Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 827 Wang Liang’s Conjecture

Chapter 827: Chapter 827 Wang Liang’s Conjecture

"You finally said something sensible today,"

Seeing Jiang Yixiao leave, Huang Yunxiang nodded in approval of her son.

"Alright, Mom, time to get to work,"

For some reason, Lin Xiuyuan felt his face growing hot. It was probably because of the weather.

Lin Cheng, who was unaware of what had happened with his wife and son, had also been killing zombies with Mao Qiqi. Everyone at the S City base knew that the young lady from the Heart Talk Team was also formidable, so no one questioned Mao Qiqi.

Instead of being distracted to protect her as Mao Qiqi killed zombies, Lin Cheng left her to it. As for Mao Qiqi, she felt extremely thrilled, her exhilaration stemming from intercepting one Speed Element zombie after another for those Earth Element trainees, and incidentally saving two trainees who had been caught by zombies.

Killing zombies is more fun with more people, Mao Qiqi concluded in her heart.

Puff

After pulling out her knife from the forehead of a zombie that had pounced from behind, Mao Qiqi looked towards the direction of the city center.

They, a few hundred strong, had been standing here nearly without moving and killing zombies all morning, yet the zombies appeared to be endless. Although living people attract zombies, the zombies in this area should have been drawn out by now based on past experiences.

However, from the direction of the city, an endless stream of zombies was still running over, which was very clear on her mini-map.

...

In a tall commercial building near the city’s northern suburbs and close to the downtown area, an uncountable number of zombies were densely surrounding it.

They were either confused or howling. Some zombies seemed to have heard something first, lifting their heads and staring up into the sky with their cloudy white eyes.

A helicopter approached from afar, heading towards the rooftop of the commercial building.

Roar!

On the rooftop of the commercial building, a grey-white Mutated Zombie was trapped in a rectangular cage. Many zombies had already gathered around it, and upon seeing the helicopter above, all the zombies began to howl.

"Damn it, it’s attracted so many again. Didn’t we seal everything below?"

Inside the helicopter, a man drenched in sweat shouted loudly.

"No matter how well we seal it, it’s useless against our ’Your Majesty,’" said Tan Xingwang. The helicopter was noisy, so they had to wear headsets to hear each other inside.

"I agree. We should just leave it here for now since below is all a zombie nest, and it’s unlikely for anyone to come," said Space Element Ability User Li Jian.

Seeing that a few Wind Element Mutated Zombies had begun to attack the helicopter, Sun Yuan gritted his teeth and quickly turned the helicopter around to fly in the opposite direction.

Besides a few Wind Element Mutated Zombies that chased after it, the originally restless crowd of zombies gradually calmed down. The scene was eerie and terrifying, but in this uninhabited area, nobody noticed.

Sun Yuan glanced back at the cage. The zombie inside was said to have been found in the Dead City, C City. It seemed to have an innate ability to attract zombies; even when it stood still, countless zombies would gather around as if worshipping it, which is why Sun Yuan and the others had privately nicknamed it "Your Majesty."

They had received the mission a month ago: use "Your Majesty" to attract all the zombies from various parts of S City to the Central District, and they would receive a large number of Crystal Cores and materials.

A task that allowed them to get a lot of resources without killing zombies, merely running errands, was something Sun Yuan and his group accepted without a second thought.

Before the Apocalypse, they were a bunch of notorious escapees who committed all sorts of crimes, and they had come together because of similar interests in the Apocalypse, where they were accustomed to murder and looting.

When a major family like the Han Family of B City found them, they were quite surprised too. Although they had to travel from B City to the distant S City to undertake the mission, the Han Family also provided them with ample supplies and tools, including the helicopter they currently had.

When the group arrived at the gates of S City base, they also registered as survivors entering the city for the first time.

Sun Yuan and his companions cheerfully completed their registration and, following the advice of several well-trained staff members, obediently waited to one side for two hours.

"That girl is pretty attractive, haven’t had anyone so well-mannered and cultured be so polite to us in a long time."

Tan Xingwang’s eyes were constantly roving over the busy staff, and the words he uttered were all sorts of offensive and unbearable.

Li Jian looked at Tan Xingwang with disgust. He was a high-level Space Element Ability User affiliated with the Han Family, and this time he was there to assist Sun Yuan’s group. However, he had already found himself wanting to distance from these people numerous times during this period.

"We should all keep a low profile, it won’t be good for any of us if we hinder the mission. Remember, this is someone else’s territory,"

Li Jian said in a subdued voice.

"Pfft, someone else’s territory, I think it’s about to become a zombie’s territory soon enough,"

Zhu Zhengyang whispered to Sun Yuan. Do the people here even realize how many zombies they’ve gathered in the city?

...

Wang Liang had seen Sun Yuan and his companions back at the B City base, but he had only caught a distant glimpse of them as they came out of Han Yue’s office. Later, he also learned that it was they who had taken away the Mental Element Mutated Zombie. Now, seeing them again at the S City base seeking Han Yue, he suddenly had a bold speculation.

"Good grief, the zombies near the North Suburb area are numerous, all lured there. We were just thinking that it’s about time..."

Seeing Wang Liang walking in with tea, Sun Yuan instinctively stopped talking.

"Wang Liang, Mr. Sun and his companions have been weary from their travels these past days. Go and buy some braised meat and such with Yang Bo and the others,"

Han Yue said.

"Alright,"

Wang Liang nodded, set down the tea, and walked out.

Han Yue had sent all the others in the room away. It looked like he had something to discuss with these people. Knowing Han Yue was a Mental Element Ability User, Wang Liang never dared to eavesdrop or linger outside the door too much, so after closing the door, he walked straight out of the courtyard.

Han Yue was extremely pleased with this aspect of Wang Liang. He could feel that Wang Liang always carried out his tasks dutifully and never overstepped his bounds. Han Yue had taken Wang Liang with him on many occasions, but this mission was entrusted to a team outside the Han Family, and not even Zuo Sen and his crew were aware of it.

After Wang Liang left, he saw Yang Bo and the others, as usual, playing cards, so he let them know and asked if they wanted to join him.

"It’s too hot, and we haven’t finished our game yet, go on ahead,"

Yang Bo said without lifting his head, waving his hand.

"Alright then, do you guys need me to bring anything back?"

Wang Liang asked again.

"Wang Liang is the real deal, haha, get me a pack of instant noodles will you,"

Zhao Qinglong said with a chuckle, aware that Wang Liang would be using "public funds." The kid was getting better at playing the system.

Wang Liang gave a slight smile, nodded, and walked out of the courtyard. However, as he turned to leave, that smile took on a hint of sly amusement...
