Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 872 Helping to Clear Zombies
Chapter 872: Chapter 872 Helping to Clear Zombies
Once the Level Eight Crystal Core was absorbed, not only was the depleted special ability power fully restored, Lin Xiuyuan felt like he had endless power within his body.
He and Lu Hao, one with an Ice Element and the other with a Fire Element, were killing zombies running down from upstairs.
The rest of the family was resisting the zombies coming in from outside at the back.
Zombies in groups were blocked outside by wooden vines, and as a strong flash of thunder passed, the fallen area was instantly filled by zombies pouncing from behind…
Stone Spikes, accompanied by Wind Blades, also quickly smashed the heads of zombies one by one, while Su Jin attacked the zombies coming from every corner without any blind spots.
“So many zombies, it’s a miracle that the H Province base hasn’t encountered a Zombie Tide,”
Lin Xiuyuan said.
“They periodically channel the zombies near the base into the outside cities.”
This was a temporary countermeasure Lu Hao gave them before they left last time, but now it seems this method can’t solve the problem fundamentally either.
If the surrounding zombies aren’t cleared out early, a Zombie Tide is just a matter of time.
“Even if we encounter a Zombie Tide, it won’t be a problem. Look at the Zombie Tide at the E City base last time. Even when the city walls were like that, they still managed to resist it,”
Lin Cheng said.
“It’s different. The E City base had a larger population, less than half of E City base’s population is here,”
As they spoke, the zombies swarming down from upstairs had already been completely eliminated by Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan, and the family began to head upstairs.
After clearing out a clean battle area upstairs, Lin Cheng also conjured up a winding stone wall to block the approaching zombies.
“It’s not enough, more can come,”
Su Jin learned from Mao Qiqi that there were still many places nearby where zombies had gathered, possibly trapped inside buildings by the base, but what they had to do now was lure all those zombies over.
“No need, Sister Xiao Jin, as long as we stand here, those zombies will come on their own. Over there, they’re already coming,”
Mao Qiqi pointed to the west, where countless zombies were gathering in their direction.
“Hmm, let’s all rest for a while and replenish with Crystal Cores,”
Su Jin also took out a basket of Mutated Crystal Nuclei. These crystal cores are the most precious things for Special Ability Users, but Su Jin generously took them out because they were all level seven and above, usable by the family.
“Just right, we’ve fought for two hours. It’s been a while since I absorbed a crystal core,”
Nie Qing grinned, picking a Level Seven Wind Element Crystal Core. He enjoyed the feeling of absorbing crystal cores, as the spiritual power from the core wandered through his body, making him feel as if he were immersed in warm flowing water – comfortable and relaxing.
Su Jin naturally didn’t need to absorb crystal cores, as the two Man-eating Flowers outside were enough for her to replenish her lost abilities. Knowing more zombies were coming, she spawned six more Man-eating Flowers, surrounding the building.
For some reason, having these little things made her feel incredibly secure inside.
“They’re the hardest workers,”
Lu Hao joked.
The eight Man-eating Flowers stood under the scorching sun and amid the dirty zombie horde, as if a group of the most loyal soldiers guarding them on the front line.
“Yeah, but Xiao Cui loves eating these, so let it eat more,”
Hand in hand with Lu Hao, Su Jin quietly looked towards the distance as the first wave of zombies arrived.
“The Plant vs. Zombies game has begun,”
Lin Xiuyuan whistled, leaning against the wall to wait.
The position on the second floor was neither high nor low, and several windows had been transformed by Lin Cheng into open shapes, for convenience in killing the zombies below.
In the distance, survivors from the H Province base passed by on an adjacent road. For a moment, the people in the vehicles barely had time to be shocked or pause to watch, and the driver floored the accelerator, for just a few roads away, hordes of zombies were rushing in one direction.
“Which defense breached! Run fast,”
The man in the passenger seat broke into a cold sweat, thinking about the unlucky team that had attracted so many zombies over; they decided it was better to escape quickly.
“It should be near the Huixin Fertilizer Factory. The last time, Lao Si said many of the walls there had been broken,”
A team member responded.
“No matter what, we just have to run away. It’s lucky those zombies are all heading for a target,”
The man only felt fortunate that the zombies were heading towards the Vacation Villa. That route never had anyone, and beyond it were all dead ends, so it would be a while before the zombies could come this way.
They gave up the idea of going out to kill zombies and were desperately heading back; if the zombies finished with the people at the Vacation Villa and turned towards them, they wouldn’t be able to return at all.
They weren’t the only team turning back upon realizing the situation, and as several teams just left the city only to return, the news of the Vacation Villa being breached quickly spread throughout the H Province base.
Including among Guan Shouzhong and the others.
“Did Captain Lu and the others leave early this morning?”
Guan Shouzhong asked.
“Yes, they said no matter what happens at the Vacation Villa, we shouldn’t worry or do anything,”
Tian Yongyi truthfully replied. In the morning, Guan Shouzhong was in a meeting with Liang Wei and the others, so the Heart Talk Team only greeted both him and Xiang Sanjin before leaving and told them not to send reinforcements regardless of what happened where they went.
“Then there’s no problem. I bet it’s certainly the work of the Heart Talk Team,”
Wei Junhao also commented from the side upon hearing this.
“But there are a lot of zombies gathered there, I’m still a little worried,”
Guan Shouzhong frowned; he feared the Heart Talk Team underestimated the number of zombies.
“Listen to Lu Hao and the others, nothing will happen,”
Liang Wei also didn’t show any panic. He didn’t know how many zombies appeared, but he only knew one thing: the Heart Talk Team never overestimated.
…
Under the blistering noon sun, in a dilapidated vacation hotel, Su Jin took out a box of fruit popsicles, sharing them with everyone while killing the zombies that endlessly climbed up from below.
Su Xiangzhe emerged refreshed from the space, “Just took a shower, finally don’t feel so hot.”
“Go in and rest for a bit,”
Lu Hao said to Su Jin as his abilities had been fully replenished by her.
“Okay, I’ll go check on those two,”
Su Jin said before slipping into the space, feeling assured with Lu Hao outside, not worried about the family.
It seemed that Su Jin’s presence was sensed, and the laughing Lu Xi and Lu Wang, amused by Little Wu and Little Liu, immediately noticed the approaching person.
“Ah… ah…”
Lu Xi opened her little hands, looking at Su Jin.
“Mommy’s going to take a shower first, otherwise, I’m too smelly,”
Su Jin watched as Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo, laughing heartily, played with Lu Xi and Lu Wang, feeling immensely satisfied — what could be more reassuring than having her family safely by her side?
