Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 728: Qiao’s Stance

That night’s watch duty was taken in turns, and although Su Jin wasn’t particularly sleepy, she was still ushered into a cubicle by Avril and Abby, who insisted that she must go to bed early.

In the bungalow, as there were no partitions, the sisters used their Metal Element Ability to create separate areas for men and women.

It was said that this was a technique they always employed on such occasions, and Su Jin’s cubicle, shared with Huang Yunxiang and Mao Qiqi, though lacking a door, afforded them considerable privacy.

"Thank you, this is very thoughtful of you,"

Huang Yunxiang said with a smile, as Su Jin translated beside her.

So it seems that whether before or during the Apocalypse, girls are always much more considerate than boys.

Only after everyone had fallen into slumber did Su Jin put on her headphones and listen to the contents of the recorder, and despite some static, she understood everything. However, Su Jin couldn’t help but sneer.

The Chieftain Xius of the Nickle Family, huh? They actually want their lives?

And that "over there" mentioned by Vice Elder Mo Fei, who exactly is that?

It sounded like someone familiar from Huaxia... Several figures flashed through Su Jin’s mind, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

If things were indeed as she suspected, they were really in for a challenge.

But what she was most curious about at the moment was Qiao’s decision.

"Xiao Jin, what did you hear?"

Huang Yunxiang, who had just tucked the already fast-asleep Mao Qiqi in with a blanket from the Space, asked softly.

"Interesting stuff, I’ll share with everyone when we have time,"

Su Jin replied, looking up at the roof of the cubicle that was not fully sealed, believing the family would also find it amusing.

...

Perhaps because they were closer to the Zombie Cockroach Nest, everyone rested all night without too many zombies gathering around, and Mao Qiqi slept soundly through the night.

"Eh? I actually missed it,"

Mao Qiqi said, looking at Qiao and the others who had just returned from killing zombies outside, realizing that she must have been so tired she didn’t wake up at all.

"Qiqi is growing, so of course it’s good for her to sleep more,"

Huang Yunxiang said while preparing breakfast, which consisted of buns and pancakes from Su Jin’s Space, simply reheated or cooked.

These, however, seemed like an exquisite delicacy to the people from Country Y.

Apart from Qiao, who had become somewhat silent, everyone else happily ate their meal, having agreed to each pay the Heart Talk Team 1500 Crystal Cores as compensation for these two meals; of course, Su Jin was unaware of this for now.

"Qiao, we’re thinking of heading to the second Zombie Cockroach Nest today,"

Su Jin said.

"Today? Weren’t we planning to return to the base?"

Qiao asked in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Su Jin shook her head and explained, "Since the Zombie Cockroach Nests in Country Y are all concentrated here, we plan to deal with all of them before returning, otherwise, it’s too time-consuming on the road."

Implicitly, they planned to clear the remaining four Zombie Cockroach Nests before heading back to the base in Country Y.

Qiao initially wanted to object, feeling that this would overtax everyone, but then something crossed his mind, and after a moment of silence, he conceded.

"Fine, we’ll do as you say, but I need to discuss it with Hanson’s Team first,"

Surprisingly, Qiao agreed.

"So we can enjoy delicious Huaxia food for the next few days?"

Morris excitedly interjected.

Knowing they could join the Heart Talk Team on their missions for the next few days, he felt no unease, but rather, started looking forward to it.

"I’m worried that Hanson’s Team might not agree though,"

David remarked.

"It’s fine, if they disagree, they can head back on their own,"

Su Jin said, looking at Qiao.

"I understand, don’t worry,"

Qiao left after quickly finishing breakfast.

The members of Hanson’s Team were already waiting in the car, which was pointed in the direction of the Y Country base. Qiao greeted them and walked over...

With Qiao gone, Su Jin took the opportunity to tell her family about the content recorded in the voice recorder the day before.

"So cunning? Do we look easy to bully?"

Nie Qing only found it absurd. Could it be that they still didn’t understand what an SS-ranked team meant?

"After all we’ve done for them, exterminating all those Zombie Cockroaches, it’s ingratitude."

If it weren’t for the mission reward, Lin Cheng would have wanted to quit on the spot.

"That’s why I want to finish the mission quickly and leave this place as soon as possible,"

Su Jin said, not wanting to give them too much time to prepare.

"What they mentioned must be the Han Family from B City,"

Lu Hao deduced, using supplies to control other families’ bases seemed to be one of the unique methods of the Han Family. He didn’t expect them to have extended their influence even beyond Huaxia Country, but this thought explained everything.

"Are you saying, in addition to Russell’s recommendation, the Han Family is also meddling in our task?"

Su Xiangzhe asked, frowning, it seemed that Xiao Hao’s previous suspicions were also correct.

"Very likely, but Qiao probably doesn’t know about it,"

Lu Hao analyzed.

At that moment, Qiao had come back from outside.

"They’re gone; they think we’ve gone mad,"

Qiao said with a wry smile.

Honestly, wiping out five Zombie Cockroach nests in one go was something nobody would believe.

"Good that they’re gone; they don’t need to follow us,"

David said, feeling uncomfortable with them tagging along.

"Yeah, I agree,"

Qiao smiled.

The second Zombie Cockroach nest they were going to was only a little over an hour away from here, but it would take almost half a day to reach from the Y Country base. This was one of the reasons he had agreed to Su Jin’s suggestion.

Another reason... he also needed to seriously consider his own stance during these few days.

...

That day, because the group set off early and saved the time it would take to travel from the base, they directly dealt with two adjacent Zombie Cockroach nests.

Bang!

After the paralysis from Su Xiangzhe’s thunder, Lin Xiuyuan, along with his family, finally subdued a giant Zombie Cockroach.

This giant Zombie Cockroach, although not as big as the one Lu Hao encountered on the first day, was very agile.

The final blow, of course, was best delivered by Lu Hao’s Special Ability Fire. Lin Xiuyuan didn’t dare to directly dismantle the giant cockroach frozen by his Ice Breaking Technique, as it would be troublesome if the smaller cockroaches inside its body all ran out.

"Brother-in-law! Light it up!"

Lin Xiuyuan called out to Lu Hao, who was busy entangling with another giant cockroach not far away.

Lu Hao immediately understood, sending a huge Fire Dragon flying in the direction of Lin Xiuyuan and his family, crashing down heavily on the immobilized giant cockroach.

The even larger giant cockroach in front of him had already had four legs shorn off by Nie Qing’s Wind Blade, and the remaining two legs were cut off by Abby and Avril using their Metal Element Ability.

With experience in fighting giant cockroaches, Lu Hao was much more adept at such battles. He threw several fireballs, and the giant Zombie Cockroach’s body was soon ablaze everywhere.

Boom!

The entire giant Zombie Cockroach burst into flames, the heat from the fire causing Paul and others to unconsciously step back.

Such a strong Fire Element Ability!
