Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Battle in Progress

Wood Element doesn’t actually have an advantage over Ice Element, and this was a Level Four Ice-Element Zombie, one level higher than Lin Xiuyuan’s Ice-Element Special Abilities. Its entire body was encased in a layer of ice, seemingly to increase its own defense.

At this moment, the first batch of Guard Squad members, drained of their special ability power, had been replaced by the second batch brought in by Li Haochu.

The first batch of Guard Squad quickly received treatment from the medical team led by Xu Mingzhi and Yao Yi, with Mrs. Su Lin Tianhui among them. She purposefully sought out the most severely injured member of the Guard Squad.

That Guard Squad member’s half an arm was brutally torn off by a Power Element Mutated Zombie, but thankfully, the loss of half his arm meant he wasn’t infected by the Zombie Virus. Lin Tianhui quickly used her Healing Element Ability to stop his bleeding.

The young man, who hadn’t cried during the fight, now wept at the sight of his severed arm.

...

“Don’t cry,”

a boy’s voice made the Guard Squad member freeze.

Rong Yuan squatted on the ground, not sure how to comfort the person before him, having only passed by while thinking of going out to slay Zombies and seeing this Guard Squad member, who had suffered a similar plight, crying in sorrow.

“I’m sorry,”

the Guard Squad member stopped looking at his severed arm, although he didn’t know why he felt the need to apologize.

Lin Tianhui sighed. Anyone seeing themselves become disabled would surely find it hard to accept at first.

“I am too, but I can still be very formidable,”

Rong Yuan turned to show the man his other, empty, severed arm and said.

He had slain Zombies before and didn’t feel like physical disability would affect him much.

The Guard Squad member was taken aback for a moment before nodding, tears still glistening in his eyes.

Yes, he too was like that, but he could still be very formidable.

Lin Tianhui started to view Rong Yuan in a new light, previously thinking he was a rather silent child and even sinister in his gaze, but now she felt that Rong Yuan was actually quite a good… child?

The moment Rong Yuan stood up, Lin Tianhui watched him for a long time. Had he always been this tall, or had she remembered wrongly?

It seemed he couldn’t be called a child anymore, could he?

And he was actually following the other Special Ability Users towards the city gate?

She remembered he seemed to have awakened his Special Ability during the Red Rain. She wanted to call out to him, but the crowd was too large, and she could no longer see Rong Yuan’s figure.

She hoped he would be safe. She remembered Yifan telling them about the boy’s background; it was quite pitiable.

More and more Special Ability Users flocked to the city gate, and the Base had to organize staff members to temporarily block them inside. Just now, a batch of Guard Squad members and a group of registered Special Ability Users had already gone out. They couldn’t let so many people rush out at once, or it would have the opposite effect.

Seeing this, Sheng Jing quickly organized a few staff members to divide these Special Ability Users according to their Elements and informed everyone not to worry. As soon as someone’s abilities were exhausted and they returned, the ones behind would immediately be rotated in.

Su Jin and the Level Four Ice Element Zombie fought until the end. The Ice Element Mutated Zombie had the same weakness as Lin Xiuyuan—its special ability power was too low. To be precise, its attacks drained too much power. By now, even the layer of ice on its body could no longer form.

A vine wrapped tightly around the Ice Element Zombie, its tip piercing directly into the back of the zombie’s head!

Hiss!

“Granny,” Lin Xiuyuan called out in annoyance, “at least wash it before giving it to me!” _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

“Yeah, indeed,”

Liang Jiuhui offered no rebuttal as he absorbed a thunder element crystal core and headed towards the top of the wall. When he saw the still dense mass of zombies below, the urge to throw his cup resurfaced. It seemed the base was not going to have it easy these next few days!

Sheng Jing handed a bottle of water to Liang Jiuhui; she had great respect for him, leading the charge wasn’t something just anyone would dare to do, let alone the leader of a base.

“There’s been a heavy bleed again,”

Liang Jiuhui said, taking a sip of water and looking at the ability users still fighting below.

“Heavy bleed?”

Sheng Jing scanned Liang Jiuhui from head to toe; he didn’t seem to have sustained serious injuries.

“I promised them one-third of the earnings after this,”

Liang Jiuhui said with a wry smile, pointing to the two people below.

“…”

She should have guessed; that guy must have thrown crystal cores at people again.

“I think they’re worth that much.”

They took a load off you! Sheng Jing managed to hold back from saying the rest.

Hearing someone say that the money he spent was worth it, Liang Jiuhui immediately felt less stifled in his heart and in good spirits, went to find Li Haochu.
