Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 978: Friends Arrive
Chapter 978: Chapter 978: Friends Arrive
Since returning to the S City base, Su Jin has been spending every day either cultivating Snow Spirit Flowers or going back and forth between the Weapon Research Institute and the Snow Spirit Flower cultivation base.
Lian Ze’s research has been quite successful. Now, just one Snow Spirit Flower is enough for a dose of antidote, and the effects are much better than before. The next step is to start researching the virus vaccine together with Tang Xue and others.
Recently, the flower production efficiency at the Snow Spirit Flower cultivation base has also improved significantly from the beginning. Many of the Wood Element Ability Users who have been cultivating Snow Spirit Flowers at the base since the start can now produce one Snow Spirit Flower a day.
This includes Yin Chengtian, who is working hard in the villa. He can now cultivate one flower in about ten hours.
Although the waiting time at the S City base entrance has been eliminated, routine checks are still conducted. In the past, injured people would nervously undergo various checks upon return. Now, they are directly sent to designated wards in the base hospital through the green channel.
The base’s casualties have almost been reduced to the minimum, all thanks to the Snow Spirit Flower and the antidote.
“What? You don’t have to wait for two hours anymore?”
At the entrance of the S City base, a few people of different ethnic backgrounds asked in surprise.
“Yes, there are still checks, but once you’ve registered, you can enter through that area. If everything’s fine with the check, you can immediately enter the base from there,”
the staff member replied with a smile. Seeing the surprised expressions of these foreigners, they felt immensely proud. Only at their S City base could such a humane and perfect system be established, right?
Qiao and David were indeed shocked.
“Why don’t you have to wait for two hours anymore?”
David asked.
“I just saw…someone injured being taken inside,”
Abby pointed to the green channel, saying she couldn’t read the text but could still make out some things.
“Green channel? Priority for those bitten or scratched by zombies?”
Qiao looked at the sign and was a little confused. This was the first time he doubted his comprehension of foreign languages. Why were injured people being brought into the base? Didn’t they fear the spread of the zombie virus?
The group from Y Country hadn’t visited the S City base for nearly half a year. Now that their Y Country base had developed stable, they came only when their resources had depleted to a certain level.
Upon entering the S City base, there was a huge information board similar to a billboard, with large and prominent letters saying, “The base is recruiting Wood Element Ability Users. Generous compensation upon hiring…”
Qiao read it and became even more puzzled.
They already knew about the healing functions of Wood Element Ability Users from the S City base before, but the base’s reaction back then was not like this. Why did it seem like Wood Element Ability Users were so important now?
“Qiao, let’s go find Su Jin directly!”
Morris said excitedly. They didn’t see Su Jin the last time they came; this time, they should be here.
“Alright, let’s go find them first.”
Qiao smiled, as friends were missing Su Jin and the others.
At the Heart Talk Team villa, it was a stranger with a bone in his mouth who opened the door.
Kou Ning blinked at people of various ethnic backgrounds. Could these be the Y Country friends that Su Jin and the others mentioned to him before?
“Hello, may I ask if Su Jin, Captain Su…lives here?”
Qiao asked uncertainly. Who was this man? How come they hadn’t seen him before?
“Yes, yes, welcome, welcome, come in first. I’ll go call them,”
Kou Ning was sure, hearing Qiao speaking fluent Mandarin, that these were indeed the Y Country friends known by the Heart Talk Team.
The family that had just been pulled out of the space by Qiqi outside did not expect Qiao to come at this time, but they still showed great hospitality.
“I’ll have Lin Xiuyuan call Su Jin and Lu Hao back, you just sit anywhere.”
Huang Yunxiang arranged a pile of snacks to entertain them. They were still the same young people they were familiar with before. Even though there was a language barrier, the mutual understanding was still present.
“Thank you, beautiful lady,”
Avril said with her newly learned language, which immediately delighted Huang Yunxiang, who then brought plates of homemade puddings from the fridge to share among them.
The soft and delicious pudding was topped with a layer of sweet caramel, paired with honey cupcakes that weren’t overly sweet. The two girls instantly felt like they were in heaven with such delicacy.
Having such a dessert in the apocalypse seemed like a luxury and blessing.
“You came at the right time. Just a few days ago, Su Jin and Lu Hao mentioned your Y Country,”
Su Xiangzhe said with a smile.
As the base had already publicized the Snow Spirit Flower, they were no longer keeping secrets from anyone. Su Jin and Lu Hao naturally thought of Y Country, although they hadn’t had the chance to visit. Unexpectedly, Qiao and his group came by themselves.
“We were just wondering why S City base doesn’t require a two-hour wait anymore. Isn’t it dangerous?”
Qiao asked.
“Hahaha, we’re not afraid of danger because we’ve found a way to solve it,”
Su Xiangzhe said boastfully.
When Su Jin and Lu Hao were called back by Lin Xiuyuan, Qiao’s group in the living room was still exclaiming in shock, and David and the others were so excited that their faces turned red.
“Oh Su Jin, Lu Hao, my God, we finally meet you,”
Abby wanted to give Su Jin, who had just walked in, a big hug but was stopped by the sight of the two of them each holding a delicate, adorable baby.
“Long time no see, it looks like everyone is doing well,”
Su Jin smiled and greeted the same crew along with Lu Hao.
“Su Jin, everyone, please allow me to express my utmost respect for you. You actually found a pharmaceutical product for the zombie virus. Indeed, Huaxia’s civilization is profound; the cure for the zombie virus is actually hidden in a flower!”
Qiao said excitedly, simultaneously feeling deeply moved. The Heart Talk Team didn’t hide this from them, which meant they could share this good news with their country and even take that magical plant back!
“We are just lucky, the real heroes are the scientists. Without them, we couldn’t have found the cure,”
Su Jin explained with a smile.
“Big sister is so cute,”
Lu Xi and Lu Wang had been watching the dark-skinned Abby and Avril for a while.
They had only seen dark-skinned children in picture books and on TV. Now that Abby and Avril were standing right in front of them, Lu Wang wanted to get their attention and blinked his eyes to compliment them.
“Oh, my dear little angels, you’re even cuter. Su Jin and Lu Hao’s babies are truly well-behaved,”
Avril, after listening to Qiao’s translation, beamed and spoke to Lu Xi and Lu Wang.
