Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 838 Slumber

Chapter 838: Chapter 838 Slumber

Xing Taian and his companions ultimately failed to make it back to the base before dark; they returned to the base the next morning.

The mission involved only the participants and those approved by Liang Jiuhui from within, so almost no one knew about it. Thus, the Heart Talk Team parted ways with Xing Taian and the others on a side road before entering the city gate.

“When I get back to the base, I want to visit Xiao Yue with Auntie,”

Mao Qiqi suddenly said; she knew Lin Tianhui would be returning to work at the Base Hospital. Usually, she would visit daily to check on the situation, but now she hadn’t been there for three consecutive days.

“Xiao Yue? Who is that?”

Kou Ning couldn’t help asking.

“A friend of mine, he’s sick now,”

Mao Qiqi said with a somewhat displeased expression.

Upon hearing that it was Mao Qiqi’s friend, Kou Ning immediately imagined a sick little boy. Mao Qiqi has friends, so he should be considered as having friends now, right? The members of the Heart Talk Team often introduce him as their friend. Of course, he also conveniently ignored the term “regular customer.” Thinking of this, Kou Ning chuckled to himself.

“Go ahead, I’ll join you,”

Huang Yunxiang said, patting Mao Qiqi’s head; she hadn’t seen Luo Yan for some time either.

Inside the special ward, Lian Jiyue was still sleeping quietly.

In the ward, Luo Yan used a cotton swab to moisten Lian Jiyue’s lips with water, bit by bit. It must be said that Lian Jiyue, who had been in a continuous slumber for so long, appeared to be very well cared for, as if he had only fallen asleep the day before.

“Aunt Luo,”

Mao Qiqi’s clear voice immediately broke the silence in the ward.

Luo Yan turned her head in surprise to find Huang Yunxiang and Mao Qiqi, each carrying some gifts. Their arrival delighted Luo Yan.

“Qiqi, Yunxiang, you’re here,”

Luo Yan carefully set down the cotton swab and water cup and walked over affectionately.

When she learned that Lian Jiyue was still the same, Mao Qiqi was somewhat disappointed. She truly hoped he would wake up soon. She wanted him to see that Luo Yan was now properly accompanying him, and that the Han Family was about to face trouble.

Unfortunately, there were still no signs of him waking up, and even when she tried to communicate with him using her spiritual power, she got no response.

“Lian Ze has also been constantly looking for ways. However, there is good news: all his body functions haven’t degenerated, nor are there any signs of viral erosion,”

Luo Yan’s eyes were full of hope; she believed that Lian Jiyue would definitely wake up.

“You’ve worked hard during this time. I heard that the medicinal liquid didn’t enter his body in large amounts then, so he must be alright,”

“If only we had been a few minutes earlier,”

Mao Qiqi said with some regret.

“Child, the fact that you could appear at that time was an enormous surprise for us—such a joyous moment I’ve never had in my life. I believe Yueer’s recovery is just a matter of time,”

Luo Yan immediately consoled, feeling content that Lian Jiyue’s good friends could visit.

“Yanyan, today I specially went to the Heart Talk Store to buy…”

Lian Zongren, carrying a lunch box, pushed the door and entered the ward, not expecting to see Huang Yunxiang and Mao Qiqi there. His hands were filled with boxes and parcels of various sizes, appearing as if he had just returned from shopping.

“Thank you, just put it there for now,”

Luo Yan responded blandly, not showing the joyful expression she had upon seeing Huang Yunxiang and Mao Qiqi.

Lian Zongren felt a bit awkward. With three women chatting in the ward, he didn’t want to interrupt, so he reluctantly headed to Lian Ze’s temporary office across the way.

“You two… aren’t thinking of making up?”

Huang Yunxiang asked.

“It’s impossible between us in this lifetime, but once Yueer is better, I plan to find a job and pay back all the money I’ve owed him during this time,”

Luo Yan said without any regret; she was penniless, and had been keeping a detailed record of all the money she used from Lian Zongren, waiting for the day she could pay him back.

“Well… that’s a real pity, but it’s good that you want to find a job and earn Crystal Cores. The hospital here has always been short of healers, so when the time comes you could apply for an interview, the bar isn’t set very high,”

Huang Yunxiang said.

“Really? That’s great,”

Luo Yan said joyfully.

Mao Qiqi gazed at Lian Jiyue’s bedside for a while longer before she and Huang Yunxiang left the hospital. They had been tired for several days, it was time for them to go back and rest.

…

As soon as Su Jin returned to the villa, she dived straight into the Space and shook the Jade slip again, finding that it still looked the same as before and seemed genuinely uninterested in conveying any messages.

So how is one supposed to use that half-drawn Teleportation Array?

She tried activating it with her thoughts, but there was no response at all, as if it was just an ordinary circle.

“Probably… the fate hasn’t arrived yet,”

When Su Jin asked Nie Qing, who was watching TV, that was all he offered in response.

Having no other choice, Su Jin went on to sow the rest of the overly abundant seeds in the Space Field. At that moment, Lu Hao had also entered.

“Why aren’t you resting with everyone else?”

Lu Hao asked with concern.

“I’m not tired. We need to plant these quickly. Our regular customers are increasing, and it would be quite embarrassing if we couldn’t supply food at some point,”

Su Jin controlled a row of seeds at the front. After the seeds lay evenly spread in the Spirit Field, they immediately integrated into the soil.

The B City Base is considered the largest known base in the country so far. If they were to cooperate with the Wei Family, they couldn’t afford any slip-ups; and with Huaxia being so vast and Dragon Ruler not yet having reached many places, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were other bases they could collaborate with.

Lu Hao wanted to say that the Lu Residence’s warehouse still had plenty of food, but seeing that Su Jin wasn’t planning to stop, instead, he offered, “I’ll help you.”

“Did Liang Jiuhui say anything when you collected the bounty?”

Su Jin asked. As soon as Lu Hao returned, he went to collect the mission rewards at the base and reported the completion status together with Xing Taian.

“The base has started preparing to take action against Han Yue and his group,”

Lu Hao said. All of the prisoners captured by Sun Yuan had confessed, so they already had the testimonies they needed.

Yet, according to the information from the Wei Family, Han Yue had brought his family’s strongest Special Ability experts this time, and even a covert attack would be immediately detected by the Mentally Element Special Ability Han Yue. Li Haochu was also worried that it could lead to a large number of casualties within the base.

“For such people, it’s indeed not worth involving innocent people from the base,”

Su Jin nodded in agreement.

In the apocalypse, every individual was their most precious resource; she understood the base’s concerns and considerations.

“That’s why they’re now trying to figure out a solution, and I’ve also applied to join,”

Lu Hao said, according to their preliminary plan, they first needed to discreetly disperse the residents around Han Yue and replace them with the base’s personnel. When the time came to close the net, he wanted to catch Han Yue with his own hands.
