Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 282 - : Another Team

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Another Team

The next morning, Su Jin and her group, originally planning to accept a task involving a Mutated Crystal Core before heading to the medicine market, were attracted by another high-reward task.

Looking at that task, which offered an extremely high reward, the task center buzzed with excitement.

The red task flashed continuously on the electronic screen, its contents were to find medicine at the Combined Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in S city, with a reward of 2000 points!

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

However, this time there were specific requirements for the task, due to its high danger level: the team must consist of more than five Special Ability users, including at least two Level Three Special Ability Users.

The teams, initially excited, felt deflated upon seeing this requirement. Finding a team with five Special Ability users was feasible, but where would they find Level Three Special Ability users?

“Su Jin, this task is practically tailor-made for us, isn’t it!” Liao Yifan exclaimed excitedly.

...

“Yes!”

Su Jin smiled. Since everyone agreed, they decided to take on the task.

The only regret was that the Combined Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the medicine market were in opposite directions, otherwise, if they had time after completing the task, they could also make a trip to the medicine market.

Apparently, one couldn’t have the best of both worlds.

But the reward for this task was enough to make them content.

The staff member at the task reception window was the same as the day before, and she looked surprised as she watched the young girl come to accept the task. She was actually taking this task!

However, this team had already surprised her enough the previous day.

Yesterday afternoon, when the Heart Talk Team came to the task center to submit their task, they even caused quite a stir at the task center.

It was unknown which Base Leader’s directive it was, but the team names and content of completed tasks from that day were displayed on the large screen after the completion of their tasks.

Yesterday, after their verification of Heart Talk Team’s fifty Mutated Crystal Cores, the screen that was originally filled with tasks suddenly flashed with large words: Congratulations Heart Talk Team on completing a red high-level task! Moreover, the words “Heart Talk Team” were noticeably displayed at the largest size.

Heart Talk Team?

This gentle-sounding team name made those present feel like it was the name of a girl group.

This unimposing team name had completed such a formidable task?

The people present were stunned, including Su Jin and her group. They really hadn’t expected that the casually chosen team name by Guo Yang would play such a significant role in the future—the source of everything was still that discarded signboard from the Heart Talk Convenience Store…

“Hello, this task has to be completed with another team, can you accept that?”

The staff member, already aware of this team’s formidable strength, didn’t dare to be negligent, so she asked patiently.

With another team?

“Which team is it?” Su Jin asked, frowning.

“Sorry, I cannot reveal that at the moment, once you accept the task, you can go to the meeting point to assemble,” the woman said apologetically; in fact, she didn’t know which other team it was, she was just instructed to say so.

“So there’s hidden plot, then. Shall we still take it?” Lin Xiuyuan’s comment left everyone exchanging glances.

The main issue was that they didn’t know what the other team was like. What if it was a team like the Baili Divine Team?

“Let’s take it, Xiao Jin,” Lu Hao said, smiling.

Seeing Lu Hao’s expression, Su Jin couldn’t help but wonder, had Lu Hao already guessed the other team?

However, she still trusted Lu Hao’s judgment, so she decisively accepted the task.

After the staff member mentioned the rendezvous point, Su Jin and her group left for the rendezvous point, which turned out to be the backyard of the housing management center?

Did it have to be so mysterious?

“Did you already guess it?” Su Jin asked Lu Hao suspiciously.

Lu Hao nodded and shared his thoughts with everyone.

The difficulty coefficient of this task had obviously exceeded that of a red-level task. When he first saw this task, he found it strange; the base wouldn’t issue a task that everyone was currently unable to complete, except for their team.

As soon as the staff member stated the requirements, he had guessed that there must be involvement from the base’s officials. The base was currently short on medical supplies. It was very likely to involve collecting medicines from a hospital. Moreover, since the personnel of the other team were kept confidential, it could be assured that this official team likely included high-ranking personnel from the base.

So that was it; everyone suddenly understood.

But the base officials could have collected the medicine themselves; why did they issue such a roundabout mission?

“I’m not entirely sure about the details, but I think it’s probably to deceive the public,” Lu Hao said.

Su Jin nodded. Lu Hao’s guess was probably not wrong, especially considering the incidents that had occurred before.

The group entered through the side door of the housing management center and walked through a corridor to reach the backyard.

There was only a minibus parked in the backyard, and its windows seemed to be tinted; they could not see inside.

However, what surprised Su Jin was that Xu Shi was standing at the door of the bus, waving at them.

“I know who it is now…” Su Jin said somewhat speechlessly.

“Yeah, it should be him,” Lu Hao laughed and said.

Sure enough, as they boarded the bus, they found the current base leader really was inside!

“Hi, I just knew it would be you guys,”

Liang Jiuhui greeted everyone with a smile.

Although Su Jin and Lu Hao were somewhat speechless, they still responded to his greeting. Liang Jiuhui had brought just five people with him, one of whom was a driver. The others were Xu Shi, Guan Hong, Sheng Jing, and a young man they did not recognize.

“Let me introduce him. This is Song Sibo, Xiao Song, a Space Element Ability User,” Xu Shi introduced to Su Jin and the others.

After introductions were exchanged, Su Jin asked the question that everyone had on their minds: “Officer Liang, why did you decide to personally undertake a mission today?”

What she wanted to ask was more about what drama he was up to today, but since there were so many people, she didn’t voice this thought.

“The base is short on medicines,” Liang Jiuhui sighed and said.

“The officer… actually goes out frequently, just that nobody knows,” Xu Shi explained. Previously, when there weren’t many issues in the base, Liang Jiuhui regularly went out with guard squad members to gather supplies, but no one in the base knew about it.

Liang Jiuhui nodded. As a base leader, he also needed to practice his abilities like other special ability users to improve; hence, he often took the opportunity to go out with guard squad members to collect supplies during less busy times at the base.

Today, he had issued this task at the base center because he had guessed that Su Jin’s team would be the ones to take it. First, he was certainly curious about the strength of Su Jin’s team, and second, today was the first time he was bringing Sheng Jing, a Mental Element Ability User, and naturally, he hoped Xiao Jin, the twin ponytailed little girl, could impart some knowledge.
