Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 813: Lian Ze’s Reaction

Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Lian Ze’s Reaction

In the Weapon Research Institute, several of Lian Jiyue’s blood test results were laid out on Lian Ze’s cluttered desk.

Lian Zongren massaged his temples as he told Lian Ze about the events that had transpired at Base B, including Han Wan’s suicide.

“Ze’er, I know this will be a blow to you, and if you have any anger, vent it on me. It’s all my fault,”

Lian Zongren said.

“Were any bottles or samples left behind by the pharmaceutical products retrieved from the scene? I need to know what kind of drug it was,”

Lian Ze asked without lifting his head.

“Ze’er, your mother, she…”

Lian Zongren knew that Lian Ze had been distant from Han Wan since childhood, but he had always thought that it was just Lian Ze’s personality. Now, however…

“I heard you, you said, she is dead,”

Lian Ze put down the report, looked up earnestly at Lian Zongren, and said.

“Yes, I thought you would be sad,”

After hearing Lian Zongren’s words, Lian Ze adjusted his glasses and said to Lian Zongren in a methodical tone:

“I, haven’t spent a day with her, have I?”

“…So you knew all along…”

After being taken aback for a moment, Lian Zongren gave a wry smile. He had always thought Lian Ze wasn’t concerned about such matters.

Han Wan had chosen to give birth abroad at an early stage to maintain her figure, which was one of the reasons he never felt much for Han Wan. He hadn’t expected that Lian Ze knew about it.

“I know, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t thank her for giving me life, and it was she who first captured Lian Jiyue. Death was her own choice. So why should I feel sad?”

Lian Ze asked, somewhat puzzled.

“What about your brother, he…”

Lian Zongren choked up. In truth, Lian Ze wasn’t much older than Lian Jiyue, just a matter of months. Compared to Han Wan, Lian Ze had always been closer to Lian Jiyue since childhood.

“He is different,”

Lian Ze bowed his head and continued to look at the reports, then stood up and continued:

“I’ll go to the hospital to see him.”

…

Luo Hongyi’s team traded with the Heart Talk Team, and it was Lu Hao who took Su Jin to their location to conduct the trade directly.

When Zheng Shu, Xiao Chen, and Xu Jingting, the three Space Element Ability Users, brought out the Crystal Cores from their own spaces, Su Jin did not hesitate and started storing them in her own Wood Spirit Space.

“Aren’t you going to count them?”

Xu Jingting couldn’t help asking.

“No need, we trust you,”

Su Jin said with a smile. She didn’t dare to sweep them all into her space at once but slowly stashed the Crystal Cores, one box, and one bag at a time.

The Wei Family had Luo Hongyi bring a total of 4 million Crystal Cores, which was considered a large transaction. Luo Hongyi and his colleagues thought that they would have to take some of the Crystal Cores back with them, as the Heart Talk Team might not have had enough resources to trade.

But to their surprise, Su Jin exchanged them all for the equivalent resources without a second word.

“Thank you,”

Luo Hongyi said, looking at the resources.

“I think my space is going to be filled with resources for the first time,”

Zheng Shu murmured to herself. Even the stairs to the second floor were piled high with resources. Xiao Chen and Xu Jingting were too stunned to speak.

All these were for them to take back? It was the first time in their lives that they had seen so many resources.

“In a few days, we plan to go out and look for more resources. Thank you all for your help this time,”

Lu Hao also said,

“Of course, whether it will succeed depends on how well you guys have planned.”

Luo Hongyi was very clear about Lu Hao’s plan too. Honestly, such a meticulous plan is not something that just anyone could come up with, which is no wonder why the always shrewd Han Family was duped.

“You also need to be careful on your way back, as we won’t be able to travel together this time,”

Lu Hao said.

“Yeah, we plan to set off either tomorrow or the day after. The road has just been cleared by us on the way here, so it should still be temporarily safe,”

Luo Hongyi nodded in response.

Captain Meng’s team did not stay with Luo Hongyi’s team but was housed in a villa not far away. Over these days, the Heart Talk Team had been delivering food to them. Now, seeing Lu Hao arrive at their door with a beautiful pregnant lady, everyone warmly gathered around.

“Captain Lu, this is…”

Ah Mao asked.

“Isn’t that a silly question? Of course, it’s sister-in-law,”

someone beside him nudged Ah Mao with their elbow. But this Captain Lu’s wife sure was beautiful.

“Hello everyone, my name is Su Jin,”

Su Jin introduced herself generously. Since these were Chen Chuyao’s people, she didn’t hold back and took out a box of homemade fruit preserves from the Space to distribute to them.

“Thank you for the welcome gift, sister-in-law. This is truly generous!”

Li Xiang said happily. Such a big jar of fruit preserves, even though there was no label, looked like it was full of gleaming fruits and surely not expired. Even if it was, he would cherish and eat it all up.

“We’ve just completed a trade with Captain Luo. May I ask what resources Captain Meng has come to trade this time?”

Lu Hao asked.

“Our Base Leader has brought us 2 million Crystal Cores, but he said even if we only trade 200,000 with you, it would be okay, so… there’s no set amount required,”

Meng Chao answered, aware that this time their N City base had cut in line for the trade and had not expected to trade much at all.

“No problem, if it’s 2 million, then let it be 2 million. We should have enough for now on our side,”

Lu Hao’s remark surprised Meng Chao and the others. Could it be that the trade with B City’s base wasn’t as large as expected?

Did they just luck out?

Only after Su Jin laid out the resources in front of everyone did Meng Chao and his team believe in the windfall that had seemingly fallen from the sky.

“Quick, quick, quick, bring out the Crystal Cores already,”

Meng Chao urged, wondering why everyone was so slow to react.

“Oh right, Captain, we’ll bring them out now!”

The Space Element Ability Users hurriedly started to pour out Crystal Cores from the Space, as if they were afraid Lu Hao and his company might change their minds.

“Wuwuwu, you all are just too kind, willing to offer so many resources to our base,”

Ah Mao’s eyes reddened in an exaggerated fashion.

Possibly, this was what great human love is all about! He couldn’t help but think.

“You’re exaggerating. These resources are the reserves painstakingly saved up by all the Huaxia people before. What we have done is merely uncover them, saving them from destruction, and we’re very happy to be able to help others with them,”

Su Jin said with a smile.

The Crystal Cores used for the Space were taken from the current Survivors and in turn, used for the benefit of everyone, creating a virtuous cycle. After interacting with many Survivors at the Heart Talk Store in the base these days, she had come to think more deeply.

If the Space wants sustainable development, it’s actually closely related to every person in this world.

Previously, she would have thought that what the Heart Talk Team did was purely giving, because those food supplies were also hard-earned by their families, but now she didn’t think so anymore. The Wood Spirit Space wasn’t supported by just their family, but by everyone in various bases.

What they did should be called passing on to each other, right!
