Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 950: Into the Trap

Chapter 950: Chapter 950: Into the Trap

“Someone I used to know is here now, I want to go take a look.”

Su Jin glanced at Wei Jinghang with her eyes, and Lu Hao and his family also looked over. It wasn’t someone they knew, so it must be someone Su Jin knew from her previous life?

“Go and take a look then. I also want to know how they dared to set a trap for us even after knowing we are from the Heart Talk Team.”

Lin Xiuyuan whispered.

“I can smell a conspiracy.”

Nie Qing seemed a bit excited, as if anticipating something.

Lu Guanhai rolled his eyes, relieved that they had already put Lu Xi and Lu Wang into the Space. Now, even if there’s a bigger trap ahead, they needn’t worry about the two children anymore.

It was a city bus, though it looked quite dilapidated. As a short man walked, he began to introduce himself.

“My name is Hu Wenbin. I’m also out in the world with our team, with friends in every base. After today, we will all be friends too!”

“Why don’t you find a base to settle down in? Wouldn’t that be safer?”

Su Xiangzhe asked.

“Hmph, so many rules at the base, no this, no that. Where’s the freedom in that compared to being outside, killing and burning…”

Hu Wenbin seemed to realize he had said too much and quickly started to laugh it off and change the subject.

Just as they were about to get on the bus, Wei Jinghang, who was walking ahead, subtly slowed down. When Lu Hao reached him, he staggered a bit, and Lu Hao quickly reached out to steady him.

“Careful.”

Lu Hao said.

“Thanks.”

As Wei Jinghang uttered these words, Hu Wenbin, who was in the front, started cursing.

“Wei, hurry up and drive, what are you dawdling for back there?”

“Just tripped a bit.”

Wei Jinghang replied with his head down and then headed towards the driver’s seat.

Hu Wenbin continued grumbling in the front, and the family’s faces subtly changed.

Lu Hao, holding Su Jin’s hand, walked to the last row of seats, then lowered his head to open the note in his hand. The Space Element Ability User earlier didn’t almost fall; it was actually to slip a note into his hand.

The note contained only a few pre-written words: Trap, don’t go, run…

Su Jin pretended to lean against Lu Hao’s arm and saw those words too, but after reading them, she smiled.

Indeed, Wei Jinghang was being forced.

He still wanted to warn these strangers, which was exactly what the Wei Jinghang from the previous life would have done. But this only fueled Su Jin’s curiosity to find out what happened even more.

Wei Jinghang’s team shouldn’t be weak, but it’s already the third year of the apocalypse. Maybe something happened to him later on.

“Once we reach our camp, you can drop off your car for us to fix. Our leader will definitely want to chat and make friends with you.”

Hu Wenbin, sitting in front and facing the team, said.

“How many people are in your camp?”

Lin Cheng asked, feigning curiosity.

“Not as many as your large base, but definitely three to five hundred people. By the way, if you’re interested, you can join us. We have no rules, and you can even marry seven beauties as wives, and no one will care.”

Hu Wenbin smiled at Su Jin and the others, believing that their leader would be very interested once he brought these beautifully attractive women back.

The men in the bus with Hu Wenbin laughed out loud at this. Wang Chan gave Hu Wenbin a look of disgust but soon looked out the window indifferently.

“Most people can’t even support so many wives in such times of scarcity.”

Lu Guanhai sneered.

Men who can afford so many women are respectable; otherwise, it’s just chaos and plunder.

“It’s not hard to support in our camp. Keeping a woman is easier than keeping a dog.”

Seeing Huang Yunxiang and the others’ faces turning increasingly sour, Hu Wenbin laughed and explained:

“But you all seem like considerate spouses. Just take it as a joke. Don’t take it to heart.”

“What a shitty camp you have, makes me sick to even listen to, let alone join.”

Lin Xiuyuan swung his leg arrogantly, refuting with an air of contempt. He had been annoyed by this person for a while, and since Su Jin and Lu Hao didn’t hold him back, he indulged his craving for verbal sparring.

Hu Wenbin indeed lost his smile. He had always been proud of their camp, and it was the first time he’d heard someone criticize it so harshly.

“Joining our camp comes with conditions, which you’ll know when you get there.”

Hu Wenbin said.

“No, we’re not interested in joining. You keep it to enjoy yourself.”

Lin Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, stopped engaging, and asked Su Jin to take a can of soda from her backpack, drinking it ostentatiously.

Hu Wenbin watched as Lin Xiuyuan held a canned soda he hadn’t tasted in years, involuntarily swallowing. The Heart Talk Team indeed had plenty of supplies, just as rumored, but even if they were powerful, they wouldn’t escape his leader’s camp.

“You’re quite the actor.”

Su Jin helplessly said to Lin Xiuyuan beside her.

“Humph, I just enjoy watching him want what he can’t take from me.”

Lin Xiuyuan crushed the empty soda can and tossed it out the window, then continued to munch on a packaged duck’s foot.

The people in the bus had their attention drawn to Lin Xiuyuan’s constant eating. However, Wei Jinghang saw through the rear-view mirror the soda can tossed out of the window.

The soda can accurately struck a zombie running a few meters outside the bus, hitting its head and stopping it from getting up again…

Finally, they arrived at the camp Hu Wenbin spoke of. The family was surprised to find it was a vibrant camp surrounded by lush green trees.

Those trees seemed exceptionally tall, with some carrying red fruits. Their roots and vines entwined around an Earth Element City Wall, and inside were low buildings, indicating it was a village even before the apocalypse.

Burp~

As Lin Xiuyuan got off the bus, he burped loudly, stretched, smiled at Hu Wenbin, and said:

“Nice environment.”

“…”

“Are those mutated plants?”

Lu Hao asked Su Jin beside him.

“They should be, but something seems strange.”

Su Jin couldn’t shake the feeling that something was odd, especially how these mutated plants could peacefully coexist with humans.

“I’ll take you to meet our leader, let’s go everyone~”

Hu Wenbin couldn’t shake the feeling that Lin Xiuyuan was always looking at him with malice, but he felt it was just his imagination, thinking they were merely lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
