Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus
Chapter 381 - 372: The Promise of the Rainbow

This rain has been falling nonstop for more than two weeks.

It has submerged many areas, completely inundating some of the lower-lying places.

These torrential rains forced the living survivors to seek refuge in higher altitudes for survival.

Because in low-lying areas, a downpour can spell disaster.

Li Yu stood atop the wall, watching the zombies screech unceasingly. He lit a cigarette in his hand.

Inhale—

A gentle puff of white smoke emerged as Dapao came over and said indifferently, "Looks like the rain is about to stop."

Li Yu looked up to see the sunrise gradually appearing on the horizon.

Sunshower.

Amid the soft drizzle, the light was dim but was slowly becoming brighter.

Time flies so fast.

The rain has poured for so long.

In the latter stages, despite the continuous rain, the temperature was gradually rising.

Now, with the temperature higher, no longer do we have to endure the unbearable cold.

"Yes, when the rain stops, there will be a lot of things to do," said Li Yu.

Dapao seemed thoughtful but did not continue to inquire.

Li Yu turned to Dapao and suddenly asked, "How are things going with you and Song Min?"

Caught off guard by the question, Dapao blushed, unsure how to respond. He always felt he was quite straightforward, a typical 'straight man.'

But Song Min didn't mind those things, instead, she had taught him a lot in many areas.

Li Yu said with a smile, "Song Min is a good person, generous and straightforward. Don't let her down, alright?"

Dapao quickly replied, "I won't. I definitely won't let Xiaomin down."

Li Yu smiled and said no more.

This rain killed a lot of zombies, but it also consumed a lot of gasoline.

He Chao and the others who were temporarily staying in Weng City, although they hadn't gone out, were in urgent need of food. So Li Yu decided to distribute his two kilograms of rice reserved for the month to them first.

This act also earned the recognition of He Chao and the others.

Rain.

Stops as soon as it starts.

By noon, the rain that had lasted for half a month came to a stop.

A rainbow appeared in the sky.

Li Yu looked at the rainbow and remembered a Bible he had flipped through a few days ago in the library.

It talked about the Genesis, when the chosen people were stolen by God, and only Noah's family created Noah's Ark to escape the calamity.

All other impure people were drowned by the deluge.

This rainbow was a covenant between man and God.

Li Yu sighed and laughed.

He remembered a sect from his past life that he heard about often, the Doomsday Sect.

Their philosophy always preached that people are born with sin, and this apocalypse is God's punishment for humanity...

Among them, there were some fanatics who did extremist things.

But the sect was still very powerful. They did not fear zombies or death, and they continued to expand like a virus.

In such a hopeless apocalyptic atmosphere, indeed many people would lose themselves.

But Li Yu always believed that if a person has love in their heart, they would not lose their way.

...

In Safe City, chaos reigned.

A large truck was jammed at the entrance, but many corpses lay in the direction of the main gate.

After being bitten by zombies, many people chose to end their own lives.

With its position not being very elevated, about a third of the city was submerged, and the roads within were littered with puddles.

The wall paint had fallen off, exposing corpses that were swollen from soaking, their surfaces infested with maggots.

White, soft, tender, their appearance was somewhat nauseating.

Yet, under a tree near this corpse,

A little boy sat, his face smeared with dirt, his eyes devoid of any color.

He eyed the maggots and swallowed hard, wanting to step forward but seemed hesitant, glancing around.

Then, he quickly walked over...

...

Old Wu had aged significantly, his face etched with weariness. Once meticulous in his appearance, he liked to neatly comb his full head of white hair back.

But now, his hair was in disarray.

"Xiao Zhang, has the rain stopped? Have the zombies left?" he asked.

A security guard who had been protecting him replied, "Not all have left just yet, but there are very few left."

Old Wu looked at the devastation of Safe City and sighed, "How many people do we have now?"

Xiao Zhang, who had not closed his eyes for several days, advised Old Wu, "Wu Lao, why don't you rest first? You haven't slept for several days."

Old Wu waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Just tell me, I need to know."

With tears in his eyes, Xiao Zhang said, "We're down to thirty-one brothers. Twenty-five brothers have died, almost half."

Upon hearing this number, Old Wu's fingers trembled slightly.

Since the apocalypse, thousands had resisted hundreds of thousands of zombies. Many had died along the way, and after protecting key individuals, they were abandoned.

They had to look for a place to survive on their own, and after much difficulty, they found Safe City and established it as a stronghold.

But in one Zombie Tide after another, their numbers dwindled from over two hundred to what they were now.

Every Zombie Tide was a trial.

If only they had a safer place, if only they had enough ammunition,

they wouldn't have fallen to this sorry state.

Old Wu raised his head, staring directly at the sun until he lowered it, feeling dizzy.

His eyes were bloodshot, his hand raised but fell weakly.

As he tried to stand up, he nearly stumbled, and Xiao Zhang hurried to assist him.

Old Wu said weakly, "How are Hua Chuanlong and the others doing?"

Xiao Zhang reported:

"Hua Chuanlong's losses weren't severe. Out of over a hundred people, about twenty died. Ke Hanyu's situation is similar.

It's just the civilians who suffered more casualties. To block the breach at the West Gate, almost three hundred died immediately. Now there are fewer than four hundred left."

Old Wu closed his eyes and sighed, "The situation is dire. I dread to think what will become of Safe City next..."

Xiao Zhang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

Seeing his expression, Old Wu said bluntly, "If you have something to say, just say it. It can't get any worse than this."

Xiao Zhang, concerned for Old Wu's state, was still hesitant and unsure whether to speak up.

Old Wu, growing impatient, urged, "If I'm telling you to speak, then speak. Why are you hesitating?"

Xiao Zhang finally said, "Our food supply is running low. Adding up our reserves, it probably won't last more than two weeks.

And the civilians, many of them have already run out of food. Some people died of hunger while resisting the zombies yesterday.

Hua Chuanlong's and Ke Hanyu's situations are not much different from ours.

Some people are causing a stir about going out to look for food, while others suggest that we might as well seek out the granaries in Xin City, otherwise we'll all starve to death."
