Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Downstairs, they didn’t see Nie Qing and Lu Guanhai anywhere.

Su Jin also guessed that the two must be staying in the Space; in the past few days, indeed, there was nothing for the family members to do, so since Lin Xiuyuan and Qiqi were going along, they might as well go!

What Su Jin didn’t expect was that by dinner time, when everyone heard that Lin Xiuyuan and Mao Qiqi would join them in protecting Survivors back to base, they all raised their hands wanting to go.

Especially Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi, as if not taking them would be like abandoning them.

Su Jin couldn’t stand Liao Yifan’s woeful eyes and reluctantly agreed at first; if this was the case, she still had to notify Liang Jiuhui later on, or else bringing so many family members and teammates with her might scare the Refuge.

Guo Yang was somewhat sad, never expecting that everyone would favor killing Zombies over doing business, particularly when seeing the eager look in Liao Yifan’s eyes, he couldn’t stop her anymore, so he let her go out to exercise her limbs. Even if someone came to make trouble at the store, he could handle it alone.

These days, even though Guo Yang had been busy with the store’s business, he had never stopped training his Special Ability.

Especially his Spatial Segmentation had become quite accurate, and on top of that, Lu Hao and Su Jin had brought back a lot of porcupine quills from North Mountain last time; those quills, though not quite pleasing in appearance and always smelling faintly of animal fur, were no less effective than Iron Needles.

Lu Hao had said that these quills were poisonous, and advised that unless necessary, it was best not to use them.

Guo Yang was very pleased to accept these quills, wanting to test their effect, but without a proper target to attack, he had to give up the idea.

After dinner, everyone helped to tidy up the dishes and utensils, while Su Jin prepared to visit Liang Jiuhui.

“I’ll go with you,” Lu Hao said.

This late, how could he let Su Jin go out alone? Besides, he had some findings from the past couple of days to share with Liang Jiuhui.

Su Jin nodded, grabbed her backpack, and set out hand in hand with Lu Hao.

When the two arrived at the administrative building, Liang Jiuhui indeed hadn’t left work yet. He was slightly surprised to see them.

“What? Your whole family is going?”

Liang Jiuhui truly hadn’t anticipated this, but he had only allocated the Crystal Cores for two people.

“And two other teammates, they don’t want money, don’t worry,” Su Jin said with a smile.

Liang Jiuhui swore he wasn’t being stingy with the Crystal Cores, it’s just that the only people who would consider rushing to the front lines at times like these are Su Jin and Lu Hao’s family, right?

“Then I’ll arrange another vehicle tomorrow,”

Liang Jiuhui agreed.

“No need, we’ll drive our own car; it’s better than having the driver run back and forth,”

Su Jin turned down Liang Jiuhui’s kind offer, but…

“Alright, alright, it’s all yours,”

Liang Jiuhui laughed, finding that Su Jin, unexpectedly, was money-minded, having just requested that the Crystal Cores from killing Zombies on the way also belonged to their family. However, this was fair, as if her family and teammates all went, the Refuge could save even more people.

“Even if you hadn’t come today, I was planning to find you tomorrow,” Liang Jiuhui said with a wry smile.

“The Refuge won’t be able to finish relocating people by tomorrow, right?” Lu Hao asked.

“Yes, with the current numbers, it should take two more days after tomorrow to complete,” Liang Jiuhui said, and this was a conservative estimate.

“I suggest completing the relocation within two days,” Lu Hao said.

“Why?”

Could it be…

Liang Jiuhui looked at Lu Hao in surprise.

“The refuge is no longer safe, we shouldn’t delay anymore, we should relocate more people at once,”

Lu Hao thought of the zombie rats from this morning. If a single corpse could attract so many zombie rats, then the living people in the refuge would inevitably draw other things there.

Su Jin also strongly agreed. She could tell that both Liang Wei and Li Haochu were already at their limits over there. If something else happened, she wasn’t sure whether those two could hold on.

Liang Jiuhui nodded, then took out two bags of crystal cores from the drawer and said, “Here are 5,000 crystal cores. We’ll be troubling you for the next two days.”

Su Jin felt somewhat embarrassed to accept them. These past few days, they were on track to make over ten thousand crystal cores, and Liang Jiuhui had also promised that the crystal cores they acquired on the road in the next two days would be theirs. But thinking about that bottomless space, Su Jin hesitated for a moment before accepting them.

After all, she felt they were worth the price.

Seeing that neither Su Jin nor Lu Hao refused, Liang Jiuhui appreciated them even more.

They were sincere and unpretentious, had strong abilities, and most importantly, they had saved his family’s lives. Having such people at the base made him feel like he had garnered blessings from his past life.

At that moment, Lu Hao took out several photos from his pocket and threw them onto the table.

Photos?

In this day and age, there were still photos?

Liang Jiuhui picked them up with suspicion and glanced at them. He couldn’t help but stand up upon seeing the first photo. The more he looked at them, the more shocked he became.

What is this…

“These are what attracted the zombie birds,”

Lu Hao raised an eyebrow and said. After he and Su Jin had finished off the zombie birds, they didn’t immediately return to the car, but instead took a loop around the area. Su Jin had taken out a camera from her backpack and photographed these scenes.

The photos showed several desiccated corpses hanging from trees. The corpses were covered with zombie bird feathers because they had been mostly eaten by the zombie birds. A few corpses wouldn’t have explained much, but these corpses were wearing the uniforms of the staff from the refuge!

Su Jin and the others had seen these uniforms when they stayed in the refuge, worn by the people responsible for distributing meals.

And these corpses were hanging along the route that the survivors had to take during relocation. They were hung in trees to prevent zombies from finding and eating them. This also explained why some zombies had run out of those woods while they were fighting the zombie birds; those zombies must have been attracted by the corpses hanging from the trees.

“It seems this was indeed orchestrated by people,”

Liang Jiuhui held his forehead with both hands. He was very angry. Although they had suspected human involvement, when these evidences were laid out in front of him, he was still so furious he couldn’t control himself. However, in front of these two, he had to try his best to restrain himself.

Lu Hao nodded and pointed at the photos as he continued, “This also indicates another issue,”

“People working for that guy have infiltrated the refuge,” said Liang Jiuhui.

“Yes, but I think you could actually use this to your advantage,”

Lu Hao’s words hinted just enough, trusting that Liang Jiuhui would understand his meaning.

That night, after seeing off Su Jin and Lu Hao, the light in Liang Jiuhui’s office stayed on until the late hours before finally turning off…
