Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Han Xiao and their team also participated in several battles.

Only because Jian Zongzheng felt that it was too dangerous, he did not let Anna and Zhang Xiaoai enter the fray.

Although everyone knew Xia Ying had no special abilities, they discovered during their missions that Xia Ying was not slower at killing zombies than those with abilities; in fact, he often rescued Xia Mufei at critical moments. Thus, it was generally accepted by the team that Xia Ying could join them on the field.

Although Xia Ying did not want to enter the field, he could not find a reason to refuse and eventually followed everyone onto the battlefield “as a matter of course.”

Han Xiao’s water element attacks were still strikingly effective, and now, all the water element ability users at the base knew of Han Xiao’s fighting style, yet not a single one could mimic it.

Han Xiao was clearly proud, but ever since he learned that absorbing too many crystal cores could be harmful and cause side effects, he dared not absorb any more crystal cores. Now, although his special ability power had slightly increased, he still felt the onset of collapse after not too long.

...

Contrary to this was Rong Yuan, who had just been upgraded to a level two metal element ability user.

Although he was only a level two metal element ability user, his extremely precise attacks and those eye-catching metal arms still garnered a lot of admiring glances.

Rong Yuan’s metal arms were not only unafraid of zombie bites and scratches but could also transform into metal spikes that penetrated the zombies’ heads; moreover, the metal arms could change into any shape, even entirely becoming a spiked blade.

Ban Xiaobo and Gao Lei also noticed that Rong Yuan seemed particularly fond of fighting higher-level zombies. Every time they encountered zombies above level two, he became very excited and even intercepted a mutated zombie they were facing.

“This kid has been getting more and more cocky recently,” Gao Lei said to Ban Xiaobo.

Ban Xiaobo continuously attacked the zombies in front of him with his wind blades and said, “How could he not be cocky? He laughs even in his sleep every night!”

Rong Yuan used to sleep in the auto shop, but later, they felt somewhat guilty about it and rented a room for him in the villa.

The past few days, Ban Xiaobo was sleeping next to him and had heard inexplicable laughter several times in the middle of the night. Ban Xiaobo thought Rong Yuan was not sleeping, but upon pushing the door open, he found that the kid was laughing in his sleep!

Who knows what pleasant dreams he was having, especially during a zombie tide!

Zi!

Metal spikes pierced into a zombie’s throat again, and Rong Yuan’s youthful face was full of excitement.

From a short distance away, Li Haochu watched this eye-catching boy, initially drawn just by his metal arms but gradually, he started to notice Rong Yuan’s eyes.

They were the eyes of a wolf.

To him, the zombies in front of him seemed like mere prey, and he was a natural hunter, deftly maneuvering between one target and the next, clinging fiercely to his chosen prey until he had killed it!

This kid, he had potential.

…

After their ability powers were exhausted, Jian Zongzheng and his group did not linger for another battle but directly left the field.

“Eh, why aren’t Xia Mufei and Xia Ying here?”

Anna looked around but couldn’t find the two, and reluctantly put the two bottles of water she brought for them back into her bag.

“I think I just saw Xia Mufei following Xia Ying over there,” Han Xiao pointed in a direction.

“They might have gone to the restroom, let’s go wait for them up in the tower,”

Yin Qiu said, taking a sip of water. He still wanted to watch the battles, as these past two days, he had learned quite a few wind element attacks from the experts on the battlefield.

Jian Zongzheng also agreed, so the group made their way up the stairs.

Xia Mufei indeed followed Xia Ying, but Xia Ying didn’t notice.

Thinking Xia Ying had a new girlfriend, Xia Mufei intentionally lightened his steps and followed at a distance, hoping to scare Xia Ying after the girl left.

Heh, he didn’t expect that Xia Ying, who always seemed so reserved, also had his moments.

It was only when the two started talking on a set of stairs that Xia Mufei stopped.

Just as he was feeling guilty about eavesdropping on a couple’s conversation and was about to move further away, the content of their conversation shocked him on the spot…

————————————————

After the man-eating flowers in the enclosure ate enough zombies, they closed their petals and formed green fruits that fell to the ground, and after fruiting, a bigger man-eating flower appeared on the original stalk and leaves.

The newly grown man-eating flowers seemed to consume zombies even faster.

Su Jin, who unfortunately missed this scene, didn’t see it, but Leang Jiuqing, who was always stationed at the city gate, did.

She immediately had the fallen green fruits collected, although she didn’t know if they would be useful to Su Jin, she thought it best to collect them first.

At this moment, in the deserted Base Hospital, Mao Qiqi was the first to walk out, followed soon by her family appearing in an empty room.

Mrs. Su also had her own office at the Base Hospital; she gave the keys to Su Jin and the others, so they rested there every time because, with the complement of Mao Qiqi’s Mental Element Ability, they only entered the space when no one was around.

“Su Jin!”

From afar, Liang Jiuqing spotted the group walking towards her and shouted at Su Jin, who was at the front.

Before Su Jin could ask what was wrong, Liang Jiuqing pulled her aside excitedly and said, “Su Jin, your mutated plants have fruited! Look!”

Liang Jiuqing pulled out a red plastic bag like she was presenting a treasure, containing several green fruits, which emitted a foul smell from inside out, so she had to put them in a plastic bag.

“Ew, what’s that awful smell?”

Nie Qing covered his nose and stepped back.

Man-eating flower fruits?

Su Jin said it was also her first time seeing them and asked if man-eating flowers even bore fruits?

But what was the use of these fruits?

“Xiao Jin, of course these fruits are useful, they must contain seeds,”

Lu Guanhai pointed out; although he wasn’t a Wood Element Ability user, his love for various plants made him very familiar with the habits of plants.

Seed, germination, blooming, fruiting, back to seed – this was a natural cycle in the plant system.

Su Jin suddenly understood; perhaps in her past life, the man-eating flowers didn’t bear fruit because they hadn’t eaten enough zombies?

The events of the afternoon proved this theory correct, as Su Jin then witnessed the process of two man-eating plants bearing fruit and then blooming anew.

The newly induced man-eating flowers hadn’t shown any signs yet; it seemed they probably hadn’t consumed enough yet.

This discovery thrilled Su Jin for a long time, and it was the first time Liang Jiuqing learned that these huge blooms were the legendary man-eating flowers.
