Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus
Chapter 513 - 479: Elbow, Close the Door (2 in 1)_2

Li Yu's large hand covered.

Spring had arrived, marking the season of animal breeding.

The mattress Li Yu slept on was bought at a high price; a mattress costing tens of thousands, offering strong support and lacking that sinking feeling in the waist when slept on.

That night, the mattress was nearly wrecked.

The next morning, contrary to his usual habits, Li Yu didn't get up early for physical exercise.

A beam of sunshine hit the room, shining on that graceful and enchanting body.

Under the sunshine, it shimmered brilliantly.

Li Yu covered her with the blanket, then got up and drank a glass of water.

Then he returned under the blanket.

"Ah, you're back! Spare me, please, I really can't..." Yutong pleaded for mercy.

Spring mornings were perfect for reading, an excellent time for knowledge acquisition and growth.

That morning, Li Yu also indulged himself.

It was all because the enemy's tactics were too cunning, rendering him unable to stop.

That day, Li Yu didn't get up until almost noon. As soon as he did and reached the dining room, his fourth uncle found him.

"The Qin guy who arrived yesterday brought people over early in the morning to finish the lathe installation. Your Second Uncle took them there. Go check it out when you have time," said Fourth Uncle.

Li Yu slapped his forehead, having completely forgotten about it.

But now in the middle of the day, neither he nor another had eaten breakfast, and he was extremely hungry. It was time to feed the inner temple—his belly.

Besides, Second Uncle and the others were there, so he was just going to take a look.

With that thought, Li Yu was no longer in a hurry and decided to eat first.

As the base population grew, many areas had been expanded, much like the current dining area, which had also been enlarged.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yu strolled towards Weng City, located between the Inner City and Outer City, to see the neatly arranged lathes and Third Uncle communicating with Old Qin and others.

Standing next to Third Uncle was Bai Jie, who seemed to have said something that made Third Uncle's face light up with joy.

"What's the good news that makes you so happy, Third Uncle?" Li Yu walked over and asked.

"Director Li."

"Director Li."

Old Qin and Bai Jie both greeted Li Yu.

Pointing to Bai Jie, Third Uncle said, "I never expected Bai Jie to understand chemistry. After discussing with her, she knows how to mix gunpowder scientifically to create smokeless bullets. It's really great!"

Hearing this, Li Yu also showed a look of delight on his face. Yesterday Third Uncle had just mentioned this problem, and now someone had been found to solve it.

Li Yu looked at Bai Jie with joy and said, "Bai Jie, well done, you'll be credited with a merit!"

Bai Jie's crush on Li Yu had never faded; seeing him praise her now, she said with a sweet smile, "Then may I make a request?"

Li Yu said with a smile, "Say it. As long as I can do it, I will."

A triumphant look appeared on Bai Jie's face—as if her schemes had succeeded. This time, how could Li Yu escape? She was determined to right past humiliations.

After taking initiatives so many times and being rejected every time, she had started to doubt her life's prospects.

Initially, she merely admired Li Yu, but gradually her feelings had developed into something akin to affection.

However, Li Yu's disregard for her only fueled her competitive nature, and after being rejected time and again, she was nearly obsessed, falling deeper and deeper.

Bai Jie was young, but her stunning figure often made people overlook her professional competence.

Bai Jie said with a smile, "Then it's a promise. I haven't thought of anything yet, I'll tell you when I do."

Li Yu nodded, not seeing any particular issue with that.

Then he turned his head and said to Uncle Qin, "Uncle Qin, how is your stay over there? Are you doing well?"

Uncle Qin smiled and replied, "Pretty good. Being in the countryside, far from the city, there are indeed far fewer zombies."

Li Yu said, "That's good. Also, as Second Uncle probably already mentioned to you, the reason we moved these lathes back is because we want to be able to produce our own bullets.

