Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 346 - : Sightings
Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Sightings
Lu Hao drove with remarkable steadiness; even Nie Qing had no desire to hide away in the Space, refusing to slam on the brakes or the accelerator even if a zombie was about to be hit.
Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying couldn’t help but praise how comfortable the ride was with Lu Hao at the wheel.
Nie Qing didn’t mind at all that Lu Hao was directionally challenged; he felt that no matter where his disciple drove, he wasn’t afraid, as it would give him more chances to look around.
However, Su Jin and Lin Xiuyuan were constantly nervous, checking both the map and the road signs. Sometimes, when they approached a fork in the road, Su Jin would have Lu Hao stop, and then she’d consult with Lin Xiuyuan on whether to go left or right.

Now on a section of the highway, whenever they encountered obstructions ahead, Su Jin would get out of the car to first stash the obstacles in the Space and then toss them aside, which was quicker than using vines to move them.
When they reached a highway rest area, they all got out and cleared out the zombies, which was largely to show the elders in the car how they could easily kill one zombie after another.
...
“Qiqi has become so powerful?”
Li Xiuying exclaimed in amazement; she had only heard from family that Mao Qiqi was very powerful, but witnessing it firsthand still surprised her. That small body moved agilely through the crowd of zombies, and even some that were several heads taller than her were quickly dispatched by her.
“Yes, I used to think that killing zombies was so difficult, and I thought our family simply stood aside and used their Special Abilities to smash the zombies,” Lin Yunguo remarked.
Li Xiuying laughed, “Do you think it’s like the video games Xiuyuan used to play, where you just stand on the outside and hit them?”
“Grandma, am I not impressive too?”
Lin Xiuyuan felt a little slighted that the elders had only praised Mao Qiqi after he thought his dozens of Ice daggers had been in vain.
“Impressive, impressive, each one of you is very impressive, even more so than people on TV,” Li Xiuying said, reassuringly with a smile.
They could all see that among the group, Su Jin and Lu Hao were the most at ease, and they also kept watch over everyone else’s safety.
“Master Nie is like a god…”
Lin Yunguo watched Nie Qing, floating midair with envy, thinking that was practically being a deity, casting spells from above.
Nie Qing laughed heartily, “Lin family Grandpa, do you want to try? I can bring you up here!”
“No, no, I’m old and a bit afraid of heights,”
Lin Yunguo quickly waved his hands; he dared not try such heights.
Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh; Grandpa didn’t know that Nie Qing was already over two hundred years old—he was wondering who was really the older one…
The rest area wasn’t heavily infested with zombies, probably because a significant number had already been drawn to the highway.
And the rest area’s convenience store had long been picked clean by others, although Su Jin didn’t hold much hope for finding supplies there anyway.
After extracting the Crystal Cores, the group found a concealed spot behind the rest area to enter the Space. Just to be safe, Su Jin also brought the car into the Space.
Unexpectedly, the family back at the base was also in the Space at that moment.
These days, Su Xiangzhe would go to the Base Hospital at noon to bring Lin Tianhui back for lunch, so Lin Tianhui was also in the Space now.
“Mom and Dad, how do you feel? Weren’t you scared?”
As soon as the group entered, the family ran over concerned to surround Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying.
Today being the elders’ first trip out of the Space, everyone was genuinely worried they might have been frightened or felt unwell.
“Not at all. We, following Xiao Jin and the others, have seen so much,”
Su Jin could tell that Grandpa and Grandma were truly happy, and they even asked Lin Xiuyuan to bring out the camera.
The camera contained the footage that Lin Xiuyuan had shot on Ninghe Mountain, including the scenes of the plants automatically making way for them as they descended the mountain, all captured timely by him.
He knew the family would enjoy this kind of thing.
“Oh my, I so regret not going with you all!!!”
After Huang Yunxiang finished speaking, Uncle Lin Cheng and a few others also expressed their regrets. It’s the kind of situation ordinary people might never encounter in their entire lives.
Lin Xiuyuan also told the family about their encounter with the impostors Liang Jiuhui and Liang Jiuqing.
The family sighed continuously after hearing the story.
Mao Zhihang slapped the table: “These kinds of people have been reported in the news before. Many girls even committed suicide after breaking up with them. These people are simply scum!”
“Yes, I’ve seen those reports too. I didn’t expect to find such people in the Apocalypse. I really hope the Wang Chunli you spoke of can step out of that shadow.”
Su Xiangzhe also reminisced about the news reports as he spoke.
“I think she can do it, after all, the one truly guiding her in her heart was that Liang Jiuhui who was eager to save others,” Su Jin consoled.
Where there’s light, there must be hope!
“Qiqi, hey, you can’t let yourself be fooled by that kind of man in the future!”
Mao Zhihang worriedly said to Mao Qiqi.
“Isn’t that a bit too early? Qiqi is only 10 years old now, how could she be deceived by someone already?”
Lin Tianzhen thought that her little girl was still a little loli, far from the age of talking about relationships.
“Don’t worry, Daddy, Qiqi is very smart,”
Mao Qiqi wasn’t at all embarrassed.
Today, Brother Xiuyuan had asked her what kind of person she liked. Is it that when people grow up they all have to find someone they like?
The person she liked should be the most amazing person she had ever seen. Maybe he hasn’t been born yet! Mao Qiqi thought to herself and couldn’t help but laugh at her own idea.
Lin Tianzhen had already arranged a table full of dishes. Now that Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying had also gone out, she naturally became the person in charge of logistics in the Space.
However, she felt that reading books and learning about herbs in the Space was actually quite nice. Even before the Apocalypse, her heart had never been this peaceful.
Su Jin also asked Lu Guanhai with concern, whether Liu Meifang had gone to find him again.
“No, she hasn’t. I went to Heart Talk Convenience Store this morning, but she didn’t show up. Maybe she has given up already,”
Lu Guanhai optimistically said, and Su Jin could see that his mood was very good.
“Let’s hope so. But Dad, even if she comes, you don’t have to worry too much, don’t be afraid. We’ve got your back,”
Su Jin said with a smile.
Comforted by his daughter-in-law like this, Lu Guanhai also felt relieved. They had strong support in the S City Base!
Lu Guanhai immediately felt he could eat two more bowls of rice.
The food Lin Yunguo had previously made in the Space was enough to last the family for quite some time, and he had also intentionally decided not to cook any more these days. After all, there wasn’t even enough room on the racks. This was a good opportunity for everyone to use up some of the stockpile.
Everyone thought that such a journey didn’t feel tiring at all, with plenty of time in between to come in for meals and rest.
Therefore, after the meal, Su Jin happily absorbed 200 Crystal Cores into the Space. Most of these were the cores they had just obtained in the rest area. Just indulge for today!
