Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 705: Leaving the E City Base

"Yueer, it’s always better to see things through. Since everyone supports you so much, you should stay a little longer. I’ll be here to help you,"

Lian Zongren also said. He still had feelings for this place, and during the Zombie Tide, he had also encountered many old colleagues.

"Xiao Yue, you must listen to your dad,"

Mao Qiqi said with her head tilted.

There was no way around it. Although she didn’t want to part with Lian Jiyue, everyone had been together for such a long time. However, it would be inconvenient to take Lian Jiyue with them to Country Y, especially since Sister Xiao Jin was pregnant. It would be better to come back for him once they returned!

Seeing that everyone was persuading him, Lian Jiyue eventually compromised.

As Lian Zongren said, he would leave after this place was on the right track!

"You all... take care on your journey,"

Lian Jiyue told his family, the little girl’s smile sweet. Now, he didn’t know how long it would be until he saw her again...

"At the Han family side, you too must be careful," frёewebηovel.cѳm

Su Jin said to Lian Zongren and his son. She felt that the Han family would definitely not let things go easily, especially since Han Yizhou’s death would surely be something the grudge-holding Han family would seize upon.

"If you can’t avoid it, just go to the S City base. They can’t do anything about that place,"

Lu Hao also said, noting that only the two of them, Lian Jiyue and another, were here. If the Han family were to make big moves, he didn’t recommend that the two of them confront it head-on.

"I understand,"

Lian Jiyue nodded.

Su Jin, holding Lu Hao’s hand, walked on the streets of the E City base. Ever since the research institute had disappeared, the atmosphere on the streets had felt different.

"I really hope this place will continue to get better,"

Su Jin said.

"Yes, it surely will,"

Lu Hao looked at the base he once called home. It was hard to imagine how he had spent two years here alone, probably because he was driven by the determination to find Su Jin...

After exchanging all the Crystal Cores in the base for supplies at the busy Lian Jiyue’s, the family decided to set off that afternoon.

According to Mao Zhihang in the space, the people from Country Y had left S City base three days after they did, and even stopped at Heart Talk Convenience Store to buy a bunch of supplies before leaving.

So, those people should be ahead of them now. Given their current pace, they would probably be slower than the ones from Country Y, but they still decided not to stay in E City base to finish their mission sooner.

Since it was only their family on the road, Lu Hao simply drove an armored vehicle. Su Jin would stay in the space, and Nie Qing and Lu Guanhai planned to rest there as well, which was perfectly sufficient seating.

Lin Xiuyuan was still in the space, telling Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo about what they had seen in the E City research institute. Li Xiuying listened with a serious expression; she couldn’t understand why there would still be those using living people for experiments now.

"You did the right thing. Even in the former lawful society, such acts were illegal,"

Li Xiuying said.

"Right, Grandma? I initially didn’t have the heart to kill them. After all, people are so precious in the Apocalypse. But I think you’re right too. Those experimented on and those conducting the experiments, in a sense, can no longer be called human,"

Lin Xiuyuan became energized, having been hesitant before, but completely awakened by Li Xiuying’s words.

Even before the Apocalypse, the actions of those people were illegal and improper!

"You’ve finally come around,"

Su Jin said, sipping on a fruit tea. She could tell that Lin Xiuyuan seemed to disapprove of Lian Jiyue’s actions.

"Grandma woke me up, haha."

Lin Xiuyuan said.

"You, you’re too caught up as a participant. And the people at the base approve of Lian Jiyue as the Base Leader because he has the potential for it—he’s daring and decisive,"

Li Xiuying pointed at Lin Xiuyuan and spoke, believing that her grandson lacked these qualities, which might refine him in the days to come.

Su Jin couldn’t help but admire her grandmother even more, who, just by listening to what everyone said in the Space, could point out issues everyone else had overlooked.

Indeed, if one set aside family protection, Lian Jiyue truly was well-suited to be a Base Leader.

"I’m going out to see if there’s anything happening outside; they don’t come in to call us anymore when they encounter zombies,"

Lin Xiuyuan, in a good mood, stood up to say, having chatted with Li Xiuying for so long, it was time for him to get some physical activity.

"Hmm, I’ll go out too, to bring them something to eat,"

Su Jin couldn’t sit still either. After the Zombie Tide at Base E, she felt she was close to reaching Level Eight, but it was just a fleeting sensation, breaking through still seemed far off.

Outside, Lu Hao and others were indeed stopping to kill zombies; they were almost out of E City’s territory. The zombies here hadn’t been drawn away by the Zombie Tide, and the road was still terrifyingly congested.

"I just knew it,"

Lin Xiuyuan said and then jumped out of the car, while Su Jin began to use her Wood Element ability.

The zombies outside looked numerous; Mao Qiqi also switched to a long blade and began slaughtering.

Lu Hao was dealing with a Level Seven Metal Element Zombie. The zombie was very fast. Lu Hao’s flames had burned through its shield, but it quickly threw away the shield and jumped out of Lu Hao’s attack range.

Lu Hao drew the Tang Sword from his back and continued to attack the zombie!

Roar!

The Metal Element Zombie roared wildly, and metal spikes flew towards Lu Hao like raindrops!

The Tang Sword collided with the metal spikes, making pounding sounds, and Lu Hao, agile like a leopard, precisely dodged all the metal spike attacks.

Boom!

The Tang Sword released a Fire Dragon, which opened its giant mouth trying to devour the zombie. Although the Metal Element Zombie dodged the first attack of the Fire Dragon, the Fire Dragon relentlessly chased it. Left with no choice, the Metal Element Zombie fully metalized its body to meet the Fire Dragon’s blaze.

The lengthy Fire Dragon grazed the spot where the Metal Element Zombie stood for two seconds, and after the Fire Dragon disappeared, all that remained where the Metal Element Zombie had been was a few pieces of burning metal...

After dealing with that Level Seven Metal Element Zombie, another Level Seven Earth Element Zombie belligerently rushed towards Lu Hao, and at this point, the family was all fighting against high-level Mutated Zombies.

Su Jin frowned, "Why are there so many high-level Mutated Zombies here?"

However, she steadied her spirit and used her Wood Element ability to help clear the Ordinary Zombies and low-level Mutated Zombies surrounding her family.

Lu Guanhai and Nie Qing also came out of the Space, not having been called. But seeing that Su Jin had gone out for a while and not returned, they guessed that something might have happened outside.

"So many zombies, why didn’t you call us?"

Lu Guanhai said and then jumped down with Nie Qing.
