Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 283 - 275: Eggs and Milk

A night had passed, and the base was shrouded in mist, the air fresh with a faint scent of osmanthus.

The next morning, Li Yu, as usual, got up early and ran through the mountain forests. The early morning fog swirled, with a slight chill in the air. As he ran, the cool breeze whooshed by his ears; the trees around him seemed to move swiftly as he passed by.

He enjoyed running because it made him feel alive, with his blood pumping and every breath reinforcing a strong sense of being.

During the run, there was no need to think about anything, just keep running forward.

His mind was clear, all thoughts vanished, no worries, no anxieties. Perhaps this was why Li Yu loved to run.

As time slowly went by, the whole base seemed to come to life, more and more people came out, smoke billowed from the residential area, filled with the breath of life.

Li Haoran and his brother Li Haoxian, who were on duty all night yesterday, also swapped shifts with Ding Jiu and Wang Cheng, dragging their tired bodies.

People like Lao Xie, who had just arrived yesterday, lay in comfortable beds all night, many unable to sleep because everything seemed too unreal.

They got up early, too, and saw Li Yu running back from outside, followed by a string of little followers, the younger children from Li Yu's family.

"Director Li, good morning," Shang Xue'er greeted as she saw Li Yu running towards her.

"Morning," Li Yu slowed down his run, starting to walk slowly, as he replied.

"Director Li, good morning!"

"Morning."

"Director Li, good morning!"

"Morning."

...

On the way, he encountered many people from Captain Lv's team, seeing the steam rising from Li Yu's head and the sweat drenching him; it was obvious that he had just finished his morning exercise. They all took the initiative to greet him.

Breakfast was fixed, consisting of coarse grains, as well as some soy milk and white porridge.

The base actually bred many chickens, ducks, and fish, producing some eggs every day, but most were given to the growing children. There were also four dairy cows that Li Yu had brought in from High Mountain Grassland that could provide some milk.

Eggs and milk, a certain portion was reserved for the children, and if there was any surplus, it would then be distributed to other people at the base.

This was a rule of the base, so when Lao Xie took these items for his daughter Xiao Jing, the surprise was evident, not just from their expressions.

Captain Lv's people, seeing this scene, grew even more confident in the base.

Even Li Yu was drinking soy milk and eating steamed buns. But he provided milk and eggs to the children of people who had recently joined the base from outside.

Before the apocalypse, these things would have been taken for granted, but now, in this post-apocalyptic world, they were exceedingly precious.

Last night, Captain Lv's daughter had slept with Li Yuan, and in the early morning, both sported dark circles under their eyes, seemingly having not slept all night.

Seeing this, Li Yu said somewhat speechlessly, "Li Yuan, did you not sleep at all last night?"

Li Yuan lowered her head to look at Xiao Fei, and Xiao Fei also looked at Li Yuan.

The two exchanged glances and communicated with their eyes for a moment, then both laughed.

Li Yu paid them no further attention and picked up some breakfast, which included some milk and eggs. Injured people usually get better nutrition, which is also a rule at the base.

Li Yu walked towards the medical room to bring these items to Captain Lv. freёwebnoѵel.com

Upon arriving at the medical room, he found that Captain Lv was still lying down, asleep, but his complexion had already improved a lot.

As Li Yu approached, his footsteps were slightly louder. Before he even got close, he saw Captain Lv open his eyes and immediately ask, "Director Li, where's my daughter?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Last night, she was probably causing a ruckus with Li Yuan. They made a racket all night, got up late, and are having breakfast now. She'll come over with Li Yuan in a bit."

Then he placed the breakfast on the table and sat down on a nearby stool to ask, "Feeling any better now? Have something to eat first."

Captain Lv, seeing the eggs, milk, and some steamed buns on the table, was somewhat astonished. They had such food!

So he asked, "Director Li, does everyone at the base have these things? This, this is beyond my imagination!"

Originally, when they were in Jiefang City, they had thought about breeding some poultry. Chickens and ducks were manageable, but raising large livestock like dairy cows was impossible for Jiefang City. It was difficult to feed them because cows eat grass, and in a city base like Jiefang City, there was no grass to be found.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Our base actually doesn't raise many, just four dairy cows, and chickens lay quite a few eggs. But not everyone can have them every day. Only the injured or children under 16 can have these items daily."

Captain Lv exclaimed with surprise, "Director Li, you... you don't have any for yourself, but you give them to me."

"It's nothing precious. Just eat up and get better sooner, so you can help us out," Li Yu said with a smile, preparing to leave the medical room.

Captain Lv couldn't help but call out, "Director Li, later on, would you consider gathering my team members? I want to discuss some matters with them."

"No rush, let's wait until you feel better," Li Yu knew what he wanted to say, but it wasn't urgent. They should wait until Captain Lv's health had improved.

In the base, they often had large feasting events after some time. They had stockpiled so many supplies, enough to last them a long while.

Before the apocalypse, the early stored goods were calculated to sustain 50 people for 100 years.

But after the apocalypse broke out, they collected many various types of supplies, including daily necessities and some clothes, etc.

Thus, although the variety of supplies at the base had increased, they were also growing some crops now, among other things. So, if it was just a matter of food, they didn't have to worry.

It had been two months since the last big feasting event; it had been too long without one, and it was time for another gathering.

So, Li Yu briefly discussed this idea with his mother, who was very supportive. Although it was always a lot of hard work whenever they had a feast, seeing family members and those who considered the base their home, who were practically family now, always made her genuinely happy.

"Okay, I'll talk to Lai Dongsheng's wife later and ask for her opinion. She used to be a great chef!"

"Alright, you decide," Li Yu smiled and then walked toward the surrounding wall.

Third Uncle was lying on a chair on top of the wall.

Generally, even when it wasn't Third Uncle's turn for duty, he still liked to wander up to the wall now and then.
