Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus
Chapter 372 - 363: Entering Weng City!

Willow branches, heavy after rain, pine colors carry deep smoke.

Outside the enclosure, among the pine trees.

In the drizzling rain, swathes of white mist twirl around.

It feels somewhat ethereal.

Roar~

The rainy scenery in the mountains is indeed beautiful, but amidst this misty drizzle, more zombies have emerged.

Mixed with the sound of the steady rain are the zombies' shrieks.

Thump!

A precisely shot arrow strikes a zombie's head.

The tail of the arrow is still quivering, showing the force behind it.

The high-strength dual-wheel compound bow used by Li Yu saves eighty percent of effort.

That is, only 15 pounds of force is needed to pull a 60-pound medium crossbow.

While saving energy, the shot arrows are also extremely powerful.

After shooting one arrow, Li Yu slowly pulls out another one.

These arrows are homemade, and the shooting effect is surprisingly good.

Li Haoran, standing nearby, is also firing a crossbow.

These high-strength compound crossbows were acquired by Li Yu through the black market before the apocalypse. They were pricy, but of course, the quality is very good.

"Brother, this rain has made the weather even colder. I feel like it's even colder than before," said Li Haoran.

Li Yu shook the rainwater off his raincoat and responded, "It was cold before, but the humidity wasn't as high. Now with greater humidity, the cold is everywhere.

Haoran, don't be too hasty to shoot, take aim first.

If you miss again later, I will have you go out and retrieve the arrows."

Looking at the increasing number of zombies beneath the wall, Li Haoran felt a tingle in his scalp and hastily responded, "Brother, don't be so harsh.

I'll aim better."

He then steadied himself, aiming the crossbow at a zombie not far below the wall.

Taking a deep breath, he aimed, waited for two seconds.

The bowstring loosened, and the arrow shot out.

Thump!

Seeing this, Li Yu nodded and said, "Right, just maintain this state, practice well."

Upon receiving Li Yu's approval, Li Haoran's face showed excitement, and he continued shooting one arrow after another.

Seeing the motivated Li Haoran, Li Yu smiled and then left the wall.

At the moment, the number of zombies beneath the wall wasn't too high, so there wasn't too much to worry about.

But constant vigilance was necessary, in case the number of zombies increased significantly, they would need to be exterminated.

Back in the duty office, Li Yu watched the surveillance cameras absentmindedly.

Suddenly, Li Haoran burst into the duty office.

Pointing to Li Yu, he exclaimed, "Brother, there are some cars coming outside."

After hearing this, Li Yu's expression became tense, People are coming?

He quickly called for Li Tie and others.

On the wall, Li Yu used a telescope to look at five vehicles passing through the forest.

The vehicles looked somewhat familiar.

Li Yu looked carefully.

It's He Chao's vehicles!

Ever since they were able to exchange goods at the Big Camphor Tree Base, they have been living nearby.

Now with the rain, zombies are everywhere, and even if humans hide, zombies can still detect their scent and attack.

The few cars outside the wall were heavily surrounded by zombies.

The scratches on the vehicle bodies attest to the difficult journey they had.

Second Uncle, Li Tie, Old Lü and others also arrived at the wall and saw those distant vehicles.

Everyone, wearing raincoats, couldn't see clearly in the dim light.

Old Lü exclaimed, "Those are He Chao's cars."

He then looked at Li Yu but didn't speak, as the decision-making power resided with Li Yu; it wasn't his place to decide on a rescue.

Li Yu was also pondering. He Chao, also a former resident of Jiefang City, had exchanged goods with them a few times since the last time the trade model was initiated.

Moreover, after the people from Safe City arrived, he had proactively informed Li Yu and his group.

Thanks to their warning, Li Yu was able to prepare in advance and had surrounded Captain Tao and all his people.

In the rainy night, Li Yu's eyes flickered.

But He Chao and others below the wall were at a critical moment.

Inside the foremost vehicle, with the window open, someone seemed to want to say something, but was quickly surrounded by zombies and drowned out by their roars.

As the surrounding zombies increased in number, the vehicles were rocked continuously.

Everyone dared not speak, waiting for Li Yu to give an order, whether to ignore them or rescue, they would follow the command.

After all, these people below had become somewhat familiar after a few trades, and they had been helpful...

Rescuing them wouldn't be a big deal, since the number of zombies still wasn't that large and they wouldn't need to keep them inside the base.

Not rescuing wouldn't be a big problem either, except they would possibly have to find other people for future goods exchanges.

However, He Chao and his group had always performed well. They also regularly reported on some conditions surrounding Xin City.

...

