Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

From various places, they gathered building raw materials.

The exchange ratio remained the same as before:

One ton of stone = one jin of rice

One ton of sand = one jin of rice

One ton of limestone = one jin of rice

...

These people were very busy, and within a day, Big Camphor Tree Base had exchanged hundreds of jins of food with these people.

But for the base, it was not a loss; on one hand, they exchanged hundreds of tons of raw materials for a small amount of food.

On the other side, they also created a connection with the neighboring survivors using a small amount of food, deepening their dependency on Big Camphor Tree Base.

There is always envy.

Better to guide than hinder.

Now that the existence of Big Camphor Tree Base has been exposed, these neighboring survivors knew about it, and on the brink of starvation, they were sure to have some ideas.

However, Big Camphor Tree Base now offered them a method; by doing tasks, they could exchange for precious food. Why wouldn't they take advantage?

After all, Big Camphor Tree Base was so strong that even if they tried something, they might ultimately not snatch the food and lose their lives as well.

....

Li Yu continued to inspect the situation within the base.

At this moment, the rumble of trucks sounded, and Li Yu turned his head to look. He saw on the leading truck was still a Zombie's body covered in green lumps all over.

Li Yu quickly descended.

The truck stopped on the right side of the main entrance of the base, precisely where the Second Outer City was currently under construction.

"What happened?" Li Yu looked at the Zombie on the truck and asked.

He Chao, who had just gotten down from the truck and was covered in sweat, said: "Just now we were at the river, digging up sand, when suddenly several Zombies appeared from the river.

These Zombies were all green. Seeing that something was wrong, we killed those Zombies.

Lucky that Ah Hong looked up and saw them, otherwise, some of us would have been bitten.

We waited for a while, and no new Zombies appeared by the river, but these Zombies were quite strange, all of them being green. Thinking that we have a Research Room, we thought to bring them back for study."

He Chao breathed heavily as he finished his sentence; everyone busy nearby stopped and stared at them, after all, in this post-apocalyptic world, they had never seen green Zombies.

Li Yu watched as Ah Hong and others unloaded this Zombie, and then he asked, "Are these Zombies different in any way? Are their combat abilities stronger compared to the normal Zombies?"

He Chao spoke with lingering fear: "Yes. They run particularly fast and are more agile, almost, no, even a bit faster than the Zombies during a heavy rain."

Hearing this, Li Yu frowned. Zombies during a rainstorm were already strong enough, and now a green Zombie had emerged; what was the situation?

He had only seen ordinary Zombies before.

But, since it's been discovered, it's better to be prepared early.

Besides, only speed and agility have increased a bit.

Li Yu then asked, "Is there any other change? Apart from speed and agility, are there any other differences?"

He Chao shook his head and then said: "Didn't have a close look, we were scared at the time, so we just fired our guns immediately, and about other aspects, we didn't notice anything else, but there's one similarity with regular Zombies: if you shoot them in the head, they die."

Li Yu stepped forward and examined the Zombie.

This Zombie was different from the regular Zombies on the surface; its skin was not dry but moist, covered with various small lumps, which looked somewhat disgusting, enough to make someone with trypophobia get goosebumps all over.

Moreover, the substance oozing out was also green, which looked quite nasty.

Li Yu then said to Ah Hong, "Take this Zombie over to Bai Jie, let her compare it with the ordinary Zombies to see what's different, to see if any new discoveries can be made."

"Okay, Director Li," Ah Hong said, then he and two other people carried the Zombie away.

Seeing that everyone was still watching, Li Yu told the crowd, "Stop watching, go back to your work."

Then, Li Yu said to He Chao, "I'll come and look with you later when we go to load sand."

He Chao nodded, then led the people to unload the sand from the truck.

This sand was directly dumped onto a piece of open land that Qin and some others had developed a few days ago.

After He Chao finished unloading the sand, he got on the truck.

Before Li Yu could get on the truck, Bai Jie and Xiao Lan ran out from inside the city.

Running up to Li Yu, they said, "Director Li, the Zombie just brought in was found by the river, right? Are you going there now to check things out? Could you take us with you for an on-site investigation and study?"

There was no reason for Li Yu to refuse.

So, he allowed the two to bring some equipment and get on the truck.

After they left, He Bing, Li Hang, and others also left the base, as they needed to go retrieve the shaft kiln from the cement factory; without this thing, making cement would be difficult.

On the perimeter wall of the entire base, about ten people armed with guns were on guard duty.

Outside the base, old Lü and about a dozen others were patrolling, ready to eliminate any Zombies that might appear, determined not to let any Zombies enter the construction site.
