Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 758: Level Seven Gold Element

Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Level Seven Gold Element

"..."

Lu Hao smiled at Han Yue, then walked to the door, opened it, and said to those outside, "Everyone, there’s no need to worry, our guest should be all right now, please wait just a moment longer."

"It’s good that everything’s fine, it’s good that you’re all fine, we were just a bit worried."

The man leading the group said with a smile.

"So, how many Crystal Cores worth of materials do you want to buy?"

Lu Hao closed the door and came back to ask.

"80,000 Crystal Cores."

Han Yue answered reluctantly, then with a hint of hopefulness asked, "Are you really not considering doing business with our Han Family in B City on a long-term basis? We’re willing to pay a higher price than what you’re currently asking."

"Then forget about it, I’ve said it before, our team is here to ensure everyone can survive the Apocalypse, what’s good for you is good for us — isn’t that good enough?"

Lin Xiuyuan resolutely refused, now feeling extremely relieved to see those who once threatened his Heart Talk Team defeated.

In the end, Han Yue had no choice but to grit his teeth and buy 80,000 Crystal Cores worth of rice and flour, while his gaze towards Dragon Ruler had already turned unfriendly.

Lu Hao was all too familiar with that kind of look; Han Yue was the type to turn hostile at a moment’s notice. When pretense proved ineffective, he would slowly start treating the other as an enemy.

But that was alright, whether as part of the Heart Talk Team or Dragon Ruler, he had no intention of associating with such people.

"Kou Ning, let’s go,"

Han Yue yelled to the young man squatting nearby after Du Qisheng had gathered the purchased items.

"My meat? You’re not buying it?"

In front of Kou Ning was a large basin with only a few bony scraps of meat left, and despite having eaten half a basin, he still seemed unsatisfied, making Lin Cheng, who was guarding Lin Yunguo, wonder what kind of stomach he had.

No normal person could digest that much meat, right? No, how could a normal person consume so much meat at once? Even Jiyue who had lost his memory before couldn’t eat a fifth of what he did.

Watching Kou Ning refusing to leave, a surge of anger flashed across Han Yue’s face, yet Kou Ning continued as if he saw nothing, "I want the one over there and all those in the old man’s house."

"Young man, all the meat left adds up to over 200 pounds, do you really want to buy it all at once?"

What Lin Yunguo actually meant was, how could he possibly eat all 200 pounds of meat, which would spoil in a couple of days.

"It’s just over 10,000 Crystal Cores. Relax, I’ve killed at least a million zombies for them. Am I supposed to beg him to pay me?"

Kou Ning’s words left the family speechless; he had killed over a million zombies by himself?

Even Du Qisheng could tell Han Yue was truly angry now; the rumors that the Han family despised anyone challenging their authority seemed true.

"200 pounds of meat, I’ll take it,"

Han Yue still expressionless, had Du Qisheng pay the Crystal Cores.

Once Lu Hao brought out the three basins of meat from inside, Kou Ning snorted coldly, staring intently as Du Qisheng stashed all the basins into a space.

That meat was his, and no one else was to touch it.

"Hey, young man, don’t go. You seem to have good teeth and have killed so many zombies. I have some mutated wild boar meat here; it’s a bit tough, but consider it a gift,"

Kou Ning instantly calmed down after hearing Lin Yunguo’s words, and without hesitation, grabbed the huge pig leg that Lin Yunguo offered and stuffed it into his mouth:

"This is good meat, I like it."

"Let’s go,"

Han Yue urged again.

Kou Ning... It was time to discipline him properly.

What they wanted was an absolutely obedient soldier, not a wild beast that refused to be tamed at every turn.

"That person doesn’t seem like a modified human; why is he so strange?"

Nie Qing could not help but speak out after those four had left.

"Not a modified human, but his Special Ability is at least at Level Six, and very possibly Level Seven,"

Lu Hao recalled Kou Ning’s unexpected speed and attack methods, increasingly feeling that he was a difficult person to deal with.

"My grandfather seems to get along quite well with that man, right, Grandpa?"

Lin Xiuyuan joked.

"You can’t say that. When someone is ravenous for the things you make, a lot of things become unimportant. Besides, I could tell he really likes meat. I’ve never seen anyone who loves meat so much,"

Lin Yunguo said as he walked toward the house inside, deciding not to sell meat today and to focus on selling pickled eggs and pancakes instead.

The next batch of buyers finally came in, seeing that everything in the small western-style house’s courtyard was as usual. They joyfully ran up and excitedly began to look at the list of supplies...

That evening, the details of Han Yue’s group of four were finally clarified by Bu Hong. They had just entered the base this morning, getting such an early number through some machinations by Deputy Director Chen Liang at the base, allowing them to successfully jump the queue.

"Chen Liang was originally a subordinate of Liu Jianyuan and has always been close to the Han family. I didn’t expect him to be so bold this time,"

Bu Hong said inside the small western-style house.

"Is Han Yue still residing at the base?"

Lu Hao asked the question that most concerned the family. Han Yue was a Mental Element Ability User. If he lived near the small western-style house, they wouldn’t be able to freely enter and exit Space.

"Yes, but they live near Chen Liang’s place, quite far from True Martial Sect’s territory, and it’s still uncertain when they will leave,"

Wan Anran answered.

What could now be certain was that Han Yue had indeed come with just four people. The reason they hadn’t been detected at the city gate was likely because they might have used fake names, and also because too many people had recently entered the F-city base. They had not been noticed for a while.

"Xiao Tian, Da Ming, you guys rest assured and continue selling here. They wouldn’t dare do anything drastic now,"

Bu Hong reassured, thinking that Long Aotian and his group were afraid of the Han family.

"Got it, got it. They’re just four people. What is there to be afraid of? Besides, now that Big Brother Bu is doing so well as the Base Leader, isn’t protecting a few of us a piece of cake?"

Lin Xiuyuan laughed heartily, thinking how nice it was to have such a big tree to lean on. They should have more such big trees.

"That Kou Ning, do you guys know his origins?"

Lu Hao continued to inquire.

Bu Hong shook his head. They didn’t know much about the Han family to begin with, and Kou Ning was showing up for the first time. Even Chen Liang might not know him.

"He is very dangerous. If you encounter him in the future, be very careful. If I’m not mistaken, he likely has a Level Seven Metal Element Ability,"

The words of Lu Hao made the two gasp in shock. A Level Seven Special Ability?!

It seemed that only the most formidable SS-level Heart Talk Team could possibly contend with him.
