Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 971: Busy Advancing
Chapter 971: Chapter 971: Busy Advancing
Saying goodbye to Base D City, the three found an empty place and entered the space along with their car.
They plan to directly use the teleportation array to their hometown in City H, then set off from there to Base H Province, this way saving one or two days of travel.
“No hurry to go out yet, come on, come on, try some fruit preserves I boiled with rock sugar; Xiuyuan has already chilled them”
Lin Yunguo called over to the three.
There’s no logic in entering space and going out immediately; one must consume some food first.
“Great, I love Grandpa’s chilled fruit preserves the most, I could eat a whole basin”
Mao Qiqi said happily.
The taste Lin Yunguo made was much better than the preserves she ate before the apocalypse, and she could eat endlessly if not for Lin Tianzhen stopping her.
“Grandpa, where did Grandma go? Why didn’t I see her?”
Su Jin asked.
“Ah, she hasn’t seen Xixi and Wangwang for days; says she’s missing them terribly, so she’s taking Little Wu and Little Liu for a stroll now”
Lin Yunguo replied.
Though just a few days apart, calculating time in space they hadn’t seen their great-grandson and great-granddaughter for many days; no wonder Li Xiuying missed them.
“Why don’t we take Grandpa and Grandma for a walk outside? We’re about to reach the hometown in City H soon”
Lu Hao suggested.
Lin Yunguo laughed:
“There’s nothing much to see on a walk, just zombies; what’s so interesting about zombies, right, I’m too lazy to go”
Anyway, he felt that nowhere outside was as good as the space.
Here he could indulge himself in researching a new dish, could create as much as he liked, wouldn’t get scolded for wasting food, and could often be with family, sometimes even setting up a stall to sell things…
He had long learned self-regulation and accustomed habits to such life, though somewhat detached from human society, he knew that even outside space, human society had long lost traces of their generation of elders, and old friends of yesteryear faced dire fates; rather, he felt peaceful enjoying family happiness here.
“Grandpa, you’re right, but I believe that you and Grandma will surely see a new human world in the future”
Su Jin said while eating, one day, humanity will conquer this disaster.
“Alright, I’m waiting for you all”
Lin Yunguo replied with a smile.
No matter what, having hope is always good.
After the three of them filled themselves and quenched their thirst, they entered the teleportation array of their hometown in City H.
A lot of zombies in City H have already been eliminated by the family, but zombies from the Dead City continued to gather endlessly, and they were happy not to attract more monsters, otherwise there would be hardly a place to fight zombies during leisure.
“Traveling from City D to Base H Province too quickly might draw the attention of those with ulterior motives; we could choose a place to feed the Man-eating Flower?”
Su Jin suggested.
“That’s possible”
Lu Hao had the same idea, and every time they cleared zombies for Base H Province, he and the family felt like they were doing good for their homeland.
Eventually, with Mao Qiqi’s guidance, the three found a city center full of zombies, not within City H’s range anymore, but before the apocalypse, it was a very habitable city, hence an absurdly high number of zombies inside.
“The zombies here haven’t started eating other zombies”
Mao Qiqi said, it seemed her brother-in-law Lu Hao was right, maybe there was some reason those zombies in those places started eating peers.
They now stood atop a high building, the zombies below were already boiling over.
“These zombies have been here for ages, barely moved at all”
Lu Hao said after having a look.
“Yeah, then I’ll grow more Man-eating Flowers, later on, I can grow another wave of Snow Spirit Flowers”
Su Jin said, tossing Man-eating Flowers down.
During this time, she had sent out nearly a thousand Snow Spirit Flowers. Despite having some two thousand left in space, she wanted to grow as many as possible since they could each save a life.
“I’ll join Qiqi to kill some zombies before heading in”
Lu Hao said, as there were quite a few zombies in the building, they needed to consume some special abilities.
Upon Su Jin’s entrance announcing Lu Hao and Mao Qiqi were outside killing zombies, Lin Cheng and Su Xiangzhe had Su Jin take them out to participate for a while, having barely used their special abilities these past days, everyone was eager to advance quickly.
“Lin Xiuyuan and Kou Ning have been going out early and returning late these days, those two kids are working hard”
Lin Tianhui accompanied Su Jin in nurturing Snow Spirit Flowers, so Su Jin wouldn’t get bored.
“Is Lin Xiuyuan close to advancing?”
Su Jin asked.
“He said he’s close, but advancing to Level Eight is so hard, it’s not something that can be done instantly”
Lin Tianhui replied.
“Currently, the base’s Special Ability Users’ levels are indeed somewhat lower compared to the zombies, but it can’t be helped”
Su Jin thought, with every winter, humans evolve fewer months compared to zombies, plus zombies evolve quickly.
“The base is now prepared to use weapons against gathered zombies; not sure if you’ll make it back in time”
Using weapons?
Su Jin recalled Dr. Pei and others, previously hearing they developed mobile large-scale launch weapons intended to blow zombies up.
“We should make it, Base H Province isn’t far away”
Su Jin thought, and assumed Guan Shouzhong and the others were well-aware of the Snow Spirit Flower situation, presumably prepared early.
Outside the space, the zombies within the dozen floors were already taken care of by the family, Mao Qiqi and Huang Yunxiang admired the Man-eating Flowers eating zombies by the window.
A street full of zombies was now chaotically chewed on by twenty Man-eating Flowers, where initially crowded zombies filled the road, unable to move.
Roar~
The smell of those upstairs also caught the attention of zombies below, to avoid disrupting the Man-eating Flowers from further progress, the family quickly retreated into the space.
Su Jin, while absorbing the special ability from the Man-eating Flowers, also quickly nurtured Snow Spirit Flowers; she now could grow one every half an hour, but only up to the bud state, leaving the remainder for Lu Xi to play the “bloom flower” game when he came in.
The 2,000 Snow Spirit Flowers became nearly 4,000 by the third morning when the three left.
During this, the Man-eating Flowers played an indispensable role, without a moment’s pause while eating, busily looking like models of hard work.
“There’s no worry about no deliveries now”
Su Jin looked triumphantly at the Spirit Field, a sea of flowers, longing for the 4,000 flowers to double next time to 8,000.
However, Su Jin’s hope for 4,000 doubling didn’t become reality, as when they arrived at Base H Province, the base had already suffered considerable casualties due to a minor Zombie Tide.
