Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 99 - 92: Return to Base
Part-time workers came over to help load the items onto the vehicle, and the women nearby also came over to move things. Soon, all the supplies were loaded onto the truck.
Li Yu looked at Teacher Liu and Song Min and said, "Get on the car, we can give you a lift."
Song Min nodded her head, called everyone, and got on the vehicle without any hesitation.
Li Yu didn't ride with them. Song Min and the others were in another vehicle, sitting silently with the part-time workers.
They quickly arrived at the outskirts of the County.
From a distance, everyone saw a large cluster of buildings. This area used to be an industrial plant, with many electronics factories, garment factories, and some building materials wholesale markets.
The vehicles traveled from the asphalt road to the concrete road, and then to some uneven concrete roads.
With the advent of the apocalypse, this place was desolate; it used to be full of workers.
But after the apocalypse, there were hardly any people to be seen.
Near the edge of this cluster of buildings, everyone saw a row of connected buildings that had 8 floors, with a yard in front. Although the yard was not tall, it was nearly 2 meters in height, with an area of about 50 square meters.
Around this building, there were no other structures within 20 meters, making it the tallest building in this area.
Outside the courtyard, there was a silver metal gate that was wide open.
As they approached, Li Yu saw that inside the gate, weeds were overgrowing; the months after the apocalypse had caused the plants to grow rapidly. Through the gate, one could vaguely sense an air of decay and desolation.
Li Yu tapped the shoulder of Li Tie in front, signaling him to stop the vehicle.
After getting out of the car, Li Yu saw Song Min and the others also alighting.
Li Yu asked Song Min and the others, "What do you think of this place?"
Song Min carefully examined the building in front of her and felt it was really good. First, it wasn't far from the main transportation routes, second, there was an enclosed yard, and third, there were no surrounding buildings taller than it.
Most importantly, she didn't know which wealthy person had built this small building, but it looked well decorated from the outside, and probably wouldn't be too bad inside either.
After discussing with her sisters, they all agreed that the place was very nice.
Song Min walked up to Li Yu and said, "Thank you very much, we are all very satisfied. We'll move our things ourselves now."
Looking at the sky, it was getting late, but the remnants of the sunset still lingered.
Li Yu directed the workers to help unload the items.
After unloading and placing them at the entrance, he nodded to Song Min then glanced at the building with narrowed eyes, and said, "That building should be good, but before moving in, search it to make sure there are no Zombies. I'm leaving now."
Song Min nodded; she understood the principle. Previously, when they lived in the center of the County, they often had to go out to find supplies, and sometimes they searched various houses, occasionally encountering Zombies hiding in dark corners.
Having encountered them many times, Song Min and the others had developed their own methods to defend against sneaky Zombie attacks.
Li Yu watched as the items had been set down, then turned back.
He saw the composed man and the young man from the group they had encountered earlier.
Li Yu didn't kill the two of them. If what the composed man had said was true, then he hadn't harmed Zhao Dapao's family, and this composed man was quite obedient.
So he spared their lives for the moment, as they might be useful later on when going to Weng City.
However, their eyes were covered with black cloth, and Li Gang and Zhao Dapao were watching them closely.

Li Yu turned back, waved to Song Min and the others who were looking at them, and stepped onto the vehicle.
Homecoming!
The sky was already dimming, and plotting revenge on the city center required careful planning—not something that could be achieved impulsively. Besides, it wasn't too far away. 80 kilometers.
First, they had to return home to thoroughly discuss and devise a strategy. Once the plan was set, they would set out!
The vehicles faced the setting sun, the convoy growing ever more distant.
Song Qi stopped what she was doing and watched their vehicles disappear into the distance, feeling reluctant to see them go.
Song Min, beside her, patted her on the head and said, "Hurry up and move the stuff. It'll be too late if we delay, and the zombies will all come out."
Song Qi did not respond.
Song Min patted her again and asked, "What's wrong?"
With a touch of sadness, Song Qi said, "Sister, when can I be as strong as them? I want to join them. If I'm with them, I won't be bullied. They are actually quite nice people."
Hearing this, Song Min sighed softly and said, "I've thought about this too, but they haven't invited us. It's good as it is now. At least, we should be friends, right? Hmm, I consider him a friend, but I don't know how they see us."
Then she added somewhat perplexedly, "I can't figure them out."
....
However, Li Yu had no idea what they were talking about; at that moment, he was speeding along the national highway in the evening glow.
Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, there were few vehicles on the road due to the day and night issues. After the outbreak, each time Li Yu and his group came to the county, they would clear the road of vehicles.
After several trips, the road was becoming more and more passable. In fact, without other vehicles on the road, Li Yu and his group could drive faster than before the apocalypse.
In no time at all, Li Yu and his group arrived at the base.
As the gate of Weng City opened, Second Uncle was delighted to see some medical equipment and supplies on their vehicles. However, when he saw two men with their eyes covered being brought down from another vehicle,
he became suddenly vigilant and asked Li Yu, "Who are these two?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu recounted everything that had happened in the county to him.
Second Uncle nodded his head, glanced at Zhao Dapao, sighed, and finally said, "You mean, next you're planning to go to the city center?"
Li Yu nodded.
Second Uncle's expression grew stern and he said, "They have guns. Even if, as they say, they don't have many, it's still guns. And they have so many people. It will be quite dangerous for you to go there."
Li Yu said, "Dapao has been with the base for a while now, and he even protected Third Uncle and others on their way back. He's taken risks with us during this period and never complained once. He treats us like family, and we should help him."
Second Uncle's face showed a hint of conflict, but eventually, he said nothing.
Seeing Second Uncle's expression, Li Yu said, "Don't worry, I always act thoughtfully. I won't make a move until I've thoroughly assessed the enemy's strength. If I do act, it means I am one hundred percent confident in resolving the issue."
Second Uncle, remembering the way Li Yu always handled things, felt more at ease.
So he said no more.
The two men were taken by Li Tie and Yang Tianlong to a small house next to the breeding farm.
The house was still vacant and had an iron door; locking them in seemed feasible.
Therefore, Li Yu personally tied up both of their hands and feet, finally gagging their mouths and keeping their eyes covered with black cloth.
After securing the iron door tightly shut, he briefed the personnel on duty in the surveillance room to keep a close watch on any movements here.
Still feeling it wasn't secure enough, he asked Third Uncle to come over and keep an eye on them.
