Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 347 - : Freedom Dawn Base
Chapter 347 -347: Freedom Dawn Base
After a satisfying lunch, Su Jin, in order to let her grandparents rest more, dragged Lu Hao to take a nap for a while.
Nie Qing and Lin Xiuyuan also returned to their own rooms to rest for a bit.
They had stayed in the space for about three to four hours, while only about 20 minutes had passed outside.
Seeing the grandparents refreshed, Su Jin then planned to go out with the others, and Local Tyrant Gold consciously hopped onto Su Jin’s body.
The entrance to the space where the group went was behind a secluded booth at the rest stop. But when they came out of the booth again, they suddenly heard voices of people talking not far away!
With quick reflexes, Su Jin took the group’s backpacks out of the space. The armored car was too big of a target, and she also worried that if someone saw the armored vehicle, they might want to rob it, so she temporarily decided not to take it out.
“There are seven people, and a very small mutant animal,” Mao Qiqi said.
Mutant animal?
Were those people fighting a mutant animal?
“No, that mutant animal has been following those people,” Mao Qiqi said after sensing it.
“Woof woof!”
A series of dog barks came through, and everyone looked at each other in dismay. Could it be a mutant dog?
“Ah Wang, slow down!”
As the barking grew closer, Su Jin and the others readied their defenses. However, when the dog came around the corner, they discovered that the so-called mutant dog was actually leashed?!
The mutant dog was about the same size as a normal dog, with a coat of yellow and white, and its shiny black eyes made it especially endearing.
Following after, a young man looking about eighteen or nineteen years old came running out, leading the dog on a leash. He was momentarily surprised to see Su Jin and the others but then shouted joyfully to the others behind him, “Everyone, come here, there are people here!”
The dog was still barking at Su Jin and the others while Local Tyrant Gold had already retreated into Su Jin’s backpack in fright.
After the young man told the dog to stop barking, the mutant dog actually obediently quieted down.
“Sorry about that, Ah Wang always barks like this at strangers,” the young man said, smiling apologetically.
In the midst of talking, the young man’s companions also came over and were quite surprised to see Su Jin and the others.
“Hello, we are from a nearby base. My name is Wan Peng,” the young man leading the dog introduced himself first.
Lu Hao and Su Jin also introduced themselves and then said they were just passing by and resting here.
“Where’s your vehicle?” Wan Peng asked.
“…”
Su Jin glanced at Lu Hao. The vehicle? The vehicle’s in the space…
“We just crashed into a zombie and it’s totaled. We were planning to find another one,” Lu Hao answered.
“I see you are not having an easy time with the elderly and a child. Why don’t you ride with us? We can give you a lift,” suggested a short-haired woman who came forward from behind Wan Peng.
“My name is Wan Li, Wan Peng’s sister,” the woman said, showing friendliness to the group. She thought that in the apocalypse, those who were still with elders and a child couldn’t be bad people. Moreover, the two elderly and the child didn’t seem like they had been through much hardship, so she had a good first impression of them.
“No need to trouble you like that. We’ll just find another vehicle,” Su Jin said, turning down the offer elegantly, with her family echoing in agreement. They did not want to be with anyone else…
“It’s no trouble at all, our bus is a double-decker, the very large kind,” Wan Peng insisted, pointing to a blue double-decker bus in the distance.
“Yeah, and you can’t make it to E City today anyway, so why not stay at our base for the night before continuing? After all, if you’re going to E City, you’ll pass by our base anyway,” Wan Li also urged with great effort.
“Mm-hmm, our base is really nice. I think once you visit, you won’t want to head to the base in E City anymore,” Wan Peng said with a face full of pride.
Is there such a base?
“What’s the name of your base?”
Curious, Su Jin asked, as they were now on the edge of S City, where there shouldn’t be any local bases.
“Our base is called the Freedom Dawn Base,”
the slim and tall man behind Wan Li said.
Freedom Dawn…
What the heck is that?
Su Jin wanted to say that she had never heard of this base in her previous life. In the two years of the Apocalypse, indeed some bases had names, but she was genuinely hearing the name “Freedom Dawn Base” for the first time.
Seeing her curiosity, Lu Hao whispered in her ear, “Want to check it out?”
Su Jin turned to consult with Nie Qing and the others, and they all seemed equally curious about this base.
“Just the name sounds righteous. Let’s go take a look,” Nie Qing said.
“Yeah, Xiao Jin, it’s not often we get to visit a base, and we still don’t know what a base is like,” Lin Yunguo also said.
Seeing everyone in such unanimous agreement, Su Jin quickly made a decision.
“Then we’ll trouble you,”
she said with a smile to the group.
“It’s no trouble at all, let me tell you, our base is really great…”
Wan Peng, leading his Ah Wang, walked along while telling the others about their base.
The more Su Jin and the others heard, the more amazed they became. The Freedom Dawn Base actually had no base management?!
Consistent with its name, the Freedom Dawn Base was formed spontaneously by some survivors. The only condition to enter the base is not to fight within the base; otherwise, the people would judge and expel the offender, and everyone was allowed to participate in the judgment. Housing within the base was also free, with no rent required, though water and electricity had to be purchased separately at the water and power supply stations.
In short, it was a place where everyone was free to come and go, and trade freely.
“I heard that to enter E City’s base, each person has to pay a large amount of Crystal Cores or goods. Our base allows free entry without payment, and you can even choose your own housing, how about it? Are you tempted?”
Wan Peng, the younger brother, said excitedly.
“Sounds good, this is a fresh stream in the post-apocalyptic bases,”
Lin Xiuyuan also felt that the base was not bad, it was truly a paradise for those who yearned for freedom!
“Hmm, sounds good,”
Lu Hao had doubts, but he knew it was not the place to voice them, especially since aside from Wan Peng and his sister Wan Li, the others also proudly discussed the base.
Su Jin was already sitting on the double-decker bus with her grandparents. She couldn’t help but admit that the bus’s interior space was really huge.
Sitting in her seat, Su Jin racked her brain to recall the bases she had heard of in her previous life. Why had she never heard of Freedom Dawn Base in her last life? Was she too ignorant or had she simply forgotten?

“If there’s no management layer, does that mean there’s no Base Leader either?” Su Jin asked Wan Li.
“Yes, our base is a place without tyranny and policy constraints, where anyone can be their own master, allowing everyone to become more self-reliant,” Wan Li replied.
Su Jin nodded, to be your own master, huh?
It sounded truly appealing.
