Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 94: Chapter Ninety-Four: Morning Exercise

That night, the rain poured all through the night.

Listening to the pitter-patter of the rain outside, everyone actually slept more soundly.

Su Jin pretended to sleep in the car, but in fact, she went to rest in her Space. Once she felt refreshed, she came out.

Seeing Lu Hao, who had not yet gone to bed, Su Jin, not wanting their conversation to disturb everyone, called him into the car.

“Wasn’t it Lin Xiuyuan on watch for the night?”

Su Jin remembered that before she entered her Space, Lin Xiuyuan had volunteered to take the first half of the night’s watch.

“Yeah, he fell asleep while on watch, and I didn’t feel at ease,”

Lu Hao said, without any hint of complaint. Indeed, he was really worried about letting Lin Xiuyuan watch alone, so he had been paying attention the whole time. It turned out the guy actually fell asleep while on watch.

“Why don’t you go and sleep for a bit? I’m enough to keep watch here,” Su Jin offered.

“No need, I’ll keep you company,”

Lu Hao didn’t feel sleepy. Being with Su Jin, quietly, just the two of them, made him feel even more awake.

…

Su Jin began to feel a bit awkward. The two of them were in a confined space, and everyone else was sleeping outside, so she could only find random topics to chat intermittently with Lu Hao.

“Aren’t you curious why I don’t let everyone get wet in the rain?” Su Jin leaned on Lu Hao’s shoulder and said.

“The rain, it’s not clean?”

Lu Hao recalled the perfunctory words Su Jin had said to Shi Jin. Although they were dismissive, he felt there was some truth to them.

“Yes, I can’t remember exactly when it was or which rainfall it was, but after that rain, the number of zombies increased a lot. Moreover, some of the normal people who got rained on turned into zombies or Special Ability Users, but only a very few turned into Special Ability Users,”

Struggling to remember, Su Jin continued, “After that rain, the ranks of the Mutated Zombies also increased, and Mutated Plants started to appear more frequently.”

She wasn’t certain about which particular rainfall it was, so she could only make sure everyone avoided getting wet before then.

Hearing Su Jin sigh softly, Lu Hao embraced her with his arm, saying, “Don’t be scared, we’ll always be together,”

The despondency Su Jin felt while reminiscing was instantly pulled back by Lu Hao’s deep voice. Yes, she was with her family, her lover, her teammates. As long as they were together, she wasn’t afraid of anything.

Su Jin kissed Lu Hao’s cheek and smiled, saying “Thank you.”

…

Early the next morning, Mao Qiqi was the first to wake up because she sensed some zombies slowly moving in their direction. However, she didn’t feel any danger, as there were not many zombies around, and none were high-level.

Upon learning of Mao Qiqi’s information, those who needed to wash their faces did so, and those who needed to brush their teeth did that without any panic because Qiqi said there weren’t many zombies, and there were no High-Level Zombies.

Huang Yunxiang and Lin Tianzhen got several buckets of Special Ability Water ready for everyone to wash up first thing in the morning.

After everyone freshened up, they felt refreshed and revived while eating the hot porridge and buns served from Su Jin’s Space.

“Eat up, we have morning training later,” Yin Chengtian called out to Shi Jin.

Morning training?

The term seemed quite fitting, so almost everyone stuffed themselves full.

After all, the boss Su Jin said, the buns were all-you-can-eat.

After breakfast, Su Jin and Guo Yang took some things into the Space, then everyone heard banging sounds coming from the rolling door.

It seemed the time had come!

The rain Su Jin mentioned yesterday must have enhanced the zombies’ sense of smell!

“Qiqi, how many?” Liao Yifan asked.

“Around thirty, with some more heading this way,” Mao Qiqi responded after observing for a while.

“Understood,”

Liao Yifan said with a smile as he rolled up his sleeves, his eyes turning fierce in an instant.

The others also picked up their weapons. Watching Mao Qiqi, who was ready to rush forward at any moment, breaking apart her Folding Knife, Su Jin couldn’t help asking, “Qiqi?”

“I want to join the morning training,” Mao Qiqi said firmly.

Hey! Mao Qiqi’s words amused everyone. Well, it’s just “morning training,” after all. They wouldn’t let her get hurt.

Liao Yifan gave Qiqi a thumbs-up. His new disciple really seemed promising.

Lin Tianzhen and Mao Zhihang looked helplessly at their daughter. As parents, they knew how much their daughter wanted to join the combat. Although they were relieved that their daughter wasn’t scared by the Apocalypse, the eager look on her face at the moment made them feel something wasn’t quite right…

The sound of the rolling door being lifted interrupted their thoughts. The zombies outside scrambled to crawl in as soon as a small gap appeared under the door.

“Have you noticed these zombies seem more excited than usual?”

Lin Xiuyuan frowned and said. The zombies, although they also craved living flesh, always seemed dead and inert, but now there seemed to be a difference.

Nie Qing also looked grave because he could see the black aura on the zombies growing denser.

“Yesterday’s rain,” Lu Hao replied.

Lin Xiuyuan nodded in understanding, and the others, who also noticed the difference in the zombies, didn’t dare to slack and started fighting back-to-back.

Su Jin had now begun to practice her Special Ability deliberately. She turned the vine tips into spike-like forms. Although they only seemed like green branches, they could easily penetrate the zombies’ skulls and even directly extract their Crystal Cores!
