Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 141 - 141 Liang Jiuhui



Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Liang Jiuhui

Yin Chengtian’s wish was finally fulfilled when he received an approving nod from the great deity Su Jin. After two days and one night, he had successfully coaxed all five seeds into sprouting. Although the sprouts were only the color of young, yellow shoots without a hint of green, he was already very satisfied. At least, he had received a nod from Su Jin.

“Starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for the vegetables in the garden outside, and you must use your Special Ability to nourish them every day, until they bloom and bear fruit.”

Yin Chengtian’s Wood Element Ability was still weak, and even now, it took him a long time to stimulate plant growth, let alone use his Wood Element to fight. Therefore, Su Jin could only have him start with the simplest practices.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yin Chengtian nodded heavily and turned to walk towards the courtyard. He knew his Special Ability had awakened later than others’ and was quite weak, but with Su Jin as his goal, he didn’t feel discouraged at all.

Shi Jin bit into an apple and sighed. These past few days, Yin Chengtian had been practicing his Special Ability like he was possessed, and Shi Jin couldn’t even bother to complain. Lonely, his only company was playing with Local Tyrant Gold, who thankfully didn’t seem to mind his presence.

That evening, as soon as Su Jin and Lu Hao entered the Space, they heard Huang Yunxiang scolding her uncle, Lin Cheng. Curious, Su Jin asked Mao Qiqi, who was sitting aside, as it was the first time she saw her uncle being scolded.

“Um, it seems like uncle buried himself in the soil, and auntie said he made the whole Lu Residence dirty,” Mao Qiqi spoke as she munched on a peach.

Buried in the soil?

After hearing this, Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh, and even Lu Hao burst into laughter. It seemed that the uncle must have been inspired by their talk about the Earth Element Zombie who buried itself in the sand and had mimicked it, resulting in this comical situation.

Liang Wei and Liang Jiuqing didn’t return immediately after Su Jin and Lu Hao left, but instead, they took some people to the bus station that had exploded to collect Crystal Cores.

When they reached the bus station, they were able to clearly see the situation around them.

What was once a bus station was now gone, the surrounding wall had been blasted away without a trace, and the station itself had been leveled to the ground. Even nearby buildings had been affected to varying degrees.

How could those two have narrowly escaped death with such strength? What sort of power did they possess?

Moreover, when they registered at the Refuge, they didn’t list any Special Abilities. Generally, those with Special Abilities are proud to reveal them, eager to let others know that they are Special Ability Users.

But isn’t this the normal way to be?

Why do those people avoid talking about it?

She had later asked Miaomiao about it, but Zheng Miaomiao only smiled without speaking, only saying that they were all very strong, but as to how strong, she never knew—until she saw this place. She finally realized that Miaomiao’s definition of ‘very strong’ was indeed not an exaggeration.

After hearing what Liang Jiuqing said, Liang Wei fell silent for a while before saying, “They, must be stronger than what we’ve seen.”

The several followers behind him were shocked by this. Stronger than what they had seen? How strong could that be?

However, their speculations about Su Jin and Lu Hao were soon overshadowed by the surprise before their eyes.

So many Crystal Cores!

Although the scene was a gruesome sight and the stench was overwhelming, they couldn’t care less about those details. Their eyes were wide open as they searched thoroughly, not wanting to miss a single Crystal Core.

“Jiuqing, do you have any containers we can use for crystal cores?” Liang Wei had been bending over searching for crystal cores as well. He had already taken off his rubber gloves to use them for holding crystal cores, but they were quickly filled up.

“No, we left all our stuff halfway there,” Liang Jiuqing’s pockets were also full of crystal cores. The place had been leveled, and there was nothing left.

Although their car wasn’t parked too far away, because Liang Wei was so worried about his daughter, he had rushed over with only a few people, and there was nothing in the car suitable for holding crystal cores.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, carrying dust and several plastic bags fluttering erratically in the air.

A team member managed to grab a black plastic bag and ran over excitedly to Liang Wei, “Mayor Liang! I found this; can we use it?”

Liang Wei looked at the dirt-covered team member holding the black plastic bag, fell silent for a few seconds, and then said, “It’ll do.”

Liang Jiuqing: …

The other team members followed suit, finding more plastic bags and swiftly searching for any crystal cores they had missed.

Liang Jiuhui, who had completed the mission, was anxiously waiting in the refuge for his father and sister. Hearing that Jiuqing’s mission had failed and that Father Liang had gone to her aid, he had no idea how they were and was unsure why he had felt a premonition of bad luck earlier. Was it because he was overly nervous due to his mother’s situation?

Unable to wait any longer, Liang Jiuhui was ready to lead a team out to search when Father Liang and Liang Jiuqing returned!

Although the group was a filthy and stinky sight to behold, Liang Jiuhui’s worries were at last settled. He then felt a surge of anger, determined to never let his sister take such risks again!

Nothing scared Liang Jiuqing except for her elder brother’s anger. When she pleasingly pulled out a red plastic bag full of crystal cores from behind her and handed it to Liang Jiuhui, he was stunned.

He then saw his father and the other team members taking out plastic bags of various colors, all filled with crystal cores that had not been cleaned yet. Some bags were tied with knots, probably because they had torn.

Liang Jiuhui fell silent.

So what exactly made his father, a dignified former mayor, and a team of elite members use a bunch of broken plastic bags to collect so many valuable crystal cores? Some of them even contained mutated crystal cores.

“Let’s talk about that later, let’s find some water to clean these up first,” Liang Wei said directly. He wanted to take a shower immediately; he could hardly stand the smell on himself any longer. If he didn’t bathe now, he wondered if he’d even be able to eat dinner, while Liang Yongqing, after taking out the crystal cores, had already slipped away to shower.

Zheng Miaomiao was helping Liang Jiuqing wash her dirt-covered clothes, thinking of the disheveled Liang Jiuqing she’d just seen, and knew Liang Jiuqing risked her life daily on missions, which was why she deeply admired her.

Liang Jiuqing was Liang Wei’s only daughter. If she wanted, she could live indulgently every day, being pampered by others, yet Liang Jiuqing always participated in the most dangerous missions, taking the lead in the team.

Some onlookers in the refuge thought Mayor Liang’s daughter was foolish—a woman, and the mayor’s daughter, turning herself into a tomboy every day—unable to understand what her family was thinking.

However, they only dared to discuss it as gossip among themselves. After all, they had heard that the last two people who made trouble were taken by Liang Jiuqing to lure zombies; one of them was even a Space Element Ability User. Since then, no one had seen the two troublemakers again.

Only a few who had been in the same team as Zheng Miaomiao knew the real reason behind it. Ever since Sun Xueyi and Liu Jiajin were taken away, they had been tiptoeing every day, afraid they might be the next to be taken to lure zombies.

But Zheng Miaomiao had lost interest in holding grudges against those people because she had heard something from Liang Jiuqing that truly surprised her.
