Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213 -Two Hundred and Thirteen: Compensation

By the time the two arrived home, Lin Cheng, Lin Tianhui, and Mrs. Su had also returned.

Guo Yang and the others had closed the shop early to come back as well, intending to discuss the base and the shop with them, but when they returned, the duo had already been taken away by Liang Jiuhui.

“What? You’re going to escort survivors back to the base?!”

They all asked in unison, wondering why such a task would fall to them; shouldn’t it be handled by official personnel?

“He must suspect someone inside,” Lu Hao said, understanding Liang Jiuhui’s approach. On one hand, the strength of him and Su Jin was evident; on the other hand, the suspect might be right beside him, so employing outsiders was likely the safest method.

“Lu Hao, what are you holding in your hand?”

Guo Yang keenly noticed the several packages in Lu Hao’s hand.

Smack!

The packages of Crystal Cores were tossed onto the marble tea table by Lu Hao, making a crisp sound.

A crowd gathered around

Are these… Crystal Cores?!

So many?

“Brother-in-law, how many are there?” Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but ask, as there seemed to be several pounds’ worth!

“6000 pieces,” Su Jin answered with a smile.

6000 pieces!!!

“Thi-this, so many?” Shi Jin was so astonished he found himself stuttering, having never seen so many Crystal Cores before!

“So generous…”

Guo Yang, who was ready to boast about the shop’s earnings over the past few days, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him—the amount the two had made in three days was more than double what the shop had earned!

“Xiao Jin, Xiao Hao, you two shouldn’t just think about making money; is this safe?”

Mrs. Su, Lin Tianhui, was somewhat worried, especially since the previous group who had been transferred had been completely wiped out. It sounded terrifying.

“Don’t worry, Mom, we know what we’re doing,” Su Jin reassured.

This time, aside from the two of them, there would also be people arranged by Li Haochu to follow. If those people still wanted to cause trouble, then they could just bring it on.

After hearing this, Lin Tianhui nodded her head. She was still reassured with Su Jin and Lu Hao being together, and in the worst-case scenario, the two could escape into their Space, so she didn’t say anything further.

However, Su Jin remembered that everyone had not yet eaten, so she prepared to bring out some ready-made dishes from her Space.

Liao Yifan and the others watched hungrily as she carried plate after plate of food from her Space. These past few days without the meals from Su Jin’s Space, they had mainly survived on instant noodles or sandwiches with ham or something, which, though these items were quite scarce in the Apocalypse, eating them for three days straight was becoming a bit too much to bear.

“Su Jin, it’s so good you’re back, I feel like I’ve lost weight,” Liao Yifan said while arranging the bowls and chopsticks.

“I heard you’re now Guo Yang’s girlfriend?” _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

Su Jin whispered in her ear, having been told by Mrs. Su, although Guo Yang had mentioned it was only a temporary measure.

Su Xiangzhe and others also agreed that if Nie Qing hadn’t been with them, they probably wouldn’t have managed even a third of that number.

Xue Wanyi was also amazed; he hadn’t expected that they would gain so much from just one trip out. With so many mutated beasts, when would they all be sold?

“So I’m thinking of trying to sell them whole. Otherwise, dealing with them one by one is too much of a hassle,” Su Jin told everyone.

Guo Yang nodded. Selling them whole was indeed a good idea. If they priced them a little cheaper, many people would surely come to buy. Having Su Jin’s group process them one by one was truly a waste of time.

By the end of the meal, nearly everyone was stuffed, including Guo Yang and his party. They felt this delicious feast made up for all the meals they hadn’t enjoyed in the past few days.

On the importance of Su Jin…

After eating their fill, Guo Yang took out the account books of the store from the past few days for everyone to look over. Lin Xiuyuan found it quite interesting that, since the Apocalypse, account books had become handwritten.

The accounts noted by Guo Yang were clear at a glance, even laypeople like them could understand it.

“It looks like we’ll need to make some more flatbreads in a few days,” said Su Jin, referring to making flatbreads in her Space, but Guo Yang and the others took it as if she meant making them in the kitchen, feeling that Su Jin’s group was working too hard.

“Xiao Jin, I think my special ability is about to level up,” Lin Tianzhen said with a smile.

These past few days, she had been helping Lin Cheng and Mao Zhihang build walls. Though she was tired every day, her Water ability was exercised to its limits. Just after finishing dinner, she felt her body seemed to be filled with special ability power, which was very similar to the feeling of leveling up that Xiao Jin and the others had described.

“That’s great, mom!” Mao Qiqi was also happy for Lin Tianzhen.

Lin Tianzhen, who was close to leveling up, went back to her room first, and the others also began preparing to rest one after another. Considering they had to go to the Refuge the next day, both Su Jin and Lu Hao planned to have a good rest that night.

Tomorrow, they had tasks at hand.
