Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Battle of the Entire Base
 

Lu Hao sat on the side, chatting with Su Jin while watching her accelerate the growth of a Man-eating Flower.

He finally understood why Su Jin had consumed so much special ability power just now with no apparent effect; it turned out that those few plants could continuously replenish Xiao Jin with special ability power.

“I really envy Xiao Jin,”

Lu Hao said, resting his chin on the backrest of the chair.

Su Jin’s arms were slender, and a green plant appeared in her seemingly boneless hands, making her fingers appear even whiter. Thinking about how smooth those hands must be gave Lu Hao a sense of satisfaction that made him smile unwittingly.

Su Jin turned her head and looked at Lu Hao, who was smiling foolishly, and asked, “What are you envious of me for?”

Lu Hao thought for a moment and said, “Considering how things are going outside, Xiao Jin might be up for a promotion soon.”

Promotion?

Su Jin’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

That made sense! If her special ability power keeps growing like this, maybe she really could reach that level soon!

If that were the case, she should plant a few more Man-eating Flowers later. With that thought, Su Jin continued to accelerate the growth of the remaining seeds.

Seeing that Su Jin was no longer paying attention to him, Lu Hao felt a bit disappointed, but at that moment, Mrs. Su, Lin Tianhui, also entered the space. She didn’t need to take a shower; just washing her hands would suffice.

Mrs. Su’s complexion wasn’t looking too good; she seemed tired.

“Ah, every few minutes, injured people are brought in; I need to rest here for a bit,”

Lin Tianhui said as she took an apple and started discussing the situation outside with the elders.

Almost everyone in the base was fighting against the Zombie Tide, and casualties were continuously rising. Quite a few injured people turned into zombies during treatment. Although Guard Squad Members were always on standby, shooting those who turned, Mrs. Su couldn’t stand it after seeing over a dozen cases.

“Mom, when I go out later, I’ll bring some well water from the space for you. Try adding it to the water for the injured people,” Su Jin said.

“Well water? Can that really help?”

Mrs. Su seemed to recall something, as their well water had indeed saved many people before.

“I don’t know if it will work, but at least it can boost their resistance. It should help a bit, I guess,”

Su Jin wasn’t entirely sure; she just wanted to make her mother feel a bit better.

Just then, as the remaining people also returned to the space one after another, Mrs. Su saw her husband enter with a shiny bald head, and the gloomy expression she had moments ago immediately turned into an uncontrollable laugh.

Wasn’t that just hilarious?

“What’s with all the laughing, what’s so funny, haven’t you ever seen a bald head before?”

Su Xiangzhe pretended to be angry and decided to go take a shower considering the filth on his body.

Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo naturally brought out more food and drinks again.

“Eat up, eat a lot, or we won’t have space to store it all,” Li Xiuying thought to herself.

…

Having finished their shower, Su Xiangzhe and Lin Cheng, along with a few others, did not disappoint the expectations of the elders, as plates of food continuously vanished before them.

“My dear grandmother, I’m exhausted; you have no idea how terrifying it was out there,”

Before seeing the person, his voice was heard; Lin Xiuyuan had a towel hung around his neck, wiping his hair as he walked out from the side yard.

“What’s the situation outside now?”

Su Jin also asked curiously. With those Man-eating Flowers around, it should alleviate the situation quite a bit, right?

“We’ve killed many, but it seems the number of zombies hasn’t decreased by much. Before I came in, I even made a point of looking over from the city wall,” Lin Cheng said while eating, wondering when the killing would ever end!

“Millions of zombies, this is just the beginning,” Lu Hao said.

The permanent population of S city was nearly thirty million, and this was just the first million zombies. Besides, they had only been fighting for half a day today, so no matter how you looked at it, this was only the beginning.

“Su Jin, what are you smiling about over there by yourself?”

Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but ask as Su Jin started laughing after a moment’s pause upon Lu Hao mentioning ‘millions’.

“Liang Jiuhui promised me one-third of the base’s income,”

She really hadn’t expected millions of zombies. Even if some of the Crystal Cores were distributed to those who participated in the battle, she would at least get over one hundred thousand Crystal Cores, right?

“What? One-third?”

As expected, everyone was extremely surprised by Su Jin’s words – Liang Jiuhui was being too generous!

“Hmph, it makes sense. If we hadn’t joined in just now, their group might have been entirely wiped out,” Lu Hao said. What was this Liang Jiuhui up to, always tempting his Xiao Jin with Crystal Cores?

Although everyone knew this indeed was the case, the thought of receiving so many Crystal Cores made them even more enthusiastic about fighting off the Zombie Tide.

Nie Qing took out the Mysterious Fire Fan, looked at it time and again, but still returned it to Lu Hao, even though he felt quite cool using it just now.

Lu Hao, however, refused it. He felt that the Wind Element complemented the fan quite well; his master could fan the winds, and he could start the fire. Otherwise, with one hand wielding the fan and another holding the Tang Sword, he wouldn’t be able to bring out the Mysterious Fire Fan’s full power.

Nie Qing thought it made sense, and besides, his disciple didn’t seem to have any intention of lending the fan to anyone else. He never said it, but he was quite pleased with that. If you gift someone something precious, and they then lend it out, it wouldn’t sit well with the giver. But since neither the disciple nor the girl had any intention of lending the fan out, he was relieved. After all, the fan had been with him for over two hundred years.

…

The battle outside the Space continued, and seeing he was almost up, Rong Yuan also prepared himself mentally. He didn’t go up to the city wall to watch the battle, afraid he would miss his spot in the queue.

Seeing those lined up, waiting for their turn to enter the battlefield, Liang Jiuqing couldn’t help feeling moved. In the past, she thought her father and brother dedicated too much to the base, to the point of having no time to rest.

But now, she didn’t feel that way anymore. Besides those Guard Squad Members willing to sacrifice their lives for the base, there were those who used to be timid Survivors that had been growing with the base. When the Zombie Tide arrived, aside from the initial fear, everyone had also gathered the courage to go out and fight the zombies.

Just for that, everything her father and brother had done, was worth it!

After a Metal Element Ability User, helped in by others, joined the fray, Rong Yuan stepped up to take his place. Liang Jiuqing had seen Rong Yuan once at Su Jin’s house and checking his information, she felt a bit regretful. Rong Yuan was still just a Level One Metal Element Ability User, and it seemed she needed to get the next Metal Element Ability User ready.

Rong Yuan, looking at the scenes inside the enclosure, felt like he was in hell itself, surrounded by monstrous creatures gaping with bloody maws, and this small ground inside the fence was their battlefield!

Roar!

A gray-white Level Two Metal Element Series Zombie lunged at Rong Yuan without warning!