"Open the gate and shut down the Research Room; let Bai Jie temporarily go up to the surrounding wall. Pull up the ladder that descends into Weng City.

Let them stay in Weng City, do not open the back door," Li Yu said.

After several modifications, Weng City, the surrounding wall, and the Observation Tower were all interconnected.

However, to maintain independence in the Weng City, no permanent steps were built. Instead, simple steel retractable ladders were used.

Now, even if the gate is open, zombies will definitely swarm in more or less.

But the gate here, its surface is made of steel plates several tens of centimeters thick, with concrete poured inside the steel reinforcement, weighing ten tons, and is pulled up and down on an axle.

Even if zombies stand in the middle of the huge gate, the thick gate will crush those at the doorway to bits once it's shut, no matter how many zombies there.

This is why Li Yu can rest assured to have them open the gate.

Upon hearing Li Yu's command, Dapao and others quickly opened the gate.

Then, Li Tie behind saw more and more zombies approaching from other directions and said:

"Big Brother, there are too many zombies; should we find a way to help them clear it out?"

Li Yu looked back and said, "Yes, help them in."

Then the people on the walls began to aim their crossbows and shoot.

In the vehicle, He Chao, who also came with a trying mentality, drove here, thinking whether he could get shelter; he didn't expect the gate to really open.

Boom~

Below the wall, the vehicles revved up to maximum power and surged toward the gate.

At the gate, some zombies also squeezed over, and for a moment, many zombies poured into the gateway.

Seeing more zombies following from behind, Li Yu saw them get crushed under the wheels of the vehicles they were driving.

They were turned to mush by the tires without any effort.

"Quick," Li Yu shouted down from the wall.

Five vehicles quickly entered through the gate, followed by a swarm of zombies.

Li Yu then pulled out a Hand Grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it into the densest crowd of zombies outside the wall.

Boom!

The cluster of zombies outside the wall was instantaneously blown apart, creating a vacuum in the densest area in the front.

Click~

Seeing He Chao and others enter Weng City, Dapao immediately pressed the pulley, lowering the gate slowly.

Some zombies still at the gate poured into Weng City.

Around the gate, the zombies mindlessly followed as the heavy iron gate slowly descended.

Four or five zombies were crushed in half directly.

The large iron gate was like a sharp and heavy Chopper, splitting the zombies at the doorway in half.

Inside Weng City.

There were still over twenty zombies that had followed the vehicles inside.

Li Yu couldn't see clearly, so he said to He Chao and others who had entered Weng City, "Don't get out of your vehicles yet, there are still zombies."

Then he said to the people beside him, "Turn on the lights, all of them, and use crossbows to eliminate the zombies inside."

Li Tie immediately moved the spotlight, pointing it inside Weng City.

Instantly, Weng City lit up like daylight.

Whoosh~

Following the sound of crossbows firing, the more than twenty zombies inside were annihilated.

The position where Li Yu and the others were standing was on a reinforced wall.

This wall was over ten meters high, about the height of four to five stories.

Li Yu then looked down at He Chao and the others. The vehicles were clearly visible under the lights.

"Let your brothers out," Li Yu called down to He Chao.

Following the sound of car doors opening, He Chao stepped out of the vehicle, tilted his head to try to see the people on the wall.

Under the harsh light, however, he was dazzled and couldn't make out the faces on the wall.

Yet, the people on the wall could see them very clearly.

After stepping out of the vehicle, unable to see people clearly, but vaguely knowing the direction where Li Yu and the others were, He Chao bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Director Li. We did not expect that you would really open the gate to save us, thank you, thank you."

Then he spoke to the people in the other vehicles," Brothers, get out of the cars, let's thank Director Li for saving our lives."

Rustle~

A large group of people got off the vehicles.

Dapao counted and then said to Li Yu, "There are 31 people. 19 men, 12 women."

Li Yu nodded.

Most of these people were familiar to Li Yu and his group.

These people expressed their gratitude towards Li Yu and his group.

"Thank you, Director Li, for saving us."

"Great kindness and great virtue of Director Li."

.....

Listening to their words of thanks, Li Yu felt no great stir in his heart.

He directly told the people below, "I'm just letting you stay inside Weng City for now; go out once the Zombie Tide recedes. This is all I can do."

Although He Chao and others felt a bit disappointed, having a safe place to stay, they were very grateful.

He Chao was a clever man; this time he brought some people Li Yu had not met before, so he took the initiative to report:

"Director Li, this time we brought 31 people, some of them are our family members. They weren't here when we exchanged goods with you before."

Li Yu then looked at Yutong and Old Lü, they had been in Jiefang City before and would probably recognize these people.

Seeing them nod, Li Yu also felt relieved.
