Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 369 - Three Hundred and Sixty-Nine: Rescue
Chapter 369: Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Nine: Rescue
“When have I ever lied about anything? That’s what the young couple said,” Dr. Pei stated.
“The doors here are locked at night; how would they get in? Let alone take us out”
Fang Zhengyang also expressed his disbelief. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Dr. Pei; rather, he didn’t trust the two individuals Dr. Pei was talking about.
Another man, slightly shorter in height, also paced restlessly in front of them.
He had been longing to leave this place for a long time. Today, when Pei Yuan notified him, he was overjoyed, but as the night deepened and the two people hadn’t arrived yet, he couldn’t help feeling anxious.
“Could those two have gotten lost?”
The man muttered, stroking his chin.
“Yingjie, stop pacing. Save your strength, we might need to run for our lives later!” Dr. Pei said.
Although they had food and shelter here, the meals provided were pitifully meager, with only some thin porridge and dry crackers twice a day.
For dinner that day, they had only consumed the thin porridge, keeping the dry crackers in their pockets, along with some other dry rations they had been saving. If they were really going to be rescued, they couldn’t continue to rely on others for sustenance, could they?
After hearing this, Ren Yingjie actually sat down.
After a while, they indeed heard a gentle knock on the door.
Looking at each other in surprise, Ren Yingjie was the quickest to react and went to open the door.
But there was no one outside.
“Dr. Pei”
Lu Hao’s deep voice sounded at the doorway, startling Ren Yingjie so much that he almost shouted.
Lu Hao quickly covered Ren Yingjie’s mouth and then released the Local Tyrant Gold.
“Mmm mmm mmm!”
How had a person suddenly materialized out of nowhere?!
As soon as Lu Hao and Su Jin entered, they promptly closed the door behind them.
“You two…”
Looking at the man and woman who appeared inside the door, Dr. Pei recognized the man, and the young girl was holding a cute little monkey. They were here to rescue them?
Dr. Pei was both surprised and shocked; had these two really just barged in?!
“This monkey’s Invisibility Ability will make you invisible if you hold onto it. We’ll explain more later,” Lu Hao quickly explained.
Despite their full hearts of questions, at that moment they were overjoyed and cooperated without further queries.
“We can only take one person at a time, we need to hurry,” Su Jin told the group.
“Alright, whoever can be taken is a blessing. We appreciate your help,” Pei Yuan said politely.
“Who’s going to start?” Su Jin asked.
“Elder Pei, you go first,” Tan Yiran suggested.
“Yeah, yeah, young lady, please take Elder Pei out first,” Fang Zhengyang also said.
“You… you are all younger than me, you should go first,”
Pei Yuan attempted to refuse.
“No, no, no, Elder Pei, you’re far more useful to us than we are. You go ahead,” Ren Yingjie said urgently.
Su Jin & Lu Hao: “…”
“We know you care about each other, but don’t worry, we won’t leave anyone behind,”
Su Jin said with a smile and then gestured for Pei Yuan to grab the little hand of the Local Tyrant Gold.
Seeing that everyone was insistent, Pei Yuan sighed and, somewhat choked up, took the hand of the Local Tyrant Gold.
Seeing the three vanish before his eyes, Tan Yiran and the others still found it hard to believe. Ren Yingjie even rubbed his eyes. They were really invisible!!
“This is unscientific!” Fang Zhengyang murmured…
Pei Yuan did not realize that the little monkey could only make two people invisible at a time; he thought that Lu Hao was also invisible, just out of sight.
Actually, Lu Hao had just hidden inside a space, which was also part of the plan he had with Su Jin. Upon getting outside, Su Jin would be able to pull him out of the space.
Pei Yuan was also experiencing this kind of situation for the first time. Although he had prepared mentally, he was still somewhat nervous.
“Dr. Pei, we have someone on the outside to meet us, don’t worry,”
Su Jin was already accustomed to her state of invisibility, but she could still hear the rapid breathing of Dr. Pei beside her.
“Okay, okay, thank you,”
Pei Yuan continued to follow Su Jin forward, his right hand holding a furry little hand, while his arm was pulled by Su Jin, both ensuring they wouldn’t easily lose each other.
The patrolling guards must have moved on to the area above, so until Su Jin and Pei Yuan reached the window they had entered through, those men had not reappeared.
This window was a passageway left by Lian Jiyue’s people, always closed on a daily basis, and because it was tucked away in a corner on the side of the hall, nobody had noticed that it had been opened from the inside today.
“Lin Xiuyuan~”
Su Jin called out of the window.
“Here, here, here,”
Lin Xiuyuan hurriedly stood up from the darkness, his legs numb from squatting outside.
Seeing Su Jin bringing over Dr. Pei, whom he had seen during the day, he quickly used his Ice-Element Special Abilities to create two Ice Ladders inside and outside the window, one leading up and the other down. He had already made them rough and uneven, so they weren’t very slippery.
Pei Yuan, without pause for surprise, was helped up by Su Jin and then assisted down by Lin Xiuyuan outside…
Meanwhile, Su Jin, holding Local Tyrant Gold, quickly made her way back along the original path inside.
Three more to go.
Hopefully, they all go as smoothly as just now.
Lin Xiuyuan then took Pei Yuan to a car hidden in a dark corner.
“Dr. Pei, there’s some food and drinks in the car, please don’t be shy, help yourself as much as you’d like. I’ll go back to my post now,”
Lin Xiuyuan said to Pei Yuan, who had already settled into the car.
“Ah, thank you!”
Pei Yuan said his thanks. He had not planned to eat the young people’s supplies, expecting them to be merely some dry rations. Instead, he felt something soft beside the seat.
!!!
Why does this shape feel so much like a chicken leg?
Su Jin had not yet called Lu Hao out of the space. She hadn’t expected that using Local Tyrant Gold’s Special Ability for this would be so simple.
The remaining three were also waiting anxiously in the laboratory.
After the door was knocked, the young girl walked in and asked, “The second one?”
The second one, Tan Yiran, was pushed out by Fang Zhengyang and Ren Yingjie.
Tan Yiran wanted to say something to the two men, but the young girl had already dragged him outside.
“We’ll talk outside, while there’s nobody around,” Su Jin said.
Tan Yiran nodded and quickly followed.
Meanwhile, Nie Qing, after setting up the Formation on the rooftop of Cen Chu’s courtyard, came down only to find that Mao Qiqi, who had been waiting downstairs, had disappeared.
“Where’s the young girl who came with me?”
Nie Qing asked Cen Chu, who was waiting downstairs.

“She just ran off by herself, said she’d be right back,” Cen Chu replied.
Indeed, the young girl had been looking in one direction before telling him that she needed to go out for a bit.
Hearing that it was Mao Qiqi who had gone out by herself, Nie Qing felt a bit more at ease.
“Wait, what would she be doing out there all alone in the middle of the night?”
The more Nie Qing thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. In his anxiety, he remembered the space.
He used the bathroom in the courtyard to slip into the space, where he found Lin Tianzhen who told him, “Qiqi said she noticed a little blue dot on her map flickering nonstop, so she wanted to check it out. Before I could ask her, she was gone.”
Nie Qing nodded and reassured, “Qiqi probably won’t run off rashly. I’ll wait for her outside. Let me know if there’s news.”
