Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus
Chapter 379 - 370: Burning the Zombie Tide

In the torrential rain, zombies receive a significant enhancement.

So.

Survivors sometimes fear dark clouds because they sometimes herald rain.

This rain has lasted for more than a week.

From the initial drizzle to the later moderate rain pouring down, and now a downpour.

In the heavy rain, zombies, like crazy, tireless beasts, constantly assault the base's walls.

These zombies madly use their hands to claw at the concrete walls.

Under the erosion of the rainwater, some wall surfaces have even been clawed open a small gap by the zombies.

But after all, it's made of reinforced concrete.

The gap is a few dozen centimeters wide, but only one or two centimeters deep.

After clawing their way in, it becomes increasingly difficult for zombies to breach further because the interior is filled with a large amount of steel reinforcement and stones.

It is an effect that these zombies can only achieve after continuous, round-the-clock effort over more than a week.

The thickness of the wall, after several widenings, has now reached more than 4 meters.

That is, more than 400 centimeters. Given the speed at which these zombies claw, under constant rain, it would take seven or eight years to breach the wall.

Li Yu, standing atop the wall, also sees these zombies clawing at the wall, which doesn't worry him too much.

However, the number of zombie corpses beneath the wall is increasing, some already piling up into small hills.

Especially near the main gate.

Li Yu thought for a moment, then took out a walkie-talkie and said to Li Hang:

"Xiao Hang, you and Dapao go to the fuel depot and bring a barrel of gasoline over. There are too many zombie bodies now; let's burn them."

Li Hang responded over the walkie-talkie: "Okay, on it."

He's been eager to burn these zombies with gasoline.

A contiguous trail of gasoline, burning these zombies, sounds particularly thrilling.

The downpour is relentless.

Like the heavens have sprung a leak.

The downpour soaks Li Yu's clothes and drenches the cigarettes in his pocket.

So, he places the cigarettes in the duty room, spreading them out on the table one by one to air dry.

As soon as he steps out of the duty room, he sees Li Hang and Dapao coming with a barrel of gasoline.

Li Yu nods and says, "Use the sprayer to drench that largest pile of zombies, make sure to spray it evenly."

Then he turns his head to look at He Chao and others inside Weng City.

Those residing within Weng City, although in a relatively safe place these days, are less than 5 meters from the wall, where zombies lurk.

And these zombies continuously roar all day and night, making them feel as if they are always among a horde of zombies.

The large iron gate is also occasionally rammed by zombies, making a banging noise.

But, having endured so many days, they've also adapted quite a bit.

Li Yu sees no commotion inside Weng City and withdraws his gaze. Turning around, he sees that Dapao and the other guy have already sprinkled the gasoline.

They look at Li Yu, eagerly awaiting his command.

Li Yu nods and says, "When I light the fire later, try to stand back. You didn't get any gasoline on you, did you?"

Dapao and the other guy both shake their heads, with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

They, too, are keen to see how this large barrel of gasoline will burn the zombies to death.

Li Yu lights the torch he had prepared earlier; the torch is also soaked in gasoline. As rain hits it, the torch is not extinguished but the flames burn even more fiercely.

Crackle and pop.

Li Yu turns back and says to the two, "Gasoline is much lighter than water, the fire will flow on top of the water.

Moreover, when gasoline burns, the more water there is, the larger the fire will be. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, it won't extinguish the fire but will help the gasoline burn, and might even lead to explosions.

I'll throw it from a distance later, don't you two get too close to watch, and tell anyone nearby to quickly leave the wall.

We've spilled so much gasoline, it could easily end up burning our own people. Go now."

After speaking, he slowly stands on top of the wall.

He had used this method in his past life, but had not really used it in this one.

Soon, everyone standing on the wall around the main gate is warned to leave, standing at the part of the wall closest to the inside.

Li Yu slowly approached, a pungent smell of gasoline wafting over.

Looks like those two wastrels used up an entire barrel, those spendthrifts.

...

Li Yu tossed the torch in his hand directly onto the spot where Dapao and the other had sprayed the gasoline.

Boom!!!

A zombie corpse over two meters high suddenly burst into flames.

And the fire spread at an extremely rapid pace.

Pop pop pop~

The flames spread like arrows, crazily igniting among the zombie horde.

Soon, it had set ablaze all the zombies within a hundred meters nearby.

Li Yu turned back to look at Dapao and his companion, he hadn't expected them to have sprayed so much gasoline on the zombies.

These zombies caught fire as soon as they came into contact with it—flammable on contact.

Boom!

At the foot of the perimeter wall, where there were the most zombies, the gasoline that Dapao and the other had sprayed was the densest. Even under the torrential rain,

it exploded!

The exploded gasoline sent sparks flying everywhere.

Some even hit the perimeter wall, but the fire did not go out; as long as there was gasoline left unburned, the flames would continue.

Below the wall, a sea of fire.

Zombies do not cry out in pain, maybe they don't even know what pain is, they could only growl and scatter in all directions.

And as these zombies scattered everywhere, the fire grew more intense with their movements, even more zombies were set ablaze.

Amidst the explosions and the firelight, people inside Weng City didn't know what had happened, until occasionally the scent of burning gasoline filled the air.

There was also the smell of burning rotting corpses, a stench that made one want to vomit.

On top of the perimeter wall.

Li Yu saw a zombie running towards the woods and thought 'Not good.'

He picked up the crossbow, aiming it at the fleeing zombie.

Pffch!

The zombie, covered in flames, fell to the ground.

Its flames still did not extinguish, burning by itself.

After burning for a while, everyone on the wall began to approach the edge.

The moment they got close, a wave of hot air hit them.

The glow of the fire warmed their faces, but the expressions on their faces were all one of shock.

Just now, they had all seen Li Hang and Dapao come up with a large barrel of gasoline, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.

This move had burnt at least a thousand zombies to death.

And this number was still increasing. In the chaos of the zombies running wild, the zombies were too tightly packed, resulting in a massive death toll.

Li Yu looked at everyone's shocked expressions and explained, "These zombies have various kinds of grease on them, and inside their bodies are many substances in decay, all extremely flammable."

Everyone nodded, and Li Yu said with a smile, "We can try this move again in the future. Zombies are naturally flammable, a discovery made by Bai Jie, which deserves praise."

In the crowd, Bai Jie, being praised by name by Li Yu, had eyes brimming with joy.

In the last world, although Li Yu knew zombies were highly flammable, he didn't know the exact reason, but now Bai Jie had explained it all clearly.

He hoped that Bai Jie would bring him more surprises in the future.

Li Yu nodded at Bai Jie, and she blinked back secretly.

The fire burned for a good ten plus hours.

Even imitating the same method, in other areas where there were denser piles of zombie corpses, it was utilized.

All with good effect, though less gasoline was used than the first time.

The downpour only fueled the flames.

In the sea of fire filled with zombies, everyone's faces were illuminated.

Their eyes were filled with hope.

And confidence.

This ongoing resistance against the zombies, the ceaseless battling day and night, left them utterly exhausted.

This blaze was like an encouragement to them.
