Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Morning.

Chirping birds sang at the treetops, and a green bird flew down from the branches, circling above Yue Country Park.

Rumble~

Li Yu and the others drove out of the park.

Third Uncle and his group set out earlier, flying a helicopter to the north of Kun City half an hour ago.

Embarking on the return journey, everyone’s mood was quite good.

Days of combat, unable to relax day or night, had lasted nearly a month, leaving everyone a bit exhausted.

Now, finally on their way back, they didn’t seem so tired anymore, smiles filled their faces.

From Yue Country to Kun City, it’s only a four to five-hour journey.

They expected to arrive at the northern holiday park of Kun City by noon.

....

Oil City.

Feng Wei and Chen Er, seeking cooperation, arrived with seven to eight vehicles and dozens of people from Southern Paradise, ten kilometers outside Oil City.

"Just up ahead, ten kilometers further is Oil City," Feng Wei seemed to be in a bad mood and spoke to the nearby Chen Er.

Chen Er wore a black hat, appearing calm and poised.

Feng Wei had reasons for his displeasure; Mr. Hu rejected his original plan. Feng Wei thought they should simply eliminate the forces in Oil City. Instead of spending efforts on cooperation, they could take it over and never worry about oil again.

Yet, they were forced to seek cooperation!

Chen Er pondered and then said to Feng Wei, "Let’s drive one vehicle over. The others stay here; you lead the way."

Feng Wei widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Just one car? What if they’re not friendly and wipe us out? No way! I absolutely refuse; I won’t take such a risk with you."

Chen Er frowned and used Mr. Hu to pressure him.

"Wei, it’s an order from Mr. Hu. If too many of us go, it might cause misunderstandings. Mr. Hu instructed us not to antagonize this faction."

"Hey! You’ve patrolled around here; Oil City isn’t as formidable as you think. It’s just this small area. What are you afraid of?"

Chen Er’s expression wasn’t good; he felt that a faction capable of eliminating the Motorcycle Gang and the slippery Old Ghost wasn’t simple.

Acting rashly before understanding the situation would bring destructive consequences to the Southern Paradise they painstakingly built.

"Mr. Hu said to follow my lead on this mission; are you going against his orders?"

"Hmph!"

Feng Wei sneered but said nothing further.

He reluctantly followed Chen Er’s instructions.

Muttering under his breath.

"Treating a chicken feather as an arrow, acting like he’s someone important."

"If not for Mr. Hu, I’d ignore you. Damn it."

...

Chen Er, overhearing Feng Wei’s muttering, showed traces of anger but said nothing.

Overall interests were paramount.

Completing Mr. Hu’s mission was crucial.

It wasn’t an appropriate time to clash with Feng Wei.

The mission had two goals: understand Oil City’s background and strength, and establish friendly cooperative exchanges, trading Southern Paradise’s supplies for Oil City’s oil.

Southern Paradise had developed steadily thus far.

Southern Paradise had its advantage by owning a few pharmaceutical factories, with their warehouse stocked with medicines.

Food was scarce, but internally, they had enough.

Weapon-wise, they had some guns, ammunition, and machine guns along with limited heavy firepower primarily for defense.

Yet, their most urgent shortage was energy.

In the world of doomsday, natural disasters were incessant, and solar energy alone was insufficient.

Moreover, most vehicles ran on fuel; without it, they were confined to the Jinling area, lacking the capacity to search for resources in farther regions.

Antibiotics were Southern Paradise’s bargaining chip for cooperation with Oil City.

Chen Er and Feng Wei got into a car, slowly heading towards Oil City.

They carried a loudspeaker to avoid misunderstandings; they would speak through it once outside Oil City.

This way, if Oil City attacked them, they wouldn’t be too close to retreat safely.

...

Inside Oil City.

Dong Tai walked in from outside and said to Xiao Jun, "Captain Xiao, some cooperative personnel saw strangers arriving a few days ago; this morning, we received word that they’ve approached us again."

"Are the mortars and heavy cannons prepared?" Xiao Jun asked with a frown.

"They’re ready long ago; looking ahead and soon transporting oil back to Big Camphor Tree Base, this is not the time for incidents," Dong Tai said nervously.

Xiao Jun sighed and said:

"We’re temporarily postponing oil transport; I’ve just reported this to Mr. Li at Big Camphor Tree Base, and he advised us to watch and wait. Old Bi and Xiao Hu haven’t come over yet."

"Also, Director Li and his team are on a mission outside and will return in a few days. Some refugees have arrived around Big Camphor Tree Base, causing instability."

Mr. Li suggests we hold on, reporting any situation back to them."

Dong Tai nodded and said:

"Understood, but according to feedback from cooperative personnel, there aren’t many people coming. With our strength, we should handle it without issue."
