Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 207 - 199: Dealing with the Corpse

Inside the base, Li Hongyuan and several workers were lifting the corpses with forklifts and then transporting them onto trucks.

There were over a thousand corpses, and dealing with them all was an extremely troublesome task.

But even so, they had to be disposed of as quickly as possible.

It was already past 3 p.m., and only half of the corpses had been dealt with; if they weren't dealt with promptly, it would be a disaster come nightfall.

The corpses were being transported to a huge pond a bit far from the base, which used to teem with fish and shrimp, but due to the hot and dry weather, the pond had already dried up completely.

One after another, the corpses were dumped into the pond like unloaded goods.

Under the scorching heat, everyone started to sweat.

Even with masks on, the blood odor could not be blocked.

It was too intense.

Everyone worked against the clock, not daring to delay, but during their transport, they also had to consider that some refugees might still be lurking around.

Therefore, each truck had to have one person with a gun on guard.

To prevent any surprise attacks.

The number of corpses gradually decreased.

The bloodstains outside the base could not be completely cleaned and certainly not washed away with water, so they had to use an excavator to dig up the earth underneath, and then a road roller to flatten the dug-up soil.

To cover up the blood contaminated soil.

The same was true in Weng City; because various factors were considered, when Weng City was constructed, cement flooring was not laid, which made this task more convenient now.

In fact, the primary reason for not laying cement flooring was to avoid wasting cement.

The corpses were all transported to the pond far from the base, which was already half-filled.

These bodies could not be left exposed like this; the blood would attract a large number of zombies.

Burying them with soil was a massive project, the simplest method was to burn them with oil.

Third Uncle and several others took a large barrel of gasoline from the base's tanker truck and poured it over the corpses.

Then they lit a match and threw it into the pile of corpses.

Whoosh!

The corpses instantly caught fire.

Fortunately, the surrounding area of the pond was dry and barren, otherwise, it could easily have caught fire too.

Amidst the flames, the sun set in the west.

As night was about to fall, Second Uncle and the others glanced at the mountains and forests behind the pond and squinted their eyes.

They finally got into their vehicles, returning to the base.

Inside the base, Weng City had been plowed through. The ground soil was overturned, and even in such an environment, a faint blood scent could still be discerned.

Second Uncle stood atop Weng City, looking towards the front's forest, the dusk was urgent and chaotic.

Soon after, Third Uncle's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Big brother, we're back, open the gate."

There was a hint of fatigue evident in his voice.

The gate was slowly opened, and Third Uncle along with a few others drove into the base.

After this battle, everyone in the base began to heighten their vigilance.

Third Uncle got off the vehicle and climbed the wall, standing shoulder to shoulder with Second Uncle as they watched the distant forest.

"I wonder how Li Yu and the others are doing now? It's night, and that's not safe," Second Uncle said.

Third Uncle's face didn't show much concern; his two sons had gone together, and after so many years in the military, he was accustomed to being calm in face of incidents.

"Li Yu is right," Third Uncle suddenly said.

Today, many people were killed, so many in fact that it overthrew the values of many; tonight there might be nightmares.

It might also raise doubts over whether Li Yu's decision was the right one.

"So, we need to do ideological work for them." Second Uncle, having heard what Third Uncle said, agreed.

Tonight, on the city walls. The watch is still maintained by 8 people.

After the great battle, we cannot relax all at once. Furthermore, having killed so many people today, it's very possible that zombies will come over.

All of this, they need to remain vigilant for.

…

Inside the base, everyone starts to have their meal.

The food cooked today, just as before, is delicious, but everyone tastes nothing.

Too many were killed today, truly witnessing what it means by, "Killing people like slaughtering chickens."

Second Uncle was also there, seeing that everyone seemed not too willing to talk, silent, in this depressing atmosphere.

Second Uncle spoke up: "Everyone. Perhaps. Some of you are puzzled, why we had to kill them."

Second Uncle's sudden words were like a stone thrown into a still lake.

People raised their heads one after another, turning their gazes toward Second Uncle.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Second Uncle slowly began to say, "Letting them go, they would surround us, having twenty times our number nearby is a huge hidden danger, think about it, if you were attacked while out there, what would you do?"

"Some have said, why not just take them in? I want to ask one question, how would you feed them, take from your own food?"

As soon as these words came out, many remembered the times of hunger, willing to sacrifice friends before themselves.

"Also, you may feel, we killed so many, that's very cold-blooded! But, what the fuck kind of times are these, are we still supposed to talk about kindness?"

Second Uncle's voice was forceful and resounding.

For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, a worker who had joined the base spoke up: "Brother Hongda, we have no qualms, in fact, on the contrary, I think what we did, the decision made by Boss Li Yu, was absolutely correct."

"I only know one thing, the person who saved me, saved my family, was Boss Li Yu. Without him, we would still be livestock, being farmed for food. We are very clear how difficult it is to survive in this apocalypse. So we are grateful."

"Yes, yes, that's right."

"We actually think Boss Li Yu's decision was right."

"We just need some time to accept it."

…

Second Uncle, seeing these people start to speak up in agreement one by one, did not know what to say for a while.

Perhaps he indeed thought too much, yet he had to consider more things, the base cannot be in disarray, nor can the people's hearts.

When people's hearts are in disarray, the team is hard to lead.

Perhaps, it's just that everyone killed too many today, and need some time to accept it.

Night falls, and many are sleepless this evening.

It's a purification of the soul, a sublimation, and all of these will only make them stronger!

In the base, the cattle and sheep seemed to smell the scent of blood, they too were bellowing.

Outside the base, as expected, some zombies came. But they were stopped by the walls of the base, ineffectively knocking against the thick walls.

The duty on the walls was the cheerful and optimistic Xiao Han, who at the moment was also somewhat distracted, thinking: "I wonder how Sister Song and the others are doing now (๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣"

Her round little face, full of worries.

But who would know, after Li Yu gave the order today, she was the second one to open fire.

After killing so many, she was also one of the first to recover.

Just as they say, ferocious yet cute, simple-hearted, but with a ruthless hand.
