Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu, and the others accompanying them still did not know about Li Hongqian's identity.

In their impression, Li Hongqian always seemed cheerful and easy to deal with. Though not much of a talker, he seemed to be a rather pleasant person.

Yet, at this moment, their perceptions were completely overturned.

The soldiers before them exuded an intense combat prowess.

But now, seeing them all so excited, so fervently saluting Li Hongqian.

It was clear that these people greatly revered Director Li's Third Uncle.

Impressive, though not entirely understood.

Suddenly, they all looked at Third Uncle as if he were surrounded by an aura that was not visible to the naked eye.

Mysterious yet powerful.

Seeing Xiao Jun and the others still standing,

Third Uncle waved his hand and said to them: "Sit down. Let's talk, what is it that you are looking for Li Yu about?"

Xiao Jun glanced at the others, somewhat hesitant.

Third Uncle understood and said to Xiao Jun, "Let's talk outside."

Then he turned to Xiao Hu and the others and said, "Wait here for us, I have to talk to Xiao Jun."

Xiao Hu and the others nodded.

Following that brief episode, the caution on both sides had considerably subsided.

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the factory changed as if an iceberg had melted, harmonious once more.

Deputy Team Leader Zhou Tian looked at Old Qin and asked, "Elder, may I know your honored surname?"

Old Qin stroked his goatee and said, "My surname is Qin."

Zhou Tian's face was full of admiration as he said to Old Qin, "Brother Qin, could you tell us about some of the events that happened in the past?"

"Yes, please do."

"Tell us about them."

....

Looking at the young soldiers in their twenties and thirties before him, Old Qin felt as if he were looking at his own children.

Simple and sincere.

After stroking his goatee, he began, "Strictly speaking, our operations are classified, and we should not disclose them to outsiders. But now that it's the end of the world, apart from some content, I can share some of it with you."

Upon hearing Old Qin say this, Zhou Tian and Huang Zheng hurriedly shuffled closer, each taking a seat opposite Old Qin, all ears.

Zuo Ruxue and the others, though not fully understanding the importance, sensed that whatever people were eager to hear must be extraordinary, so they all pricked up their ears.

"Back in the day..."

...

Outside the factory.

The crescent moon hung in the sky, its pale light illuminating the courtyard of the factory.

The moonlight was gentle, the night breeze soft.

The two of them sat on a stone stool under a tree in the courtyard.

Third Uncle handed over a cigarette, Xiao Jun accepted it with a mix of surprise and admiration, his esteem undiminished.

Third Uncle lit a cigarette, then asked Xiao Jun, "So, tell me, what's up with Li Yu?"

Xiao Jun did not hesitate this time and began, "Do you know about the Western Alliance?"

Third Uncle nodded and said, "I know."

Xiao Jun thought for a moment, organizing his words, and then said,

"Let me start from the beginning. Before the apocalypse, we were ordered by our superiors to protect some scientific research personnel, all of whom were working on solving the zombie problem.

However, unbeknownst to us, these scientific research personnel were all fakes.

A few days ago, we brought some people over, posing as these fake scientific research personnel, but we were unaware.

Later, we encountered Li Yu and his group.

These scientific research personnel attacked and injured your people.

Then Li Yu came with Ma Di to expose them, and only then did we realize these people were all impostors.

We were also angry at the time, not expecting these people to use us, and later Li Yu came over and killed those people, and we did not stop.

...."

Third Uncle listened as he recounted the events that had taken place in Xin City, even though he already knew all this since he was in the building opposite at the time and had witnessed it all.

But he did not interrupt Xiao Jun's account.

Only after Xiao Jun had finished did Third Uncle look at him and say, "And then?"

Xiao Jun said, "When we returned to Juzi Island, my leader, Tian Rui, told me to run away immediately. From his reaction, I felt he must have known those scientific research personnel were fakes.

He mentioned someone to me, Gan Xiong."

Third Uncle was somewhat surprised and asked, "Who is Gan Xiong?"

"Gan Xiong is the largest force in the Western Alliance and also the founder of the Western Alliance. One of the leaders of Juzi Island, Gan Shang, is his son.

And Gan Gaojie, who was killed by Li Yu, was Gan Shang's son. That is to say, Gan Gaojie is Gan Xiong's grandson, his most beloved grandson.

The grandson who was most cherished by Gan Xiong was killed by Li Yu."

A sharp light flashed in Third Uncle's eyes.

He muttered to himself: Gan Gaojie, Gan Shang, Gan Xiong.

"Continue."

Xiao Jun paused, then continued,

"I was originally planning to return to Juzi Island to inform our leaders and expose the true nature of Gan Gaojie and the others, but who knew that so many people would be involved behind the scenes? I didn't expect that my leader would not help me, but rather told me to leave. Sigh…"

Seeing his distressed expression, Third Uncle understood why he was heartbroken.

They thought they were protecting important people, saviors of the world, only to find that they had been manipulated by arrogant and presumptuous individuals, which was a great blow to them.

The key point was that when he informed his leader, the Camp Commander, of what he knew, the Camp Commander instead told him to leave.

He felt that the Camp Commander was not as he had imagined.
