Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 572 True Martial Sect

The storage of supplies utilized the storage bag Su Jin had specifically placed into space before leaving the base. The space within the storage bag was not small, and given she planned to take out the supplies to be purchased by the True Martial Sect in advance, she estimated it should last for about 10 days or so.

The family busied themselves that evening, checking various supplies. The pancakes and stewed meat prepared by Lin Yunguo quickly cooled down after being put into the storage bag, and seeing the kitchen was nearly emptied in an instant, Lin Yunguo decided not to go out this time; he wanted to cook more pancakes.

"Xiao Jin, can you directly lead us into the base without registering?"

Su Xiangzhe was still pondering the issue of registration, wondering if the sudden appearance of several people inside the base would arise suspicion.

"No, Dad, we didn’t register when we entered, and there’s no need for registration at this base,"

Su Jin and Lu Hao had already considered this issue. The management of F City base was very lax when it came to entry, and it seemed that the previous restrictions against the elderly and children were no longer in place. Lu Hao guessed this was probably done to attract more people with Mutated Crystal Nuclei.

Lin Xiuyuan, Su Xiangzhe, Lin Cheng, Huang Yunxiang, and Nie Qing were led out of the space by Su Jin just in time to see Mao Qiqi already out and about with Lian Jiyue, exploring the area.

The several people who had taken the Face-changing pill had completely unrecognizable appearances; they had the kind of faces that would not draw attention even if they were thrown in the middle of a busy street.

"Ah, my handsome face,"

Lin Xiuyuan lamented as he looked in the mirror. Then, seeing the utterly ordinary face in the reflection, he felt as if he had sacrificed too much.

"Don’t worry, Captain Lin, looks don’t matter in this world anymore,"

teased Su Jin.

Wu Xingye hadn’t anticipated that Su Jin and Lu Hao, who had arrived at True Martial Sect the day before yesterday, would come again, bringing along several people who appeared to be very loyal and honest.

Could it be...

"These people are..."

Wu Xingye looked at Lin Xiuyuan and the others in disbelief.

"Hello, hello, my name is Long Aotian, and these are my teammates,"

Lin Xiuyuan introduced himself.

"..."

Su Jin and Lu Hao were stunned on the spot. Long Aotian, what kind of ridiculous name was that?

Nie Qing suppressed a laugh; this was a name Lin Xiuyuan had come up with after much deliberation in the space, which is supposedly a name that could dominate the world and was commonly used by male protagonists in many TV series and novels.

Wu Xingye also paused for a moment before smiling, "Great name! Great name, it suits your temperament perfectly."

Lin Xiuyuan grinned, that’s right, even if he now had a completely ordinary face, his impressive temperament couldn’t be ignored!

"..."

Su Jin felt her eyes burning, really wanting to pretend she didn’t know this person.

"I, Mr. Wu, have been eagerly awaiting your arrival for some time, and have already cleared out a residence for you. I assume you’ve had a tiring journey. Let me first take you to see your accommodations,"

Wu Xingye didn’t head straight to the main topic, but Su Jin and Lu Hao were somewhat impressed. It seemed that after their departure, Wu Xingye not only believed their words but also took action.

Lin Xiuyuan and the others didn’t decline; they had nowhere to stay here, and it conveniently fit their story of having traveled the long distance from the S City base.

The accommodations Wu Xingye had arranged for Lin Xiuyuan and his group were likely the best in the two streets—a three-story western-style building that was spotlessly clean, with its furniture and decorations all in place, including tidy bed linens carefully made up in several bedrooms.

The family, who had held doubts before, now fully believed Su Jin and Lu Hao’s words; at least this man appeared to be reliable.

"Thank you so much. We just arrived at the base today and haven’t had time to find lodging yet. We heard that Mr. Wu also wants to purchase supplies. We have a price list here that you can refer to. You can make out a list and we can trade tonight,"

Su Xiangzhe said while handing a list over to Wu Xingye. The prices listed were the same as those they had sold for in A city and D city previously.

Wu Xingye was both shocked and delighted as he took the list. Upon seeing the top item, flour/rice: 30 Crystal Cores per pound, he almost lost his footing.

"May I ask about the Crystal Cores on this list... "

Could it be as he thought? Why isn’t the grade of the Crystal Cores specified?

"They are all priced in terms of Ordinary Crystal Cores. Of course, we can also trade Mutated Crystal Cores, and there’s a conversion table for Crystal Cores of every grade at the back,"

Lin Xiuyuan explained with a smile.

"Uncle Wu, we’ve brought the people over and will be leaving F city base early tomorrow morning. We hope to meet again,"

Lu Hao said as he walked up to an astonished Wu Xingye.

"You’re leaving so soon?"

At that moment, in his eyes, Lu Hao and Su Jin instantly became people of great importance. If not for them, how could he have encountered such an opportunity!

He just hadn’t expected that these two important figures would be leaving the base so soon.

"Uncle Wu, we have tasks to attend to. We’re also glad we could be of help to you,"

Su Jin added. She and Lu Hao didn’t plan to leave right away; they would at least wait for the True Martial Sect’s order list to be ready before departing.

However, forming this good relationship with the reliable Uncle Wu this time would make it more convenient for them to sell grain at the F city base in the future.

Although Wu Xingye wanted to retain Su Jin and Lu Hao for a few more days, seeing that they truly had other matters to attend to, he did not insist any further.

...

In the main courtyard of the True Martial Sect, Xiao Yu and a few other disciples were startled when they saw Wu Xingye, who looked unsteady and dazed, walking back.

"Teacher Wu, what’s wrong?"

Xiao Yu asked worriedly. Could it be that something had happened to Bu Hong and the others?

Spit, spit, spat, that can’t be right. It’s still morning, and Bu Hong has just taken people out to kill Zombies not long ago. So what is... with Teacher Wu?

"I’m fine... I want to be alone for a bit. Xiao Yu, could you also get me some paper and a pen?"

Wu Xingye said, clutching the price list that was damp with his sweat as he walked towards his room.

Xiao Yu agreed, although Wu Xingye appeared very strange, as long as he was all right that was what mattered.

With that thought, the disciples who were still practicing went back to their training, while Xiao Yu went to the side room to look for the paper and pen that Wu Xingye had requested.

Su Jin was not idle at the temporary residence of Lin Xiuyuan and the others either. Nie Qing set up a Stealth Formation in an empty room on the first floor, and Su Jin took out a roomful of supplies from her space and placed them within the formation.

This place could serve as a temporary warehouse. Adding the Stealth Formation would make the warehouse even more secure.

As for the small western-style building, the courtyard was spacious enough to serve as a site for selling supplies, while the upper floors could be a resting place for the family, ensuring both security and a clear view of the surroundings.

"I wonder how many Ordinary Crystal Cores that Wu Xingye and his people have,"

Lin Xiuyuan said excitedly as he stood on the third-floor balcony, looking out over the F city base they had never visited before. Should he take a walk around later?
