Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

He descended the tree quickly, taking only a dozen seconds to slide down.

Once his feet touched the ground, he looked around again, finding nothing unusual.

Staring at the magpie he had killed not far away, he walked over to pick it up.

Just then, there was movement from a tree ten meters to the right.

Rustling——

Xu Chengcai paused for a moment, not picking up the magpie immediately, and instead used his peripheral vision to glance in that direction.

A squirrel!

Slowly, he reached his hand toward his back.

The next second, the squirrel moved.

Trying to climb up the tree.

In an instant.

Xu Chengcai's actions seemed to accelerate, almost beyond the perception of ordinary people.

Withdrawing his dagger, he hesitated not at all and sent it flying toward the squirrel.

All in less than half a second.

Thud——

The dagger stabbed precisely into the squirrel's head, still shaking violently at the handle, showing just how powerful Xu Chengcai's force was.

The squirrel was on a tree ten meters to the right, about two meters high off the ground.

Xu Chengcai glanced at the dagger before bending down to pick up the magpie.

"A pleasant surprise," Xu Chengcai smiled, walking over to the squirrel he had nailed to the tree.

Clang——

He pulled the dagger along with the squirrel down.

Checking the squirrel's teeth and fur, no problems were found.

Then he put the squirrel into his satchel as well.

Today's harvest was big; with this squirrel and the birds, they had food for tonight and tomorrow.

Of course, having survived this long in the Doomsday, they wouldn't consume it all in just two days.

For the next few days, they had enough to eat.

Xu Chengcai walked to the wooden hut, opened the door.

Xiao Yong rushed out and embraced his father.

Xu Chengcai ruffled his hair, smiling, "It's okay."

......

At night, the two of them burned firewood, roasting those two dead magpies.

The little magpies were bound by Xu Chengcai with something, unable to make a sound.

Sitting by the fire, Xiao Yong looked at the fluffy little magpies, unable to resist saying, "Dad, can't we not eat them?"

Xu Chengcai closed his eyes, opening them a moment later to say, "I don't want to either, but if we don't eat them, we'll starve."

Conflict flickered across Xiao Yong's face; he was very kind.

After hearing his father's words, he lowered his head helplessly.

His father was right; if they didn't eat them, they would starve.

Xu Chengcai saw his son hanging his head and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yong, we are human beings; we cannot eat people, but to survive, we have to eat them. Remember, sometimes we cannot help ourselves; not everything we wish can go as we envision, and all we can do is do our best within a limited range."

Xiao Yong somewhat understood.

They hadn't had meat for a long time.

Quickly.

The magpies were cooked.

Smelling the rich aroma of roasted meat, Xiao Yong swallowed.

Xu Chengcai handed the roasted magpie to Xiao Yong, who could not resist taking a bite.

Xu Chengcai hurriedly said, "Be careful, it's hot!"

Seeing Xiao Yong eating forcefully, he laughed and said, "Is it delicious?"

"It's really tasty!" Xiao Yong said, his eyes squinting, a dimple appearing.

Entirely forgetting the earlier pitiful look of the magpies.

Xu Chengcai was amused by his son's appearance and began to slowly eat the magpie in his hand.

As night fell, they nailed the door shut.

Tomorrow, they would go to Sanqing Mountain to see if there were supplies to be gathered there.

The Sanqing Mountain they were going to had an altitude of nearly two thousand meters, and Xu Chengcai did not know how correct his decision was to avoid the city and walk through the forest to climb Sanqing Mountain.

......

Western Alliance.

Gan Xiong's place.

Inside the office.

Gan Hu stared straight at his father, saying, "Dad, you said to let me go as soon as the blizzard stopped. Why are you holding me back now?"

Beside Gan Xiong, Old Zhuang, completely recovered, looked at his nose and closed his eyes, seeming not to hear anything.

Next to Gan Hu, Gan Long glanced at Gan Hu and hesitated, then spoke to his father, "Dad, I think we really should take a look; what's going on with Third Bro over there, we should check it out."

Gan Xiong's chest rose and fell, he closed his eyes.

He wanted to know about his third son's situation, but ever since Gan Hu and Wayne went to Yishi and discovered the village, he had been somewhat worried.

Previously, no forces were discovered, but now suddenly, many emerged.

Moreover, the mountains are far; he was afraid whether Third Son had offended someone over there, causing trouble.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be no signs at all.

Even if it were a natural disaster, it couldn't wipe out everyone, right?

He deduced it must be Gao Ru and Xiao Shang there who offended someone, and the whole army was wiped out.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible that after the blizzard, there still wouldn't be any return...

If now Gan Hu goes over, is he also at risk from unknown forces there...

For the Western Alliance, that would be a significant blow again.

One side was family affection, the other was reality's interests.

So many people in the Western Alliance, needing to open their mouths to eat every day, now bullets were scarce.

Hidden dangers in the base were numerous, they couldn't make more enemies.

At this moment, hearing both sons advising him.

How didn't he want to bring back his youngest son!

"Dad!" An urgent call came from Gan Hu.

"Go ahead, take firearms, bullets, take a quarter of them. Go early, return early!" Gan Xiong was ultimately defeated by family love.

The most crucial thing was, if Gan Hu was not allowed to go, possibly both sons would have a gap with him, and it might result in father-son becoming enemies, which would not be conducive to the stability of the Western Alliance.

Hearing his father agree, Gan Hu quickly stood up, bowed to Gan Xiong, and walked out of the room, appearing set to depart immediately.

Gan Xiong looked at his eager son running out, helplessly.

Sighed long.

......

Gan Hu's actions were swift; within less than ten minutes, he had called for six or seven cars and thirty or more people, heading toward Orange Continent.

Bullets, food, sleeping bags, and other things were prepared, ready for departure.

The truth was, Gan Hu had started preparations to depart from Western Alliance towards Orange Continent since the blizzard had just ended.

Engines roared.

Driving at a high speed towards Orange Continent.

The cracked, high-temperature road surface was hard to traverse, and Gan Hu was bounced poorly in the car, but he was excited because he was about to see Third Bro.

He always liked playing with Third Bro since childhood, always managing to find ways to play together.

Doing some thrilling things, Third Bro dared to think, he dared to do.

It was especially fun.

Unlike Big Bro, who was serious all day, but he felt Big Bro was just faking seriousness.

Along the way, he hadn't noticed the river's streams slowly rising.

Not far upstream from them, a large reservoir was slowly overflowing.

........

Xin City.

A few kilometers outside the Big Camphor Tree Base.

In a small town not far away, the town's terrain was low, surrounded by mountains, with a straight national highway passing through, and a township road next to it.

This place was also where many cooperative personnel were willing to stay; before the apocalypse, it was relatively affluent here; after the apocalypse, they found many useful things here, and after repeated cleanups, the zombies here had been mostly killed.

With mountains all around, it isolated quite a number of zombies.

This small town had relatively few zombies and was easy to escape during a Zombie Tide.

As soon as the zombies came, they could flee into the forest.

........

In the sunlight.

A group was discussing in the middle of the road.

These were the cooperative personnel expelled by Li Yu.

At first, due to greed, they secretly took the food; some original cooperative personnel then wanted to leave here, to look for opportunities farther away, while some wanted to continue staying here.

Fifty people, after leaving Big Camphor Tree Base together, journeyed a distance together to reach here.

"Anyway, I'll stay here. If you want to leave, just go. Our group won't leave." Duan Guan said to several others.

"I'm not leaving either; I've been to the neighboring city already."

"Then just go farther away. Oh well, since you're not leaving, we'll go."
