Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Half a year later.

As the connections between the major bases grew closer, the speed of information dissemination became faster and more accurate.

The strength and status of various bounty teams also became a hot topic of discussion, and with crystal cores gradually becoming the sole currency, their importance was increasingly revealed, causing a sharp increase in the number of bounty teams.

However, no matter how much the number grew, the Heart Talk Team of S City Base remained in its irreplaceable first position.

Another relatively famous team was the newly emerged Extreme Flame Fierce Fire Team.

This young team of only 12 people caught everyone's attention after taking on and successfully completing several red-level tasks.

Every member is above Level Six, with the captain Zhang Tingen and a fire element member named Yuan Yi having advanced to Level Seven within six months. Upon further investigation, people discovered that most of the other members had also successfully advanced during this half year.

What exactly did they experience during these six months?

Why did they succeed in advancing one after another during this time?

"I heard Yuan Yi from Extreme Flame said that they went to the Y Autonomous Region for training, and their rapid advancement happened there."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too. Rumor has it that even the people from the Heart Talk Team advanced there."

"Could it be that there's some magic in the Y Autonomous Region?"

"..."

The Y Autonomous Region, once a dead city, was taken over by personnel from the Research Department of B City Base, three months after the Heart Talk Team went there to enhance their strength. Together with the Heart Talk Team, they established a base there. It's said that the origin of the zombie virus might have occurred there.

This place, rumored to be the origin, should have been a dangerous spot, but now many Special Ability Users are eager to go there for training.

Besides the Heart Talk Team and Extreme Flame Fierce Fire, even many Special Ability Users brought by the Research Department advanced within six months.

It is heard that S City Base and several other bases have also started sending Special Ability Users there for field training.

The Y Autonomous Region is undeniably a training ground for Special Ability Users to accelerate their advancement.

This matter has already become an undeniable fact.

At this moment, Yuan Yi, who had just finished boasting, was pulled by the ear by Chen Yan to stand in front of Zhang Tingen.

"I wasn't boasting, we stayed there for a whole six months, wasn't that just training?"

Yuan Yi tried to argue.

"But you said that our Extreme Flame members advanced solely because of your brave decisions. What was that about?"

Chen Yan replied with annoyance.

When had Yuan Yi ever made a brave decision? Did he not have even a little awareness of what they went through during these six months?

Thinking of this, Chen Yan felt a nameless sorrow that couldn't be expressed.

Although their team's strength did indeed increase significantly, that improvement came from the literal night and day hardships they endured. Looking at his current rock-hard muscles...

God knows how their stamina was trained in the Y Autonomous Region.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, don't argue with him. We indeed benefitted from Yuan Yi's misfortune this time."

Zhang Tingen, watching the two of them bickering, laughed and said.

Of course, he felt that besides the place being quite rigorous, the help from the Heart Talk Team was also a partial reason.

Lu Hao was a very good "instructor", and since most of their team members were of the fire element, each of them could learn a lot from Lu Hao.

Based on their bet with Lu Hao, they should have been able to return from there in three months, but because of the Heart Talk Team, the whole team stayed there for half a year without any complaints.

This change over the past six months was not noticeable to the twelve of them until they traveled between several bases and took on a few tasks, discovering that their strength seemed to have risen to some degree.

"Even so, I want to remind everyone that there are always stronger people out there, and higher skies. Each member of the team should remain grounded and remember what Captain Lu told you, understood?"

Zhang Tingen didn't forget to caution everyone.

"Don't worry, Captain, even if I forget your words, I'll never forget Brother Lu's words."

Yuan Yi replied cheerfully.

Zhang Tingen just glanced at Yuan Yi without arguing further, knowing that their next task time was only in two days, and they needed to purchase more supplies in S City.

...

In the Y Autonomous Region, Su Jin emerged alone from the passage beneath the temple complex, where her family stood leaning against the wall, waiting and keeping watch outside.

"Sister Xiao Jin!"

Mao Qiqi was the first to spot Su Jin emerging from the darkness, and she ran forward excitedly, calling out.

"Yaya mama"

Lu Xi, in Lu Hao's arms, also waved her chubby hand and kicked her short legs, shouting excitedly.

Lu Hao, seeing his struggling daughter, had no choice but to put her down, allowing her to run ahead...

Not even seven months old and capable of walking, Lu Xi and Lu Wang were not encouraged to walk by the family until they were a year old, following Li Xiuying's advice that walking too early was not good for their leg development, a theory supported by a parenting book Lu Hao read.

As soon as Lu Xi was allowed to walk by her family in recent days, she landed on the ground and ran towards Su Jin, with Lu Wang trailing behind, giggling as he ran.

"Run slowly, don't fall."

Su Jin quickly approached, reaching out to hold one in each arm.

"All done?"

Lu Hao, following behind, asked.

"Yes, I've filled everything for Uncle, let's go~"

Su Jin smiled.

Today the family used the excuse of going out when, in fact, they were waiting here for Su Jin to secretly return to S City Base through the teleportation array and load some supplies into the storage bag in their room.

After the Heart Talk Store temporarily closed, the consumption of supplies at the Heart Talk Branch increased several times; fortunately, with the help of the teleportation array, she could occasionally return to resupply Lin Tianzhen and Mao Zhihang.

Only then did the family leave the temple complex, and despite it being the end of June, the weather was getting colder.

The winter of the second year of the apocalypse did not arrive as expected; however, the current weather made everyone feel that perhaps winter would come at this time.

"Uncle and the others said the training team sent by S City Base should arrive in the next few days."

Su Jin said.

The family visited the space daily and was well-versed in the affairs of S City Base. The Y Autonomous Region recently attracted many Special Ability Users from other bases, and even Liang Jiuhui couldn't resist, selecting trainees from various elements to conduct a three-month special training here.

"It's a good thing people are coming here voluntarily to kill zombies; we can kill fewer and save our strength for farming."

Lin Xiuyuan, resting his arms behind his head, said as he walked, having experienced half a year of the daily routine of killing zombies and farming.
