Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 650: The Home Before

Su Jin was tallying up the number of Crystal Cores their family had obtained from killing zombies over the past three days while they were outside.

Since the third day mainly involved collecting items, they had a total of over thirty-six thousand Crystal Cores, among which the number of Mutated Crystal Cores was quite considerable.

"So, selling stuff really is the most profitable way to earn Crystal Cores," she concluded.

Su Jin reached this conclusion.

"Without strength, having materials is also useless,"

Lu Hao said, smiling. Killing zombies was to increase the family’s strength and safety, which complemented selling materials.

"That’s a must, everyone is getting more and more powerful now,"

Su Jin said, looking back at her family who were teaching Nie Qing how to play badminton.

"This one with wings is called a badminton, so what’s this? An egg ball?"

Nie Qing, holding a yellow ping-pong ball, asked, as Su Xiangzhe and Lu Guanhai, who had just been teaching him badminton, simply started playing badminton with each other, leaving him out.

"This is called a ping pong ball. It should be played like this; it’s a sport we Huaxia people are best at,"

Lin Cheng created a ping-pong table out of Earth Element Ability and started playing against Huang Yunxiang face to face. Soon, the two also began enjoying the game immensely.

"..."

So why did they all like this kind of back-and-forth ball game?

Outside of the space, several Man-eating Flowers each had a live chicken or duck tied on them. The cries and smells of the chickens and ducks attracted numerous zombies nearby.

The family had come out with Su Jin to kill zombies at dawn, purely because Su Jin felt her Special Ability was too full and she needed to release some of it.

They appeared on the rooftop of a two-story flat, not knowing how many zombies the Man-eating Flowers had eaten, but it was clear there were still many zombies around.

Taking Nie Qing’s advice, Su Jin took out the Mysterious Fire Fan from the Space, allowing Lu Hao and Nie Qing to work together to eliminate a wave, while she also began attacking the zombies on a large scale with her Wood Element Ability.

Knowing that Su Jin could replenish their Special Abilities, the family didn’t skimp on using their abilities, hurling various abilities downward like money was no object.

Their target today was not only the seed market but also all the shops and malls in the Anfeng District. If they made full use of the resting time in the Space, they should be able to finish before nightfall.

Su Jin and Xiao Cui discovered the main body of the Mutated Plant perched above the seed market, which turned out to be a mutated Golden Pothos.

It didn’t have a plant crystal core, but its roots were parasitizing some human bodies that hadn’t rotted at all. The first thing the family saw was a woman sitting at the door.

If one didn’t notice the plant roots growing out of her body, the woman would appear to be just quietly sitting on a rattan chair asleep, but the family knew, she was no longer human, at most, just a container that could provide nutrients.

There were more than a dozen similar "humans" in the flower shop behind the woman, all appearing to be asleep. Seeing this scene, the family couldn’t help feeling a chill.

"They’re not human; my map doesn’t show any signs of them,"

Mao Qiqi whispered.

Su Jin nodded and started to slowly back away with her family. Just then, several thin roots suddenly emerged from behind those "humans," whipping straight towards the family!

Boom!

Lu Hao unapologetically hurled a fireball and, after retreating from the flower shop with everyone, he proceeded to burn down the store with special ability fire. Since this place was the root of the huge "Bird’s Nest" above, he decided to simply burn it down. freёnovelkiss.com

The vine branches crawling up the wall quickly shriveled and turned black, taking just about two minutes. The dark green "Bird’s Nest" perched above the seed market also turned into a pitch-black mass, appearing as if it had been rotting for a long time.

"It’s dead,"

Su Jin confirmed, feeling the faint dissipation of Wood Element Energy within her body through Xiao Cui as the mutated plant died, giving her the confidence in her declaration.

"The appearance of those people just now was too frightening,"

as they walked towards the entrance of the seed market, Lin Tianhui couldn’t help but say.

They looked like they were still alive specimens. If it weren’t for Qiqi saying they weren’t human anymore, she would have been worried they’d open their eyes at any moment.

"Golden Pothos is a type of Scindapsus, and before mutating, its sap was already poisonous. Once touched by its poisonous root sap, you can’t get away,"

Su Jin explained that those people must have been caught off-guard and became nourishment for that Golden Pothos without outsiders realizing it.

Fortunately for the family, there were still many viable seeds at the seed market, including various types of grains.

Actually, their grandmother, Li Xiuying, also used to save seeds from the grains they grew. There were still many seeds left from previous purchases, but the demand for seeds in the Space was too high, and the upgraded Spirit Field had also expanded significantly, so collecting seeds from outside was still a precaution.

There were several markets, large and small, in Anfeng District of H city. They decided not to go to the vegetable market, but they scoured the labor protection goods wholesale market and the clothing market.

"Ahead is the central watchtower, and behind it is our home,"

Lin Yunguo said excitedly.

"Grandpa, there are also zombies all around our home,"

Mao Qiqi said.

However, seeing Lin Yunguo’s eagerness to go, Lu Hao still planned to take the family for a visit. Mentioning his grandparents’ home, he too felt nostalgic, as he used to visit every weekend with Xiao Jin for a hearty meal.

The zombies in the residential area weren’t actually that numerous, and many were locked inside their homes. The family only cleared the zombies on the street, and for those locked inside houses, they couldn’t be bothered to go door-to-door to clear them.

After cleaning up the zombies in the alley, the family then headed towards their former home.

The front door of their home was wide open, and a few zombies suddenly rushed out from inside, all of whom were dealt with by Lu Hao and Su Xiangzhe, who stood at the forefront.

What left the family speechless was that someone had painted a giant turtle on their original bright red iron gate and written next to it: "Unscrupulous neighbor, fled in haste."

"Who on earth did this, what does it mean, are they sick?"

Huang Yunxiang cursed angrily. Had they offended someone? Was there any point in writing such things on people’s doors?

"It was the neighbor,"

Lu Hao immediately asserted.

The words were painted with a paintbrush, and not far away, there was a can of dried paint with a brush sticking out. He didn’t believe the timid Luo Hui and Su Xiangmei would carry half a can of paint over a long distance through danger just to write a few words.

"It was Mao Dan from behind,"

Lin Cheng said, recognizing the half can of paint. In the past, that family often borrowed Lin Yunguo’s tricycle to haul things but always forgot to return it. He had seen this paint can several times behind their front door when he went to help Lin Yunguo bring it back.
