Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 393 - Three Hundred and Ninety-Three: Awakening

Chapter 393: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Three: Awakening

Su Jin lay atop the stone wall, watching the large stone sphere roll about below, and they finally understood why Xing Taian and his companions were so excited when they heard the Zombie Tide that morning.

Such a Zombie Tide was like delivering Crystal Cores to them!

Moreover, she believed that even if tens of thousands more zombies came afterward, this little village would be able to handle it.

The zombies on the ground had been almost completely annihilated, including those that were in the corners by the wall, taken care of by other Special Ability Users.

“Hahaha, let’s go, just one last step left,”

Xing Taian said to everyone with a smile.

The Stone Gate was slowly opened, and Xing Taian led a group of people out, while Su Jin and the others following behind found that aside from those Special Ability Users who participated in the battle, many elderly people and children also followed behind excitedly.

“Sister, they’re all following to watch the excitement, our leader allowed it,” Yan Gang explained.

Watching the excitement?

How exciting could killing zombies be?

Su Jin also saw Lin Xiuyuan and Nie Qing with excited faces in the crowd…

“Where are Dr. Pei and the others?” Su Jin asked.

“They let us come first, with Ren Yingjie and Fang Zhengyang there, it’s incredibly safe inside,” Lin Xiuyuan said.

Su Jin nodded, in fact, the ages of Dr. Pei and Tan Yiran were not that old, but it might be because they had been confined in the research institute for too long, coupled with the constant stress and the lack of nutritious food, so although they were only in their fifties or sixties, their hair had already turned mostly white.

Pei Yuan also said that under stress, people could develop white hair, and it might even turn white overnight.

As they thoughts wandered, they had already reached the nearest trap.

“Protect the elderly and children,” Xing Taian said to the people behind him.

The pit seemed very large, filled with the constant roaring of zombies, and some trying to claw their way out were pushed back in by the Special Ability Users.

“Fire Element Ability Users, commence burning!” Xing Taian shouted loudly.

Two Fire Element Ability Users released Special Ability Fire into the pit, and the zombies inside quickly caught fire, the flames even shooting up outside.

“Did you put gasoline in there?”

Unable to hold back, Lin Xiuyuan asked. It was only two Fire Element Ability Users, but why was the burning effect so strong?

“Hahaha, youngster, we’ve covered the insides with dry hay and branches, so even with a single spark, everything will catch fire,”

one of the Fire Element Ability Users said happily.

So that’s how it was, Lin Xiuyuan understood. Dry grass and branches were the easiest to find in the countryside.

There were many such traps, with more in the distance.

Xing Taian continued leading the remaining people forward, while the two Fire Element Ability Users were left to watch over that trap, ensuring that every zombie was burned to death.

Lu Hao couldn’t resist burning a pit himself, the feeling was indeed exhilarating.

“Brother, what level is your fire element?” Xing Taian leaned over and asked Lu Hao.

“Level Five,” Lu Hao replied truthfully.

Xing Taian gave Lu Hao a thumbs up; he had not seen such a High Level Special Ability User before, but in his view, Lu Hao’s level five fire element was much stronger than the effects of the Level Six Earth Element Zombie.

After clearing out all the zombies inside the traps, the villagers had already started to dig up Crystal Cores with their tools, even children who looked younger than Mao Qiqi helped collect Crystal Cores in baskets.

“Let’s head back,”

Lu Hao said, there seemed to be nothing more to do here, and Mao Qiqi had confirmed that there were no more zombies coming from afar.

Su Jin nodded her head, said goodbye to Xing Taian and his group, and prepared to go back.

“Sister Su, these Crystal Cores…” Xing Taian trailed off and then laughed sheepishly, unsure if Su Jin would still have food to sell to them.

“We’ll look for you later, don’t worry, we have some to sell,”

Su Jin knew what Xing Taian was worried about; it seemed she really had to go back and discuss a wholesale price with everyone.

Mao Qiqi took a few steps forward, then suddenly ran towards the inside of the stone wall.

“Qiqi?” Lin Xiuyuan shouted.

“Lian Jiyue is downstairs, and it seems like something’s not right,”

Mao Qiqi said and then ran even faster.

Not right?

Could it be that he’s come down with a fever again?

Remembering that Dr. Pei and others had gone ahead, Su Jin and Lu Hao quickly ran inside as well.

But how did Qiqi know that it was Lian Jiyue downstairs?

In the yard of the two-story building, the tricycles and farm tools that had been neatly placed were now a complete mess, courtesy of Tan Yiran and the others.

What’s going on with that Base Leader?!

As soon as they returned, they saw him standing there, and without a word, he launched an attack in their direction, as if he wanted to devour them.

They didn’t have special abilities and didn’t dare to fight him, so they had no choice but to hide everywhere with Pei Yuan.

And now, that man was actually choking Ren Yingjie by the throat!

“Lian Jiyue! Let him go!”

The voice of the little girl came from outside the door, and Lian Jiyue abruptly froze, slowly turning his head to look at Mao Qiqi.

Let him go, they’re our comrades.

Seeing that Lian Jiyue didn’t say a word, Mao Qiqi tried to communicate with him using her spiritual power again.

However, it was clearly effective, as Lian Jiyue finally let go of Ren Yingjie, whose face had turned bright red from being choked.

Su Jin and the others were scared into a cold sweat, and a section of vine coiled around Ren Yingjie, pulling him to where Dr. Pei and the others were.

“What happened?!” Su Jin asked.

“Cough cough cough, we don’t know either, he just went berserk when he saw us,”

Ren Yingjie’s voice was hoarse.

Lu Hao looked at Lian Jiyue, feeling that the Lian Jiyue before him was very unfamiliar, as if he no longer knew him.

“You’re awake, how do you feel?” Lu Hao asked.

Lian Jiyue, as if he hadn’t heard, just silently walked over to Mao Qiqi and crouched down beside her.

“…”

What’s going on?

Although he still had the same expressionless face as before, this behavior was too reminiscent of… some kind of animal, wasn’t it?

Looking incredulously were Ren Yingjie and Pei Yuan, among others. They had just seen the Base Leader with an expression as if he was about to eat them, so why did he become so… well-behaved when the little girl showed up?

“Qiqi, what’s wrong with him?”

Lu Hao asked Mao Qiqi.

“He says he’s hungry…”

Mao Qiqi replied. She had also tried to use her spiritual power to communicate with him about the previous events, but the only response she got was the same three words: I’m hungry, I’m hungry…

“Amnesia?”

Su Jin speculated about a possibility, then turned to look at Pei Yuan. Could the pharmaceutical products have such an effect?

After hearing this, Pei Yuan could only shrug his shoulders, indicating that he had never seen such an experimental case before.

Alright, maybe he’ll talk after he has had something to eat.

“Qiqi, you take him inside to eat something first,” Su Jin said.

Mao Qiqi nodded and headed towards the door, with Lian Jiyue getting up to follow her.

Just then, Lin Xiuyuan suddenly remembered something and yelled out, “Qiqi, ask him if he needs to use the bathroom?!”

“…”
