Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 313: Three Hundred Thirteen: The Truth
Chapter 313 -Three Hundred Thirteen: The Truth
Although many people did not care much about the public execution, no one was not curious about those rewards; they also wanted to know what kind of rewards the people who had participated in resisting the Zombie Tide would get.
So, for a time, the lecture venue became fully packed, with people standing even in the back and along the aisles, and many others standing outside the door.
Su Jin and her group naturally received invitations too, their seats already arranged in the first and second rows at the front, and it was Xu Shi who had brought them over.
Jia Kaiji was pushed up in a very large iron cage.
Those who had attended lectures on Special Abilities knew that the cage was previously used to contain zombies; what on earth had this man done?
Apart from Jia Kaiji, dozens of people tied up tightly were brought up; Su Jin and the others did not recognize them and had never seen them before.
...
The hall became exceptionally noisy—why were there so many people? It looked like something big had happened.
Ye Rongxin walked up with an expressionless face carrying a small projector; he didn’t say anything but instead played a surveillance video recording for everyone.
Those present watched the recording with great interest; who would have thought there’d be recordings to watch in the Apocalypse?
However, the expressions of everyone in the room soon turned to shock; the recording showed several people opening the South Side Gate of the base by some means, followed by a swarm of zombies with gaping mouths flooding in.
No wonder they had heard gunshots the night before last—it turned out that so many zombies had gotten into the base!
The recording showed that the zombies were quickly annihilated by fully armed Guard Squad Members; at the same time, the south gate was sealed off.
Lu Hao looked at the dazzling Su Jin on stage and couldn’t help lowering his head in silence.
What should he do? He desperately wanted to hide her away, someplace where no one else could see her, only him.
Su Jin, with a serious expression, walked off the stage and, upon seeing Lu Hao backstage, finally couldn’t restrain herself and threw herself into his arms.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Hao was startled by Su Jin, who burrowed into his chest without lifting her head.
“So nervous, just now”
Su Jin’s muffled voice came out, causing Lu Hao to laugh involuntarily.
“You were great just now”
Lu Hao said while gently ruffling Su Jin’s hair.
At this moment, her family also walked in, and Su Jin stood up with a flushed face.
“Girl, you really had the demeanor of our Sect Leader back in the day”
Nie Qing gave Su Jin a thumbs up.
“Thank you, Uncle Nie,” Su Jin said with a smile.
“Sister, you were seriously cool and awesome today, a lot of Wood Element Ability Users are talking about you,”
Yin Chengtian said excitedly, having felt the atmosphere below the stage himself; he had also seen Captain Lu perform on stage, and he couldn’t deny, both were equally stellar!
…
During the days Liang Jiuhui was busy with lectures, an individual arrived in the slum area who everyone praised highly.
Every day, he personally went to the slum to distribute porridge to the survivors; initially, it was he and his subordinates, but gradually, it changed to him and his daughter, who often pushed a large vat of porridge to the slum early in the morning to distribute free porridge to the starving survivors there.
Although it was just a bowl of watery porridge for each person, it indeed helped many.
Within a few days, survivors in the slum area knew him as Jia Kaiji.
He was said to be one of the security managers in the base, and even the Base Leader had to address him as “Uncle”; he had also been a colleague of the former mayor, Liang Wei.
He was known to be philanthropic and extremely concerned with the welfare of the survivors, feeling that allowing the survivors to starve like this was extremely inhumane. Thus, he dug into his own pockets to help these survivors.
In no time, the rumors in the base became rich and colorful again.
This is what a Base Leader should really look like – he even donated his own food ration to the starving survivors!
Only somewhat older administrators have the heart of a mighty tiger, able to discern even subtle details!
Shouldn’t the current Base Leader feel ashamed by comparison?
Jia Kaiji wiped the sweat off his forehead and cheerfully scooped a bowl of porridge for an old man who gave him a thumbs up.
“Take your time, the ground is uneven,” Jia Yue also cautioned the old man.
“Ah, you all are really something, much better than the current one,” the old man said after taking a sip of his porridge.
“Old man, that’s some way of talking, our base leader also cares about everyone,” Jia Kaiji said loudly with a smile.
The more he said this, the more the surrounding survivors felt that the current base leader wasn’t good, while they thought the man before them truly cared for the survivors.
Fang Jingfu also thought the uncle-like man before her was a good person. She had been coming to drink porridge for several days, yet he had never shown a look of disdain; instead, she always felt his gaze was full of care and perhaps pity?
Jia Kaiji saw this white-clad young girl coming over with a sea bowl and immediately showed a concerned expression.
“Girl, haven’t eaten yet? Hand over the bowl,” Jia Kaiji said, reaching out and taking the bowl Fang Jingfu handed to him.
“Thank you, you really are a good person.”
Fang Jingfu didn’t know why her face turned red, and her expression caught Jia Kaiji’s eyes, giving him more ideas—could it be that this young girl fancied him?
Jia Yue, who was still serving porridge to others, naturally did not notice the girl’s odd behavior and also missed seeing her own father’s seemingly accidental touch as he handed the bowl to the girl.
Fang Jingfu was surprised by Jia Kaiji, but his expression remained the same, making her think she might have overthought it.
“Drink up, a pretty girl like you wouldn’t look good all skin and bones,” Jia Kaiji told Fang Jingfu.
What seemed like an ordinary remark made Fang Jingfu blush and mumble thanks before walking away.
“Dad, we should make more porridge tomorrow, this doesn’t seem to be enough,” Jia Yue said, frowning.
Seeing that no one was around, Jia Kaiji said quietly to Jia Yue, “It is precisely because there isn’t enough porridge that we show we would rather pinch and scrape to help others. Do you really think we are here to serve porridge?”
He was merely trying to generate some rumors.
Liang Wei is now completely out of sight, with only Liang Jiuhui holding up the base, while Huo Qi’s preparations were also in place, and they had even recruited a large number of special ability users.
As the saying goes, ‘He who wins the people wins the world’; if the survivors at the base now supported him, his chances of winning would be even greater, enabling a smooth ascension to power once things were settled.
Jia Yue also knew what her father’s plan was, and she had been silently supporting him; those rumors were spread by someone she had found. This time, it seemed the effect was not bad.
But these people did it just for a few bags of rice, just a few bags of rice!
Many other people were also crying out in anger; among those survivors were their relatives, their friends. When the truth was revealed, many found it impossible to accept.

Even more people were incomprehensible about the incident. In the apocalypse, it’s already exceedingly difficult for humans to survive, yet sometimes the human heart is scarier than the zombies themselves.
