Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 753: Secret Weapon?

Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Secret Weapon?

"Some zombies have a bit of intelligence, but it’s just an instinctive survival reaction,"

Su Jin recalled her past life, where she only survived two months longer, and had never heard of any intelligent zombies.

"Well, that’s good. If zombies were to evolve intelligence, then humans would be in trouble,"

Lu Hao said, looking down at the corpse on the ground.

Two hours later, Mao Qiqi finally felt tired. After the three of them finished extracting Crystal Cores, Lu Hao burned all the zombie bodies in the alley, and then they returned to the Space through the Teleportation Array.

Su Jin was surprised to hear what Lu Hao mentioned about the still long lines of people queuing to buy supplies. Had that many people come from the surrounding bases?

"Yes, and the news might spread further, attracting people from all the major bases,"

Lu Hao speculated, as some teams who had finished buying supplies were already planning to return to their bases, which would inevitably lead others to hear and come as well.

"The benefits outweigh the risks, and we can evacuate at any time,"

Su Jin knew what Lu Hao was worried about. The Han Family had tried to find them once before without success, and there was no guarantee they wouldn’t try again.

"Yes, Bu Hong is also helping us keep an eye out at the base’s gate,"

"If they don’t come, that’s fine, but if they do, then things will get interesting,"

Su Jin said with a smile.

...

In the Apocalypse where strength and level were revered, the Han Family had indeed hit a bottleneck recently; their supply of resources had begun to dwindle to a critical point. If they were to maintain the food supply for the tens of thousands under the Han faction, their existing resources could only last another two months.

After two months, not to mention expanding their needs, they would even start to worry internally.

Thus, resources had become a major problem for the Han Family.

"That jerk Wei Yinghao, I’ve spoken to him nicely several times, but he refuses to sell us supplies, keeping them so tight in his base, truly a stingy miser,"

Han Zhimin was again infuriated, as all the teams under the Han Family had been dispatched to gather supplies.

Dragon Ruler and Heart Talk Team were able to find supplies, he couldn’t believe they couldn’t!

"The Wei Family... seems not to have stored the supplies with the Space Element Ability User, but now, we just don’t know where they’ve put them. If we knew, would we still be afraid of them?"

Han Jin disdainfully said. The Wei Family from top to bottom had nobody capable except for the Thunder Element Luo Hongyi who was presentable. They hadn’t heard of any strong players from there. Even Wei Junhao’s Special Ability was terribly weak.

If they could just find out where their supplies were stored, they could simply go and seize them, why bother with appeasements?

"Don’t say it’s that easy. The Wei Family has managed to attract many strong teams with their supplies. Though they haven’t officially joined the Wei Family, they still represent a connected force,"

Han Zhimin said.

"Father is right. Unless absolutely necessary, we should not take this step,"

Han Yue agreed as well.

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door, and after Han Zhimin signaled, a young man with a buzz cut entered.

"Family Head, Young Master, Second Young Master, Kou Ning is making a fuss about wanting meat again..."

The young man reported cautiously.

"Didn’t we just send him some yesterday?"

Han Zhimin frowned, this Kou Ning was good in every aspect except that he ate too much and always needed to have meat in every meal. His daily consumption alone was tantamount to that of ten people.

"But, master, Kou Ning said if I don’t bring him tasty meat soon, he will tear me apart... eat me,"

the young man with crew cut said, both aggrieved and frightened.

Kou Ning, that lunatic, was extremely tricky to deal with and killed without even blinking. When he said that he would eat humans if there wasn’t enough meat, his expression didn’t seem feigned to scare him. Those eyes clearly brimmed with an excited smile.

"Xiao Duo, tell him I’ll take him tomorrow to have some tasty meat. Ask him to endure for a little while,"

Han Yue comforted the young man with crew cut. According to the people who returned from purchasing supplies at F City Base, it seemed that Dragon Ruler sold all kinds of things. He would regret not meeting them.

Xiao Duo nodded and left, still fearful, not knowing if Kou Ning would really tear him apart when he saw that Xiao Duo hadn’t brought back any meat. Thinking about Kou Ning’s way of eating meat, he couldn’t help but shudder.

"Why don’t I take Kou Ning? I drew a blank last time,"

Han Jin said.

"Can you control Kou Ning?"

Han Yue questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"As long as there is enough food, what can’t be controlled?"

Han Jin said somewhat sheepishly.

Kou Ning was their Han Family’s secret weapon, a Level Seven Metal Element Ability User who advanced entirely without relying on a Crystal Core. However, he was extremely brutal by nature. Xiao Duo was already the fifth servant attending to him—the previous four... had all been stabbed into a wasp’s nest by him for slight mistakes.

However, only such a person could survive a month in a zombie nest, Han Jin thought.

Indeed, Kou Ning had been thrown by Han Zhimin into a city filled with zombies, where he survived an entire month solely on mutant animal meat, advancing to Level Three after a month and almost completely exterminating the millions of zombies in the entire city.

Han Yue said, zombies couldn’t kill Kou Ning, and Kou Ning was invincible.

Yet, the Han Family never assigned any tasks to Kou Ning; they just kept training him, training him, and no matter whether he killed people or set fires, the Han Family always covered for him unconditionally.

Because Han Zhimin felt that one day they would dominate the Special Ability Users of Huaxia with Kou Ning’s power, and Kou Ning was indeed destined for great purposes.

In the dimly lit room that hadn’t yet been illuminated, Xiao Duo shakily turned on the light.

A long spike suddenly stretched from the bed not far away, its sharp tip nearly reaching Xiao Duo’s throat, causing him to freeze completely, dare not even exhale loudly.

"Where’s my meat?"

A lazy voice called out, the owner of the voice looked somewhat pale, with strong muscles on his arms, but his narrow waist and long legs made his figure appear not so robust. His hair was somewhat long, some of it already covering his eyes, so when he looked at Xiao Duo, he did so with his sharp chin raised.

The spike emerged from Kou Ning’s fingertip, extending two meters, his body seeming to have fused with his Metal Element Ability, able to morph into any form.

"Young Master Han said he will take you to have tasty meat tomorrow, so please, please just endure a little longer,"

Xiao Duo stammered out the response.

The air was quiet for a moment, the spike slightly moved upwards brushing past Xiao Duo’s jawline, also leaving a bloody mark. Xiao Duo didn’t dare scream, knowing that the scream might only excite the other party more.

"How boring, get lost,"

The spike retracted, Kou Ning licked the fresh blood stained on the tip, then spit, muttering dissatisfiedly, "It’s not even sweet."

Xiao Duo ran out trembling, as if a monster were chasing him. Tomorrow, he wouldn’t have to see him again, would he?
