Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 353 - Lian Ze

Chapter 353 -353 Lian Ze

“What right do you have to steal my things!”

The woman, her head covered in blood, looking insane, lunged at Wan Peng, who was picking up flesh and bones from the ground.

She snatched the chunk of meat from Wan Peng’s hands and stuffed it into her mouth greedily.

Unable to bear it any longer, Wan Li charged at the woman, only to be blocked by Brother Li, who had suddenly rushed over.

“Wan Peng, Wan Li! What are you doing! Is the life of a dog really more important than that of a human?!”

Brother Li said angrily.

“Brother Li, Ah Wang… it was eaten!” Wan Peng said, his head bowed in hatred.

“So what if it was eaten. You two are fighting in the base, now wait for your trial! You won’t be getting any Crystal Cores this week for the team either!”

“Brother Li! You?”

The siblings wanted to say something more to Brother Li, but after he warned them, he left without any intention of listening to their explanation.

Wan Peng looked in surprise at the departing figure of Brother Li. What was he talking about? He had just been playing with Ah Wang earlier!

“Sigh!”

Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo, standing aside, sighed at the scene unfolding before them.

Mao Qiqi was also biting her lip, on the verge of tears, although she had known Ah Wang for only a day, seeing the little dog that had been bouncing around just yesterday now eaten by someone made her feel terribly upset.

Su Jin took out a transparent box from her backpack and handed it to Wan Li, saying, “Put Ah Wang inside.”

Wan Li looked up at Su Jin, nodded, took the box, but her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Local Tyrant Gold hopped into Su Jin’s arms, trembling and hugging her own shoulders. Su Jin also held Local Tyrant Gold tightly; thankfully, it did not have the habit to run around. Its restlessness might have been because it sensed something…

Meanwhile, the mother with the child was still on the ground, desperately picking and eating, even the child squatted down and imitated her, picking up a chunk of flesh and started eating.

“This is my food, it’s the meal I made, you can’t steal it…”

The woman spoke, even with her mouth full of food.

Wan Li and Wan Peng only packed the piece of skin and fur soaked with blood, and Wan Peng also put Ah Wang’s dog chain inside the box before the siblings carried it out towards their dormitory.

Lin Xiuyuan glared at the woman and child on the ground, wishing he could go up and slap them both; Wan Li had even shared a piece of her bread with them yesterday, talk about being repaid with ingratitude!

“Let’s go, Xiuyuan!”

Lin Yunguo said, his heart also heavy, but it was time for them to leave.

“Where are you… planning to go?”

Su Jin asked, walking beside Wan Peng and Wan Li.

“I want to leave this place,” Wan Peng muttered.

Wan Li finally regained a hint of clarity in her eyes, and looking at her brother, she asked, “Where can we go if we leave? Didn’t we agree to keep surviving the Apocalypse freely?”

“Trial,” Lu Hao reminded from the side.

It was only then that Wan Li remembered; in the heat of the moment, they seemed to have fought in public, and even if they didn’t leave, they would be publicly tried by the people of the base and driven out.

“I feel that here, freedom is just a means, not the true purpose of this base, but of course, that’s just our feeling,”

Su Jin remarked.

“Then where can we, still go…”

Wan Li paused and said; could it be that she and her brother were destined to drift aimlessly in the Apocalypse?

“Let’s check out the S City Base,”

After saying this, Su Jin bid farewell to the siblings.

They, too, had to leave this place.

This place was simply.

Too unfree!

Moreover, each of them was still feeling blocked; though killing a dog wasn’t illegal even before the Apocalypse, for those who considered dogs as family, it was the cruelest thing…

…

In a deserted corner outside the Freedom Dawn Base, Su Jin finally brought out their armored vehicle, and Lu Hao took the driver’s seat of his own volition.

“…”

As someone who had a terrible sense of direction, yet loved to drive so much, what was that about?

Su Jin glanced at the map in her hand, but ultimately decided to let Lu Hao drive for a while. They were not far from E City now, and the road ahead was almost a straight highway.

After driving for a while, Nie Qing realized they seemed to have forgotten something.

“Girl, did we forget something?”

Was this feeling due to his old age and poor memory?

“No, everything has been put into the space,”

replied Su Jin, puzzled, as she had even placed the tablet into the space.

“The people we tied up last night,”

Lu Hao reminded her.

“Damn! We actually forgot about those guys!!”

Lin Xiuyuan regretted it immensely. He had planned to keep those people for a bit of entertainment, how could he have forgotten?

“…”

Su Jin also remembered then. Because of Ah Wang’s matter, they really had forgotten about those people.

But… forget it if they forgot!

They tried to steal but didn’t get away with much, were scared senseless, and ended up tied outside for the better part of a night. For their family, it wasn’t really a loss.

Once this was pointed out, Lin Xiuyuan and Nie Qing stopped fussing over it.

“We should be able to reach E City today, right?” Li Xiuying asked.

“It’s possible, Grandma. The map shows it’s not far now. It will be even better if we can get off the highway smoothly,”

Lin Xiuyuan replied while examining the map.

————————————————

Inside the research institute of the E City Base, Huo Qi finally saw the door to the operating room open.

He had been waiting outside the operating room for two whole days, while the person inside had stayed there for an entire two days…

He knew that the person inside was a medical research genius who, at the age of fifteen, had made a name for himself in the world of medicine by developing the most convenient detection method for pancreatic cancer. The media even called him the messenger who brought the dawn of life to cancer patients.

Indeed, he did not understand the world of a genius.

At that moment, a person covered in blood and dark blood, emerged from the open door.

His protective gear was thoroughly in place: a mask, goggles, long disposable gloves, and a protective suit stained with blood.

Lian Ze took off all the protective gear by the trash can beside him. Even though it was already deep autumn, Lian Ze was still sweating profusely after removing the protective gear.

The young nurse untying the straps behind him thought that Dean Lian’s every move was so captivating, always looking handsome and untouchable, even now with strands of black hair sticking to his forehead and the top of his head.

Lian Ze took a bottle of water handed to him by the nurse, tilted his head back to drink from it as he looked sideways at Huo Qi, who was standing nearby.

He downed the entire bottle quickly, then threw the empty bottle into the dark green trash can with a loud thump.

“Did Mother send you?” asked Lian Ze.

“Yes, Dean Lian. Madam Han said there is some material for you that she thought you would be interested in,”

Huo Qi responded nervously, not knowing why the scent of blood radiating from Lian Ze made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

At that moment, a mobile hospital bed was wheeled out from the operating room.

Though it was covered with a black cloth, Huo Qi still jumped when he saw a hand dangling down from the bed.

It looked like a woman’s hand, pale and slender, but the sharp black-grey nails were unmistakably those of a zombie…

Had Dean Lian finally transitioned from animal experiments to human subjects?
