Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1197 - 741: Attraction

Ten minutes later, Li Yu and the others gathered around the drone's screen to look down.

A massive base came into view; if the drone hadn't ascended high enough, it wouldn't have been able to fully capture the base below.

They had long heard from Wayne that the Western Alliance was vast, spanning thousands of acres, comparable to a large university before Doomsday.

But when they saw it for themselves, they were still taken aback by the scale of the Western Alliance.

After witnessing such a vast area, they fell into silence for a moment.

To create such a large area, perhaps only the Gan Group before Doomsday could have invested enormous sums to build it.

However, they underestimated the brutality and danger of Doomsday.

According to Wayne, there used to be tens of thousands of people in the Western Alliance, with survivors from various places joining a little over a year ago.

However, with the threat of zombie-rain and the internal food crisis, coupled with repeated natural disasters, it gradually declined.

The major forces inside left, and now it's solely controlled by the Gan Family.

"Zoom in. I want to see their walls," Li Yu pointed to the east side of the walls and said to Li Tie.

Li Tie immediately zoomed in on that area.

After zooming in, they clearly saw that the Western Alliance's walls were only five to six meters high.

This height is even shorter than the initial height of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

It seems that they didn't bother to add more height afterwards.

The drone hovered high above, and Li Yu took out a piece of paper and sketched a rough map of the Western Alliance.

Then, Dapao brought Wayne over and had him identify each building on the screen, explaining their purposes.

Wayne swallowed hard; ever since being caught by Dapao and the others, he understood one thing: he was going to die eventually, but before dying, he no longer wanted to endure inhumane torture.

Gan Hu had a hard mouth, which led to inhumane treatment and eventually death.

Wayne's eyes were red as he pointed to the central five-story building Dapao indicated and said, "That place is Gan Xiong's office. He originally stayed in the small courtyard nearby, but after the rain and flooding, he moved to that five-story building."

"And here?" Li Yu pointed to the tallest building and asked.

"Water Tower."

"Where's your granary?" Li Yu inquired.

"To the right, yes, to the right, a bit lower. Yes, that bunker-like building with a dozen people standing around is the Western Alliance's warehouse."

......

Through inquiries and the drone footage, they figured out the situation inside the Western Alliance.

The drone ascended to two or three hundred meters, looking very small; without a telescope, the drone wouldn't be bigger than an ant.

But to prevent the drone from being discovered, it could be dangerous if someone casually looks up at the sky.

So, after clarifying the Western Alliance's internal buildings, Li Yu instructed Li Tie to bring the drone back, hovering a hundred meters above their heads.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Li Tie asked, putting the operational console on the table after suspending the drone.

Li Yu stretched his arm and said to Li Tie, "You and Dapao stand guard, let others sleep, we'll switch with you later. Action at midnight."

Suddenly, he added, "Dapao, Tianlong, in the evening, go and cover our vehicles with the zombie-camouflaging cloth in the back trunk, just like a few days ago."

"Got it."

During Doomsday, some people came up with strange ways to resist zombies.

Some cleverly thought of using zombie flesh and blood, smearing it on their clothes as camouflage, confusing zombies on whether the person was one of them or a human.

This approach carries significant risks; sometimes zombies might notice, sometimes they might not.

It requires extreme mental resilience; once someone gets nervous and runs, it's easy for zombies to spot them.

This method had been used by Li Yu and his team.

It was generally used when camping outside.

Later, after encountering the Corpse Speaker, Li Yu and his team were inspired to develop an entire set of camouflage clothing.

The results were quite promising.

Later on, Li Yu handed this project to Bai Jie and others.

They developed a liquid that's even less likely to be detected by zombies, simply pour a layer of this liquid on a waterproof cloth.

When inside the car, covered with this waterproof cloth, if one doesn't move recklessly or make noises, zombies generally won't be drawn over.

Test verified at the base.

In Weng City, a car covered with this cloth was placed among several zombies, and the zombies did not pay attention to the people inside.

Only when there was noise from the car did these zombies become attracted.

Of course, there's another situation where the camouflage cloth easily fails.

That's when it rains, once it rains heavily enough to wash off the camouflaging cloth, zombies will still find traces of humans.

This thing is useful but also has limitations.

......

Li Yu stretched lazily after giving instructions, then went to the back and fell asleep.

Time passed bit by bit.

When Li Yu woke up, it was already six in the evening.

The sun was setting, the dusk glow lingering.

