Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 413 - 413 Four Hundred Thirteen Im Back
Chapter 413: Chapter Four Hundred Thirteen: I’m Back Chapter 413: Chapter Four Hundred Thirteen: I’m Back “Su Jin, we are also getting ready to head back to the base, let’s go together,”
Jian Zongzheng pointed at their vehicle beside them as he spoke.
He did not intend to delay their time further. Su Jin’s car obviously had some people they had not seen before, who might all be waiting to return to the base.
“Sure, together,”
Su Jin nodded, still letting Zhang Chuyang and Wang Zhu get on the minibus, planning to regroup at the entrance to the base.
Dr. Pei and the others looked at their familiar hometown; the once bustling and clean streets had now become a picture of decay. They recognized almost every street, yet it felt as though they recognized none…
Tan Yiran also saw the road he often took when leaving work; he hadn’t expected that upon seeing it again, it would feel as if it were from another lifetime.
“But this S city really seems quite different,”
Zhang Chuyang said as he watched outside. Along the way, he had actually seen a few booths with signs reading: S City Maps, take one if needed.
Additionally, there were signs that seemed to be newly made, with directions pointing towards the S city base.
What surprised them the most was how few zombies there were on the streets outside! Even zombie corpses were rarely seen.
Su Jin had Ren Yingjie stop for a bit, then asked Lin Xiuyuan to bring a few maps up for everyone. She and Lu Hao also glanced at the map, and indeed, the parts indicating where there were more or fewer zombies had been updated with the latest information.
Wang Zhu looked surprised at the map in his hands; he had thought it was a mere ordinary map, but it contained so much information.
He glanced at the update date on the bottom right corner – was it really just two days ago?
This S City base was truly beyond his expectations. If only his wife were still safely here…
From afar, Su Jin and the others could already see the towering walls of the base, a feeling of coming home was naturally emerging.
Indeed, where there are family members, that’s where home is!
“Is that the base?”
The driver Ren Yingjie asked as they finally arrived safely!
“Yes, magnificent, isn’t it?”
Lin Xiuyuan said with a prideful tone. Ever since they left the S city base, he hadn’t seen any other base that caught his eye, not even the one in E city; he thought they were all insignificant.
“Magnificent, truly magnificent, it’s like the feel of an ancient citadel,”
Zhang Chuyang had already stood up, astonished by the surroundings.
They hadn’t even reached the base yet, and the area around it… was really clean, without a single zombie corpse.
“Hmph, wait until you go inside, then you’ll realize that this grandeur isn’t just for show,”
Lin Xiuyuan started talking about the base’s medical, housing, employment, and security aspects, while those in the car listened quietly.
Dr. Pei and his group were even more yearning, as the base apparently had several research institutes, including the Weapon Research Institute and the Agricultural Research Institute. As the name suggested, these were primarily for researching weapons to fight zombies and for how to grow crops, and those were the areas they excelled in. They were also looking forward to their skills being put to good use.
Ren Yingjie, after listening, was even more moved; he had made significant gains from Xing Taian’s base. If he could really use what he learned successfully, that would be great.
As everyone’s thoughts were mixed with anticipation, the gates of the base were now right in front of them.
“It’s okay now, wait in the waiting area next to you for two hours, and then you can enter,”
Liang Jiuqing said after checking the forms filled out by several survivors.
“Isn’t that Su Jin and the others?”
A whisper from a nearby staff member reached Liang Jiuqing’s ears. Her hand stamping the forms froze midair. Astonished, she looked outside and saw, not far away at the body temperature screening station, a line of people queuing up to get their temperatures checked, and indeed, Su Jin and Lu Hao were among them!
“My goodness, they really have come back,”
Liang Jiuqing dropped the work in her hands and ran into the base. She needed to quickly notify her older brother of this news.
Su Jin and her companions looked at the body temperature check station with great interest.
In the past, staff members used electronic thermometers for screening, but now it had become an independent enclosed booth. As soon as someone stepped inside, a green light would come on at the entrance and display that person’s temperature. There were two such stations, and one had to pass both to be allowed through.
“This is much more convenient, it saves manpower and is safer,”
Su Jin said.
“Yeah, this little box that measures temperature looks quite interesting,”
Nie Qing found the temperature check station very amusing and couldn’t wait to give it a try.
After the temperature check, Su Jin also thoughtfully paid the entrance fee for Pei Yuan and the others, including the shares for Zhang Chuyang and Wang Zhu.
The staff members looked at Su Jin and the others with eager eyes—the bigwigs of their base had returned!
And they had brought two other powerful figures with them, one of the new entrants’ information even listed as a Level Five Speed Element!
Another Space Element Level Three was also not weak, given that there were only a handful of Level Three Space Element individuals in the base.
“Please wait in the waiting area for two hours,”
The staff member, who had been sitting, stood up and handed over their waiting cards with a respectful attitude that made the people behind take a few more glances.
Wang Zhu also noticed the staff member’s attitude, indeed, Su Jin and the others held a certain status in this base.
…
In the meeting room, Liang Jiuhui was having the daily summary meeting with some of the management.
Bang!
The door was pushed open forcefully.
Seeing that it was Liang Jiuqing who barged in without knocking, Liang Jiuhui couldn’t help but burst into scolding.
“Brother! Su Jin and the others have returned!”
Liang Jiuqing called out confidently, believing that her brother wouldn’t scold her this time.
“Returned… so they’ve returned, what’s the big deal,”
Liang Jiuhui held back his shock but still spoke with an indifferent tone.
“Exactly, exactly, we don’t expect anything from them anyway, as long as the mission is accomplished,”
Li Haochu also said to everyone.
Liang Jiuqing tilted her head, took a stool and sat down. Why did everyone seem so strange today? Weren’t they all looking forward to Su Jin and the others’ swift return? Although her older brother didn’t scold her for not knocking.
Watching Liang Jiuhui, who had lost interest in the meeting, Sheng Jing shook his head and quickly reported on his work.
A gust of wind passed by, the curtains outside the window swayed, and Sheng Jing’s mouth curved into a smile as he said to everyone, “He’s gone.”
Whew~
Everyone in the room sighed in relief, relieved that the person at the corner had finally left.
Liang Jiuhui stood up abruptly and excitedly said to everyone, “Su Jin and Lu Hao have come back! They made it in time!”
“Yes, yes, now there’s hope for our base to have S-rank prospects,”
Li Haochu changed his previous nonchalant demeanor and said with some emotion.
“Quick, quick, let’s see if Dr. Pei and the others have come back with them…”
…
The meeting room instantly became a hubbub, then several people quickly made their way outside, leaving a confused Liang Jiuqing and a smiling Ye Rongxin shaking his head.
