Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 66: Chapter Sixty-Six: The Man in Military Uniform

At this moment, the one with the most natural expression in the car was Su Jin. She had grown accustomed to such scenes; to her, these junior zombies were both foolish and clumsy, nothing to fear.

Sometimes, the things you can see aren’t necessarily scary, it’s the unseen that’s truly terrifying.

The family in the car had lost all desire to talk as the car’s body and the surrounding windows were now covered with bloodstains.

Lin Tianhui had already switched places with Su Xiangzhe. She had been sitting by the window when suddenly, a swollen zombie pressed against it, scaring her half to death.

Mao Zhihang held onto Mao Qiqi tightly; the scene outside on the street was too horrible to bear, too appalling to witness. No one noticed the serious look on Qiqi’s face as she stared outside, her small mouth slightly open as if she was seeing the world for the first time.

Nie Qing also looked outside with a grave expression. It wasn’t his first time venturing out, but at that moment, the street seemed like a dance of demons to him, filled with dark miasma everywhere—a sight invisible to the other occupants of the car.

Lu Guanhai in the back had also stopped chatting. He felt fortunate to still be with his son and the others. In the event of an apocalypse, who would you want to be with?

This question flashed through Lu Guanhai’s mind, though he couldn’t remember where he had seen it. His answer now had to be: with these people.

“Uncle, the road ahead is blocked by cars, be careful,” Lu Hao cautioned.

Lu Hao had been vigilant about the surroundings throughout the journey, driving slowly as the road was littered with crashed vehicles, some with zombies still strapped by seat belts, struggling to protrude outwards…

Lin Cheng saw the black sedan lying across the road and had no choice but to stop the minibus.

Su Jin and Lu Hao got out of the car to check if there was anyone inside the black sedan and why it was parked in the middle of the road.

However, they discovered that there was no one left inside the black sedan. It seemed the occupants had already escaped.

Su Jin, left with no choice, released her Wood Element Ability, shifting the black sedan that was blocking the road to the roadside.

This scene was caught by a man in military attire inside the adjacent building.

The man was tall with a sculpted face and prominent nose. Although his expression remained unchanged, the slight parting of his lips betrayed his inner surprise.

He looked at his right hand with a puzzled expression, the hand still retaining the strange sensation from the recent fight.

Recalling the moment of danger he had encountered, his hand had produced a small, pale gold spike resembling a dagger. It was with this spike that he had pierced the zombie’s skull, narrowly escaping death. His few team members, however, had all fallen victim to the horde of zombies.

Observing the green vine controlled by the woman in white through the window, lifting a car into the air, the man momentarily paused. Did she have it too?

The banging from outside the door started again. The man let out a wry smile, abandoning the thought of going out to inquire about the woman in white. His gaze hardened once more, ice-cold and sharp. It seemed that whether or not he could make it out alive today depended on this peculiar power in his hand.

Lu Hao had stayed close to Su Jin while she used her special ability to move the sedan, guarding against any sudden appearance of zombies.

Just now, he felt as though they were being watched, but the sensation disappeared quickly. After clearing the road, they returned to the car and signaled Lin Cheng to continue forward.

Lin Cheng nodded and started the minibus, driving onwards.

In fact, their minibus was quite conspicuous on the deserted street. In the first few days of the apocalypse, there were many survivors in the surrounding buildings, watching in disbelief as a bloody minibus drove by, wondering who would dare to exit their vehicle?

But that woman was impressive, seemingly possessing a special ability, which explained why she dared to venture out at such a time.

They wanted to call out for help, to join the minibus and leave this damned place, but the thought of the zombies at the door made them only able to watch enviously from behind closed doors. Although the minibus looked filthy, they wouldn’t mind if it meant escaping together.

Su Jin was aware that they might be seen, but using her ability at that moment wasn’t dangerous anymore because a number of people had already begun to awaken their special abilities. Even if people were shocked to see them now, they would come to understand in a few days that what they had witnessed were indeed Special Ability Users.

So, Su Jin didn’t care about the various gazes cast their way. Their outing wasn’t just to pick someone up; they had another important task: to gather gasoline.

Having always lived in H city, they naturally knew the location of gas stations, and it just so happened that their route coincided with Yin Chengtian’s location. Therefore, they planned to first check out the nearby gas station.

From a distance, they could see their target gas station, topped with the red lettering “Hua Country Petrochemical”. The family used to refuel there often, so they were quite familiar with the layout inside.
