Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 859: Escort Mission
Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Escort Mission
Regarding the mission Liang Jiuhui mentioned, the family discussed it for a long time in the space, and still decided to accept this task.
“If it weren’t for here, I would never agree to you taking Xixi and Wangwang on an adventure.”
Li Xiuying sighed.
Su Jin and Lu Hao didn’t think much of it, saying in the name of the apocalypse babies needing to be cultivated from a young age, though Su Jin thought it was more because the family was together, making them feel fearless, with no real worries.
“Xiao Hao, you guys are going under the name of the Heart Talk Team, but how will Dragon Ruler show up at that time, is it all planned out?”
Mao Zhihang asked.
“Well, we’ll adapt to the situation; people at several bases there know about Dragon Ruler, so it’ll be much easier.”
Lu Hao and the others didn’t have much of a plan yet, after all, besides City A, there’s been a long absence from City D and Province H, with Liang Wei and Wei Junhao’s group following them. Fortunately, there weren’t any Mental Element Ability Users among them.
…
Bai Ying felt something odd today, starting from the afternoon, sneezing non-stop.
“Why am I always sneezing on such a hot day? Is someone cursing me behind my back?”
Bai Ying muttered.
“You’re overthinking it; right now, Water Element Ability Users are in demand everywhere, who would curse you?”
Liang Ranran said while enjoying the peach juice bought from the Heart Talk Store.
“Yeah, except for a few Special Ability Users from the Han Family, I haven’t offended anyone; even Young Master Wei speaks kindly to me.”
Thinking it over, Bai Ying relaxed, sitting down to continue playing Gomoku with Liang Ranran while drinking peach juice.
At that moment, Wei Junhao, who used Bai Ying as a shield, walked in excitedly, looking at everyone sitting in the living room with the floor fan whirring happily:
“Everyone, our next mission is here, we’ll be preparing to set off in a few days; you would never guess who we’ll be traveling with.”
“Heart Talk Team?”
Luo Hongyi asked.
“…Captain Luo, can’t you leave some suspense for everyone? I even spent an afternoon negotiating with Liang Jiuhui.”
Wei Junhao mourned for three seconds for not seeing the shocked faces of his subordinates.
Luo Hongyi shrugged, wasn’t it easy to guess?
The only thing that could make Wei Junhao this happy would be teaming with Heart Talk Team, after all, with them, food and lodging wouldn’t be a problem, making them genuinely happy.
“Young Master Wei, I’m somewhat puzzled; since the Han Family is done for, why are we still taking on bounty team evaluations? It doesn’t seem to benefit us much, does it?”
Zheng Shu asked in confusion, as notifying various major bases seemed like a thankless task.
“Because… this matter will make everyone better.”
Wei Junhao didn’t clarify but smiled meaningfully.
From the current perspective, how the bounty team functions doesn’t relate directly to the stability of the B City base, but from a long-term outlook, isn’t it a significant chance for human development?
The despair born in the apocalypse is overwhelming; if something can give more people a goal to strive for and pathways to progress, then it’s meaningful and worth pursuing.
Even the Han Family, which never made a loss in business, paid significant attention to this matter before, suggesting the profits it brings aren’t trivial, or Liang Jiuhui’s side wouldn’t be so proactive, even Liang Wei volunteered.
Zheng Shu was somewhat unclear but didn’t continue to dwell on the matter; to venture out with Heart Talk Team, there’s no room for complaints.
In these couple of days, before the mission sets off, Su Jin secretly took Local Tyrant Gold to Big Sister Li’s place, leaving three little chicks there. Looking at the slightly scared and unfamiliar chicks with not fully grown feathers out of space, Local Tyrant Gold sympathetically glanced at them.
If you come here, just be a chick carrying hope!
Of course, Su Jin also left four eggs, hoping these chicks grow healthily while they’re away from the base.
After finishing all this, Su Jin went to the Heart Talk Branch, stocked the back warehouse thoroughly, and returned to the villa feeling relieved.
Back in the bedroom, Su Jin looked at Lu Hao’s slightly curled hair in a daze.
“A new hairstyle?”
Su Jin asked.
“Alchemy, just a failure.”
Lu Hao helplessly scratched his head; thankfully, he took a shower promptly, or else Su Jin would see him emerge all covered in char.
Lately, he’s been trying to refine the face-changing pill under Nie Qing’s guidance, who knows a bit about pills. Unfortunately, it hasn’t gone as smoothly as expected, and he’s had multiple explosions today.
Poof~
Su Jin held back a laugh, finding the hairstyle unexpectedly stylish and enjoying the feel as she ruffled it.
“Take your time, no rush, we still have enough face-changing pills.”
“Hmm.”
Lu Hao squeezed Su Jin’s soft hand; although Su Jin had a thin layer of sweat from being outside, her now rosy lips made him restless…
“Mm~ I’m going to check on the babies.”
Su Jin attempted to resist, even though Lu Hao’s shower fragrance made her want more.
“Xiao Jin, they are both napping.”
Lu Hao’s big hand caressed Su Jin’s delicate waist, speaking seriously.
“…”
…
When Liao Yifan and others learned the family was taking Lu Xi and Lu Wang out, they were utterly astonished.
“Captain Lu, they are still babies.”
Liao Yifan tried to dissuade, considering the unbearably hot weather outside, how could the babies cope?
“Yeah, best to adapt early.”
Lu Hao took a bite of rice with his new hairstyle.
“I knew you wouldn’t stay put at the base; I just didn’t think you’d head out so soon. I heard Liang Wei will be going too?”
Guo Yang asked.
“Yes, we only need to ensure safe transport; the mission is simple, and we can search for supplies along the way.”
Lin Xiuyuan interjected, guessing everyone missed Long Aotian?
“But…”
Liao Yifan was very reluctant to part with Lu Xi and Lu Wang; her daily habit was visiting them first after work.
“Yifan, rest assured, we will take good care of them.”
Su Jin reassured.
“Alright… be sure to come back soon.”
Liao Yifan knew the family never undertakes anything they aren’t confident about, yet this mission regarding the bounty team’s future was significant, so she agreed reluctantly.
The most miserable one, however, was Kou Ning. Upon learning the Heart Talk Team would be out for a month or longer, he felt like crying.
His meals…
“Why don’t you come along, but you’ll have to eat regular meals with us.”
Lu Hao looked at Kou Ning, who was about to cry, and said from the window.
