Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 637: Greatly Welcomed

"Yeah, yeah, come on in, come on in, everyone, don’t block the way here, or we might attract zombies. Just go inside!"

Cai Jianbin spoke loudly. Although they had cleared out the zombies within a dozen kilometers nearby, due to the low number of survivors remaining in City A, the number of zombies was still quite considerable.

So, the family’s car was ushered in by a large crowd. Lin Tianhui had never known that they were so popular here, even though they now all wore ordinary faces, these people were happier than pre-apocalypse fans chasing celebrities.

"Isn’t this a bit... exaggerated?"

Lin Tianhui murmured.

"That’s because you haven’t seen them before. When we first came here, there were people eating mud to survive,"

Su Xiangzhe sighed as he pulled out the car keys. Actually, seeing that these people were still doing okay in this industrial park, he also felt relieved. They had worried about this place during the blizzard at the S City base, because this wasn’t exactly a formal major base.

Lin Cheng also walked down with a nostalgic look alongside Huang Yunxiang. His Earth Element Level Five had already successfully advanced. This place they had discovered a few months ago had now developed to a certain scale.

"Old man, you’re here again, are you selling those pancakes this time?"

Someone in the crowd asked Lin Yunguo as he got out of the car.

Lin Yunguo’s face broke into a happy smile, "Sell, sell, of course I’ll sell if you’re willing to buy!"

"Look at what you’re saying, I’ve been looking forward to your and Auntie’s pancakes and stewed meat all winter, why wouldn’t I buy?"

People continued in the crowd, making Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying feel they had gained a lot of face.

Seeing the elderly couple looking this way, Lin Tianhui was also very pleased. No wonder they had been looking forward to going out; they hadn’t forgotten to fiddle with old clothes in the Space for a long time, preferring to dress a bit shabbily, rather than coming out looking sprightly and alert, quite professional indeed.

"Da Ming, this time you’re here..."

Cai Jianbin nervously asked beside Lu Hao, with Xiaohong not coming, then the supplies...

"Don’t worry, we’ll sell,"

Lu Hao’s words made everyone around him involuntarily excited. Now they were reassured, and some were even eager to get ready their Crystal Cores.

The family found that the place where they sold supplies and rested last time had not been touched by those people, but was kept as it was, clearly cleaned often, without even a speck of dust on the tables and benches.

Xiao Zhen felt a little sad; her beloved Sister Xiaohong had not come. However, she received a large box of books and pens from Huang Yunxiang, including some notebooks with blessings written by Sister Xiaohong herself, one even had her name specifically added.

So, Sister Xiaohong still remembered her. After the initial disappointment, Xiao Zhen was suddenly moved again. She was determined to live on well.

Throughout the day, Lu Hao also got a general idea about the current situation in City A from Cai Jianbin. It was more or less what Su Jin and the others had expected, only the reality was even grimmer, and now there seemed to be only this safe place in the whole City A.

"Before and after the blizzard a while back, yes, we did lose some people, but overall, it was still good," said Cai Jianbin. "At least, no one died of starvation or freezing."

"It seems that the defenses here are quite good, and you’ve almost rebuilt it to look decent,"

Lin Xiuyuan said after making a round.

"Thanks to your blessings, we plan to transform this place into A City’s new safety base,"

Seeing that Chen Daming and the others had already started preparing to display their merchandise for sale, Cai Jianbin quickly called some people over to help.

"We’ll probably stay here for about five days, so don’t worry about us, just get the Crystal Cores ready,"

Lu Hao stated, and given the number of people here, five days was more than enough.

Cai Jianbin nodded, and seeing that the group had no intention of resting, he let everyone waiting downstairs go and prepare.

The teams that had worked hard to obtain Crystal Cores were thrilled, with many teams leaving only a few people in the industrial park while the rest, who had some combat ability, were taken out to kill zombies.

Those who thought Zhang Xiaohong and the others wouldn’t come regretted it immensely. Fortunately, they had saved some Crystal Cores, and with five more days, the industrial park became unprecedentedly empty.

Even a last-minute effort was useful, they thought; they could exchange for a few more pounds of food. Missing this opportunity, they didn’t know how long they’d have to wait for the next one.

"Tell everyone that safety is the most important. The past few months have seen a longer interval due to the blizzard, but going forward, if no natural disasters occur, we should be coming on schedule,"

Lu Hao told Cai Jianbin. The human population in the post-apocalyptic world was already drastically dwindling, and newborns were rare. Although they were acting in mutual need now, they didn’t want people to risk their lives for a few pounds of food.

"Really? There’s such a thing as coming on schedule?"

Qi Liangliang, who was about to head out, overheard Chen Daming’s words and immediately felt guilty for his previous doubts.

Lu Hao nodded. He hadn’t mentioned that if this place became sizable, they planned to leave a batch of supplies with the people of the base to sell, just as they had done in F City’s base. Next time, they would only need to collect Crystal Cores upon arrival.

This arrangement would also reduce the risk of the base running out of supplies.

While her family was selling supplies outside, Su Jin was also busy in the Space. She found that after three months of pregnancy, she indeed wasn’t as lazy as she had been at the beginning.

After getting enough sleep every day, she’d take a walk by the creek to see Labi and play with the little animals in the Space. Then she would start harvesting the crops using her wood element ability.

She didn’t realize until she started harvesting how much produce had accumulated in the Space, which, aside from eggs, turned out to be fruits.

The vegetables Lu Guanhai grew would not age or spoil even if not harvested after maturing, whereas ripe fruits on trees would naturally fall off and then begin another cycle of fruiting. Thus, Su Jin simply used her consciousness to pick up the fruits that had fallen to the ground and stored them in the Lu Residence’s warehous.

She had Local Tyrant Gold to thank for this. After eating fruits, it nonchalantly threw away the pits, resulting in the original dozen or so fruit trees multiplying to hundreds. The trees in the Space were especially high-yielding. Looking at a whole warehouse full of fruit, Su Jin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Yet, she dared not sell such fresh fruits directly. Recalling Lin Yunguo’s method, Su Jin started cutting fruits in her spare time to make canned fruit for sale.

The tangible wood element ability was very useful. Su Jin simply used one vine to hold the fruit knife, and another vine to handle the fruit, while she herself only had to pour the cut fruit into the pot.
