Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 265 - 257: A Close Call without Danger

After descending the mountain, Uncle and his team were able to drive much faster.

Although it rained yesterday, the ground had mostly dried up overnight.

In the cold wind, everyone closed their car windows.

...

Atop the old house mountain, Li Yu and his team waited on the spot. They didn't have many people and needed to prevent others from coming, so they blocked the cave entrance.

Rui Tong, Song Min, Wang Cheng, Li Yu, and Li Hang were bored on the mountaintop.

Li Yu simply took out an assortment of weapons and introduced them to everyone, instructing them on how to use each one.

Everyone was very interested, but it was not convenient to test fire the weapons there, or they certainly would have given it a try.

As the explanations continued, time slowly passed.

...

Viewed from above, Harmony Garden was to the east, the base in the center.

The old house mountain was to the west, with forestry filling the space between the mountain and the base.

Many sections of this national highway cut through the middle of mountains.

Many were through tunnels, where one might occasionally encounter zombies.

So every time they passed through a tunnel, they always turned on the lights, or it would be pitch black and impossible to see anything clear.

It had been three hours since Uncle and the others left the old house mountain, but in order to save time, everyone mostly ate in the car.

Suddenly, Li Tie braked sharply in the tunnel.

Squeal~

The following cars all slowed down in time, avoiding a collision.

But in the first car, Uncle, who was in the passenger seat, nearly hit the windshield.

Luckily he was wearing his seatbelt, or he would have been injured for sure.

"What happened?" Uncle asked Li Tie with a mix of alarm and confusion.

"Uncle, that person over there seems to be alive..." Li Tie said somewhat awkwardly.

Uncle was at a loss for words, wondering what had influenced his thoughts at the moment:

A living person?

Why not just hit them, after all...

Uncle suddenly snapped out of it, wondering when he'd become so cold-blooded. Thinking this, he realized he had changed too much, as Li Yu often muttered by his side: family first, everyone else outside is just a bunch of bad people.

This influence was somewhat significant.

Uncle shook his head; even though these were apocalyptic times requiring vigilance, human life shouldn't be treated with contempt.

So he said to Li Tie, "No problem, let me check the situation."

The person opposite was tall, wearing tattered black stockings. They were just a bit far away to see the person's true face clearly.

So Uncle rolled down the car window a little, and after rolling it down, he heard the person opposite saying, "My name is Yang Xuan, my name is Yang Xuan, I come from HanX, I'm looking for my wife, where are you, wife?"

Upon hearing this voice, Uncle's body went numb.

Li Tie sitting beside him also went numb.

The man's voice was robust, very masculine, only somewhat deranged.

Wearing black stockings? Wearing a Superman costume on the outside, but repeating these words continuously, in a particularly masculine tone.

His voice echoed continuously, giving Uncle and the others the creeps.

Uncle and Li Tie exchanged glances, guessing that the man's mental state must be disturbed.

In this place, without car headlights illuminating, they would not be able to see other people clearly.

Suddenly, Uncle saw a shadow appear behind the man and yelled out, "Watch out!"

No sooner had Uncle shouted, the man in black stockings was bitten on the neck by a zombie emerging from behind.

Crack!

The man's fresh blood spattered onto his black stocking-covered legs.

Under the illumination of the lights, it was strikingly grotesque.

"Ah... Just run him over, he can't be saved," Uncle said.

With that, he drove the car forward, and the man and the zombie were struck and sent flying.

Li Tie and Uncle felt very uncomfortable; this man must have experienced a severe trauma to have ended up in such a state.

This tunnel was long, taking nearly 5 minutes to drive through.

As they neared the end of the tunnel, they saw a thin, bony female corpse lying at the roadside exit.

They hadn't seen this body on their way in, perhaps it was that man's wife.

It was pitiable.

In times of chaos, there are always all kinds of tragedies, but they could only look after themselves.

Facing such situations, they were powerless to help.

This trip, aside from this small episode, they encountered no other incidents. free𝑤ebnovel.com

They sped along, everyone concentrating on driving.

The firearms on the car were of utmost importance.

They were crucial for their future.

Soon, they reached a gas station on the national highway, where Uncle immediately reported everything to Second Uncle over the intercom.

Doing so, they could save some time.

They arrived safely in Weng City, where everyone from the base came out to meet them.

Dozens of people gathered around joyously.

Everyone was eager to go down and check, but the base's rules couldn't be broken; they had to wait for ten minutes.

After ten minutes, Second Uncle and the others went down, followed by Third Uncle.

Opening the trunk of the car, they saw it filled to the brim with firearms and ammunition.

Third Uncle picked up a sniper rifle, his face showing a simple and domineering smile.

Old friend, we meet again.

Not much was said over the intercom, but the gist was conveyed.

Now, Uncle continued, "We found over a thousand firearms at the old house mountain, plus a million bullets. Right now, we've only transported back a quarter. There's still more we need to transport back quickly."

"Li Yu and the others are still waiting there. Let's unload quickly and then take some people back," Uncle said after catching his breath.

"Alright! Let's store these firearms in the underground warehouse for now. We can keep the well-preserved ones in those square basement spaces. Let's unload them first. After unloading, you guys head back, so you can return before nightfall," Second Uncle said.

Apart from a few on-duty personnel, every person in the base pitched in, but because firearms and ammunition were so important, Li Yuan and Li Yu's mother meticulously inventoried every single weapon.

Ensuring each one was registered, with no omissions.

With everyone's effort, it took less than half an hour to transfer all the boxes off the trucks.

Uncle and the others took a breath, drank some water,

then took three workers from the base, plus the optimistic Xiao Han and Teacher Liu, and set off again with Lai Dongsheng.

Initially, Third Uncle also wanted to come, but as there were a few key combatants needed at the base, he gave up upon Uncle's persuasion.

In total, the base had only six heavy trucks and one minibus and one truck available.

Eleven people in eight empty trucks began their trip back to the old house mountain.
