Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 867: Struck

Chapter 867: Chapter 867: Struck

For Kou Ning, who unknowingly became a helper of the Heart Talk Team over the past few days, the family not only “fed him well” but also agreed to waive his food expenses for three months.

This made Kou Ning exclaim that he hit the jackpot.

He eats a lot and needs to have meat in every meal. Even when he went out with Su Jin and a few others to kill zombies at night, he needed a midnight snack.

After all, he’s a man who can eat half a wild boar!

“You’ve all been so good to me, practically like my second parents,”

Kou Ning said exaggeratedly.

“Alright, I’m so tired, I’m going to rest now,”

Su Jin gave a big yawn. As soon as she returned, she went to Yao Rui’s place, and after she got back, she hurriedly fed Lu Xi and Lu Wang. Now she just wanted to sleep.

Luckily, with the family around to accompany the somewhat clingy Lu Xi and Lu Wang, otherwise, she really wouldn’t have a moment to catch her breath.

“Got it, see you tonight,”

Before leaving, Kou Ning happily rolled up a shredded meat pancake for himself, eating as he walked to the villa next door.

“Xiao Jin, have something to eat before you sleep,”

Lu Hao handed over a cup of soy milk and said.

“Mm, okay,”

Su Jin was just about to enter the space for a nap but took the cup and drank down the fragrant soy milk in one go.

“Xiao Hao, I noticed that Lin Xiuyuan has been down these past few days too. Did something happen outside?”

Huang Yunxiang asked sensitively as it seemed like Lin Xiuyuan wasn’t as talkative as before and always stared at his hands in a daze.

“Mm, probably the zombies got to him,”

Lu Hao replied.

Got hit by zombies?

“What happened?”

Lu Guanhai, who was coaxing Lu Wang, also stopped and looked over to ask.

“There are a lot of high-level zombies, and their power has already surpassed his, which never happened before,”

Lu Hao talked about their zombie-killing situation over the past two days. He and Su Jin had been pondering a question: the evolution of zombies seemed to be speeding up.

The Heart Talk Team fought countless zombies, battled day and night to reach their peak, yet all the zombies needed was to evolve. Moreover, zombies seemed to have no bottleneck period, and level eight zombies now had more keen battle skills.

All of this signaled danger to humanity.

“No wonder, we’ve been hearing nothing but bad news at the base these days,”

Su Xiangzhe sighed.

The survivors at the D City base are now afraid of going out to kill zombies. Even if some squads go out, they have to team up with others to form a larger group, just to increase safety. However, this brings about unfair distribution of crystal cores and combat power, exacerbating tensions between teams.

In simple terms, these minor disputes can easily cause public unrest and base instability.

“So the root cause is only one: zombies have become stronger,”

Lu Hao concluded.

“I’ll also join you tonight. The more zombies we kill, the better,”

Su Xiangzhe decided. He didn’t want the kids to be overly tired every day. He heard Yao Rui’s task rewards were based on the number of level eight crystal cores collected.

The crystal cores collected by the Heart Talk Team belonged to them, but they could also bring them to Yao Rui to claim corresponding rewards.

A single level eight crystal core was worth a reward of ten thousand crystal cores, and a level seven core was worth three thousand. It was essentially a high-risk, high-reward task. With more people going, they could kill more zombies.

…

When Su Jin woke up, only an hour had passed outside. While eating the “breakfast” Lin Yunguo had prepared in the space, she noticed Nie Qing still squatting next to the formation, muttering to himself.

“Uncle Nie?”

When Su Jin approached, Nie Qing was startled, indicating he was deeply engrossed.

“Girl, you’re awake?”

Nie Qing had a piece of paper in his hand, where he was copying the patterns from the formation. After copying several formations onto paper, he indeed noticed some differences.

“Different, huh? There are two more lines now,”

Su Jin said.

“Yes, I found that this formation is very likely a complete teleportation array,”

Nie Qing explained since Su Jin seemed puzzled.

The other formations were actually semi-finished products. They required Su Jin, the space owner, to inject spiritual power to activate, but this larger formation was probably not a semi-finished product.

“Meaning, on the day it’s completed, we could just walk in and arrive somewhere?”

Su Jin frowned and asked.

“That’s one possibility, but there’s another,”

“…What?”

Why did she feel Nie Qing’s expression became a bit creepy?

“It’s also possible that on that day, something might come out from inside…”

Nie Qing himself was startled after saying it. He had been watching a few horror movies lately, which made the idea somewhat chilling.

“…”

Something might come out from inside?

Su Jin still chose to trust Nie Qing’s guess. After all, among their family, only Uncle Nie had some knowledge of formations.

So, the family decided to set up a confinement formation around the main formation, just in case something did come out and threaten their safety.

“Will this work?”

Lin Tianzhen hesitantly asked, suggesting maybe they could add a few more doors or something?

Mao Zhihang, understanding the suggestion, condensed a larger metal cage and placed it on top.

“You guys, really, it feels like you’re taking it seriously. Nothing bad is going to come out and harm us,”

Li Xiuying wasn’t scared or worried at all. To her, this place was a treasure trove, with everything designed in the best interest of those in the space. How could anything weird or dangerous come out?

“Grandma, with you and Grandpa here, we’re just not at ease, in case, just in case,”

Lin Xiuyuan coaxed Li Xiuying as they walked towards the Lu Residence.

Before heading out at night, Su Jin and Lu Hao reluctantly put down Lu Xi and Lu Wang, whom they had been holding all day.

Lu Hao gave Lu Xi a deep kiss on the top of his head, and when he saw Lu Wang staring at him with bright eyes while sucking his finger, he leaned down to kiss him too.

“Hee hee~”

Lu Wang playfully slapped, leaving Lu Hao with a face full of saliva, making Su Jin burst into laughter.

“…Let’s go,”

Lu Hao stood up and said with a helpless smile.

Previously, they lived and fought hard to keep the family together, and even though that goal had not changed, they now unknowingly had these two little ones. These two little ones always gave him strength whenever he thought of them.

“Yes, Mommy and Daddy will be back soon, be good at home,”

Su Jin touched Lu Xi’s cheek and softly said.

“Hey, why are you guys still wearing this stuff?”

In the yard, Kou Ning’s voice came over; it turned out Su Xiangzhe and Lin Cheng were both wearing battle clothes.

“You said it was dangerous outside, didn’t you? We should be a bit cautious,”

Su Xiangzhe chuckled. It was cooler at night than during the day; only zombies were more numerous. Wearing them could put both them and others at ease.
