Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 445 - 445 Four Hundred and Forty-Five Long Time No
Chapter 445: Chapter Four Hundred and Forty-Five: Long Time No See Chapter 445: Chapter Four Hundred and Forty-Five: Long Time No See The Heart Talk Team and the Proud Overlord Team made it back to the base’s front gates before nightfall.
Su Jin and her group didn’t feel much, but Jian Zongzheng’s party was already on the brink of exhaustion, with only Zhang Chuyang and Wang Zhu feeling okay, so Zhang Chuyang took on the role of the driver.
“When we used to flee for our lives, it was much more exhausting than this. Sometimes we wouldn’t even dare to sleep at night, and we’d have to continue running the next day,”
Zhang Chuyang leaned against the car and spoke to the few pale-faced individuals.
At the moment, they were all waiting by the city gate, while Nie Qing had Su Jin bring out a chessboard for her to play Xiangqi with Su Xiangzhe. Lu Guanhai and Lin Cheng, among others, were watching from the side.
Huang Yunxiang secretly entered the Space in the car and spoke with the elders about their haul for the day.
There were many stores in the clothing market, not just clothes, but also a few bedding shops, and Su Jin naturally had no qualms about taking it all into the Space. Those quilts might fetch a good price.
In the Space, the elders had already seen the clothes and quilts Su Jin had brought in, cluttering up the entire yard.
“Mom and Dad, these are the spoils we got from fighting zombies today. What do you think, quite a lot, right?”
Huang Yunxiang said while trying on a piece of clothing for Li Xiuying,
“There’s a lot indeed, but we can’t wear all of it,”
Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo said, looking at the clothes. They were all new and of good quality, suitable for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
“Yeah, we can’t wear all of it, but Xiao Jin said we could sell them slowly in the base. You don’t know what the weather outside is like now. It’s freezing to death both in the morning and at night,”
Huang Yunxiang talked about the strange weather outside. It was said that recently the number of patients in the Base Hospital had also increased a lot, but most of them were ordinary people without Special Abilities. Special Ability Users have much stronger bodies than ordinary people and rarely get sick with fever.
“Well, that’s good. You can exchange them for Crystal Cores or give them to people to wear,”
Li Xiuying nodded in approval. She was very glad that she and her husband were now in the Space. In the past, whenever it got cold in winter, they were too afraid to go out because the elderly can’t stand the cold.
Huang Yunxiang didn’t stay in the Space for long, explaining a bit to the elders and asking them to pick out some clothes that everyone could wear, then she left the Space.
After two hours and several games of chess, it quickly became time for Su Jin and her group to pick up Tianhui from the Base Hospital after her shift.
Zhou Chengren regained consciousness in the ward of the Base Hospital.
The ward was crammed with his brothers, as well as a few clean-looking individuals who appeared to be doctors.
Dr. Yao flipped through Zhou Chengren’s medical report and said to Xing Taining, “The CT scan shows cerebral hemorrhaging, but fortunately, it’s only a minor hemorrhage. Some medication and a month’s rest should be sufficient. Also, the patient has been malnourished for a long period of time, so he needs high-protein food during this time, such as meat and eggs.”
Meat and eggs?
Zhou Chengren felt as if he had been dreaming. Wasn’t the apocalypse all fake? Otherwise, how could a doctor be talking in such an ordinary tone about a patient needing to eat more meat and eggs?
Xing Taining and the others were just as stunned. If they were already shocked by the hospital’s CT machine, the doctor’s words astounded them even more.
“Doctor, are you joking? Where can we get the high-protein, nutritious food you’re talking about these days? We’ve hardly had anything to eat for two days,”
Wang Zhi approached Dr. Yao and said.
“Don’t you have a lot of Crystal Cores?”
Dr. Yao remembered how Xing Taining had just brought an entire box of Crystal Cores to the hospital’s payment desk, which had surprised everyone in the lobby.
“Doctor Yao, they just entered the base; they probably don’t know there are things for sale inside the base,”
the assistant reminded in a low voice.
So that was it. Yao Yi nodded. Indeed, many patients who had just entered the base didn’t know the rules of the base.
“You can eat at the Base Hospital usually, but the Heart Talk Convenience Store in the base also sells food. Oh, right, they also sell meat and eggs. Since you have enough Crystal Cores, go buy some,”
Yao Yi continued to explain, feeling it was his unquestionable duty to advertise for the Heart Talk Store as a member of the base.
Heart Talk Convenience Store?
The roomful of people was suddenly stunned. Could they actually buy supplies?
“Xiao Yao, I’m just about to get off work as well, so let me take them there,”
Lin Tianhui had already changed out of her healer’s clothes and was ready to leave work when she passed by the door and heard the conversation.
“Alright, Aunt Lin, then we will head back first,”
Yao Yi knew that Lin Tianhui knew these people, which was why he had taken the time to explain in more detail. Moreover, these people looked so pitiable that he couldn’t help but be reminded of himself when he was starving in the villa…
Although Zhou Chengren was still temporarily unable to move, there was no serious problem left. To witness the convenience store that the doctor mentioned, which apparently sold meat and eggs, the remaining eleven men all followed Lin Tianhui curiously.
“You’ve been through a lot today and haven’t eaten yet, right? Just ahead, there is a Heart Talk Branch. They have tables and chairs, and you can sit down to eat something after buying,”
Lin Tianhui said, looking at this group of skinny young men. She had some doubts, though. Xing Taining used to be the captain of a team, after all; how did he end up like this?
From a distance, Su Jin and Su Xiangzhe saw Lin Tianhui, and behind her, a group of men who looked like refugees, very noticeable as they walked through the hall.
“Wife, we’ve come to take you home,”
Su Xiangzhe took the bag from Lin Tianhui’s hand and said while glancing at the group of men behind her.
“Captain Xing?”
Su Jin was the first to recognize Xing Taining at the front, solely because Xing Taining and his brother, Xing Taian, looked so much alike. She had met Xing Taian not long ago, but what was Xing Taining doing here?
“Long time no see,”
Xing Taining felt somewhat constrained; the Su family looked neat and clean, while he and his brothers… well, they were quite the sight.
“Alright, let’s talk while we walk. I promised Captain Xing I’d take them to the Heart Talk Branch to buy some things first,”
Lin Tianhui said as people passing by started to give them sidelong glances.
“I see. Then I’ll join all of you,”
Su Xiangzhe also remembered Xing Taining but felt it somewhat inappropriate for Lin Tianhui to take such a group of men by herself.
“Sure, then Mom and Dad, you go ahead with Captain Xing, and after we finish handing in the mission at the mission hall, we’ll go to Aunt Lin’s to find you,”
Su Jin was curious but knew the day’s mission still needed to be completed, so she suggested splitting up.
It seems like the situation in City D is quite bad, Su Jin thought.
