Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 226: Can't WaitLearning that everyone could go on a mission together the next day, the whole family, including Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi, was very excited. Since Guo Yang’s store couldn’t be left unattended, only Guo Yang, Yin Chengtian, and Shi Jin had to stay behind in the shop.
Fortunately, the three of them didn’t feel too cooped up in the base. According to Guo Yang, there were quite a few unexpected situations in the store every day, but Su Jin planned to find out more about these once all the survivors had been relocated. Moreover, the more people there were in the base, the better the business at the store would be.
Xue Wanyi couldn’t sleep and was sitting in the main hall of the secondary residence, counting days on his fingers.
Hmm… Including the last trip to North Mountain for hunting, it had been nearly five or six days since he had killed a zombie, which was… really killing him.
“What are you counting?” Guo Yang came over with the ledger in his hands, now accustomed to checking the day’s revenue each night before bed.
“I’m counting how many days this worker hasn’t killed a zombie.”
Guo Yang couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed only their team members would get itchy hands from not killing zombies.
In the Wood Spirit Space, as usual, the family would go in before bedtime to accompany the two elders and also talk about the day’s events.
Lin Tianzhen’s Water Element Ability had advanced to Level Two, which she attributed to building the city walls every day. Although tired, she felt very fulfilled.
“Xia Mufei, that kid, seems to have fallen out with that Xia Ying behind him these days,” Lin Cheng observed.Although Xia Ying was usually not very talkative, he used to interact with Xia Mufei. These few days, however, were different; even if the two were together, they didn’t speak.
“Xia Ying is strange too. Before, he was hard to find, and Xia Mufei even covered for him, yet he doesn’t know how to be grateful.”
Lin Tianzhen also wished to express her indignation on Xia Mufei’s behalf. That young man was so sincere, why should he have to read others’ faces all day.
At that moment, Grandpa Lin Yunguo brought out a large pot of steaming corn, ready to cool it in the well water they had drawn. Lu Hao saw this and quickly went to take the heavy pot of boiled corn to help Lin Yunguo pour it into the basin.
Nie Qing smelled it too and squatted down to grab a cob to nibble on.
The scent of corn wafted through the air, and Mrs. Su, Lin Tianhui, broke a cob in half, passing one half to Su Jin.
“Thank you, Mom. How’s work on your side?” Su Jin asked while eating.
“Your mom, she’s now the leading sister of the healing team. Patients that don’t require surgery are first treated by her,” Su Xiangzhe said happily.
He had some free time today, so he specifically visited Lin Tianhui’s workplace and helped out, like moving patients around.
But he also noticed that his wife’s healing ability really came in handy. The entire medical team respected her a lot, and even he benefited from her glow.
Not only that, he felt Lin Tianhui seemed to radiate when she was working, a look he hadn’t seen for many years. So now, he strongly supported her continuing with this work.
Lin Tianhui blushed at being praised and gently smacked Su Xiangzhe, explaining to her daughter, “Leading sister, what? These patients aren’t very serious; they’re suitable for the healing ability. For severe cases, they still need Doctor Yao.”
After hearing this, Su Jin was relieved. It seemed that increasing one’s ability wasn’t only possible by killing zombies outside; there were many ways to improve abilities, as long as everyone enjoyed what they were doing.
Before leaving the Space, Lin Cheng asked Su Jin to take a pack of vacuum-sealed corn out with her. He hadn’t brought anything for Xia Mufei these past few days and planned to stuff a bag of corn for him. Su Jin just found it amusing; it seemed like her family was even more enthusiastic than she was about repaying a favor.
After leaving the Space, Su Jin and Lu Hao appeared in their own room.
She placed the corn she brought out on the table outside the door, readying to tidy up for a bath.
“Xiao Jin, let’s bathe together!”
As soon as Lu Hao finished speaking, he was hit in the face with a pink pillow. Holding the pillow, he pondered why his little wife was always so shy.
Red-faced in the bathroom, Su Jin could tell that Lu Hao was in a good mood today. She wondered if it was because of solving the problem with Chen Xiarong, but… as long as he was recovering, that was all that mattered.
Not until both of them were lying in bed ready to rest did Lu Hao transform into a canine animal, sniffing around Su Jin’s neck…
If it wasn’t for the mission they had the following day, Su Jin felt she would have definitely suffered that night again.
…
The next morning, nearly everyone got up bright and early.
Especially after hearing that they had collected another 5,000 crystal cores the night before, Liang Jiuhui instantly turned into a glittering golden thigh in their hearts. More than that, it was said that the crystal cores they came across on their way today would also belong to them.
So when Su Jin and Lu Hao came downstairs, they saw a neatly dressed family, along with Xue Wanyi and Liao Yifan.
“Morning everyone…”
Su Jin’s mouth twitched; even the Local Tyrant Gold had changed into yellow clothes—what was that about?
“Su Jin, hurry up and eat, so we can set off early,” Lin Xiuyuan said, rushing over to indicate that he had already set the table.
Su Jin didn’t dwell on it any longer. She and Lu Hao had already washed up and changed clothes in their room. Since everyone was so actively prepared, they might as well start the meal early and set out early!
“What kind of car are we taking today?” asked Xue Wanyi.
“Let’s take two SUVs. An armored car is too conspicuous,” Lu Hao peeled an egg and handed it to Su Jin.
Xue Wanyi was somewhat disappointed; it had been a long time since he last drove an armored car.
“After we get through this busy period, I’ll let you drive to your heart’s content,”
Su Jin knew what he was thinking. Indeed, in the past few days, everyone had been busy with their own things, and Xue Wanyi was someone who couldn’t sit still. So she specifically comforted him.
“Hehe, okay Captain,”
Xue Wanyi finally ate with ease.
Su Jin almost choked on an egg when he called her Captain. When had she become the Captain?
Liao Yifan also laughed. She was used to calling Captain Lu, but anyone with eyes could see that whenever Lu Hao was with Su Jin, he was completely listening to her. So their Captain was Su Jin, wasn’t it?
Although the two SUVs didn’t look as imposing as an armored car, since they were new cars obtained from Guo Yang, they still looked very eye-catching with their fresh and pretty exteriors as they drove out of the base.
Liang Jiuqing was indeed guarding the gate early in the morning. She recognized Su Jin’s car, and to be honest, she envied this family. But with her brother and father both busy with governmental affairs, the only thing she could do was to support the two of them.
“Yo! Su Jin, good morning!”
The car window rolled down, revealing Liang Jiuqing’s radiant smile and two rows of extremely white teeth.
“Morning, this is for you,”
Su Jin threw something out of the window to Liang Jiuqing.
Only after the two cars had driven away did Liang Jiuqing look down to see clearly what was in her hand.
