Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 739: Farewell is Imminent
Chapter 739: Chapter 739: Farewell is Imminent
Mao Qiqi, having joyfully reached two million Crystal Cores, felt that today was indeed a perfect day for venturing out on a mission, and she even bid everyone goodbye in high spirits.
"Her foreign language skills are the most fluent I’ve seen among the Huaxia people,"
Vice Elder Mo Fei remarked as he watched the group disappear into the distance.
"Why should Vice Elder Mo Fei be so demanding? Y country now entirely depends on them. It’s better to be aware of one’s limitations,"
Elder Russell said, giving Mo Fei a sidelong glance.
"I don’t understand what Elder Russell means. Isn’t our country’s control over the Zombie Cockroaches due to God being moved by the Nickle’s sincerity? God bestowed them with a mission, and our Nickle family has also paid the corresponding rewards,"
Mo Fei said.
"Elder Russell is being overly pessimistic. Since there’s a problem, there must be a solution. Even if it’s not the Heart Talk Team, our Nickle Family will definitely find other ways to resolve this crisis,"
Xius said coldly, clearly feeling that Mo Fei’s argument was more to the point. What did he mean by Y country now completely relying on those few Huaxia people?
Seeing that Russell had nothing more to rebut, Xius finally felt a bit more at ease, and the anger he’d felt from being blocked by Su Jin earlier also slightly subsided.
...
Inside Y country’s base, knowing that Qiao and the Heart Talk Team were heading out on a mission again today, the people all lined up along both sides of the road, all the way to the gates of the base.
After learning that the Heart Talk Team intended to clear all Zombie Cockroaches in Y country, other Special Ability Users who usually went out on missions to kill zombies also ceased their outings.
They were waiting, waiting for all of Y country’s Zombie Cockroaches to be cleared, waiting for the outside environment to be safe enough to allow them to focus on dealing with zombies.
"Excuse me, brave warriors, friends of the Heart Talk Team, could we know when you’ll start clearing the Zombie Cockroaches around the base?"
As several people prepared to get into the vehicle, a Survivor couldn’t help but run forward to ask; he was eager to know how long they had to wait if they stayed in the base.
"We can’t divulge specifics yet, but the clearance around the base is scheduled for the last day, and we predict it will be completed within three days,"
Lu Hao said in Huaxia language to Qiao.
Qiao smiled and translated Lu Hao’s words for the people lining the road, although he too was slightly surprised after hearing it.
"So soon? Can it really all be completed in three days?"
Someone asked incredulously.
"It seems we still don’t have enough of your trust,"
Qiao joked.
The person who had just expressed doubt also laughed embarrassedly; it wasn’t that they didn’t trust Qiao and the Heart Talk Team, but three days seemed too fast.
"We trust you, please!"
A woman from Y country shouted loudly.
They could only trust now, and looking at the past record of task completions, these people were indeed worth trusting.
"Very good, then that’s settled, everyone just wait at ease,"
Qiao said with a graceful demeanor that also made a few young women blush.
The people of the Nickle family tended to have rugged looks, but only Qiao had the softest facial features, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and always answering every Survivor patiently with a smile.
Thus his reputation in the base had always been high, and with the recent event of clearing the Zombie Cockroaches, many who had been living in fear and despair began to trust Qiao unreservedly.
However, Qiao himself was unaware of this.
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic survivors of the Y country base, the people in the vehicle finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can it really be done within three days?"
Qiao suddenly asked the members of the Heart Talk Team.
...
So how had he just managed to appear so confident, when even he didn’t believe it?
"It’s possible, as long as we follow our planned route,"
Lu Hao replied.
"Are we first heading to Galle City near Tawa City today?"
David, who had looked over the marked map, asked.
"Yes, let’s start there, beginning from the outermost areas,"
Su Jin replied.
Galle City wasn’t large, but it had been many days since they had cleared Tawa City, and it was not ruled out that new Zombie Cockroaches might appear inside Tawa City.
"Su Jin, will you be leaving Country Y in three days?"
Abby suddenly asked. They had been getting along very well with the Heart Talk Team during this time, and upon hearing Qiao mention completing the mission in three days, their first reaction was that the Heart Talk Team might be returning to Huaxia.
Indeed... She truly regretted it!
"That should be the case, we’ve also been out for over a month now,"
Su Jin said with a smile. By the time she returned to City S base, the babies in her belly would be seven months old.
"Oh Abby, please don’t mention such heavy topics, okay? I hate separations the most,"
Jerome sighed as he spoke, not even wanting to complete the mission so soon.
"You guys can visit Huaxia whenever you get the chance, and I think we will meet again in the future,"
Su Jin replied.
"I really like Huaxia, as well as your City S base, I will definitely visit again if I have the chance,"
Qiao said, smiling.
"Then Qiao, don’t forget to bring us along, we are just too curious,"
Avril followed up with anticipation. The Heart Talk Team not only showed them the level of special abilities of the Huaxia people but also the mysterious secret techniques, which had been quite an eye-opener for them during this time.
As the vehicle moved forward, zombies gradually increased in number. To complete the mission as soon as possible, David, following the requests of the Heart Talk Team, tried to take routes with fewer zombies, and where possible, they plowed through zombie hordes.
Fortunately, Country Y had many villages and towns, and David, familiar with the routes, always managed to find paths with fewer zombies. However, when the vehicle passed through a narrow street, they were still surrounded by a zombie horde from both ends.
Seeing the road blocked tight, David felt helpless: "It seems we need to get out and clear them."
"Let’s do it together, it will be faster that way,"
Lu Hao’s words excited Mao Qiqi a lot, as they finally didn’t have to sit in the vehicle watching others killing zombies outside!
"Alright! Let’s get it done in 20 minutes,"
Lin Xiuyuan said after looking at the zombie hordes ahead and behind.
The vehicle was surrounded, making it impossible to open the doors due to the narrow street, and since Su Xiangzhe’s Thunder Element Ability couldn’t push away all the surrounding zombies, Qiao suggested everyone first stand on the roof of the vehicle, which was also safer.
Lu Hao nodded, used his Fire Element Ability to turn a few zombies climbing on the roof into ashes, and then jumped out first.
Abby and Avril quickly formed several metal barriers around the roof to ensure no one would be dragged down by suddenly reaching zombie hands.
"The zombies here seem to be louder than those in Huaxia,"
Lin Xiuyuan said to Qiao as he released Ice Spikes towards the area most concentrated with zombies.
"Is that so? But compared to the silent Zombie Cockroaches, I think these noisy zombies are friendlier,"
Qiao responded with a tornado featuring numerous Wind Blades. While special ability users still had vitality when dealing with zombies, when facing those little poisonous bugs, they often could only passively wait for death.
