Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Mao Qiqi came in the first moment, Su Jin knew it.

Watching Su Jin suddenly stand up and run out, the family also showed delighted expressions and followed her out. Could it be that Qiqi had come back?

“Qiqi!”

Su Jin, running at the front, saw Mao Qiqi safe and sound and immediately felt the urge to cry.

She had really been on edge the whole time, afraid that if something irreparable happened to Qiqi because of the task she had accepted, she would live in guilt for the rest of her life.

Su Jin then checked Mao Qiqi from head to toe and, finding that aside from some dirt on her clothes, she was completely uninjured. She truly felt relieved.

The family was overjoyed to tears when Lin Tianzhen and Mao Zhihang also entered the Space. Just now, after Lin Tianhui had seen Mao Qiqi, he had Su Xiangzhe leave the Space to call them in.

Seeing her daughter only dirty, Lin Tianzhen hugged Mao Qiqi tightly.

“Mom, I’m alright,” Mao Qiqi assured.

Mao Qiqi, seeing her family so worried about her, instantly regretted her actions. She shouldn’t have run off alone, causing everyone to worry.

“You child, how could you be so careless on your own, you almost scared your mom and dad to death,” Lin Tianzhen said, almost in tears again.

“Qiqi, where are you now?” Mao Zhihang asked the crucial question.

“I don’t know, I was carried by someone for a very long distance, I don’t know where this is,” Mao Qiqi replied.

“Did he hurt you?” Su Jin also asked.

“No, he was protecting me all the time, and he is very powerful,”

Mao Qiqi talked about what happened on the way as the man carried her. His Metal Element Ability was like a reaper—zombies couldn’t even get close to him. Most importantly, he protected Mao Qiqi in his arms very well.

She also told the family about the little blue dot she had discovered and everything she had seen.

“So you can hear his words when he can’t speak out loud?”

Lin Xiuyuan stroked his chin. No wonder the man had run away with Qiqi.

Mao Qiqi nodded. While being carried by him, she had tried to communicate with him using spiritual power, and he indeed responded.

“Qiqi, how is he now?”

Lu Hao asked, wondering if he had fainted since Mao Qiqi had been brought into the Space…

“He seems to have fainted from a fever, hot…as hot as Grandpa’s flat pan!”

Mao Qiqi tried to describe the temperature as best as she knew.

“…”

A silence fell over the Space.

As hot as a flat pan… maybe he’s cooked?

“So… is he still alive?” Lin Tianhui asked.

“He should be alive, I felt his breath,”

Mao Qiqi now was walking into the Lu Residence with everyone and she picked up a piece of cake from the stone table and began to eat as she spoke.

“Well, it’s good that you’re back. Later, let Xiao Jin go out with you,”

Grandpa Lin Yunguo finally sat down. Since Qiqi had disappeared, he had been anxiously pacing back and forth in the Space because he couldn’t stop worrying whenever he sat down.

“Grandpa, I have to go out later,” Mao Qiqi said.

“What?!!”

The family looked at Mao Qiqi in unison. Why would she go out again?

Mao Qiqi blinked and said, “He’s very powerful.”

“So?”

Mao Zhihang frowned and asked; he had always known that his daughter liked formidable people. Could it be?

“So I want to take care of him.”

Mao Qiqi replied with a smile.

Sigh~ The old father, Mao Zhihang, breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, his daughter hadn’t said she liked him.

But he quickly reacted again. That’s not right, is it? What does it mean for a child to take care of an adult?

And Xiao Jin had said, that’s the Base Leader of E City Base!!!

Why would she take care of a Base Leader?

The family looked at each other, clearly not understanding what Mao Qiqi meant.

Su Jin and Lu Hao’s expressions were complicated. Although Lian Jiyue had helped them, compared to Mao Qiqi’s safety, they still preferred that Mao Qiqi stay inside the space and not go out; they could always try to find Lian Jiyue’s location tomorrow and see how he was doing.

Having heard Su Jin’s plan, Mao Qiqi still firmly shook her head and said, “He will be eaten by zombies if he stays outside.”

Such a formidable person getting eaten by zombies would be such a waste…

“Qiqi, if you really want to go out, it’s not a problem, but if you run into danger, make sure you save yourself first, okay?”

Lin Tianzhen had already dried her tears. As Mao Qiqi’s mother, she knew that once her daughter decided on something, she would stick to it. Rather than using her authority as an adult to try to persuade her and force her to obey, it was better to let her decide for herself. But she also made her promise that if she faced any danger she couldn’t handle, she must retreat into the space first.

“Thank you, Mom.”

Mao Qiqi kissed Lin Tianzhen’s face happily. She knew her mom was the best in the world.

However, shortly after Mao Qiqi left the space, she came back in and excitedly said to everyone, “The zombies actually don’t attack him at all!”

Isn’t that … just amazing?

Just after she left the space, she saw two zombies wandering around a deserted warehouse and those two zombies, walking near Lian Jiyue lying on some cardboard, behaved as if they couldn’t see him at all and rushed directly at Mao Qiqi!

After Mao Qiqi pulled out two iron pipes beside her and dealt with those two zombies, she came back in to tell everyone about this discovery.

“If the zombies don’t attack him, could he have become a zombie himself?”

Nie Qing analyzed, as zombies only don’t attack their own kind and plants.

“Oh my God, Qiqi, maybe you shouldn’t go out. What if he wakes up from a fever and becomes a zombie?”

Lu Guanhai also said with a face full of terror.

“It’s okay; right now, he looks normal, his face is normal, and apart from his nails being a bit long, there’s no decay anywhere on his body. Let me check again,”

Mao Qiqi said and darted out again.

Mao Zhihang sighed, his expression somewhat helpless.

“Aunt, uncle, don’t worry. After we go out when it gets light, we’ll go find Qiqi’s location,” Su Jin consoled.

It was not until now that she felt a sense of mission completion, but thinking about what happened at the research facility, she couldn’t help feeling sad again.

Luo Hui… He must have gone, right?

By now, it had already dawned outside the space.

A seemingly ordinary morning, yet the E City Base was in turmoil.

Many people woke up early to find that the research institute inside the base had collapsed!

At the same time, Han Yizhou also had Han Wan quickly gather all the base’s forces to go house to house searching for the two people who had escaped from the research institute. In the collapsed institute, they didn’t find Pei Yuan and the other two; he suspected that all four of them must have escaped!

Perhaps the explosion that happened in the research institute was also a collaborative effort by those four with outsiders!

The base had been under martial law since Lian Jiyue ran away, and no one had gone out, so those people must still be inside the base.

“Even if I have to turn the base upside down, find those people for me!”

Han Yizhou said furiously.
