Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 771 Liu Mo’s Comfort
Chapter 771: Chapter 771 Liu Mo’s Comfort
The zombies trailing that vehicle were indeed not easy to resolve; among the more than four hundred zombies, nearly seventy percent were mutated zombies. Some zombies had even broken their legs but were still dragging their mutilated bodies along.
However, this was just right for the members of the Heart Talk Team, who were too lazy to change locations.
Mu Deyun and his party really had no intention of drawing the attention of monsters to those few people by the roadside, but those people took the initiative to charge out and start fighting the zombies behind them. Consequently, despite feeling both surprised and exhausted, they immediately stopped the horribly smashed vehicle and rushed down.
“Sorry, we don’t have the ability to clear these zombies, we’ve caused you trouble,”
Mu Deyun said to Lu Hao in the vehicle.
“Hmm, we haven’t completed our crystal core task for today; these zombies have come at just the right time for us, so don’t worry about it,”
Lu Hao looked at the newcomers with a moment of surprise. Weren’t these few the team of scientists they had encountered on the road out of D City before?
But since they had met under the guise of the Dragon Ruler identity back then, he could only pretend not to recognize them now.
Mu Deyun glanced at Lv Yan, who had followed him down, zombies… given to them?
“We’ll join you,”
Shan Zhuxuan had already charged into the fray from another side, she said to a capable-looking woman nearby.
“Ah? No need, we need these crystal cores, just wait over there,”
The woman who had rushed over looked tragically wretched, and even as a woman herself, Liao Yifan felt compassion, so she decisively refused.
As a result, Mu Deyun and his group could only watch, helplessly, as the large group of zombies they had attracted was effortlessly slaughtered by the few people by the roadside. They also noticed that there were many zombie corpses that seemed to have just been dealt with and whose crystal cores had not yet been extracted.
“Are you headed to the S City base?”
When Lu Hao saw that everyone from the vehicle had disembarked, his heart skipped a beat – was this all that remained of their group?
“Yes, we plan to regroup at the S City base for a while; it’s possible there are still people there waiting to meet up with us,”
Mu Deyun answered.
“There’s still some distance to the S City base from here. Why don’t you follow us for now? Once our task is over, we’ll head back, and we can also ensure your safety,”
Lu Hao said, knowing that the situation within the city wasn’t safe either. These few people were clearly in a bad state, and the scientist named Chang Xuan also seemed to be alive.
“Really? That would be so great, thank you!”
Lv Yan was somewhat moved. He remembered that the last time he felt this way was after they had left D City and encountered the group from Dragon Ruler. Now that they had just arrived in S City and found people willing to help, it was clear that there were still many good people left in the apocalypse.
Lin Xiuyuan and Nie Qing also recognized Mu Deyun and his party, and they too felt that their group had a certain fate with these people. Was it because of their selfless spirit? That must be why Lu Hao wanted to help them.

Su Jin, who was helping out at the Heart Talk Branch, also ran into Doctor Liu, Liu Mo, who had performed her prenatal checkup last time. Recalling some of her recent thoughts, Su Jin had some questions she wanted to ask Doctor Liu.
Liu Mo also caught sight of Su Jin, and seeing her in good spirits, her expression brightened even more.
“Doctor Liu, do you have a moment? I have something I want to ask,”
Su Jin said with a smile as she approached Liu Mo.
“Of course, it’s fine. You’ve been gone for so long, and yet you’ve kept up a good complexion,”
Liu Mo had come to regard Su Jin as her own patient, and she also had a good relationship with Lin Tianhui at the Base Hospital. So, seeing Su Jin made her feel very close to her.
Seeing Kou Ning, who had been eating a lot of meat, had fallen asleep on a table in the resting area nearby, Su Jin shook her head and led Liu Mo into the back room to rest.
“What’s all the secrecy about?”
Liu Mo asked with a smile.
Su Jin poured a cup of water and handed it to Liu Mo, then asked somewhat nervously, “Doctor Liu, I’m carrying twins. I wanted to ask if our Base Hospital is equipped to perform a cesarean section?”
Regarding the birth, Su Jin had thought a lot about it, but because she was a bit embarrassed, she had not yet discussed it with her family. If possible, she would like to choose a cesarean section.
It wasn’t because she was afraid of the pain of a natural birth, but rather she felt that a cesarean section would be more suitable for her.
Liu Mo was a bit surprised, but then felt relieved and said,
“Actually, I’ve been wanting to bring this up with your mother as well. Carrying twins is considered a high-risk pregnancy, and generally, I would recommend a cesarean section. Moreover, the surgery isn’t difficult, and our Base Hospital is entirely capable now.”
Before the Apocalypse, expectant mothers carrying twins would generally choose a cesarean section, which is a safer choice for both the mother and the children. In an Apocalypse with Healing Element Ability Users, she also believes that a cesarean section is more suitable for the mothers.
After all, whether it’s the internal wounds or the scars left on the skin, both can be healed using Healing Art from a Healing Element Ability User. Su Jin’s mother is the most skilled healer in the base, so she believes there is no need for Su Jin to insist on a natural birth with twins.
“I’m relieved to hear Doctor Liu say this. I’ve been worried that our hospital wasn’t equipped, so I hadn’t discussed it with my family,”
Su Jin said with a smile, her thoughts aligning with Liu Mo’s. Her natural healing abilities alone would allow her body to recover.
“Child, you don’t need to worry too much. I’ll also talk to your mother later on. The obstetricians at our hospital were all experts in gynecology before the Apocalypse. Let Doctor Yao be in charge of the anesthesia, and we’ll ensure a perfectly safe procedure,”
Liu Mo consoled. She understood that expectant mothers tend to worry a lot, not because they are being difficult, but because it’s their first time and a moment when women come closest to death. It’s at this time that they most need the courage from others.
“Thank you, Doctor Liu.”
Su Jin finally felt relieved.
Before Liu Mo left, she gave her some cured meats and sausages made by Lin Yunguo as a token of appreciation.
Liu Mo didn’t refuse because she knew she couldn’t, and refusing further would seem insincere, so she graciously accepted them.
The relieved Su Jin turned to go back inside the store but discovered that Kou Ning had woken up at some point and was now propped on the table, watching her.
“Um… is it good?”
Kou Ning was referring to the cured meats and sausages that Su Jin had just taken out.
There seemed to be a wide variety of meats in the Heart Talk Store…
“…”
Su Jin began to doubt Kou Ning’s senses. A dog’s nose, perhaps? Kou Ning had clearly been sleeping soundly just moments ago.
Yet she patiently explained, “These are homemade, they’re not for sale in the store yet, and it’s best to fry the cured meats and sausages with other ingredients.”
“Could you fry some for me? I’ll pay whatever amount of Crystal Cores needed!”
Kou Ning swallowed hard, prompting a laugh from Su Jin.
“All right, we’ll prepare some for you tomorrow to try. See if it suits your palate. Oh, do you eat spicy food?”
Su Jin asked.
“Mhm, mhm, mhm! I do!”
Kou Ning eagerly nodded in response, stood up, and straightened his shoelaces and clothes before stretching and saying, “Ah~ Full and rested, now’s my time to hunt~”
