Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 756 Kou Ning

Chapter 756: Chapter 756 Kou Ning

"I’m very sorry, everyone, our associate here is a bit hot-tempered," Lu Hao said with a gentle and refined smile, "once the healer arrives, I will compensate everyone for your troubles."

Han Yue put on an affable, elegant smile as he spoke.

Hot-tempered?

Huang Yunxiang silently scoffed to herself, Is he crazy?

Could this person also be one of the Han Family’s modified humans? Otherwise, why would he act like this? However, Qiqi didn’t seem to mention this in the morning. If he were a modified human, Qiqi should have been able to detect it.

The healer quickly followed Lin Xiuyuan and ran over, accompanied by Wan Anran from the True Martial Sect. As he entered and saw the people present and the bloodied scene, his face immediately darkened.

"Young Master Han, no worse for wear, I see," Wan Anran said coldly. When did Han Yue arrive at the F City base? They hadn’t noticed him at all.

"Brother Wan, I’m really sorry," Han Yue replied, without answering Wan Anran’s question and changing the subject. "We caused trouble as soon as we arrived, but I’ve already apologized to these folks here, and I will compensate for any losses."

Fortunately, Zhang Xin was not in life-threatening danger, for he was one of the very few whose heart was located in the right side of the chest. Anyone else would not have been so lucky.

"The injured has lost a lot of blood," said a female healer, standing up. "We’ve closed his wounds, but he needs to be taken to the hospital for further treatment."

"You’re going too far! It’s clear you were aiming for Zhang Xin’s life!" an angry man from the injured party’s team shouted at Han Yue while keeping an eye on Kou Ning.

Kou Ning was still eating that duck leg, a very large one, but Lin Yunguo also noticed that he was crunching the bones and eating them...

"Here’s 10,000 Crystal Cores for compensation and medical expenses," Han Yue said as he had Du Qisheng bring out the Crystal Cores.

The remaining six people didn’t expect the man before them to actually offer 10,000 Crystal Cores; their own team only had thirty to forty thousand in total. With 10,000 Crystal Cores, they could trade for quite a significant amount of supplies at the Dragon Ruler...

"Brother Zhao, maybe we should just let it go," a woman from the team suggested. "Zhang Xin is lucky to be alive. We should prioritize exchanging supplies."

Aside from the young man whose Metal Element Ability was oddly disturbing, this man who was willing to give 10,000 Crystal Cores also seemed to have connections with the management of the base. His identity seemed no simple matter, and if they antagonized him, they could end up with more trouble than they wanted.

"Smart decision," the man snorted as he snatched the Crystal Cores from Han Yue’s hand and began to exchange them for supplies, still cursing under his breath.

"All this meat is mine," Kou Ning stated, after having devoured the entire duck leg, bones included, and then pointed to the basin of meat on the table.

"Kou Ning, can you wait just a moment?" Han Yue felt a headache coming on; now was not the time to buy meat, especially with Wan Anran still present.

"No I can’t; if you don’t buy it for me, I will continue killing," Kou Ning retorted, as he produced a long spike in his palm.

"Young man! If you keep being unreasonable, I won’t sell any meat to you!" Lin Yunguo shouted.

The shout startled the family; Lin Xiuyuan, who had been weighing rice, quickly and Lin Cheng hastened to stand in front of Lin Yunguo, fearful that the unhinged man brought by Han Yue might do something to him.

Unexpectedly, Kou Ning retracted the spike.

"You made it? Then there’s no helping it. I won’t make a fuss. Could you sell me some more meat?" Kou Ning asked with a cocked head and a smile.

"If you don’t make a fuss, of course it’s ok, but why did you have to just now? I still have plenty of meat left; you can’t eat a whole basin of it, and in this weather, it won’t last long either, sigh."

Seeing that the other party was so cooperative, Lin Yunguo then pulled out another basin of meat covered with a dust-proof film from under the table. The sight of the full basin of meat instantly brightened Kou Ning’s eyes.

Feeling helpless, Han Yue first bought half a basin of meat in front of Lin Yunguo using some crystal cores, and then let Kou Ning go off to the side to eat. He knew all too well about Kou Ning’s craziness for meat. Right now, if he was told to hold it and eat it in a zombie nest, he wouldn’t utter a word of complaint.

The group from Zhang Xin’s team, upon seeing that there really was extra meat for sale, couldn’t help but feel that what had just happened with Zhang Xin was unwarranted.

"Old man, we’ll also take five pounds of meat; we need to build up one of our companions today."

The woman from earlier came over and said.

The companion in need of bulking up was naturally Zhang Xin; meat is the most nutritious and helps with blood replenishment, especially since Zhang Xin had just gotten hurt and in the process earned them ten thousand crystal cores.

Whoosh!

A row of metal spikes landed on the ground in front of the woman.

Kou Ning, who was squatting to the side with a bone in his hand, clamored, "Don’t buy it, the rest is mine too, and if you buy it, I’ll kill you."

The tone carried no intimidation, but the casually spoken words froze the woman in place.

Why did she feel so terrified? It wasn’t the same fear she felt when facing zombies, but an indescribable sensation.

"I, I won’t buy it then."

The woman backed away a few steps, then decisively exchanged all her remaining crystal cores for food, and dragged her teammates out the door.

Wan Anran, who was talking to Han Yue, saw this and said a few words to an attendant beside him, and then the attendant nodded and walked out.

"I’ve asked the market to pause for a few minutes; nobody minds, do they?"

Wan Anran said to the family.

"No objections here, we could use a little break ourselves,"

Nie Qing knew that Wan Anran was worried that these people might cause more trouble, and they were also cautious of that person called Kou Ning.

He seems to have the Metal Element Ability?

Nie Qing speculated in his mind upon seeing the sharp metal spikes on the ground.

"Young man, have you been hungry for a long time?"

Lin Yunguo, seeing the family gather around as if to protect him, didn’t think the young man had any ill intentions towards him; he just seemed overly protective of his food.

"Mmm, I haven’t eaten meat in two days, and your meat is really tasty,"

Kou Ning couldn’t stop praising as he stuffed a piece of braised beef into both cheeks, chewing rapidly. Huang Yunxiang thought he didn’t seem to mind the choking hazard; that was tough meat without much moisture!

"Only two days? You seem to really love meat! But buying too much is useless if you don’t have a fridge, it won’t stay fresh for long,"

Lin Yunguo said.

Lin Xiuyuan wanted to cover his grandfather’s mouth to keep him from talking to the lunatic, but with the other three still watching, he didn’t dare to say anything.

"No problem, I’ll just take you back with me, and then you can cook meat for me every day,"

Kou Ning said carelessly.

A comment that made even Lu Hao frown amused Lin Yunguo, who joked, "Oh no, that won’t do. We’ve gathered all this mutant animal meat from our travels around. The meat you have there isn’t the same. You might as well come with us!"

"That makes sense; I’ll just come with you guys then,"

Kou Ning’s eyes did a full rotation before he nodded and spoke.

"Cough, cough, Kou Ning, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Han Yue, who was in the middle of talking to Wan Anran, almost choked on his saliva. A few pieces of meat could lure him away? If his father found out, he was likely to be furious!
