Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 281 - 273: Good

Li Yu and the others watched the father and daughter hug each other, feeling somewhat touched inside.

After everyone waited for a while, it was Captain Lv who eventually recovered. He looked at Li Yu and the others, pulled out a smile, and said, "Sorry for the embarrassment."

Then he wiped his eyes and turned to Li Yu to ask, "Director Li, how are my brothers doing now?"

Li Yu gestured towards Xiao Wu who came in with him and said indifferently, "Ask him."

Xiao Wu had actually wanted to talk to the captain all this time, and now he spoke up, "Captain, Xiao Wu and Xiao Huang died at the hands of those people, but everyone else is fine. They are all outside right now."

Upon hearing this, Captain Lv's heart immediately felt much lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his chest.

"It's good that you're all safe, good that you're all safe." Captain Lv was in a daze, but quickly snapped back to reality.

"Xiao Wu, could you step out for a moment? Director Li and I have something to discuss," Captain Lv said.

Xiao Wu nodded and looked at Feifei, who was holding Captain Lv's hand. With a hesitant look, he asked, "Feifei is here, do you want to..."

Feifei, seeing his look, lowered her head and clasped her father's hand tightly, "Daddy, I don't want to be separated from you."

Captain Lv was also conflicted. Li Yuan was generally mild-mannered, but became particularly assertive when it came to protecting patients. Captain Lv wasn't sure if Doctor Li would agree to let his daughter stay with him.

Still, he asked in a pleasing tone, "Doctor Li, could you see if it's possible for my daughter to stay here so I can spend more time with her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lv Zifei looked at Li Yuan with her large, pitiful black eyes.

Li Yuan chuckled as he looked at the father and daughter, and said, "Alright, but the child should not stay here at night. You have a wound, and children have lower immunity. It's not quite appropriate to stay in the medical room."

She thought for a moment and then addressed the young girl, "Feifei, right? You stay with your dad for now, and you can sleep with me tonight, ok?"

Feifei knew this was the person who had helped her dad. Seeing this gentle-looking sister, she nodded and said, "Okay."

"Good job, Feifei!" Li Yuan said.

With that topic settled, Captain Lv became more serious. He looked at Li Yu sincerely and said, "Director Li, you've been helping us all along, and we're truly grateful. Several times, it was your help that we needed."

"Actually, we've wanted to join you for a while, but we never dared to speak up because we owed too much. Now, I want to ask you if we could join you? We will definitely abide by your rules here."

"Your base is strong and well-staffed; you might not need us, but we will definitely follow your orders. I don't know about the others, but my life was saved by you. You tell me where to fight, and I'll fight there. No hesitation..."

"We were all part of the city police force before the apocalypse. After the outbreak in Jiefang City, if I do say so myself, we haven't wronged anyone to date. It's just that, in the end, we were harmed by our own people..."

"There's a saying, 'Once bitten by a snake, one fears a well rope for ten years.' Even if you don't take us in, we're still very thankful for all the help you gave us in the past..."

Captain Lv seemed to have thought a lot in his mind, and now that he had the chance to speak, he went on without stopping.

"Okay," Li Yu responded succinctly.

He directly answered Captain Lv's questions.

Still talking, Captain Lv said a few more words, seeming to not believe his ears. Then he looked up in disbelief and asked, "What? What I... What I... Did you just say... okay? You mean to let us join you?"

"Mhm." Li Yu revealed a faint smile on his face and nodded.

Captain Lv was still slow to react. He had prepared a lot to say that he hadn't even gotten to yet, and Director Li had just agreed like that?

What was going on?

Seeing Captain Lv's confusion, Li Yu explained, "Don't overthink it. The fact that you endured your pain to come and report back is proof enough of everything. We don't need vast military strength; what's most important at our base is unity. At least from what I see in you, you're the right fit for us."

After hearing Li Yu's words, Captain Lv was moved. Unity! Indeed!

Had Jiefang City been united back then, would things have come to this?

After finishing his speech, Li Yu told him to recover well and then left.

...

After stepping out of the medical room, Xiao Wu, who had exited earlier, informed the others about Captain Lv's situation. Knowing that Captain Lv was in good condition put everyone at ease.

Looking at the concern on everyone's faces, Li Yu felt reassured. These expressions were definitely not feigned, but were genuinely heartfelt concerns.

Thinking over it, he ultimately decided not to tell them about his conversation with Captain Lv. Often, winning over people's hearts often requires a third party.

If Li Yu spoke out directly now saying he was taking them in, although they would be grateful, the impact wouldn't be as strong.

But if it was conveyed through their leader, the transition of authority would become much more legitimate.

Consider if Li Yu told them now that they were members of the base and that they must listen to him from now on. Although everyone would be happy, what should they do? fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

If they were overly enthusiastic, what would Captain Lv think? It could also create the impression of being fair-weather friends or opportunists.

But if their response was lukewarm, what would Li Yu think? He might wonder if they were still sticking together or listening to Captain Lv, which could be a potential concern.

Therefore, it would be best not to have Li Yu be the one to speak.

After all, the current leader had not yet spoken, and for Li Yu to speak directly to them rather than through Captain Lv would be completely different.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Yu felt somewhat content. At least these people knew gratitude, and Captain Lv's desperate fight was worthwhile.

Then, he quietly left from the side, without anyone noticing.

Second Uncle, who followed after, was already familiar with this routine and coughed twice.

He said, "We've all been through a lot today. Let's clean up first, and then gather at 6:30 pm for dinner. Everyone line up later to receive some daily necessities."

Lai Xiyue also said, "Everyone, follow me now to receive your supplies."

Upon hearing this, everyone became excited, whispering among themselves.

"Are they distributing daily necessities to us?"

"It's impressive for such a big base to give out stuff."

"Did I hear it right earlier? Are we going to have dinner together?"

"So awesome..."

...

The group followed Lai Xiyue, lined up, and received their daily necessities:

Toothbrush, toothpaste, towels, soap...

Blankets, sheets...

Cups, chargers, Huawei phones????

They've got all this? iPads...

...

And there was even a printed copy of the base's rules.
