Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Recently, H Province Base has been frequently troubled by waves of zombie rats. Just this morning, zombie rats appeared again within the base.

Many people were injured and infected with the zombie virus. After much effort to join forces and eliminate these zombie rats, a few mutated individuals suddenly attacked their nearby companions.

Xiang Sanjin was present at the time and, in a bid to protect the survivors behind the base, was unfortunately scratched on the back of his hand by a mutant.

"What?! San Jin, he? Where are they now?!"

Yin Chengtian tightly grabbed Wei Gaoyi, somewhat unable to believe that what he said was true.

"At the base hospital, but I haven't seen the base leader come out yet. I fear..."

Wei Gaoyi's eyes slightly reddened as he spoke. He knew well that those three people had always been silently dedicating themselves to the base's people, and Xiang Sanjin's injury was entirely from protecting innocent citizens, but...

"Captain Lu, we..."

Shi Jin looked ready to cry. This news came too suddenly; they had entered the base with joyful intentions of reuniting with friends, only to hear such tragic news.

"Let's go together, Guo Yang, could you please take care of settling everyone first"

Lu Hao was also getting anxious. Xiang Sanjin was once his subordinate. With Maizi's situation already severely affecting Guan Shouzhong and the others, if anything happened to San Jin...

"My mom and I will go too, you guys don't worry too much."

Seeing the three worried and anxious men, Su Jin quickly calmed them.

"Su Jin, Lu Hao, you two go ahead and get busy. It's not our first time here after all."

Tang Xue noticed something as well. Su Jin's mother was a level five healing ability user; perhaps going earlier might make a difference, albeit slim.

The group didn't waste more time, knowing the direction of the H Province base hospital, so they quickly headed over.

Xiang Sanjin was indeed infected. However, because the wound on the back of his hand was small, the virus spread slowly. Guan Shouzhong and Tian Yongyi already had red swollen eyes from crying.

"Can you two, can you have a little backbone"

Xiang Sanjin struggled to stay conscious, not letting himself fall asleep. He forced a smile, mocking the two.

"I'll soon be able to see Maizi. Maizi must be feeling lonely by himself over there..."

Bam!

The door suddenly got kicked open by someone outside, and Xiang Sanjin thought he was seeing things; he actually saw Captain Lu and Yin Chengtian and the others.

"What are you guys doing!"

Lu Hao was also slightly angry, more so because he felt pained for his comrade.

"Captain Lu!"

Tian Yongyi cried even more after seeing Lu Hao and the others.

Su Jin and Lin Tianhui quickly examined Xiang Sanjin's wound and state. To say the least, even they couldn't do anything in such a situation. The wound on Xiang Sanjin's hand had already started to turn black. Forcing himself to stay awake was likely his own doing...

Lu Hao unhesitantly took the spatial water from Su Jin and fed it directly to Xiang Sanjin.

At that moment, there were no outsiders in the ward. Xiang Sanjin was tied to the bed, saying farewell to Guan Shouzhong, and the staff from the base couldn't bear to disturb the three, so they had all left.

"Don't misunderstand, this water contains some of our own anti-inflammatory medicine."

Su Jin explained.

Anti-inflammatory medicine?

Medicine?

Suddenly, something flashed in Su Jin's mind, the Snow Spirit Flower!

"Lu Hao! Maybe we should try the Snow Spirit Flower?"

Su Jin quickly suggested.

After getting off the vehicle, Yin Chengtian also placed his pot of Snow Spirit Flowers in Su Jin's space, so she had three Snow Spirit Flowers now.

Snow Spirit Flower? What is that?

Though Guan Shouzhong and Tian Yongyi didn't know what that was, seeing the expression on Su Jin's and Lu Hao's faces, they understood something.

Could there still be hope for Xiang Sanjin?!

"Xiao Jin, can it be useful? We've never tried it after all, right?"

Lin Tianhui recalled what Lian Ze said, something about inhibiting the zombie virus?

"I want to try it on San Jin."

Lu Hao declared.

Su Jin nodded, taking out Yin Chengtian's pot of Snow Spirit Flowers from the space.

But... how to use this flower? Apply it to the wound? Or eat it directly?

"It's like this; this is a plant we discovered on M Peak, and we're not sure if it's useful against the zombie virus. Currently, there are only three in total,"

Lin Tianhui explained to Guan Shouzhong and Tian Yongyi.

"There's no time, let's do it together."

Lu Hao saw the wound on Xiang Sanjin's hand worsening again and quickly took the pot of Snow Spirit Flower, stuffing the whole flower into Xiang Sanjin's mouth.

Su Jin looked at the remaining long stem and used her wood element ability to break it into pieces and applied it on Xiang Sanjin's wound.

"Captain Lu, sister-in-law, will it work?"

Tian Yongyi asked with red eyes. A flower curing the zombie virus was something they could hardly believe.

Without speaking, choosing to treat a dead horse as if it were alive, Su Jin and Lin Tianhui began using their healing abilities on Xiang Sanjin together.

At that moment, Xiang Sanjin only felt two streams of energy, one cold and one hot, tearing within his body, and he couldn't help but scream in pain.

"San Jin, hang in there, don't fall asleep! Think of your brothers, think of Captain Lu and them!"

Guan Shouzhong choked as he shouted.

"It hurts so much..."

Xiang Sanjin clenched his fists tightly, even his toes curling.

Seeing the unbearable pain, with veins almost bursting on Xiang Sanjin's forehead, Su Jin felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Could one flower be not enough?"

Su Jin queried.

Lu Hao shook his head, a glimmer of hope flickering in his eyes, saying, "No need for now, it's starting to take effect."

Following Lu Hao's gaze, they saw the black wound on Xiang Sanjin's hand slowly transform into a dark red color!

"Oh my god, oh my god, is this really working?!"

Lin Tianhui had seen countless patients infected with the zombie virus, but never like Xiang Sanjin.

The Snow Spirit Flower can indeed suppress the zombie virus!

"Captain Lu, am I dreaming?"

Guan Shouzhong couldn't hide his excitement either; although Xiang Sanjin was still in painful struggle, they wouldn't give up as long as there was hope.

"Captain Lu, ah ah... I need water..."

Xiang Sanjin cried out in pain.

Hearing this, Su Jin immediately took two bottles of water from the space, allowing Guan Shouzhong and the others to feed him.

Xiang Sanjin did indeed need hydration, with his clothes and the bedsheet beneath him soaked with sweat, showing the intense struggle happening within his body.

The group stayed in the room the entire afternoon, with Su Jin and Lu Hao coming out again, their faces bearing indescribable smiles.

They could already be sure that the chance of life Lu Changfeng mentioned had been found!

Facing the zombie virus, humanity has hope!
