Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

The bus doors closed, and the vehicle slowly started to move.

Two staff members stopped Chen Xiarong who was trying to chase after it. What was up with this disheveled woman?

No matter whom she knew inside the bus, it was now impossible to let her on.

“Did you see that? Did you see? Brother Lu just smiled at me!” Chen Xiarong wasn’t annoyed because she had clearly seen Lu Hao smile at her. Even though these two people had stopped her, she felt only happiness and sweetness in her heart at that moment.

Lu Hao was still so handsome, not at all like those dirty and smelly men of the Apocalypse, and she noticed something else—there was no woman by his side. Could it mean that the woman had died?

Ha ha ha ha ha, indeed, only the one who survives to the end is the winner.

The two staff members shook their heads as they watched Chen Xiarong laugh crazily. Seeing that she was no longer causing a scene, they let her go.

Could it be that this woman’s mind was affected?

Ignoring everything around her, Chen Xiarong walked back. Yes, she would sign up to go to the base right now. She needed to take tomorrow’s bus, maybe she would see Brother Lu tomorrow!

“Sorry, you’ve already registered for the last day of the transfer, and we can’t change it now,” a female staff member from the administrative department answered patiently.

“But I, I want to go tomorrow; I have an urgent matter there,” Chen Xiarong insisted.

“Please cooperate with our work. Tomorrow’s personnel are already determined and have been tallied, we suggest you wait,”

The composed attitude of the staff member only irritated Chen Xiarong further. She slammed the table forcefully and yelled, “How can it be not okay just to add one more person? Just add my name, is it that hard?”

The staff member, accustomed to such behavior, was not intimidated but continued to respond, “It’s not possible.”

Chen Xiarong wanted to say more when suddenly someone stepped in front of her.

Li Haochu stood in front of Chen Xiarong without saying a word, his gaze alone frightened her half to death. She took two steps back and then walked away sulkily.

Chen Xiarong wished she could go to the safety base now to find Lu Hao, but because she had registered for the last group of transfer to stay longer in the refuge and have a few more meals, she felt regret over her prior decision. What should she do now? Could she only wait here?

In the bus filled with survivors, Lu Hao leaned emotionlessly against the door. He had indeed smiled when he saw Chen Xiarong.

The last time at North Mountain, encountering the mutated ferret, he had also asked Su Jin what dream she had had. Su Jin hesitantly said it was about Chen Xiarong.

Although the mutated ferret had only induced everyone into a dream, the dreams everyone had were invariably about the deepest fears in their subconscious. At that time, he realized that the event from his past life might have become a knot in Su Jin’s heart.

He had thought that after H City fell, Chen Xiarong had died long ago, but today she had appeared.

It seemed, the knot in Su Jin’s heart finally had a chance to be untangled. So, seeing Chen Xiarong, why would he be… unhappy?

Lu Hao’s thoughts were interrupted by a sudden exclamation from inside the bus. It was just a few zombies suddenly rushing in front of the bus and getting hit.

Lu Hao frowned. Are these people still afraid of these creatures?

Su Jin in the lead bus also noticed this problem. As the lead bus, it encountered more zombies, but some people inside were so scared they wouldn’t even lift their heads, almost no one dared to look outside…

No wonder those people were completely wiped out yesterday. If they encountered danger, these people probably couldn’t even manage to save themselves.

Thinking of various regulations at the base, Su Jin didn’t comment further. Perhaps, once there, some people would change.

The passengers in the bus swallowed hard as they watched Su Jin, who looked unaffected. Was this young girl not scared at all?

Bang!

A black object hit the front windshield of the vehicle. Su Jin immediately became alert.

Was that… a bird?

Then a second, and a third, flew over. But unlike the first one hitting the windshield, these started pecking at the side windows with their beaks!

Su Jin finally saw clearly what they were. These were not ordinary birds; they were Zombie Birds!

“It seems those people haven’t given up yet!”

A zombie bird had already pecked a crack into one of the side windshields, and a man sitting beside it couldn’t help but scream out loud.

“Quiet! The noise you’re making only excites them more.”

Su Jin stood in the front and shouted loudly.

“But, but it’s about to break, I’m so scared.” The man was almost crying out of fear.

At that moment, the walkie-talkie on Su Jin started ringing.

She had taken out three walkie-talkies, giving one to Lu Hao and one to Shao Zian so that the vehicles could communicate with each other.

“Xiao Jin, how is it on your end? Have the zombie birds caught up from behind?” Lu Hao’s voice came through.

“Not many, but they’re tough to deal with,” Su Jin frowned and said. At this rate, the windows wouldn’t last long.

“Hmm, let’s stop, I’ll go handle it.”

“Do we need to do anything?” Shao Zian also asked.

“Cover me,” said Lu Hao.

The people around who heard Lu Hao speak all looked up at him in surprise.

Go handle it?

Zombie birds?

Is this guy crazy? Those things are flying in the sky, how is he planning to deal with them?

“Alright, I’ll join you.”

Su Jin hung up the walkie-talkie.

“Driver, stop the car,” Su Jin said to the vehicle’s driver.

What? Had he heard her wrong? Stopping the car at this time?

“Little sister, if we stop now, those birds will catch up,” the driver replied without turning his head.

“Yes exactly, why stop now instead of running?”

The other people also started agreeing.

“Young lady, even if you are brave, you can’t drag us all into this mess!”

“Driver, you absolutely mustn’t stop, or those birds will catch us,” a woman beside the driver said.

Su Jin was getting anxious. If the first vehicle didn’t stop, the others couldn’t either, and the number of zombie birds outside seemed to be increasing. A vehicle escorting survivors was already shooting at those birds.

But shooting them now would undoubtedly attract more zombies, and it might even draw all the zombies over, so the priority was to stop first.

“Do you know how many Crystal Cores your temporary base leader spent to hire the two of us to protect your safety?” Su Jin said loudly.

What?

The base leader had hired them just to protect their safety?

And spent Crystal Cores?

“How many?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

“6000 cores,”

Su Jin slightly parted her lips and uttered a figure.
