Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Chapter Three Hundred Thirty-One Training

Rong Yuan also saw the commotion at the hospital.

The auto repair shop was right next to the hospital, and it was time for him to go to training.

After the Zombie Tide, a Commander Li from the base actually came to find him personally, asking if he was interested in joining the forces of the base. By doing so, not only could he improve his Special Ability Level, but he could also go on missions to kill zombies and earn Crystal Cores.

“I want to fix cars in the auto repair shop,”

Rong Yuan had said to Li Haochu at that time. He didn’t refuse Li Haochu’s request, but he also wanted to continue staying at the auto repair shop.

“Rong Yuan, if you really want to go… we won’t stop you. We’re still brothers here,”

...

Ban Xiaobo said from the side. He could tell that Rong Yuan’s talent in Metal Element Ability was rare, and he also had great potential for future growth. Keeping him to work on cars was indeed a bit of a waste of talent.

“How about this, you work on cars here during the daytime and go to the training ground in the afternoon. How does that sound?”

Li Haochu suggested a compromise.

Rong Yuan was someone he had his eyes on, and since he hadn’t been through formal conscription assessment, it would be suitable for Rong Yuan to train with him. He was also busy with the Guard squad’s matters during the day and only trained on his own in the afternoon. Moreover, Rong Yuan’s height and his special metal arm might cause discomfort if he joined the training team directly.

So, starting from a few days ago, Rong Yuan began going to the base’s training ground every afternoon at this time to train with Li Haochu.

“You lad, you’re five minutes late today,”

Li Haochu, who was doing warm-ups on the ground, said to Rong Yuan.

“Got held up watching a spectacle,”

Rong Yuan said, starting his own warm-up and telling Li Haochu about what had happened at the hospital entrance.

He had wanted to greet Su Jin and the others at that time, but it was not quite the right occasion, so he didn’t say anything. He just couldn’t understand the behavior of the mother and daughter.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I want you to know, in the Apocalypse, never easily sympathize with the weak around you,”

Li Haochu stood up and said, looking at Rong Yuan.

Sometimes, those who have the face of a good person or look pitiful are often able to make the worst decisions unexpectedly, like those who posed as canteen workers in the Refuge or the woman who attracted the Zombie Rats; there are far too many such examples.

They are indeed the weak, but they are also capable of lethal harm in the most imperceptible ways.

They often put on a kind face in front of others but reveal their meanest side the moment they turn around.

“Of course, I’m not teaching you that the strong rule, but in this Apocalypse, if you lead a team in the future, don’t ignore anyone around you, even if they’re as weak as ants,”

Li Haochu said.

Rong Yuan nodded heavily.

For some reason, when he heard these words, a surge of regret welled up from within, as if he had really experienced something similar.

However, the rigorous training that Li Haochu set for him soon made him forget this feeling.

Guo Yang had also closed his shop early that day, waiting at home with Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin for everyone to return.

Knowing that the family had returned safely, they finally put their minds at ease, as spending the entire night out was quite worrying.

“We’re not going out for the next two days. Guo Yang, make a list of what your store still needs,”

Guo Yang’s stick paused, and he looked up at Su Jin in surprise.

It couldn’t really be like what he was thinking, could it?

“Does it consume Crystal Cores?” Guo Yang asked with wide eyes.

“Yes, that’s why I’m so desperate to collect Crystal Cores. Without a supply of Crystal Cores, not only would the Space lose its preservative ability, it might also disappear forever,”

Su Jin could only say that much. Lu Hao had brought up this issue with her before, and if Guo Yang and the others became suspicious over time, she could explain it this way, and it sounded completely logical.

“My god, Su Jin, why didn’t you tell me sooner?!”

“I get it, you were afraid of creating pressure on us, weren’t you? Lu Hao and the others know about this too, right?”

Guo Yang stood up, visibly agitated. He walked around the vegetable garden several times. So it was really like this. No wonder not just Su Jin, who had always been money-minded, but even Lu Hao, who previously cared little for wealth, had become such a miser! Every day, Lu Hao would meticulously go through the accounts he brought.

“Money and all that, are just worldly possessions that you can’t bring into life or take with you in death,”

He remembered that this was what Lu Hao had said to him back when he suggested Lu Hao keep his money with him for investment purposes.

And in the Apocalypse, Lu Hao had practically become the second biggest miser, second only to Su Jin. Even the accounts he brought, Lu Hao would review seriously every day.

Su Jin: …

“So, does the Space consume a lot of Crystal Cores?”

Guo Yang asked a crucial question.

“Yes, at least 100 cores every day,”

Su Jin’s words nearly sent Guo Yang straight to the afterlife. Their beloved Space, it turned out, was a bottomless pit that consumed Crystal Cores without blinking an eye!! _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
