Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Having bid farewell to Si Tian and Zhong Ruyue, Su Jin and her companions made their way down the mountain. They truly hadn’t expected that there would still be people living deep in the mountainous forest, and it seemed that their lives weren’t so bad.

If the plants hadn’t mutated later on, it would have to be said that the place was indeed very suitable for the two of them to live in.

A hermit life without the threat of zombies…

In fact, Su Jin had also thought about living like that before, but when she considered the terrifying mutated plants in the later stages of the apocalypse, she gave up on the idea. Moreover, being secluded in the mountains wouldn’t allow her to constantly collect Zombie Crystal Nuclei to enhance her special ability.

“That Si Tian is actually quite impressive, he even dared to eat live insects in front of a national audience at that time,” Lin Xiuyuan said while walking with the rest of the group.

“Ew…” Huang Yunxiang felt disgusted again.

No wonder they dare to live here, but isn’t it nice to live in a base?

“Sigh, I don’t want to live in seclusion anymore. It’s too boring,”

Nie Qing said with both hands behind his head. He was lucky to have found his destined one, otherwise he would still be spending his days in anxiety on Shitou Mountain. More importantly, he wouldn’t have as many TV shows to watch, and besides, being with this family, he was actually very happy every day…

“You’re tired of the quiet, while others get tired of the bustling life,” Lu Guanhai joined in.

But he felt the same way; ever since Lu Hao’s birth mother had died, hadn’t he too been living his life in a daze? Although he had tried to remarry, he found it was still better to be alone. Thankfully, his son and daughter-in-law had not forgotten their old father. These days, living with these people, he had forgotten what loneliness felt like.

Thankfully, his son had married Su Jin, thank goodness for meeting these people.

…

After descending from the mountain top, the path gradually became more difficult to traverse. The journey down the mountain was much harder than the ascent, or it could be said that there wasn’t any path for them to follow at all.

In the forest, aside from the tall trees, the ground was covered with small shrubs everywhere, and some plants were even full of thorns. Luckily, they were all dressed in sturdy long pants and long sleeves, or otherwise, they would be covered in scratches by now.

“Xiao Jin, are you still going to look for that Sedum?” Su Xiangzhe asked as he cut through the plants in front of him with a piece of watermelon knife.

“If we don’t stumble upon it, then there’s no need to go out of our way to search for it,”

Su Jin thought of the palm-sized plant. She just wanted to try and find if there were any Man-eating Flowers. The utility of Sedum was not even as great as her Venus Flytrap, so there was no need to go through the effort to search for it. Plus, Si Tian had already given her a small one, and if there really was a need for it, just one piece in her possession would allow her to cultivate a whole patch.

“This path down the mountain is so tough to navigate,”

Lin Xiuyuan said with Mao Qiqi on his back, carefully watching his step and pushing aside branches and leaves in front of him. When they were brought up by those two just a while ago, he didn’t find the journey so difficult. Could this be the notorious difficulty of descending a mountain compared to ascending?

Gradually, they seemed to hear the sound of the stream flowing. Su Jin remembered what Si Tian had said—there was a stream nearby that flowed down the mountain, but the area was often frequented by Mutated Beasts.

However, the very places where Mutated Beasts appeared were also the places they were looking for, so the group followed the sound of flowing water.

The trees on North Mountain had seen many years, almost each one towering into the sky. The closer they got to the stream, the taller the trees became; probably because the soil was moist here. Some trees were as wide as a wall, and the group dared not split up, as it was easy to lose their way.

Finally, after passing a steep slope, they found the stream. Its water was crystal clear and cool to the touch. Lifting her head, Su Jin saw two elks drinking by the stream on the opposite bank. The elks ran into the jungle behind them after seeing the people.

It seems that animals do appear in this area.

“Let’s set up the formation here and wait,”

Su Xiangzhe also suggested, after they had walked that stretch of road down from the mountain. Not even ordinary animals had been encountered, let alone Mutated Beasts. It would be more convenient to set up a formation. Ｒá₦Ȏ𐌱Ɛ𐌔

Seeing no objections from the others, Nie Qing and Lu Hao started to set up spirit gathering trapping formations on the open ground on both sides of the stream.

This morning, two spirit gathering trapping formations attracted three to four hundred Mutated Beasts into them, after eating lunch in the Space, the group quickly dealt with them.

Su Jin did not immediately enter the Space to take out the Beast Cores that they had obtained today, instead she planned to see if they could make it down the mountain today, and if there was still time, maybe they could hurry back to the base by the end of the day.

The forest in the afternoon was unusually quiet, occasionally a few birds fluttered past overhead, and the scene before them seemed to have nothing special beyond trees and bushes.

Lu Hao smelled a strange fragrance, and the Local Tyrant Gold, which had been chirping nonstop earlier, quieted down and actually fell asleep on his shoulder.

Lu Hao found it amusing and tried to wake it up, so it wouldn’t fall without being noticed, but no matter how he poked, Local Tyrant Gold seemed to have no intention of waking up. He was just about to talk to Su Jin about this when he discovered that he was the only one left around.

What’s going on?

Where is everyone?

Lu Hao looked around in surprise but did not find a trace of the others. Could it be that he was lost again?

A sense of unease began to spread in his heart, had the thing he feared the most happened? Had he lost Su Jin again?

No! He had to find Su Jin immediately.

Right! The Space!

Could it be that everyone had gone into the Space to wait for him after they noticed he was gone, and even if they hadn’t, he could still talk to his grandparents inside about the current situation, so they wouldn’t worry about him.

But he found that no matter how he tried, he couldn’t enter the Space!

The Space wasn’t working either?

“Lu Hao! You are here, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Just then, Su Jin suddenly walked out from behind a tree and said.

It was Su Jin! Lu Hao looked at Su Jin who was walking towards him.

Su Jin affectionately walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist, saying, “I’ve missed you so much, come home with me.”

Lu Hao paused for a moment, then said, “Alright, let’s go back together.”

Su Jin’s eyes immediately curved into crescents, she happily took Lu Hao’s arm and walked on, her soft chest rubbing against Lu Hao’s arm intentionally or unintentionally…

The two didn’t walk very far when Su Jin suddenly stopped in front of a wooden house.

“Lu Hao, how do you like this place? Come in with me and take a look!” Su Jin seemed very happy.

“Okay.”

Lu Hao replied without any hesitation, which made Su Jin even happier.

But just as Su Jin was about to open the door, she suddenly felt a searing pain at her back, turning around in disbelief, she saw that a fire had already kindled in Lu Hao’s hand, and he was launching a second attack at her!

Su Jin dodged Lu Hao’s attack, and the fireball landed on the wooden house which, upon contact with fire, turned into a gigantic tree with a large hollow at its base!

The Su Jin from just a moment ago had vanished without a trace, and Lu Hao noticed a yellow tail disappearing into the hollow in front of him.

Without hesitation, he formed an even larger Fireball and hurled it into the hollow!
