Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Hao Dachuan had also received the conscription form, and at this moment, he was extraordinarily excited. He had thought of this when he saw the conscription information in the base, and he never expected someone to come and deliver the form to him personally!

He was simply thrilled!

“No wonder someone was collecting our names that night,”

A Fire Element Ability User also said happily. He was one of the Ability Users who had participated in that battle as well.

“Girl, are you going to take part in the conscription assessment too?”

Hao Dachuan asked Deng Shuwei, who, despite being a Metal Element Ability User, was so petite that he wondered if she could pass the assessment.

...

“Yes, I think… it’s pretty good,”

Feeling somewhat embarrassed under the gaze of so many people around her, Deng Shuwei said.

She couldn’t articulate why going to the base’s conscription was a good idea; she just felt that the terms and benefits listed were quite suitable for her.

She didn’t have many acquaintances to form a team with, and her Special Ability indeed required professional training. Moreover, she remembered how the Base Leader, a man busy with innumerable tasks, had noticed them, the survivors from the shanty area, and couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration.

It was like a low-level employee in a company being entrusted with important tasks by the boss and feeling a deep sense of gratitude, willing to go through fire and water for the company. She too wanted to become a valuable person under the Base Leader.

“Good luck! We’re rooting for you,”

Kang Ning said to Deng Shuwei with a smile. After experiencing that battle together, it seemed that they had established a deep bond of brotherhood, seeing each other as one of their own.

“Thank you, Sister Kang Ning. Are you guys going to take the assessment too?”

Deng Shuwei asked curiously. It seemed to her that Kang Ning and her three companions were always together, and she had assumed they would team up, but she hadn’t seen Sister Sheng Jing today.

“Yeah, we’re going to give it a try; if it doesn’t work out, then so be it,” Kang Ning responded with a smile.

She knew that Sheng Jing had been called away by Liang Jiuhui’s people, and for some reason, Sheng Jing seemed to have been lost in thought all morning. When asked, she couldn’t give a clear reason for Liang Jiuhui’s summons.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Deng Shuwei returned to her shack, only to discover that the wooden door was already open.

“Ah Fu?! You’re back? Where have you been these last two days?”

Deng Shuwei exclaimed with delight upon seeing Fang Jingfu, but she noticed something seemed different about her. Moreover, judging by the clothes and personal items laid out on the bed, it was clear that Fang Jingfu was packing.

Fang Jingfu was momentarily surprised to see Deng Shuwei return. She had thought that Deng Shuwei might have died in the zombie outbreak the previous night.

“You didn’t think I was eaten by zombies, did you? Don’t worry, I’m fine!”

Although Fang Jingfu said this with a smile, her tone wasn’t very pleasant.

“Ah Fu, where have you been staying these past two days?”

Deng Shuwei, looking at her only good friend in the base, still wanted to show more concern for her.

“What, didn’t you already know?”

As Fang Jingfu walked past Deng Shuwei, a refreshing scent of shampoo wafted over.

“Are you really, really with him?”

Deng Shuwei found it hard to believe. Jia Kaiji had only spent a few days distributing porridge in the shanty area, and she had often seen Ah Fu looking for him there. Were her previous suspicions and what Ah Fu had decided really true?

But Jia Kaiji was old enough to be Ah Fu’s father!

Knowing what Deng Shuwei was thinking, Fang Jingfu chuckled and said, “What’s age got to do with anything? He’s kind to me, and I even get to live in a villa, a grand villa at that.”

“Ah Fu, you…”

“Stop it, are you just jealous that I’m living well? After all, I don’t have to worry about food or shelter anymore, and I no longer have to munch on dry steamed buns with you here.”

Fang Jingfu leaned in closer, smiling as she spoke to Deng Shuwei.

The scent of Fang Jingfu’s perfume made Deng Shuwei slightly uncomfortable, and she looked down.

Deng Shuwei understood what Fang Jingfu meant, and to say she wasn’t angry would be a lie. The dry steamed buns Fang Jingfu mentioned used to be shared by her, traded for with her own Crystal Cores. She never imagined that the saying “gratitude ebbs after favors are forgotten” would apply to her one day.

“Since Ah Fu, you’ve made up your mind, I wish you happiness,”

After speaking, Deng Shuwei didn’t look at Fang Jingfu anymore.

Fang Jingfu let out a cold laugh and continued to pack her things, but a piece of paper on the cardboard box that served as a table caught her eye. She said mockingly, “Wow! Are you really going to attend the military recruitment assessment? This is the best you can do? Do you know, out of the 40 guards who went out today, only 2 came back alive, hahaha…”

In her eyes, Deng Shuwei’s behavior was akin to courting death, and moreover, to undergo all that rough training with a bunch of men? She really didn’t understand how this fool thought.

So what if she has a Special Ability? She’s still far more miserable than me.

However, Fang Jingfu was mistaken, the number of women signing up for this recruitment wasn’t small. Although in the Apocalypse, the ratio of men to women had widened, with far more men surviving than women, and women were generally considered the weaker sex, some refused to be dependent on men or to merely survive in the Apocalypse. So, they decided to seize this opportunity.

Sheng Jing, summoned by Liang Jiuhui, shared her own situation with him. She now wondered if she was suffering from neurasthenia, or perhaps hallucinations in her brain?

Why did these visions always appear in her mind?

Liang Jiuhui didn’t know what was happening with Sheng Jing. Could it be a premonition of danger?

But Sheng Jing said she could also sense those around her who weren’t in danger, and even feel everything around her.

Liang Jiuhui was troubled, and at that moment, he thought of Su Jin and Lu Hao, the most knowledgeable in the base. So, he decided to ask those two for help.

So not long after Su Jin and her companions had gotten home, they heard a knock at the door.

“They’re asking for us, to clear up doubts and questions?”

Su Jin asked Xu Shi, who stood at the door unable to articulate exactly what the issue was.

“Yes, the Base Leader, that’s what he said.”

Xu Shi was also distressed; he had just finished posting flyers—oh no, recruitment information—when he received Liang Jiuhui’s directive to deliver the message. That’s exactly what he had said.

Su Jin smiled and agreed. She was curious about Liang Jiuhui’s situation and why he thought to ask them for help.

Lu Hao didn’t say much, just took Su Jin’s coat and followed her out.

“I wonder what urgent matter he needs us for,” Su Jin said to Lu Hao as they walked hand in hand.

“Thinking of giving out Crystal Cores?”

Lu Hao considered for a moment before replying.

“…”

Xu Shi, walking ahead, almost tripped over his own feet. In their eyes, was the Base Leader just a gullible figure?
