Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 748 - 580: I Should Have Gone to Big Camphor Tree Base Earlier (Additional Update!)
Two days ago.
Xin City, a small town, second basement floor.
Shan Feng watched his son die in his arms.
Later, due to a sudden drop in temperature, his younger brother Ning developed a high fever and nosebleeds.
In the end, as they couldn’t go out to find medicine in the darkness of the night, his younger brother also died in his arms.
That night.
Zombies smelled the blood and groped their way over.
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning caused by burning wood in the basement, Xiao Feng guarded the door to ventilate by opening it.
The zombies gradually approached.
Clang—
A sudden loud noise came from outside the door.
Xiao Feng’s spirit jolted; she turned her head toward the outside.
Roar—
A zombie appeared before her, its face nearly touching hers.
"Ah!!!!" Startled, Xiao Feng reacted quickly to close the door, but in the next second, the zombie at the door bit her arm.
Bang—
The basement door hit the zombie’s head, squeezing it out.
Click—
Click—
Xiao Feng quickly locked both locks.
Then she leaned against the door, shouting to the others inside, "Get over here, there are zombies coming."
The zombie behind the door banged against it.
On the other side,
Just having seen his younger brother die, Shan Feng’s eyes were vacant as he dumbly stared at his brother.
Instead, a middle-aged man and another person, hearing Xiao Feng’s voice, instantly ran toward the door.
Xiao Feng saw them approaching from near the fire.
Seeing the wound on her right arm, her face showed fear, conflict, and despair.
Hesitating, should she tell them?
Should she tell them?
From past experience, if she did, they would undoubtedly kill her without hesitation.
She didn’t want to die!
At least she didn’t want to die so quickly!
Tormented, she worried she couldn’t hold on for long before turning into a zombie, what would they do?
Generally, if a zombie bites a human’s neck, it takes at most three seconds to turn into a zombie.
But if bitten elsewhere, it took longer.
In the blink of an eye, the two men were almost at the door.
Her expression became determined.
If she was going to die, then everyone might as well die together!
A glint flashed in her eyes; she extended her left hand, pulling down her right arm’s sleeve to cover the wound.
"What happened?" the composed middle-aged man asked.
"There’s a zombie outside the door," Xiao Feng said, feigning calm, though her body still trembled.
The middle-aged man glanced at her and then told the other person, "Bring something heavy over to block the door."
They searched the basement and dragged some heavy items over.
Xiao Feng stepped back, making room for them. With their strength and the cramped space, she couldn’t be of much help.
Several heavy boxes were piled in front of the door.
Blocking the door.
In the darkness, Xiao Feng’s face turned pale; the faint firelight inside did not reach them, too far away.
Black spots appeared on Xiao Feng’s face, her body trembling.
By now, three minutes had passed since she was bitten.
Xiao Feng’s consciousness started to fade, staggering towards Shan Feng and sitting down with a thud.
The middle-aged man and the other person were still bracing the door, tested it, hearing the banging from outside.
But it still didn’t budge.
"This should be fine now, right?" said the man with the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at the door, nodded slightly, and said, "Should be fine, you keep an eye on this side."
Then he turned his head, saw Xiao Feng leaning against the wall, looking puzzled,
So he said, "I’ll go check on Xiao Feng; she seems startled."
"Okay."
The middle-aged man slowly walked toward Xiao Feng.
At this moment, Xiao Feng’s head lolled, her hair covering her face.
As the middle-aged man approached, he asked with concern, "Xiao Feng, are you okay?"
Xiao Feng didn’t answer.
Her eyes had completely changed, with black and red, as if bacteria were proliferating rapidly.
Seeing Xiao Feng not responding, the middle-aged man’s vigilance heightened, and he said to the dazed Shan Feng, "Shan Feng, something seems wrong with Xiao Feng, go check on her."
He didn’t want to check himself, but he suggested Shan Feng should.
After speaking, he slowly backed away and, using the firelight, took a knife from the table.
Shan Feng, having just lost two loved ones, was a bit dazed. Hearing the middle-aged man’s voice, he somewhat came to his senses.
"What, what did you say?"
"I said to check on Xiao Feng; she seems to have a problem."
Shan Feng, unsuspecting, his mind filled with sorrow,
Slowly stood up and walked over to Xiao Feng, mechanically pushing her.
Xiao Feng suddenly collapsed; seeing this, Shan Feng immediately thought of his brother, wondering if Xiao Feng had the same symptoms.
So, he bent down, trying to help Xiao Feng up.
Suddenly, Xiao Feng moved her hand.
Seeing this, Shan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Xiao Feng, are you okay? I thought..."
"Ah!"
Xiao Feng’s mouth opened wide, her sharp teeth directly biting into Shan Feng’s neck.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Splashing all over Xiao Feng’s face.
Shan Feng struggled, forcefully pulling at Xiao Feng’s head.
But it was no use.
Seconds later, Shan Feng’s hands weakly fell.
The middle-aged man who saw this was terrified.
Fortunately, he had been clever enough not to approach.
