Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 855: Prototype of the Base’s Chicken Farm

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Prototype of the Base’s Chicken Farm

The temperature of the weather is a few degrees higher than the previous days. Every day, some guard squad members faint from heat stroke and have to be carried back.

Some well-rested special ability teams wanted to go out of the base to kill zombies and acquire crystal cores, but they came back in less than two hours.

The weather is just too hot.

Su Jin also suspected if there was a second sun in the sky. In her previous life, she hadn’t experienced this heat much before she passed away, but this time, she was truly living through it.

Unfortunately, the base’s electricity generation is insufficient to support the operation of air conditioning. Even if people stay indoors during the day, they’re still stuck in particularly stuffy rooms.

This hot weather has temporarily halted the cultivation of Chinese cabbage on the base’s farm. Chinese cabbage is cold-resistant and grows in cooler fields, so for the time being, the base can only consume vegetables accelerated by wood element ability users.

Luckily, those two chickens Shi Ran brought back are quite productive. On a certain morning, a few eggs hatched into three chicks, which made Liang Jiuhui so happy he immediately rewarded Big Sister Li, who looked after Big Flower and Little Flower, with 500 points.

During this zombie tide period, Liang Jiuhui was busy and didn’t pay much attention to this matter. Only when he remembered and went to the coop of Big Flower and Little Flower, he found a nest of chicks inside!

“Sir, there are now 11 chicks in total. The first three chicks have already grown some,”

Big Sister Li reported with a sense of accomplishment. Raising chickens in this apocalypse seemed even easier than back home. The speed of hatching chicks was astoundingly fast. Even Shi Ran, the owner of Big Flower and Little Flower, was oftentimes surprised. Could life in the base be too good?

“Thank you for your hard work, Sister Li. These chickens are the hope of our base,”

Liang Jiuhui said excitedly. At this rate, the base could soon open a chicken farm.

“Don’t worry, Sir, I understand its importance. I will take good care of them,”

Big Sister Li said, unable to hide her smile. She already considered the chickens as her children to care for.

While Liang Jiuhui was planning the chicken farm for Big Flower, Little Flower, and their chicks in their suite, Su Jin and her family were in the space teasing Lu Xi and Lu Wang, chatting about this matter.

“A few eggs and chicks were placed this morning. Let’s wait until next Monday for more,”

Su Jin muttered as she looked at the calendar.

Of course, Big Flower and Little Flower wouldn’t hatch chicks so quickly. The chicks were secretly placed from her space.

“Yiyi ya ya”

“Ah ah wa wa”

Lu Xi and Lu Wang, having just been breastfed, were lying in the crib speaking “baby language,” making Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo laugh heartily.

“Sister Xiao Jin, they are chatting,”

Mao Qiqi said, also fond of Lu Xi and Lu Wang. She initially thought all babies cried often, but Lu Xi and Lu Wang only cried when hungry or needing a diaper change, and otherwise just observed their surroundings with wide eyes.

“By the way, Qiqi, do you really think they’re special ability users? I couldn’t tell,”

Lin Xiuyuan asked.

Mao Qiqi had confidently stated before that Lu Xi and Lu Wang were special ability users, but he couldn’t see any signs. They only seemed more well-behaved than ordinary babies and never displayed any abilities.

“You, back when you first used your abilities, didn’t you need guidance from others too?”

Huang Yunxiang said with slight annoyance. How could such young children use abilities?

“I know, I’m just curious what their abilities might be,”

Lin Xiuyuan hurriedly explained. The two babies were everyone’s darlings; he wouldn’t dare upset anyone.

“Isn’t it obvious? Definitely wood element and fire element,”

Lu Guanhai said. With parents having those two abilities, they should be too.

“Wood element and fire element are good, like Xiao Jin and Xiao Hao,”

Su Xiangzhe remarked, eating a homemade fruit ice pop from the space.

Since the space expanded, fruit trees had naturally grown in abundance. Now aside from farmland, there’s an orchard too. Fortunately, the fruits could be juiced for sale. However, since the biggest juicer in the space wasn’t large, Su Jin and Lu Hao were planning to procure bigger juicers.

Su Jin tried not letting the space absorb crystal cores for five days, but on the sixth day, it whimsically absorbed 720 crystal cores at once.

When the space absorbed the crystal cores autonomously, Su Jin, as the space’s owner, was immediately aware of it, leaving her in a humorous exasperation.

So if she doesn’t let the space absorb, it will do it automatically?

The consumption of over 700 crystal cores in just five or six days also left Su Jin feeling a pinch.

Including the shares from this zombie tide and the total revenue from the two Heart Talk Stores these days, the space now held 10 million crystal cores. Although this was sufficient to support the space for over a century, she still dared not estimate the massive consumption if the space upgraded or faced something unexpected.

“How about we learn from Kou Ning and go kill zombies at night? It’s too hot during the day,”

Lin Cheng suggested.

The heat was secondary; while killing zombies, people often became parched and felt as if walking in a desert. It’s no wonder the base hospital was filled with heatstroke patients daily.

“We can go to our hometown at night to kill zombies,”

Mao Qiqi said, her eyes twinkling. She loved hunting zombies in the alleyways of her hometown, H City. There wasn’t any other soul, perfectly suited as their battlefield.

“That’s a good idea. Lu Xi and Lu Wang will be asleep,”

Su Jin agreed.

Lu Hao and the family also consented. Helping their hometown H City by killing zombies was a contribution to their roots and, well, possibly eased some burden off Guan Shouzhong and the others, Lu Hao thought.

At night, passing by the teleportation array of H City, Su Jin glanced at the adjacent, abandoned gray teleportation array and noticed some changes.

“The patterns on this… Are there two more now?”

Su Jin asked, puzzled.

Nie Qing immediately looked over, nearly jumping in shock: “What the hell? There really are more! They weren’t here before!”

“Are there more? I can’t tell,”

Lin Cheng said, looking repeatedly but not seeing any difference.

“There are more, right here,”

Lu Hao pointed out the new patterns clearly, causing the family to stare at each other with wide eyes.

Is this teleportation array drawing itself bit by bit?

But speculating on this was too complicated, so the family entered the teleportation array and arrived at their hometown house, preparing for the day’s task.

“There are a dozen zombies in the yard, six of which are high-level mutated zombies,”

Mao Qiqi sensed and reported, those six high-level mutated zombies were likely around level seven.

“Hey, that’s just right. The first time we killed zombies in the yard, my mom and the others even cried,”

Lin Xiuyuan’s comment prompted Huang Yunxiang to deliver a motherly love gentle punch, remarking how he always said the wrong things.
