Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Sheng Jing hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of the sea of fire she had just witnessed when the sound Mao Qiqi mentioned captured her attention even more.

Sound?

“I only heard the sound of the flames burning, no other sounds,” Sheng Jing answered, wondering if Mao Qiqi could hear something else.

“Oh, maybe after Sister Sheng upgrades, you’ll be able to hear it too, the sound made by mutated plants when they die—it’s so unpleasant,”

Mao Qiqi said, frowning.

Su Jin also heard their conversation and touched Mao Qiqi’s head, suggesting, “Qiqi, if you find the sound unpleasant, you can try to see if you can block it out.”

...

Mao Qiqi nodded, but it was a pity that the sound in her mind stopped at that moment—the mutated plant must have been burned to death. It looked like she would have to try next time.

Liang Jiuhui looked at Lu Hao in amazement. Could he really release his special ability over such a large area at once? The width of this staircase alone looked to be at least seven or eight meters!

“Won’t this consume a lot of your special ability?” Liang Jiuhui couldn’t help but ask.

Lu Hao shook his head, then placed his hand on the ground again, and the flames on the staircase that hadn’t yet burned out instantly surged towards him!

“Just take back what hasn’t been used up; it’s more energy-efficient this way,”

Lu Hao answered, after retracting the remaining special ability with a wave of his hand.

“…”

What does that mean? Special abilities can be taken back after being released?

“Can you all do this?” Liang Jiuhui asked Su Jin and the others.

Seeing them all shaking their heads, Liang Jiuhui felt a bit more balanced. Otherwise, this family would be too incredible.

However, the most important thing at the moment was still to collect the supplies from the hospital as soon as possible.

“The glass doors of this hospital are quite sturdy,”

Lin Cheng couldn’t help but go up and touch them as if he couldn’t see the horrifying zombie faces pressed against the glass behind the doors.

“The tempered glass made by our Huaxia is definitely top-notch,”

the driver Xiao Liu said. He remembered a video he had seen on the internet where several foreigners tried to test the durability of Huaxia’s tempered glass by striking it, and they all ended up completely in awe, including the famous glass bridges of the past two years, all of which were made in the great Huaxia.

Xiao Liu spoke eloquently, and everyone couldn’t help but feel a surge of national pride; Lin Xiuyuan was even excited, saying he had seen that video too.

“Maybe… we should kill the zombies first?”

Su Jin really didn’t want to interrupt everyone’s sudden burst of national pride, but now didn’t seem like the time for that, did it?

“Right, right, business comes first,”

Lin Cheng also snapped back to reality and quickly gave way for the Metal Element Ability User to unlock the glass door with his ability.

“It seems someone intentionally locked both halls’ doors from the outside,” Liang Jiuhui remarked.

“Yeah, the situation here must have been pretty severe at that time, so someone tried to stop the virus from spreading,”

Lu Hao nodded, pitying that the virus was a global issue.

After the glass door lock “click” was opened, the zombies leaning on it fell to the ground due to the sudden lack of support, and the other zombies behind them, indifferent to the plight of their fellows, swarmed over, stepping on the bodies of those in front.

“There are also a lot of zombies that ran down from the elevator upstairs!”

As Sheng Jing spoke, she swung her long sword, forcefully slicing through the zombies around her.

“There are too many zombies. You could hit one with your eyes closed.”

Nie Qing floated again in mid-air, sending several white Wind Blades quickly towards the zombies deep inside. He found that because there were so many zombies, even his indiscriminate attacks always hit their mark.

To save time, Su Jin also took out the Venus Flytrap. The Venus Flytrap’s combat power now equaled that of an adult human, and it was consuming zombies faster and faster. Liang Jiuhui looked at the Venus Flytrap, which had obviously grown a lot since last time, and thought to himself, so these things could grow bigger, huh?

Apart from the Venus Flytrap, Liang Jiuhui realized that Liao Yifan’s combat power within Su Jin’s team was also quite astonishing. Power Element Ability Users were often inadvertently overlooked by him. But after seeing Liao Yifan that day, he felt the combat power of this category of Ability Users was not inferior to other categories.

He used to only know that Su Jin and Lu Hao were very powerful, but he didn’t expect their family and teammates to all be experts in their respective elements.

Su Jin didn’t know how many zombies they killed, but during the fight, no one rested or complained. Only when the entire second floor’s hall was so filled that there was no place left to step, did everyone realize, had they really killed all those zombies?

The driver Xiao Liu, in addition to the sweat dripping from his forehead, also felt a cold sweat all over his body. He had almost been scratched by a zombie. Luckily, he wore a thick denim jacket, or else he might have had to say goodbye to these lovely people today…

“The pharmacy is right there!”

Xu Shi pointed excitedly to an entrance behind the elevator.

The two entrances from the third floor to the second floor were already blocked by the group. In fact, most of the hospital’s zombies were concentrated in the second floor’s hall that they just cleared. Although there were zombies on every floor upstairs, there were not many, and most were locked in rooms, as Mao Qiqi had said.

The second floor’s pharmacy was very large, several times larger than the one on the first floor. At the pharmacy’s cash register, several zombies in uniforms excitedly squeezed their heads out from beneath the window, all decapitated by Xue Wanyi’s Wind Blades in one stroke.

Guan Hong gave Xue Wanyi a thumbs-up.

After seeing the second floor’s pharmacy, Su Jin suggested they split into two groups to save time. A few, including Liang Jiuhui, would gather supplies below while the rest went upstairs to clear out the zombies.

After all, the pharmacy on the second floor was vast, with several long rows of the supplement area behind the medicine window. Further back was even a Level Two medicine storage!

She thought that even though Song Sibo was quick at gathering items, it would still take a while, and now they had two Mental Element Ability Users. If something happened upstairs or downstairs, they could come to support immediately.

Liang Jiuhui and the others also agreed. Having twenty or thirty people stay here did indeed seem like a waste of time.

So after Mao Zhihang opened the entrance to the third floor, a group of people headed upstairs.

The hospital’s stairwell was very dark, but since it was just their own people, Su Jin took out several lighting lamps from her Space and handed them to everyone.

“Su Jin, can we find a place to rest for a while? I’m so hungry right now…”

Lin Xiuyuan said in a whiny voice. Although Liang Jiuhui always provided enough Crystal Cores, they didn’t come with meals! Now it was past three in the afternoon, and they hadn’t eaten lunch yet. Lin Xiuyuan, who always ate on time, had long felt his stomach growling.

It wasn’t just Lin Xiuyuan—the stomachs of others also started rumbling, making a lively sound in the quiet staircase.

“…”

Influenced by this noise, Su Jin felt she might also be hungry, so she decided to find an unoccupied place for everyone to rest and replenish their energy.

“Qiqi, do you know a safe place where we can rest?” Su Jin asked.

“Yes, there’s a large room at the end of the third floor, and there’s only one zombie inside,” Mao Qiqi replied.

“Great, let’s go, let’s go!” Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t wait and hurried towards the direction Mao Qiqi indicated.
