Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

"Young man, do you dare to make a move?"

Sheng Hongye took a step forward with a smile that was not quite a smile. A ruthless look flashed in Xin Zan's eyes as his middle finger aggressively pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, Sheng Hongye moved like lightning, grabbing Xin Zan's wrist and instantly turning the gun's muzzle towards Liu Yu.

Startled, Liu Yu quickly retreated, and the bullet grazed past his hair.

At the same time, Sheng Hongye kicked out, snatching the shotgun and aiming it at Xin Zan.

"Your reflexes are too slow."

In response, Xin Zan took a step back.

Sheng Hongye then redirected the gun back to Liu Yu.

His voice turned colder.

"Liu Yu, hand over my people. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the next bullet won't find its way into you."

Liu Yu's expression shifted slightly, but he quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Sheng, Xin Zan was just playing a prank on you. Your people really went out to find you, and we're here just waiting for them."

"Very well, let's have a few more jokes then."

A chill flickered in Sheng Hongye's eyes, and his finger pulled the trigger.

The bullet grazed the edge of Liu Yu's shoe as he hastily stepped back a few paces.

Meanwhile, Xin Zan had already been scared off, and with a twist of Sheng Hongye's finger, another shot was fired.

Xin Zan let out a muffled groan, falling to the ground, blood flowing from his calf.

Liu Yu now appeared fearful, taking two steps forward and extending his hand. "Mr. Sheng, please refrain from violence. Gunfire will attract the zombies."

Before he could finish his words, he reached for Sheng Hongye's wrist.

"So, you truly are skilled."

Sheng Hongye shifted the gun horizontally and delivered a knee strike towards Liu Yu. Liu Yu dodged the attack with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Sheng, you are no ordinary person either. Who would have thought that a respectable president like you would be proficient in the War God Temple's grappling techniques?"

Sheng Hongye sneered. "An accountant actually knows grappling, so what’s so strange that I know some martial arts skills myself."

As they exchanged a few more moves, Liu Yu's momentary lapse allowed Sheng Hongye to kick him several meters away.

Panicked, Liu Yu quickly got up and rushed back into the farm.

Sheng Hongye swiftly jumped into the car, forcefully breaking through the barrier and driving straight into the farm.

"Kai Xuan, Kai Xuan!"

He kicked open the door and entered his former living quarters. The room was empty, with no one in sight. Su Ling's room was also vacant, lacking both Su Rou and Li Xueying, and even Liu Yu and Xin Zan seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Holding the shotgun, Sheng Hongye searched inside and outside the house before checking the wristwatch in his hand.

He had placed a locator on Gu Kai Xuan, and after adjusting the frequency, the wristwatch emitted a low beeping sound.

Following the sound, Sheng Hongye discovered a concealed cellar.

As he was about to open it, he heard footsteps behind him and immediately crouched down.

With a muffled bang, a bullet flew past him from above.

Next, Liu Yu's voice came from outside the house.

"If you want your nephew and those two women, trade them for Miss Su."

"Why Su Ling? What do you know?"

Sheng Hongye asked, quickly finding cover in another direction.

As expected, the sound of gunfire rang out again, and wood chips flew off the door.

"Miss Su is of great value to me, and I know she won't die."

"What value? Do you like Su Ling?"

Sheng Hongye quickly fired a shot and rolled to another location.

The sound of bullets rang out again, and the sofa beside him was shot through.

After two feints, Sheng Hongye had a rough idea of Liu Yu's position. Swiftly, he swung the gun and pulled the trigger towards the darkness.

A muffled groan followed, and Liu Yu cursed through gritted teeth, "Sheng Hongye, if you don't hand over Su Ling, you'll never find your nephew again. Xin Zan, take action."

As Liu Yu spoke, Sheng Hongye heard a noise from above, and three shotguns extended from the roof firing at him in succession.

Sheng Hongye quickly moved to the door and raised the shotgun, firing a shot into the sky.

Another muffled bang followed, but it also infuriated the other two on the rooftop. The shotguns continued firing as if there were no tomorrow.

At this moment, Sheng Hongye appeared nothing like a pampered president; rather, he resembled a battle-hardened killer. He remained calm and collected, seizing every opportunity to fire a shot. The men above were injured one after another and grew increasingly furious.

Several shots were fired in succession, and then Liu Yu suddenly yelled, "Shit, zombies are coming. Stop shooting and retreat quickly."

The electric fence on the perimeter buzzed immediately, and the unique wails of zombies quickly followed.

The noises from above quickly faded, and those men had indeed left.

Sheng Hongye immediately opened the cellar and found Gu Kai Xuan inside, with his mouth covered. Su Rou and Li Xueying were there as well.

Both of them looked disheveled and in a sorry state, clearly having suffered at the hands of those beasts.

Upon seeing Sheng Hongye, Li Xueying burst into tears.

"Brother Ye, you have to avenge me!"

Sheng Hongye quickly released the two of them. "Where's Geng Hao?"

Su Rou sobbed, "I don't know. They tricked us into the granary, and then they..."

"That's enough, don't say anymore."

Li Xueying yelled, then burst into tears again.

Sheng Hongye pulled the two of them out and found that Gu Kai Xuan had fallen asleep. He quickly woke him up.

"Uncle."

Gu Kai Xuan immediately hugged Sheng Hongye's neck, tears streaming down his face.

"Don't cry. We have to leave quickly."

Since Geng Hao wasn't there, he had likely already fallen victim to those men.

Su Rou and Li Xueying immediately supported each other and ran outside. As soon as they reached the door, a gunshot sounded. Li Xueying screamed in agony as half of her ear was shot off, and blood streamed down.

Sheng Hongye kicked open the car door. "Get in quickly."

Li Xueying cried out as she got into the car, and Sheng Hongye handed Gu Kai Xuan to Su Rou.

"Lower your head. "

Su Rou was also frightened and began to cry. Sheng Hongye couldn't help but feel annoyed. If it were Su Ling, he knew she wouldn't react this way.

"Everyone, shut up," he shouted in a low voice as he stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.

Liu Yu and the others were at the door, defending against the zombies. They never expected Sheng Hongye to find the three of them so quickly.

Immediately, he yelled loudly, "Fire! Don't let them escape!"

Xin Zan and the others quickly opened fire, but the Passat that Sheng Hongye was driving had been reinforced by Su Ling. A few bullets couldn't harm him at all.

At the same time, Su Ling also received a warning tone indicating that the Passat's defenses had decreased.

The clear sound immediately awakened Su Ling, who had just fallen asleep.

Glancing at her watch, it was only one o'clock in the morning, and there was still some time before dawn.

Something must have happened at the farm.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and she couldn't reinforce remotely. All she could do was pray for Sheng Hongye's safe return.

At this moment, the supermarket, which had been quiet all night, also emitted a series of eerie sounds.

Su Ling immediately tensed up. It was the zombies.

Finally, they had arrived!
