Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 337 - Three Hundred Thirty-Seven Forced to Operate
Chapter 337: Chapter Three Hundred Thirty-Seven Forced to Operate
Following the route Mao Qiqi suggested, they avoided roads with many zombies and other people, even having lunch in the Space in shifts.
Lin Yunguo had already prepared everyone’s lunch, and since they could all come in to eat, there was no need to pack it separately in lunch boxes.
“Why hasn’t your sister come in to eat yet?”
Li Xiuying asked Lin Xiuyuan, who was wolfing down his food.
“She’s driving, said she’d come in last.”
Lin Xiuyuan replied, and thinking that it would be his turn to drive soon, he decided to have another chicken leg.
...
However, much to Lin Xiuyuan’s disappointment, when he finished eating and came out, Lu Hao had already taken over driving.
“Keep an eye on the road for your brother-in-law; I’m going in first,” Su Jin said.
Lu Hao insisted she rest, mentioning that with Local Tyrant Gold and Lin Xiuyuan on lookout, so she agreed. It was timely since she was hungry having driven all morning.
“Brother-in-law…”
Lin Xiuyuan felt uneasy and wanted to swap places.
“Mhm, watch the road, don’t worry.”
Lu Hao’s calm tone reassured Lin Xiuyuan a little, who then took the map and studied it attentively.
Mao Qiqi was also keeping an eye on the road conditions, but she noticed that the road ahead had been blocked again.
“Someone’s blocking the road?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Hao slowed down the car. Could they have encountered people wanting to rob them?
The reason why they couldn’t bypass the road ahead was due to a short bridge connecting the two sides. Although the water under the bridge had dried up, the only way across to the other side of the road was over the short bridge ahead.
At the moment, a group of people was standing on the bridge, with a smaller group of about five or six on one side and another group of around a dozen or twenty on the other, creating a standoff situation. It looked like they were arguing about something.
“Looks like they’re gearing up for a fight,” Lin Xiuyuan said.
“If they don’t let us through, we can’t get past here, and the alternative route is very long,” Mao Qiqi said.
The people on the broken bridge were so engrossed in their argument that they seemed to pay no attention to the car that wanted to cross. At this point, Su Jin had finished eating and come out of the Space, so Lin Xiuyuan briefed her on the situation.
“Let’s go down and see what’s going on,”

Su Jin proposed.
If possible, ask them to make way or something.
The quarrel on the short bridge continued, a man looking furious grabbed a woman by her collar and shouted, “Is that your attitude? Does the Lejia family really deserve to die?!”
“Hmph, it wasn’t me who told him to die. He chose to stand in front of me; what could I do?”
The woman’s voice was cold, and it seemed she was dressed in men’s clothing. Her navy blue top made her eyes appear even colder.
“But he, he died protecting you Special Ability Users, and to hear what you’re saying – as if mentioning him spoils your appetite!!”
The man was emotionally charged, and Su Jin felt like he was about to cry.
“Um… could you please let us through?” Lin Xiuyuan tentatively interjected from the side.
“Isn’t that just how you normal people love to behave? You think that the more you sacrifice, the more it proves your worth. If you’re willing to stand in front to protect us Special Ability Users, then go ahead and die!!!”
The woman seemed furious; she grabbed the wrist of the man a head taller than herself and threw him forcefully to the ground.
“Zhang Dong! Yu Ling! Stop fighting!”
“…”
Lin Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Su Jin and Lu Hao, it appeared no one was willing to listen to him.
Su Jin shook her head at him, clearly the argument here had heated up to a boiling point; a fight might break out between both sides any moment now.
A dispute between ordinary people and Special Ability Users?
“Enough, enough, let’s all stop arguing, aren’t we on the same team? Don’t we usually cooperate well? Didn’t we all agree that once we found a base, we would continue as a team?”
A man with his hair tied up stood between the two, trying to mediate and resolve the conflict.
“Who wants to be on a team with her? Our teammates are dead because of her. You Special Ability Users think you’re so great? Once we get there, we’ll go our separate ways!” the man continued to shout loudly.
“There’s no need to wait; we can go our separate ways right now,” the woman retorted.
“You Special Ability Users are so ungrateful. So many of us have died until now, and you always get first dibs on food and supplies. You all…”
The argument on the bridge showed no signs of stopping.
Su Jin and Lu Hao were about to step forward and ask those people to make way when Mao Qiqi suddenly grabbed Su Jin’s clothes and said, “There’s a horde of zombies coming, over 400, including many Mutated Zombies!”
“Damn it, can you make some room? We need to cross the bridge!!”
After hearing Mao Qiqi’s warning, Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but shout at the people on the bridge, but at this moment, both sides had already started scuffling, and his words did not attract anyone’s attention.
“Should we use our Special Abilities to get them down?” Lin Xiuyuan asked Su Jin.
“It’s too late now,”
Mao Qiqi said. Her mini-map always showed the presence of zombies, but she hadn’t paid special attention to them because they were scattered. To her surprise, in just a few minutes, those scattered zombies had gathered and were moving in this direction!
“It must be those two human corpses on the ground,” Lu Hao said.
On one side of the short bridge, two human bodies lay there, blood dripping from the bridge into the water below, and the zombies must have caught the scent.
At this moment, people on the short bridge also realized that something was wrong with the situation around them, but by then, a Speed Element Mutated Zombie had already charged swiftly towards the direction of Lu Hao and Su Jin!
“…”
Su Jin was somewhat speechless. So, were they being forced into action?
Mutated Zombies also preferred attacking Special Ability Users. Thus, all the Special Ability Users present, including Su Jin and her group, had become targets for the Mutated Zombies. Seeing the Speed Element Zombie, Mao Qiqi didn’t hesitate and went straight to meet it, leaving the remaining three with no choice but to also enter the fray.
Roar Roar!
A horde of zombies rushed onto the short bridge, and the struggle between Special Ability Users and ordinary people immediately turned into a battle between humans and zombies.
Sploosh!
Dozens of zombies on the grass were impaled on the spot by wooden spikes that burst from the ground, and several vines shot out, piercing through the heads of a dozen more zombies!
Lin Xiuyuan also formed an ice wall in front of himself, the front of the ice wall was lined with sharp Ice Spikes. The zombies that charged at him, moving too quickly, were impaled by the Ice Spikes, and more lethal Ice Spikes emerged from the top of the wall, stabbing straight towards the zombies!
“Amazing, so powerful,”
People on the short bridge watched Su Jin and her group; was this the power of High Level Special Ability Users?
