Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 445: The Strength of Captain Luo's Headquarters, Food Distribution Plan (Two-in-One)_2



At the moment, he didn't know much about Li Yu, so it was a bit awkward to bring up the issue of food reserves directly. Looking up, he suddenly saw Old Lü and others taking turns killing zombies.

So he said, "Li Xiao Ge, how are we arranging things now? I have no idea how many zombies there are."

Li Yu sighed and said, "It's gotten dark now, and it's unwise to fight zombies at night. Let's go inside first. We've just sent someone to check the main entrance, and we can leave through there.

We'll just leave this hole as it is, it's the safest way, just kill as many as we can. Tomorrow when the sun is up, we'll head out from the main entrance.

I estimate by tomorrow, after tonight's depletion and under the fierce sun, there should be significantly fewer zombies outside."

Captain Luo, hearing Li Yu's plan, gave a thumbs up and said, "That's a good plan. It seems very steady. By the way, looking at your outfits, some seem to be Armed Police Force's gear, while others look like military equipment.

Are you guys the local stationed Armed Police Force?"

He was quite curious, especially since during the ten days of darkness coupled with relentless rain and crazed zombies, most local militias disbanded.

Throughout his journey, he hadn't seen a team as intact and numerous as theirs.

Li Yu shook his head and pointed at Old Lü, saying, "He is from our city's Armed Police Force, so are those others, and my uncle is from the county's Armed Police Force.

However, after the zombie outbreak, most forces collapsed, and we reorganized and now have come together."

Captain Luo's eyes flickered, just as he wanted to inquire about Li Yu's identity, from what he observed, this group of over forty people all followed this young man.

So he was curious why everyone listened to Li Xiao Ge.

However, this young man, exuding a decisive and ruthless aura, was obviously not a simple character.

He refrained from asking further, as they had already answered some of his questions.

They didn't elaborate, which meant they didn't want to delve deeper; asking further would be impolite.

Now that his group didn't have guns and their lives were saved by these people, he needed to show respect.

He opened his mouth, wanting to mention the disposition of the reserve food, but before he could speak,

Li Yu directly asked, "Where did you guys come from, and what's the situation over there?"

Captain Luo replied, "We came from the south, then were ordered to search for the food reserve warehouse.

Who could have predicted, alas, there would be looters? Truly, moral decay and forgetting of old virtues."

Li Yu, hearing Captain Luo's lament, was unmoved inside.

The apocalypse had already broken out over a year ago; wasn't it a bit late to mention this now?

It shouldn't be, living through so long in the apocalypse, how could one be so naive? Suddenly, Li Yu realized, talking about the loss of old virtues was a way to criticize Black Snake and elevate him, creating a persona of him as one who hasn't lost old virtues.

Later, if they talked about food distribution, they could ask for more.

Li Yu kept calm inside, his concerned issues hadn't been answered by Captain Luo yet; he was more interested in how many people they had and what the overall situation was at their base.

Li Yu had come back after being reincarnated for five years, and in his memory, within those initial five years of apocalypse, he had never encountered a large base.

Even if there had been one, it existed only briefly before collapsing.

The Safe City he had encountered before, its population had already surprised him.

In this apocalyptic world, not only were there zombies but also torrential rains boosting the ferocity of zombies, sudden zombie tides, and other calamities like ice, extreme cold, and heat.

Under such circumstances, a lot of land was submerged, and zombies rampaged, making cultivation nearly impossible, so many bases collapsed due to the critical problem of food.

Additionally, in an apocalyptic world, human malevolence reached extremes; without absolute military support, it was very difficult to manage people.

For a large base,

internal management was tough, disobedient people were numerous, fights and killings happened frequently, and the severe food issues pushed the management problems further. Under selfish human nature, it easily snowballed into a major internal crisis.

Externally, zombies were everywhere, the more people a base housed, the more zombies it attracted, especially during rains, as zombies could still survive in water and even get stronger.

Not to mention, occasionally there were blizzards and high temperatures.

This made it exceedingly difficult for a base to grow significantly large.

Li Yu didn't want to beat around the bush and directly asked, "Captain Luo, I want to know about your base, how many people are there? And who is the leader?"

Captain Luo paused, holding his cigarette mid-air upon hearing the question.

After a moment of thought, considering everyone had military backgrounds, he said:

"In this apocalypse, not only did the zombie outbreak occur, but the weather has also become bizarre.

Our base headquarters is in the southern Guangdong Province, at the Furong Mountain Resort in the northern part of Baiyun District.

After the zombie outbreak, every place fell, and it spread even within our military departments.

Later, we encountered Ye Lao's security squad. After joining forces, some other Armed Police joined us too.

Then we rescued over a hundred survivors; now, altogether, we have about three hundred people.

Originally, there were more survivors who wanted to join us, but we simply couldn't save them, alas.

We're also facing a food crisis at the base, which is why we thought of coming out to look for food, these food supplies are life-saving straws for us.

Our small squad, over thirty people, came out to search for food, traveling hundreds of kilometers, crossing Nanling, and finally reaching here.

The journey was fraught with heavy casualties, and now, now, only the three of us are left.

Sigh...

..."

Listening to Captain Luo's words, Li Yu's first thought wasn't to feel sorry for him, but to ponder the information revealed in Captain Luo's words.

Thinking inwardly, not to overthink, the reborn Li Yu really didn't want to leave any hidden dangers.

There are no eternal friends, just eternal interests.

Weak power, holding onto resources that shouldn't belong to one, will only attract plundering.

A group of three hundred people, with over one hundred survivors, means there are still over one hundred, formed by scattered Armed Police and military units. Now losing thirty people, there should be about a hundred left.

Though the numbers are not large, one should not underestimate them.

This population number, this makes sense.

Recalling when he fled from Devil Capital, he realized one thing, to stay away from cities, cities with large populations during the apocalypse, where the more terrifying zombie tides are after the outbreak.

Guangdong Province is populated heavily, not to mention its capital cities.

This means they, along with ordinary survivors, should number over two hundred, the current population of their base is almost the same as ours.

If not for Li Yu deliberately controlling the population, those willing to join the base would have exceeded a thousand by now; everyone around Xin City wants to join the Big Camphor Tree Base.

The population number, although an asset in the apocalypse, is also a burden.

Baiyun District's Furong Mountain, hundreds of kilometers away from Xin City, and crossing Nanling is not easy. The threat is not significant.

Now at the base.

Old Lu and others, originally from the Armed Police, including Uncle, Dapao, Li Gang, Li Tie, Yang Tianlong, Third Uncle, all came from military units. Altogether forming a solid strength of dozens.

This past year, we've also trained our internal people, including Lai Dongsheng and others like Ding Jiu, who have all made significant progress.

Equally matched in strength, this reassures Li Yu.

Thus, he said to Captain Luo: "Old Luo, we are similar to you guys, all coming from within the ranks and some composed of the Armed Police."

Captain Luo nodded, thinking it made sense. He had seen the motions of Li Gang, Dapao, and others, including Old Lu, and knew they must have come from military units.

And then there's Third Uncle Li Yu, who looks like an old farmer, seemingly not simple.

Li Yu thought for a moment, recalling what Captain Luo mentioned about their current leader at the base being Ye Lao, unsure if it was the Ye Lao he knew.

So, he asked, "You just mentioned Ye Lao, does he have a granddaughter named Ye Shishi?"
