Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

The main hall of the Heart Talk Team's villa is very spacious. Since the family has many friends within the base, the sofa and coffee table at the entrance have been converted into a reception area, so there's no need to rush to tidy up even if visitors arrive unexpectedly.

"Wow, so many young ladies and gentlemen here. Feel free to sit, I'll go get you some drinks,"

Huang Yunxiang said with a smile.

The members of Extreme Flame Fierce Fire led by Zhang Tingen appeared mostly to be young men and women around the age of 20, and Mao Qiqi had also observed that each one of them was a Special Ability User.

"No need to be so polite, we don't need any..."

Zhang Tingen wanted to refuse, but Huang Yunxiang had already headed inside the hall.

"Are all the members of your team here?"

Lu Hao asked directly.

"Yes, everyone is here,"

Zhang Tingen replied.

He couldn't quite understand why Lu Hao asked that. The reason they brought so many people today was due to concerns that the Heart Talk Team might make some excessive demands. Simply put, they were here to show strength in numbers.

However, upon seeing Lu Hao like this, he felt as if he was being led along by the nose.

At this moment, Huang Yunxiang returned with a tray of iced peach juice, cheerfully distributing it to everyone.

"Thank you, sister,"

Chen Yan accepted it and said. In her eyes, Huang Yunxiang seemed to be a woman just in her early thirties, but Huang Yunxiang was clearly pleased when she heard this and brought some nuts and dried fruits for them to snack on while they chatted.

"Lu Hao, we admit defeat. Hurry up and make your request. Do you want crystal cores or supplies?"

Yuan Yi wanted to prevent his companions from being swayed by the delicious juice and snacks, so he asked directly.

"Why don't you all introduce yourselves first, including your special abilities and levels?"

Lu Hao's request made everyone look at each other in confusion. Did he mean everyone?

However, following the unspoken rules of admitting defeat means obedience, Yuan Yi was the first to stand and introduce himself.

The levels of the twelve Special Ability Users were indeed not low, and they covered various elements. The Water Element and Space Element, which could provide the most convenience for the team, were also present. Lu Hao nodded after listening.

"Captain Lu, our Extreme Flame is also an S-rank team. Everyone is indispensable; if your request is too excessive..."

Zhang Tingen now looked at Lu Hao with a sense of suspicion, like seeing a trafficker. Was he interested in some member of their team and wanted to pull them into the Heart Talk Team?

"My request is harmless to you. You can also refuse; it's not obligatory. If you refuse, we'll pretend yesterday never happened,"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

Crystal cores and supplies? They weren't lacking. The crystal cores were important for every team, and he wasn't interested in squeezing out the crystal cores others had worked hard for in their teams.

"Really?"

Yuan Yi asked suspiciously. How could there be such a good person?

"So, Captain Lu, what exactly is your request?"

Zhang Tingen, slightly relieved, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"I want you to go to Y District and stay there for three months."

Once Lu Hao spoke, the entire scene fell silent.

After the twelve people exchanged glances for a moment, a young man with glasses took out a map from his space and began to look at it.

"Isn't that a Dead City? Do you want to send us to our deaths?"

With what grudge or resentment? Yuan Yi loudly refuted once he realized.

"Little Li, knock him out first,"

Zhang Tingen said bluntly.

"Captain? Captain, I was wrong. From now on, I'll shut up and won't say another word,"

Yuan Yi immediately deflated upon hearing this.

"Captain Lu, I'd like to know why,"

Zhang Tingen asked with a frown. What kind of request was this? Just a wager, and it required their entire team to spend three months there?

"There's no reason, I just want you to go kill zombies. The reward is 1000 pounds of grain; other needs are self-managed,"

Lu Hao replied.

With the strength of this team, going there definitely wouldn't be sending them to their deaths.

"1000 pounds..."

Chen Yan murmured, slightly surprised.

Zhang Tingen looked at Lu Hao, who didn't seem to be joking at all, and began to think deeply.

After a moment, he raised his head and seriously replied:

"We agree"

...

The family had already known about Lu Hao sending the Extreme Flame Fierce Fire Team to Y District, but everyone thought those people wouldn't agree. Who would have thought they'd accept it on the spot?

"Do you think so highly of them?"

Su Jin said as she looked at Lu Xi and Lu Wang crawling on the grass in the space, while Little Wu and Little Liu dashed around, occasionally glancing back to check on the safety of the two children.

She could see that Lu Hao clearly had some special regard for the Extreme Flame Fierce Fire Team; otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about the wager.

"It depends on their fortune. After all, they can help. Isn't that right?"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

Their next step was to go to Y District, where they could steadily improve everyone's strength while seeking a chance for survival in the apocalypse. For this, the more people helping over there, the better.

"That's true. Their abilities aren't weak; perhaps after a few beatings in Y District, they'll become the next SS-rank,"

Su Jin said with a smile.

Y District is unlike any other place. It's not just a Dead City, but many modes of transportation become useless there.

Over the past two months, they have been running daily with zombies, competing with mutant animals, and guarding against every danger in the mutated grassland in a barren wasteland. The long days and short nights have pushed everyone's physical and endurance limits to the extreme. It's not just about killing zombies.

"Yes, Dad did say that Tang Xue called and she would be coming tomorrow, right?"

Lu Hao asked.

"Yes, I think perhaps, the next time Lin Xiuyuan will not feel bored,"

Su Jin said with a smile.

...

The purpose of Tang Xue and Chang Xuan's visit was indeed to assign a task to the Heart Talk Team, but after hearing that the Heart Talk Team had already been investigating there for more than two months, Tang Xue felt even more secure with them.

"Our mission reward is 8 million crystal cores,"

Tang Xue said.

Seeing the surprise on the faces of Su Jin and the others, Tang Xue quickly explained.

It turned out that the dispute between the Han Family and their Research Department in B City Base ended with the Han Family's surrender. After that, the Research Department directly absorbed the Han Family's assets, of course, with the approval of all factions within the base.

Research during the apocalypse requires crystal cores as support.

"I see, so our mission is just to act as guardians. What about the mission duration?"

Su Jin asked.

Tang Xue was there mainly to search for the origin of the apocalypse, but everyone knew this wasn't something that could be completed quickly.

"We haven't determined how long we'll be there, but for the first few months, the support of your Heart Talk Team is very important. Ideally, the mission duration is three months,"

Tang Xue said. They knew the Heart Talk Team's ability to earn crystal cores, and frankly, 8 million crystal cores for three months wasn't much.

"No problem,"

Su Jin said with a smile.
