Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 384 - : Who Gave You the Courage?

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Who Gave You the Courage?

Ren Yingjie followed the car in front, and since it had been so long since they had been out, everyone was seriously observing the scenery outside. The hellish landscapes of humanity made the group feel stifled, and they unknowingly struck up a conversation.

“Hey, you guys should stop just chatting, haven’t you noticed that our route is getting more and more bizarre?”

Ren Yingjie, who was driving, said.

There were still some pre-apocalypse road signs along the road at intervals. He had been confidently following the car ahead, but when he had just seen a fleeting road sign, he wondered if he had misread it.

Why did that road sign just now show that they were still 50 kilometers away from F province? Was he seeing things?

With Ren Yingjie’s reminder, the others also started to pay attention to the road signs outside.

F province… that didn’t seem to be in the same direction as S city…

After communicating with the car in front using walkie-talkies, the leading car gradually came to a stop.

Su Jin couldn’t help feeling that she had been careless.

Their trip had begun with Lu Hao driving half the distance, but they hadn’t taken a wrong turn, so she hadn’t been too worried.

Moreover, just now, everyone in the car had been focused on Lian Jiyue, who was in the back, and hadn’t paid attention to the route outside.

That was sloppy.

She hadn’t expected Lu Hao to go off course again…

“Hahaha, it’s okay, disciple, we can just see more of the scenery,” Nie Qing said, patting Lu Hao on the shoulder to console him.

“I’m sorry, Xiao Jin,” he had taken the wrong turn again.

Su Jin looked at Lu Hao, who was bowing his head in apology to her, and couldn’t help but ruffle his hair, feeling that at this moment, he resembled an apologetic golden retriever.

“We probably haven’t deviated too much, we might as well stop here to take a break,” Su Jin said.

Their mission was nearly complete, and they weren’t in a rush to return to the base. Besides, if Lian Jiyue would wake up and still wanted to go back to E city, it wouldn’t harm to stay longer in this area.

Although they weren’t in a hurry to return to S city’s base, the survivors in S city were eagerly waiting for them to come back.

“When will our base’s Su Jin and the others come back? I hope they haven’t been poached by other bases.”

“I heard they went on a mission. Their families and team are still in the base.”

“That’s good. When they come back, they can let that arrogant Wood Element woman see our base’s Wood Element.”

“Exactly, talking about being the strongest Wood Element, she’s not afraid of biting her tongue with such claims, huh!”

…

At the S city base, such gossiping crowds were everywhere.

It wasn’t that these people loved to gossip behind others’ backs; rather, a Wood Element woman had been too arrogant in the S city base. She not only insulted their canteen food as pig slop meant for pigs, but also brazenly sped her car in the base, killing someone. These two incidents had already provoked the ire of everyone in the base.

However, the family of the person who had been killed was willing to settle, and it was said that they had received a large sum of Crystal Cores. Even the family blamed their deceased relative, leaving Ye Rongxin with no way to arrest the woman.

The S city base had always been harmonious and stable, but now everyone felt as if a rat had invaded, causing unrest every day.

At this moment, Han Jiajia drove her car into Brother Banzi’s repair shop, stating that her sports car needed maintenance.

“I’m sorry, miss, but I can’t fix this car,”

Brother Banzi said after only a glance.

“What do you mean? So you’re saying your base is ganging up to bully a foreigner like me?”

Han Jiajia was furious. She was absolutely unwilling to buy anything from the Heart Talk Convenience Store, and now she couldn’t even get her car repaired here; she just couldn’t swallow her anger.

“This is a luxury car, and we can’t find the parts for it right now. Even if we patch it up for you, putting a patch of a different color on top won’t look good, right?”

Brother Banzi continued to work on another car as he spoke.

“Didn’t everyone say that your car repair shop has good skills? I think you’re deliberately not fixing my car! You believe I won’t smash this place?”

After Han Jiajia finished speaking, a thin vine appeared in her hand, and she lashed it towards the side of Ban Xiaobo’s face as he was repairing a car!

Ban Xiaobo shook his head, tossed a Wind Blade, and the vine was instantly chopped into several pieces that fell to the ground.

A few onlookers burst into laughter. Is this the so-called strongest Wood Element?

Stop joking, will you?

Han Jiajia hadn’t expected that even a car mechanic in this base would be a Special Ability User.

Seeing Ban Xiaobo attacked, Gao Lei and the others inside the shop all stood behind him, giving Han Jiajia unfriendly looks.

Realizing she was alone today and no match for them, Han Jiajia threw out some fierce words and then drove off in her flashy yellow sports car.

“Tch, boring!”

Ban Xiaobo rolled his eyes and said. She actually said she’d come to tear down their shop—what’s wrong with her?

“I think we better be careful,” Ren Feipeng said, adjusting his glasses.

“Careful of what? They also wanted to tear down the Heart Talk Store back then, and nothing came of it. This is our base’s turf!”

Gao Lei declared, standing on the ground they were on. Besides, they weren’t pushovers.

These past few days, they would often go out together on missions and also collect some cars to bring back. Their Special Abilities had improved as well, especially Rong Yuan, who was now a Level Three Metal Element.

“I’ll stay here and watch the shop tonight,”

Rong Yuan suggested.

“How could that be okay? Besides, what is there to tear apart here? The tools are in the Space, and there are just two empty rooms,”

Xu Chao pointed out, gesturing inside.

“…the cars,” Rong Yuan reminded.

The only things that could be dismantled or smashed here were the cars they had brought back from the outside.

So, when they closed up in the afternoon, Xu Chao took special care to put the better cars into the Space, leaving behind only four or five ordinary ones. Looking at the empty shop, they walked back to the residential area, satisfied…

Indeed, the next day, people from the S City base discovered the only car repair shop’s door had been smashed in, revealing several cars inside that were wrecked beyond recognition.

Seeing the scene, although they had stored the important things away, Ban Xiaobo and his crew couldn’t help but be angry.

“I’m so angry, so angry!”

Tian Liao said as they opened the door together with Xu Chao.

“We can’t help it, we have no evidence,”

Xu Chao said, disheartened. Without evidence, it was impossible to retaliate.

“Do we need evidence? Rong Yuan and I will step out for a bit this afternoon,”

Ban Xiaobo said with a cold smirk.

“Alright, Brother Banzi,”

Rong Yuan agreed without hesitation, feeling inexplicably excited. He had wanted to take action since the previous afternoon but didn’t have the opportunity. Li Haochu had taught him never to take things lying down, as it would only encourage others to push you further.

So, when Han Jiajia and her group returned to their residence from the administrative building in the afternoon, they found their courtyard filled with cars destroyed by a Metal Element Ability. Her beloved yellow sports car was smashed so badly she couldn’t even recognize it.

“Brother! They’re bullying me again!”

Han Jiajia said, clinging to Han Jin’s arm and sounding aggrieved.

Han Jin was also angry as he looked at the two high-performance cars they drove here in—just who in the S City base had the guts to do this?
