Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus
Chapter 402 - 393: Surrounding from Four Sides

The forty people from the Big Camphor Tree Base ensured that there were nearly ten people at each entrance.

This also ensured that when Li Yu and his team entered, He Chao and others were still at the entrance blocking some people trying to escape.

Those entering through the main entrance included Li Yu, Li Gang, Dapao, Yang Tianlong, Lai Dongsheng, and Li Hang.

Four-thirty in the afternoon.

The sun was setting in the west.

Li Yu looked at everyone and said, "Be careful, everyone. The people on the other side have guns as well.

Although the information we got before was that their bullets are running low, some time has passed, and we have no clear idea of their current situation.

Remember what I said, keep in touch through the walkie-talkies.

OK, everyone, go in your own direction!"

After Li Yu finished speaking, everyone dispersed in different directions.

After the crowd left, two people remained in the middle, Hua Chuanxiong and Old He.

The two of them watched as everyone left, mouths taped shut, unable to speak.

Li Yu looked at them, thinking to himself: There are still these two, things will get busy later at midnight, keeping an eye on them will require more hands...

So he called over Li Hang and Dapao and said, "Deal with these two and remember, don't make any noise."

The two nodded and walked towards Hua Chuanxiong and Old He.

Hua Chuanxiong and Old He, seeing Li Hang approaching, suddenly had a bad feeling.

They struggled to free themselves from the bindings, but it was ineffective.

...

This time, they had brought enough protective gear, even He Chao and his team had protective suits.

This time, they were fully prepared and extremely cautious.

Li Yu watched as everyone slowly left, his gaze from the balcony somewhat anxious.

So he took out a telescope and looked toward Safe City in the distance, thinking that entering this gate at night would be a bit tricky.

And, in other directions, everyone found a suitable position and noticed this issue.

They had one most brute-force way, which was to ram the gate with a vehicle.

Inside Safe City, to save energy, many places were lit up.

The pitiful solar power was used for lighting at the entrance and for daily living needs of Uncle Wu and others.

The civilians inside Safe City barely moved around at night since there was no lighting and they couldn't see.

Half an hour after everyone left.

The walkie-talkies began to receive reports from Third Uncle, Old Xie, Old Lu, and others.

"Position secured."

"Position secured."

"Position secured."

Li Yu thought for a moment, then spoke to everyone, "Everyone, take a good rest for now. If there's really no other way, we'll ram open the gate with the car. Also, remember one thing, once you enter Safe City, make sure not to be alone.

Always ensure there are at least two people."

"Understood."

"Understood."

"Understood."

After receiving replies from all three parties, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and handed the telescope to Dapao.

He asked Dapao to keep watch while he went downstairs to eat something.

According to the plan, they would start their operation at half-past three in the morning.

He glanced at the time, six o'clock.

The sky was growing dim.

Li Yu checked around the house again, ensuring everything was in order. After finding no issues, he returned to the top floor, the fifth floor.

He found a room, ate something, and then rested on a simple stool.

This was going to be a tough battle; he needed to rest up properly.

At the back door, Third Uncle was with Li Haoran, Li Haoxian, and Shang Xue'er, among others.

They hadn't found a tall building near the back door; perhaps it was a new development, as all around were low-rise houses.

There were even some dilapidated tile-roofed houses.

Third Uncle looked at He Chao's visibly nervous subordinates and spoke, "Sit down, have something to eat, don't be nervous. Your task later will be to shoot anyone not from our team who comes out."

Hearing this, the men relaxed a lot.

Third Uncle looked towards Li Haoran and Li Haoxian; the two little rabbits didn't seem nervous at all.

Not the first time killing zombies, nor the first time killing people.

Watching them, Third Uncle thought about the influence Li Yu had on them, and let out a small sigh. He wasn't sure if this was good or bad.

Perhaps, only in this way could they survive better in the post-apocalyptic world.

He was very clear that to kill a person calmly, even an enemy, one must overcome considerable difficulties.

From the collapse of the worldview that they had been taught at the very beginning, to finding new support, and then to the rebuilding and stabilization of a new worldview.

Only by firmly believing that what they are doing is right can they maintain their composure.

Seeing Li Haoran and Li Haoxian like this, Third Uncle couldn't help but laugh at himself for thinking too much.

Righteousness and evil, often, are defined.

As long as you have a clear conscience, why not do it.

West Gate and East Gate.

Besides the teams led by Old Xie and Old Lü, there were some of the earliest workers who entered the base.

After experiencing so many things, especially after being saved by Li Yu, which allowed their families to live and settle in the Big Camphor Tree Base,

They were completely conquered by Li Yu. They had no reason not to be loyal to Li Yu.

Human nature seeks advantages, but the advantages they now have are already the best outcomes.

By protecting the base, they protect their own families, they are protecting themselves.

Old Lü and Old Xie both felt somewhat emotionally complex.

Last time, they ended up fighting in Harmony Garden.

This time, they have to engage in great slaughter again.

They felt that this was completely different from the style of Director Zhang back in Jiefang City.

One is decisive and ruthless;

The other hesitates and has more compassion.

However, their outcomes were completely different.

One leads the base to greater heights, and by protecting the safety of the base's residents, while cruel, it is truly safe. He truly has a sense of responsibility towards the people in the base.

The other caused Jiefang City to end up in chaos, and because of a policy of appeasement, because of kindness, the base fell apart, and many people who left the base, due to their weak strength, gradually died.

Kindness is not the original sin; the fault lies in the ways of the world.

Adaptation is necessary for survival.

If you want to be able to do something, you must give up something else. Since ancient times, there has always been a trade-off.

No, Old Lü suddenly felt something wasn't right. Since joining the base, he found that Li Yu was very mild mannered within the base.

Completely different from his exterior demeanor.

Selfish?

I don't know.

At least Director Li was very good to him, to Old Lü.

He allowed his daughter to grow up normally, saved all these members of their team.

In other words, if Li Yu hadn't saved them, they would have long since died.

Now, what right do they have to think that what they're doing now might be too cruel?

Suddenly, Old Lü, who had always been a little troubled, had a major realization.

He shook off decades of ingrained notions.

Righteousness can sometimes kill people; righteousness is sometimes just righteousness.

In the post-apocalyptic world, righteousness can easily lead to carelessness.

....

Let's just focus on the present, he believed that what Director Li was doing was right.

Having understood everything, he immediately felt enlightened.

Meanwhile, Old Xie in another direction, wasn't burdened with so much thought.

He had always been an optimist and was very clear about the reality of their situation.

Everyone entered their respective areas to rest.

In the evening breeze, the night deepened.

At the gate of Safe City, the wind swayed the hanging lamps.

Creating a creaking sound.

In this quiet night, it felt particularly desolate.
