Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 464 - 464 464 Entering D City Base
Chapter 464: Chapter 464 Entering D City Base Chapter 464: Chapter 464 Entering D City Base As it turned out, the family’s luck was still not bad; besides the various urea and fertilizer bags outside, there were many unmarked white food bags inside.
Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying also came out and searched through the bags in the warehouse.
To avoid waste, Su Jin collected all the bags of various sizes inside the whole warehouse into her space, including those urea bags printed with the word “urea.” These were non-renewable items, just in case they might be useful in the future.
Feeling the harsh air outside, Lin Yunguo tightened the zipper of Li Xiuying’s coat.
The weather here was already deep winter. Lin Yunguo, who had prepared himself mentally, felt that coming out of the space wasn’t particularly cold, probably because of taking the spatial elixir, which had greatly improved their physical condition compared to before.
“We can finally set off.”
Su Xiangzhe took over from Lin Cheng and started driving the minibus, impassively running over one zombie after another as he spoke.
Su Jin had also heard some details about City D from Xing Taining and his group. The survivors in City D were all still in the base, as City D was a second-tier city with a large population even before the Apocalypse, and the number of zombies was not small. For survivors to make a living outside the base was almost impossible.
This could also be seen from the ever-increasing number of zombies outside. Su Xiangzhe, while driving, used his Thunder Element Ability to repel batches of zombies trying to climb onto the minibus. He executed this skill perfectly, saving everyone a lot of time.
The family’s second visit to City D initially had a sense of revisiting old haunts, but they hadn’t expected City D to be so desolate now, to the point that there was hardly anyone guarding the entrance of the base.
“Are we… just going to walk in like this?”
Lin Xiuyuan asked in surprise, wondering how there could be no one guarding the door.
“It seems so.”
Huang Yunxiang replied, looking at the unfamiliar base.
Su Jin also looked at the desolate base speechlessly. Did the people here really have Crystal Cores to buy supplies?
The group continued walking forward. Upon reaching a corner of the street, Lin Cheng found himself unable to move. He looked down and saw that a pair of grimy hands was holding onto his legs.
“…”
Lin Cheng’s pause also caught the attention of Huang Yunxiang nearby, and it was then that the family noticed a skinny figure in gray clothes lying on the incredibly grey floor.
“Cough cough, hello, do you need guiding services?”
The figure on the ground slowly climbed up Lin Cheng’s legs and stood up, speaking in a hoarse D city accent.
He pushed the dirty black hair away from his cheeks, and Su Jin could barely make out that he seemed to be a teenager.
“Kid, how can you guide us if you can hardly even stand?”
Nie Qing squatted down and asked.
“Uncle, don’t worry, just give me a bun and I can show you around the entire base,” the boy slowly stood up, steadying himself after a sway.
A flatbread and a bottle of water appeared in front of the boy.
The boy, surprised, followed the flatbread to the sight of delicate hands and an exceedingly plain face.
“Here, take this, we need guiding services,”
Su Jin said with a smile.
The boy’s eyes widened in disbelief at the size of the flatbread. Was it really such a large piece?
He hurriedly took it, then took two big bites, it was really a flatbread made from white flour!
“Kid, eat slowly, don’t choke,”
Lin Yunguo looked at the young man with a complex expression and said, “This is just too pitiful.”
While eating, the young man glanced around at the few people in front of him and nodded. Among these people, why did these two grandparents seem to be the better looking?
However, he did not finish the flatbread, eating only a few bites before gulping down half a bottle of water. It seemed like he regained his spirit, as his eyes shone brightly and he said, “Benefactors, thank you. I can live a few more days now.”
The young man’s name was Kong Shangjie. He was a local from D City and one of the first survivors to enter the D City base. Previously, he also had a team that killed zombies, and he himself was an Earth Element Ability User.
But due to the gradual scarcity of supplies, killing zombies all day didn’t even get him a meal anymore, and eventually, even killing for two days couldn’t get him a bun. Gradually, the team disbanded, and he had to find odd jobs. Before this, he had nearly gone four days without any food.
“We want to find a quiet place to stay first,”
Su Jin said.
“That’s easy, follow me,”
Kong Shangjie waved his hand, indicating for Su Jin and her group to follow him.
Li Xiuying felt more and more distressed. It was such cold weather, and Kong Shangjie, who was walking in front, wasn’t even wearing shoes. His black and gray feet were swollen from the cold, yet he seemed completely unaware and continued walking.
The family also felt uncomfortable watching this. Su Jin took out a pair of men’s cotton slippers with heels from her space and handed them to Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan immediately understood, grabbed Kong Shangjie, who was in front, and said, “Young brother, take these, please put them on.”
Kong Shangjie was surprised. The fluffy cotton slippers looked incredibly warm. Were they really for him?
“These… they’re too valuable,”
Kong Shangjie touched the slippers handed to him by Lin Xiuyuan and said.
Seeing his joyful expression, Lin Xiuyuan stuffed them into his hands and said, “I beg you, please put them on quickly, otherwise we’ll all feel terrible. ”
Kong Shangjie looked at his bare feet, smiled sheepishly, and thanked Lin Xiuyuan while slipping on the fluffy slippers.
They were indeed so warm. The slippers were even cleaner and warmer than his clothes…
Many of the houses in the D City base were detached houses, apparently built as homes before the apocalypse, and there was no housing management center like in S City.
Kong Shangjie knocked on the gate of a courtyard. Soon, the iron gate opened.
“Brother Chen, someone wants to rent a house, what do you think…”
Kong Shangjie said with a smile.
Rent a house?
Chen Fu was surprised. Who would want to rent a house these days? Renting a house required the exchange of supplies.
“Renting a house requires supplies, do you have any?”
Chen Fu asked skeptically, looking at the few people behind Kong Shangjie, who seemed well-dressed, wondering if they had supplies…
“Yes, we want a spacious and independent house,”
Lu Hao stepped forward and said.
Seeing the tall, distinguished man with a somewhat flat face, Chen Fu nodded and signaled Kong Shangjie to lead the group onward.
Chen Fu led the group to a courtyard at the end of the row of buildings; the courtyard door opened to reveal a very spacious interior.
After handing over two kilograms of rice, Chen Fu left excitedly. It was two kilograms of pure rice! These people really had more money than sense.
