Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 677: The Last Task

Battle Clothes were powered by Crystal Cores, but they didn’t require a lot of them, as a single Ordinary Crystal Core was enough to last a day.

Although I didn’t know whether the base was going to put them up for sale, just having one of these Battle Clothes would be like possessing a life-saving divine artifact!

Isn’t this the greatest invention since the Apocalypse?

Don’t those pharmaceutical products invented in B City seem like garbage now?

Who was the genius who invented this?

The family in the Space were also surprised when they heard the news.

"Did Lian Ze come up with this all by himself?"

Su Jin asked her aunt Lin Tianzhen.

"Isn’t it? Now Lian Ze’s name is almost known to every household. I heard that his place is surrounded by people every day, claiming to be his fans,"

Lin Tianzhen said with a smile.

"So, it turns out he was just misused before; he could totally make a significant contribution to humanity,"

Lin Xiuyuan also remarked with emotion. He had visited the E City base before and knew the role Lian Ze played there. Working on those bloody experiments in the laboratory, how could that compare to being respected by thousands?

"By the way, did Qiqi mention she found a strange person in the base?"

Lu Hao asked. He had heard his grandmother Li Xiuying mention something about it when he returned from his mission, so he wanted to inquire more about it from Mao Zhihang and his wife.

"Yes, Qiqi has already informed Liang Jiuhui about it. He’s taking it very seriously and should have already started an investigation,"

Mao Zhihang replied.

"Well, if it’s that kind of strange person, I think we should first consider the people from the E City base, especially those around Lian Ze,"

Lu Hao mentioned, thinking of the currently famous Lian Ze.

"Are you saying that the E City base might want to take Lian Ze back?"

Su Jin also considered this possibility. Indeed it was normal; with the blizzard over and Lian Ze being from the E City base and having fled on his own, the E City base might inevitably send someone to bring him back.

Lu Hao nodded. It would be good if he could warn Jiyue, but the relationship between the two brothers was extremely awkward, making this a difficult matter.

"You just focus on finishing the last part of your mission there. Aren’t you coming back soon anyway? Don’t worry about things over here for now,"

Lin Tianzhen said.

Su Jin and the others had recently made a good haul, and they even planned to set up a temporary store. The Base Leader was grateful for the help from Heart Talk Team and offered a very high Crystal Core reward for their mission, so she felt it was better for them to focus on finishing their mission before the family returned.

"Tianzhen, has anything happened over at the Base Hospital?"

Lin Tianhui asked. She had been away for nearly two months, and the length of this break made her feel somewhat guilty.

"Nothing much, just that those people from Y-country are still in the hospital. I heard someone has to take care of them every day,"

Lin Tianzhen recalled, but those Y-country people seemed to be very generous with the Crystal Cores, having rented whole hospital wards to stay in and even hiring someone to deliver their food daily.

"They sure know how to enjoy themselves,"

Su Xiangzhe said, it looked like they might still run into those people from Y-country when they returned.

"You only have one grain storage left?"

Mao Zhihang asked Lu Hao, surprised that H Province actually still had a grain storage left. In reality, every place had its own grain storage, but they had all been collected by the bases long ago.

"That’s right, this is the first time we’ve seen an official grain storage like this. Unfortunately, about one-third of the grain in the second one was gnawed through by rats, so Xiao Hao burned it all with a fire,"

Lin Cheng replied. Before, they had encountered people at the S City base who had turned into zombies after eating grain that had been contaminated by zombie rats, so they only collected completely packaged supplies.

"Well, that’s a good deed done. If the grain was found later and had gone moldy, it would have been even more of a pity,"

Mao Zhihang said.

...

Inside the H Province base, development was in full swing like the gradually heating weather, with every aspect progressing in an orderly fashion. Guan Shouzhong and his team were becoming busier by the day, and the Heart Talk Team even helped to recruit a batch of new administrative personnel.

At this moment, a family was eating cool watermelon from their Space in a warehouse located in the southern suburbs of Yongkang County, H Province. They had been in this county town for a full four days now and had successfully found the last food storage. However, the number of zombies in Yongkang County was surprisingly high.

Zombies still surrounded the warehouse outside, and after the family had fought continuously for over three hours, Su Jin called for them to take a break midway.

"Don’t worry, everyone finish eating and rest for a while, I’ll replenish your Special Abilities,"

Su Jin said with a smile. The Man-eating Flower was still feasting outside, and they were very safe inside this sturdy warehouse, allowing them to enter the Space and rest at ease for a while.

"Okay,"

Lu Hao nodded, then entered the Space with his family.

"These guys surnamed Guan are really lucky to have met us. We’ve helped them kill so many zombies,"

Lin Xiuyuan spoke weakly. They had killed at least eighty to a hundred thousand zombies in these past few days.

"Yeah, they said H City was a Dead City, but as I see it, every place here is a Dead City. There’s never a living soul in sight,"

Lu Guanhai added.

"But we’ve collected quite a lot of Crystal Cores,"

Mao Qiqi, on the other hand, felt it was rather good. They had Crystal Cores to collect and could kill zombies together with everyone else; it was practically heaven here.

"When you guys were killing zombies, I also finished collecting the items inside the warehouse. As for the remaining outside, maybe we’ll just let the Man-eating Flower slowly take care of them,"

Su Jin felt sorry that everyone had been fighting continuously for so long. There were only about twenty thousand zombies left outside, which could be completely handled by the Man-eating Flower.

"No, that would be a waste of Crystal Cores. Let’s continue using the Mysterious Fire Fan later, it should be quick,"

Lu Hao still cared about the Crystal Cores. Since the Space upgrade, it required a daily intake of 100 Crystal Cores, which was quite costly. Moreover, since the S City base also introduced Crystal Core-powered weapons, the value of Crystal Cores would only increase. They needed to take advantage of the situation and save up while they could.

"Girl, don’t worry so much. After we return to S City, we might have to rest for a while. It’s no big deal to be a bit tired these days,"

Nie Qing also comforted her.

Seeing that everyone was determined to continue fighting, Su Jin did not stop them. If only the Man-eating Flower could spit out Crystal Cores, it would be wonderful. But she understood that good things don’t always fall into one’s lap. The collection of Crystal Cores still relied on their own battle and labor.

So when they exited the Space later, Lu Hao and the others’ Special Abilities were fully replenished by Su Jin.

Looking down at the shouting zombies below, Lu Hao leapt onto the closest Man-eating Flower, starting to deploy wide-ranging Fire Element Ability attacks.

Su Jin continued to use vines to handle the Mysterious Fire Fan, focusing on areas with dense zombie populations. With each swing of the fan, hundreds of zombies vanished, leaving behind shiny Crystal Cores amidst the ashes.
