Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 312: Three Hundred Twelve: Public Execution
Chapter 312 -Three Hundred Twelve: Public Execution
Outside the S City base, the zombie tide had been completely eradicated, and the guard squad members along with the staff were busy handling and destroying the scattered zombie corpses on the ground.
Lin Cheng walked back from outside alone, and the necessary procedures of registration and waiting at the entrance were unavoidable. He patiently stood aside and watched the guard squad members inspecting each zombie corpse, or more accurately, searching for Crystal Cores.
“Uncle Lin? I thought you just drove out, didn’t you?”
Liang Jiuqing, seeing Lin Cheng leaning to the side, asked in surprise.
She remembered that just a moment ago Lin Cheng had driven out of the base alone; they had even chatted for a bit and indeed, there was no one else in the car but him.
“I wanted to take a drive, but the car broke down halfway, so I walked back alone,”
...
Lin Cheng said with a cheerful smile, feeling quite good about himself as if he had accomplished something significant.
“Oh, I see. Well, you wait here for a bit longer, I have to go get busy,”
Liang Jiuqing, seeing someone calling her from not too far, didn’t continue chatting with Lin Cheng.
As she walked, Liang Jiuqing couldn’t help but wonder, could such a new car also break down?
However, she soon reasoned that perhaps Uncle Lin might have encountered some fierce zombies while on his drive.
His family in the villa had been waiting for Lin Cheng to return, and it was only when they heard he had safely sent people off that they were relieved.
Xia Mufei’s rescue had been successful, half thanks to his own resistance; he had been bitten by a zombie but didn’t turn immediately, though there was still a chance he could mutate after death. However, Su Jin and Lin Tianhui had firmly pulled him back from the brink of death.
It took almost an entire night for the two of them to save Xia Mufei, and Xia Ying, who did what she promised, immediately wanted to take Xia Mufei and leave the base. But because the base’s zombie tide wasn’t fully cleared until the next evening, they couldn’t leave the gate and thus stayed in the basement for a day.

Su Jin also explained to Xia Ying that the anti-inflammatory they used on Xia Mufei and previously in the water for the base’s injured was the same. However, this anti-inflammatory was obtained by chance, was limited in quantity, and could only act as a supplement.
Xia Ying expressed understanding, considering that during the zombie tide, indeed, there were many who drank that water but had not been saved.
Guo Yang and others also learned about Xia Ying and Xia Mufei’s situation the next day, but they thought that Xia Mufei had just been slightly scratched, similar to Chen Hai and others who hadn’t mutated before, and were lucky enough to survive.
Xia Ying also firmly did not mention this matter, as he always kept his promises.
During this period, Xia Mufei just slept, but his gradually rosy complexion showed signs of improvement.
Su Jin used her Wood element ability to adjust his body again before she felt reassured.
If it hadn’t been Xia Mufei, she would definitely not have gone to rescue him—only because in her previous life, Xia Mufei had been devoured by zombies while trying to save her. That’s why she decisively decided to save him when she saw Xia Mufei severely injured and unconscious.
According to Nie Qing, the karma between her and Xia Mufei had thus been settled…
Only after the zombies outside the base were completely dealt with did Xia Ying prepare to leave the base with the still-sleeping Xia Mufei. Before leaving, Su Jin gave them an SUV from the garage.
Otherwise, in the apocalypse, taking with him Xia Mufei, who they had barely managed to save, would be extremely unsafe.
“Thank you all,”
Xia Ying said sincerely.
Lin Tianzhen felt that Xia Ying had changed into a completely different person, indescribable in how he differed from before, but since he had been willing to trade his life for Xia Mufei’s, they felt confident letting him take Xia Mufei away.
Moreover, Xia Ying’s Invisibility Ability had now reached Level Three. Since he had advanced to Level Three, he could make any object he touched invisible. Therefore, whether he was carrying Xia Mufei on his back or driving out of the base gate, both were invisible.
With such a Special Ability User by their side, the two of them shouldn’t encounter much danger.
Lin Cheng had even packed the car’s trunk with lots of food, including two bottles of anti-inflammatory medication. Huang Yunxiang even joked about it, saying that he really treated Xia Mufei like a long-lost relative’s child.
Lin Cheng did not deny it; he felt that he had indeed treated Xia Mufei like a junior in the family, not knowing if they would ever meet again.
“Ah, but Shao Zian’s father is quite a ruthless man,”
Liao Yifan said, resting his chin on his hands.
She had heard about the incidents involving Xia Ying and Xia Mufei and expressed immense sympathy for them. It was fortunate that Xia Mufei had survived; otherwise, she believed Xia Ying would never have gotten over it.
“Yes, I’ve only seen this kind of plot in movies,”
Xue Wanyi said, expressing his disbelief. The dead controlling the living was simply too horrifying.
“Regardless, Liang Jiuhui did resolve the matter with the Invisibility Ability User, so no need to worry about Liang Wei anymore,”
Su Jin said, feeling a bit sorry about Xia Ying’s lost Invisibility Ability, which she thought was rather useful.
“What’s there to feel sorry about? We have Invisibility Ability too!”
Lin Xiuyuan pointed out, gesturing towards Local Tyrant Gold, who was hopping around.
Yes, if Local Tyrant Gold’s Invisibility Ability could be upgraded, then as long as they brought Local Tyrant Gold with them, couldn’t they all be assimilated into the invisible state too?!
Local Tyrant Gold felt the eyes of everyone suddenly shining brightly at it, and it was so frightened that it hid in its little nest.
“It looks like we’ll need to intensify Local Tyrant Gold’s training from now on,”
Lu Hao said, sealing Local Tyrant Gold’s “tragic fate.” Training such a little monkey hardly seemed in its nature!
“But when will Liang Jiuhui fulfill his promise?”
Su Jin was still thinking about her Crystal Core, one-third of it; she didn’t know how many there would be, but she was eagerly anticipating it!
“Before that, he probably still has things to do,” Lu Hao said with a smile.
When they met Liang Jiuhui today, they saw that Sheng Jing behind him had taken off the veil on his face, and considering what happened the night before, Lu Hao guessed that the things Liang Jiuhui had mentioned before were almost resolved.
Perhaps there was still a good show to watch.
That day, the Survivors in the base were notified that the public execution of Jia Kaiji would take place in the hall where lectures had been held previously.
Subsequently, rewards for those who had participated in resisting the Zombie Tide would be announced.
Immediately at the news, the base exploded into chaos.
Who was Jia Kaiji?
Most people had never heard the name, but those who had lived in slum areas knew him; wasn’t Jia Kaiji the good Samaritan who had provided them with porridge?
Why would the base publicly execute him?
