Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

A Guard Squad Member by Rong Yuan’s side wanted to shield him from that strike, but he too was entangled by an Earth Element Mutated Zombie and couldn’t break free.

Just when he thought the one-armed kid had been scared stiff, Rong Yuan quickly dodged to the side and began to fight the Metal Element Mutated Zombie with his Metal Element Ability.

The Guard Squad Member breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, how could they send out a half-grown kid? Turns out, the kid had a Special Ability, but that severed arm… must be quite inconvenient…

Rong Yuan was well aware that he couldn’t match the Metal Element Series Zombie in either level or stature, so initially, he simply dodged again and again, not daring to take the zombie’s attack head-on.

This was his first time fighting a Mutated Zombie.

However, after dodging a few times, he realized that the Mutated Zombie’s attacks were completely unstructured. With just a bit of thought, he could easily neutralize its assaults.

...

Ban Xiaobo and the others watched Rong Yuan worriedly. Since their Special Abilities were of different elements, they didn’t join the fight. The Fire Element Gao Lei had been replaced already, and seeing that he wasn’t seriously hurt, just exhausted to the point of collapse, they finally felt reassured.

“Awesome, it’s been so long since I’ve felt this great. It’s my first time creating a sea of fire together with other Special Ability Users,”

Gao Lei said, taking a sip of water handed to him by Ren Feipeng.

“It’s a pity that senior went to rest. Otherwise, we could have burned another few hundred of them,”

Gao Lei muttered under his breath. He knew that the fan belonged to Lu Hao’s team. The Fire Element Ability User standing at the front had seen it too. He didn’t just see it but also noticed that quite a few people were eyeing the fan jealously, so he couldn’t help but worry for Lu Hao and his teammates.

“Yeah, I heard someone wanted to borrow that fan. Thankfully Lu Hao and his team went to rest, and they couldn’t find anyone,”

Tian Liao shared the news he had just heard with everyone.

“That’s just ridiculous. That’s their treasure, how could they lend it just because someone asks? I bet the person who wants to borrow it has ulterior motives,”

Ban Xiaobo commented disdainfully. If it were up to him, he would never lend it out.

Ren Feipeng also felt that the person trying to borrow the fan was being a bit excessive, but what worried him the most at the moment was Rong Yuan. They hadn’t wanted Rong Yuan to sign up at first, but Rong Yuan insisted on going. In the end, Ban Xiaobo agreed and reminded him that killing as many Zombies as possible wasn’t important, but keeping himself safe was.

“Don’t die on us, man. We are all counting on you to fix our cars!”

Rong Yuan remembered what Xu Chao had said to him before he left, and he couldn’t help but smile. He continued to attack the Metal Element Series Zombie before him, which seemed to be growing impatient. It jumped back while dodging, forming an Iron Spike in Rong Yuan’s direction!

The hearts of Ren Feipeng and others by the city gate practically jumped to their throats.

Why isn’t that kid dodging?

Rong Yuan steadied himself on his feet, eyeing the Iron Spike, and then he conjured a brighter Metal Spike in the same direction!

The two Metal Spikes collided with one another.

But Rong Yuan’s Metal Spike pierced straight through the Iron Spike and, with a whoosh, embedded itself into the brain of the zombie behind!

The Level Two Metal Element Mutated Zombie slowly fell backward.

Ren Feipeng and the others were stunned. Was Xiao Rong Yuan really that incredible?

“I told you that kid was no simpleton,” Xu Chao said beside Ren Feipeng.

“But that was a Level Two Mutated Zombie!” Ren Feipeng still found it hard to believe.

However, Rong Yuan on the field showed no signs of triumph. With one hand, he dug out the Crystal Core of the zombie and, standing there, began to absorb it on the spot.

“This foolish kid, couldn’t he have stored it first!”

Xu Chao, frustrated, couldn’t help but slap his thigh, commenting on how risky it was to absorb a Crystal Core out in the open!

But to their surprise, Rong Yuan absorbed the Crystal Core in an instant, and as soon as he reopened his eyes, he was back to battling the surrounding zombies.

