Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 772: The One Who Explores Origins
Chapter 772: Chapter 772: The One Who Explores Origins
Su Jin only then realized that Kou Ning was planning to go out to kill zombies after evening.
It was already afternoon by this time, and many teams of Special Ability Users had returned from the outside. Su Jin stayed here also because the Heart Talk Team would pass by this place when they returned, so she was waiting for everyone to come back.
“At this time? Are you going out alone?”
Su Jin couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, there are too many people outside during the day, it’s quieter and cooler at night,”
While speaking, Kou Ning picked up a dirty backpack lying at his feet. Su Jin recognized the backpack—it was the very one her grandfather had asked her to take out from the space.
Watching Kou Ning walk out, Su Jin felt that her aunt’s earlier thought was too simplistic, assuming he would start earning Crystal Cores during the day after a couple of days. But who in their right mind would go out to kill zombies at night?
“Let him be here, I see he’s rather bored alone. Maybe he thinks there will be some company in our store,”
Lin Tianzhen also said helplessly, Kou Ning wasn’t very old, just about Lin Xiuyuan’s age, and since coming to the base, he had indeed been peacefully following the rules, if one ignored the habit of him trespassing into others’ territories…
Su Jin didn’t dwell on Kou Ning’s matter anymore. Although what she had heard about him was different from his past, at least now, he was not posing a threat to the people of Heart Talk Team. That was enough.
…
Lu Hao and his group had also successfully brought Chang Xuan and the four others to the S City base where they thanked them profusely. It was then Chang Xuan asked:
“I wonder if there’s a way to look for someone once we’re inside the base?”
“You can go to the administrative building; they have someone specifically in charge of this,”
Guo Yang replied, being long-term residents of the base, they were very clear about the various places inside. If one could determine the time frame when the person they were looking for arrived, he had heard that it wouldn’t even take a minute to find them.
“That would be very convenient. I wonder if our people have arrived,”
Mu Deyun and the others were visiting the S City base for the first time. However, they were too disheveled and hadn’t had the mood to properly appreciate the base yet.
“Please, have you found any clues in Y Province?”
Lin Xiuyuan curiously asked, after Mu Deyun and others had explained their itinerary and the reason they went to Y Province. Now that they had returned, did it mean they had found something?
Chang Xuan shook his head. He wanted to say something, but his cracked lips trembled slightly, as if that place was a terrifying one.
“Y Province… is too terrible; there are no live people left. We couldn’t find anyone to ask when we got there,”
Mu Deyun said with a furrowed brow, although their trip was not entirely without clues.
“What? M Peak is melting?”
Xue Wanyi couldn’t help but listen more carefully when he heard about Y Province, as he had also been transported back from there, and he remembered that there were no signs of melting of M Peak at that time.
“We only saw it from a distance. There were too many zombies there, and later we encountered countless zombies. Several companions sacrificed themselves to…”
Shan Zhuxuan started to cry while speaking, their companions had stayed behind to buy time for them to escape.
Liao Yifan, seeing this, nudged Guo Yang who immediately understood and took out a pack of tissues, passing them to Liao Yifan with a grin.
“Don’t cry, after all, who could have expected it would be that dangerous, it’s not your fault,”
Liao Yifan comforted while letting Shan Zhuxuan wipe her tears.
“That was the first place it happened. There must be something there, there must be something there,”
Chang Xuan muttered.
The height of Mount M is extremely high. The higher one climbs towards the summit, the lower the temperature should become. However, the white snow on Mount M seemed to be melting from the top down, which was not at all realistic.
“I think this isn’t a situation that just a few of you can investigate clearly, nor is it a task any one team can complete,”
Lu Hao said upon hearing this.
To ascertain the true cause of the Apocalypse in such a vast environment, merely relying on the efforts of one party is highly unlikely, especially since there are no bases in Y Province.
“You’re right. At best, we’re just the first group of scouts,”
Mu Deyun completely agreed.
At this point, the two hours of waiting had passed. Lu Hao hesitated, but decided to bring four people to find Liang Jiuqing.
“Let me take them to find my brother? Who are they?”
Liang Jiuqing asked curiously, as the few people looked rather disheveled. They didn’t seem to be from the S City base either. Did Lu Hao know them?
“We encountered them on the way. They are likely scientists from B City headed to Y Province to find the cause of the Apocalypse. But now, only these few are left, and they seem to be looking for someone,”
Lu Hao and Liang Jiuqing explained from a distance.
“No problem, count on me,”
Liang Jiuqing always respected scientists. Those people in their base, like Dr. Pei and Lian Ze, were all big-deal individuals, so upon hearing about these few from Lu Hao, he immediately agreed.
After saying goodbye to several people, the group continued towards the base…
On the second day of fighting together, Yin Chengtian and the others still felt the soreness in their muscles, but they also felt invigorated. Considering the variety of dishes laid out before them that could replenish their strength, none complained and even looked forward to departing the next day.
“Why is the weather getting hotter? It wasn’t this hot at this time before,”
Liao Yifan, already having taken a cool shower upon returning from the outlying estate, came in. Those who went out now had to immediately take a shower upon returning, otherwise even they couldn’t stand their own body odor.
“The temperatures in the Apocalypse can’t be assessed using past common sense. Didn’t someone say today that even the peak of Mount M is melting?”
Guo Yang forced himself to snap out of staring at Liao Yifan’s smooth neck, the few strands of wet hair on it making her skin appear even more porcelain.
The family members who did not go out heard about the return of Chang Xuan and the others from Lu Hao, but since they had to pretend not to know them, even the most curious, Lu Guanhai, didn’t ask much. He would ask later in the evening in the Space.
“I think we all need to get ready for the heat in the coming months,”
Su Jin said.
She died in the next month in her previous life, and the weather then was much hotter than it was now.
Water Element Ability Users had become more and more in demand in that environment. If a team went out without a Water Element Ability User, it was very easy for someone to suffer from dehydration or heatstroke.
“Does the extreme cold pass just for the extreme heat to arrive?”
Guo Yang shook his head, knowing that this was also the reason why Lu Hao insisted on them going out to train.
The human bases might be very safe now, but no one can ensure the future.
The environment of the future Apocalypse, could it become even more severe?
