Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 784 Hot Weather

Chapter 784: Chapter 784 Hot Weather
Working at the base also provided the opportunity to go to the E city base with Lu Hao to carry out missions, and Liao Yifan, Xue Wanyi, as well as Yin Chengtian, all took this outing very seriously, making thorough preparations.
The weather outside was hot, but thankfully, there were plenty of summer clothes in Guo Yang’s space and Su Jin’s space. However, Su Jin still washed the battle clothes they had used at the Y country base before, having Guo Yang and the others take them with them before they left.
“Although we won’t need them, we have to be prepared for anything,”
Su Jin said.
Guo Yang nodded, reaching out to collect the battle clothes. He had already heard from Lu Hao that they might also go to B city, where, even if they didn’t need protection against zombies, the clothes could guard against any unexpected threats from other people.
“Captain Lu, is Local Tyrant Gold also going to come along?”
Liao Yifan asked, clutching Local Tyrant Gold, whose clothes had been removed due to the hot weather. However, Su Jin had fastened an eye-catching red hair clip on its forehead, making it look exceptionally cute.
“Yes, it already remembers the route there clearly, and its Invisibility Ability is very useful,”
Lu Hao said as he grabbed Local Tyrant Gold and placed it on his shoulder.
While Local Tyrant Gold was just a monkey, it always played a crucial role. By now, Lu Hao had become very indulgent with it, and Local Tyrant Gold was no longer afraid of him, often jumping around on him without any restraint.
Mao Qiqi also packed her small backpack. Although Guo Yang had a Space Element Ability and Lu Hao would carry the storage bag, she still wanted to pack some of her little things, including candies and snacks.
Guo Yang’s space was large, so Su Jin had him store a few vehicles, including the cars they drove this time which were two sturdy armored vehicles. The air conditioning systems in the armored vehicles were far better than those in old minibuses, and they were much more comfortable.
“Everyone, be careful,”
Su Jin said at the villa’s gate. There wasn’t really a sense of farewell since she could always see her family in the space as long as they could meet. She just hoped everyone would be safe.
“Su Jin, don’t worry, you also be careful at the base,”
Liao Yifan said somewhat excited but also reluctant.
He was excited because they were traveling far from home, and his reluctance was entirely for Lu Hao while he also stole a glance at Guo Yang, who was beside him, arranging the seats.
For some reason, she suddenly realized that since the Apocalypse began, she seemed to have never been apart from Guo Yang, at least seeing him every day. Now that the two of them had established a relationship, was Guo Yang waiting for her?
“Alright, let’s go now. It’s still cool in the morning,”
Su Xiangzhe and Lu Guanhai urged. After ten o’clock, the temperature would soar, so it was best to leave early.
Lu Hao nodded and started driving the car slowly towards the city gate.
The group departed early, and as the Special Ability teams from the base were still supposed to collect their missions from the mission center, there were hardly any people at the city gate. However, they ran into Kou Ning who was returning from outside.
As always, Kou Ning carried a smelly bag of Crystal Cores, to which the staff at the city gate had grown accustomed, efficiently recording his information and measured body temperature.
“Morning,”
Lu Hao rolled down the window and called out to Kou Ning.
With a signature bone in his mouth, Kou Ning first looked surprised, then seemed to recall something and smiled, “For me, it’s nighttime. Oh, right, here are some things I thought of last night. Take this,”
Kou Ning took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and tossed it to Lu Hao. It was boring for him to kill zombies all alone at night, and it had made him think of some matters regarding the Han Family that might be useful to Lu Hao and his team, so he had written them down.
“Thank you,”
Lu Hao responded gratefully.
Lu Hao laughed, “A person out there killing zombies at night, yet still finding time to do those things, it made him start to wonder about Kou Ning’s true level of skill.”
“Is that Kou Ning?”
Liao Yifan curiously peered out the window, a person thrown into the Dead City? And now going out every night to kill zombies alone?
“Lone Ranger.”
Yin Chengtian thought of this term.
“What’s so interesting about it? It’s not like he’s handsomer than me anyway,”
Guo Yang covered Liao Yifan’s eyes with his hands, pulling her into his embrace.
“Just curious.”
Flushed, Liao Yifan found herself sitting in the back, her body colliding into a firm embrace on a summer day when clothes are notably thin, and she even caught a faint smell of tobacco on Guo Yang’s hands.
Does the guy smoke?
Liao Yifan couldn’t help but recall, she seemed to have never seen Guo Yang smoke in front of her…
Lu Hao opened the crumpled piece of paper thrown over by Kou Ning; it was as simple as a rough sketch he made, but the information on it made Lu Hao’s eyes light up.
Looks like he’d have to talk to Su Jin and the others when he gets a chance, to add a little more to Kou Ning’s meals.
At that moment, a series of cool breezes blew from the back of the vehicle, as Nie Qing looked on satisfiedly at the whirlwind he had created.
“How about that? Cool, isn’t it? This is my new invention inspired by that ’electric fan’ I saw at the base,” Nie Qing said with pride.
The whirlwind was controlled by his Wind Element Ability, different from the whirlwinds during combat, this one floating mid-air blew wind from inside out, and he had already minimized the special ability power, so the wind felt gentle on the skin.
“It’s refreshing, Uncle Nie. How about this, though?”
As Lin Xiuyuan spoke, he added some Ice Element Ability into the whirlwind and moments later, the combined creation produced a cooling effect even better than the air conditioning in the armored car.
“Nice, nice, I’ll turn off the air conditioner; it’ll save fuel,” Lin Cheng commented.
They had set out on a mission to look for some oil this time, as they, who often traveled during the Apocalypse, were using it up at an alarming rate. Now, there was just one big oil drum left in storage, and although it was two to three meters tall with a generous amount of oil, given their rate of consumption, saving some was necessary.
After all, special ability power can naturally recover, but oil can’t.
The two vehicles communicated via walkie-talkies while ramming through the zombies crowding around, and although Liao Yifan and her group really wanted to get out and clear the area, they also knew their current goal was to head to the E City base to check on Lian Jiyue’s safety.
Moreover, since Mao Qiqi had not given any warning signs and Lu Hao had previously mentioned that generally, when on the road, they would not stop to clear zombies unless absolutely necessary; otherwise, one couldn’t expect to make progress in a world overrun with zombies.
Of course, getting out to clear zombies was essential, especially when Mao Qiqi mentioned that the zombies following them had gathered to the thousands and ahead there was a group of zombies moving their way.
Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan along with the others stopped practicing their abilities and fought vigorously, and it was then Guo Yang realized that apart from Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan, their family’s ability to kill zombies had far surpassed any one of them.
