Chapter 65: A Unique Family
After making the decision, Su Jin and Lu Hao planned to personally go and pick up Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin, fearing it was too dangerous for the two of them to come here alone without a vehicle.
When Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin heard that their leader was coming to pick them up, they were so moved that they hugged each other and cried.
Wuu wuu wuu, the boss is really too good, just like their reborn parents.
It was getting late, and Lu Hao and Su Jin decided to leave now, striving to return before dark. Before leaving, Su Jin initially wanted her whole family to enter the Space, but they all disagreed.
“Su Jin, I want to go with you,” Lin Xiuyuan said.
“Yeah, Xiao Jin, we all want to go out and see the situation outside and get used to it sooner,” Mao Zhihang also stepped forward and said.
After some training, they had all gotten their hands dirty with zombie blood and were filled with curiosity about what lay outside, with not a single one willing to enter the Space.
Su Jin smiled; her family was even more incredible than she had imagined.
This was also good, taking the family with her would give her more peace of mind, and it would also allow them to become familiar with the apocalypse sooner.
After speaking with their grandparents in the Space, the grandparents told them not to worry, particularly emphasizing that they should take good care of themselves.
Lin Yunguo calculated the time; he and his wife would stay in the Space for about 2 days, during which no one would eat the food he cooked, and he felt quite desolate.
However, after Su Jin mentioned that Xiao Hao’s friend would also be coming, he could prepare some easily portable food to store in the Space, and then he went to the kitchen in the Space with renewed zeal to cook.
During her recent visits to the Space, Su Jin noticed that the gray fog over the distant creek seemed to have gotten closer.
She also asked Nie Qing, who told her not to worry too much, as this was only due to a decrease in Spatial Spirit Force. Now that they had a source of Spiritual Power supply, they just needed to collect more Beast Cores. If necessary, they could use Crystal Cores instead, as the Spiritual Power contained in Crystal Cores was purer.
So, regarding Crystal Cores and Beast Cores, while they were still unknown in the early days of the apocalypse, it was necessary to speed up their collection.
After discussing this with her family, everyone agreed, and so the whole family once again set out in a grand manner.
The neighbors, witnessing this scene, were even more astonished. It was one thing for the family to go out for meals or trips together before, but now, with the situation outside, were they planning to go out and watch zombies?
Such a strange family!
At the alley entrance, Su Jin found a secluded corner and took out a minibus from the Space, which could seat about 16 people including the driver. They planned to drive just this one vehicle to avoid getting separated.
The family happily sat in the minibus, with Nie Qing even taking the foremost seat, feeling it offered the best view.
Lu Guanhai then sat in the single seat behind Nie Qing, chatting with him.
“Old Mao, we agreed, you drive when we come back, don’t let me be the only driver,” Lin Cheng said as he started the car.
He also wanted to see what the apocalypse was like with his family, but everyone unanimously voted for him to be the driver because he had the best driving skills.
“Got it, got it!”
Mao Zhihang’s reply was perfunctory, after which he just held Mao Qiqi seriously while looking out the window, still chatting with Lin Tianzhen sitting beside him: “Do you think there are many zombies on the main streets right now?”
“I don’t know dear, I’m pretty nervous too, not knowing what it has turned into,” Lin Tianzhen said, her eyes filled with anticipation.
“Exactly, I want to see too, I wonder if what they show in the movies is real,” Lin Tianhui chimed in from behind.
“You all make it sound so nice, just don’t blame me if you get scared later,” Su Xiangzhe said.
Sitting by the door, Su Jin and Lu Hao: Could you please be serious?
With everyone’s nervousness and anticipation, the car slowly started, and Lin Cheng, who had been joking with the family just moments ago, became speechless as he focused on the road ahead; when the car turned onto the street, he couldn’t say a word.
All that met their eyes was the shocking red everywhere—on the ground, the shop windows by the roadside, on the walls, cars, and utility poles, all covered with brownish bloodstains, and the street was desolate with smoke billowing everywhere.
He, along with Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan, had previously made it to the street corner, but because of Lin Xiuyuan’s loud shout, they ran back immediately, so he hadn’t clearly seen what the street looked like.
And now, on the quiet street where no one was left, a sad and gloomy air gradually enveloped everyone’s heart.
Is this, then, the apocalypse?
The zombies lurking in the corners, upon hearing the noise of the car, all slowly started moving towards it.
“Bang”—Lin Cheng clenched his teeth; he had lost count of how many zombies he had hit head-on. He pressed the windshield wiper again to wipe off the red and white fluid from the windshield.
