Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 535: Back in Action

Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Back in Action

Xing Taining woke up again in a ward at the Base Hospital, Liang Jiuqing was dozing off by his side.

The ward housed only the two of them, and Xing Taining suddenly felt that his fainting this time wasn’t so bad.

Feeling Xing Taining move, Liang Jiuqing also quickly awoke.

"You should sleep some more as well, this time I’ll accompany you,"

said Xing Taining. He could see that Liang Jiuqing was also very tired, probably hadn’t rested since last night until now.

"How are you feeling?"

Liang Jiuqing was still somewhat worried. Before, when he collapsed in the field, he was almost pounced on by a zombie, saved only by Ye Rongxin’s bullet that took out the creature.

"Did I sleep for a long time?"

Xing Taining felt that his previously depleted special ability had almost recovered, which normally wouldn’t have been possible without a full night’s rest.

Yet it was still broad daylight outside.

"Not long, just two or three hours,"

Liang Jiuqing checked her watch; it was still the afternoon of the same day.

Xing Taining found it strange. Had he leveled up, and that’s why his ability was restored?

But he also knew that was impossible. Liang Jiuqing told him that during that time, Aunt Lin, Su Jin’s mother, had come to treat him for a while, and Su Jin had stayed in the hospital with her for a bit before leaving.

"Perhaps the healing element ability has some benefits for the body,"

Xing Taining speculated. Zhou Chengren had mentioned before, after being severely injured and treated at the Base Hospital, that the treatments from Director Lin’s healing element ability felt very comfortable.

"No kidding, that’s the famous Doctor Lin from our hospital. You were lucky today, you happened to meet the Heart Talk Team who were about to go out and help,"

Liang Jiuqing reassured Xing Taining when she saw that he had fully recovered.

"They went out again? Are they all rested?"

Xing Taining asked in surprise; people at the S City Base were really going all out.

"Otherwise, how could they be an SS-ranked strong team?"

Liang Jiuqing shrugged, feeling that it was normal for the Heart Talk Team to be like this. They didn’t understand the world of powerful teams and she didn’t bother to understand either, content just to cheer on Su Jin and the others from the sideline.

"Yeah, right, I’m ready to go kill a few more myself,"

Xing Taining felt as if he had returned to the time when he had led a group of survivors with Su Jin in the gymnasium to kill a horde of zombies. Just earlier in the field, a similar feeling surged as he and his brothers, who had come with him from D City, killed zombies together.

Liang Jiuqing didn’t object, and she also wanted to see the situation outside.

Above the field, everyone showed deep respect for the Heart Talk Team’s return to the fray, along with some surprise, even though only half of the team members had come this time.

During the Zombie Tide, since people were no longer holed up at home, quite a few went to the Heart Talk Store to buy supplies.

And Ding He, the person in charge of logistics at the base, also found the Heart Talk Team and wanted to buy 500 bags of rice or flour from the Heart Talk Store at retail price. Su Jin didn’t hesitate at all and left the matter to Mao Zhihang and Lin Tianzhen to handle.

Now that Nie Qing’s storage bag didn’t need to be used for Crystal Cores anymore, Su Jin filled it with some supplies for Mao Zhihang. He only had to take them out of the small storage at the Heart Talk Branch with the storage bag.

Ding He had not expected that they would actually be able to buy supplies from the Heart Talk Store; 500 bags of food was no small amount, which suggested that the Heart Talk Team had considerable strength to run two Heart Talk Stores in the base.

Su Jin was also happy, as the revenue of the two stores had recently decreased, and the food in the space had accumulated quite a bit. To say nothing of 500 bags, she would be extremely willing even if Ding He bought 5000 bags.

Aside from Mao Zhihang and Lin Tianzhen, when Su Jin and the others left, they didn’t disturb the rest of Guo Yang and the rest, so now the Heart Talk Team only had 10 people participating in the battle.

When Xing Taining and Liang Jiuqing passed by the temporary aid station, it had already been filled with injured people. Xing Taining, who wanted to thank Lin Tianhui, saw she was too busy to even touch the ground with her feet, so he had no choice but to let it go.

Meanwhile, the Heart Talk Team on the field was cooperating with Captain Jian Zongzheng’s team in combat.

Zhang Chuyang was very excited; this was his first time participating in a base’s defense against a Zombie Tide, and he was doing it together with Su Jin and the others.

As soon as Su Jin and Lu Hao entered the field, they made sure that everyone was completely protected, and there had not been any casualties yet.

"Su Jin, Su Jin, do you see if I’ve become more powerful recently? I’m much stronger than before."

Zhang Chuyang, holding a short knife, swiftly moved among several zombies, and after he passed by, the heads of several zombies fell to the ground in response.

"Not bad, it seems you’ve been consistently training."

Su Jin was still sitting atop a plant, just using her Wood Element Ability to kill zombies.

"Hehe, Captain Jian and the others have helped me,"

Zhang Chuyang said, especially recently since they could not go out. Jian Zongzheng, Yin Qiu, and several others had even developed many physical training plans. Their team had never been idle, and even Wang Zhu had participated.

"And me, and me, I’ve also helped Yangyang,"

Han Xiao, while controlling Water Arrows, came over and said, fearing that she would be overlooked.

"Be careful!"

A green net made of vines blocked an Earth Spike thrown by an Earth Element Mutated Zombie for Han Xiao. Without time to express her thanks, Han Xiao then faced off against that Earth Element Zombie.

At this moment, Lu Hao and Nie Qing were cooperating with each other using the Mysterious Fire Fan, attracting the attention of those who were vigilant to the power of the Mysterious Fire Fan.

With the fan’s use, the zombie area in front of them had turned into a sea of fire, and the ground, originally covered with snow, became scorched earth after the zombies were burned to ashes—though it was quickly filled again by more zombies from behind.

"Apprentice, don’t you think the two of us are a perfect match? One lights the fire, the other fans the flames, hehehe,"

Nie Qing, floating in the air with his Wind Element Ability, was still fanning away merrily.

"..."

Lu Hao did not know how to respond; he felt that he and Su Jin were the perfect match.

The Man-eating Flowers continued to consume, and Su Jin used her Special Ability generously. At this moment, she had the entire field under her control, with a vine plant at regular intervals. Should any location face danger, she could control the vines to help immediately.

Lu Guanhai, however, was starting to feel overwhelmed. Su Jin checked the time; indeed, they had been on the field for two hours already. She saw that some people from Captain Jian Zongzheng’s team and other teams had already stepped down.

She then suggested to Su Xiangzhe and the others to go rest off the field first. After all, the Special Ability Levels differed, and there was no need for the family to overexert themselves to keep up with them.

"Okay, I’ll take them to your mother’s place to rest,"

Su Xiangzhe nodded and then led Lu Guanhai, Lin Cheng, Huang Yunxiang, and Mao Qiqi step by step back through the city gate.
