Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Before setting off, apart from the excited Guo Yang and a few others, Kou Ning was also quite happy.

Last time, when he went to Province H, he felt that not only could he catch a free ride every day, but he could also get free meals and enjoy the excitement. There were even more zombies there than here, so he didn't have to run back and forth every day.

Su Jin also knew that Kou Ning, who often came by for meals and even lived in the villa courtyard, had become very familiar with Guo Yang and Liao Yifan, so he was placed in the same car with Guo Yang and the others.

The family was still traveling in that modified camper van, but this time they had one more person: Lin Tianhui.

She had taken a long leave at the last minute. When Liang Jiuhui found out that Tang Xue's team only had two healers, he generously got Xu Mingzhi to approve Lin Tianhui's leave.

Although Su Jin's ability also had healing effects, he had seen Meng Zixia's wood element healing, which was indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive and not as effective as a healer's.

Ever since Su Xiangzhe learned that he could go "traveling" with his wife this time, he was more enthusiastic than ever, as if he was really on a family vacation.

"By the way, brother-in-law, where's Extreme Flame? Aren't they coming with us?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked while standing outside and looking around.

"They've already set off, don't worry about them,"

Lu Hao laughed.

At this moment, Su Jin was talking with Tang Xue and her team, so Lu Hao and the others walked up to join them.

"I understand, we'll follow your arrangements,"

Tang Xue nodded in agreement.

Su Jin came to tell Tang Xue that they were familiar with the route, and the team behind could just follow them. Tang Xue, being a researcher, had no interest in killing zombies, so she readily agreed that everyone would act according to the Heart Talk Team's instructions.

"Yes, Guo Yang and I are both space element ability users. If you run out of supplies on the road, you can also buy from us,"

Su Jin said.

"Wow, that's really convenient, like a mobile Heart Talk Convenience Store,"

Shan Zhuxuan said happily. This was her second time at the S City base, and she was always the first to rush to the Heart Talk Store after the team settled down. She was already thrilled to learn that Guo Yang, the owner of the Heart Talk Store, was going with them to the Y Autonomous Region.

She didn't expect that she could even buy supplies from the Heart Talk Team on the road.

"Welcome anytime,"

Su Jin laughed, as they were always keen to earn crystal cores whenever possible.

The grand team setting off attracted quite a bit of attention, and seeing the Heart Talk Team heading out, everyone guessed that they were going on another mission.

"Safe travels,"

Liang Jiuqing said to the Heart Talk Team at the city gate.

"Thank you,"

Su Jin waved to Liang Jiuqing from the window while holding Lu Wang. The two little ones were already used to going out, showing no signs of discomfort.

Mao Qiqi glanced in the direction of the Base Hospital and sighed.

In the past few days, she had been visiting Lian Jiyue almost daily, but Lian Jiyue's condition was not very good. Even Lian Ze only mentioned that he and Yao Yi were considering new treatment methods, which hadn't started yet.

She wondered if she would see her old friend healed when she returned next time...

The weather was getting hotter again, and the family didn't plan to save on fuel. Guo Yang and the others knew that the family seemed to have collected a lot of gasoline last time, so Xue Wanyi set the air conditioner to the most comfortable temperature.

"Kou Ning, doesn't eating on the road make you feel uncomfortable?"

Liao Yifan couldn't help but ask, seeing that Kou Ning, sitting in the passenger seat, hadn't stopped eating since they started.

"Uncomfortable? Not at all, it's very enjoyable,"

Kou Ning replied, tearing open a pack of expired jerky to chew. Su Jin had tossed it to him. Although the expiration date had passed, in the apocalypse, no one cared about sell-by dates as long as the food wasn't spoiled.

In fact, those were the "expired foods" the family had sorted out from the space when they were bored. The space had a preservation effect, so even if the package indicated the food was expired, it really wasn't.

Su Jin didn't know how to dispose of these foods, so he gave a big bag to Kou Ning to finish on the road, knowing that he got hungry faster than anyone else.

"Fanfan, I have lots of food in my space too. Here, take this,"

Guo Yang handed Liao Yifan a coconut candy, knowing it was Yifan's favorite.

"Thank you, darling~" Liao Yifan said sweetly, tearing open the candy wrapper and putting it into her mouth.

While Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin felt slightly hurt by their occasional public displays of affection, and even Xue Wanyi, who was driving, thought the couple had changed significantly since marrying, Kou Ning seemed unaffected, focusing solely on his food.

Unexpected incidents kept occurring on the road, but everyone, including Tang Xue's team, showed strong psychological resilience. Whenever they encountered zombies or mutant animals, the Heart Talk Team could always handle them completely.

"No wonder Wei Junhao said hiring the Heart Talk Team for missions is the most economical and reliable,"

Chang Xuan commented, watching the Heart Talk Team dig up crystal cores outside the car window.

They had now reached the vicinity of North Mountain, where animal attacks became more frequent. If the Heart Talk Team's mental element ability user hadn't timely detected and stopped them, they might have been attacked by several ambushing mutant giant pythons.

"Yes, Su Jin and his team are definitely reliable. I hear that they even have a safe spot over there. Even when we reach the Y Autonomous Region, we'll have a place to stay,"

Thinking about relying on the Heart Talk Team for the major bases along the way, Tang Xue felt deeply grateful.

As evening approached, Lu Hao drove the group directly into a farmyard where they had rested before. This was their usual stopping place, with few zombies and plenty of space for everyone to stay.

"Ah, this is where we roasted wild boar last time,"

Kou Ning nostalgically looked at the cleaned-up spot in the courtyard center, where some charcoal ash marks from the barbecue still remained.

Tang Xue's team only came out after the Heart Talk Team cleared the surrounding zombies, suggesting they would rest here tonight.

Tang Xue's group had over a hundred people. Besides the logistics personnel and several researchers, most were ability users, including bounty teams hired with the Research Department's rewards, so they would take care of their meals themselves.

Su Jin could relax as the entire Heart Talk Team set off this time, and with Kou Ning, who couldn't go without meat, they had to prepare a substantial amount of food.

Fortunately, Lin Yunguo, knowing the family would be out for several months, had prepared plenty of easy-to-process foods in the space and even taught them how to make simple yet tasty meals outside.
