Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

“You can’t be saying things like that, kiddo. I heard you hired two very skilled masters, and I’m just a bit shocked by their abilities,”

Jia Kaiji tried to steady himself, and seeing this, Jia Yue quickly stood by his side to support him.

“Uncle Jia, it’s windy on the city wall, and the walkway is uneven. You should be careful,”

Liang Jiuhui didn’t directly respond to Jia Kaiji’s remark.

“Hmph, this city wall of yours, it really should be properly paved,”

As they spoke, a crowd of onlookers had gathered around them. After Jia Kaiji finished his comment, he left the place, followed by Jia Yue, who inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure in the crowd.

Is that him?

Why is he still here?

Xia Ying was brought by Xia Mufei to the very center of the city wall they were constructing to see the last of the survivors being relocated today.

The previous night, Xia Mufei had somehow gotten hold of a pack of corn. Because the two of them hadn’t spoken for days, Xia Mufei poured the corn onto a plate and placed it in the center of the dining table, as if to say he was free to help himself.

However, he just glanced at it and didn’t touch the corn.

It wasn’t that he was angry with Xia Mufei, he just felt that something he had always held on to was starting to waver. Killing Liang Wei had always been his goal, but…

He thought of the words Shao Zian had said to him: Who isn’t in hell these days…

According to Jia Kaiji’s plan, he was supposed to be at the refuge early that day, then, while the safety wall was broken and the refuge in chaos, he would take out Liang Wei.

However, just before leaving, while packing his things, he found a plump piece of corn lying inside his pillow…

He stood in front of the bed looking at the corn for a long time, and then he couldn’t help but laugh.

On a whim, he didn’t go anywhere that day.

Xia Mufei, as usual, woke up early. He was surprised to see Xia Ying sitting on the sofa, but then he lowered his eyes, thinking that if Xia Ying didn’t speak to him first, he wouldn’t speak either.

“Thank you for the corn, it was really good,”

came the cool voice of a man, which seemed to carry a hint of amusement.

Xia Ying felt like the sleepy eyes of Xia Mufei suddenly brightened up.

“No need to mention it, I just knew nobody would find Uncle Lin’s corn unsatisfying. Wasn’t it sweet?” Xia Mufei asked gleefully.

“It was okay,”

With those three words, Xia Mufei finally smiled in satisfaction. The feeling of making amends with a friend is really great…

“Xia Ying, Xia Ying, look, there are so many buses coming!” On the not-yet-finished city wall, Xia Mufei squeezed through to join his teammates in the excitement. ɌА𐌽ÖᛒÈŠ

Moreover, each bus was packed with people, some even standing.

“That’s great, everyone is safe,”

Xia Mufei said, smiling joyfully.

“Yes, all thanks to Mayor Liang Wei. If he hadn’t set up the refuge, we might still have no home to go to,” said an older man standing nearby.

“I also heard that Base Leader Liang Jiuhui spent a lot of money to hire masters to escort survivors all the way. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it has,”

“Ah, if only I had that kind of skill. We’re all Special Ability Users, but why such a big gap?” someone in the crowd sighed.

Lin Cheng and the other two couldn’t help but smile with a mix of amusement and pride as they listened to the surrounding chatter. Unknowingly, Xiao Jin and their party had become the formidable masters everyone talked about. It seemed their previous training and adventures weren’t in vain after all.

Liang Jiuqing stared excitedly at an arm stretching out of the vehicle below the city wall, the wristwatch on the arm was one she had saved her pocket money to buy for Liang Wei before the Apocalypse, and although it was not an expensive watch, Liang Wei had always worn it.

Only when all three thermometers showed green did Liang Jiuqing indicate that they could pass through directly.

Suddenly, Liang Jiuqing felt the heaviness that had clogged her heart all day lift, knowing her dad had arrived safely at the base put her mind at ease.

The other staff members didn’t say anything; they knew these people were the few assigned to escort the Survivors back.

They just thought that Su Jin and her companions were really too low-key, always leaving immediately after safely delivering the Survivors.

Liang Jiuhui had also come down from the city wall, but beside him, along with Guan Hong and Xu Shi, there was an additional woman wearing a veil.

“Did you get a clear look?” Liang Jiuhui asked as he walked.

“Got a clear look, one of them is from the group we saw yesterday,”

Sheng Jing said through gritted teeth.

Her face had been almost fully healed by Lin Tianhui’s treatment, but there were still some pinkish lines that needed time for the skin to heal itself. After inspecting her wound, Doctor Yao from the medical team suggested she should avoid exposure to light as much as possible for the next few days. However, when she heard that those people might be at the base, she insisted on coming out with Liang Jiuhui, and just now, she really saw one of those people!

Liang Jiuhui nodded to show he understood, that made things easier to handle.

But right now, he needed to make a trip back.

His father should be arriving soon, too.

When Su Jin and the others delivered Liang Wei to his residence as Liang Jiuhui had requested, Liang Jiuhui also just happened to return from outside.

“We still have to thank you for this time,”

Seeing Liang Wei, Liang Jiuhui truly let go of his worry, no matter who was lurking in the shadows at the base, he would protect Liang Wei.

“No need for thanks, our mission is complete, we’re heading back now,” Lu Hao said.

Su Jin and the others did not linger, believing that the father and son had a lot to talk about.

“Ah, managing a base is no easy task,” Lin Xiuyuan said as he stepped in, slipping off his shoes.

“That’s because you lack ambition. Aren’t people vying for the chance to be an emperor in ancient times?” Huang Yunxiang said.

“Mom, can’t you give me a bit of maternal affection?”

He somehow felt that his own mother was constantly criticizing him.

As they entered the house, they collapsed onto the sofa, completely drained.

Strangely enough, people often feel energetic when they are outside, not tired at all, but the moment they arrive home and see a cushy sofa, they can’t help but want to lean on it and feel utterly exhausted.

Right now, Su Jin was experiencing this exact feeling. Fortunately, the villa’s main hall was spacious and the couch set was a luxurious one; otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough space for all of them to sit.

Local Tyrant Gold, too, lay spread-eagled in its nest, looking utterly content.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle…

Someone’s stomach began to protest. Su Jin suddenly realized that they had only eaten breakfast that day, not even having a break for lunch, and everyone must be hungry.

“Let’s go wash up first, and then we’ll have some afternoon tea,”

Su Jin stood and said, as it was not yet time for dinner. They could have some afternoon tea before Lin Cheng and Guo Yang returned to tide them over.

“Great, great, afternoon tea sounds wonderful!”

Nie Qing’s spirits lifted at the mention, as the Lin family’s grandfather not only cooked superb dishes, but his pastries were top-notch as well.
