Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 982: Old Friend?
Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Old Friend?
The place they were resting this time was a relatively safe spot.
A high-rise office building with 60 floors, and they were on the 55th floor, so when Qiqi said they were surrounded, Lin Cheng didn’t think it was the end.
Because there was still a considerable distance below them, the zombies on the ground couldn’t reach them, and when Xiao Jin’s Man-eating Flower stood guard outside, it would be a trap for the zombies.
However, this time the situation was evidently different from what the family had encountered before.
After hearing Lin Cheng’s words, Mao Qiqi shook her head and said, “Those zombies are entering the office building, it seems like they’re climbing the stairs.”
?!
Lin Cheng stood up with a start, instantly waking the sleeping Lin Xiuyuan next to him.
“What’s happening?!”
Climbing stairs?
The zombies must be evolving, right?
The family slept lightly outside and quickly understood the situation upon waking up, and no one was flustered.
“Qiqi, did you sense the presence of a Mental Element Zombie?”
Su Jin asked.
Mao Qiqi regretfully shook her head. Besides the densely moving Mutated Zombies, she didn’t sense any special zombies.
“Those zombies still need some time to climb this high, so what do we do now?”
Huang Yunxiang felt even the ground beneath her feet was unsafe.
Were they trapped in this building now?
“Kill as many as come, or go to the opposite side,”
Lu Hao pointed to the office building opposite, which was about the same height. From here to there was the width of a street, and either by height or width, it was a risky move.
“Then let’s kill them all,”
Su Jin said, stretching her legs, but she wondered if the Man-eating Flower could go downstairs.
However, it turned out that the Man-eating Flower didn’t need to go far down the stairs, as long as they blocked the staircase entrance on each floor, they could eat most of the zombies climbing up.
“I might not be able to use my Special Ability,”
Lu Hao said, as the office’s confined space meant that if a fire started, they would be in danger, and there was even a risk of collapse.
“But… there are many Fire Element Zombies,”
Su Jin felt uneasy after hearing this. Sure enough, one of the lower floors had started burning, and the smell of smoke quickly wafted up.
“Could this be the idea of that zombie? If so, it’s really scary,”
Lin Cheng increasingly felt that they were a group being toyed with by that zombie, trapped by one zombie.
“Damn it, I want to stab from above to below, but I’m afraid the floor couldn’t withstand and might break,”
Kou Ning also wanted a quick resolution since the stairs were densely packed with zombies; could they really kill them one by one?
“Let’s go to the rooftop,”
Lu Hao said, as the rooftop was spacious, making it easier for everyone to engage.
“Brother-in-law, the opposite rooftop,”
Mao Qiqi pointed at the empty rooftop opposite, where there had indeed been a zombie just before.
“It really seems to be him, can you determine his direction?”
Lu Hao sneered; he was being observed from the opposite side, almost indistinguishable from a human brain.
Human brain?
Lu Hao was suddenly struck by this term, but zombies were already crawling up from the rooftop entrance, various Special Abilities intersecting in the night sky, making the whole office building area even more lively…
The battle continued until dawn the next day.
Lu Hao, seeing everyone had not rested for a whole night, decided that everyone should rest first. They were fearless of zombies but could not continue without their Special Abilities and energy.
“I’m really sleepy too,”
Kou Ning yawned widely and soon fell asleep on the folding bed set up in the rooftop hall.
“Aunt, Qiqi, let’s rest in the room next door,”
Su Jin said, planning to let everyone take turns resting in their Space, even if just for half an hour.
Lu Hao stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing outside, pondering, as it was evident that the zombie had already discovered them.
“Aren’t you going to rest?”
Lian Jiyue came over and asked, as Lin Cheng and Nie Qing had gone to another room to rest.
“Mm, I’ll switch with them later, you get some sleep first, you’ve worked hard,”
Lu Hao said; the family should be resting in the Space, and he was standing guard outside for now.
“Do you have any leads on that zombie?”
Lian Jiyue asked, noticing Lu Hao’s contemplative expression.
Lu Hao nodded and said, “It probably knows us.”
“?”
Knows them? How could a zombie recognize them?
Lian Jiyue was puzzled.
“Before becoming a zombie, it was first a human,”
Lu Hao said.
“You’re saying it still retains human memory?”
Lian Jiyue understood, Lu Hao suspected it might be a zombie that hadn’t fully degenerated.
“Mm, when it encounters other teams, it deals with them on the spot, but with us, it hides on the opposite side and lets other zombies attack us, which is quite telling,”
Lu Hao explained.
“I get it, it might really be an old friend,”
Lian Jiyue said with a smile; the development of this matter was getting more and more interesting.
…
In the distance in C City, a figure entered an apartment, as usual carrying back a human, but this human had already become a corpse.
Although Jiajia didn’t like eating dead bodies, perhaps due to not feeding for a few days, he watched it consume the corpse.
“Delicious, Jiajia, perhaps soon you’ll be able to talk with me,”
Han Jin said, looking at his ugly, unsightly self in the mirror, with sticky chewing sounds from behind.
Now he no longer minded being a zombie.
Initially, when his human memory returned, discovering he’d turned into a zombie made it hard to accept his ugly self.
Later, he realized that the zombies he once considered enemies had all become allies under his command, and the hatred in his heart took deep root.
It was the Wei Family, those people at the B City base who turned the Han Family into this.
Their original wealth and prosperity were entirely thanks to those people, and he still remembered the tragic fate of their father, Han Zhimin, vividly.
What did those people do after taking over the Han Family?
Clearly, they said they were resisting Han Family’s research but then seized their nurtured Special Ability Users, forcing them to submit to other forces?
Or did the major powers divide all the Han Family’s Crystal Cores? Or directly take away their so many research成果s, using them openly in the base after they all died?
Those humans were too hypocritical.
And now, those people had found the former Heart Talk Team. When he saw those Man-eating Flowers, he confirmed it; they belonged to the Heart Talk Team’s Su Jin.
At a time like this, the Heart Talk Team’s appearance must be to deal with him.
“Jiajia, I’m about to set off, and I’ll turn the entire B City base into our Han Family’s territory; wait here for my good news,”
Han Jin said, touching Han Jiajia’s head with his grayish hand.
The blood and flesh-covered Han Jiajia was engrossed in eating, without any extra reaction.
