Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Driving all the way.

From Xin City to Big Camphor Tree Base, it's only a few dozen kilometers,

But because the loader moves slowly, they still took more than an hour.

Under the scorching sun.

Finally, around 12 noon, Li Yu and his group reached the walls of Big Camphor Tree Base.

Old Qin saw the shocked expressions on the faces of Xiao Jun and his group as they got off the vehicle and did not mock them.

They were just as shocked when they first saw this enormous wall.

At this time, the wall has some differences from when Old Qin and his group first joined.

It was not only increased in height to twenty meters.

Most critically, following He Bing's suggestion, Li Yu and Second Uncle added horizontal blades at around ten meters up the wall.

When there are no zombies, the blades cling to the wall surface, serving as protection.

However, in the event of an extremely large Zombie Tide, even if zombies pile up,

These dense blades will activate, with double-edged swords rolling back and forth.

Due to the recent use of a large amount of steel plates and rebar, and the installation of these blades,

A steel workshop has been set up in the Second Outer City within the base.

Specifically used for smelting steel plates and sharpening blades.

At this moment, the blades cling to the wall and are still understated under sunlight, but they will reveal their formidable presence once zombies approach.

Li Yu chatted briefly with Third Uncle in the vehicle, and Third Uncle nodded, then got out and walked towards Xiao Jun and his group.

As soon as he got out, a little follower trailed behind him; that orange cat seemed to have taken to Third Uncle, following wherever he went.

Third Uncle walked up to Xiao Jun's vehicle and said:

"There's a rule inside the base, all firearms must be handed over before entering,

If you want to have a look inside, you'll need to surrender your guns first.

Well...

Would you like me to show you where you will be staying today?"

Xiao Jun looked at Li Hongqian, hesitated for two seconds, seemingly resolved, and said to Third Uncle:

"Uncle Li, will these guns be returned to us later?"

Third Uncle nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, they will be returned intact when you leave."

Xiao Jun discussed briefly with Zhou Tian and a few others beside him, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, we are willing to hand them over."

They knew that this was actually a test, a test of each other.

Clearly, Big Camphor Tree Base did not force them to surrender their firearms.

Instead, it gave them a choice.

If you want to come in and have a look, fine, but you must trust that I will not take the opportunity to disarm and harm you.

If not, you are also free to leave with your weapons, we have found a good place for you to stay.

Everything was arranged clear and straightforward.

Xiao Jun knew this was a test, understanding the cruelty of this apocalyptic world,

Therefore, he knew there was no problem with Big Camphor Tree Base behaving in this manner.

But for himself and his people, it was a huge trial.

They could only bet on the understanding they gained over these days.

If it were before, Xiao Jun would have turned and left when faced with such a choice.

But with Third Uncle's endorsement, he believed that such a person would not deceive him.

Li Yu watched in the rearview mirror inside the vehicle as Xiao Jun and others handed over their firearms to Li Tie and others, then he sighed in relief.

He always believed in reciprocation.

But he never takes the initiative to show goodwill, after all, he and Big Camphor Tree Base do not need to please anyone at this moment.

If you want to join us, you can, but you need to show sincerity first.

The gate they entered was not the Second Outer City, but the First Outer City.

The Second Outer City is currently under construction and dusty, so it was not convenient to take him in.

Initially, he only intended to show them Weng City, but there was nothing in Weng City which seemed impolite.

Since they handed over their firearms and were so curious about Big Camphor Tree Base, showing them a little wouldn't hurt.

Li Yu signaled to Li Haoran, who was on duty at the wall, to open the gate.

Rumble——

The large iron gate slowly opened.

The group drove into Weng City.

Considering the safety of the personnel in the First Outer City, they connected it with Weng City.

Although one can directly leave from the First Outer City,

But now they generally enter from Weng City, stay for a few minutes for a security check, then proceed to the First Outer City.

Because of Li Yu and their return, many people from the base ran over to the wall.

Father Li, Second Uncle, Uncle, Li Hang, Li Yuan, Ding Jiu, Song Min, Song Qi, Wang Cheng, He Chao, and others....

They watched the convoy, their faces filled with excitement.

After Li Haoran on the wall opened the large iron gate.

He excitedly shouted towards Li Yu, "Big brother. Is this a tank? It looks so majestic!"

Li Yu opened the roof of the vehicle, sat on the top, and looked up,

Smiling and nodding, he said: "Yes, this is a tank."

The dream of every man, tanks and planes.

Now these three majestic tanks and those three armored vehicles looked very imposing.

Although they seemed a bit small under the loader, the long and thick gun barrels gave a sense of strong aggression.

Now, these tanks and armored vehicles belonged to them.

In fact, the armored vehicles they brought back looked somewhat different from tanks, but they were also equipped with machine guns.

The difference between tanks and armored vehicles,

Lies in the fact that armored vehicles have thinner armor, about 30-40 millimeters, while tanks are much thicker.

Furthermore, tanks are equipped with more fixed weaponry, generally consisting of a main cannon paired with a coaxial anti-aircraft machine gun.

Armored vehicles have a more diverse array of weapons.

Secondly, the crew of a main battle tank generally ranges from 3 to 5 people,

But the inside of an armored vehicle can sometimes accommodate more than ten people.

