Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 383 - : Converge

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Converge

Lian Jiyue, who wasn’t using any weapon, relished in the joy of bursting blood vessels one by one. Even more invasively, he reached into the left side of a person’s body and pulled out a still-beating heart.

The man looked at the bright, steaming heart in his hands and licked his lips, about to bring it to his mouth, when he seemed to remember something.

Then he turned his head and looked toward the little girl standing to the side.

Mao Qiqi:…

Can’t eat it.

Pop~

The man, hearing the child’s voice, regretfully threw the heart onto the ground…

At the door, Xu Wenbin had already deeply regretted it. When the little girl had warned them to leave, greedy for a few dozen crystal cores, he had wanted his brothers to taste some sweetness. If only he had known…

After all, it was still one death. Maybe there was still a glimmer of hope if they fought.

Xu Wenbin stood up and ran toward the man approaching him. He was a Level Three Power Element Ability User; if he could lift the man and break the hand he was using to attack, there might still be a chance to win.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot into the abandoned factory. Xu Wenbin watched in horror as the thick silvery-gray metal door smashed toward him ferociously.

Bang!

The metal door slammed to the ground and then disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pool of vivid red flesh.

The group led by Su Jin, who had just reached the door, watched in surprise as Lian Jiyue crouched there, intently observing the pool of flesh on the ground.

Was that Lian Jiyue?

Why was he looking at them with a stranger’s eyes?

“Sister Xiao Jin!”

Mao Qiqi also ran out from inside; it was indeed Sister Xiao Jin and the others.

“Qiqi, are you hurt?”

Once Su Jin got out of the car, the first thing she saw was the wound on Mao Qiqi’s arm.

“Yes, there were more than a dozen people who wanted me to go with them, and we fought. Fortunately, he helped me again,”

Mao Qiqi said, pointing to Lian Jiyue behind her.

But she noticed that the man seemed to have fainted again…

The smell of blood made Lian Jiyue feel his body grow hot again. Apart from the burning pain, there was also a sense of hunger coming from his stomach. He felt himself sinking into a deep sleep once more.

The group dragged him to an open area nearby and squatting around him, they began discussing fervently.

“Isn’t this E City Base’s leader, Lian Jiyue?!”

Tan Yiran pointed at the man on the ground, eyes wide with astonishment.

“Yes,”

Su Jin and Lu Hao nodded in agreement, but why did Lian Jiyue look so strange?

“Is he the one who was injected with the Z pharmaceutical products?”

Pei Yuan also looked incredulous. They had not expected that this person would be Lian Jiyue!

“It wasn’t that he was injected. Someone had put the pharmaceutical products in his food, and not for a short time,”

Lu Hao analyzed. If it were their housekeeper, it was very likely that the drug had been mixed into his daily diet. But it was only after he had alerted Lian Jiyue that Lian Jiyue had found out.

“Let’s get him out of here first!”

After looking around, Su Jin said, the scent of blood inside the factory was so strong that even they could smell it, let alone the zombies that were rapidly approaching. In no time, this place would attract a large horde of zombies.

“Sister Xiao Jin, wait for me a bit,”

After Mao Qiqi finished speaking, she ran into the abandoned factory full of corpses. Moments later, when she emerged, she had her hands full with two large bags of items.

“Brother Xiuyuan, hold these for me,”

As she spoke, Mao Qiqi stuffed the items into Lin Xiuyuan’s hands.

When Lin Xiuyuan took the heavy bags and looked inside, they were filled with Crystal Cores!

“Wow, Qiqi, where did you get these?”

Lin Xiuyuan asked excitedly.

“I took them from those people inside, and of course, some I fought for myself,”

Mao Qiqi said proudly.

Dr. Pei and the others, managing to suppress their shock, made their way back to the vehicle. Could such a small girl really fight zombies and extract Crystal Cores herself?

There was enough space inside the SUV; they lowered the back seats and placed Lian Jiyue on them. After the vehicle started, Mao Qiqi finally told them about the events of that day.

“So, he saved you then?”

Lin Xiuyuan asked, though he felt that if it weren’t for this surname Lian, Qiqi wouldn’t have faced such grave danger alone.

“Lin Xiuyuan, try feeding him this bottle of water,”

Su Jin knew that Lian Jiyue was still feverish. Considering he had helped them many times, she felt they should help him. Dr. Pei had mentioned that the longer a person injected with the Z-serum waited, the more dangerous it became. Seeing his grey, long fingernails, she truly worried he might turn into a zombie.

“Oh,”

Lin Xiuyuan obediently moved to the back seat, propped up Lian Jiyue’s head, and then tried feeding him the water.

At this moment, Lian Jiyue felt his mind was filled with bright red, a colour he desired. But the red became increasingly hot, scorchingly so, burning him to thirst…

Suddenly, a cool liquid flowed over that bright red, gradually washing away the redness. The burning thirst was relieved, and he couldn’t help but crave more of the liquid.

Lin Xiuyuan was surprised to see the bottle emptied in an instant, and Su Jin handed him two more after seeing this.

Now, Lu Hao was driving, and Su Jin, sitting in the middle seat, treated Mao Qiqi’s wounds. After Mao Qiqi’s arm wound had healed, she even put a piece of gauze over the spot to hide it from Dr. Pei and others, as too quick a recovery might arouse their suspicion.

After treating Mao Qiqi’s wounds, Su Jin tried wrapping the Healing Vine around Lian Jiyue’s wrist.

There were no injuries on his body, but Su Jin could feel her Wood Element Ability rapidly draining. What was happening?

Luckily, she had a considerable amount of Wood Element Ability power, so she wasn’t too worried. She continued the treatment and, together with Mao Qiqi, watched Lian Jiyue’s condition.

“Su Jin, he doesn’t seem as hot now,”

Lin Xiuyuan commented after finishing the two bottles of water.

He had been pondering a question all this while: having drank three bottles of water, would the man wake up needing to urinate later?

“With him looking like this, are we going to take him back with us?”

Nie Qing, sitting in the passenger seat, asked. This man looked increasingly strange, and now he was even more inscrutable.

Nie Qing’s question also stumped everyone. Mao Qiqi had not known that this was the Base Leader of Base E. The girl, who had initially thought about fostering him, was now also hesitating.

“Let’s wait for him to wake up and see what he decides,” Lu Hao said.

“Yes, we need to find a relatively safe place to stay before it gets dark,”

Su Jin added, currently taking Dr. Pei and others with them and staying outside every day until they could return to Base S.

Mao Qiqi, leaning on the middle seatback, watched Lian Jiyue lying in the back and couldn’t help but wonder, when he woke up, would he truly return to Base E?
