Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 722: Discuss in Advance
Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Discuss in Advance
Qiao sighed and slowly began to speak.
“Zombie cockroach nests are essentially just a few particularly large cockroach dens, dominated by countless zombie cockroaches. Even after being infected with the zombie virus, these cockroaches continue to lay eggs, which then hatch into smaller zombie cockroaches.”
Because those places were filled with zombie cockroach eggs and cockroaches, that’s why the people of Country Y called them ’zombie cockroach nests’.”
The first nest they were heading to that day used to be a breeding farm before the apocalypse, mainly for raising chickens and ducks, which were favorites among the people of Country Y.
After the apocalypse, the special ability users with great difficulty eradicated all the zombie chickens and ducks on the farm, only to find a storage depot with chicken and duck eggs. Just as people were joyfully collecting the eggs from the depot, tragedy struck.
It was then that zombie cockroaches first came into the survivors’ view in Country Y; of the hundreds who went on that farm mission, only three lived to tell the tale. The rest were said to have been consumed by the zombie cockroaches…”
“How tragic…”
Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the people of Country Y.
“If it were just that kind of zombie den, it would be fine. We later sent many fire element ability users with gasoline and other flammable objects to clean them up, but inside there formed huge zombie cockroaches. Even if you burn them, their bodies still contain tens of thousands of zombie cockroach eggs, which are impossible to completely eradicate,”
Qiao continued, saying not only were they unable to fully eradicate them, but they also lost a large number of fire element ability users in the process.
Huge zombie cockroaches?
“How big are these huge zombie cockroaches?”
Huang Yunxiang asked tentatively.
“As big as a person,”
Qiao replied.
As big as a human? That didn’t seem too large.
Huang Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief; they had faced many large mutant animals before — if it was only the size of a person, it should be easy.
But Qiao shook his head and said, “They are too tough; you can’t burn through them or chop them to death, and many small zombie cockroaches unexpectedly rush out of their bodies, which is the trickiest part.”
“If that’s the case, relying on the girl’s mutated moss alone might not be enough, right?”
Nie Qing asked, knowing that although mutated moss could devour large creatures, it was much slower and couldn’t swallow them in an instant.
If the giant zombie cockroaches were that troublesome, it seemed they had to be dealt with first.
“Burn them through,”
Lu Hao said, affirming his commitment to protecting everyone.
“Hanson is a fire element ability user at level six; perhaps he could be of some use too,”
Qiao, though not understanding what Lu Hao meant, still didn’t want to scare the Heart Talk Team.
“Do you want to wear Liang Jiuhui’s clothes?”
Su Jin suddenly remembered the pile of battle clothes invented by Lian Ze; if someone accidentally got zombie cockroaches on them, the clothes could provide some protection, right? So she turned her head and quietly asked her family.
“I absolutely refuse,”
Lin Xiuyuan rejected the idea, feeling an intrinsic aversion to the tight red clothes.
Like Lin Xiuyuan’s reaction, the family unanimously shook their heads. Although Huaxia people traditionally loved the festive red color, the thought of them all wearing tight red clothes made their skin crawl. Even Mao Qiqi decisively refused.
Su Jin had heard from Mao Zhihang, who was in her space, that after they left the base, the battle clothes had begun production, and in recent days, they had officially gone on sale at the base, and they weren’t cheap.
If that was the case…
“Qiao, I have a few battle clothes produced by the S City base here; do you and your companions want to wear them just to be safe?”
Su Jin asked with a smile.
She wasn’t planning to sell the Battle Clothes given to her by Liang Jiuhui, but she did want to take the opportunity to promote the virtues of the Battle Clothes on behalf of the base in S City.
Without discussing other bases, the Crystal Core had become increasingly important to the base in S City. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have started exchanging Crystal Cores for Battle Clothes.
Moreover, should they encounter any dangers, the few pieces of Battle Clothes could also offer some protection to the people inside the vehicle.
“My God, are you talking about the Battle Clothes developed by the S City base’s research institute?”
The driver, David, nearly lost control of the vehicle. They had seen the performance evaluation of those Battle Clothes, and at the time, they all thought they were nothing short of miraculous. Could it be the very same ones Su Jin mentioned?
“Yep, that’s the one, and if you guys are going to wear them, you’ll need to return them to me afterward,” Su Jin said with a smile as she took out a set of Battle Clothes from her Space.
“Miss Su, are you and your companions not going to wear them?”
Qiao asked hesitantly. After all, these were Battle Clothes, and Su Jin was actually willing to let them have them?
“We’re not used to wearing them,” Su Jin replied truthfully.
Even though Su Jin said this, those who knew about the capabilities of the Battle Clothes still felt that Su Jin was intentionally looking out for them, until she took all the Battle Clothes out. Then, Reese was stunned again.
“Abby, Avril, do you know what this is?” Morris said excitedly, educating the two sisters.
Looking at the pieces of clothing, the two sisters fell silent for a moment, then answered, “Underwear?”
“…”
Those who understood, including Su Jin and Lu Hao, thought that the sisters’ answer wasn’t exactly wrong; they did indeed resemble that.
“My Lord, what is this? Are we going to wear these?” asked the tall and burly Jerome, incredulously, despite Qiao’s repeated explanations that these were clothes designed to prevent injuries from zombie scratches.
After Avril tried to attack Morris, who had put on the Battle Clothes, with her Metal Element Ability, everyone in the vehicle finally completely changed their view of the clothes.
This was life-saving magical clothing!
The kind of clothing that had previously only existed in myths and legends!
“I just hope Hanson and the others don’t think we’re a car full of perverts,”
said Abby, looking at Avril, who had already put her Battle Clothes on over her outfit because they couldn’t change inside the vehicle and had to return the clothes to the Heart Talk Team later, hence, everyone wore them on the outside.
Lin Xiuyuan felt he was about to burst into internal laughter; sitting to his left was a row of Spider-Men. Ha ha ha ha!
“The number is just right, not one too many, not one too few,”
Su Jin said with satisfaction, seeing that everyone in the vehicle managed to get a suit on. At the time, Liang Jiuhui had brought out Lian Jiyue’s Battle Clothes as well, so now, all 10 people in the vehicle had a piece each. She had no more in her Space.
Thus, during a stop midway to clear the zombies that were blocking their way, Hanson’s group was stunned when they saw the attire of Qiao and the people behind him.
“Oh God, are they heading to a comedy talent show?” Bruno said from behind Hanson. Comedy Talent was the most popular comedy variety show in Y country before the Apocalypse, and he thought the group in front was perfectly suited for it.
“I think they’ve probably gone mad; don’t mind them,”
Leo said disdainfully, uninterested in them.
Just like when the two teams met in the morning, Hanson’s Team completely ignored the greetings from Qiao’s group. Now, too, it seemed that speaking to them was an embarrassing matter.
