Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 660: Hallucination

In the video, a figure looked around cautiously before starting to use his Space Element Ability to take small bags of Crystal Cores from the outside. He then opened the original large bag of Crystal Cores packaging and poured those small bags into it.

After completing all this, he moved to the pile of supplies that Chen Daming had brought out today, greedily touching each bag of food before taking the top bag of food into his own space.

The camera focused on the front of the figure, capturing a satisfied smile on the face of the figure’s owner.

It was Yang Xingye.

"Uncle Yang? How could it be him?"

Xiang Sanjin asked in disbelief.

"He is a Space Element Ability User? He had never shown it before."

Tian Yongyi also couldn’t believe it, but the evidence in the video left him with no choice but to believe it.

Seeing this, Lu Hao shook his head. Since the Apocalypse, although their abilities had grown, their observational skills remained unchanged.

"How did you manage to film this, there are guards in the warehouse?"

Guan Shouzhong inquired.

Seeing that someone finally brought up this question, Lu Hao felt a bit relieved and seriously answered, "You don’t need to fuss over this. All I can tell you is that there is an ability called Invisibility Ability in this world. Such ability users are few and far between. We happen to have one in our team, but it’s not convenient to disclose."

"Invisibility? Does it mean that the person can’t be seen?"

Tian Yongyi asked in surprise.

"Exactly, but you don’t have to worry. We have no malicious intentions. We just had some doubts about the character of the man called Yang Xingye who came to provoke us this morning,"

Lu Hao explained.

Now recalling the Yang Xingye in the video, the three persons, who were just impacted by the information on the Invisibility Ability User, felt deeply struck. The people of Dragon Ruler suspected Uncle Yang based just on a few provoking words. They had been with Uncle Yang for so long without noticing...

"He is a habitual offender. I suggest that you control him for now. If you have inventory books for previous stock movements in your warehouse, it would be best to take them out and check everything. You’ve lost far more than just the Crystal Cores,"

Lu Hao thought about the chubby Yang Xingye. It wasn’t that he looked down on overweight people, but being that fat during the Apocalypse was suspicious enough. They had traveled to many places and seen many people, and he was probably the fattest...

"Yes!"

Tian Yongyi answered instinctively and then, realizing that he was now facing Chen Daming, embarrassingly smiled.

"I almost mistook you for my former team leader."

Tian Yongyi’s explanation made Lu Hao pause for a moment; the former team leader, wasn’t that him?

"Cough cough, it’s good that you now know the truth. Your rule of not using ability users is good, but if people hide their Special Ability User identity, it actually becomes a huge loophole,"

Su Xiangzhe quickly tried to smooth things over, relieved that the trio held no further suspicions.

"Rest assured, I will handle this matter properly,"

Guan Shouzhong stood up and said.

His mood was also not very good at the moment. The matter with Yang Xingye visibly affected him; he wanted to immediately ask him why he had done that.

"Also, don’t forget about the people around him and those who are close to him,"

Lu Hao remembered the person who had previously shown great respect to Yang Xingye, just a warehouse manager but someone people were willing to flatter, which was an issue worth noting.

"May I ask, what did you do before?"

Guan Shouzhong couldn’t help but ask, and not just Tian Yongyi; even Chen Daming’s tone and thoroughness made him momentarily think of Lu Hao.

"Him? He used to be a driver, hahaha"

Lu Guanhai quickly answered for Lu Hao. Xiao Hao was not good at lying, so it was better for him to answer.

"..."

The family held back their laughter as they saw off Guan Shouzhong and the others, with Lu Hao, their driver. They really found it hard to imagine, but then again, Lu Hao often acted as the driver nowadays.

"But who would have thought, that bald guy turned out to be a Space Element Ability User."

Lin Xiuyuan found it amusing. They had been on guard against Space Element Ability Users day and night, yet they still managed to get duped by one.

"Just don’t know how many Crystal Cores that Space Element Ability User has swallowed, but luckily we had Qiqi yesterday, otherwise we might not have even counted those Crystal Cores."

Nie Qing also felt fortunate, and in a way, they were actually quite lucky.

"We would have counted them anyway."

Lu Hao said, noting that there were too many inconsistencies about Yang Yongxin. Even if Qiqi hadn’t been there, he would have checked the man out.

"This base is somewhat complicated, but I guess that’s normal in the Apocalypse."

Su Xiangzhe sighed, realizing they had only been there for two or three days and had already encountered so many people and events. No wonder Xiang Sanjin had mentioned their Base Leader was exhausted.

...

The next afternoon, the family in the side yard received an invitation from Xiang Sanjin to visit the central management office of the base first, as it seemed the matter with Yang Xingye had been resolved.

"That fast?"

Nie Qing put down his chess pieces. Recently, he had picked up the game of chess with Su Xiangzhe. Though it wasn’t as fast-paced as playing cards, it had its own charm.

"Our Base Leader is quite action-oriented, he stayed up all night sorting it out."

Xiang Sanjin said with a smile, though the dark circles under his eyes suggested he might have stayed up too.

"Tsk tsk, managing this base seems pretty exhausting."

Lin Cheng commented as he walked behind.

"Yeah, exhausting, and it’s the unpaid kind too, purely for the love of it, hahaha."

Xiang Sanjin’s joke was humorous but it also made everyone feel a bit sad; no wonder Xiao Hao wanted to help these people.

When the family saw Yang Xingye again, he seemed still to be in a dazed state, with various materials and Crystal Cores around and behind him, occupying half the room.

"Not just here, the next two rooms are filled too."

The young man who had been with Tian Yongyi shook his head, surprised at how greedy such a small warehouse manager could be.

"Two rooms full?! Tsk tsk tsk, he must have swallowed quite a bit himself; no wonder he got so fat."

Lin Xiuyuan commented.

"Why did he confess so easily?"

Lu Hao found it strange, especially how he took everything out of his space straightforwardly.

"Since you told us about the Invisibility Ability User, I can also show you this."

Guan Shouzhong, feeling good about gaining the upper hand, said cheerfully.

"What is this?"

Huang Yunxiang asked curiously.

"Hallucinogen. It makes him immerse in fantasies, thus making him comply with our demands,"

Guan Shouzhong explained.

"Extracted from a mutant ferret?"

Lu Hao asked.

Just when Guan Shouzhong had felt he was gaining an advantage, he suddenly felt defeated again. How did he know?
