Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 455 - 455 455 The Birth of Zhang Xiaohong
Chapter 455: Chapter 455: The Birth of Zhang Xiaohong Chapter 455: Chapter 455: The Birth of Zhang Xiaohong Although he was still skeptical of Su Jin’s words, Wang Qiang had no choice but to go to the side and count Crystal Cores as they asked.
Huang Yunxiang was counting and thinking to herself that it would be great if there were a machine like a bill counter specifically for Crystal Cores; she was facing a rhythm of counting Crystal Cores all day!
“Can Mutated Crystal Nuclei also be included?”
Dong Junshan asked. Although Mutated Crystal Nuclei could enhance a Special Ability User’s strength by absorption, when it came to power and survival, he would still choose the latter.
“Yes,”
Lu Hao replied. The only issue was that each level of Mutated Crystal Nucleus corresponded to a different number of Ordinary Crystal Cores, so they would need to go to Su Xiangzhe to do the conversion.
The group was quite delighted to hear this, especially since one Level Four Mutated Crystal Nucleus was equivalent to 200 Ordinary Crystal Cores.
“I suggest we don’t convert all our Mutated Crystal Nuclei into supplies. After all, if your strength increases, you will be able to obtain even more Crystal Cores in the future,”
Su Jin advised.
In the future?
“Will we still be able to buy supplies in the future?” Shi Ming asked.
“Yes, we will visit here periodically. You can save up your Crystal Cores and wait for our next visit,”
Su Jin said with a smile.
Such was the situation in the Apocalypse; they had discussed it last night in the Space. With sufficient supplies in the Space, taking the path of a mobile supply provider could perhaps earn them more Crystal Cores, especially since City A was close to City S.
Sure enough, business was picking up.
Wang Qiang and his group had already exchanged all their available Crystal Cores for food and also traded for some noodles and meat eggs that two elderly people next to them were selling.
He excitedly bit into a noodle cake; even though it was cold, it was real food!
The aroma of wheat flour filled his bitter mouth. How long had it been since they had eaten food?
Some were eating and had already started crying. It all felt so much like a dream. If it truly were a dream, they hoped never to wake up from it…
Dong Junshan also bit into a piece of meat. Although the old man had said it was from a Mutant animal, could the meat of a Mutant animal really taste this good?
Gradually, more teams arrived, and Lin Xiuyuan had to use his Ice-Element Special Abilities to create a barrier at the front to start regulating the flow.
Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying were selling merrily. They had prepared four days’ worth of food in the Space the night before. Seeing the gleaming eyes of these people looking at the food, and since they weren’t selling it at high prices—a large pancake was only selling for 100 Crystal Cores—it was no surprise.
No one in the family was idle; they took turns eating their lunch in a nearby room after entering the Space.
Slowly, not just the second floor but even the first-floor hall began to fill up. Su Jin hadn’t forgotten the people like Auntie Zhang who had come to help them clean today, asking Lu Hao to take some pancakes to them.
Xiao Zhen, holding a pancake larger than her own face, started eating with Auntie Zhang and the others in the lounge.
“Cui Er, how can there still be such good people these days, giving us work and also feeding us pancakes?”
Auntie Zhang couldn’t help but express her amazement.
“Maybe Heaven couldn’t stand by and watch anymore and sent these people to save us,”
the woman called Cui Er replied, earnestly eating her pancake.
“Right, the goods they sell are really at conscience prices, only 30 Crystal Cores for a kilo of food. That’s dozens of times cheaper than the dry buns we could buy at the base before,”
The women gathered around and chattered away.
Auntie Zhang wiped her tears. If only the people who starved or took their own lives could have held on a little longer. At least, with the arrival of these people, they might be able to make it through the winter.
…
The first group, led by Wang Qiang, had successfully exchanged all the crystal cores in their team for supplies. Knowing that the food suppliers would stay in City A for a few days, he let everyone fill up before rallying the team to go out and hunt for crystal cores again.
The well-fed special ability users were even more spirited, and their enthusiasm for killing zombies reached an unprecedented high.
Thirty zombies equaled one catty of food.
One mutated zombie was worth several catties of food.
In the suburbs, zombies instantly became treasures in everyone’s eyes, and even ordinary people without special abilities began slaughtering ordinary zombies.
It wasn’t just food. Many people were buying winter clothes that a family had collected at the clothing market; as long as the clothes could keep them warm, people didn’t care about the style—they would buy them.
Huang Yunxiang, who had been counting crystal cores, was replaced by Lin Cheng, who went to sell clothes nearby while Lin Cheng let the buyers count the crystal cores themselves as he watched over. Otherwise, he felt he would count so many that he couldn’t even remember the numbers one, two, three, four.
Until evening, there were still teams in line, including many who had exchanged supplies in the morning and had gone out to hunt for more crystal cores.
“No need to rush, everyone. We will be here these days. Those of you who already got supplies this morning can come back tomorrow.”
Su Xiangzhe said loudly. Although they could take turns resting in their space, they weren’t planning to use flashlights to sell supplies in the dark where there was no electricity. They planned to close up in an hour.
“Big sister, what’s your name?”
asked an older man. They still didn’t know what to call these people selling supplies.
“What’s my name?”
Su Jin turned her head to ask Lu Hao behind her—she certainly couldn’t say her name was Su Jin, could she?
“Xiaohong, Xiaoming, Xiaofang?”
At that moment, countless names from his elementary Chinese textbooks popped up in Lu Hao’s mind.
“…”
Su Jin silently turned back, glanced at everyone, and said, “My name is Zhang Xiaohong.”
“…”
Lin Xiuyuan covered his face. What kind of name was that? Could she think of anything more common?
Zhang Xiaohong?
It did match her plain and simple face quite well.
“Xiaohong, I wanted to ask, can we rest here tonight? Don’t worry, we won’t disturb you on this floor. I saw there are two other floors vacant next door. It would be convenient for those of us who couldn’t buy supplies today to come early tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes, we promise not to disturb you,”
people echoed upon hearing his suggestion.
Cai Jianbin and the rest had also returned by that time. Seeing so many teams there to buy supplies, Cai Jianbin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the supplies were quite attractive to everyone.
“Xiaohong, I think it’s fine too. My brothers and I can help keep watch on the first floor.”
Cai Jianbin said, having just learned that the space element ability user’s name was Zhang Xiaohong.
Su Jin’s silence wasn’t because she didn’t want to agree to the survivors’ request, but because she deeply regretted letting them call her Zhang Xiaohong. If only she had called herself Zhang Xiaofang, it would sound a bit better than Zhang Xiaohong…
However, she still replied to everyone, “Of course, you can select any rest area in the other two buildings; we are just temporarily staying here.”
