Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 929 Provocation

Chapter 929: Chapter 929 Provocation
“Tomorrow I’ll go take a look around, if I don’t find anything, so be it.”
Lu Hao said.
“Well, speaking of which, when I saw dozens of zombies wandering outside back then, there were a few special ability users ahead. I thought they were running away.”
Mao Qiqi said.
“Could it be that some team accidentally attracted the zombies?”
Xue Wanyi didn’t even quite believe what he said.
“Don’t worry, once Captain Lu goes, the truth will be out in no time.”
Yin Chengtian had great confidence in Lu Hao’s skills. After all, that’s what their Captain Lu used to do.
“Fortunately, it’s over now. Apart from delaying M Peak’s research, it didn’t cause much damage.”
Lin Tianhui said while tidying up her medicine box. In the past few days, she’s exhausted her abilities daily, and even some people with old injuries would bring crystal cores to ask for her treatment.
“If someone really tried to trick us, we aren’t pushovers; we must strike back.”
Lin Xiuyuan expressed. Since the fall of the Han Family, their Heart Talk Team hadn’t been challenged by anyone.
“That’s right, everyone should go out together tomorrow.”
Lin Cheng slapped his thigh. He had set up this rest area with others. If they didn’t find the perpetrator, it would nag at him.
In the evening, after Su Jin and Lu Hao had lulled Lu Xi and Lu Wang to sleep, Su Jin brought a few plates of fruit and started chatting with Lu Hao.
The couple often chatted while eating in the side yard of the Lu Residence, sometimes discussing experiences with abilities. Lu Hao would also help Su Jin come up with some Wood Element moves, but today they talked about the recently ended zombie tide.
“Do you already have a suspect?”
Su Jin asked.
“Yes, I do.”
Lu Hao nodded, taking a bite of apple fed by Su Jin.
“Let me guess, that group I planted seeds with that day?”
Su Jin said and then looked at Lu Hao expectantly.
“Smart, besides them, I can’t think of any other anomalies recently.”
It was easy to think of them since Li Xunyan had left with obvious anger.
“If it really is them, then it’s going to be interesting.”
They had already been given a chance. If they don’t cherish it, she wouldn’t mind fulfilling the promise made back then.
…
The bodies of zombies outside the city had been completely burned to ash by the Fire Element Ability Users. Xing Taian found it odd that the Heart Talk Team had gone out early in the morning, but since they also had their own training schedules, he didn’t ask much.
No one would have thought the previous zombie tide was orchestrated by someone intentionally.
Until Lu Hao followed the direction in Mao Qiqi’s memory and found some suspicious bloodstains on the road, the family became even more suspicious.
“They might have already run away.”
Lin Xiuyuan said.
“Possibly, but they might also be waiting for a result.”
Lu Hao continued driving ahead, intending to detour on the roads towards Z Province and H Province with Mao Qiqi’s guidance.
Inside a large, tightly closed farmer’s market, Zhang Feng kicked aside a can, causing it to echo throughout the empty market and drew attention to the iron gate being hit from outside, accompanied by the sound of snarling.
“Zhang Feng, are you crazy?! Why make such a loud noise?”
Li Xunyan scolded.
Zhang Feng laughed nonchalantly:
“What’s the harm? We’ve already lured away all the zombies around here. What’s there to fear about the dozen or so left?”
“You two are the real lunatics. If it wasn’t for your stubbornness, would Huang Liang have died?!”
Zhou Jingtong pointed and scolded them. Huang Liang was a Speed Element Ability User. The two of them refused to give Huang Liang more food unless he continued drawing zombies towards the resting area.
Apart from Huang Liang, another four ability users hadn’t returned yet, and those forced ability users at that time had cut their own flesh to attract zombies. The consequence was obvious.
“Death is inevitable. We only have this much supplies now. The next step is to lure zombies from around that supermarket. You need to go too.”
Li Xunyan laughed maniacally.
“You crazy woman, Zhang Feng! Don’t listen to her, she will get us all killed.”
Zhou Jingtong shouted. Zhang Feng was their team’s Space Element Ability User, holding all their supplies, yet he followed whatever Li Xunyan said, causing everyone else to feel furious but unable to express it.
“Without Xunyan, we’d have starved long ago; could we have survived till today?”
Zhang Feng, as expected, was not persuaded and glared at Zhou Jingtong.
Li Xunyan was originally from the Y Autonomous Region. After escaping, she had helped them find a lot of supplies, and the two already had a relationship, so they conspired together.
“Zhou Jingtong, stop stirring things up. What good are you? A Power Element Ability User who can only brawl with a few zombies—do you believe I won’t throw you out right now?”
Li Xunyan laughed, regretting not sending Zhou Jingtong to lure zombies this time.
Huang Liang was much more obedient than Zhou Jingtong.
“Crazies, crazies.”
Zhou Jingtong saw the team members only sitting idly on the sidelines, so he angrily walked into another room. Why, even after escaping, was it still impossible to live like decent human beings…
…
“Found it.”
On the highway not far away, Mao Qiqi asked Lu Hao to stop temporarily. On her small map, there were thirty or forty people gathered at one spot, though she wasn’t sure who they were.
“No problem, just drive over; if it’s really them, I’ll have a way to confirm it.”
Su Jin smiled—those seeds were still within their bodies.
Li Xunyan and Zhang Feng had just finished eating a can of expired eight-treasure porridge and were about to head out when Li Xunyan suddenly felt a familiar pain at the back of her neck.
What’s happening?!
As the stench came, indeed, a plant emitting the smell of decay had grown from the back of her neck.
“It hurts… Feng, what’s going on?”
Li Xunyan lay in pain on the ground, wondering why the others were unaffected. Was it that woman?
Clang~
A sound of metal breaking was heard.
“Nice to see you again~”
Lin Xiuyuan walked at the front, smiling at the woman lying on the ground and the group standing behind her.
“It’s you guys? What are you here for?!”
Zhang Feng instantly retreated a few steps, an action fully noted by Lu Hao.
“Is this backpack yours?”
Su Jin threw out a blood-stained backpack, which she and Lu Hao remembered clearly belonged to one of Li Xunyan’s group members.
“It’s not ours.”
Zhang Feng flatly denied, yet the expressions of those behind him revealed their panic.
“Let me guess, you’re missing exactly five people. Were those five eaten by zombies? So, who will be the next five eaten by zombies?”
Su Jin looked at the crowd with varied expressions, speaking with a smile.
