Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 322

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: The Medicinal Herb Market
 

Su Jin collected all the weapons containing poisonous needles from the ground and then followed her family away from the place.

On a small road, a brown sedan was driving slowly.

“Damn!”

Huo Qi couldn’t help but curse aloud.

Was something wrong with Base S City, why did their plans never succeed?

Previously, Jia Kaiji’s plan hadn’t succeeded. He had intended to take away the Invisibility Ability User Xia Ying and had even turned several bystanders into zombies to help Xia Ying escape, but Xia Ying had vanished without a trace with a bitten person. These incidents had already frustrated him enough.

He had thought that today outside the base, he could use the Red Flame Team to take away the Wood Element Ability User and that fan.

But who would have thought that the Red Flame Team was so weak, they were completely annihilated by the opposition in less than ten minutes.

This time returning was probably not going to be smooth, but…

He took out a black cellphone, which was displaying several mutated plants devouring zombies, along with fire rapidly spreading everywhere.

Turning it in should be enough.

He believed the higher-ups would be very interested.

Huo Qi then put the cellphone away and drove towards City E.

————————————————

Su Jin and her group finally arrived at the herbal market without any mishaps.

Upon reaching the herbal market, Su Jin almost thought that they had come to the Antique City that she and Lu Hao had visited before.

After all, the architectural style and layout here were a bit too ancient-looking. At the center of the main entrance square, aside from the antique buildings around, there was also a statue of a person in ancient clothing standing in the middle.

“That must be the divine doctor Hua Tuo,”

Mao Zhihang said, looking at the statue. However, it was unknown what type of medicinal herb Hua Tuo was holding in his hand.

Seeing the small zombies filling the central square, Su Jin couldn’t help but sigh; it seemed they weren’t returning to the base today.

The reason was simple, next to the herbal market was a middle school, and at this moment, the central square was filled with student zombies wearing uniforms. Although their clothes were so tattered that they were almost unrecognizable, they were definitely school uniforms.

The voice of Lin Xiuyuan came from the walkie-talkie: “I guess it might not be that the students turned into zombies while attending evening self-study at school!”

Imagining such a scene, Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but shudder, after all, he too had attended many years of evening self-study.

“Possibly, let’s deal with this situation first,”

Su Jin said.

“All right, I’ll stop steadily first,”

Ignoring the crowded zombies outside, old driver Su Xiangzhe aligned the car correctly. He stated that even if he had to park among a pile of zombies, he couldn’t park the car askew as it would be visually disturbing.

Lin Cheng parked his car next to Su Xiangzhe showing that keeping formation was important.

Although they didn’t know why these student zombies had gathered here, the group didn’t dwell on it, and after a burst of water arrows accompanied by thunder, they paralyzed all the surrounding zombies before the people from the two vehicles got down together.

Lin Cheng had been feeling like he wanted to advance these past few days, but he always felt he was just a little short, so now he also went full throttle using his special ability to kill zombies.

Although the lone Earth Spike attack was weak, Lin Cheng had learned to condense a layer of hard rock around the Earth Spike, which greatly increased the attack power. Coupled with the Earth Element’s strong defense ability, almost no zombie could touch Lin Cheng, and he could still spare the effort to help Lin Tianzhen and Huang Yunxiang with their defense.

Now, with Lin Cheng able to erect earth walls for defense at any time, Su Jin and Lu Hao no longer had to pay special attention to everyone’s safety. Moreover, with the family’s level of strength increasing, even Lu Guanhai could now easily kill a Level Three Metal Element Mutated Zombie.

Su Jin noticed that, in addition to the zombies they had killed, there were many other zombie bodies here.

A foreboding feeling surged up. Had the herbal market already been scavenged by someone?

The others gradually realized this problem too, but since they were already here, there was certainly no reason to leave just now.

“It’s okay, Xiao Jin, if we can’t find anything, we’ll just treat it as coming here on a mission.”

Lu Hao consoled, as they had accepted a 300-point mission before leaving today. Even if this place had already been picked clean by others, they wouldn’t return without any gains.

“Hmm, I know,”

Su Jin replied. After all, she thought, the herbal market wasn’t far from the base. Liang Jiuhui’s collection team also almost never stopped, and it’s impossible that there were no other survivors in S city, so it being scavenged is quite normal.

The noise at the entrance of the herbal market attracted all the surrounding zombies.

A Thunder Ball suddenly smashed toward Lu Hao. As Lu Hao swung at a Power Element Zombie, he dodged to one side. The Thunder Ball grazed Lu Hao’s shoulder and hit a Level Three Metal Element Mutated Zombie behind him, which was instantly turned into charcoal by the Thunder Ball and fell straight back!

This was a Level Five Thunder Element Zombie!

Su Xiangzhe knew he was no match for that Thunder Element Zombie. Although he didn’t rashly approach it, he kept an eye on the Thunder Element Zombie’s attack methods while killing zombies. It must be said, some mutated zombies’ attack methods were indeed worth noting.

When facing a huge Fireball thrown by Lu Hao, the Thunder Element Mutated Zombie used its Thunder and Lightning Ability to control two zombies nearby and pulled them in front of itself to block the Fireball!

However, because Lu Hao’s Fireball not only had a burning effect but also a powerful impact, it charred the two zombies in front and still knocked the Thunder Element Zombie two meters away underneath a Hua Tuo statue!

Su Xiangzhe was surprised—did that zombie actually find a meat shield to block the attack?

The Thunder Element Zombie quickly got up, one of its hands charged with electricity, and it reached for Lu Hao’s head!

Lu Hao had already sheathed his Tang Sword. Facing this Thunder Element Zombie, it seemed he could only use his Special Ability.

“I’m here around, go ahead and fight,”

Su Jin told Lu Hao. Although she did not intend to interfere with Lu Hao’s fight, the zombies were too many, and to avoid other zombies suddenly attacking Lu Hao, Su Jin was continuously resolving the onslaught of zombies not far from Lu Hao.

Lu Hao nodded, his gaze sharply fixed on the Thunder Element Zombie.

At that moment, a Thunder Snake rapidly slithered from under the feet of that zombie toward Lu Hao!

Knowing that this Thunder Snake was continually controlled by the zombie, Lu Hao didn’t dodge, and a larger Fire Snake appeared, moving at a higher speed toward the Thunder Snake!

Bang!

The collision of thunder and fire sent the surrounding zombies flying in all directions, causing the entire family to look over.

The Fire Snake clearly had the upper hand, and after colliding with the Thunder Snake, it devoured it and continued directly toward the Thunder Element Zombie.
