Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 871: Destiny

Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Destiny

Could Lu Hao really be right?

“Just a guess.”

Lu Hao shrugged.

Crying as soon as leaving the base, but not crying upon returning. After being hurt just now, when Guan Shouzhong held him, he immediately stopped crying. It might be because he felt something.

“Then why does he still cry when I hold him?”

Xiang Sanjin asked puzzledly.

“Let me try.”

Lu Hao cautiously took the child and gently soothed it in his arms, just like he held Lu Xi.

This time, the child indeed didn’t cry again.

And after Lu Hao handed him back to Xiang Sanjin, the once calm child immediately pouted, looking as if he was about to bawl.

“Better give him back to Old Guan.”

Xiang Sanjin was startled, what kind of logic was this?

“You can’t provide him a sense of security,”

Lu Hao chuckled.

“So you’re saying I’m not impressive, huh, this little guy,”

Xiang Sanjin muttered. Indeed, his Special Ability Level was not as high as Guan Shouzhong’s and Lu Hao’s, but was such a young child really so ’snobby’ already?

“It’s actually interesting. So, what next?”

Su Jin also found it amusing, but they couldn’t take such a sensitive child on the road.

“I’ll raise him,”

Guan Shouzhong looked down at the somewhat frail but determined child in his arms. Whether the child possessed a Mental Element Ability or not, even if he didn’t, the child abandoned at his base was his responsibility.

Seeing Guan Shouzhong’s determined gaze, it didn’t seem like a casual statement. Only then did Su Jin breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, she planned that if they couldn’t take the child away, they’d find a reliable person willing to raise the child in this base, and they’d provide Crystal Cores and resources as the Heart Talk Team.

Since Guan Shouzhong now wanted to keep the child, she also wanted to offer support.

“We’ll take care of his formula and diapers in the future.”

“Thank you, sister-in-law,”

Guan Shouzhong was momentarily stunned, realizing that raising a child wasn’t that easy after all. Such a young child needs formula milk and wears diapers…

…

So, when Liang Wei and Wei Junhao saw Guan Shouzhong again the next day, they noticed he now had a stroller beside him with an unfamiliar child inside.

After learning the reason, Liang Wei also felt that this child and Guan Shouzhong were indeed fated.

“Actually, children, for us, are indeed the hope of humanity in the future. It’s tough for humans to create new life now. Speaking of the future, it’s still this generation,”

Liang Wei sighed.

“Exactly, and they don’t eat much. If we can raise them, why not?”

Guan Shouzhong echoed.

Su Jin prepared everything thoroughly for him. Besides formula and diapers, there were also various children’s clothes, and even several thermostatic kettles were prepared so that they wouldn’t have to worry about mixing warm water for formula.

“Hahaha, I think Su Jin and the others are amazing. Wherever they go, little babies appear,”

Wei Junhao said, teasing the peaceful Little Qi gnawing on a teether inside the stroller.

Guan Shouzhong had stayed up late to name the child Miracle, with the nickname Little Qi.

“What do you mean?”

Their Captain Lu and they always found babies wherever they went? Guan Shouzhong hadn’t heard that from anyone.

“Baby chicks, baby ducks, they’re babies too,”

Wei Junhao laughed. There were chicks in the S City base, ducklings in the A City base, and now a baby here in the H Province base. Isn’t it just true that wherever they go, babies appear?

“Now that you mention it, that is quite a coincidence. Haha,”

Liang Wei also laughed, but the three only regarded these as coincidental events. After all, the Heart Talk Team couldn’t possibly create these.

At this moment, the Heart Talk Team, having resolved the sudden appearance of an infant, was discussing plans to go out and kill zombies.

From Guan Shouzhong, they learned that the situation in H Province wasn’t much better than in D City, with Level Eight Zombies appearing as well. Due to the smaller population in the H Province base, the speed of zombie killing was extremely slow. So he wanted to take this opportunity to help the base here.

“I think if we stand outside the base for a while, we can attract a lot of zombies over without even needing to drive far,”

Lin Xiuyuan said.

“We’re going here today,”

Lu Hao laid out a map in front of everyone. The weather outside was too hot, so they planned to go to the vacation villa Guan Shouzhong mentioned to kill zombies. Though it was called a vacation villa, it was just a five-star hotel before the apocalypse, and because it was close to a scenic spot, it always had a lot of foot traffic.

“Killing zombies in a hotel? Not bad, not bad,”

Lin Cheng said as he ate breakfast.

After a simple plan, the Heart Talk Team prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Su Jin also left the day’s three meals prepared for Kou Ning. Kou Ning, Liang Wei, and their group were staying in the courtyard next to them, and since it seemed they weren’t up yet, the team didn’t disturb them.

The place Guan Shouzhong mentioned was indeed not far from the base, only about a 30-minute drive away. However, the number of zombies around wasn’t a joke, and the group was blocked outside the hotel, unable to get in.

“Just right, now that it’s not too hot, let’s clear the ones at the door first,”

Su Jin said as she grew two Man-eating Flowers, placing them on either side of the car. Today, they planned to stay here for the day, so summoning the Man-eating Flowers could aid everyone when they ran out of Special Abilities.

Roar!

A zombie menacingly crashed into the car, a Power Element Mutated Zombie.

Su Jin had already sent Lu Wang and Lu Xi into the Space, so now the family could “go on a killing spree” without any worries.

The Power Element Mutated Zombie hadn’t done much before being swallowed whole, along with other zombies, by the waiting Man-eating Flowers. Mao Qiqi felt it was a pity; she loved dealing with Speed Element and Power Element Zombies. However, she soon spotted another Level Six Speed Element Zombie.

Bang!

The Speed Element Zombie was indeed fast, but Mao Qiqi had already conjured a shield. The Speed Element Zombie, due to its excessive speed, got bounced a few meters away to the roadside, and then heavily fell to the ground.

Before it could stand up, Lin Xiuyuan threw an ice spike to finish it off.

Alright, this was indeed very convenient.

Mao Qiqi didn’t blame Lin Xiuyuan for “kill-stealing” this time since there were still many zombies waiting for her to kill.

After clearing the zombies at the entrance, the family hurried into the so-called vacation hotel’s lobby, though many zombies followed from the surroundings.

“To the second floor,”

Lu Hao said as he used his Fire Element Ability to burn the zombies in the lobby. The upper floors were relatively safer than the first floor, providing some buffer time for the zombies attracted from the surroundings.

“There’s a lot of zombies upstairs too,”

Mao Qiqi immediately responded.

“Looks like we’ll have to keep killing here for a while,”

Lin Xiuyuan took out the Level Eight Ice Element Crystal Core and began to absorb it. He had been saving this Level Eight Crystal Core, and today it finally came to use.
