Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 718 Ouk City

"You mentioned before that there are still people living in Ouk City?"

Lu Hao asked Qiao, if there were indeed still people, they would probably need to evacuate them first before using the mutated moss.

"There are about 35 people, all from fallen small families, who are unwilling to submit to the rule of the Nickle Family,"

Qiao explained helplessly.

Reese also sneered, "They are all stubborn, in an era where future generations cannot reproduce, and they still talk about staying for their family’s legacy."

"Reese, don’t speak of them like that, a family’s legacy is very important,"

Qiao interjected.

A family had also heard from Lian Jiyue that though Country Y was small, it was profoundly attuned to family values. The concept of a family’s legacy encompassed various aspects, such as people, architecture, culture, and even some families had legacies of treasures.

There were many folktales about these treasures, including a mirror that could see through objects when placed before the eyes, a pocket watch that could manipulate time when worn, and boots that allowed the wearer to travel thousands of miles in a day...

However, these were all just legends; in reality, no one had ever seen such treasures. Mostly, they were simply the gold and silver left behind by wealthy families.

So it was unclear why those people still chose to stay in such a dangerous place.

"Don’t worry, we know where those people are. Once we arrive, we will evacuate them immediately,"

Qiao said.

"Are you going to use the Nickle Summon Order?"

Morris asked; he still had a lot of them in his Space.

Qiao nodded. Those people were scattered throughout Ouk City, and using the Summon Order would be most convenient.

"Then we’ll leave it to you,"

Lu Hao responded. Although he didn’t know what the Nickle Summon Order was, as long as someone was coordinating to evacuate the survivors, that was enough.

The journey to Ouk City took less than an hour.

Su Jin could see from a distance a European-style stone marker inscribed with ’Ouk City’ in foreign letters. She quietly asked Qiqi beside her, "Is that Ouk City ahead? Can you sense what’s inside?"

Qiqi nodded and looked ahead, then frowned and shook her head.

There was no one inside.

Not a single person.

Su Jin was also shocked. She knew that Qiqi’s mini-map couldn’t fail to detect the presence of living people, but did Qiqi mean there was no one inside?

Had they all died?

However, these few people from Country Y did not know that Morris had already taken a few items out of his Space and handed them to Qiao.

The so-called Summon Order was nothing more than a few colored smoke flares. When the smoke rose high, it automatically displayed a few letters of the Nickle Family. Normally, when the people of Country Y saw or even heard the special sound, they would immediately understand and head to the location signaled by the smoke flares.

Ouk City did not look much better than Dead City Tawar City. The corpses of zombies piled up along the roadsides. As the vehicle slowly made its way, the outside quickly became surrounded by a layer of zombies, and amongst those zombies, the presence of Zombie Cockroaches could be seen.

"Qiao, I feel like this place is a bit different from when we came here before,"

Abby said. Previously, they had come to Ouk City with others to persuade the city’s survivors to move to Country Y’s main base, but that had been several months ago.

The apocalypse brought a bizarre global snowstorm, and even Country Y, which had never experienced winter, faced its first severe snowstorm in history. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Since then, the roads became difficult to travel, and with the added dangers outside, along with the strong insistence of the survivors in Ouk City, the Nickle Family had completely avoided coming here.

Previously, when they had visited, there had been far more zombies here than now, but there hadn’t been the same sense of death.

A foreboding feeling arose within them all.

Once Lu Hao had cleared all the zombies around the car, Reese moved to a spot in the middle of the vehicle where there was a small hole reserved with a little door that could open and close, specifically designed for placing the Summon Order.

The family felt somewhat sentimental; the people of this country had really thought of everything, big and small, when it came to preventing Zombie Cockroaches.

A Summon Order was fired off, and Lin Xiuyuan and Mao Qiqi curiously looked upward, but due to their position, they could only see part of it through the glass and the roof.

After a sound resembling firecrackers exploded, colorful smoke formed letters in the sky, although the two couldn’t understand what it was, they assumed it must be the Nickle Family emblem that Morris had mentioned before.

Ten minutes passed, and there was still no sign of anyone at the entrance to Ouk City, Su Jin had already concluded that the people inside must have indeed died.

"Qiao, how long has it been since you were here last?"

Su Jin asked the frowning Qiao.

"Not since the blizzard."

Qiao answered truthfully.

"I think there’s no one left inside,"

Su Jin fell silent for a while before saying so.

"They are quite professional in preventing Zombie Cockroaches, I want to wait a bit longer, Reese, fire another one,"

Qiao said. Although he felt that Su Jin might be right, he still didn’t want to give up. What if those people just hadn’t noticed the Summon Order?

Reese nodded, took another Summon Order from Morris’ hands, and fired it.

"Qiao, I think Miss Su is right,"

David muttered as he observed the far-off terrifying scene.

Before the Apocalypse, Ouk City had been quite a livable city with a very advanced drainage system such as sewers, but what David now saw was a mass of black stuff suddenly pushing up a sewer manhole cover in the distance, followed by countless Zombie Cockroaches swarming out and heading towards their minibus!

"It’s Zombie Cockroaches! Why are there so many here?"

Abby said in disbelief.

Several months had passed, and it was likely that this place had already become Dead City!

Everyone in the vehicle had seen the situation outside, and it wasn’t just from that sewer manhole cover; Zombie Cockroaches were also continuously crawling out of the crevices between the roadway’s stones!

"Xiao Jin, is there enough time?"

Huang Yunxiang asked, wondering why Ouk City felt even worse than Tawa City.

"There’s enough time,"

Su Jin had already taken out the Mutated Moss, and she nodded at Lu Hao, who quickly opened a crack in the window. Vines sprouted through the gap before Lu Hao promptly closed the window.

"Qiao, it’s quite clear that there is no one left in the city,"

Lu Hao stated.

"I know, please proceed as we did before, Miss Su,"

Qiao sighed, resigned to the fact that another city had been wiped out by Zombie Cockroaches.
