Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 319: Three Hundred and Nineteen: Being Followed
Chapter 319 -Three Hundred and Nineteen: Being Followed
After a zombie tide, the streets of S City didn’t see a decrease in the number of zombies, on the contrary, it seemed as if there were even more zombies on the streets.
A family moved along the road, clearing zombies while also scouting ahead on their route. Fortunately, this medicinal market wasn’t located in the city center, but even so, Su Jin was somewhat worried that they might not be able to return to the base within the day.
“Xiao Jin, I’ve been thinking, since your Man-eating Flower can eat zombies to replenish your special ability, why don’t you plant some along the roadside and let them eat the zombies there? Wouldn’t that be better?”
Lu Guanhai suddenly remembered this question while in the car. If Xiao Jin’s Man-eating Flowers could be planted everywhere, wouldn’t the eradication of zombies be just around the corner?
Su Jin smiled and shook her head. She had thought about this issue as well. The thing was, she had a certain range of control over Xiao Cui. If she moved too far away, she would lose the connection with that Man-eating Flower, and the flower itself would revert to a normal Man-eating Flower and stop consuming zombies.
During the base zombie tide incident, it was only because she remained within the perceptible range from the Man-eating Flower. Any further, and it probably wouldn’t work, something she had tried out in her previous life.
...
That made sense, Lu Guanhai understood. He wondered why it had seemed too good to be true, but his daughter-in-law’s special ability was already heaven-defying.
After turning a few more corners, Su Jin noticed Mao Qiqi seemed to be frowning continuously, as if puzzled by something.
“Sister Xiao Jin, I felt something was off just now. It seems like three cars have been following us,” Mao Qiqi said.
When they had left the base that morning, it wasn’t just their team that went out, many teams went out to execute tasks, so she didn’t pay much attention to the cars behind them at first.
It wasn’t until she gradually noticed that they had stopped twice to kill zombies, and after turning so many corners, those three cars were still maintaining a certain distance behind them.
“Could it be someone we know?”
Mao Zhihang guessed, as they had previously encountered Anna and her group following them.
“I don’t think so,”
Lu Hao frowned and said. He didn’t feel they knew anyone who would keep following them like this.
Unless…
Between friends and foes, he felt more inclined to believe they were enemies.
Su Jin thought the same. Although they weren’t afraid of being followed, if those people were to follow them to the medicinal market, that would be problematic.
After discussing the current situation with Lin Xiuyuan in the car behind, both cars decided to find a place to finish off the zombies and wait for them. Since they were being followed, there was definitely a motive, and she didn’t believe those people would never reveal themselves.
“Everyone, be careful when clearing the zombies. Qiqi, keep an eye on those people’s movements,”
Su Jin said and then disconnected the walkie-talkie. Mao Qiqi began looking for suitable places to clear the zombies.
Eventually, the team stopped in a square.
Just as Lin Xiuyuan and others got out of the car, a Fire Element Mutated Zombie hurled a Fireball at them. Huang Yunxiang extinguished it with a Water Ball and immediately went on the offensive against the Level Three Fire Element Zombie.
“Mom’s really impressive now,”
Lin Xiuyuan felt that Huang Yunxiang was becoming more and more of a mature beauty. In the past, Su Xiangmei had always been critical of Huang Yunxiang for being an unsophisticated country girl, but now, dressed in a sharp black tracksuit complemented with a neat ponytail and confidence in her eyes, where was there any hint of a country girl?
Even Lin Cheng couldn’t help but give Huang Yunxiang a thumbs-up, thinking his wife was like the female knights from the ancient costume films he used to watch.
“What are you standing around for? Fight!”
Huang Yunxiang’s roar brought the two back to reality.
Right, right, right, not only do they need to deal with the zombies, but they also have to wait for that group of people who are up to something unknown.
The family of three then joined forces to attack the zombies surrounding them.
Su Jin’s special ability remained potent, she didn’t summon the Man-eating Flower for two reasons: first, she didn’t know who was following her from behind, and secondly, these zombies weren’t worth the effort of calling Xiao Cui into action.
A Thunder Element Zombie rushed toward Su Jin, who was somewhat surprised; it was rare for them to encounter a Thunder Element Zombie. It seemed her father was about to receive a boon.
Dodging a huge Thunder Ball thrown by the Thunder Element Zombie, Su Jin quickly entangled the Level Three Thunder Element Zombie with vines, but it seemed the zombie was trying to use the vines to paralyze another Su Jin through the electric shock.
Su Jin timely cut off the vines around her, while the other end was still tightly binding the zombie.
She didn’t plan to use vines to attack the zombie anymore, after all, vines weren’t insulators against electricity.
An oval-shaped green leaf the size of a palm appeared in Su Jin’s hand; upon closer inspection, one would discover that the edge of the leaf was all sharp teeth. It was the first time her family had seen her use this leaf.
“A new move?” Lu Hao asked.
“Yeah, let’s give it a try,”
After answering with a smile, Su Jin’s gaze towards the Thunder Element Zombie became more fierce. With a wave of her hand, the green leaf flew towards the Thunder Element Zombie like a spinning blade!
Whoosh! Zzzt!
Half of the Thunder Element Zombie’s head was sheared off!
Powerful, impressive!

Mao Zhihang couldn’t help but heap praise on Su Jin; even Xiao Jin’s leaf seemed to have a higher attack power than his Metal Element abilities, which was truly a heart-stabbing realization.
But Su Jin didn’t revel in any pride, she was now a Level Six Wood Element ability user. If she couldn’t kill a Level Three Mutated Zombie within a few moves, it would be too weak.
Moreover, this flying leaf attack was something she had used in her past life, it just wasn’t as effective back then.
Su Jin continued to swiftly kill zombies with her special ability and asked Mao Qiqi, “Where are those people now?”
“They are at the corner of the second street diagonally opposite us,”
Mao Qiqi replied, and it seemed like those people wanted to keep hiding and didn’t dare to get too close.
Definitely suspicious.
At the street corner, three cars were parked one after another behind a building.
“Brother Tao, could we have already been discovered by them?”
A man asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
“So what if we have? We’re from the same base, just a coincidence,”
Tao Kuan said darkly, looking at the tranquilizer gun in his hand. It was a good piece of equipment, except what was loaded inside was not a sedative needle but the Zombie Virus instead.
No matter how formidable those people were, it was easy to dodge an obvious attack but hard to avoid a hidden one. He was just waiting for the right moment to catch them off guard.
Did they dare to embarrass him inside the base?
Was the Base Leader covering for them?
He was keen to see if they could still be so impressive after getting infected with the Zombie Virus!
“Rest easy, as long as you don’t confront them head-on, the Treasured Fan will surely be yours,”
A man in the driver’s seat turned around and said with a smile.
