Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1243 - 761: Bai Jie Has Important Matters to Discuss [5000-Word Super - ]

Guang City.

Evening.

The setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon red, with a faint blue sky along their edges.

Vegetation thrived, even growing on tall buildings, growing wildly and without restraint.

In the steel jungle, some trees and bushes had grown due to lack of maintenance, now overtaking the pathways.

In fact, a park in the distance had its paths completely obscured by thriving greenery.

The rustling of insects brought a hint of life to the world.

But with only insect calls and the absence of busy traffic, the place felt even more desolate and vast.

Suddenly, the sound of tires crushing sand could be heard.

Bam!

Zhu Xiao closed the forklift door, dusted off his hands, and said to Third Uncle, "General Captain, all the steel is loaded onto the truck. I've just checked, it's all empty."

Third Uncle leaned against the car's hood, gazed at the sunset, and upon hearing Zhu Xiao's words, turned his head and smiled, "Thanks for your hard work."

Zhu Xiao shook his head, about to speak, when Xiao Hu approached with a few others.

"General Captain, we just checked again, all the walls are intact, no issues,"

Xiao Hu said as he walked over.

Ever since zombies broke in during the middle of the night last time, they always checked the entire wall and buildings whenever they stayed overnight, taking precautions to prevent mistakes.

Especially since they'd be spending the night here, doing a check during the day could prevent a lot of trouble at night, allowing them to have a secure rest.

Seeing everyone moving easily, Third Uncle nodded, "Alright, everyone rest early tonight. We'll head back first thing in the morning, then it'll be the end of this task."

They had traveled back and forth four times, with only one break in between, and were already quite exhausted.

Now they finally awaited the end.

Zhu Xiao and Xiao Hu, faces lit with excitement, knew that this return trip meant the end of their test, and they would soon have a result.

They were eagerly anticipating.

Meanwhile, Xu Chengcai was chatting with Xiao Jun.

The two nephews hadn't seen each other for a long time before the doomsday, but could meet after, making their bond even stronger. They cherished their found family.

Whoosh!

The sound of an arrow shooting through the air echoed.

Pop!

A white pigeon, pinned to a tree trunk by an arrow.

Ant put down his crossbow, smiling, and slowly walked to the tree beside the path.

Guo Peng and the others expressed astonishment.

"Brother Ant, you're so precise! Teach me!"

"This must be the fourth bird Brother Ant hit, truly amazing."

"His spear skills and accuracy, truly worthy of being a special soldier."

.....

Ant went to the tree, lightly lifted his foot, and pulled out the arrow that pierced through the pigeon.

Looks like tonight we could roast some pigeon.

Ant, pleased, returned to Third Uncle and the others with the pigeon.

Placing the crossbow beside him, he skillfully plucked the pigeon and said to Third Uncle, "Captain, should be able to return tomorrow, right? All the steel is loaded."

Third Uncle said, "Yes, we'll go back tomorrow. With so much steel, the base shouldn't lack any for a long time."

Ant smiled and said, "Alright, once we return, I'll have Central China give me another cupping session. Haven't seen Xiao Hei in a while, I wonder if He Chao is taking good care of it." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Don't worry, He Chao handles things reliably," Third Uncle said with a faint smile.

In the glowing sunset, they finished loading all the remaining steel, some sat by the roadside nibbling on dry rations, others drank water, and some rested in the vehicles early...

Night fell.

Amidst the calls of owls, came the howls of zombies.

Ant, reminiscing about the boiled pigeon soup from dinner, boasted to Old Qin, "Old Qin, my cooking's not bad, right?"

Old Qin picked his teeth and said, "Not bad, just a little small. Next time, catch more. Not enough to fill the teeth even."

Beside him, Xu Chengcai chuckled, "Just having some is good enough. Alright, I'm going on duty, you guys rest first."

Saying this, Xu Chengcai stepped out of the RV for his shift.

Third Uncle lay on the bed of the RV, staring at the dark car roof, his mind empty, thinking of nothing.

He felt everything now seemed unreal, like a dream.

But he didn't think much, as the base developed thus far, adapting to various conditions, he only needed to do his part well.

......

An uneventful night.

By early the next morning, Third Uncle and others had awakened.

As usual, they ate some breakfast before hitting the road.

At the gates of Guang City, they tossed the door they had welded with steel plates onto the truck.

They wouldn't be returning here anymore, the materials from Guang Steel Factory were cleared out, and the door was no longer needed, might as well take it back, it might be useful.

Dozens of cars, under the rising sun, slowly drove northward.

About two hours after they left, suddenly a vehicle stopped at the entrance of the steel factory.
