Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 720: Evidence of Mission Completion
Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Evidence of Mission Completion
Qiao and David felt even the servants in the mansion looked down on them with disdain, and once they learned the reason, they were all infuriated yet found it laughable.
Even if they said they had eliminated all the Zombie Cockroaches in Dead City Tawar City and even Ouk City, no one would believe them, right?
“We were planning to look for Xius and Elder Russell tomorrow, but it seems God doesn’t want us to rest yet,”
Qiao said as he stretched lazily.
They had been checked for several hours outside the city gate, and it was already nine o’clock at night. Although the base was still brightly lit, it wasn’t the time to report on the mission anymore.
“Luckily, we have the video Morris took,”
Reese said, feeling for the first time that Morris’s logistics work was very adequate.
“Let’s go, what are we waiting for? Lina is definitely badmouthing Qiao right now,”
David urged. He had heard Lina, that gossip, badmouth Qiao too many times. Now, she was surely ranting in front of the servants, calling Qiao an incompetent heir to the family.
In a luxurious villa at the very heart of the Y country base, a brown curly-haired woman was incessantly talking in front of a crowd.
“Elder Russell, I think you shouldn’t have sent out those elite men loyal to our Nickle Family today. It’s such a waste to have them follow Qiao, a man who is simply the most incompetent I’ve ever seen, suitable only for errands and delivering messages,”
Lina shrugged her shoulders, implying it was nothing more than an obvious fact.
“Qiao is indeed suited for delivering messages, he’s just luckier,”
A middle-aged man who was about the same age as Russell said. His name was Mo Fei, and he was the Deputy Elder of the Nickle Family.
“Being lucky is rare indeed. On our warrior’s battlefield, we like being with those who are lucky because everyone believes that good fortune is contagious,”
The voice of General Bard, with his mutton-chop beard, boomed like thunder, resounding through the villa’s council hall.
“The general is absolutely right, our Nickle Family has always been fortunate, watched over by the goddess of luck,”
Xius said with a smile, though his smile did not seem sincere.
Elder Russell just sat back in his elder’s seat, neither agreeing nor objecting. He had seen such council meetings too many times and knew nothing would change.
“Chieftain Xius, everyone, Qiao has arrived,”
The maid Maggie came in and said.
“I really don’t know how he still has the face to come here,”
Lina sat down in her seat, appearing ready to listen to someone’s report.
Elder Russell finally lifted his eyes, his gaze perhaps holding a trace of interest.
So, what kind of news would Qiao bring?
Qiao walked in with David and a few others, followed by Avril Abby and six Special Ability Users who had gone out with them during the day. Everyone expected them to look dejected, but surprisingly, they all appeared confident and joyful.
“Surprisingly, everyone is still awake. It seems we’ve come at the right moment,”
Qiao said with a smile.
“What do you mean? Are you here to say that you fled Tawar City as soon as you arrived there? Sorry, we’ve already heard about that,”
Lina said with a sneer.
“My dear sister, I don’t know where you heard that erroneous bit of news, but the fact is, today we not only entered Tawar City but also entered Ouk City,”
Qiao’s words left everyone in shock. Tawar City, Ouk City? Entered them?
How could that be possible?!
“Did you go in and come out in an armored vehicle?” Mo Fei asked.
“Of course not, Mo Fei… Deputy Elder, the Heart Talk Team completely eliminated the Zombie Cockroaches in both cities, not a single one left,”
Qiao calmly replied.
“Qiao, are you telling the truth?”
Only Russell slowly stood up, looking at Qiao and his group in surprise.
He knew that Qiao never exaggerated the truth.
“Qiao, is there evidence?”
Xius also became serious, Zombie Cockroaches in both cities?
“Heart Talk Team truly is professional, they even had us take a video for the mission’s verification, which I will have Morris show to everyone present,”
After Qiao finished speaking, Morris took out a cellphone, walked over to a projector in the council hall, and began connecting the device.
“You better not be playing us, how can there not be a single Zombie Cockroach left? Do you remember the terrible price our previous warriors paid?”
The projector took a while to turn on, and Lina still spoke in disbelief.
“Miss Lina, it’s exactly as Qiao said, each of us saw it,”
Yin Fu said.
The shaky images gradually appeared before everyone on the screen, and Morris, a bit embarrassed, explained that, since it was filmed on a cellphone, the image might not be very clear, and he hoped everyone would not mind.
However, no one heard his words anymore because everyone present, except for Qiao and his group, was captivated by the images on the screen.
“My God, what is that green thing?”
Elder Mo Fei muttered.
Qiao did not respond but instead, after Morris finished playing the Dead City Tawar City verification video, had Morris play the verification results for Ouk City.
“How is this possible, how is this possible?”
Lina kept repeating this phrase.
“Qiao, I think you should explain to us now,”
Xius looked towards Qiao, who had been calm all along; clearly, his earlier confidence stemmed from this.
If that was the case, then he indeed had reason to be confident; it seemed the Heart Talk Team was as competent as people said.
“Yes, I am now ready to explain to everyone,”
Qiao nodded in response, then explained to everyone present about their journey today, the Mutated Moss in the video, and the current situation in both cities.
“So that’s it, that’s it, the mutual life and restraint that has always existed in Huaxia, hahaha,”
Elder Russell was very happy, and everyone felt they had never seen Russell so excited before.
“So our country Y is saved!”
General Bard also expressed joy, for what could be more exciting than finding a way to eliminate the Zombie Cockroaches?
“All thanks to the assistance of the few from the Heart Talk Team, it was God who brought them before us,”
Qiao credited the completion of the task entirely to the Heart Talk Team, as they hadn’t really contributed much against the Zombie Cockroaches themselves.
But the look Elder Russell gave Qiao became more and more pleased.
“Such a person, it would be good if he could stay in our country Y,”
Mo Fei said.
“Elder Mo Fei is absolutely right, but let’s discuss this matter after all tasks are completed,”
Xius also felt somewhat better; if the Zombie Cockroach issue could be resolved, then the Nickle Family’s rule over country Y would be even more stable.
