Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 399: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine: A Familiar Person Chapter 399: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine: A Familiar Person “Are you out of your mind?! Lure them back here? Now there are only two of us left in the team? Do you have any idea how many zombies are out there?!”

The other man, on hearing this, was immediately filled with anger. The kid actually wanted to go back?

That university town had become a Dead City, teeming with countless zombies! Wouldn’t going there be akin to courting death?

“Brother Wang, just let me go. You know what I’m capable of. I’m so fast, no zombie could catch me. Look, watch me, roar roar roar!”

After saying that, the man ran a quick lap around the room. He was a speed element ability user. At this moment, as he ran, he became almost a blur, a testament to his incredible speed.

Wang Zhu glared at him and spoke deliberately, “I, will, not, agree!”

“Fine…”

The man admitted defeat. Indeed, as Brother Wang said, there were only the two of them left in the team. Even those formidable men and women from before had perished inside Freedom Dawn Base. If it weren’t for him dragging Brother Wang to run fast enough earlier, they’d probably be part of the zombie horde now.

After a while, when Wang Zhu realized he was the only one left in the room, he suddenly felt uneasy. That kid had said he was going to the restroom, so why hadn’t he returned yet?

He opened the dusty and moldy door to find a few big characters written on the ground with red bricks: Brother Wang, I’ll be back soon, I’m very fast ^_^
Wang Zhu’s clenched fist was bulging with veins as he gritted his teeth, “Zhang Chuyang!”

…

After resting in the car for five minutes, Lu Hao swiftly returned to the battlefield.

Zombies were still pouring in continuously. They had been fighting non-stop since the morning, and the previous horde of over five thousand had likely been entirely eradicated. And Qiqi said there were still tens of thousands of zombies on the way.

Su Jin summoned two more man-eating flowers, and just as she was about to continue, Mao Qiqi spotted a strange green dot on the map.

“There’s someone… it looks like they are running towards us.”

Mao Qiqi frowned, watching the figure. They were moving at an extreme speed; in just the blink of an eye, the green dot seemed to have gotten much closer to them. It must be a speed element ability user.

A speed element ability user?

“Please don’t tell me they’ve led more zombies here,” thought Lin Xiuyuan with some annoyance. It seemed like the zombies could never be fully eradicated.

Nie Qing floated into the air to look in the direction Mao Qiqi pointed out, but he seemed unable to see anything.

“Here they come!”

Mao Qiqi shouted loudly.

Everyone, including Lian Jiyue, became alert to the direction the person was coming from. Despite Mao Qiqi saying they were approaching, they couldn’t see anyone. Could this person also be invisible?

“In martial arts, only speed is unbeatable. Don’t attack me! I’m here to help you!”

The voice of a man came from not too far behind them.

Su Jin thought the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t quite recall who it was. This person didn’t seem to have brought any zombies with them.

As the person finally came to a stop, several nearby zombies lunged at them. Lian Jiyue, ever fierce, also threw a silver metal spike at them.

Whoosh, whoosh!

So fast!

The person managed to dodge all of those attacks simultaneously!

And Su Jin, standing on top of the car, finally recognized who the person was.

“Zhang Chuyang?!”

Su Jin watched in surprise as Zhang Chuyang kept dodging; although his hair had grown much longer and he had matured a lot, that voice and appearance were undoubtedly his!

Lu Hao could detect the delight in Su Jin’s tone. He frowned, for Su Jin had never shown such a reaction towards any other man before. Could it be…yet the moment he saw Zhang Chuyang, all his worries dissipated like smoke.

Too short, presenting no threat to him at all.

Completely unaware that he had been compared to someone else, Zhang Chuyang was surprised that someone was calling his name, and even more so that it was Su Jin, the person he had been searching for day and night!

“Su Jin?!”

Zhang Chuyang yelled out as he looked at Su Jin standing on the roof of the car. Had he really found Su Jin?!

While everyone exchanged glances, they continued to kill zombies. Tears welled up in Zhang Chuyang’s eyes, but what the hell were those large plants eating zombies? However, they seemed to be allies with Su Jin, as they weren’t attacking humans.

“Su Jin, don’t be afraid, I’m here to rescue you. I’ll draw away the zombies right now,” he said.

Seeing the relentless stream of zombies, Zhang Chuyang couldn’t afford to catch up with Su Jin. His priority was to draw the zombies away, as Su Jin and her teammates seemed very tired.

“There are too many! Besides, the front is all zombies, you have nowhere to lead them,” Su Jin remarked.

Su Jin knew Zhang Chuyang wanted to use his speed element ability to lead the zombies away, but there were too many of them. How could he possibly manage it all alone?

“It’s okay, just listen to me. Get in the car and wait for me. I’ve got lots of experience,” Zhang Chuyang confidently said as he took out a megaphone from his belt and with a knife from his pocket, quickly sliced his own palm.

The force he used was not light, and his entire palm was soon drenched in blood.

“…”

It was too late for Su Jin to intervene. The scent of human blood deeply stimulated the zombies’ nostrils, and distant zombies began howling even more loudly.

Zhang Chuyang shouted as he started running towards the back, “Su Jin, wait for me here, I’ll come back to find you!”

“Xiao Jin, get in the car quickly, all the zombies are being drawn here!”

After speaking, Lu Hao picked up Su Jin and dove into the car for cover, while Lian Jiyue had already taken Mao Qiqi into the car. Although he couldn’t speak, he was starting to understand what others said.

The rest of the people in the car behind them, including Ren Yingjie, were shocked. What was with the short man?!

Sacrificing himself for the sake of others?

Zhang Chuyang didn’t start running fast at first, only trying hard to keep ahead of the zombies following him. To enhance the effect, he cut open his other palm and pressed the play button on the megaphone.

From it, a jovial woman’s voice pitched, “Secret recipe grilled sausages, secret recipe grilled sausages, freshly grilled, good and cheap, three yuan for two. Secret recipe grilled sausages…”

“…”

Listening to the fading sound of the loudspeaker, Su Jin didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. This Zhang Chuyang, still the same as before the apocalypse…

But watching the horde of zombies with gaping mouths running frantically forward, she couldn’t help feeling worried again.

“Xiao Jin, who is he?” Lu Hao asked, seeing the concern spilling from Su Jin’s eyes. The feeling of crisis returned. Could Xiao Jin like someone like him?

“He is a good friend I met on a business trip before,” Su Jin replied, careful not to speak of past life events in front of everyone, thinking she would explain when there was an opportunity.

“Heh! Girl, your friend is quite capable, huh?” Nie Qing remarked, seeing the zombies ignoring their vehicle and continuing to chase after the sound in the distance. That person seemed to have run far, but the zombies were still in pursuit.
