Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 568: Living Apart

Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Living Apart

"Little Wu and Little Liu might be too tame because of our upbringing?"

Su Jin couldn’t help but say.

"Not at all tame, not at all. They just jumped into the creek to help me catch fish,"

Lin Yunguo was very fond of Little Wu and Little Liu, after all, he and Li Xiuying had raised them from the start.

"Oh, stop talking about them. Where are Xiao Hao and Lu Guanhai? Why haven’t they come in?"

Learning that Su Jin and the others had now arrived at a base and were living separately from their mission targets, Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo finally felt relieved. It seemed Xiao Jin and company wouldn’t need to stay out there for a while before leaving.

"They’re outside helping Lian Jiyue make beds and clean up. They should be coming in soon,"

Su Jin comfortably leaned back in the lounge chair and responded. It was so much more comfortable inside the Space, especially with her grandparents here. It felt like coming home.

Li Xiuying told Su Jin that the family had gone out to kill zombies with Lin Xiuyuan today and would probably be coming in soon.

Mao Qiqi was at one side, being quizzed by Lin Yunguo about the fun things they encountered on their journey. Right at that moment, Lu Guanhai and Lu Hao came in. The story-loving Lu Guanhai immediately began to recount all the events of the past few days to the elders from beginning to end.

Mao Qiqi was happy to relax and joined Su Jin in the kitchen, where they found Huang Yunxiang’s freshly made egg tarts and cakes and started nibbling on them.

After a while, the family in the base indeed trickled in one by one, surprised to see Su Jin and the others in the Space, wondering if they were seeing things.

"How did you guys get in here?"

Exhausted as he was, Lin Xiuyuan perked up immediately upon seeing Su Jin and the others.

"We reached the F City base today and separated from those people, so we came in,"

Su Jin roughly explained the situation to the family.

Lin Tianzhen also took a look around with Mao Qiqi. Besides the clothes being a bit dirty, she was neither injured nor emaciated.

"Mom, it’s not that I didn’t change my clothes, it’s just that the base and its surroundings are too dirty,"

Mao Qiqi said, pointing to her muddy shoes.

Even inside the F City base, there was mud and water everywhere from the melted snow, and their armored car parked outside had long become a mess.

"So, Su Jin, can you take us out to sell supplies now?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked excitedly, eager to experience the feeling of being directly transported to where Su Jin and the others were.

"Han Yue and his group will probably stay here for about three days. We’ll go out tomorrow to check the situation before deciding,"

Lu Hao responded. When they entered today, they found that the people in this base didn’t seem like the ones in A City or D City; maybe food wasn’t in short supply here.

"I hope we can sell. I’ve got several baskets of thick pancakes piled up,"

Lin Yunguo’s comment on the side brought laughter from everyone. During this time, Lin Yunguo, having nothing else to do in the Space, kept himself busy with either making pancakes or fishing. If it were not for Li Xiuying scolding him, he would probably have made even more.

Su Jin and others washed and changed clothes in the Space. In the middle of it, they left the Space to join Lian Jiyue for a sumptuous dinner.

Lian Jiyue was still the same as before, only communicating with Qiqi, but he would listen to the rest of the family, so Su Jin and the others got used to his silence.

Watching Su Jin bring out plate after plate of steaming hot food, Lian Jiyue’s eyes flickered. He knew Su Jin had a magical Space for preserving food, and even Guo Yang and the others kept this secret tightly guarded. Although he wasn’t particularly interested in that Space, when he tasted the delicious food, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

It was much tastier than anything he’d eaten before the apocalypse.

"Xiao Yue has even started eating vegetables recently. He’s becoming more sensible by the day,"

Mao Qiqi praised.

"..."

Lian Jiyue didn’t know how to respond and simply flashed his signature silly grin, prompting Mao Qiqi to serve him some more greens.

Liu Jianyuan had prepared a very spacious house for everyone; it’s just that the house hadn’t been lived in for who knows how long, and dust had accumulated everywhere. Fortunately, the men had already cleaned it all up, so it was barely habitable.

Even until the time to rest in the "Space," Su Jin was still discussing with Lu Hao, "Is the population of the F city base really that large?"

Although Qiqi’s Special Ability could cover the whole F city base, according to Qiqi, she couldn’t tell how many people there were. Many of the small dots representing people in the buildings overlapped each other on the upper and lower floors, making it impossible for her to count.

"More than that, Xiao Jin, haven’t you forgotten something?"

In their bedroom, Lu Hao asked Su Jin, whom he was hugging from behind and had not properly hugged for several days.

"What thing?"

Su Jin tilted her head, not understanding what Lu Hao was referring to.

"Your period."

Lu Hao’s large hand gently rubbed Su Jin’s stomach. He always remembered when Su Jin’s periods were, and they were always very regular every month, usually not varying by more than three days.

But now...

Feeling the person in his arms freeze, Lu Hao began to wonder if he had scared Su Jin.

"It’s normal to be delayed by a week, it shouldn’t be..."

Su Jin hadn’t considered that possibility at all. She had lived through the Apocalypse and knew how low the chances of pregnancy were during such times. Plus, she was always busy killing zombies; she must be tired from traveling lately.

Su Jin comforted herself.

Seeing that Lu Hao was still looking at her, Su Jin felt even more guilty.

"Mhm, whatever Xiao Jin says is right; you rest first."

Lu Hao just smiled. After he put Su Jin on the bed and covered her with a light blanket, he walked out of the room.

Su Jin’s mind was in chaos. It wasn’t that she didn’t look forward to having children with Lu Hao; it was that she had never considered this possibility in both of her lives. If she really was pregnant, that would be unimaginable!

After Lu Hao went to the pharmacy behind the Lu Residence, he was relieved to find the place had everything one could need, and he quickly found the item he was looking for. Just as he came out, he happened to run into Su Jin, who had just left the bedroom.

"Looking for this?"

Lu Hao took out a package and shook it in front of Su Jin.

"..."

Su Jin really hadn’t expected Lu Hao to come out to look for a pregnancy test for her; it was the only method she could think of to verify her condition now.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Hao, what are you doing here?"

Lu Guanhai, with an ice pop in his mouth, came out from the supermarket area and wondered why the couple was standing outside the pharmacy. Could it be that someone was sick?

"It’s nothing, Dad. We just came to look for something,"

Su Jin, her face red, snatched the item from Lu Hao’s hand and quickly walked toward the side courtyard.

"Oh..."

Before Lu Guanhai could continue asking, his daughter-in-law ran off, leaving him and Lu Hao standing there, staring at each other.

"Do you... want one?"

Lu Guanhai took out another ice pop from his pocket.
