Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Lost? Let’s Go Together! Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Lost? Let’s Go Together! Xing Taian suggested that the group could stay here a few more days, and both Su Jin and Lu Hao agreed to consider it.

After all, Lian Jiyue had not yet awakened, and they wanted to wait for him to wake up and ask his decision before making a final call.

When the two returned to where they were staying, Su Jin was still variously excited and thrilled—thirty-five thousand Crystal Cores! She couldn’t help but plant an “imprint of love” on Lu Hao’s face.

If it weren’t for Lu Hao getting lost, how would they have found this place, and how would they have made such a big deal?

All of it was Lu Hao’s achievement!!

“Hmm, getting lost again next time? Let’s do it together!”

Lu Hao joked.

“Might consider it, I’ve noticed every time you get lost, we bump into something good,”

Su Jin said with a smile, recalling Nie Qing’s time, the Local Tyrant Gold’s occasion, and this time.

She was now considering letting Lu Hao lead them to get lost again…

Lian Jiyue was still unconscious; to prevent him from dehydrating from sleeping too long, Su Jin had Lin Xiuyuan feed him a few bottles of Spatial Water.

Watching Lin Xiuyuan lift the blanket off Lian Jiyue, Lu Hao couldn’t help but ask what he was looking for.

“Hmm? I’m checking to see if he’s wet the bed; he’s drunk six bottles of water!”

But Lin Xiuyuan found no trace of wetness on the bed and, looking at the still sleeping Lian Jiyue, gave him a thumbs up.

Impressive, Big Bro!

Lu Hao: “…”

Meanwhile, there was also joy pervading the Wood Spirit Space.

They had sold so much of their food?!

And nearly a thousand eggs were consumed?!

Upon hearing about Xing Taian and his group, the family even felt that Su Jin had sold them for a bit too much—those guys were genuinely doing a good deed.

“I was just selling at the prices of the Heart Talk Convenience Store,”

Su Jin said with a hint of grievance, also, she hadn’t expected Xing Taian’s team to have that many Crystal Cores.

“Girl, that’s called wholesale; you should’ve offered a wholesale price, the Heart Talk Convenience Store is retail,”

Su Xiangzhe commented, remembering Xing Taining, and surprised that Su Jin had encountered Xing Taian.

“Yes, yes, daughter-in-law, the wholesale price could be a bit cheaper,” Lu Guanhai also said.

“Alright, I got it,”

She might as well add some more then.

In fact, 1500 jin of food wasn’t really that much; considering a 20-jin bag, it wasn’t even a hundred bags of food. Thinking of those 35,000 plus Crystal Cores, Su Jin couldn’t help but wonder if she’d sold them at a bit of a high price.

“They’ll gather some more Crystal Cores tomorrow, and then we can compensate a bit more,”

Lu Hao said with a smile after hearing Su Jin’s muttering.

In fact, in the Apocalypse, what they were charging was not expensive; it’s just that everyone might feel a mysterious gratitude towards soldiers, especially Su Xiangzhe and Lu Guanhai, who were both retired soldiers and naturally tended to consider more for their comrades.

Moreover, their food… they really had a lot of it; everyone truly wanted to “cut their coat according to their cloth”!

…

Xing Taian, having exchanged all the Crystal Cores for food, was very pleased. This way, they wouldn’t have to go to the bases to exchange for food for a while; it would be great if they could have more Crystal Cores.

“Captain Xing, let’s all go out and hunt some Crystal Cores tomorrow. While they are still here, let’s exchange some more,” one team member said.

“Absolutely, we must go. Five Crystal Cores can be exchanged for an egg, and one egg can keep you full for a day,” another team member said.

Xing Taian looked at his team members with satisfaction, deciding he would also go out tomorrow to kill some zombies. Every extra pound of food they could exchange would be crucial, especially since there were still young Special Ability Users in the village who were taking care of the elderly and children. He planned to call them to join as well.

“Ah, if only another Zombie Tide would come, our traps have been unused for a long time,”

Xing Taian sighed.

————————————————

At dawn, at the entrance of the base in F Province, a row of towering wooden towers stood. These towers were used by the base to observe enemy movements.

Although there were also wooden ladders underneath the towers that could be climbed up, the sentries on duty were still accustomed to walking up from the short bridge above the city wall.

A sentinel who had just taken over the early shift from his companion yawned, feeling drowsy after having breakfast too early. If only he could go back to sleep for a while…

Suddenly, two whistle blasts jolted him awake.

What’s happening?! Zombies?

The sentinels in the tower immediately became alert.

“Quick! Go report, a Zombie Tide is incoming!!”

A few meters away, at another wooden tower, a sentinel who was looking through a telescope shouted out. They had to hurry into the city to notify them immediately!

“What? Another Zombie Tide?”

A bearded man, upon hearing the report from someone outside, pushed away the woman entangled with him on the bed, and she was caught off guard and fell off the bed.

“Yes, Base Leader, it should reach the city in about 20 minutes!”

The man outside reported urgently, his voice breaking.

“Stop crying! Do it like last time.”

Liu Jianyuan, the bearded man, was the Base Leader of the F Province base. He always advocated taking the essence and discarding the dregs, which is why the base never accepted the elderly and children.

But there were always some self-righteous people challenging his bottom line.

He only found out from others that not far from their base, a few villagers had set up a small base that specifically sheltered the elderly and children. As a result, the survivors who came with the elderly or children directly fled to that small village base, a fact that stuck in his craw.

Since they were so capable, let this Zombie Tide be a generous gift to them!

After all, those residing there were nothing but a bunch of weak and sick people. It would alleviate some burden from his base if they were eliminated.

The elderly and children, in the Apocalypse, were doomed to be burdens.

“Notify all the Speed element ability users to assemble at the city gate!”

Liu Jianyuan put on his coat quickly and rushed toward the city gate.

“Yes!”

…

Lian Jiyue still hadn’t awoken by morning and was lying there quietly.

Su Jin used her Wood Element Ability to check over his body once again, unsure why he still hadn’t woken up. He seemed perfectly fine. Mao Qiqi even cut his long nails that were beside him.

But, as she was cutting the nails, Mao Qiqi suddenly paused.

“Sister Xiao Jin, there are people leading a large number of zombies our way!”

Mao Qiqi said with a shocked expression.

“How many zombies?” Su Jin frowned and asked.

“Still not sure,”

Mao Qiqi continued to observe attentively at her mini-map. The zombies had just started to appear on the edge of her map, and more seemed to be continuously emerging!