This Small Feng really also, was bitten but still concealed it, he really deserves to die.
Thinking this, filled with anger, he took a knife and swung it towards Little Feng’s head.
Little Feng was caught off guard with her back turned, and was directly hit by the swing.
But her skull caught the blade.
The middle-aged man, experienced as he was, immediately pulled out the ineffective blade and, taking advantage of his position, kicked Little Feng to the ground. Then he plunged the knife into Little Feng’s eye socket.
Puff—
The zombified Little Feng, after being infected by a zombie, died.
The middle-aged man looked somewhat gloomy, gazing at the ground where Shan Feng was still spurting blood from his neck.
Without any hesitation, he swung his knife again.
This time, he struck Shan Feng in the neck.
The head was severed from the body.
"Sorry, you were already bitten by a zombie," the middle-aged man murmured.
Looking at the ground, at Shan Feng’s face illuminated by the nearby firelight.
His eyes were still open, filled with disbelief.
He hadn’t expected to die like this.
But for him, death might also have been a kind of release.
If only he hadn’t been so stubborn back then.
It would have been better if he had chosen to enter the Big Camphor Tree Base instead of staying here.
But, there’s no cure for regret in this world.
Bang bang bang—
Perhaps because the smell of blood in the basement was too strong, it stimulated the zombies outside the door to become even more excited.
The person guarding the door still didn’t know about everything that had just happened by the fire.
Crack crack—
The door was punctured by a zombie, and the lock was also broken.
The basement door was not made of iron, but a regular wooden door.
"Come quickly, all of you, I can’t hold them off much longer, the zombies outside are too strong," he shouted loudly.
The bloody scent attracted many zombies.
More and more.
The table piled up behind the door was shaking, and it looked like it wouldn’t last much longer.
The middle-aged man, hearing his shout, immediately ran over.
Helping to hold off the zombies.
"How is Little Feng? And what about Shan Feng, why isn’t he coming over?"
"Little Feng was bitten by a zombie, and then Shan Feng was bitten; I have dealt with them both!"
"What!!??"
All this had just happened in a few minutes, and he was still somewhat unable to accept it. He turned his head and looked towards the fire. There was nobody sitting or standing, just corpses on the ground.
Little Feng’s, Shan Feng’s, Little Ning’s, Shan Feng’s son Teng Fei’s.
His heart suddenly felt cold.
"Do you think we might also die here?" he said somewhat desperately.
The middle-aged man was about to speak when a tremendous force came through, the door was suddenly smashed open, and a crowd of zombies rushed in behind the stacked boxes.
The middle-aged man also despaired.
"Damn, I knew I should have never followed Shan Feng, and got killed thanks to you losers."
"How could someone as cautious as me end up dying here."
...
The basement had only this one door.
Moreover, with the basement being so narrow, once so many zombies entered, there was no way the two of them could fight them off.
Moreover, that person had already collapsed.
The middle-aged man, looking up to the sky, let out a long sigh.
"Damn....."
....
In this apocalypse, some people are alone, surviving on their own in this world.
And many others band together in small groups to get through it.
Humans are social animals.
But because of the complexity of human nature, many people have to be wary of others around them.
Thus, more and more people choose to live alone.
Living alone, they still have to face endless feelings of loneliness.
And to live together, they must ensure that those they are with are truly trustworthy, otherwise they’ll die even quicker.
Not only that, but they also need to watch out for the weak links in the team, having just one weak link can easily lead to a team’s downfall!
....
Big Camphor Tree Base.
After the acid rain had fallen.
Li Yu ordered everyone going out to wear protective rain gear.
And also tested the Mobile Switch Blade they had built earlier, but since the Zombie Tide had not yet formed a significant scale, it was not used.
Moreover, after discussions with Second Uncle.
They rearranged their shifts.
Three shifts in rotation.
Each shift had fifty people on the perimeter wall.
Li Yu led one team, Third Uncle led another, and Uncle led another.
This allowed each shift, aside from the eight hours on duty, to still have sixteen hours to rest, not too strenuous.
In each shift, they included people from the First Outer City, Elder Qin, Elder Luo, Elder Bi, and He Chao.
With such a force, they could maintain a relatively strong defense.
Inside the duty room.
Second Uncle and Uncle and others all smiled, it had been dark for several days already, and it seemed like this situation might continue for a while.
But, the various measures they had taken before meant this darkness did not greatly impact them.
Whether it’s the underground planting bases built inside and outside the city or the plantations by the cave, all added up to about thirty or forty acres.
With these indoor plantations, even without sunlight, they could still produce food crops.
Moreover, even more importantly.
Now with the acid rain falling, drinking water was a major issue.
But thanks to the water reservoir that Li Yu insisted on building, over 6000 tons of water not contaminated by the acid rain were enough for the daily water usage of the base for quite a long time.
Fortunately, they had built this reservoir.
Not just Second Uncle and Uncle, but most people in the base were somewhat relieved by this thought.
Li Yu, once again proved his foresight.
His status in the Big Camphor Tree was further strengthened.