Being able to produce them ourselves, we need this manufacturing process, and you all have experience. You can come help with the production, and of course, this will also be included in the Contribution Points." This chapter was first seen on NovelFire.

Uncle Qin didn't refuse and readily agreed, "No problem. We can do this."

The equipment was already set up, and some raw materials had also been collected.

They could start production now, so after discussing the next steps in bullet production with Third Uncle, Li Yu left Weng City.

When leaving Weng City, Bai Jie insisted on seeing him out. At the corner entering the gate, Bai Jie looked at him with a strange expression.

Recalling the matter he had just agreed to with Bai Jie, he now felt it was an ominous sign.

Forget it, Li Yu shook his head. Seeing Bai Jie, who turned to wave at him, he did not respond but simply left Weng City straightaway.

After returning to the Inner City of the base, Li Yu started thinking about the prison in Northern Province.

As he was pondering, he found himself walking towards the gymnasium of the base.

Construction of this gymnasium had been ongoing for some time, with work being temporarily halted whenever there were other pressing matters.

Gradually, the construction was nearing completion. Father Li, Ding Jiu, and the workers were mainly responsible for building the gymnasium.

Others would also help when they had the time.

The gymnasium was neither too big nor too small, occupying roughly 800 square meters. In the center, there was a basketball court, with running tracks around it, and then several ping-pong tables.

A standard basketball court takes up about 400 square meters. People could play badminton or half-court basketball there.

"Dad, it looks like the gymnasium is almost done. When can we officially start using it?" Li Yu asked his father.

Upon seeing Li Yu, Father Li took off his hat and replied, "In the next couple of days. Last time, the basketball court equipment that Second Uncle asked us to find has also been brought in. Somehow, He Chao and the others found two brand-new bases.

They even procured extra bases and hoops, so in fact, we could set up a basketball court in the Outer City as well.

It doesn't need to be too complicated; there's already a concrete area in front of the buildings in the Outer City. It's just sitting there unused; might as well set up a couple of basketball stands, giving everyone another way to relax."

Li Yu liked his father's suggestion and responded, "Sounds good. I'll mention it to He Chao tomorrow when I see him. We can just move it over and set it up."

Father Li nodded, then thought for a moment and added, "Should we set up a shooting range? Before, everyone trained their gun and crossbow skills directly on the wall top.

Should we create a dedicated area in the base for training?"

Li Yu shook his head, "The walls themselves are the shooting ranges. If one can fight in real combat, there's no need for drills; if one can kill zombies, there's no need to shoot at lifeless straw men."

Father Li, agreeing with Li Yu's point, decided not to dwell on it anymore.

Nowadays, Father Li and Ding Jiu were primarily responsible for construction within the base, which included repairing and expanding the base walls, as well as enlarging the moats outside the walls.

Therefore, Father Li and He Chao had been interacting quite a bit recently.

Just stepping out from the direction of the gymnasium, Li Yu encountered a group of over twenty children of varying ages.

There were Xuanxuan, Li Peizhen, some other cousins around ten years old, as well as He Chao's daughter Xiao Ya...

Leading the group were Uncle, Dapao, Li Tie, and others. Today was the children's outdoor real-combat training day.

Except in special circumstances, at least once a month, they would be taken outside the base to see the outside world.

This included how to quickly eliminate zombies, how to hide and find cover outside, and how to use firearms.

However, before each outing, Uncle and others would always clear the area near the base first; these were the future of the base, and they could not afford any loss.

Every time they went out, there had to be at least five adults leading the group, mostly led by Uncle or Third Uncle.

The places they ventured to were not far from the base.

The base itself was cleverly situated, with deep mountains and forests to the rear and a country road to the front, leading to the national highway if you walked a few hundred meters further.

This allowed them to gather different kinds of information.

Seeing Uncle leading the group out, Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll join in this time."

Previously, Li Yu never had the time to participate, but there's no better day than now, and today he could find the time to check it out.

Uncle naturally had no reason to refuse and happily agreed.
