Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 358 - Ice Wall

Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Ice Wall

As it turned out, whenever one wanted to smoothly accomplish something, there would inevitably be unexpected events.

The group finally understood why, though the map Cen Chu had shown earlier indicated that the base was not far away, he had said it would take about three to four hours.

And, looking at the road they were currently on, Su Jin felt that Cen Chu’s estimate of three to four hours was already quite conservative.

Every road leading back to the E city base was basically filled with zombies…

“It looks like no one has cleaned up the zombies here, you can’t even see a zombie corpse on the side of the road,”

Lin Xiuyuan said while recording.

When they used to go out on missions from S city, although there were zombies on the roads, there were also many zombie corpses on the sides of the roads, which clearly showed that people would regularly come out to clean up.

But now, almost all they could see outside the car windows were zombies, and they were all beginning to worry whether the mutated zombies outside might smash their vehicle.

“A little further ahead, and we will not be able to move,” Mao Qiqi said.

She had just noticed that the two vehicles in front were taking the route most crowded with zombies, and unfortunately, they could only follow.

The vehicles drove for a while longer, and indeed, the two vehicles ahead gradually slowed down, “It looks like they’re going to stop,” Su Jin said.

“Yes, let’s not separate later,”

Lu Hao also applied the brakes, preparing to maintain a certain distance from the vehicles ahead, to avoid any snatch for Crystal Cores later.

Zhuozhuo, worriedly looking at the vehicle behind them, saw that both rear-view mirrors of that vehicle had been knocked off by the zombies nearby. After the vehicle stopped, it was entirely surrounded by zombies, with mutated zombies attacking the vehicle with special abilities, but these were all blocked by the zombies clinging to the sides of the vehicle.

“Are those people all right?”

Zhuozhuo asked, her main concern being the handsome guy she had just seen.

“Before worrying about them, worry about ourselves first,”

Cen Chu stared unblinkingly at the horde of zombies outside, and as the vehicle stabilized, he was the first to dash out.

At that moment, Zhuozhuo’s eyes widened as she watched the vehicle behind them. A huge fireball suddenly burst from the roof of the vehicle, incinerating all the zombies on the roof into charred corpses, and a man agilely burst out from the rooftop.

However, she was soon disappointed when she saw a woman follow him out. Although the woman was agile in her movements, probably because she had no special ability, she only stood behind the man, using a knife to kill the zombies trying to climb up.

While the man was also using fire special ability to kill the zombies, his eyes never left the woman.

It turns out he was already taken, Zhuozhuo thought disappointedly, but if she could…

“Zhuozhuo, what are you spacing out for? Come down and help!”

Hao Anping urged from the side. The zombies here were simply too many; they had already fought a fierce battle that morning and their abilities hadn’t fully recovered yet, now they had to continue fighting, while Zhuozhuo was still infatuated with the vehicle behind, it was really maddening.

Although Cen Chu was also using Thunder Element Ability to kill the surrounding zombies, seeing the people in the vehicle behind, he was still filled with amazement.

Such strong fire element energy!

It was more than twice as powerful as Zhuozhuo’s fire element!

The three men in that vehicle obviously all had special abilities, and although the woman and the little girl lacked special abilities, they were also killing zombies with weapons on the side, not dragging their feet at all.

Su Jin and her group were already deliberately maintaining a distance from the troop ahead while killing zombies, but she still didn’t dare to use her special ability.

“We should hurry up and finish this mission and head back to S City,” Su Jin thought while chopping down zombies with her knife, “There are so many zombies here, it would be great if Xiao Cui could come out and have some.”

Sadly, that wasn’t going to happen.

“Hey, handsome! I’m here to help you!” Zhuozhuo shouted as she ran from the car.

“That stupid woman,” Cen Chu said through clenched teeth.

They were already struggling, and instead of helping, Zhuozhuo chose to assist some strangers. Did their camaraderie from fighting together for so many days mean nothing compared to a stranger they had never even spoken to?

“Lin Xiuyuan.”

Lu Hao looked behind at Lin Xiuyuan and then pointed at a woman running towards them.

He could see that the team ahead was not having an easy time. Although he didn’t know what the woman running towards them intended, accepting her help now would likely cause friction with the team ahead. If there were casualties, they might blame them, so the best course of action was to refuse.

Lin Xiuyuan immediately understood, although he didn’t know which handsome man the woman was calling out to, but…

Swish!

An ice wall two meters high appeared in front of Zhuozhuo, linking the shops on both sides of the street, splitting the road in two. She couldn’t even see the battle happening on the other side of the ice wall now.

“Gorgeous! Sorry, we don’t need help right now!”

Lin Xiuyuan shouted from their side of the ice wall.

“…”

The people in the team on the other side were also stunned by the ice wall that had suddenly appeared, but most of their disdain was directed at Zhuozhuo. The resentment they had felt towards the car behind them dissipated.

The driver, Xiao Deng, even began to laugh heartily.

Zhuozhuo’s face was extremely embarrassed; this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She was the only woman left in their team and a Level Three Fire Element, with which most men would treat her with a degree of deference. Yet, the people in that car had so openly disrespected her.

Zombies had already surrounded Zhuozhuo, and now she didn’t dare to argue with the other side anymore and had to focus on killing the zombies.

The ice wall, not being transparent, completely blocked any view between the two sides. Su Jin took the opportunity to use her Wood Element Ability, and in her view, the dozen zombies were knocked down with a single strike.

“See, wasn’t it right to bring me along?” Lin Xiuyuan said proudly.

“Absolutely, you can even double as a thief catcher,” Su Jin laughed.

Nie Qing also floated mid-air, allowing him not only to kill zombies but also to watch what was happening on the other side of the ice wall.

“Girl, feel free to use it; they don’t have the energy to watch us right now,” Nie Qing said.

“Thank you, Uncle Nie,” Su Jin said with a smile.

The truth was, the number of zombies on Su Jin’s side of the street, divided by Lin Xiuyuan’s ice wall, was no less than on the front because the back of the street connected to several other paths, and the zombies on these paths ran towards them after hearing the noises.

Mao Qiqi had used her Mental Element Ability to check the surroundings, and there were no other people around.

So, Su Jin went to the alleys on both sides, and at the corner of each alley, she placed a Man-eating Flower, which greatly relieved the pressure on them. Moreover, even if the ice wall were removed, the alleys remained blind spots for the others’ line of sight, so they wouldn’t immediately realize anything.

After the Man-eating Flowers appeared, they opened their blossoms and started devouring voraciously.
