Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 343 - Three Hundred and Forty-Three: Same Name
Chapter 343: Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Three: Same Name
“Everyone, be cautious,”
Lu Hao turned his head and spoke to the people behind him.
At that moment, four individuals emerged from a narrow alley beside the crossroad. A tall man in the middle appeared to have a smile on his face, but his eyes greedily sized up the armored vehicle from front to back.
Next to the man was a girl, somewhat short and chubby, holding what looked like a cumbersome hammer. She walked expressionlessly beside him, seemingly indifferent to everything.
There were two more men behind them, both wielding machetes or similar weapons.
“This really is, the arrival of no good,” Lin Xiuyuan said.
...
“Could this be the legendary robbery?”
Lin Yunguo asked Li Xiuying beside him, both wearing expressions of excitement mixed with nervousness.
Su Jin, who had originally intended to bring her grandparents into the “Space”: …
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Or perhaps, they should stay and watch the show?
Su Jin looked towards Lu Hao, who also had a smiling expression and said, “It’s okay, we’ll do it together.”
The four outsiders had already approached the vehicle. The tall man knocked on the window with a smile, and Lu Hao promptly opened the car door and stepped out.
Su Jin and Lin Xiuyuan helped Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying out of the car, while Nie Qing held onto Mao Qiqi who was behind them.
“Bro, where are you heading?” the man asked.
“E City Base,” Lu Hao replied.
“Yo, E City Base, huh? Pretty impressive, traveling with the elderly and children,”
the man said with a smile looking at the elderly couple and Mao Qiqi being led by Nie Qing. When he first saw Lu Hao coming out of the car, he was somewhat wary, but then several old people and a child followed, along with a delicate-looking woman and another young man who looked clean-cut and not very intimidating.
Moreover, these people were all dressed in clean clothes, hinting that they might have plenty of supplies.
“Do you need something? We need to keep moving,” Lu Hao said.
“What could we possibly need? Why don’t you guys stop by our place to rest a bit? I’ll get someone to clear this road for you in a bit,”
the man gestured towards the narrow alley behind him.
“No thanks, we’re in a hurry. We can clear the road ourselves,”
Lu Hao didn’t know what these people were up to, but he didn’t trust that they’d actually be helpful in clearing the road.
“Xiao Lei, why all the chatter when Sister Jiuqing’s instructions were clear?”
One of the men from behind spoke with impatience.
“Seriously, Chunli, hurry up. Brother Jiuhui will surely commend you once you’re back,”
another man said with a carefree laugh.
Jiuqing, Jiuhui?
These names…
“Excuse me, the Jiuhui and Jiuqing you mentioned…”
Su Jin couldn’t help but ask.
To her surprise, the girl holding the hammer immediately ran forward excitedly, asking, “You know Big Brother Jiuhui too? Did he save you as well?”
Not only Su Jin was left with a multitude of questions hanging above her head, but Lu Hao and the others were also staring at the girl with faces full of question marks.
“Liang Jiuhui, Liang Jiuqing?” Lin Xiuyuan inquired.
Apart from Wang Chunli, who looked even more delighted, the others were shocked. Could these people actually know Brother Jiuhui? In that case, they couldn’t afford to neglect them.
“Yes, yes, yes, Liang Jiuhui is our boss. You know him?” Shi Xiaolei said excitedly.
“…”
It was more than just recognition; Liang Jiuhui and Liang Jiuqing couldn’t possibly be here at this time, unless someone was impersonating them. But who on earth would be masquerading as the two of them?
Even Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying were aware that Liang Jiuhui and Liang Jiuqing were people from the S City base. What in the world was going on?
The group exchanged glances and decided to go with these people to take a look. Lin Xiuyuan even suspected that Liang Jiuhui and Liang Jiuqing had been abducted from thousands of miles away.
Seeing that the group was willing to follow them, Shi Xiaolei hesitated for a moment but then decided to take them to see. Even if they didn’t recognize each other, they could let Chunli take care of them when the time came.
“And your vehicle?”
Shi Xiaolei pointed at the armored car and asked; the narrow alley up ahead was simply too small for the vehicle to pass through.
“Leave it here. We’ll walk with you,” Lu Hao said.
After Lu Hao spoke, he glanced at Su Jin. Su Jin nodded and went to drive the car, while Shi Xiaolei and the others were preoccupied with talking to Lu Hao.
Su Jin drove the car to a blind spot out of everyone’s view and then put the vehicle into her space.
“All right, let’s go.”
Su Jin quickly caught up from behind and said.
“So, do you know Brother Jiuhui as well?”
The girl named Chunli, still holding a hammer, deliberately slowed down and asked Su Jin.
“I do. How do you know him?”
Su Jin asked with interest; this girl seemed to genuinely know “Liang Jiuhui.”
“That was years ago. My family lived in the countryside, and during the earthquake a few years back, I was rescued by Brother Jiuhui. I never expected to encounter the Apocalypse and still be able to repay him. Truly, heaven has eyes!”
Wang Chunli spoke with a heavy hometown accent, but Su Jin and the others understood that the girl was seeking to repay someone named Liang Jiuhui.
This just got interesting.
At that moment, one of the men ahead joked, “If this Chunli were a great beauty, maybe the boss would’ve taken her in by now. What a pity, she’s a real uggo.”
The other two men laughed upon hearing this; they all knew Jiuhui had saved Wang Chunli in the past, which was why she was so intent on repaying the favor, and she was basically the one who took care of most of the zombies in the team.
Wang Chunli heard them, too, but she wasn’t angry; she knew she was indeed very ugly, and even in the post-apocalyptic world, she hadn’t slimmed down. Her former body fat had, through relentless effort, turned into strong muscles; she no longer saw herself as a woman.
All that mattered to her was to stand by Brother Jiuhui’s side to help him, she thought to herself.
“How about you guys? How do you know Brother Jiuhui?”
Wang Chunli, not dwelling on sadness, asked with her small eyes gleaming with curiosity, leaving Su Jin not sure what to say.
“We just met him a while ago,” Lu Hao replied.
Is that so, having just met implies the friendship isn’t that deep, does it?
The men exchanged looks, and the ill intent in their eyes inadvertently revealed itself once again.
“That’s great, Brother Jiuhui will definitely be very happy to see you,”
Wang Chunli said cheerfully, seeming genuinely pleased with these people; she really liked them.
“Let’s hope we don’t give them a shock,” Lin Xiuyuan murmured quietly.
“What did you say?”
Wang Chunli turned to ask, her plain face full of simplicity.
“Nothing, I was saying that we’re also looking forward to meeting them,” Lin Xiuyuan covered.
“Right, I couldn’t even remember what Brother Jiuhui looked like at the time; fortunately, I still remembered his name,”
Amidst Wang Chunli’s excited explanation, the group had reached the place Shi Xiaolei had mentioned. It was a residential house with tall walls that seemed reinforced and heightened by an Earth Element Ability User’s power, making the yard seem very dark due to the tall walls.
