Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 992: Team Advancement
Chapter 992: Chapter 992: Team Advancement
Su Jin spent a full seven days advancing in the space, during which even Lu Hao didn’t dare disturb her. No one had expected that advancing from Level Eight to Level Nine would take so long.
When she opened her eyes again, Su Jin felt the boundless Sea of Special Ability within her and smiled contentedly.
“Girl, congratulations!”
Nie Qing was idly researching alchemy with Lu Hao. Seeing the refreshed Su Jin walk out, he knew she had successfully advanced.
“Thank you, Uncle Nie.”
“Mom! Mom!”
Lu Xi and Lu Wang ran quickly over from the lush green grass and started complaining tearfully upon seeing Su Jin.
They knew their mom was in the room, but their dad wouldn’t let them see her, yet he secretly watched from beside the door. Dad was so mean!
“Mom was in an advanced state and couldn’t be disturbed, or failure could have occurred,”
Su Jin explained with a smile.
“Failure? Then has Mom succeeded now?”
Lu Xi asked.
“Since you were all so well-behaved, of course, Mom succeeded,”
Su Jin said happily, pinching the little hands of the two kids.
Lu Xi and Lu Wang immediately ran circles around Su Jin, shouting, “Mom succeeded!”
The whole family gathered around, as Lin Xiuyuan, Lin Cheng, and Su Xiangzhe had also recently finished their advanced states, filling the Wood Spirit Space with a lively and joyful atmosphere.
“Speaking of which, how do you explain the situation with Labi?”
Lin Xiuyuan asked. None of them expected Su Jin and Lu Hao to bring Labi out of the Zombie Tide.
“The usual nonsense to muddle through,”
Su Jin blinked. The clearer the explanation, the less believable it is. It’s better to be vague and muddle through.
Besides, after killing Han Jin, Labi led them to a deserted place, which Qiqi confirmed that no one would see them there.
“Alright, Xiao Jin worked hard, and everyone worked hard. We must celebrate properly at noon today,”
Lin Yunguo showcased the table full of dishes he had made.
Having not eaten for seven days, Su Jin had already smelled the enticing aroma and, looking at the colorful and delicious dishes, found them more tempting than a grand feast.
“Grandpa, I think so much food still won’t be enough for me,”
Su Jin said, swallowing her saliva.
“Hahaha! If it’s not enough, there’s still more in the kitchen. That big eater of yours should still be advancing. When you go out in a few days, I’ve prepared meals for him to ensure he’s satisfied,”
Lin Yunguo laughed heartily. He wondered how much Kou Ning could eat in one go after several days of not eating.
Although Su Jin was full of energy, she suddenly remembered she hadn’t bathed in so many days and quickly took a shower before joining the family for a lively meal.
“This time, the Zombie Tide you encountered kept your grandpa busy. He steamed hundreds of baskets of buns alone,”
Li Xiuying said at the dining table. The key point is that they were all given away.
Lu Hao diligently served Su Jin dishes, and when Su Jin looked down at her bowl, it was full of her favorite foods.
“Speaking of which, when I heard you went into the center of the Zombie Tide, I was so scared that I took the afternoon off work,”
Lin Tianhui shook her head. Her daughter and son-in-law were excellent in every way, except they could be too reckless sometimes. She’d seen the Zombie Tide, and they even took Mao Qiqi into its center.
“Mom, we had the space, so we were very careful,”
Su Jin explained quickly, fearing that Lin Tianhui would complain about Lu Hao.
“Yes, I was very careful,”
Lu Hao added.
“…”
Lu Guanhai thought it was better if his son didn’t speak. Why did everything he said come out wrong?
…
After successfully advancing, Su Jin didn’t immediately leave the space because she had advanced to Level Nine. She needed to wait until Kou Ning also successfully advanced before going out again.
Kou Ning took a full eight days to advance from Level Seven to Level Eight. After finally succeeding, he collapsed from hunger at the door.
“Quick, quickly give me something to eat. I want meat…”
Kou Ning called out feebly.
“…Kou Ning, you’re too weak. Eating meat directly isn’t good for your stomach. I’ll bring over some meat porridge, so have some lean meat porridge first,”
Huang Yunxiang looked at Kou Ning clinging to her ankle, seemingly afraid she wouldn’t give him anything to eat.
After eating a small pot of meat porridge, Kou Ning finally felt alive again.
“Thank you, Auntie. How many days was I advancing?”
Kou Ning asked.
“Not too many, just eight days,”
Lian Jiyue said with a smile, looking at the dusty, bearded Kou Ning. Even so, he envied Kou Ning for successfully advancing.
The news of a Level Nine Special Ability User appearing at B City Base quickly spread throughout the base. Although this Level Nine Special Ability User wasn’t actually from their B City Base, they did successfully advance there.
“Su Jin, you’re simply the great benefactors of our B City Base,”
Wei Junhao almost knelt down when he saw the Heart Talk Team. He had many questions, but what he most wanted to express was gratitude.
“We’re unworthy of being called benefactors. Just don’t forget to settle our mission Crystal Cores,”
The typical Heart Talk Team style made Wei Junhao and Wei Yinghao, who had followed him over, feel the atmosphere lighten significantly.
“Not a single Crystal Core from the mission will be missed. I also know that every Zombie Tide before, Liang Jiuhui from S City Base would give you a share. Of course, this time we won’t be an exception, so rest assured,”
Wei Junhao guaranteed. The Wei Family had already prepared for the Crystal Cores, including the expenses for the Snow Spirit Flower over the past days. They were confident it wouldn’t disappoint Heart Talk Team.
“So… where is that Mutated Lion now?”
Wei Wei still asked his most concerned question. Such a large lion, how come it had never been heard of before?
“Released. It just so happens we saved its two cubs before, and it can communicate with Qiqi using spiritual power. Seeing we were in trouble, it came to help us,”
Su Jin recited the story they prepared long ago.
“No wonder. It’s all about fate, fate indeed. That Mutated Lion was truly amazing,”
Wei Wei felt it was a pity. The Mutated Lion was clearly not like other Mutant animals, but such rare creatures could only be encountered by chance.
“Have the people from N City and F City bases gone back already?”
Lu Hao changed the subject, asking.
“Yes, they’ve all returned first. We must visit them to express our gratitude in the future,”
Wei Yinghao answered.
“Hmm, was there any discovery about that matter?”
Lu Hao asked.
“Do you mean Han Jin’s head?”
Seeing Lu Hao nod, Wei Yinghao truthfully conveyed the Research Department’s findings regarding Han Jin’s head, which Lu Hao had brought back.
Indeed, Han Jin underwent surgery to add a Crystal Core. He had two Crystal Cores in his brain, besides his own Earth Element, there was also a Mental Element Mutator Crystal Core, just as Lu Hao had speculated.
