Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 778: Respect for Guo Yang
Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Respect for Guo Yang
Guo Yang was stunned; this was a scene he had never even imagined. Could it be that Fanfan was thinking…
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you! It’s just that seeing those rats today has left me feeling a bit uneasy,”
Liao Yifan earnestly promised. She really wouldn’t do anything to him; it was just about sharing a room.
“…”
He, on the other hand, wouldn’t mind if she did something.
However, Guo Yang quickly regained his composure and said, “Don’t be afraid, if you stay with me, I’ll protect you, and besides, we are boyfriend and girlfriend.”
“I knew you were the best,”
Liao Yifan’s eyes sparkled with joy, and she contentedly walked towards the others who were cleaning the hall. Guo Yang smiled happily and quickly followed her.
The hall was just a large office really, and everyone just gave it a quick clean-up, planning only to clear out a space for eating.
Considering the possibility that they might not return that day, Su Jin had placed a lot of food in Guo Yang’s space, including snacks and some fruit.
Guo Yang also skillfully took out a microwave and a set of outdoor batteries. They planned to heat up the pre-packed lunches directly in the microwave and eat them right away.
“Really, the things Su Jin asked to bring are quite useful,”
Guo Yang looked at the items crowded on the large office desk and remarked.
Each packaged snack was neatly arranged in storage boxes, including a hot water kettle, folding chairs, water bottles labeled with everyone’s name, and items like flashlights that might be needed at night. If it had been up to him, he probably would have only brought a few cups of instant noodles or noodle cakes.
“Go out more, and you’ll learn,”
Lin Xiuyuan slurped a mouthful of rice mixed with ground chili, the spiciness made him slobber as he spoke.
“On such a hot day, eating such spicy food really makes it hotter,”
Xue Wanyi’s forehead was already sweating. Seeing that everyone felt hot, Lin Xiuyuan simply waved his hand and created two ice walls, enclosing everyone inside.
The cold air from the ice-chilled walls quickly spread to the group sitting in the middle, eating, and in less than a few minutes, everyone felt as if they were in an air-conditioned room, supremely comfortable.
Nie Qing thought that following this group was indeed the right decision. Just like now, as he enjoyed the delicious packed lunch, chatted with everyone, and watched the zombies wandering back and forth downstairs, the experience had its own unique flavor.
After eating, Huang Yunxiang washed a basket of fruits for everyone, and since they had Qiqi with them, they were not worried about anyone suddenly coming here at all. After Guo Yang had placed folding beds in each room, everyone fully relaxed.
When Liao Yifan pushed the door open, she found Guo Yang muttering something to himself in the room.
With his back to the door, he took out two folding beds, hesitated for a moment, put one back into the space, then shook his head and turned it back into two beds again…
He repeated this several times.
“What are you doing?”
Liao Yifan’s voice came from behind, startling Guo Yang, who quickly explained, “I was thinking about where to put the beds…”
“Just put them together,”
Liao Yifan said, being close was safer, and they could help each other if there was any danger.
“Close, close together, oh yeah, close is good,”
Guo Yang, not wanting to appear too timid, hurriedly lowered his head and pulled the two beds together, masking the heat on his face.
On a hot summer night, in the dimly lit abandoned office, Liao Yifan lay on a single bed next to Guo Yang’s, excitedly chatted with him for a while, and then started to feel sleepy.
“Guo Yang, it’s really great to be with you all, I’m not scared at all…”
“Yes, meeting you all is the blessing I earned in my past life,”
Guo Yang said with a smile.
It wasn’t until the even breathing around him reached his ears that he realized the person beside him had already fallen into a deep sleep.
He stretched out his arm, wanting to touch the person beside him who was emitting a faint fragrance, but with a light sigh, he withdrew his arm mid-air, somewhat unwillingly.
The Fanfan he desired could only be his after they were officially together, and that was the only thing he could consider for her now and the greatest respect he could offer to someone he cherished.
In the darkness, Guo Yang smiled helplessly, thinking how could anyone sleep at this time…
In the Wood Spirit Space, Su Jin realized the anxiety her grandparents felt each time they worried about their family members who were outside, as she saw her whole family safely enter.
Although everyone’s abilities were totally capable of handling such simple missions now, just like before the apocalypse when people worried about family members driving outside, the longer the time, the more those random thoughts would unwittingly magnify in their minds.
“Has the shop work been tiring you out?”
Lu Hao asked with concern as soon as he entered.
“Not tiring at all, where are you guys now?”
Su Jin replied with a smile.
“In an office building near a cable factory in the Eastern Suburbs, this place should be very safe. Lin Xiuyuan said he couldn’t sleep, so he’s keeping watch outside first,”
After seeing Su Jin’s still rosy complexion, Lu Hao believed what she said.
“Right, you guys should be careful when you come back tomorrow. I heard that someone encountered a Level Nine Fire Zombie outside today,”
Su Jin said.
News from the Heart Talk Store came very fast; the appearance of a Level Nine Zombie in City S spread quickly.
“Level Nine?!”
Nie Qing and the others gasped in shock, wondering how a Level Nine Zombie could appear so early?
Could it be that a zombie had leveled up?
But no one had encountered a Level Eight Zombie before.
“The person who encountered the Level Nine Zombie, who was it?”
After thinking for a moment, Lu Hao asked.
“I heard it was a B-level team from the base, but they only lost two people and managed to escape back here. The location is around the wholesale market at the border of the Eastern Suburbs and Central District,”
Su Jin answered.
“They survived an encounter with a Level Nine Zombie? Were they all Speed Element users?”
Lin Cheng was somewhat surprised, thinking that a Level Nine Zombie was akin to the legendary Zombie King.
“I don’t know, there are no photos or videos, all these are just rumors, it’s also possible they exaggerated the zombie’s level,”
Su Jin also didn’t quite believe the rumor, as people often judged the levels of Special Abilities by their size, so misjudgments were not ruled out, and in her previous life, she hadn’t heard of a zombie higher than Level Seven before her death.
“I will be careful tomorrow as well, if a high-level zombie appears nearby, I will alert everyone,”
Mao Qiqi said.
The rumors about the Level Nine Zombie seemed to be just that, rumors, as no one had seen a Level Nine Zombie since then, not even a Level Eight Zombie.
So the Jinghong Team, which had claimed to have seen a Level Nine Fire Zombie, became a joke among some at the base for a while, with people saying they weren’t experienced enough. Some even said they mistook a Level Six Zombie for a Level Nine, just to garner attention and boost their team’s fame.
Only because as the exchanges between various bases slowly increased, there were already rumors that the second bounty team’s ranking competition might begin soon.
