Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357: Chapter 357 Lian Family

“Hello, my name is Cen Chu, and the people in the two cars behind me are my teammates,”

Cen Chu introduced himself to Lu Hao, gesturing towards the two cars behind him.

“Hello, I’m Lu Hao. The people in the car are my family members. We’ve just arrived in City E and would like to know the way to the base,”

Lu Hao replied amicably.

At that moment, Su Jin and the others also got out of the car. Since they were asking for directions, it was better to maintain some manners.

Cen Chu looked at the people from the car in surprise, noting their clean appearance. Were they really the ones who had killed the zombies here?

“Did you clear this area?” Cen Chu couldn’t help asking.

“No, we too had just arrived not long ago,”

Cen Chu was somewhat disappointed by Lu Hao’s answer but believed them when he saw that their vehicle had no bloodstains.

“We are from the City E base, you can follow us,”

Cen Chu said with a smile. He was unsure of their abilities, but since they were also headed to the base, it was good to do them a favor.

“Thank you very much,”

Lu Hao expressed his gratitude, realizing they would probably reach the City E base today.

“However, the base is on the other side of the city center. If we go back from here and everything goes smoothly, we should be able to reach before nightfall, which will take about three to four hours,” Cen Chu continued to explain.

So if things didn’t go smoothly on the road, could they still make it before dark today?

Su Jin felt a bit disappointed. It seemed as though they had been traveling for many days, yet they still hadn’t reached the City E base. The progress of the mission was slow…

Seeing the two cars in front of them already turning around and driving forward, Lu Hao quickly started the car as well.

“Girl, don’t worry. It hasn’t been many days. We just spend more time at night, and we should still enjoy the scenery along the way,”

Nie Qing consoled Su Jin after hearing her words.

Su Jin nodded. The task assigned by Liang Jiuhui didn’t specify a number of days; she just hoped that Dr. Pei and the others were still safe in City E.

————————————————

In the City E base, Han Wan looked at a document in her hand and couldn’t help but sigh and lean on the desk beside her.

Her son was incredibly intelligent, but almost completely lacking in emotional intelligence.

It was not unlike the shameless child born to someone with the surname Luo, who was more reassuring; furthermore, her husband, Lian Zongren, had actually handed over the position of base leader to him and had instead gone to enjoy himself in City B.

Fortunately, she still had a grip on Lian Zongren, and although that despicable person held the title of base leader, the real power within the base still lay with her own son, Lian Ze.

Yet this Lian Ze…

Indeed gave her a lot of worry as a mother.

“Old Zhang, how is that matter going?”

Dressed in a cheongsam, the beautiful Han Wan only allowed Old Zhang to look down at her shoe tip as he replied, “Madam, rest assured, it’s going smoothly.”

He had been working for Han Wan even before the apocalypse, so he naturally knew which matter she was referring to as soon as she mentioned it.

Han Wan nodded in satisfaction. She truly hoped that Lian Zongren would return in time to witness that dramatic scene.

Just then, the gate of the courtyard rang. Han Wan immediately stood up. Had Lian Ze returned?

The vermilion wood door was pushed open, and indeed, it was Lian Ze returning from the research institute.

“Oh~~ I misunderstood again,”

Lian Ze shrugged indifferently. Had Feifei been deceiving him all along?

However, remembering the work at the research institute, he didn’t say much more to Han Wan and instead got up and headed to the upstairs study.

Han Wan sighed. No wonder Lian Zongren decided to pass the position of Base Leader to Lian Jiyue. In Lian Ze’s mind, there were probably only his research and experiments…

But their Han Family wasn’t willing to give up their position for anyone else.

A fierce look came over Han Wan’s exquisitely beautiful face; in the apocalypse, removing someone was really quite simple!

The information Han Wan received was also placed in front of Lian Jiyue, who looked at those data with a complex expression, then tossed the documents into the trash can.

He still remembered that girl named Feifei, who had once appeared at their family gathering’s dinner table with a radiant smile. He never expected her to end up tormented like this under Lian Ze’s hands.

His military career had taught him not to tolerate such things, but his father had also mentioned that the base research institute was not under his jurisdiction, and he had no right to interfere.

“Young master, don’t be upset, I made some coffee,”

An elderly woman, appearing to be a servant, came in carrying a cup of coffee.

“Ah Ma, thank you, you’ve been such a help,”

Lian Jiyue’s clenched fists slowly relaxed, and a warmth flooded his heart.

The reason he called her Ah Ma was that Xu Ping had been his nanny since he was a child.

He only knew that when he was left at the Lian Family’s home, it was Xu Ping, who had just had a child, who fed him and helped him grow up; she had remained by his side ever since. Fortunately, in the apocalypse, he was able to protect Xu Ping; otherwise, he really wouldn’t have had anyone left by his side.

“What trouble? Young master, you also take care of your health, and don’t think about those unnecessary things. In all matters, simply doing your best is enough,”

Xu Ping said lovingly as she looked at Lian Jiyue.
