Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 51 - Rescue Has Arrived

Lu Changyuan had severe morning grumpiness, a fact known to everyone. Bai Kairui, who had just started hanging out with their group, wasn’t familiar with Han Yi’s temper, so naturally, he chose the lesser of two evils and decided to wake up Han Yi. Little did he know that Han Yi’s “morning grumpiness” was even worse.

Han Yi got up with a stern face and straightened out Han Jiaojiao’s clothes, reluctantly caressing her a few times, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Han Jiaojiao tried to hold back her laughter, but eventually, her whole body curled up, her stomach aching from laughter.

Han Yi grabbed her arm, white as lotus root sections, and wickedly pinched her twice, “Still laughing! I’ll deal with you tonight.”

Han Jiaojiao playfully blinked her big eyes, “Don’t be mad, brother. Go wash up.”

They usually wouldn’t come to knock on the door specifically, so there must be something going on.

After quickly freshening up, Han Yi and Han Jiaojiao stepped out of their room to encounter Lu Changyuan coming down from the third floor, his expression displeased, presumably just having been woken up.

“What’s going on?” Lu Changyuan asked as he descended the stairs.

Downstairs, Xiao Jian was leaning on the sofa, while Yan Xiao and Bai Kairui stood to the side. Seeing them come down, Yan Xiao immediately said, “Lu Brother, Han Brother, come take a look at Xiao Jian. Could he be on the verge of awakening a superpower?”

When Bai Kairui saw Han Yi approaching, he subconsciously rubbed his chest, trying to catch his breath, having been quite frightened earlier.

Han Yi asked Xiao Jian how he was feeling.

Xiao Jian held his forehead with one hand, his voice somewhat hoarse, “My head feels heavy and dizzy, and I have no strength in my body, but other than that, there’s nothing else.”

Lu Changyuan asked him, “When did it start?”

“After getting up,” Xiao Jian exhaled, “It started off just a bit dizzy, I thought it was because I hadn’t rested well. I went downstairs for a run, and it just made the dizziness worse.”

Lu Changyuan heard this and then asked Yan Xiao and Bai Kairui beside him, “How long will this symptom last?”

Yan Xiao and Bai Kairui exchanged glances and said, “It seems like it was about three to five days for me.”

Bai Kairui said, “For me, it was two days.”

It seemed that only Han Yi had awakened his Ability without going through the low-grade fever symptoms; his body almost completely accepted the fusion with the alien microbes without any rejection.

“I’m fine, I’m not incapable of taking care of myself,” Xiao Jian lifted his head slightly and said, “You go on, don’t mind me.”

They had originally planned to go into the city to hunt for Crystal Cores today.

“It would still be better to leave someone behind to keep watch,” Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help but speak up. She thought of Hong Yun’s ordeal, realizing that during the awakening of one’s Ability, one really is as helpless as a chicken, and precautions must be taken. What might be a minor and easily avoidable danger could become a fatal injury without proper caution.

Han Yi and Lu Changyuan were definitely going, Yan Xiao’s Fire Ability was often needed, and Han Jiaojiao always needed to be by Han Yi’s side. Plus, her marksmanship was very good. As such, Bai Kairui was the only one who could be left behind.

Yesterday, Han Yi had found a good spot. — In the narrow gap between two large buildings, numerous Alien Species were lurking; they were very far from the nearby nests, and most of them had Crystal Cores inside their bodies. Han Yi’s plan was to reach the rooftop of the building and shoot from the top downwards. In this way, all the Alien Species below would be sitting ducks, posing no threat unless the Alien Species learned to ride the elevator.

To ensure that nothing went wrong, this time they packed even more ammunition, ready for a big fight.

The journey was smooth, but upon reaching the outskirts of the city, they saw rows of military trucks parked on the road from a distance. It seemed that the rescue teams had arrived.

Han Jiaojiao counted, and there were twelve military trucks. Two of them were already full of people and various luggage, turning around to leave. A man in a military uniform was standing on one truck, holding a loudspeaker and shouting.

“Please keep order! We will not leave anyone behind. Everyone will get on the trucks, please give us time… Those with injuries, please check in with the medical staff first. Personal luggage should not exceed the size of a suitcase per person…”

The road was crowded with people and baggage; many were squeezed under the military trucks, just waiting for the signal to rush up. The scene was chaotic, with cries and laughter mingled together, as if performing a grand drama of human joy and sorrow.

Since the road was blocked anyway, Han Yi and his companions simply got out of the car. Lu Changyuan lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth, planning to inquire for news, while Yan Xiao, who couldn’t stay still, followed him.

Han Jiaojiao stood by Han Yi’s side, couldn’t help looking around, subconsciously wanting to see if Hong Yun was there. She wondered if Hong Yun’s low-grade fever had subsided, as missing this wave of rescue would be unfortunate. Although there’d be rescue teams from other bases arriving later, the city was now overrun with too many Alien Species. Staying one more day meant one more day of danger…

Unexpectedly, she didn’t see Hong Yun but instead saw someone she didn’t want to see.

Su Xue was holding a bag of disposable cups, pouring water for the survivors one by one. After each cup was filled, she would clench her fingers in the air, and countless water droplets would condense from the air into the cup, eliciting a round of admiration.

Han Jiaojiao saw this and knew that Su Xue, just like in her previous life, had awakened her Water Ability and could gather water molecules from the air. When the base was first established, those with the Water Ability were very popular. Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help feeling a bit suffocated; she had never awakened an Ability in her previous life, and she likely wouldn’t be so lucky in this one either.

She sighed and looked up to find that Han Yi was also watching Su Xue, immediately reaching out to cover his eyes in displeasure.

“Don’t look! She’s not a good person; you’re not allowed to look.”

Han Yi pulled her hand down to his mouth and pecked it, suppressing a laugh as he said, “Brother was only looking at her because you kept staring at her.”

Han Jiaojiao, acting spoiled, tugged on Han Yi and said, “I won’t look at her anymore, so you shouldn’t either, okay?”

An excited voice came from behind them—

“Han Jiaojiao? Is it really you?”
