Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

In the Space, the family felt relieved after hearing Lin Tianhui’s explanation, but they didn’t know why Lin Cheng and the other two had been called away by Liang Jiuhui.

“It must be that Liang Jiuhui is suspecting the cause of the zombie horde,” Lu Hao analyzed.

Last time, when Lin Cheng mentioned that the zombies had harassed their base construction, he and Su Jin had their suspicions. And now that it had happened a second time, Liang Jiuhui was surely taking it seriously, which is why he wanted to inquire about the incident from Lin Cheng and the others.

However, this also indirectly showed Liang Jiuhui’s trust in their family.

After listening, Huang Yunxiang was not anxious anymore and went to help Lin Yunguo in the kitchen with tonight’s dinner preparations.

After the family had finished their meal in the Space, Lin Cheng and the other two came back, having already eaten with Guo Yang and his group.

“Dad! I heard you showed off your skills today,” Lin Xiuyuan said, chuckling.

“What do you mean ‘show off’? That’s the experience I’ve accumulated from long-term combat!”

Lin Cheng was actually quite pleased. He felt proud for the Earth Element Ability Users today, especially since Xia Mufei’s look of admiration towards him had turned into one of worship.

Mao Zhihang recounted their conversation with Liang Jiuhui to everyone, including the fact that he had accepted the Crystal Core from Liang Jiuhui.

“Aunt’s husband, well taken—it’s a loss not to accept such things,” Su Jin said in approval.

Though Lin Cheng and the others had done what they should, accepting gratitude when others wished to express it was also fair, especially since Liang Jiuhui was very wealthy, and it was the kind of wealth that would only grow over time.

She had previously calculated with Lu Hao that the base had started charging rent and various fees. It was even said that the Water Element Ability Users would be recruited by the base. In the future, if survivors wanted to use water, they would need to pay the base. Since her uncle had stood out today, he indeed deserved the Crystal Core.

However, if what Mao Zhihang said was true, the origins of the zombie horde might indeed be the result of someone’s deliberate actions.

Could it be that Invisible Person?

The more Su Jin thought about it, the more possible it seemed. She didn’t know what kind of grudge the Invisible Person might have against Liang Jiuhui or Liang Wei, but gambling with so many lives meant this person was either a madman or an extreme paranoid.

“It’s very likely him,” Lu Hao said after hearing Su Jin’s thoughts.

No matter what, in her previous life, when she arrived at the S City base in the second year, she hadn’t heard anything about an Invisible Person. Moreover, under Liang Jiuhui’s management, the base could be said to be flourishing. So Liang Jiuhui should be capable of dealing with the Invisible Person. With this in mind, Su Jin stopped worrying about it. 𝑅âɴÒ₿Ěs̈

The group also heard an interesting story from Mrs. Su.

In the past two days, besides those causing trouble, Guo Yang’s shop had been swarmed by numerous female customers. Someone had spread the news that the shop owner Guo Yang was still an eligible bachelor. Hooking up with him, who had Crystal Cores and supplies, meant no more worries about food or drink.

Thus, hearing this news, many girls with such intentions visited the shop under the pretense of buying things, aiming to create the right opportunity. There were even women who offered themselves for the night…

Xue Wanyi, Yin Chengtian, Shi Jin, and others, who were originally enjoying the spectacle, also became targets of many women’s pursuit, making them complain incessantly and even try to avoid any girls approaching them.

“What about Liao Yifan? Is she not upset?” Su Jin asked with interest.

“Yifan? These past few days she’s been chasing around the thugs who want to steal other’s supplies. Whenever she sees them, she fights them. It’s a good thing the base hasn’t bothered to intervene,” Lin Tianhui said, finding it amusing. But she felt that Liao Yifan was actually avoiding Guo Yang.

…

After chatting with each other, the family prepared to go back to their rooms to rest. It wasn’t until Su Jin returned to her room that she remembered they hadn’t extracted the Beast Core from the Mutated Beast they had killed today.

“Good girl, you rest first, I’ll go dig,”

Lu Hao habitually rubbed Su Jin’s head. He could tell that Su Jin was already very tired and felt somewhat reluctant to let her go dig for beast cores anymore.

Su Jin initially wanted to follow him, but Lu Hao firmly disagreed, leaving her no choice but to take a shower first.

However, she didn’t expect to feel a burning sensation below her collarbone during the shower, for some unknown reason!

What is this?

The green leaf tattoo from the space?

Why has it suddenly started heating up?

Thinking of Lu Hao, who was out digging for beast cores, Su Jin remembered a possibility. She quickly finished the shower, got dressed, and tried to summon the jade slip. Sure enough, the jade slip that appeared in her hand was glowing, just like the first time she had received it!

The light emitted by the jade slip in her hand grew stronger and stronger until a burst of intense light shot into Su Jin’s brow.

Just like the first time she received the jade slip, it wanted to tell her some information about the Wood Spirit Space. The space could be upgraded, and with each upgrade, new functions unlocked along with new information.

The original primary space had now been upgraded to a Level One space when the spiritual power reached a certain threshold. The area inside the space had increased, and when collecting items from outside the space, the items could now be placed directly at a specified location, but one important point to note was that after the space was upgraded, it still required a continuous supply of spiritual power; otherwise, there could still be a possibility of downgrading.

Initially, Su Jin felt delighted to know about the new features added to the space. The crystal cores and beast cores she had absorbed over the past few days finally paid off. But her heart turned cold in an instant when she received the last piece of information from the jade slip.

It could be downgraded?

Thinking about it, it seemed only natural. The space maintained itself with spiritual power, and everything inside, from the livestock and poultry to the crops, even various functions of the space, all depended on spiritual power. If it just consumed without supply, then the space would naturally downgrade.

It seems the revolution is unfinished, and they still need to make an effort!

But it’s certainly good news that the space can upgrade. As she was eagerly thinking about sharing this news with Lu Hao, she happened to see Nie Qing standing outside the Lu Residence, looking at the small stream ahead.

Did Uncle Nie also discover the space upgrade?

“Girl, did you feel a surge of spiritual power just now?” Nie Qing asked. He was just feeling a bit sleepy watching TV and planning to rest when he felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power from the space, so he hurried out.

“Yes, Uncle Nie, the space upgraded,”

Su Jin told him about the information that had just appeared in the jade slip.

“Each upgrade unlocks new information? Interesting,”

Nie Qing was reassured after hearing this. He had predicted that this space had other functions to unlock, but he didn’t expect it could actually upgrade. However, he wondered about the true intention of the space’s creator. Rather than protection, he felt it was more like a test, but to find out the final answer, they could only continue upgrading this space.

At that moment, Lu Hao also came over. Seeing the two people at the door, he asked, “Did this place upgrade?”
