Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

The saying "there's no time like the present" fits today perfectly. After deciding on Liao Yifan and Guo Yang's wedding, the Heart Talk Team started hustling with the preparations.

Of course, the wedding guests were mostly familiar faces from the base, since Liao Yifan didn't want anything extravagant. So Su Jin invited everyone under the guise of a dinner party.

It wasn't until Ban Xiaobo and his group arrived that they realized it was actually Guo Yang and Liao Yifan's wedding today.

"Seriously? You guys didn't tell us! We didn't prepare anything!!"

Ban Xiaobo shouted that Guo Yang was not being a true friend. Getting married is a big deal, yet everyone in the Heart Talk Team said it was just a dinner.

"Hahaha, there's no need for you all to prepare anything. Today is just about having you here to help witness this moment, and I'm already extremely grateful."

Wearing a name-brand suit that fit him perfectly, Guo Yang, who never skipped workouts, looked tall and elegant, only second in height to Lu Hao.

Liao Yifan blushed when she saw the formally dressed Guo Yang. Su Jin teased her for a long time, but the blush only made the beautifully dressed Liao Yifan look even more stunning today.

"So envious! Are you just trying to make us single folks feel worse?"

Gao Lei lamented. He envied Guo Yang so much—holding the most famous Heart Talk Store in one hand and a beautiful bride in the other—it felt like the pinnacle of life!

"Keep it up."

Carrying a kid in each arm, Lu Hao said as he passed by the single folks.

"..."

"Unbelievable."

Xu Chao leaned weakly against Gao Lei. Were they here to endure such a blow today?

However, soon after, they felt a sense of balance with the others arriving, even Liang Jiuhui and Liang Jiuqing were on the list of invitees.

"See, even our Base Leader is single. That's the trend in the Apocalypse."

Ren Feipeng quietly comforted some of his good friends.

Guo Yang didn't expect Liang Jiuhui to come personally, presumably invited by Su Jin and the others.

This high-profile witness arrived with no air of superiority, chatting and laughing with everyone. Even Zhang Chuyang's group, who were initially intimidated, gradually relaxed and became less restrained.

"Everyone, feel free to eat! Today is a rare festive day for our Heart Talk Team, and there's plenty of food to go around!"

Su Jin and the family cheerfully hosted everyone, putting great effort into today's spread so that no one could tell anything strange about the food.

It wasn't until Lin Xiuyuan, dressed up himself, started to host the wedding that Kou Ning was still devouring the food. Su Jin had told him he could indulge without any charge today.

Watching Lin Xiuyuan gracefully and humorously host Guo Yang and Liao Yifan's simple yet warm wedding, Liang Jiuhui couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Next time, when it's Jiuqing's wedding, we could also have Lin Xiuyuan help out. The kid really knows how to talk,"

Liang Jiuhui said.

"Bro, stop teasing me,"

Liang Jiuqing pinched Liang Jiuhui's arm, talking as if they were here to learn the ropes today.

Typically, weddings in Huaxia require the presence of elders from both the bride and groom's side. Due to Liao Yifan and Guo Yang's special circumstances, Lin Tianhui and Su Xiangzhe, as well as Lin Cheng and Huang Yunxiang, took on those roles.

"Guo Yang, you must take care of our Yifan in the future. Don't bully her. Even though the situation outside is unique, as her husband, you need to protect your wife. Since you're married, the two of you are meant to be together for a lifetime,"

Lin Tianhui said earnestly, handing Liao Yifan's hand to Guo Yang.

For some reason, as she heard Lin Tianhui's words, Liao Yifan suddenly felt like crying. Orphaned from a young age, now having Lin Tianhui hold her hand and pass it to Guo Yang, she felt as if she were being entrusted to her husband by her family.

Fanfan, it's not like the pre-apocalypse days now. We can't get a marriage certificate, but we still need to have the ceremony. Life's only about a few big events. I won't let you miss out on our wedding.

When she didn't want to trouble others with a wedding, that's what Guo Yang told her.

Her first major ceremony in life truly made her feel a lot.

Wrapped in warmth, in front of her was Guo Yang's tender gaze, accompanied by applause and blessings from Huang Yunxiang and the whole family. It all moved her deeply.

She even felt that her life was now complete, with no more regrets.

"Wishing the newlyweds a happy marriage and lots of children!"

Anna and Zhang Xiaoai exclaimed happily together.

"Congratulations!"

Kou Ning shouted, his hands full with two giant drumsticks.

Everyone joined in with cheers and warm wishes, making the simple wedding extraordinarily lively.

"Su Jin, I heard that you're planning to leave the base for a while?"

Liang Jiuqing couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, that's right,"

Su Jin replied truthfully.

"I'm really envious that you can travel around. What's the mission this time?"

Liang Jiuqing thought perhaps the Heart Talk Team had taken on another task from a different base.

"This time... it's not a mission. It's a task we've set for ourselves,"

Su Jin swirled her wine glass, smiling.

"Lu Hao told me that you're planning to go there to enhance your strength?"

Liang Jiuhui felt that the Heart Talk Team's reason for leaving this time seemed different. Previously, they ventured out for Crystal Cores.

But why travel to such a distant, uninhabited area to enhance strength?

Su Jin of course noticed Liang Jiuhui's suspicion and understood his concern, but their true goal was too outlandish to admit that they intended to be saviors, right?

"Do you remember Tang Xue and Chang Xuan from the B-city base?"

Su Jin tilted her head and asked.

"Of course, they always seem to be searching for the origin of the zombie virus,"

Liang Jiuhui nodded.

"Tang Xue came to see me before. They suspect that the Y Autonomous Region might be the origin. Our next task is likely related to it, and if it's an uninhabited area, we figured we might as well go there early to try it out, which will give us more confidence for the mission,"

Su Jin tried to make the reasoning seem more logical, and clearly, Liang Jiuhui agreed. In fact, as long as the Heart Talk Team didn't depart from S city base, he was reassured.

"If that's the case, we can't just stand by. If you need anything, support will be available anytime,"

Liang Jiuhui said. The origin of the Apocalypse affects every survivor.

Su Jin nodded: "Should we need anything later, we'll definitely ask."

Lu Changfeng said that there are many forms of vitality. They had never visited the Y Autonomous Region before. This time, they would explore with the family, with the key being to find a safe place to install the Teleportation Array.
