Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 495 - 495 Four Hundred and Ninety-Five The First
Chapter 495: Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Five: The First Snow Falls Chapter 495: Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Five: The First Snow Falls Everyone suddenly understood, so this Teleportation Array, is it that wherever the Space owner enters and activates it, it will teleport people to that location?
Luckily, they hadn’t activated it halfway through the journey.
“Hmm… it’s quite covert. Xiao Jin, don’t worry, none of us will use this Formation to go to your room without good reason, especially since it costs Crystal Cores,”
Su Xiangzhe said.
Su Jin wanted to say she wasn’t worried, but at this moment, everyone was happily chattering away.
“Hahaha, but we’ve finally succeeded, eh? From now on, even if we travel far, it’s only a one-way trip,”
Lu Guanhai said, dancing with joy. This feature was very convenient in the Apocalypse.
“Indeed, we can save half the time now,”
Su Jin was also somewhat happy. Although the Teleportation Array had cost everyone some Crystal Cores, once activated, it could be used indefinitely, which really was a convenient thing.
“Alright, everyone has been busy for half the day, let’s hurry up and rest,”
Li Xiuying instructed. Although they hadn’t left the base to kill zombies these past few days, everyone was still busy with all sorts of things. Now that it was deep into the night outside, it was time to rest.
…
Outside the Wood Spirit Space, the night was as dark as ink.
Lian Jiyue sniffed the coolness in the air and pushed open the door to the villa’s rooftop.
Snowflakes, pristine and white, gently descended from the pitch-black sky, landing on the tip of his nose, his hair, and his shoulders.
The snowflakes felt so familiar.
Lian Jiyue walked to the bench in the middle and sat down, looking up at the night sky.
His straight nose made the sockets of his eyes appear even deeper, but if Lian Ze saw Lian Jiyue at this moment, he would definitely notice a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Lian Ze, huh?
He remembered that was the name Qiqi mentioned.
Why did this name, like these snowflakes, always carry a sense of familiarity?
But this feeling of familiarity caused the smile in his eyes to fade, replaced by waves of irritability.
The snow kept falling heavier, and gradually a cold wind started to blow.
Dressed in just a light garment, Lian Jiyue shook his head like an animal to dispel his irritability, then walked back towards the door.
Whoever was looking for him, he had to stay here, stay by her side.
He remembered something Lin Xiuyuan said today, not knowing which lucky guy would benefit in the future.
At that moment, he actually wanted to say that he wouldn’t let her be a bargain for any lucky guy, if he could always stay by her side, wouldn’t that mean she wouldn’t need to be a bargain for anyone else?
…
Liao Yifan was awoken early in the morning by the cold.
Because the base was heated at night, she had long since swapped her thick quilt for a thinner one, but she vividly remembered being cold all night.
“I thought it was just a dream…”
Liao Yifan muttered as she looked at the pure white world outside.
It had snowed.
The roads outside, the rooftops, the cars, were all enveloped in a thick layer of white snow, and the snow was still falling now.
Thump, thump, thump.
The door was being knocked on, and Guo Yang outside couldn’t wait to call out Liao Yifan’s name.
“Fanfan, Fanfan, I’ve brought you some down jackets. Come pick a few, you shouldn’t catch a cold, it’s freezing,”
Guo Yang shouted from outside.
Liao Yifan couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile, even she didn’t realize that she had unconsciously gotten used to Guo Yang’s caring concern.
After the door was opened, Guo Yang, seeing Liao Yifan still dressed in just a thin layer, couldn’t help but take out a wool blanket from his space and draped it over her, saying with a displeased tone, “Are you silly or what? It’s snowing and you’re wearing so little. Quickly put these on.”
After finishing his words, Guo Yang tossed several long down jackets of various colors to Liao Yifan and then firmly closed the door.
A stream of warm liquid flowed from Guo Yang’s nose. He couldn’t help but lean against the wall, his mind a whirl of thoughts. Although he was worried about how little Fanfan, his Little Cutie, was wearing, that figure… was truly top-notch…
Xue Wanyi, passing by, looked at Guo Yang with a lovestruck expression and a nosebleed, and couldn’t help but look at him with disgust.
“Go look in a mirror, will you? Aren’t you embarrassed, this early in the morning.”
Xue Wanyi said.
???
It was then that Guo Yang realized he had a nosebleed. Hurriedly pulling out two wet wipes from his space, he started wiping it off while saying, “Heating issue, too dry, totally normal, totally normal.”
“Hmph!”
Xue Wanyi no longer paid attention to the embarrassed Guo Yang, striding towards the main house. He had already caught the scent of breakfast soy milk.
It was really great that Su Jin and the others could come back!
Inside the main house, seeing everyone in a good mood and enjoying breakfast together, Su Jin couldn’t help but eat a bit more.
“We probably won’t be able to train today, so we might come back very early,”
Xue Wanyi said, considering the thick layer of snow that had fallen overnight, fearing that it would no longer permit everyone to train on the training field.
“Yeah, we’ll be back early. If you guys have any chores, just tell us,”
Liao Yifan said to Su Jin, her eyes narrowing with pleasure after a bite of the pork bun.
Even when they didn’t leave the base, Su Jin and the others were busy making braised meat and pancakes in the villa, so she wanted to help out with what she could, especially since her monthly salary couldn’t even match the small earnings Guo Yang made for the team.
“This snow, I’m afraid, won’t stop so soon. We’ll probably have plenty of free time for a while, not much work to do,”
Su Jin said with a smile.
She knew at the beginning of the snowfall the people in the base might find it novel and not take it too seriously, but as the snow kept falling without end and the temperature dropped sharply, they would start to worry.
This snow was also a test for all bases.
Many Special Ability Users trapped in the base could not go out. The number of zombies outside wouldn’t decrease, instead, it might keep increasing, easily leading to a Zombie Tide. If it was a base without defensive measures, it would likely have a hard time getting through this difficulty.
Lian Jiyue was stuffing his mouth with pork buns, one after another, ignoring the corn on the cob Mao Qiqi had pushed towards him.
Only after Mao Qiqi pretended to be angry and glared at him again did he reluctantly pick up the corncob, chewing on it with a look of distaste.
Today, Su Jin planned to go visit Jian Zongzheng and others’ place to check on Zhang Chuyang and Wang Zhu. After all, it had been so long since she had seen them, and she had said she would watch over Wang Zhu and the others. Yet since the Mercenary Corps assessment ended, she hadn’t seen them again.
“They are now high-rank members of the Mercenary Group in the base, and their reputation isn’t bad. I heard they even took on some small tasks,”
Mao Zhihang said before leaving, of course, this was something he overheard at the Heart Talk Branch.
“That’s good. We’re free today anyway. After we cook the meat, we’ll go and see them,”
Su Jin said.
