Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus Chapter 501 - 473: Good grandchild, you're back!2

His heart beca very complicated because he was about to see Grandpa soon, filled with joy, guilt, and mostly anxiety.

On the way here, Captain Luo had ntioned so recent health issues with Grandpa, which weren't very good.

The anxious heart carried a heavy burden of worry.

Captain Luo's arm was already injured, and had it not been for the torrential rain a few days ago, he might not have been able to drive up to this point.

Therefore, Captain Luo was sowhat relieved that he had a chance to recuperate at the Big Camphor Tree Base for a while, and thus was even more grateful for the help provided by Li Yu and his companions.

Up ahead was Furong Mountain Resort.

Originally, this place was located in the northern part of Baiyun Mountain, heavily forested, with a winding river running through Furong Mountain.

In the heart of Furong Mountain, there was a Furong Resort Center, originally a lodging area for tourists.

Grandpa Ye and his group had made so modifications to this place, turning it into their current headquarters.

Rumble rumble~

The roar of the heavy truck signaled their entry into the vicinity of Furong Mountain, and so Survivors nearby noticed them.

Soon, they arrived at the Furong Resort Center.

The gate was tightly closed, and a car was used to block it. Next to the inside of the gate, there were so platforms made of cargo containers, with seven or eight ard people standing on top keeping watch.

Hearing the sound of the vehicles, they all turned their attention towards it.

Captain Luo rolled down the car window, stuck his head out, and shouted to the people inside the gate: "It's , I'm back."

Concentrated, Captain Luo saw that it was Old Bi. Old Bi and he had enlisted at the sa ti and had a pretty good relationship.

So he shouted to Old Bi standing on the container: "Old Bi, it's . Hurry and open up the gate. Xiao Shi is back too."

Old Bi saw Captain Luo, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Old Luo had been gone for so long without any news, and in this apocalyptic world, it was entirely possible he could have died.

Many others at the base had lost hope, believing that Captain Luo and his team might never return.

Unexpectedly, Old Luo actually ca back.

Old Bi shouted excitedly: "Hey, I knew you old chap would be alright!"

Then, he called out to his teammates: "Open the gate, get the gate open, Old Luo and his team are back!"

The teammates were also very happy. They were well aware of the purpose of Old Luo's expedition, and now that he had returned, it ant...

Click click click~

The gate was pulled open, and another person moved the big truck that was blocking the gate entrance.

Rumble rumble~

Captain Luo, unable to hide the joy on his face, drove in, followed by the two vehicles behind him.

Old Bi jumped down from the container and, once Captain Luo had parked the car steadily, walked over and punched Luo in the chest.

"You old chap, you've finally co back. Been wishing on the stars, wishing on the moon, and finally wished you back," Old Bi said, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

Captain Luo frowned slightly, that punch, although not very powerful, had caused his long-ti driving and already injured arm to stir the wound a bit.

Seeing his frown, Old Bi imdiately reined in his smile and asked with concern, "Old Luo, are you okay?"

Captain Luo waved his hand and said, "Took a bullet in the arm, a minor injury."

Old Bi, with a puzzled look, asked, "It looks like your trip wasn't easy. Let the dic take a look at you later. Who hurt you, by the way?"

Xiao Shi and two other teammates got out of the car.

Seeing Xiao Shi, Old Bi's mood lifted a bit.

However, when no one else got out of the vehicle, a bad outco suddenly crossed his mind.

"What about the others? More than thirty people—just you guys ca back?" Old Bi's eyes widened.

Captain Luo, who had been sowhat jubilant upon returning to the base, was reminded of the unpleasant mories of the past few days by Old Bi's words.

With a low spirit, he said, "We ran into a group from a prison. If it weren't for being rescued, we would have been wiped out.

By the way, Xiao Shi also happened to encounter them, which is why she survived.

The place that saved us is called Big Camphor Tree Base, to the north.

The specifics, it's a long story, let go see Grandpa Ye first. Wonder how he's doing now."

As soon as Grandpa Ye was ntioned, both Old Bi and the others around him suddenly fell silent.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Shi saw so familiar faces. Old Bi and Captain Luo used to co to her house often, so she knew Old Bi as well.

Seeing Old Bi fall silent, she asked anxiously, "Uncle Bi, what's happened to my Grandpa?"

In her words, the voice trembled, sowhat anxious and hoarse.

She ran all this distance, hoping she wouldn't miss the chance to see Grandpa's face.

After all, she had heard from Uncle Luo on the way that Grandpa's health wasn't good.

Her nervous hands clutched the sleeves of her clothes tightly.

After seeing Xiao Shi, Old Bi thought for a mont and then said, "Grandpa Ye's health was poor to begin with. A few days ago, during the heavy rainstorm, the base took in many survivors from outside.

Then a Zombie Tide broke out, and one night, midway through, Grandpa Ye was worried about the defense situation and went out in the rain, only to have a fall.

After being unconscious for three days, he woke up, but his previous illnesses flared up, and the complications were very serious.

Now he is bedridden. Although he can speak, he can hardly get out of bed.

According to the dical staff, with Grandpa Ye's current health, he likely won't last more than a few days. If you ca back any later, you probably would miss the chance to see Grandpa Ye."

Hearing the last sentence from Uncle Bi, tears stread down Xiao Shi's face instantly.

She couldn't hold them back.

With a trembling voice, she said, "Grandpa, Grandpa, where is he now?"

Old Bi pointed to a white house in the middle and said, "Grandpa Ye is in there. Um, I'll take you guys there."

He then gestured to his teammates who were also on duty at the gate and gave them so instructions.

Then he led Captain Luo and Xiao Shi toward the house where Grandpa Ye was staying.

Step by step, they approached the house.

Xiao Shi quickened her pace, but as she reached the door,

She suddenly paused. In an instant, her mind flashed with mories of Grandpa.

Grandpa looked at her lovingly, teaching her to create value for society, always rembering the purpose of serving the people.

In everyday life, Grandpa was dignified and authoritative, his presence emanating a great sense of oppression.

Now, she didn't know what Grandpa would look like; she was so afraid.

In this world, she only had Grandpa as her family.

She wiped away her tears.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Shi pushed open the door.

Inside a room,

The room was filled with the sll of dicine and so pungent alcohol scent.

Lying on a bed was a figure with a full head of white hair, half-closed eyes, and a frail body that seed severely ill.

His face was covered with a dark aura, mottled with many dark spots.

The whole person appeared devoid of any vigor or spirit.

The old man's emaciated fingers were holding a map, examining it.

Occasionally, a severe coughing sound could be heard.

On the floor, there was a small bucket with so tissues inside, stained with fresh blood.

"Grandpa." Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Shi's freshly wiped tears imdiately flowed freely again.

She couldn't stop them.

The old man with white and yellowing hair, upon hearing her voice, suddenly trembled in his emaciated fingers.

He put down the map, his movents not swift.

But it was clear that this was the fastest the old man could move.

The old man put down the paper, his listless expression flashing with what seed like the last glimr of life.

Like an aging tiger, his forr majesty still present, in this mont, he saw the silhouette of Xiao Shi, and behind her, Old Luo and Old Bi.

His eyes transford from stern to kind.

"My dear grandchild. You've co back." His voice was soft and weak, as if devoid of any strength, and slow.

Hearing Grandpa's voice, Xiao Shi rushed over, grasped Grandpa's hand tightly, then gently leaned on him and broke into heart-wrenching sobs.

Grandpa's voice used to be loud and resonant, but now it had beco like this. He seed to be severely ill.

She had never seen Grandpa look so vulnerable.

It seed like he could collapse with just a breath.

Grandpa was her hero.
