Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 668 Trap

"Are we close to the warehouse we’re headed to?"

Mao Qiqi suddenly asked.

"Yes, do you see that slope up ahead? Once we climb over it, we’ll be very close to the warehouse,"

Guan Shouzhong replied.

"There’s a mutated zombie on top of the slope, and many zombies below it,"

Mao Qiqi warned.

"What does that mean?"

Lu Guanhai asked, puzzled. One mutated zombie, many mutated zombies, why wouldn’t they be together but instead separated?

"Tian Yongyi, stop the car,"

Lu Hao suddenly said.

Tian Yongyi, who was about to reach the slope, immediately hit the brakes, although he didn’t understand why Lu Hao would say so.

"Lin Xiuyuan, come with me to take a look,"

Lu Hao continued.

"Sure thing!"

Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t wait to see what was happening ahead. They could clearly hear the zombies’ growling, but why couldn’t they see any of them?

"Be careful,"

Su Jin couldn’t help but remind them, even though she knew both had the ability to protect themselves.

The two nodded and slowly got out of the car, walking towards the slope ahead.

The slope was too steep, so they couldn’t see what was on the other side at all. They could only hear the zombies’ roars getting louder and louder without seeing a single one.

"This is too weird,"

Lin Xiuyuan had never encountered such a situation before.

"The zombies behind us must have been trapped,"

Lu Hao said.

Lin Xiuyuan felt that what Lu Hao said made sense, otherwise, those zombies wouldn’t be so close yet invisible.

But when they reached the top, they were shocked by the scene before them.

Beyond the slope was a steep downhill, and the road down was covered in ice, forming a slippery pathway. At the bottom of the slope was a huge pit filled with countless zombies howling, but the walls of the pit were also covered in ice, making it impossible for them to climb out.

On the right side of the path, a mutated zombie was firmly encased in concrete, with only its arms and everything above exposed.

"Well, I only want to say well done, this is an unsolvable trap,"

Lin Xiuyuan dared not take another step forward. If they had not stopped the car but continued driving up the slope, sliding down the ice would mean being torn to pieces by the zombies in the pit below!

Who set up this damn trap!

Roar!

The zombie trapped in the concrete threw two ice spikes at them, clearly desperate to break free and attack the two men standing just beside it, but its lower half was completely immobilized.

Lu Hao casually threw a fireball at the ice-element zombie, getting rid of it instantly.

After the ice-element zombie was burnt to ashes by the flames, the slick layer of ice on the pathway also disappeared.

It seemed that it was trapped there for a reason, and its disappearance meant the abilities affecting the road and walls vanished too.

The people in the car, seeing the pair on the slope just standing at the very top without walking further down, also realized something.

"Captain Lu, what’s going on ahead?"

Xiang Sanjin asked anxiously, standing by the car door.

"It’s a man-made trap. If we had kept going, we might have fallen into a deep pit with more than twenty thousand zombies by now,"

Lu Hao repeated to everyone what he and Lin Xiuyuan had just witnessed.

"I get it, someone wanted to monopolize that warehouse, so they set up traps along the way. No matter whether it’s zombies or humans, they would all fall into that deep pit,"

Nie Qing said.

Nie Qing’s words made everyone inside the vehicle feel a chill down their spine. Who could be so cruel?

"There are quite a few abandoned cars down in the deep pit,"

Lu Hao looked at Guan Shouzhong and said, the implication clear.

"Does that mean the groups I sent before probably all fell into traps set by someone else?"

Guan Shouzhong watched ahead in disbelief. If that were the case, he had to find the culprit at all costs!

"There’s no one,"

Just then, Mao Qiqi suddenly said.

There was no human presence near the warehouse ahead.

"They’ve probably turned into zombies. Let’s go down and take a look,"

Su Jin said. She was also curious to see just how large the pit was that so many zombies, even mutated ones, couldn’t climb out.

"Xiao Jin, lend me the Mysterious Fire Fan,"

Lu Hao thought of this solution. The numerous zombies down in the pit looked terrifying, but they were also very tempting. With the Mysterious Fire Fan, they wouldn’t need to expend much effort.

Xiang Sanjin watched wide-eyed as Su Jin handed Lu Hao an exquisitely delicate and quaint fan, although he didn’t know what it was, he still followed the family’s team.

"Oh my, I’m getting goosebumps,"

Huang Yunxiang walked to the highest point and looked down into the deep pit.

What kind of person could have dug out such a massive pit!

"Just now, there was an ice-element zombie trapped here. I guess the ice on the ground and the ice walls on the sides were all made by it,"

Lu Hao pointed to the ashes where only a Crystal Core remained and said.

"Impossible, zombies follow orders?"

Lin Cheng always felt like something was off. How could an ice-element zombie obediently set traps as planned by the trap-setter?

"Zombies don’t follow orders, but a Special Ability User does,"

Su Jin answered.

That meant the ice-element zombie used to be an ice-element Special Ability User who, after setting up the trap, was mercilessly buried alive in cement by his own companions, then forced to turn into an ice-element zombie.

"Those two vehicles below,"

Guan Shouzhong didn’t want to keep his eyes open to continue looking. The two vehicles below were driven by the teams he had dispatched.

The base had previously found a batch of high-performance military vehicles, sturdy in build and large in space, so he recognized the two vehicles in the pit.

"This is outrageous! This isn’t something a human would do!"

Xiang Sanjin was also furious, his eyes red as he clenched his fists and looked down at the noisy horde of zombies. Among them could be their former colleagues—not having died in battle but betrayed and killed!

"Let’s deal with those zombies first, some are almost climbing out,"

Su Jin pointed to the restless swarm of zombies below and said, the ice walls were gone, and this group of living people was standing right above those zombies, which were "undaunted by hardship" and climbing up.

"If we had gasoline, we could just pour it in and set fire to the whole lot!"

Tian Yongyi said bitterly.

"Brother, although we have gasoline, we shouldn’t waste it like that. The fan will suffice,"

Lin Xiuyuan patted Tian Yongyi’s shoulder and said.

The Mysterious Fire Fan of Uncle Nie was many times more effective than any gasoline.

Without further ado, Lu Hao had already run to the forefront to start using his fire-element special abilities, and Su Jin tied the Mysterious Fire Fan to a vine she controlled, gently fanning it towards the zombie horde below. The flames released by Lu Hao spread like wildfire dropped into a gasoline pit, flaring up over dozens of meters in an instant!

"What’s going on, this is unscientific!"

Xiang Sanjin couldn’t believe his eyes and, unable to help himself, took a couple of steps forward to get a clearer view.
