Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Perhaps due to the geographical location of Y region, over two months later, when the weather here had slowly ceased to be so scorching hot, the whole family even felt the refreshing air of autumn.

During these two months, due to the relentless zombie killing day and night, Lu Hao successfully advanced to Level Eight Fire Element, Lin Xiuyuan also advanced to Ice Element Level Seven, and even Lin Cheng and Su Xiangzhe advanced to Special Ability Level Six.

This was supposed to be something that made everyone happy, but the more they learned about Y region, the more confused the family became.

"Could it be that we need to kill all the zombies here to find the ultimate clue?"

Lin Xiuyuan began to let his mind wander again.

"The opportunity hasn't appeared yet, I think there's no need to rush, things will naturally unfold when the time is right."

Nie Qing comforted, saying that Lu Changfeng only pointed out a path for them.

"Yeah, at least we've arranged the teleportation location here, so coming and going will be convenient in the future."

Lu Hao said.

Tourism in Y region has always been prosperous, which is why there are many temples here. They found this temple complex and arranged a teleportation array in a secret basement.

They chose this basement because it has many small and large exits, and the surrounding walls of this temple complex are still very much intact, making it suitable as a safety stronghold.

"Yeah, we're due to return in a few days; we came on this day, so by timing it, we've been here long enough."

Su Jin took out a notebook with a schedule and said, because this time they planned to return via the teleportation array directly to the S City base, so they had to calculate the timing carefully. Going back too early might just raise suspicions.

The reason they had to return this time was because their family at the S City base informed them that people from Y country had come. Although they didn't state their exact purpose, they merely inquired when Mao Zhihang's Heart Talk Team would return, but the family could guess: they were definitely coming to purchase supplies.

"That Qiao really knows how to keep a secret, the whole group acted as if they were simply visiting the S City base for observation and learning, and didn't tell anyone about wanting to procure supplies from the Heart Talk Team."

Mao Zhihang said with an admiring tone.

"Haha, we told him to keep it a secret before, it seems he still remembers."

Lin Xiuyuan felt a bit eager to return too; compared to dealing with zombies every day, he felt nostalgic for the bustling S City base.

"Uncle, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow at 11 in the morning."

Su Jin said, planning to take the family out again once they were out of the base.

...

Qiao and David's group had already stayed at the S City base for five or six days.

The absence of Su Jin and the others at the base disappointed them quite a bit, but the owner of the Heart Talk Branch reassured them that they could wait a little longer, as Su Jin and the others might be returning soon.

Knowing that the owner of the Heart Talk Branch was connected to the Heart Talk Team reassured Qiao, and he decided to comfortably stay at the S City base for a while, also taking the opportunity to learn more about S City's rules and regulations.

But as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait; on the 10th day of their stay at the S City base, Su Jin and Lu Hao's group surprisingly knocked on their door.

"Oh my God, look who's here."

Abby exclaimed in a string of Y country language, astonished at how great Su Jin looked even after unloading cargo?

"Abby, long time no see."

Su Jin said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Qiao had brought the original team they worked with cleaning up the zombie cockroaches in Y country. Seeing so many old friends, besides Su Jin, the whole family was genuinely delighted.

"It's wonderful to see you all again."

Qiao warmly hugged everyone, God knows how much he's missed these friends.

"You all came, is everything okay with your duties in Y country?"

After a few more exchanges, Lu Hao asked.

"With Elder Russell there, everything's just fine."

Qiao replied with a smile, completely unworried with Elder Russell overseeing Y country.

"Oh my dears, your S City base is truly incredible, now I understand why Qiao was so determined to change Y country's situation after coming back last time."

Jerome sighed, saying they had seen and learned so much at the S City base, it was basically the last bastion of human civilization.

"And are you still troubled by zombie cockroaches now?"

Su Jin asked her most concerned question, because although they had successfully eliminated all zombie cockroaches in Y country, those highly resilient creatures might bounce back from mere leftover eggs.

"Not yet currently, we're now focusing on exterminating all zombies. Occasionally, we encounter larger zombie animals, but compared to dealing with those cockroaches, this feels much better."

Qiao beamed, explaining that the biggest issue in Y country after the zombie cockroaches was roaming zombies, but everyone found zombies much more endearing than cockroaches.

"That's good to hear, so this time you came for?"

Su Jin felt at ease upon hearing this.

"Of course, it's to trade supplies. Elder Russell mentioned that winter might be coming soon."

Qiao said with a wry smile. Y country's textile industry had always been dependent on imports even before the apocalypse, and now in the apocalypse, finding clothes or blankets was more challenging, requiring them to seek help from Huaxia.

"List your inventory, and you can place it at the Heart Talk Branch, we'll start preparing these days too."

Originally expecting Su Jin to be difficult, Qiao was surprised by her straightforward agreement, bringing to his mind the Huaxia words: No Effort Wasted.

David and the group were also very pleased hearing Qiao's translation; Huaxia people are indeed reliable.

Reminded by Qiao, Su Jin also became aware of the winter issue. If it were to snow like last year, they better visit several bases again as Dragon Ruler before then.

"Are you planning to donate supplies?"

In the office, Liang Jiuhui was surprised after hearing about Su Jin and Lu Hao's decision.

Not selling? Doesn't Heart Talk Team need crystal cores?

"This time at Y region, we gathered many cold-resistant clothes and blankets, and we're planning on donating some of them."

Lu Hao confirmed.

They grow their food, so it's reasonable to exchange harvests for crystal cores, but these outside-collected supplies originate from the people, and giving them back as goodwill perhaps aligns more with Lu Changfeng's words about good causes and outcomes.

"On behalf of everyone in the base, I thank you. Rest assured, if winter arrives, these cold-resistant supplies won't be used for profit. We'll distribute them to anyone meeting application criteria as needed."

Liang Jiuhui was a bit moved; having such a team at their base must mean he saved the Milky Way in his past life.
