Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 578: Hiding in the High Tower

The remaining people watched helplessly as the two man-eating flowers outside turned their backs to them and shimmied a little distance forward.

Then they actually began to stoop down and devour the zombies that had gathered downstairs?!

"What, what’s going on?"

Zhu Chang stuttered, pointing at the man-eating flowers outside.

"Don’t be surprised; they just prefer eating zombies,"

Su Jin explained with a shrug.

"Xiao Jin, don’t overexert yourself, come and rest for a bit,"

Lu Guanhai said with a face full of concern. Su Jin had been standing for quite a while and had also saved so many people; his heart was trembling all the time!

"Okay, Dad, but we’d better move up a bit. The higher up, the safer. Also, I hope everyone checks the windows around the tower in case high-level wind zombies fly in,"

Said Su Jin.

Without contesting Su Jin’s words, everyone sprang into action. At this moment, the Heart Talk Team truly rose to an SS-level in everyone’s hearts.

But at that moment, Xu Mingliang stood up furiously and punched Han Yue right in the face!

"Xu Mingliang! Are you trying to revolt?"

Han Yue covered his cheek and glared at him with hatred.

"Revolt? I’ve long found you displeasing. Do you really think you’re some kind of Earth Emperor? You’re worse than a damn animal!"

Xu Mingliang’s voice was loud, showing just how angry he was.

"What happened to him..."

Bai Ying muttered quietly.

"I don’t know,"

Zheng Shu shook her head. Weren’t they on the same side? Were they having internal conflicts now?

"Mingliang, go over there and cool down,"

Hang Wenshan came over, led Xu Mingliang away, and openly broke with Han Yue; Xu Mingliang was too impulsive.

...

Outside the high tower, the number of zombies was still increasing.

Although the group had taken refuge in the tower, they couldn’t relax at all.

"Sister, uncle, there are all zombies outside, so many, so many,"

Said Mu Yunle. He had never sensed so many zombies before. Could those zombies really not knock this tower down?

Wei Junhao was also feeling complex emotions and wasn’t in the mood to dwell on the mixed terms "sister" and "uncle"; they were trapped here.

"They should slowly disperse, right..."

Zhu Chang said uncertainly. They had hidden all the way up the sharp end of the tower; could the zombies still smell them?

"They won’t disperse so quickly, better to consider how to eliminate them slowly,"

Lu Hao said, frowning while looking outside the window. There were probably around a hundred thousand zombies by now, and these zombies clearly could smell them, because they were still roaring below, the noise even drawing other distant zombies.

Some zombies had already started trying to climb up, so they couldn’t let their guard down.

"Lu Hao, go outside and kill the zombies; our people are at your disposal, including myself,"

Said Wei Junhao. He knew only a few members of the Heart Talk Team were present, and facing so many zombies outside, it was impossible to come back unharmed, no matter how powerful they were.

Lu Hao nodded; not everyone could stay here. They had to send a few down to clear off the zombies that were almost climbing onto the eaves.

"We’ll go help, too,"

Yang Bo and the others, who had just survived a calamity, were now coming around. Now, the more people helping, the more hope there was.

"I forbid you to go, your task is to escort me safely to Base B," Han Yue said.

"Young Master Han, of course we understand that, but we want to help so that we can get out of here sooner," Hang Wenshan tried to persuade him.

Han Yue sneered and said, "Leave it to the Heart Talk Team, they can handle it."

The tower was ring-shaped, and the conversations circled around so that Su Jin and her group heard every word clearly. This was the first time Su Jin felt how disgusting it was to be spoken of with such trust.

"Su Jin, don’t bother with him,"

Bai Ying was also irritated but didn’t want to cause trouble for Wei Junhao, and this wasn’t the time for arguments either.

"I’m done with this, let someone else protect them if they want. Sneaky gutter rats, just seeing them makes me sick,"

Before Su Jin could say anything, they heard a voice echoing throughout the tower. It was Xu Mingliang.

Pfft.

Sneaky gutter rats, they could almost imagine Han Yue’s expression right now.

"Truly a man of temperament,"

Wei Junhao laughed and shook his head, but under the current circumstances, if they reached Base B, given the Han Family’s character, Xu Mingliang would probably find it difficult to get by.

"Those with long-range abilities, come down to the second floor with us,"

Lu Hao said. Although the tower was quite tall, the second floor wasn’t far from the ground. He wanted to see if they could use their abilities on the second floor to take out some zombies first.

Luo Hongyi stood up immediately; he was a Thunder Element Ability User.

Following him, Bai Ying, Zhu Chang, and Wei Junhao all stood up. Their lives had been saved by the Heart Talk Team, and now, even if it was dangerous, they were willing to help.

"I want to stay with my sister,"

Mu Yunle said, taking Bai Ying’s hand.

"I’ll go with you. Even though I can’t attack, I can at least take care of Lele,"

Space Element Ability User Zheng Shu also said.

"Well, what’s there to hesitate about, let’s all go down,"

Wei Junhao took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to throw himself into the fray. His Special Ability extended beyond just helping his father tend to vegetables.

"My daughter-in-law, you..."

Lu Guanhai started to worry again, as Xiao Jin was pregnant.

"Dad, don’t worry. Once I’m downstairs, I’ll just sit at the back,"

assured Su Jin, understanding what her father-in-law was worried about. She only planned to use her Special Ability, after all. Han Yue was actually right; their Heart Talk Team could handle it. It was just a matter of time.

"Alright then,"

Lu Guanhai finally compromised. As Lu Hao’s biological mother had been frail in her youth and spent over three months bedridden while pregnant with Lu Hao, he always thought of pregnant women as very fragile.

But he saw that Su Jin still looked the same as before her pregnancy, and she hadn’t actually done anything reckless all this while, which is why he agreed.

True to her word, once Su Jin reached the second floor, she used Qiqi’s help to take an office chair with wheels out of her space and sat down on it.

The height of the office chair was just right to see the view outside the window. Su Jin then took out a row of such wheeled chairs for everyone.

"If anyone gets tired, just sit down and rest. We can take our time,"

she said, seating herself. Her casual demeanor surprised Bai Ying and the others who had just tensed up. Outside was a tide of over a hundred thousand zombies, and she wanted them to sit down?

Managing two Mutated Plants at the same time must be draining her Special Ability, Luo Hongyi thought.

But the next moment, he watched Su Jin take several small green plants from her space, throw them out the window, and urge them to grow. The vegetation outside immediately grew larger until it reached the same height as the previous Man-eating Flowers...
