Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Li Yu pulled Qingyang aside, glanced at Dongfeng and the others leaving, and awkwardly said, "I wanted to come on my own."

Li Yu looked Qingyang up and down with curiosity and asked, "Why did you want to come over?"

"To help out."

"Can you drive?"

"I can."

"Really?"

"Really can."

Interesting, Qingyang volunteered to come and help, which surprised Li Yu a bit.

"Okay, since you can drive, it’s nice you want to help. But you don’t need to go with them; later you can join Ju Tianrui and the others," Li Yu said.

He had some guesses but wasn’t very certain.

But since Qingyang was already here, he might as well have him stay and help. After all, Qingyang seemed capable and might be useful.

"Alright." Qingyang nodded dumbly.

Then Li Yu pulled him over to have dinner together.

Third Uncle saw Li Yu pulling Qingyang away and didn’t come over to ask specifically, just smiled and refueled the helicopter.

This was only the first trip; there’s a second trip tomorrow.

According to Li Yu’s plan, they would sort out the materials from Myanmar today and tomorrow drive the convoy to Lao Country.

Then Third Uncle would return to the base and meet up with Li Yu over at Lao Country.

This way, they could maximize time usage without delaying things.

The night was deep.

Beyond the tall walls, occasional zombie roars could be heard.

But everyone was already used to these sounds, eating dinner on their own.

The food brought from the base was adequately sufficient for Li Yu and the others to eat for a month.

However, adding the support personnel would make it insufficient, but they found quite a bit of food on the Myanmar side this time, solving the support personnel’s food issue.

Today, Third Uncle and the others took turns driving; Old Qin, Third Uncle, and the others drove for over seven hours.

After all, a round trip takes seven hours.

The vehicle lights illuminated the central clearing where flames were burning.

Some wooden furniture and similar items moved out of the buildings were being burned for lighting.

These pieces of furniture included some high-end wood, but in the doomsday, they weren’t much different from ordinary wood, all being usable as firewood.

In the clearing, there were sparsely scattered people sitting or lying around.

It was September, extremely hot, and being a tropical monsoon climate made it even hotter.

With tall walls and guards around, they were relatively safe here.

Stars twinkled in the sky, filling the night.

In the silent night, the gentle evening breeze slowly blew, taking away the heat.

Li Yu sat on the top of the RV, smoking, watching the night sky.

Sitting next to Li Yu was Qingyang.

Qingyang seemed a bit uncomfortable sitting so high up.

Because he noticed some occasional glances from the central clearing directed at him.

Seeing Qingyang’s uneasiness, Li Yu asked, "Qingyang, what do you think of the Big Camphor Tree Base?"

"Huh? It’s pretty good."

Li Yu glanced at him, knowing he’d say that.

So he asked again, "What’s good about it?"

"Uh... many places are pretty good."

"Be specific."

Qingyang scratched his head, looking up at the night sky, seemingly contemplating seriously.

Li Yu didn’t rush him but calmly awaited his response.

He was curious about Qingyang’s opinion.

Qingyang never lied, and as a cultivator, Li Yu wanted to hear his views on the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Most people from the inner and outer city felt a sense of belonging and recognition toward the Big Camphor Tree Base.

However, every time a group was eliminated, a force wiped out.

Li Yu had wondered if he was being excessive. Of course, he didn’t dwell on it much, usually convinced himself in a few seconds he was right.

After a long time, maybe two minutes, maybe twenty.

Qingyang slowly said, "What does not lose its place will endure, as self-examination reveals one’s clarity, acting within one’s means without losing one’s place, enduring long."

Li Yu held back the urge to slap him.

"Speak plainly."

Li Yu’s expression was annoyed.

"Cough, cough."

"Tao follows nature, act according to one’s means."

"It means doing things within your capacity. At least in the Big Camphor Tree Base, I see that under the current system, it’s relatively fair and has helped many people."

"Even though many cooperative personnel go hungry, there’s not enough ability to help them, so choosing to gradually accumulate power, establish rules, and adapt to them is following the trend, acting in accordance with it, aligning with rationality."

"Protect oneself, act within one’s means, do your utmost, remain unconcerned with reproach. That’s what I can see!"

After hearing Qingyang’s words, Li Yu smiled.

That’s a nice compliment.

I like it.

Acting within one’s capacity involves having sufficient force and food supplies.

People get hungry, and at extreme hunger, people go crazy.

The current four-level rank system is also an act within one’s capacity. Helping others blindly doesn’t lead to gratitude but instead disaster.

Hearing Qingyang’s words put Li Yu in a good mood.

The past half-month had seen quite a few deaths, indirectly through his orders, at least tens of thousands of scammers died, considering the three camps.

"Anything else, keep talking." Li Yu said with a smile, looking at Qingyang.
