Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Although Xiang Sanjin used an extra two petals at the end, he successfully stopped the mutation.

From a distance, Yin Chengtian had already arrived with Tang Xue and Lian Ze. Su Jin and Lu Hao weren't professionals, so although Xiang Sanjin appeared to be sleeping like a normal person, Tang Xue and the others still needed to check his condition inside.

"Su Jin, is everything Xiao Tian said true?!"

Tang Xue asked excitedly after seeing the two at the door.

Su Jin glanced at Lu Hao, then smiled and nodded. Guan Shouzhong had already dismissed everyone around, so only their own people were on this floor.

Lu Hao was right. They only had less than two Snow Spirit Flowers left, this was their last hope, and they couldn't act impulsively for now.

"Where's the test subject?"

Lian Ze asked.

"… Lian Ze, he is not a test subject."

Su Jin held her forehead, thinking that Guan Shouzhong and the others wouldn't be happy hearing that term.

Xiang Sanjin's hand, which originally had a rotting wound, had already been healed by Lin Tianhui. Now, he looked like someone without a scratch, except for the wet hair clinging to his forehead; he appeared just like a peacefully sleeping person.

"Previously, his wound here had begun to zombify. I used the stem of the Snow Spirit Flower on it, and he ate all the petals,"

Su Jin said a bit awkwardly, feeling like they were just a bunch of clueless charlatans.

"How many Snow Spirit Flowers did you use in total?"

Chang Xuan asked.

"One whole flower and two petals,"

Su Jin answered honestly. Now, she only had one complete Snow Spirit Flower left. However, if it could cure Xiang Sanjin, it would all be worth it.

Guan Shouzhong and the others watched nervously as Lian Ze took out a machine, which was the zombie virus detector from the S City Base, specially made for human use and said to have an accuracy rate of over 99%.

"Not infected. A normal person,"

Lian Ze said after taking a few drops of Xiang Sanjin's blood.

Everyone in the room had a look of joy, both for Xiang Sanjin on the bed and for this great discovery.

"Captain Lu, sister-in-law, I really don't know what to say, this is simply a miracle,"

Guan Shouzhong covered his face and cried again. If Captain Lu had come a few minutes later, they might have had to take action against Sanjin.

"I think it's more about Sanjin himself. If he hadn't held on, we wouldn't have made it in time,"

Lin Tianhui said, adding that willpower can indeed determine whether a miracle happens.

"Yes, he was tortured to death, but he pulled through,"

Su Jin was happy for Xiang Sanjin and also for the Snow Spirit Flower.

"No matter what, we still need to observe him closely for a few days. The Snow Spirit Flower is too magical, and we don't know if there are any side effects. I also suggest we stay a few extra days here,"

Chang Xuan said.

The matter of Xiang Sanjin was thus temporarily settled. Originally, everyone planned to rest here for just one night, but they decided to stay at the H Province Base for a week.

Thinking of the Dead Cities all over H Province, Su Jin's curiosity was piqued.

"The area with the densest zombies?"

That night, Lu Hao came to her with the question.

"This will help us cultivate the Snow Spirit Flower,"

Lu Hao explained without going into too much detail.

"There are many, but are you sure you're going alone?"

Guan Shouzhong asked, surprised that Lu Hao and the others planned to go without help and without weapons.

"We're not going to kill them one by one, don't worry,"

Su Jin replied with a smile.

Knowing Lu Hao wouldn't take Su Jin on a dangerous mission, Guan Shouzhong pointed out a few zombie-infested areas, and Lu Hao chose the two closest to the H Province Base, hoping to help the base a little.

After explaining the situation to Tang Xue and the others busy at the base hospital, Su Jin and Lu Hao set out with Lin Xiuyuan early the next morning.

Guo Yang and the others knew Su Jin's Man-eating Flower enhanced her Wood element ability and that they were going out for the Snow Spirit Flowers. They only needed the Man-eating Flower to eat zombies, so they didn't go with them.

"What's the point? I'd rather find a spot outside the base to kill zombies,"

Kou Ning lost interest when he heard they were going to feed plants. Since Su Jin had left him enough food where they stayed, he decided not to go.

The family treated the trip more like a vacation than anything else.

Their first stop was a shopping mall in a city center. From a distance, they could see the streets crowded with zombies.

The zombies stayed there because the surrounding areas were sealed off by the H Province Base. Even if some high-level zombies escaped, they could still contain most of them.

The spot they stood was a perfect viewing point identified by Mao Qiqi. From here, they could enter the space without being noticed.

"Some high-level zombies are already coming towards us,"

Mao Qiqi said.

"Everyone, move into the space. We shouldn't linger in battle now,"

Su Jin had already grown ten Man-eating Flowers on the open ground below and saw the high-level zombies rushing towards them. There were too many, and they only had a few people.

"Together,"

Lu Hao said.

Su Jin nodded, picking up Lu Xi and Lu Wang, and disappeared with the family from where they stood before the high-level zombies arrived.

The Man-eating Flowers, once on the ground, began to wobble around, seeking the best place to feed.

When the high-level zombies reached their previous spot, they sniffed around in confusion for a while. Seeing no one there, they dispersed.

The energy replenished by the Man-eating Flowers continuously flowed into Su Jin, who had almost exhausted her special ability. Before they left that morning, she had managed to restore the Snow Spirit Flower that had lost two petals. Although it consumed a lot of her special ability, now with the Man-eating Flower's help, she began to cultivate the third one.

"If the old sage could see it, he'd say you found the life force he talked about,"

Li Xiuying said to Su Jin by the Spirit Field.

"Just a bit human-consuming,"

Lin Yunguo handed Su Jin a glass of corn juice, mentioning how Su Jin hadn't stopped tending to the flowers since they appeared.

"It's fine as long as it doesn't consume crystal cores,"

Su Jin replied while drinking the sweet corn juice. Her special ability can be infinitely restored and replenished. If they had to use so many crystal cores, she'd be heartbroken.
