Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 665: Setting Off to Find the Granary

A store that could supply materials was not something every base had; it seemed only their Heart Talk Team’s S City base had one.

Xiang Sanjin sighed continuously after hearing this, "If only we had a store like that here."

He knew the Heart Talk Store Lin Xiuyuan mentioned was actually run by their Heart Talk Team since they lived in the S City base, but it was different here; the Heart Talk Team would only be helping here temporarily.

However, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had thoughts of his own. Lin Xiuyuan felt that opening another Heart Talk Store in this base was totally feasible, but they lacked manpower, and supplying materials was inconvenient.

"We could just work behind the scenes and lease it to Guan Shouzhong and his team,"

Su Jin proposed.

After Lin Xiuyuan came back, he shared the idea with his family. Su Jin felt they didn’t need to station their own people here; Guan Shouzhong and his team were trustworthy enough to be the front-runners while they could be the background suppliers.

"What does leasing mean?"

Nie Qing asked, puzzled.

"It means letting others run the store while we just supply the goods and collect the supply funds,"

Lin Cheng explained, having been a contractor himself before, he thought Su Jin’s proposal was quite good.

"What if they run out of items in their store and we can’t supply the materials quickly enough?"

Huang Yunxiang raised this problem. A store that supplied materials had a large demand for goods.

"Teleportation Array, there’s one that hasn’t been used yet,"

Su Jin said with a smile, after the last upgrade to their space abilities, there was a Teleportation Array that was still idle because they couldn’t find a safe and suitable place to reset it, so it was temporarily left unused.

"I think it’s feasible, but we’ll have to wait for Xiao Hao to come back and discuss it further. Even if we lease it to them, we need the right person to act as the middleman, and we haven’t found such a person yet,"

Su Xiangzhe analyzed.

None of the three people in Guan Shouzhong’s team were Space Element Ability users, and as they never trusted Space Element Ability Users, they didn’t have such people around; as for their family, they definitely couldn’t stay here either.

"Hmm, no rush, we have days ahead of us. If push comes to shove, it’s only Uncle Nie’s storage bag,"

Su Jin also thought of this, but if possible, she still didn’t want to leave Nie Qing’s storage bag here; having a storage bag along their journey was very convenient for their family.

Lu Hao was busy for a day in Guan Shouzhong’s office. He never knew that being a base leader was so complicated. Luckily they were just a free and independent team.

"Tomorrow we’ll go here,"

Lu Hao pointed at the map on the table, indicating a food storage warehouse in H Province. He felt it would be a complete waste not to retrieve the materials there.

"We have sent people there three times before; none have returned, losing over a hundred people," freёweɓnovel.com

And they were all Special Ability Users. Guan Shouzhong recalled the past incident with some heartache; it was likely his mistake in decision-making, which reduced his prestige in the base ever since.

"Leave it to us, fifty thousand Crystal Cores,"

Lu Hao unapologetically named his price.

He had seen the base’s financial statements; being a base leader was annoying, but it really did earn a lot of Crystal Cores, just the rent alone brought in a large number of Crystal Cores every day.

Guan Shouzhong nearly choked on his tea. Could this really be Captain Lu?

In the past, although Captain Lu might not have treated money as dirt, he never haggled over money. Was this man, asking him for Crystal Cores to his face, really the same Captain Lu from before?

Still, he quickly agreed.

Not to mention that the reward for completing the mission was fifty thousand Crystal Cores, even if he had to give Captain Lu fifty thousand Crystal Cores for free, he was willing.

"There’s one condition,"

Guan Shouzhong looked at Lu Hao as he spoke.

Seeing Lu Hao signal him to continue, Guan Shouzhong grinned widely: "I want to go with you."

This was his Captain Lu, how could he allow the captain to undertake dangerous missions outside while he sat comfortably inside the base?

So no matter how dangerous the place was, he would join them.

"Sure, just don’t hold us back,"

Lu Hao raised an eyebrow as he spoke; he had never teamed up with Guan Shouzhong to kill zombies before. If Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin were with him, he wouldn’t worry at all, but this kid... if he couldn’t cope, he could just stay in the car the whole time, Lu Hao thought.

On the contrary, Guan Shouzhong was extremely excited internally; he was going to kill zombies with Captain Lu! He must perform well and let Captain Lu see his strength since the Apocalypse. Maybe this time he could truly impress Captain Lu!

When Lu Hao returned to his residence, he also agreed with Su Jin’s proposal, but he also felt the lack of the right person was an issue.

"Don’t worry for now, I’ll discuss it with them later. Actually, as long as we can ensure the store’s safety, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have a Space Element Ability User,"

Lu Hao said. They had visited that warehouse; such a large space could hold a lot of items. The three of them didn’t trust Space Element Ability Users, and they had their reasons. If they were to open a store there, it wouldn’t be a big deal even without a Space Element Ability User.

"Xiao Hao, you really need to find a way to get it started here; the future of my grandchildren depends on you!"

Lu Guanhai patted Lu Hao’s shoulder as a reminder.

"Dad, you’re thinking too far ahead,"

Lu Hao held his forehead. Ever since Su Jin got pregnant, Lu Guanhai had become especially keen on collecting Crystal Cores, constantly saying that the space ability in the Lu Family started in his generation, and he felt it was his duty to pass on this ability from generation to generation in the Lu Family.

Lin Xiuyuan leaned in next to Su Jin and whispered, "Tsk tsk, you’ve got two men working to earn money for you as soon as you got pregnant, both old and young, how does it feel? I am really envious."

"Envious? Why don’t you try being pregnant and you’ll know,"

Su Jin glared at Lin Xiuyuan and spoke irritably. It was easy for him to say, standing there without a care—she was actually very afraid of the day of childbirth. Although she did not suffer much from pregnancy symptoms, the terrifying scenes of women giving birth in TV dramas made her incredibly worried.

"I’d love to, but my abilities do not permit it,"

Lin Xiuyuan said helplessly. Actually, being a happy little woman would be so nice, loved by the entire family and able to give birth to new life, unlike men who are naturally doomed to a life of toil!

Thus, feeling he was doomed to a life of toil, Lin Xiuyuan was also assigned a task the next day, to protect the safety of the three people in Guan Shouzhong’s team.

"What? All three of them are going too?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked as he pointed at the three excitedly climbing onto the minibus.

"Yeah, they’re leading the way,"

Lu Hao’s words stung the hearts of the three in the car for a long time. They were determined to perform impressively for the captain—did Captain Lu really see them just as pathfinders?