After all, these two must coordinate with each other.

The tank formation leads, using their heavy armor and strong cannons to eliminate enemy firepower points, covering the armored vehicles behind them until they reach a distance of 300 to 400 meters from the enemy position, then deciding based on the battlefield situation whether to let the infantry disembark and fight.

Under the wall, Xiao Jun and others, after surrendering their firearms, accompanied the vehicle's movement, observing the people on top of the wall,

well-equipped and numerous.

And there was a heavy machine gun placed right in the center.

As the vehicles entered, Weng City also became crowded.

Li Yu got off the vehicle, saw Yutong, and gave her a big hug.

After chatting for a bit, Li Yu found his Second Uncle and introduced Xiao Jun to him.

Second Uncle greeted Xiao Jun in a friendly manner.

After stopping for a few minutes, Li Yu asked Li Gang and others to drive the Unimog and other vehicles like tanks into the Inner City, including the recently acquired bombs and bullets, asking them to count and store each one.

On the road before, due to time constraints, they hadn't had the chance to count the bombs and bullets in detail.

He let Third Uncle take Xiao Jun and their vehicles to be placed in Weng City, and they walked into the Second Outer City to rest.

Li Yu found Uncle and Second Uncle up on the wall and discussed with them about some things Xiao Jun talked about today,

and also shared his own thoughts with both of them.

Uncle said:

"Since they are willing to surrender their firearms, it more or less proves something.

Your idea is good, just observe and see, but make sure to deploy orders to pay careful attention to the personnel stationed outside and the extra staff."

Second Uncle also nodded and said:

"I think so too, the situation at Juzi Island is complicated, blindly dealing with it is not as good as waiting.

By the way, Tianlong mentioned that some mortars were brought back this time, it could be arranged to be mounted on the walls."

Li Yu, seeing both elders supporting him, felt a sigh of relief.

As the base grew bigger, his power also increased, and sometimes he feared that some of his decisions might not be the best.

Having their support made Li Yu feel much more at ease.

He then said: "I'll talk to He Chao in a bit, ask him to pass the message so everyone pays attention to strangers in the coming days.

Also, the mortars can be installed.

And the driving of tanks, let Old Qin and others get familiar with it soon.

And also about the mortars, have Third Uncle teach everyone how to use them."

The group talked for a while, and before they knew it, it was almost one o'clock.

They hadn't eaten yet.

Li Yu asked Zhou Xiumei to prepare more.

...

Third Uncle led Xiao Jun and others into the First Outer City and were somewhat amazed.

A utopia.

Farmlands, water channels.

Buildings.

Basketball courts.

The big camphor trees in the top right corner of the First Outer City.

Smooth roads.

Some mothers doing handicrafts with their children, others working in the fields.

...

Peaceful and beautiful.

If one were to enter the Inner City, they would find the environment there even better than here.

Not only him, Zhou Tian, Huang Zheng, and others who came with him were all amazed.

"I didn't expect it to be so big inside."

"Bigness is useless, look at Jiangxin Island, that place is big but a mess."

"Sigh, if Jiangxin Island had such high walls and strong defense, and if it was well-managed, it wouldn't have turned into such a mess."

"Management? The last time crops were planted, they hadn't matured yet and were uprooted by people. So many people, how can it be managed? Besides, with all sorts of people mixed in, do you remember the man who set the fire last time?"

"You mean that time, the guy who starved his wife to death and then started setting fires everywhere."

"Right, sometimes I really don't understand why it turned out this way."

"Gan Shang and his group clearly can't sustain so many people, yet they heavily promote outward, deceive, attract people to join without food, aren't they harming people? Really don't know why they do this."

...

"Everything, just for food," Deputy Leader Zhou Tian sighed, summarizing their conversation.

With more people comes the inability to sustain them. Being unable to sustain, there's a need to grow crops.

But in this post-apocalyptic world, where can one find a safe and suitable place for agriculture?

And moreover, people who are extremely hungry, how can they wait for the crops to mature? They would starve within a few days.

Walking down the way, marveling at every step.

Marveling at how different places in this post-apocalyptic world have completely different fates.

In Juzi Island's South District, perhaps someone dies at night, and no one knows, not even finding the body in the end.

But here at the Big Camphor Tree Base, everything seems like before the apocalypse, tranquil and peaceful, like a picture.

...

Lunchtime.

Considering that Xiao Jun and others had surrendered their firearms, they were invited to join for a meal.

In the First Outer City.

At the dining table, Li Yu said to Xiao Jun:

"At Big Camphor Tree Base, everything is according to regulations. You just arrived here, and came in a hurry without any food.

How about this, we'll first give you 100 kilograms of food. Later, you can bring materials to exchange for more.

It could also be some building materials or other items, which you can later exchange with us.

At the same time as exchanging, you can also accumulate points, and once you reach the required points and pass the evaluation, you can join us."

Xiao Jun looked at the food in front of him and nodded, saying, "Okay, thank you, Director Li."

Looking at his companions around him, in less than 5 minutes, they had already finished the food.

This made Xiao Jun feel somewhat embarrassed.

After the meal, Li Yu asked Third Uncle to take care of the guests while he stood up and walked towards the Second Outer City.

He was going to inspect the construction of the bunker.