“Ahem, have you two had your fill of watching? This isn’t a place for spectating,”

Liang Jiuqing only let these two have a glimpse out of respect for Su Jin.

“Ah haha, my apologies, that’s enough, that’s enough, we were just too worried about our buddy just now,”

Xu Chao and another person only then remembered what Liang Jiuqing had said about allowing them to have just a glance.

Seeing the two men back off, Liang Jiuqing didn’t say more, but she was reminded of what she had just seen, so she asked, “Is Rong Yuan really just a Level One Special Ability?”

“Yes, he awakened during the Red Rain, and this is his first time fighting Mutated Zombies,” Ren Feipeng replied.

Liang Jiuqing nodded; though it was not uncommon to defeat zombies of a higher level, it was her first time seeing someone with Level One Special Ability do so.

Ren Feipeng and Xu Chao stopped watching the battle from the doorway and followed Ban Xiaobo and a few others up the stairs to the top of the city wall.

Although the view from atop the city wall was somewhat distant, Rong Yuan was wearing the bright red coat that Su Jin had given him last time, and he had fallen in love with the color, often wearing it as soon as it was dry.

Dressed in red, Rong Yuan kept dodging amidst the field full of zombies. Whenever he saw a zombie reveal an opening, he would deliver a lethal blow and even used his Special Ability to block a hit for a Guard Squad Member who couldn’t dodge in time.

“Thank you!”

The Guard Squad Member looked at Rong Yuan and said, just now an Earth Element Zombie outside the fence had launched an Earth Spike attack at him, an attack he hadn’t seen coming due to carelessness. To his surprise, it was this kid who had used a Metal Shield to block the hit for him.

“No, you’re welcome,”

Rong Yuan replied, somewhat embarrassed.

At that moment, a Mutated Zombie leaped in. The zombie was so tall that Rong Yuan could only look up at it!

The Guard Squad Member that Rong Yuan had saved thought to help, but the Earth Element Zombie from before seemed to have it out for him, jumping straight out of the fence from the pile of Ordinary Zombies towards him!

Rong Yuan used his Special Ability to throw something at the Mutated Zombie to find out what type it was, but to his astonishment, it was a Power Element Mutated Zombie!

“Don’t let it get close to you! If it really comes down to it, seek help from someone!”

The Guard Squad Member yelled to Rong Yuan from not far away.

He felt that the chances of survival were slim for the boy in the red coat, so thin and with only one arm, now facing a tall Power Element Mutated Zombie.

Rong Yuan kept silent; he felt he could do it, as long as he wasn’t caught or touched by the zombie.

Roar!

The zombie roared and reached towards Rong Yuan, who quickly jumped away, firing several Metal Spikes at it. However, the spikes only hit the zombie’s waist and abdomen, causing no real damage.

This was a Level Two Power Element Mutated Zombie, and its speed had surpassed Rong Yuan’s. In the end, Rong Yuan could only use one hand to form a Metal Shield to fend off its attacks. The zombie’s strength was so great that although the Metal Shield wasn’t damaged, Rong Yuan holding the shield nearly vomited blood from the impact.

The people on the city wall were extremely anxious, with Ban Xiaobo already running down, and Ren Feipeng anxiously waiting, hoping Ban Xiaobo would arrive in time.

Bang!

Rong Yuan was knocked to the ground by a punch from the Power Element Mutated Zombie. Propping himself up with the elbow of his single hand, he tried to get up immediately, but the zombie pounced faster than he could rise!

Roar roar!

The zombie actually landed on top of Rong Yuan.

Rong Yuan concentrated all his strength into the hand holding the Metal Shield, the shield pressing against the underside of the zombie’s neck, and he could even see the decaying flesh about to fall from the zombie’s mouth.

“Don’t die, man, us brothers are still counting on you to fix our cars!”

Xu Chao’s words echoed in his ears again.

Right, he couldn’t die.

He had just found a place to stay, just met so many people who were kind to him.
