Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Although Old Lü and the others have seen Li Yu's decisive killings before, the person below just now seemed to make some sense.

A base that wants to be strong must possess a tolerant heart, and have a humane system...

They thought Li Yu would shoot, but they didn't expect him to act so swiftly and decisively.

Li Yu slowly walked down the wall, followed by Second Uncle, Li Gang, Song Min, Old Lü, and Li Haoran.

On top of the wall, five people remained, looking down from above, observing the movements below.

Among these people, Wan Nian took a few steps back and whispered into Wang Ge's ear, "Wang Ge, don't you think this guy is too ruthless? He seems to be the one in control of this base.

With him killing so directly, how can others trust him after entering the base? Seems like a brute."

Wang Ge's eyes filled with wary respect, he spoke slowly, "This man is not a brute; he sees the nature of things clearly. They have the strength, they don't need to care about these..."

Xiao Ma also retreated to his side and asked, "So, what do we do now?"

Wang Ge saw Li Yu, who had already descended from the wall, thought for a moment, and said, "Adapt to the situation, if all else fails.

Then...

Surrender and beg for mercy.

Without guns, living under someone's roof, we have no choice but to bow our heads, without a shiver."

...

Li Yu walked over to He Chao, looking at these people before him.

His gaze became unfocused, a murderous aura emanated from his entire body, as he said:

"Before you entered, didn't I tell you that you could only stay under the tarp, where you can avoid the rain, where you can avoid zombies. Isn't that enough?

He Chao and the others have made a lot of contributions to get to this point.

What about you?

Do I owe you anything?"

His voice resonant like a large bell, struck a chord.

Instilling a sense of fear in the people.

The man before them, it seemed, was not to be trifled with; ready to shoot at any disagreement.

But the world is so wonderful.

At any time, under any circumstances, there are always some people, who, driven by whatever mindset, just like to push their luck.

Even when it's a situation where it's better not to say than to say out loud.

"You are so selfish and self-serving, you don't know how to manage, how to grow, and sooner or later you will encounter problems."

Li Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh. What problems?"

He was actually curious to hear what this person could possibly say.

"I see you've been trading with us recently, then tying us into this, I guess you want to expand the base, but if you want to grow.

You should treat us well, to convince us.

Like giving us food, letting us live in the Inner City, and also, forming a committee.

To have us all participate in elections, to ensure the interests of the majority. With your arbitrariness and self-willedness, you'll be doomed to destruction sooner or later.

..."

Li Yu watched him, again with that rhetoric, he had long thought that someone would use this line of argument to question him.

This sort of talk, he had witnessed similar before his rebirth,

The leader of that base, feeling it made sense, foolishly believed it, which eventually led to the base's downfall.

The leader of that base, his family destroyed and himself killed.

What he said did have some merit, but it overlooked one objective fact.

In this apocalyptic world, because of rising sea levels, many farmlands were submerged.

Coupled with frequent rainstorms, cold snow, extreme heat, zombies, all sorts of natural and man-made disasters,

Many farmlands could not be planted normally.

There was not much arable land to begin with. And there were so many zombies.

Often sowing, sudden rainstorms, sometimes ten days to half a month of heavy rain, would directly flood and rot the crops at root.

Even if they survived the rainstorm, after the rain stopped, planting was still a terrifying and cautious task.

Occasionally facing extreme cold or extreme heat.

Not a single one of them had a stable area, nor a safe zone.

Food was the biggest issue in the post-apocalyptic world.

Secondly, in this post-apocalyptic world, the speed of decision-making was far more important than fairness.

That's why Li Yu held such high prestige within the base.

With such high prestige, he could make decisions quickly.

And why the hell did Li Yu have to be fair to them?

The base was built for his family, and all his decisions were for his whole family and those he considered friends who joined.

Why should he be fair to these strangers?

Seeing that the man kept on babbling, Li Yu didn't hesitate at all.

Bang!

A direct shot took him down.

No nonsense.

For a moment, in the entire Outer City, except for the sound of the rain, there was complete silence.

The group on the opposite side didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

Fearful that they might be next.

Li Yu glanced over them and slowly addressed the other survivors behind them: "I'll say it once more.

If you want to cooperate with us, follow our rules.

You're not stupid; you know how precious food is now. My place should be the only one left where you can exchange for food.

I let you in because some of you have cooperated with us before. I helped you, but I don't owe you.

If you want to get what you deserve, like what He Chao and his group did, exchange it with your contributions. I'm not swapping for free.

If you want to get it through intimidation, the man just now is an example of what will happen."

Hearing this, those in the back who hadn't joined in the uprising showed varying expressions.

The crowd began to whisper among themselves:

"Heh, I told them not to do it, but they wouldn't listen to me. Isn't this playing with fire?"

"Yeah, you haven't seen what they're capable of..."

"Tough guy, good thing I've been honest..."

.....

And those in front of Li Yu and his group, reflecting on Li Yu's last sentence, suddenly relaxed.

If... the recent example was to be their fate.

It meant that this time, they were spared.

Besides, there's strength in numbers.

Moreover, they had been incited by others.

Just as they let their guard down,

Li Yu holstered his gun and said to Li Gang and the others behind him, "Kill these people."

Li Yu didn't have the patience to give people chances.

A single uprising, even if they were foolishly roped into it, meant they would never be employed again, and to avoid trouble, they were dealt with directly.

Since they needed to deter, they would do so thoroughly.

Li Gang nodded, ready to fire.

At that moment, Brother Wang, who had been at the back of the crowd, suddenly sprang out and ran towards the group of people who had not taken part in the uprising.

Seeing this, Li Gang raised his gun, aimed, ready to shoot.

Second Uncle caught sight of Brother Wang and recognized his face.

Instant shock turned to fury.

He quickly shouted, "Wait, don't shoot, hold your fire."

Hearing this, Li Gang and the others swiftly lowered their guns.

They looked at Second Uncle, Li Yu's uncle, with puzzled faces.

.....

I've had a mild fever all day, felt slightly better at noon, and managed to write two chapters intermittently; I'll see how I feel tomorrow. If I'm feeling better, I'll continue.
