Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 638 Dragon Ruler

Lu Hao walked in halfway through and just happened to witness the scene, noting how his wife was indeed never idle.

"How’s business?"

Without lifting her head from cutting the fruit, Su Jin asked.

"Not bad, there was a Zombie Tide here a while back. Are you making canned food?"

After washing his hands, Lu Hao reached straight for a piece of cut peach and began eating.

"Mhm, there’s too much fruit, need to top up everyone’s vitamins," Su Jin replied with a smile, thinking about the survivors from several bases who came to work in their Space. She wanted to offer more benefits. In this food-scarce Apocalypse, food was probably the best benefit.

"Let me help you."

Lu Hao brought over a basket of fruit, intending to lend a hand.

He didn’t stop Su Jin from doing these things, believing that even if she was pregnant, her mood was most important. After all, she was supposed to stay alone in the Space; if she wasn’t allowed to do what made her happy, what if it affected her mood?

He remembered a case he dealt with before the Apocalypse, where a mother who had just given birth, struggled with depression and ended up committing suicide with her child in her arms.

"No need, go have your meal. I can manage this easily," Su Jin pushed Lu Hao away, knowing that the family members came in turns to eat and rest, and she didn’t want to delay their precious time.

With no other option, Lu Hao headed to the food-laden kitchen shelves. After being busy for most of the day, he was hungry too.

After Lu Hao left, Lin Xiuyuan and Nie Qing walked in together. Nie Qing looked very excited, having finally experienced what it was like to be the center of attention.

"Girlie, let me tell you, our popularity is really soaring now. I should also come up with a catchy name. Who knows, maybe I’ll become a household name," Nie Qing said while eating fruit.

"Uncle Nie, I think we better not. None of us are any good at picking names; you should just focus on eating," Su Jin said, feeling a tad depressed thinking about her own Zhang Xiaohong. But then, the situation was urgent at that time, and she didn’t have a chance to pull out a dictionary to check for names.

"Uncle Nie, you might as well take my surname; it sounds lovely," said Lin Xiuyuan, who was busy loading his large bowl with food from a common tray on the shelf, still fond of his own name, Dragon Ruler.

Shaking her head, Su Jin couldn’t help but wonder if this guy had spent too much time secretly reading wuxia novels during class.

The canned fruit Su Jin made was sweet and sour, very appetizing. Even Huang Yunxiang couldn’t resist eating a can after it cooled down. And they sold it very cheaply, for just 10 Crystal Cores per can, provided that the can was to be returned.

Once everyone heard that the canned fruit only cost 10 Crystal Cores, the stock Su Jin made in the Space over two or three days sold out in an instant.

The canned fruit had a soft and sticky texture yet with a hint of crunchiness, far from tasting like food that was nearly expired.

"I had a couple of spoonfuls of the canned fruit today and felt energized. I even killed a few extra Zombies," a man said, laughing as he chatted.

"Don’t joke, this canned fruit really does relieve fatigue. I had it in my car for lunch, and right after, I felt much less tired."

"Hahaha, you guys are exaggerating. It’s just fruit, right? Eating it gave you strength?"

"..."

Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying just laughed upon hearing this. After all, Su Jin’s canned fruit was made with water from the well in the Space, so wasn’t it supposed to relieve fatigue?

In the past few days, Cai Jianbin also led everyone to kill many Zombies, returning each day exhausted. But given that Chen Daming and the others were leaving the day after tomorrow, he still wanted to kill as many Zombies as possible.

However, that afternoon Lu Hao stopped him.

"Leave a batch of supplies for us? Why?"

Cai Jianbin asked.

"You’ll help us sell them, and we’ll come to collect the Crystal Cores after a while. If you agree, these bags of supplies will be your reward,"

Lu Hao pointed to the five bags of food on the ground as he spoke.

"Agree, we must agree, boss, we have to agree,"

Qi Liangliang said excitedly, shaking Cai Jianbin’s arm, thinking of the five big bags of food.

Cai Jianbin also had not expected Chen Daming to make such a decision, but this way, they would no longer have to worry about the interruption of supplies, and he had no reason not to agree.

"If you can trust us, we’re more than grateful,"

Cai Jianbin stated.

"It’s not about complete trust, but also about your performance. If you betray us, we’ll never come here again, nor will we ever sell supplies to you,"

Lu Hao spelled out the consequences. Leaving so many supplies behind, he wasn’t entirely at ease, but as the saying goes, with investment comes risk; the Space didn’t lack supplies anyway.

"Rest assured, I will inform everyone about this tomorrow. This is our hometown; we wouldn’t do something as foolish as to cut off our own path,"

Cai Jianbin promised, understanding the consequences of them never selling to them again were not to be risked.

In the past few days, Lin Xiuyuan had even come up with a resounding name for their team: Dragon Ruler. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Lu Hao originally didn’t want to name the team, but Lin Xiuyuan kept mentioning it to everyone, and gradually the name caught on—that team of Zhang Xiaohong and Chen Daming was called Dragon Ruler...

"Brother Long, what places have you guys been to?"

When Dong Junshan came to buy supplies, he casually struck up a conversation with Lin Xiuyuan, who turned out to be called Long Aotian.

"Oh, we’ve been to many places. Except for when it’s blizzarding, and we’re holed up at home, we’ve been pretty much everywhere,"

Lin Xiuyuan said proudly.

"I heard there’s a big base in S City, what’s that like?"

Liu Mu inquired, and Lu Hao glanced at him, remembering that this man used to be from A City’s base. The Base Leader had sent him to capture people, but instead, he decided to come to the industrial park quietly with his Crystal Cores and brothers and settled down.

It seemed this man also knew how to adapt to the times, but since Lu Hao didn’t know much about his character, he refrained from explaining too much.

"There is a big base there, and, I’ve heard, the strongest SS-ranked team in the country comes from there,"

Lin Xiuyuan answered with a smile.

"There’s an SS rank? That’s new to me,"

"Yeah, seems like there are many places outside we haven’t been to,"

"Oh come on, take care of yourselves first before thinking about traveling elsewhere~"

"..."

Liu Mu continued to chat with Lin Xiuyuan for a while, and it was clear he was curious about the outside world, but everyone was right—you should look after yourself first before thinking about going to other places.

However, after this, whether intentionally or not, the name Dragon Ruler began to slowly spread among the survivors of the Apocalypse.

It was said to be a supplier of supplies in the Apocalypse, traveling across the country and selling the collected supplies to survivors at various bases at low prices.

No one knew where the team came from or where they would go next. They had no fixed home, yet they were very popular. Wherever they went, they caused a commotion...
