Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 359 - : Can Walk Now

Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Can Walk Now

Although Su Jin had only placed two man-eating flowers, they were equivalent to the combat power of two people.

Xiao Cui, probably because she hadn’t eaten in a long time, ate very quickly.

Originally, Su Jin had spurred the growth of the plants against the wall, but by now, both plants completely blocked the alley entrance, intercepting almost all passing zombies and swallowing them whole.

It was only after the number of zombies in the vicinity had significantly decreased that Su Jin and the others noticed the situation in the alleys.

Why were fewer and fewer zombies coming out of the alley?

Su Jin, while pulling a vine from the head of a metal element zombie, turned to look.

What she saw surprised her.

The man-eating flowers, now completely blocking the alley entrance, propped themselves up with several leaves against the walls, preventing any zombies from getting out, and selectively leaned down to devour a side where zombies were gathering the most…

The man-eating flower… can it walk now?

Feeling Xiao Cui seemingly pleasing her delightfully inside her body, Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you love eating this much?”

…

After a fierce battle, only nine people remained in Cen Chu’s team. Cen Chu also knew that if it weren’t for the ice wall separating them, more zombies would have surged forward, and they might have been completely annihilated.

Now that they had cleared the surrounding zombies, everyone silently extracted crystal cores.

Losing teammates was a recurring event whenever they left the base. This time, since they had taken on a distant mission, they experienced the most losses.

But then, who isn’t living on the edge in the apocalypse?

Suppressing the feeling of his special ability waning, Cen Chu looked towards the ice wall, wondering how those people on the other side were faring, whether they might have already…

Lin Xiuyuan grabbed a piece of cool and refreshing watermelon with his cleaned hands and began to eat.

“Ah, that’s really refreshing, having ice watermelon after a big sweat,” exclaimed Lin Xiuyuan.

“Old Lu grows good watermelons, they quench thirst better than water, and they even contain spiritual power.”

Sitting in the car, Nie Qing was quite satisfied.

The family inside the space had already prepared the watermelon slices when they heard Su Jin mention they were fighting zombies, so after Su Jin retrieved the man-eating flowers, she immediately brought out a big plate of watermelon into the car.

“That should be enough, I’ll go check if they are done on their side,” said Nie Qing, putting down a watermelon rind.

They had been resting for a while, considering that removing the ice wall too early might make others think they were too strong, so they stayed in the car to rest after extracting the crystal cores.

“Yeah, we’ve rested for half an hour now, let’s check it out,” said Lu Hao, glancing at the time.

Nie Qing tried looking over the top of the ice wall and saw that those people were indeed extracting crystal cores.

“Let me finish this slice, and then I’ll go remove it,” said Lin Xiuyuan, stuffing his mouth full of watermelon.

Just as Cen Chu prepared to walk up and knock on the ice wall to test it, the ice wall disappeared before his eyes, replaced by the smiling face of a young man.

“You guys…”

Cen Chu looked at the young man in astonishment, observing the corpses of numerous zombies behind him and a few people standing next to the car.

Had they really killed all the zombies behind them?

The real surprise was that all these people were completely unharmed?

“Are you guys okay? Then shall we continue our journey?” Lin Xiuyuan said with a beaming smile.

“Young man, may I ask what level of ice element you are?” Cen Chu asked.

Lin Xiuyuan’s eyes flickered as he recalled the ice wall he had just conjured up, and he suddenly felt that he had been somewhat hasty. Who would believe it was only Level Two now?

“Cough, I’m at Level Three with my Ice-Element Abilities,”

Lin Xiuyuan responded. Although he was already a Level Four Ice-Element Ability User, he had agreed to keep his true strength hidden, hence the slight deception.

However, Cen Chu’s eyes were already filled with admiration. A Level Three in Ice Element Abilities was unprecedented in the E City base, wasn’t it?

Ice-Element Special Abilities were scarce to begin with, and there were only a few in the E City base, most of whom had awakened after the Red Rain.

Cen Chu wanted to continue asking about the Special Ability Levels of Lu Hao and Nie Qing, but he knew that probing further could be bothersome. These people were clearly experts, and it was better not to offend them.

So, he chatted with them for a while and then started walking back.

“If you have any questions at the base, feel free to ask me,” Cen Chu offered kindly to the group.

“Okay, thank you,”

Lu Hao nodded. Indeed, they were completely unfamiliar with E City.

Zhuozhuo watched the people chatting with Cen Chu. She wanted to join them but had no energy left; the emptiness from her drained Special Abilities made her feel nauseous.

By then, Cen Chu had walked back. He frowned at Zhuozhuo’s condition, sighed, and said, “Those people are out of your league.”

…

Perhaps all the zombies in the surrounding streets had already been drawn away, because they managed to reach the E City base before nightfall.

Cen Chu had already told them that without an identity tag, they would need to pay with Crystal Cores to enter.

Seeing the base, which was less than half the size of S City Base and had walls barely thicker than regular walls, Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but take photos of the scenery from inside the car.

“But this place is still much better than that university town base,”

Lin Xiuyuan said as he took the photos.

At least the inspection at the entrance was very strict; the inspectors even checked their trunk and the inside of their car.

“No supplies?”

The staff seemed a bit dissatisfied, as the people looked clean and he had hoped there might be some supplies he could skim off.

Could it be a Space Element Ability?

“We’ve eaten everything, what’s left is in our bags,” Lu Hao replied expressionlessly.

Not many people were entering E City base, probably because not many went out daily. At the entrance, there were only Su Jin’s group and Cen Chu’s team.

“You five need to pay 300 Crystal Cores to enter the base for the first time,”

said a uniformed staff member at a simple makeshift desk.

“This base is too exploitative,”

Nie Qing also felt pained by the 300 Crystal Cores.

After hesitating for a while, Su Jin took some Crystal Cores from her bag and pretended to take some more from the others’ bags as well.

The staff, unsurprised, collected the Crystal Cores and asked someone nearby to start counting them.

It was common for people wanting to enter the base to lack enough Crystal Cores, so being able to produce 300 Crystal Cores all at once was quite impressive for newcomers.

Cen Chu’s team did not have to pay Crystal Cores, so they had already gone inside. He told his team to head back, but he decided to wait inside the gate for Lu Hao and his group.

Zhuozhuo had also wanted to wait, but a glance from Cen Chu made her too intimidated to stay, and she was indeed too tired today, so she gave up.

After parking their vehicle in the open area outside the base, Lu Hao led Su Jin and Lin Xiuyuan inside.

Upon seeing them, Cen Chu immediately approached and said, “You haven’t found a place to stay yet, right? Shall I take you to the rental office?”
