Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Tian Rui turned to his brothers behind him and said, "Brothers, if they dare to shoot later, aim for that old bastard Gan Shang!"

Hearing this, Gan Shang instantly exploded with anger.

A threat?

A blatant threat.

Gan Shang was a smart man; he knew that Tian Rui was a man of loyalty.

He wouldn't let his men die in vain.

Gan Shang's brain worked rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.

And just as he was contemplating, Tian Rui's voice came through again:

"Food, give me 1,000 kilos of food, or else we're all going down together."

Upon hearing Tian Rui's demand, Gan Shang angrily threw caution to the wind.

As if Tian Rui was defecating right over his head.

How unacceptable.

Not to mention the whereabouts of Xiao Jun and the others, which Tian Rui still had not disclosed to him.

Today's unexpected problems had thoroughly surprised him.

Being from a merchant family, he would never engage in a losing business.

Threatening him to gain benefits from his side? Over his dead body.

Gan Shang pulled his subordinates together and stepped forward.

Looking as if his life were at stake, he angrily said to Tian Rui, "Come on, just try it! Brothers, don't be afraid of him. If he dares to shoot, you fight back with everything you've got. As long as you're alive, women, everything will be yours!"

Where there are high rewards, there will be brave men.

In this post-apocalyptic world, there are more than enough desperate people.

And there are even more ready to gamble with their lives.

Tian Rui sighed without changing expression. He had just seen Gan Shang hiding behind the crowd, thinking he could scare him, but this old bastard seemed not to care for his own life either.

So be it.

Seeing that threats were getting nowhere, Tian Rui stopped talking.

At this point, both sides had reached a stalemate.

As each had their concerns, it was impossible for either to take the first shot.

Despite their imposing attitudes and the standoff that suggested either side was ready for a 'lose-lose' outcome.

But both were afraid of an accidental discharge.

An actual fight could result in casualties on both sides.

Tian Rui gave Gan Shang a hateful look, then turned to the refugees and said, "Those who want to leave this place, come with me."

Hearing Tian Rui say this, Gan Shang wanted to stop them.

But seeing that less than one-third of the refugees wanted to leave, he decided not to interfere.

What if they leave?

Others would come to take their place.

Moreover, the ones leaving were the disobedient ones, a perfect opportunity to weed them out.

The ones that remain would naturally be easier to manage.

With this in mind, Gan Shang made no move to stop them.

Instead, he said to Hai Chao beside him, "Open the tunnel gates, let them go, don't stop them. Note down anyone who leaves, and don't let them come back."

Those who were close to the conversation hesitated upon hearing Gan Shang's words, torn about leaving.

Staying meant safety was certain.

But leaving was an unknown.

People naturally resist the unknown.

Thus, after Gan Shang said this, several who originally intended to depart chose to stay.

Tian Rui, of course, heard what Gan Shang said and saw that some who wanted to leave began to hesitate.

He sighed inwardly.

Their legs belonged to themselves; it wasn't like he could tie them up and force them to leave.

Besides, after leaving, Tian Rui couldn't possibly take them with him.

But did these people truly believe it would be better to stay?

From his perspective, the answer was no.

Without their restraint, Gan Shang would undoubtedly treat the remaining refugees with even more cruelty.

He definitely wouldn't be as benevolent as Gan Shang had just claimed.

However, those who could see this reality were not in the majority.

Both sides stood under the sun, guns in hand.

Neither dared to fire.

The scorching sun was roasting them.

After waiting for ten minutes.

Tian Rui saw that those who wanted to leave had already packed their things.

He then said to his subordinates, "Let's go!"

A group of people, holding guns, slowly backed away.

Making their way to their vehicles.

They had their own cars, which had accompanied them from the East to this place.

The quality of the military vehicles was excellent, helping them resist countless zombies along the way.

Seeing Dong Tai and a few others who were waiting by the gate.

Tian Rui gave a slight nod in their direction.

Previously, he had made preparations in case of an unforeseen event, ensuring an immediate retreat from this spot.

Therefore, he had already instructed his people to pack everything and load the cars.

Now, Tian Rui stood at the gate, looking at those who wanted to leave Juzi Island.

First, letting the refugees go.

They would follow behind.

This was the last thing that Tian Rui could do for them.

In fact, even without Tian Rui's intervention, Gan Shang would have let those who wanted to leave do so.

After all, those who truly wished to depart were, in his view, not easy to manage.

The South District refugee camp originally had over two thousand people.

But during these days, nearly a hundred had died of hunger or sunstroke.

Then, in the last batch, several hundred were sent away.

Now less than 1,800 were left.

And among these 1,800 people, those choosing to leave Juzi Island.

Were fewer than 500.

These were people of all ages.

Suddenly, a few refugee managers addressed those leaving from Juzi Island:

"Old He, once you're gone, you can't come back. There are so many zombies outside; given your condition, how long could you survive? Even if you're not considering for yourself, think about your daughter, huh? Haha."
