Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 714: Protected by Someone
Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Protected by Someone
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at his watch on his wrist and then at the car that could no longer move, giving Qiqi a thumbs up.
Lately, Qiqi’s scouting ability had grown increasingly powerful, even starting to make accurate time calculations. Now, 11 minutes after Qiqi had spoken, the car indeed got blocked by a horde of zombies and couldn’t move forward.
Seeing this, the six people inside the car immediately stood up, ready to get out and clear the zombies.
"Xiao Jin, do they think we’re their protectees?"
Su Xiangzhe asked, observing the situation. It seemed they weren’t counting on the help of the Heart Talk Team members at all.
"Qiao, do you need our help?"
Lu Hao asked.
"Mr. Lu, the Heart Talk Team’s mission is to handle Zombie Cockroaches and Zombie Rats, and we have no obligation to clear zombies,"
Qiao replied with a smile.
Lu Hao nodded and continued to sit in the car indifferently.
Except for the Space Element Ability User Morris, Qiao, and David, even Reese jumped out of the car along with the six people and started to fight the zombies outside.
Qiqi watched enviously from the car window at the people outside and the zombies pressing against the glass with their mouths wide open; she really wanted to go down and chop all those zombies.
"This is the first time I’ve been protected like this, and no kidding, Qiao really suits his outfit, such a gentleman,"
Lin Xiuyuan said.
Qiao was a Wind Element Ability User, able to attack zombies from a distance. His clean clothes hadn’t even been splattered with a single drop of dark blood, and his movements looked extremely stylish.
"Looks like Level Five Wind Element,"
Lu Hao remarked.
"The two sisters seem to be having a hard time,"
Su Jin noted, pointing outside.
Avril and Abby, both Metal Element Ability Users, were currently entangled by a large Power Element Mutated Zombie.
This Power Element Mutated Zombie seemed to be Level Six and had used Power enhancement. The sisters’ Metal Element attacks couldn’t easily hurt it.
Roar!
The Power Element Zombie roared, dodging the metal spikes’ attack and immediately lunging at the two sisters!
While the sisters were focused on the Power Element Mutated Zombie in front of them, two more zombies behind them lunged at the sisters!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two small flames pierced through the zombies’ heads; the cries behind suddenly stopped, and only then did Avril and Abby realize their perilous situation. However, the Power Element Zombie was too difficult to handle, and they dared not get distracted.
"Abby!"
Avril shouted.
Abby immediately understood; this was the understanding between the twins.
Abby ran to the left, and the Mutated Zombie was instantly attracted to her, turning and lunging toward her direction.
Meanwhile, Avril quickly climbed up the back of the Mutated Zombie, stepping on its shoulder, aiming to stab the metal spike straight into its head.
The Power Element Zombie raised its arms, trying to pull Avril off its shoulders. However, its arms were entangled with several iron wires by Abby!
Just as it struggled to break free from the iron wires, Avril on its shoulder viciously stabbed downward!
Splat!
Avril dodged the spurting dark blood, landing stably on the ground. The sisters looked at the fallen Power Element Mutated Zombie, cheering each other.
"Beautiful cooperation, wow, they’re amazing,"
Mao Qiqi clapped and shouted.
"Yes, not bad at all. These six people all seem very capable," freёwebnoѵel.com
Nie Qing also nodded in agreement.
Aside from the twins Avril and Abby, the other robust men also had their unique qualities. Although they were tall, their responsive abilities and speed were good, and their Special Abilities seemed to be around Level Five.
"This Russell is quite interesting,"
Su Jin said.
Lu Hao nodded, "I’m afraid he knows more about us than just what Wen Xiaoling has told him."
After all, Wen Xiaoling knew almost nothing about their strength, and yet Russell had sent several such men to follow them, which clearly wasn’t with the intent of sending them to their deaths.
While they were chatting, the nine people outside had already cleared the surrounding Zombies. The roads in Y country were rather narrow, so the recent Zombie roadblock was, in fact, only about seven or eight hundred Zombies.
"Was it you who helped us just now?"
Avril walked up to the Heart Talk Team and asked.
"It was just a handy effort,"
Lu Hao replied, managing some of the simple sentences.
Avril looked at Abby, then said to Lu Hao, "Thank you. To express our gratitude, we will protect you along the way."
"..."
Su Jin held back a laugh, glanced at Lu Hao, who was standing beside her, not knowing what to say, and suddenly found the two sisters very amusing.
After Avril and Abby had left, Su Jin leaned in and asked, "How does it feel to be protected by two girls?"
"Not bad,"
Lu Hao replied without a change in expression. He just wanted to say he hadn’t reacted fast enough to recall how he would say his intended sentence in a foreign language. It seemed he needed to read more foreign books!
...
The road to Tawa City seemed infrequently traveled as they encountered Zombies seven or eight times en route. A few of those were escapes driven by David.
Knowing he didn’t need to get out and fight the Zombies, Lin Xiuyuan leaned back in his seat, somewhat bored, and ended up falling asleep unintentionally.
Tim, sitting behind, sighed helplessly as he saw a member of the Heart Talk Team sleeping. He wondered why Elder Russell had sent him to protect these fools who were heading towards their deaths.
It wasn’t strange that Tim would think this; throughout the journey, the Heart Talk Team always calmly sat in the car and it was always them who fought the Zombie hordes. Now, his Special Ability had only half its strength left. By the time they arrived at Tawa City, it would likely be a death sentence.
Despite their reluctance, the infamous city of Tawa which frightened both men and beasts alike, had arrived.
"Tawa City, we’re here,"
David hit the brakes and took a deep breath as he spoke.
In front of a desolate expanse of low houses, aside from the occasional Zombies scraping against the floor, there was only a gray haze left.
"This is the place I mentioned before, these low houses are all commodity trading streets and bars,"
Qiao said while looking through the car window at the ground outside.
"Oh no! Zombie Cockroaches! Those crawling back and forth on that Zombie, they are all Zombie Cockroaches!"
Abby exclaimed in disgust.
Lin Xiuyuan was also woken up by a punch from Huang Yunxiang and was now curiously watching the Zombie Cockroaches crawling around on the Zombies’ bodies and even in and out of the mouths of some broken Zombies...
"Wow, amazing, are they symbiotic?"
Lu Guanhai murmured.
Their car at that moment was completely sealed off with Metal Element Ability, supposedly without a single crack, which is a protective measure taken by all reinforced vehicles in Y country.
"Miss Su, should we... get out of the car?"
Even Qiao, usually composed, was a bit scared now. He had seen people being devoured by Zombie Cockroaches, a scene too horrific to bear.
"No need, just stay here,"
Su Jin replied.
