Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 555: Expedition Lineup

Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Expedition Lineup

Dismissing the hospital incident, Lin Tianhui was thrilled when she learned she could take a two-day vacation and immediately shared the good news with her family after getting off work.

Su Jin and the others were about to depart, and she was hoping to find more time to spend with her daughter. Because Han Yue, the Mental Element Ability User, would be with them, it was very likely that Su Jin’s group would have difficulty using the Space on their journey.

"Mom, those people didn’t trouble you, did they?"

When Su Jin heard this, she was still worried. The high-skilled people from City B always came to handle things, and what if one of them, in a fit of rage, hurt Lin Tianhui?

"How could they hurt me? I even gave them a taste of their own medicine."

Then Lin Tianhui animatedly recounted her "heroic deeds" to everyone, and even Liao Yifan gave Lin Tianhui two thumbs up in admiration.

"Aunt Lin, if that guy dares to touch you, I’m going to make sure he ends up partially paralyzed."

Liao Yifan said indignantly. She was very fond of Lin Tianhui and had long since treated Aunt Lin as one of her own family.

"Don’t worry, you’re underestimating my popularity. The people in the hospital won’t stand by and let something happen to me."

Lin Tianhui said proudly, recalling her large group of supporters behind her.

"Now that people from City B have come to fetch them, does that mean you guys don’t have to take up that mission?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked.

"That’s unlikely. They’ve suffered losses, so Liang Jiuhui won’t just let them go back like that. It only means we might have more company on the road,"

Lu Hao analyzed. This could complicate the journey. First, there were the two forces of the Han Family and Wei Family, plus their Heart Talk Team...

"Don’t worry, our job is just to escort them, don’t think too much about it. At worst, it just means the journey will take a bit longer,"

Su Jin didn’t think it was a big deal, and since they had never been to City B, there would be someone to guide them if Wei Junhao or Han Yue were to be picked up.

In the end, those who would travel together were decided on collectively in the Space. Lu Guanhai insisted on going with them; however, Nie Qing chose not to insist on joining after learning they wouldn’t be able to enter the Space at will during the trip.

"I’d better go out when the kid Lin and I are trading supplies,"

Nie Qing said. His old bones couldn’t handle such a long and bumpy journey.

"That’s fine. If the group needs the master’s Formation later on, it’ll be more convenient if the master goes with Xiuyuan’s group,"

Lu Hao agreed.

Lin Xiuyuan’s strength was only second to Su Jin and Lu Hao, so everyone agreed to keep Lin Xiuyuan at the Base. Even if they used going out on a mission as an excuse, having Lin Xiuyuan in charge would reassure Guo Yang and the others.

Originally, Lin Xiuyuan disagreed, but when he saw that his family considered him a helpful person and wanted him to stay, a sense of responsibility surged within him: "Don’t worry, I’ll look after everyone."

The whole family laughed, and Qiqi, upon learning that her cousin and brother-in-law would take her with them, asked, "Can Xiao Yue come too? Otherwise, leaving him alone at the base is too pitiful."

"If Qiqi wants to take him, then let him go. It’ll give us more peace of mind if he is with us,"

Lin Tianzhen suggested. Everyone had seen how protective Lian Jiyue was of his daughter, and since Lian Jiyue’s special ability was strong, having him with Su Jin’s group would be a big help.

The family could always hide in the Space if they encountered any danger, and if Lian Jiyue followed along with Qiqi, they would have nothing to worry about at all.

Su Jin and Lu Hao had no objections, so the lineup for the trip to City B was temporarily set.

If it were before the Apocalypse, the trip from City S to City B would not have been difficult, taking just a few hours on the rail transit. However, after looking at the map, Su Xiangzhe felt that it would take them at least about 10 days to make the journey.

"The ice and snow will melt very soon,"

Su Jin said.

Melt away the ice and snow?

Lu Guanhai, who had been somewhat worried about the cold on the road, was no longer concerned after hearing this. "Really? Does that mean spring is coming?"

Su Jin gave a wry smile. "That’s probably the most unique spring,"

She remembered that in her previous life, although it had been cold for a week after the blizzard, the temperature had risen sharply after a week. Logically, the temperature had soared by twenty degrees from below zero, which was exactly the temperature humans found comfortable. But the problem was that after more than a month of blizzards, the rapid melting resulted in floods in some areas.

Especially in some low-lying basin regions, floods mixed with zombies, mutant animals, and mutated plants had breached city after city. Many mountain roads were washed out and destroyed by landslides, rendering the pre-Apocalypse maps that were still somewhat useful completely useless.

The whole family fell silent. Why did disasters keep happening one after another?

"So, the impact this blizzard has on humanity is actually quite significant, it’s just that everyone in the base hasn’t noticed it yet,"

Lu Hao summarized.

"Right, but maybe in a few days, people in the base will start to notice it. There are also many low-lying areas in City S,"

Su Jin recalled that the City S base just happened to be built on a high slope that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was less likely to be affected by floods. This was also why she had always been reassured about settling her family in City S.

...

After some discussion, Lu Hao did not forget to inform Liang Jiuhui about the lineup for their outing. Although Liang Jiuhui was surprised that only five members of the Heart Talk Team were going out together, he wasn’t worried.

As long as Su Jin and Lu Hao were there, there was basically no need to worry about anything. Plus, with Qiqi, a Mental Element Ability User, they could prevent Han Yue from doing anything. Additionally, with Lian Jiyue, who was exceptional both in special abilities and combat skills, the lineup was fine.

However, this was only what Liang Jiuhui and his group considered fine. The people from City B who had been resting and healing in the Base Hospital for several days didn’t see it that way.

"This City S is really too much. They’re only sending five people for the escort?! I think they have ulterior motives!"

Xu Mingliang said loudly to the group. When they had arrived, there had been about twenty highly skilled individuals, and now they were about to return. Not only did the City S base not send more people, but they only dispatched five people to accompany them. Were they deliberately looking down on them?

"Mingliang, keep your voice down. You also heard just now, those five people are the SS rank Heart Talk Team. I’m also curious about how capable this Heart Talk Team really is,"

said Fan Decai from his hospital bed, still not fully recovered. One of his wounds was too deep, so he had to rely on healers to come every day and slowly help him recover.

And because they were about to set off, they simply decided to stay in the Base Hospital, where it was warm and food was provided.

"Hmph! I think the pretty-boy Base Leader here doesn’t know how dangerous the outside is and is too trusting of their special ability users,"

Xu Mingliang did not take the SS rank seriously, in his view, it must have been because Qian Hong and his people had competed in too many matches, so they were exhausted.
