Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 826: Koi Girl?

After the exploration of the Guard Squad Members up ahead, the cars of the members from various training teams were parked at a spacious and deserted crossroad. There were also several alleys connected to the crossroad; the location was at some distance from the downtown area, but there were already quite a few zombies.

Parking here had the advantage of being able to position the training members spread out on each road, with the weaker combatants of the Speed Element at the very center, while the Water Element training team was assigned to the road farthest from everyone.

It wasn’t that the Water Element training members were unpopular; rather, the area around the Water Element team would be soaking wet when killing zombies, so they had to find a section of road with good drainage.

Seeing that the leaders of the various training teams had already started killing zombies while arranging their members into formations, Lin Xiuyuan and Huang Yunxiang nodded at each other and began to help Qu Wenting kill the zombies as well.

"Sorry, today is not a cooperative combat exercise, so you’ve been positioned quite far away,"

said Qu Wenting, aware that the Heart Talk Team fought by coordinating with each other.

"What does that matter? With so many Water Element Ability Users here, everyone can cooperate,"

Huang Yunxiang’s words brought a lot of comfort to the hearts of the Water Element trainees, proving the members of the Heart Talk Team were just as approachable as the rumors said—they didn’t put on airs even after reaching such heights.

Listen, everyone could cooperate with each other, which meant that at this moment, they were all teammates!

"Yixiao, how did you come to know Lin Xiuyuan and the others from the Heart Talk Team?"

a teammate asked curiously.

"They saved me. If it weren’t for them, I might already be dead,"

Jiang Yixiao admitted frankly, and indeed what she was saying was the truth. If it hadn’t been for Lin Xiuyuan and the others, she might still be alone, or... perhaps already dead, right?

"I see,"

a girl said, having an epiphany. She had thought Lin Xiuyuan was interested in Jiang Yixiao.

Now, Jiang Yixiao was rightfully known as the "Koi Girl" in their team. Aside from the fact that she didn’t graduate smoothly from the previous batch, with time, it became apparent that whenever there was an emergency and the team was lacking something, she would manage to find it from the most unexpected places with luck.

For instance, once their car broke down on the way back from an outing due to running out of petrol. While everyone was anxious, Jiang Yixiao managed to find fuel in an abandoned car. It should be noted that the petrol from those abandoned vehicles was likely to have been siphoned off by passersby long before, and they had searched all over but only Jiang Yixiao found it.

There were many more incidents like these.

And then there was the time when the previous batch of Water Element trainees encountered an attack from a horde of zombies during an outdoor exam. Just as everyone was in despair, Jiang Yixiao ran away from their team while crying and screaming.

Everyone thought that Jiang Yixiao was inexperienced in combat and ran away scared at the sight of zombies. She attracted almost half of the horde after her. Seeing this, the Captain seized the opportunity to lead the rest to annihilate the remaining zombies, thereby rescuing everyone.

Afterward, the Captain, who didn’t hold much hope, still took some people to search in the direction Jiang Yixiao had run. They saw her emerging dirty from an abandoned house...

Later, not only did Qu Wenting scold her severely, but also, believing her to be slow to react, she didn’t allow Jiang Yixiao to graduate smoothly. However, everyone knew that if it weren’t for Jiang Yixiao drawing away those zombies, they might not have lived to see the present day. And Jiang Yixiao had actually managed to evade so many pursuing zombies, so from then on, everyone affectionately called her "Koi Girl."

During the rest period, Lin Xiuyuan and Huang Yunxiang had already mingled with the Water Element trainees. When they heard everyone teasing Jiang Yixiao about these incidents, Huang Yunxiang couldn’t help but start seeing this girl, who always wore an embarrassed smile, in a new light.

It’s not about luck. This girl is using her own abilities to protect her teammates time and time again!

"So you see, you girls are still naturally timid. When faced with a large number of zombies, you can’t help but to cry and scream. It’s like pre-apocalypse women drivers who would mistake the gas pedal for the brake when in danger,"

At this moment, a male water element ability trainer suddenly shook his head and spoke, his tone seemingly filled with regret.

Feeling the air freeze in a second, the young man realised that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly tried to explain: "I didn’t mean anything by that, and I’m not targeting all girls. I just meant that occasionally there are girls like that..."

"You’re so brave, but I haven’t seen you kill more zombies than any of the girls. Who was it that got scared and hid behind my ice wall just now?"

Lin Xiuyuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up without mincing his words.

Today was not a cooperative battle, and he had been acting as a "protector" for the water element training team members. Whenever there were attacks from more powerful mutated zombies, he was killing zombies and protecting everyone at the same time.

At that time, a speed element zombie suddenly lunged over, and it was the young man who is speaking now who got scared, ran over from the opposite side, and hid under his defensive wall...

"..."

After listening, the young man was so embarrassed that he dared not say anything else. This was the Heart Talk Team’s most formidable ice-element ability user, and everyone had witnessed his strength just now.

The few girls around who had just been ready to refute the young man also cast grateful glances at Lin Xiuyuan. In fact, prejudice against women was everywhere in the apocalypse, and even special ability teams were generally more welcoming of male special ability users. However, at the S-city base, thanks to the captain of the Heart Talk Team being Su Jin, the attitude towards women was much better in this regard.

Who would have thought that the Heart Talk Team’s Lin Xiuyuan would also be a person full of justice and without bias against women?

"Alright, Zhang Chi, don’t let me hear you say such biased statements again. If it hadn’t been for Jiang Yixiao that time, we might all be dead by now. In fact, I bear the greatest responsibility for not assessing the situation properly,"

Qu Wenting said solemnly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Yes, Captain,"

Zhang Chi felt as though the sky was falling, was this what they called being collectively ridiculed...

"Thank you, Lin Xiuyuan,"

It was that same line, Jiang Yixiao couldn’t remember how many times she had thanked Lin Xiuyuan.

It wasn’t until the whistle signaling the end of the break sounded in the distance that Jiang Yixiao came over and spoke.

Thanking him for speaking up for her.

"Mhm, don’t do that again next time. You’re not a speed element ability user,"

Lin Xiuyuan said.

A water element ability user, no matter how fast compared to ordinary people, would need a lot of courage to lead away so many zombies. Thus, she didn’t graduate or defend herself, and that young man’s words were just too hard for him to ignore.
