Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 342 - 334: Overnight Stay

This place, with its high ground and close proximity to the main road, also has an iron shed above that can shield the falling snowflakes from the sky.

Indeed, it's not bad.

Li Yu and his companions had never thought about staying inside a building; their vehicle had heating – why would they want to step out and suffer in the cold?

Thus, finding a suitable parking spot became extremely important.

"Then, let's park over here," Li Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Old Lü didn't waste words and drove the truck directly upwards.

Following closely behind was Dapao.

The two vehicles, one behind the other, parked right at the hotel entrance.

After the vehicles stopped, the headlights remained on.

It was already dark, and under the illumination of the headlights, the falling snowflakes looked especially beautiful.

The lights shone far, but even further away, everything was covered in white snow.

After the apocalypse, the city was pitch black, devoid of the festive lights and revelry of the nights before, and also the bustling prosperity.

In this silent environment, one could feel the quietness of the wilderness, yet the surrounding tall and mottled damaged buildings reminded people of how this place used to look.

This, is the post-apocalypse.

Li Yu got out of the vehicle, and even though he was sleeping inside the vehicle, he still needed to check the surrounding environment.

Especially at the front door of a hotel.

Old Xie and Old Lü followed him out, each carrying a gun and a flashlight.

Creak~

Li Yu pushed open the hotel's main door, revealing a scene of disarray.

The paintings on the walls had long disappeared, and the tables and chairs scattered on the ground illustrated how hurried the people escaping from this place must have been.

"Let's not split up. Let's check the first floor first," Li Yu said.

Old Xie and Old Lü exhibited great discipline, their walking posture and the formation they kept ensured a 360-degree coverage with no blind spots.

Thud thud thud~

The sound of their shoes crunching on the icy ground echoed through the hotel.

With their coordination, the search of the first floor was completed very quickly.

The hotel was indeed big, but the only way to access the second floor was by the elevator. Moreover, the staircase entrance was at the back door of this hotel.

Considering the size of the hotel, getting to the back door would take a considerable amount of time.

There was no need to check the second floor now, as the elevator wasn't operational without electricity, rendering it useless.

Thus, after checking the first floor, Li Yu returned to the vehicle with Old Lü and Old Xie.

Underneath the shed, about seven or eight meters away from the vehicle, Li Yu wrapped a string of bells around the vehicle.

This might not necessarily be useful in this weather, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

At the front door of the City Center Hotel.

Dapao cooked some instant noodles inside the Unimog RV, filling the entire vehicle with a delicious aroma.

Li Yu and Old Xie got into the Unimog, and after a meal gobbled down quickly, Li Yu took two packs of cigarettes from the back seat of the vehicle, and then he and Old Lü returned to the truck.

Just as they were about to smoke, Old Lü suddenly said, "I noticed that our fuel tank is less than half full, I'll go refuel with some diesel."

Li Yu uttered the word "good".

It's necessary to fill up the tank; otherwise, the heating oil will run out tonight, and without heating, we'll freeze like idiots.

Lao Lv went to refuel, and inside the Unimog, Dapao kept joking with Yang Tianlong.

Throughout the journey, Shang Xue'er took good care of Yang Tianlong. No wonder Dapao said that Yang Tianlong was the biggest winner of this trip.

Li Hang sat in the living room, turned to the camera, and said, "You guys go to sleep first, I'll take the first half of the night shift."

Lao Xie patted him and said, "I'll take the second half of the night. Dapao, you don't need to stay up; rest well, you'll have to drive tomorrow, and driving today must have been exhausting."

Shang Xue'er immediately said, "I'll take the night shift. You guys have been busy all day; I haven't been much help."

Yang Tianlong also said, "I can't move much anyway, so I can watch the camera. Let me do it."

Dapao also said that he wanted to take the night shift.

Suddenly, through the walkie-talkie, Li Yu said, "Everyone rest early. Tomorrow we need to be energetic. Let Shang Xue'er and Yang Tianlong take the first half of the night; the second half will be Li Hang and I. The rest should sleep. That's it."

His tone left no room for doubt or objection.

Everyone refrained from arguing; ever since we got out, we've followed Li Yu's commands, and any polite dispute would be meaningless. It's better to sleep early.

It was nine in the evening.

The vehicle kept the heating on, and the lights were turned off directly.

Everyone fell asleep. Li Yu and Lao Lv's truck, besides the seats, had a small bed in the back.

This bed is generally used by long-haul truck drivers.

Since Li Yu had the night shift in the second half, he made himself at home and lay down on the small bed to sleep, while Lao Lv leaned on the seat to sleep.

After turning off the headlights, the world seemed to quiet down.

Li Yu didn't take off his clothes, placed his weapon on his chest, took a couple of deep breaths, then cleared his mind and went into a light sleep.

The night passed without words or incidents.

In this cold weather, spending a night outside was so calm.

This eased Li Yu's mind.

But this was because they had made adequate preparations. After last night's consumption, it was time to refuel now.

After eating breakfast, and by breakfast, it was just a few prepared steamed buns, which were very simple to keep fresh; just store them in the trunk without heating, and soon they would freeze as hard as rocks.

The vehicles roared towards the outskirts.

Everywhere was blanketed in snow, forcing Li Yu and his team to wear sunglasses to prevent snow blindness.

Li Yu pulled out the map, made some calculations about the distance and with the current speed of 20 kilometers per hour, it would take approximately 45 minutes to reach the wholesale market Li Hang mentioned.

The exhaust fumes emitted black smoke and the mist steamed up, melting the newly formed ice edges.

During their journey, less than a kilometer away, a tiger was watching them from a rooftop.

On a closer look, the tiger had pale yellow fur, which looked somewhat dirty, and its brow mark hadn't changed.

The weather today was slightly better than yesterday; the heavy snow had turned into light snow.

"The snow finally let up; finally, we can see a bit further." Dapao said with a mix of bitterness.

Yesterday, due to the blizzard, visibility was under fifteen meters, and driving required constant full concentration, exhausting him terribly.

"Don't let your guard down; Lao Xie, Shang Xue'er, you all need to keep an eye on our surroundings," Li Yu reminded, noticing the lighter snowfall.

The tiger behind them continued to follow their trail.
