Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 233: Fang JingfuThe new route was rough, and the convoy moved at a slow pace.
Lin Xiuyuan rolled down his window a crack, using his Ice Element abilities to kill the zombies outside. He felt that using Special Abilities from a moving vehicle was a great way to practice accuracy.
Nie Qing and Lu Guanhai, upon seeing this, started to do the same.
Survivors inside a nearby bus, watching another vehicle incessantly launching fire, Wind Balls, and Ice Spikes, couldn’t help but sigh.
These people did not even spare the roadside zombies. Remembering their aggressive behavior from before, they realized these people didn’t mean to hog the kills, they simply couldn’t resist killing zombies whenever they saw them.
“You all need to train physically when we get back, don’t fall behind too much,”
a captain in the guard squad said to his team from inside a truck. He had thought they were among the best until he saw what the others were capable of and realized just how weak they were.
Even the little girl was better than them.
“Yes!”
No one complained since everyone felt quite incompetent themselves.“Conserve your Special Abilities, the zombies are getting denser up ahead,”
Su Jin’s voice came through the walkie-talkie. The road hadn’t been traveled in a long time, not only were there more zombies, but some kept leaping from the adjacent buildings, causing Su Xiangzhe to break into a sweat.
After hearing this, Lin Xiuyan and the others closed their windows and stopped casting Special Abilities outside.
The convoy hadn’t moved much farther when a mutated zombie blocked their path.
Its body was gray and white, and Su Jin and the others couldn’t tell what type of mutated zombie it was until it suddenly launched a long stretch of Ice Edges towards the vehicle Su Jin was in!
“It’s Ice Element!”
Lin Xiuyuan said excitedly, and he could tell it was likely a Level Two Ice Element Zombie.
Because the Ice Element Zombie was blocking the road and it was followed by some ordinary zombies, the convoy had to stop. As soon as they stopped, the surrounding zombies closed in from all around.
The Ice Edges released by the Ice Element Zombie had been firmly caught by the vines Su Jin had deployed, and Lu Hao had already rushed forward to confront it.
“Qiqi, you and Uncle Liang stay inside the car, don’t go out,” Su Jin said softly to Mao Qiqi.
Mao Qiqi nodded, understanding the reason. She had a task today, and she was going to do exactly as Sister Xiao Jin directed.
Liang Wei couldn’t help but laugh and cry a bit—he was being protected by a girl who looked no older than ten? But seeing her calm demeanor and recalling how she had previously fought the zombies,
Alright, he definitely was the one in need of protection.
Zombies surrounded each vehicle; Lin Xiuyuan wanted to go after the Ice Element Zombie, but the distance was too great, and they were encircled by layers of zombies. Since Lu Hao was already in fierce combat with the Ice Element Zombie, Lin Xiuyuan gave up the idea and turned to clearing the zombies around them instead.
Li Haochu led the guard squad members into the fight, seeing the fervor with which the outsiders killed, the guard squad members were seemingly infected by the enthusiasm, picking up their own weapons, utilizing their Special Abilities, and engaging the zombies outside.
Among the survivors, some also spontaneously formed teams and joined the fray.
Among them were both men and women.
Ever since this morning in the refuge, when they saw Su Jin’s team, which included men, women, and even children, start killing zombies, the women had grown increasingly confident. They too wanted to prove that they could kill zombies, that they too could survive the Apocalypse.
“Xiao Wei, where are you going?”
A girl asked another who was about to get out of the vehicle.
“I… I also want to kill zombies,” the girl bit her lip, her impatience visible from within the vehicle.
“Are you crazy?! There are so many zombies outside!”
“Ah Fu, I’m a Metal Element Ability user, and I can kill zombies. I’ll just stand on the side and control my ability,”
The more Deng Shuwei talked, the more she felt she should go down and kill zombies. She broke free from Fang Jingfu’s grip and resolutely walked down.
Fang Jingfu watched irritably as Deng Shuwei outside tried to control her Metal Element Ability to attack the zombies. Just because she has an ability, does that make her great? Fang Jingfu wanted to see how far the never-before zombie-killer Deng Shuwei could go.
Outside the vehicle, Deng Shuwei tried to calm herself down—other girls could do it, and so could she.
However, due to her lack of experience, the iron spikes she condensed only smashed the target zombie before falling down.
Fang Jingfu laughed from her seat. Was she trying to be funny?
Despite the setback, Deng Shuwei did not get discouraged, but continued to condense iron spikes to attack the nearest zombie.
Thud!
The iron spike pierced a zombie’s eye socket.
Did she succeed?
Deng Shuwei excitedly watched the zombie she had struck. So this was what killing zombies felt like!
But she clearly rejoiced too soon; the zombie wasn’t fatally hit in the brain and instead lunged toward her.
Fang Jingfu gripped the seat handle tightly, having long told her not to go down. She couldn’t believe how quickly she was about to die.
Deng Shuwei watched the zombie run towards her with claws and teeth bared. She wanted to dodge immediately, but her feet felt as if they were filled with lead, unable to move a step.
It’s over, she thought.
Bang!
Deng Shuwei’s eyes widened as the zombie, struck by something, was pushed back against a roadside wall before a man with Wind Element abilities decapitated it with a Wind Blade.
“Thank you! Thank you!” Deng Shuwei was almost in tears. She hadn’t died after all.
As Xue Wanyi killed another zombie with his Wind Blade, he said to the short girl, “You still need a lot more practice.”
Deng Shuwei froze, then nodded vigorously. She bowed in the direction of Xue Wanyi.
She also wanted to kill zombies, to become stronger, at least strong enough to protect herself.
Fang Jingfu breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that the impressive Wind Element man had taken a liking to Deng Shuwei. Fortunately, he quickly moved away.
Looking at the short stature and doll-faced Deng Shuwei, Fang Jingfu felt reassured again. She hadn’t found a long-term meal ticket yet, how could Deng Shuwei be up for consideration?
The zombies surrounding the vehicle were quickly handled by everyone, but there were still some who were bitten or scratched by zombies, quietly waiting for death. Su Jin felt somewhat choked up.
She hadn’t let survivors come down to help kill zombies during her previous missions precisely to prevent this kind of situation.
“Captain! Xiao Hai, his wound hasn’t turned black. Could he still be saved?” a team member asked loudly, almost crying.
The wound hasn’t turned black?
Su Jin also heard the team member. The most effective way to determine if a bitten person would turn into a zombie was to check if the wound had turned black or decayed. It was rare for anyone bitten or scratched to escape unscathed, but the possibility couldn’t be entirely ruled out.
Su Jin walked over and looked at the young team member called Xiao Hai, who, despite his bright red face, leaned weakly against the wall. However, the bite on his wrist was just red, really not blackened!
However, this only meant that his body was fighting the Zombie Virus and didn’t rule out the potential for zombification, Su Jin explained to those around her.
“There’s hope. Xiao Hai, did you hear that? Hang on, Chen Hai!” the team member shouted excitedly by Chen Hai’s name.
“Give him some water to drink; he must be feverish now,” Su Jin said as she took out a water bottle from her backpack on the vehicle and handed it to the team member.