Dapao and Yang Tianlong got off the car at this moment, covering the vehicle with the camouflage cloth.

With this layer of camouflage cloth, the car looked somewhat grotesque.

Li Yu sat up in bed, walked to the central sofa area, and poured himself a glass of water, drinking it slowly.

Suddenly, he saw Gan Long and Wayne tied up like dumplings beside him.

Gan Long had only drunk water once in the past few days and was already so thirsty he lost consciousness. Wayne was slightly better, but hadn't eaten in five days, and was also delirious with hunger, his eyes closed.

"Gangzi." Li Yu suddenly called out to Li Gang.

Li Gang turned his head, looking at Li Yu.

Li Yu slowly extended his right hand, making a throat-slitting gesture across his neck, then glanced towards Wayne and them.

Once the enhanced Zombie Attraction Potion is released tonight, zombies will surely pass by on the road.

The vehicle must remain completely silent, and these two are an uncertain factor.

They've all reached this point, and these two are no longer necessary, leaving them only adds trouble.

After seeing Li Yu's gesture,

Li Gang understood instantly.

Then, he got off the vehicle, asking Yang Tianlong to assist in getting the two out.

Wayne, with his eyes half-closed, felt someone push him up, but he was too weak to stand.

Seeing this, Li Gang had to support him and move him outside the vehicle.

After getting off the vehicle and taking only a few steps, Li Yu poked his head out of the vehicle and said to him, "Go a bit further, near the trees over there should be good. Don't let them bleed."

The roadside trees opposite the road were about a hundred meters away from them.

The bodies can't be too close; if they die in the car and there's blood, it will be troublesome.

Wayne seemed to sense death approaching,

struggling to escape, but he was already weak from hunger, with no strength left.

Gan Long was even worse, unconscious from thirst, barely hanging by a thread.

If one didn't put a hand under his nose to feel his breath, they'd think he was already dead.

Dapao and Li Gang carried them under the roadside trees and killed them without spilling blood.

Afterward, they hid the bodies in the bushes and quickly returned to the vehicle. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Li Yu nodded, watching the sun sink lower until it completely disappeared.

"Drive the car into that yard on the right," Li Yu said to Li Tie.

They were situated at the road's edge.

Only a dozen meters from the road, with a five-story residential building a few meters behind them.

They were parked against the side wall of the building.

Ahead of their parked vehicle, turning right was a small courtyard.

The courtyard was open; one could go straight to the end and turn left to reach the main entrance of the building.

It resembled a "回" shaped structure.

They parked by the roadside to avoid being discovered by the Western Alliance, to quickly leave the road if needed.

But now that the sun had set and darkness was falling, they probably wouldn't appear again.

Thus, they needed to hide further from the road to avoid numerous zombies.

Li Tie started the car and drove it to the yard's left side, where the building blocked the view, preventing zombies from directly seeing their vehicle.

Li Tie turned the car around so that if discovered by zombies, they could leave directly from the courtyard without reversing.

After turning around, Li Yu watched as darkness swiftly enveloped the sky.

He retrieved a long rope from the vehicle, got out, and wrapped it around the entrance three times.

At two meters, one meter, and half a meter height he wrapped once each.

This rope wouldn't stop vehicles, but it could delay zombies somewhat; though if they gathered, it would be useless.

The intention was, during the midnight release of the enhanced Zombie Attraction Potion, to block some zombies from entering as masses roamed nearby.

Having done all this, Li Yu quickly returned to the car.

Before closing the door, they lowered the camouflage fabric over the car doors.

Inside the vehicle.

Dapao rubbed his shoulder, saying to Li Yu, "Brother Yu, Tiezi and I are going to sleep. Wake us before the action."

Li Yu nodded, letting them rest first.

The past few days, they had rotated rest times, never missing any chance to sleep.

Li Yu quietly calculated, knowing zombies moved slowly when it didn't rain, taking three hours to cover ten kilometers.

To reach enough zombies to attack the Western Alliance required a massive number.

Action time was set at midnight after careful consideration.

If too early, the space-dropped enhanced Zombie Attraction Potion risked being detected.

If too late, not enough zombies would be drawn before dawn.

So it was set at midnight.

They also carefully planned the drop point, choosing the Liu Family's former site from which the Western Alliance had retreated,

where Wayne said had previously been flooded, without accessible rooftops.

Today's drone survey confirmed it was indeed uninhabited.

They ultimately chose it.

Time slowly passed, and before they knew it, midnight arrived.
