Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 325 - : Joint Venture Farm
Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Joint Venture Farm
Even before the apocalypse, only a few people had seen such a thing, let alone now.
Huang Yunxiang had grown up in the countryside.
She had once seen a water ghost that someone had caught by the river in her hometown; it had almost brought the whole village out to watch, and she was among the onlookers. The water ghost really looked like a human, with arms and legs, and even a short-necked head, but because its face was so ugly, many frightened children were reduced to tears.
After seeing it, she too felt a chill down her spine for quite a while, and the giant mutant water ghost in front of her now looked even uglier.
At this moment, the giant water ghost crouched not far below the railing was rapidly crawling toward the people!
The family didn’t have time to be disgusted and scattered away from the railing.
...
Bang!
The water ghost actually leaped from the riverbank below, shattering a row of cement railings!
“It’s so ugly, ahh, I can’t take it anymore,”
Nie Qing felt he couldn’t bear to look directly at the mutant animal any longer.
Before the apocalypse, the water ghost also had a nickname: “water demon.” In rural areas with rivers, to prevent children from swimming in the river too often, the elderly would warn that a water demon in the river would drag people under. This wasn’t entirely fabricated—their tales of water demons were largely based on these water ghosts.
The water ghost’s head was also covered with long hair, which at first glance could be mistaken for a woman’s hair, but that indescribably ugly face quickly made everyone feel zombies were more pleasant to look at.
However, at this moment, everyone couldn’t afford to be disgusted, as the water ghost that had come ashore was quickly crawling toward them!
Lin Cheng was the first to erect a stone wall in front of it, but it agilely leaped over that one-meter-high wall!
Lin Xiuyuan, who wanted to freeze its limbs to the ground, found that its limbs were extraordinarily strong; it broke free before the frost could form and solidify.
Its speed was fast, but the family’s speed was even faster. Although everyone was hurling their special abilities at it, its skin seemed too thick; neither wind blades nor metal spikes could cause it any real harm.
Seeing that it couldn’t catch these people, the water ghost embraced a tree by the roadside and, roots and all, pulled it out of the ground and hurled it at the crowd!
“Dad! Paralyze it with your Thunder Element Ability!”

As Su Jin shouted, she formed several thick vines and smashed them toward the water ghost!
Su Xiangzhe nodded, and several thunder balls hit its body at the same time.
Since the mutant water ghost seemed to have just emerged from the water, accompanied by the mud on its body, the thunder made its entire body crackle and snap!
Seeing this tactic was effective, Su Xiangzhe threw a few more thunder balls!
A muffled sound followed, as the water ghost opened its wide mouth filled with sharp fangs at Su Xiangzhe, spitting out a clump of murky liquid!
Although Su Xiangzhe successfully dodged it, Lin Xiuyuan still raised an ice wall at his standing position, which was immediately corroded by the liquid on its surface.
Accompanied by a putrid smell, Su Jin used the vines to tightly bind its two hind legs together, yet it still tried to tear off the vines from its legs using its remaining hands!
Knowing the great strength of its arms, no one gave it a chance to breathe. Mao Zhihang took the opportunity to plunge a metal spike into its right eye.
“Ahh, ahh~”
The water ghost screamed in agony, and at that moment, Lu Hao drew his Tang Sword and fiercely chopped at its exposed abdomen!
Thump.
The water ghost’s abdomen was sliced open, revealing a long gash that oozed thick greenish blood and brought a fetid stench with it.
Ugh…
Several people couldn’t help but retch on the spot, while Nie Qing covered her nose and waved a breeze forward.
Yet the water ghost was still struggling. Su Jin controlled the vines on its legs, the sharp ends creeping towards its head, and finally, they pierced into it viciously!
With a muffled thud, the mutant water ghost finally lay on the ground, motionless.
“It’s dead,”
Mao Qiqi said, covering her nose.
Despite the foul stench that was almost unbearable, Su Jin still used the vines to dig out the Beast Core from its head.
The Beast Core was not small, about 20 centimeters in size. Huang Yunxiang and Lin Tianzhen used their Water ability to release a large amount of water, which finally cleaned it off.
Feeling disgusted, Su Jin waved the Beast Core directly into her Space.
Let the Space absorb it…
She didn’t want to touch it anymore.
“Let’s get out of here, it stinks,” Lin Xiuyuan ran towards the two vehicles.
Facing the broken stone bridge, Lin Cheng used his Earth Element Ability to repair and smooth the road surface, then reinforced it a bit before signaling that it was safe to cross.
Still uncertain about the murky water below, Su Jin simply stored the vehicles temporarily in her Space, then she crossed the bridge on foot with everyone.
“Phew, that nearly stank me to death,”
Lu Guanhai gasped only after getting into the car; he felt that if he opened his mouth outside, the stench would fill it. He couldn’t understand why the mutant water ghost smelt so vile.
Although Su Xiangzhe didn’t say much, as soon as he got into the car, he quickly drove away from the area.
They didn’t even bother to kill the zombies that lunged at them from the roadside, and followed the direction Mao Zhihang pointed, driving on.
The map showed that the farm was close to the river, but it still took the vehicles almost half an hour to get there. Su Jin was somewhat relieved they hadn’t taken a detour, as the actual route could vary greatly from what was shown on a map.
Although the farm was located beside a narrow road, it was quite remote, so there were no zombies around. After dealing with a dozen zombies that followed the vehicles, they noticed a few more staggering in the distance, but nobody felt like waiting around for those to come closer.
After Mao Zhihang opened the iron gate of the farm, Su Xiangzhe and Lin Cheng drove straight in.
Beside the iron gate, there was a standing lightbox sign with “Futian Joint Farm” written on it—this was undoubtedly the place mentioned in the flyers.
Before entering, Mao Qiqi had already confirmed that aside from a zombie dog in the yard, there were no more mutant or zombie animals, and inside the farm, there were 6 zombies. Beyond that, there were no other creatures.
“Pretty clean,”
Su Jin commented, after using a wooden spike on the ground to penetrate the zombie dog’s head.
It was already getting late, and the group decided to settle there for the night, regardless of finding seeds or not. After all, there was nobody for miles around, and entering their Space here would be safe.
