had never seen such green zombies.

Originally, he thought it might just be an accident.

This chemical plant, abandoned after the apocalypse, had dumped waste into the river, causing zombie infection.

If there was human interference, then it was not just an accident.

In his previous life, he was just a displaced and struggling survivor, Karami.

What he saw and experienced was very limited.

Moreover, in his previous life, he didn't have the time or energy to understand the post-apocalyptic world's situation.

Just surviving in an environment overrun with zombies was already difficult enough.

Moreover, due to the apocalypse, information transmission was extremely inconvenient, and his knowledge was very limited.

Click~

Another magazine was loaded by Li Yu. Dapao, sitting next to Li Yu, saw his serious expression and was somewhat surprised.

Previously, he had never seen Li Yu like this.

He always seemed fully confident, but the expression on Li Yu's face now unexpectedly suggested a trace... of nervousness!

He asked, "Brother Yu, are you okay?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just get yourself ready too. Don't take it lightly just because there's only one person. I feel that this matter is not so simple."

Dapao was slightly stunned, not quite understanding, but seeing Li Yu taking it so seriously, he too shelved any underestimation.

Inside the vehicle, no one spoke.

Everyone was checking their own equipment, getting fully geared up and ready.

As Li Yu had said, venturing out from the base without caution was tantamount to courting death.

They continued on their way.

After more than twenty minutes.

Over forty people disembarked.

The team split into three groups.

Old Qin and some others surrounded the chemical plant nearby to prevent the person from escaping.

Third Uncle and Li Yu, leading a team each, started searching within the factory buildings.

Returning to this place, the chemical plant remained as before – desolate and dilapidated.

The zombies they had killed before were still lying on the ground.

The grey walls were coated with a lot of green liquid, which had dried up over the days without rain; the sun had baked the green substance onto the walls, making them look like a crinkled face.

"Third Uncle, you take people to the left building, I'll go right; we'll meet at the river bank at the end," Li Yu directed.

Third Uncle gave an ok sign and then quickly ran towards the left building.

Thud thud thud –

Their footfalls inevitably made noise.

Li Yu instructed Dapao and two others to go straight to the roof for the highest vantage point, so they could overlook the scene below.

The rest, clad in anti-explosion suits, meticulously searched each room in the factory.

First floor, second floor, third floor – nothing was found.

But in a room on the second floor, they encountered a zombie used for experiments, lying motionless in murky green liquid.

"Quick, big bro, there's something here," Li Gang's voice came through the headset.

Li Yu didn't hesitate and immediately ran down from the third floor.

Upon entering the room, the first things to catch his eye were various vessels and containers filled with unidentifiable liquids, many of which were nearly depleted.

He also noticed several machines in the center that Li Yu couldn't recognize, his gaze slowly moving across them.

In the middle, he saw a naked zombie lying still, now in a state of calm.

Beside the zombie, there was a heart rate monitor, but it showed no signs of life.

"Is this zombie dead? Why isn't it moving?" Li Gang was confused; the zombie had no apparent injuries, yet its eyes were closed, motionless.

Li Yu felt something eerie about the surroundings, a slight trepidation—a sixth sense for sensing danger.

Ever since he had entered the room, he felt uncomfortably out of place.

"Xiao Gang, don't get too close, step back a bit," Li Yu instructed.

Although unsure where the danger was coming from, Li Yu had an inexplicable feeling that something was off about the seemingly dead zombie.

Li Gang backed away a few steps, but just then, his gun barrel accidentally struck a glass vessel.

Clang –

The glass vessel tipped over and crashed onto the cement floor, making a loud noise.

Gurgle gurgle –

The sound drew Li Yu's attention.

Splash –

Roar –

The previously tranquil green zombie in the central glass pool suddenly sat up straight amidst the overflowing green liquid.

It lunged towards Li Gang.

Bang –

Li Yu fired his gun directly at the zombie's knee.

The zombie stumbled but soon dragged its leg, continuing towards Li Gang.

Li Gang, having been alerted by his brother, was fortunate; if he had stayed where he was, the zombie would have bitten him.

His heart raced with fear.

He raised his gun in anger, aiming for the zombie's head.

Li Yu, seeing his action from the corner of his eye, quickly shouted, "Don't kill it…"

Before Li Yu could finish saying "it's dead."

Bang!

Li Gang's bullet had already flown.
