Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 256 - : Dawn Arrives

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Dawn Arrives

Dozens of iron spikes pierced the child zombie’s head, the roaring stopped, and the child zombie fell.

Success!

The sudden victory surprised Deng Shuwei, but the dizziness that followed nearly made her unable to stand.

“You’re wasting your Special Ability like this, soon you’ll have no ability left to use,” a short-haired woman nearby supported the staggering Deng Shuwei and said.

“Thank you.”

Deng Shuwei felt ashamed, the lecturer had clearly warned them about this, yet just now, she had failed to control herself and had focused solely on how to kill that zombie.

...

Sheng Jing nodded and, seeing that Deng Shuwei had steadied herself, continued chopping at zombies with her knife.

Ever since they had agreed to Liang Jiuhui’s terms, she and Kang Ning had been living in the shanty area, although Liang Jiuhui had offered to allocate housing to them, both she and Kang Ning had declined.

The group had personally encountered those who had set a trap for them initially, and those people were likely connected to Jia Kaiji of the villa area, so to avoid alarming them, they chose to stay in the shanty area.

Kang Ning activated her Earth Element Ability and smashed a male zombie’s head into pieces with rocks. Just as she was about to pick up the exposed Crystal Core, Sheng Jing suddenly pushed her from the right!

Kang Ning was about to express her shock but then saw a child zombie pouncing at the spot she had just been standing!

“Thank you!”

Kang Ning didn’t waste time talking and continued attacking the child zombie with her Ability.

Sheng Jing suspiciously looked at the hand she had pushed Kang Ning with; she had not seen the zombie initially but had felt a zombie’s presence from behind, which reflexively prompted her to push Kang Ning. It turned out, there indeed was a zombie emerging from that spot!

However, now was not the time for her to be distracted. Although she didn’t have a Special Ability, she was more than capable of dealing with these newly turned ordinary zombies.

Dealing with hundreds of zombies was actually not difficult, but it was currently a rainy night, and even though many tents had their lights on, people still couldn’t distinguish zombies from humans around them. Zombies relied only on taste and smell, so everyone, whether fighting or fleeing, was at a great disadvantage.

At that moment, a Fire Element Ability User gathered all available Fire Element Ability Users, increased the flames in their hands to the maximum, and yelled into the crowd, “Everyone, don’t panic, gather in the lit areas! Identify the zombies first!”

“Dachuan, will this work?”

A man next to the Fire Element Ability User asked.

“I don’t know, but we can’t just keep being passive, it’s too dangerous!” Hao Dachuan replied.

The method suggested by the Fire Element Ability User Hao Dachuan was effective; hearing his words, people quickly clustered together, and those at a distance, realizing what was happening, moved towards the crowd while simultaneously defending themselves.

Gradually, the crowd and the zombies had almost separated, but those standing at the front, the Fire Element Ability Users, now faced the greatest danger!

“Earth Element Ability Users! Collectively form earthen walls to protect the Fire Users!”

Kang Ning yelled backward, and she was the first to jump out of the crowd, starting to form earthen walls in front of the Fire Element Ability Users; other Earth Element Ability Users, seeing this, also joined in.

Meanwhile, the remaining Ability Users of other elements seemed to have been inspired and began attacking the approaching zombies!

Deng Shuwei could no longer tell if the moisture on her face was tears or rainwater. She wiped her face with her hand and continued to join the fight using her Metal Element Ability.

For a moment, the sounds of fierce fighting and howls rose and fell in the rainy night.

When Liang Jiuhui and Li Haochu arrived with their team, they were met with such a scene.

Although the fighting survivors looked ragged, they cooperated in an orderly manner, especially a few Fire Element Ability Users. They held flames in one hand to illuminate the dark night while continuously launching fireballs at the zombies with the other.

“All Guard Squad Members, hear my command! Prioritize the protection of the survivors!” Liang Jiuhui shouted loudly.

“Yes!”

Li Haochu, leading the Guard Squad Members who had just arrived, quickly joined the battle, following Liang Jiuhui’s orders. These temporarily assembled Guard Squad Members were all Special Ability Users.

The arrival of the Guard Squad Members gave the survivors a sigh of relief. Under the illumination of the Fire Element Ability Users’ flames, the remaining zombies didn’t take much time for the Guard Squad Members to deal with—they were quickly eliminated.

Deng Shuwei and a woman beside her supported each other and sat down on the ground, although they did not know each other, they both knew that they had just fought together.

Daylight began to break; dawn was arriving.

The Guard Squad Members were quickly cleaning up the shantytown site, and occasionally some zombies that had slipped through would suddenly emerge from the tents.

Sheng Jing stared blankly at the spots from which the zombies emerged; she knew ahead of time where the zombies would appear.

In her more than twenty years of life, she had never experienced anything like this, as if she possessed an ability to foresee danger.

She saw a Guard Squad Member trying to go behind a tent to move a zombie’s body on the ground, and she could also sense that there was a live zombie there!

“Be careful over there! There’s a zombie!”

These Guard Squad Members, who had battled zombies multiple times, immediately became alert upon hearing the warning. Sure enough, an elderly zombie roared from behind a tent!

The elderly zombie’s foot had been caught under a rope beneath the shed, and the nearby Ice Element Guard Squad Member, seeing this, quickly formed an Ice Spike and pierced the elderly zombie’s head.

Liang Jiuhui also noticed the situation here; he looked at Sheng Jing’s position and couldn’t help but wonder. That should have been her blind spot; how did she know there was a zombie there?

However, the most pressing issue was resolving the problems in the shantytown. The rest could wait to be asked later.

In the S city base, apart from here in the shantytown, zombies had also appeared in the villa and residential areas. However, those places were mainly inhabited by Special Ability Users, and there hadn’t been many casualties, so he just sent Xu Shi and Guan Hong with a few others over there.

He was somewhat surprised by the combat capabilities demonstrated in the shantytown.

After arranging things here, Liang Jiuhui went back. Although he did not speak much to the people present, the series of measures he had arranged made everyone deeply moved.

He had his subordinates tally a list of the Special Ability Users and ordinary people who had participated in tonight’s battle and gave each of them 100 points as a reward. He even arranged for separate shower rooms so that everyone who had gotten wet could take a warm bath…

It was attentiveness in every detail.
