Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 466 - Yao Rui
Chapter 466: Chapter 466 Yao Rui
Chapter 466: Chapter 466 Yao Rui
Several people were talking, helping a family understand the current situation.
In the D City Base, survivors, due to the scarcity of food, no longer went out to kill zombies. Most people lay inside their houses conserving heat and energy, some even starved to death in their beds—a death many envied.
In the cold winter, lying in a warm bed and quietly falling asleep—even if it was from starvation—was preferable to being eaten by zombies outside.
That’s what Yao Rui thought.
Today marked the third day she had stopped eating. She wondered how long it would be before she could see Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai again, and whether the man who had made her life so miserable was still alive. He probably was, since he had taken so many supplies, all of which she had collected with great effort!!!
Was she stupid to have trusted that man?
It wasn’t just her. There were too many around her who had been betrayed by friends and family, even losing their lives. Between living and morality, many chose to prioritize their own survival.
If she had another chance to survive, she definitely wouldn’t trust anyone easily again, nor would she leave any regrets before dying.
If only…if only she could do it all over again.
In a trance, lying on the iron bed, Yao Rui smelled a strong fragrance of rice porridge. Could this be a hallucination before death?
It must be because she was too hungry that she was having this day and night dreamlike hallucination.
It seemed like someone was also gently shaking her and calling her name.
Who was it?
She slowly opened her eyes and saw a familiar face anxiously calling out to her.
Was this Da Yu?

Da Yu’s real name was actually Wu Xiaoyu, but because she was tall and everyone had a good relationship, they affectionately called her Da Yu.
“Yao Rui, you’re awake? That’s great, you’re not dead yet!”
Da Yu’s anxious face turned into one of joy as she spoke.
“I’m almost dead,”
Yao Rui’s voice came out weak and hoarse.
“Don’t die yet. I have something to tell you before you decide whether to die or not. If you still decide to die, could you leave your Crystal Core to me?”
Da Yu said excitedly, dancing with her hands and feet.
She had bought supplies from Zhang Xiaohong and then started to wake people up with Kong Shangjie and others. Yao Rui was the third person she called; of course, the first two had already permanently gone to sleep…
“Crystal Core? What use is that thing now?”
Yao Rui spoke weakly.
“That’s what I want to talk to you about.”
So Da Yu sat next to Yao Rui and told her about someone selling supplies at the base. Initially, Yao Rui was skeptical, but watching Da Yu’s eagerness to ask her whether she wanted to continue choosing death or if she would take over her Crystal Core convinced her…
“You’ve already bought it?”
Yao Rui used her arms to prop herself up and asked.
Da Yu nodded her head, though her own Crystal Core wasn’t abundant. The first two who hadn’t been awakened by her might or might not have had Crystal Cores, but it seemed like Yao Rui clearly didn’t plan on dying anymore.
“You’re not dying then? That works too. I’ll sell you this bowl of porridge for 30 Crystal Cores a bowl, guaranteeing you’ll have the energy to walk to Zhang Xiaohong. What do you think?”
Da Yu conjured up a bowl of steaming hot porridge as if performing a magic trick.
30 crystal cores for a bowl of porridge?
That cheap?
“I’ll buy”
Yao Rui managed a forced smile, then pulled out a handful of crystal cores from under the iron bed. She sipped the porridge in small mouthfuls while watching Da Yu count out 30 crystal cores to take.
This way of trading made her, who had awakened once again, feel quite comfortable, although Da Yu was a teammate, his straightforward nature had always seemed a bit odd to her before, but now she liked it very much.
The soft porridge slid into her stomach, which had not seen a drop of water for days and made Yao Rui’s eyes well up. If there really was a chance to keep living, who would choose to die?
Da Yu counted 30 crystal cores and put them in her pocket, feeling content. Trading a bowl of porridge for a kilo of grain, she wasn’t losing out, hehe.
After giving Yao Rui the address of Zhang Xiaohong, Da Yu went on to call others because she still had a few bowls of porridge to sell…
After thanking Da Yu, Yao Rui quickly finished her bowl of porridge, took a deep breath, and pulled out two large opaque storage boxes from under the bed.
She opened the two boxes, which were filled with crystal cores.
Before leaving, Tang Yaoting had taken all her supplies but had left her these two boxes of crystals cores, believing them to be of no use, not expecting that they could now be used to buy supplies.
…
Su Jin was surprised to see a young, frail-looking woman with a huge sack on her back walk in.
Could this be a Power Element Ability User?
Yao Rui was not a Power Element Ability User; she was just a Fire Element Ability user who naturally had good physical strength. Besides, she wasn’t comfortable leaving the crystal cores in her dorm, so she decided to put them all into a sack herself and carry them in.
“Excuse me, is this the place selling supplies?”
Yao Rui asked a few people who looked honest in front.
“Yes, we are selling,”
Su Jin replied.
Yao Rui nodded, picked up the crystal cores again, and laid them in front of the group.
“Can all these crystal cores be exchanged for supplies?”
Yao Rui’s question surprised the family; what a big client!
It was rare for them to see someone come alone with so many crystal cores to buy supplies.
“Sure, come over here with me to count them. It might take some time with so many,”
Huang Yunxiang said smiling, as there might be thousands of them.
Yao Rui glanced once more at the family, then nodded and followed Huang Yunxiang into the main hall of the house. Lin Xiuyuan kindly handed her a price list so she could consider buying some things.
Gradually, a few more awakened people incredulously walked in, some men even had to lean against the wall as they slowly entered. The women were better off since the person who woke them was Da Yu, and since Da Yu sold a bowl of porridge per awakened person, they still had some energy left.
“Heavens, is the Apocalypse ending? Why is there someone selling food?”
A man, skinny as a rake, exclaimed. Could it be that all the zombies outside are gone?
“Uncle, the Apocalypse isn’t over yet; there are still plenty of zombies outside,”
Kong Shangjie and Zhao Le walked in and joined the conversation. They had found some crystal cores too, some of which were ownerless, left by those who had died. Rather than letting them go to waste, they collected them all.
