Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Each Relying on Their Own Skills

The guard squad had quickly taken remedial measures, dispersing the survivors from vehicle 8 into other vehicles.

Since the vehicles weren’t too crowded to begin with, no one had any complaints, and each new person even got a seat.

The convoy didn’t dare to linger here long and moved on toward the direction of the base one by one.

After Lu Hao boarded, the attitude inside the vehicle became respectful, with people constantly praising his prowess and asking about his relationship with the girl with the Wood Element special ability.

Lu Hao, annoyed by the questions, turned around and said, “She’s my wife, please be quiet.”

“Yes!”

The once chattering group answered in unison.

Lu Hao: …

The driver couldn’t help but laugh. Could these people get a bit of dignity?

Su Jin, however, patiently answered the questions of the people in the vehicle.

She noticed the barrel for weapons at the front, which had been emptied by the people inside the vehicle, and felt a bit relieved, realizing that these individuals weren’t completely dependent on others.

Zombies were still running outside the car window, and some were furiously pouncing towards the window, but everyone was surprised to find that they were no longer as scared as before, even finding the zombies that got knocked down somewhat funny.

Perhaps, after one experiences something, they become no longer afraid?

As the vehicle entered the territory of City West, they could see a sign pointing toward the base every few distances, and the number of zombies on both sides of the streets had indeed decreased a lot.

“Amazing!”

People inside the vehicle had started discussing the scenery outside, the pre-Apocalypse deserted City West now providing a particular sense of security. Even the abandoned vehicles on the streets had been pushed to either side, leaving a wide main road open.

As they drove further, the drivers simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, as they had already seen the walls of the base. Su Jin noticed that today’s walls were even taller than yesterday. It seemed her uncle and the others were really working hard!

“Is that the base?” People inside the vehicle had also noticed the impressive sight up ahead.

“It looks like an ancient city wall! Are we going to live here from now on?”

“Yes, if we had known, we would have come here sooner!”

“Little girl, little girl, I want to ask, they say here doesn’t include food and lodging, so what are we going to live on?” a woman asked. She liked this place but didn’t yet know the rules here.

Others also reacted, right, if this place doesn’t include food and lodging, how will they survive?

Su Jin turned around, smiling as she said, “As long as you have hands, anyone can survive.”

“Hey, that’s exactly the point. You all see zombies and run, yet don’t want to do hard work at the base. Now that you’re here, you eat by your own skills!” the driver said after firmly braking.

The driver’s words made everyone feel ashamed. Although the words weren’t nice, they were indeed true. They had been too naive before.

No one noticed that the driver had already pressed the door open, and the little girl who had been previously inquired about had vanished without a trace.

“Xiao Jin, you?”

As soon as Lu Hao got off the vehicle, Su Jin quickly pulled him along, and they didn’t need to register, only had their temperatures checked before they were let through.

“Hurry up, or we’ll be held back for a round of thanks again.”

Please forgive her; she really didn’t want to listen to those words of thanks, even if they came from the heart.

“Okay,” Lu Hao said with a smile, understanding Su Jin’s intentions.

Those people were indeed quite noisy.

Moreover, someone had even asked Lu Hao to teach them kung fu just now.

Haha.

The news of the survivors’ safe arrival quickly spread within the base; Jia Yue sighed as she picked up the shattered vase fragments from the ground, after her father had thrown a major tantrum.

But the news from the refuge wasn’t coming through as quickly, so she was unable to advise her father anymore.

“Father, you shouldn’t be too anxious; opportunities are everywhere in the apocalypse,” Jia Yue’s gentle voice came through, slightly soothing Jia Kaiji’s annoyed mood.

Seeing that her words had some effect, Jia Yue continued, “You just need to take care of your health. Yuer will still need you in the future”

The admiration in Jia Yue’s eyes was evident to Jia Kaiji; he indeed had a good daughter. It would have been even better if she were a son, what a pity.

Jia Yue lowered her head; she had not missed the regret in Jia Kaiji’s eyes. Why, even though she always supported her father, couldn’t she get any affirmation from him?

A strong desire for revenge began to hatch in her heart but was quickly suppressed. Her father only had her now; she couldn’t lose sight of what was most important, making shrewd plans for him.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Jia Yue quickly stood up to open it, perhaps there were news from the refuge.

However, there was no one outside the door. Just as Jia Yue thought it was Xia Ying, she saw a note on the ground. Was this from Zhai Qi?

Zhai Qi was Jia Kaiji’s trusted aide within the base. Jia Yue quickly handed the note to Jia Kaiji.

Jia Kaiji read the note and laughed, “Yuer, you were right. We just need to wait for the right opportunity.”

Jia Yue looked at the note in Jia Kaiji’s hand, which ambiguously stated: “The matter at the city gate has been settled.”

…

As soon as Su Jin and Lu Hao entered the home, they saw Lin Xiuyuan crawling on the floor like a caterpillar, with Local Tyrant Gold amusingly mimicking his actions beside him.

Lu Hao: …

“Su Jin, brother-in-law, you’re finally back,” Lin Xiuyuan cried like a fairy.

“What’s the matter?” Su Jin couldn’t help asking. Uncle Lin Cheng wasn’t at home either, it shouldn’t be that bad for this kid.

Huang Yunxiang brought over a plate of washed fruits and placed it on the table, saying, “Don’t mind him, he’s just bored.”

It turned out that because Su Jin and Lu Hao had been busy transferring survivors the past few days, the family felt fine on the first day back, but by the second day, they started to feel bored. They had also helped out at the shop, but no matter how much they helped, something still seemed missing.

“I want to go out and kill zombies,” Lin Xiuyuan said pitifully.

He felt that his special ability would degenerate if not used soon.

“It’s not that exaggerated. Special abilities won’t degenerate if not used, they just get rusty. Besides, it’s only been two days since you last used yours,” Su Jin said while washing her hands and smiling.

“No, you must take me with you tomorrow; I want to help too, and I don’t need money,” Lin Xiuyuan stood up and spoke in a whining tone.

“Sister Xiao Jin, I want to go too,”

Mao Qiqi, who had appeared at some point, tugged at Su Jin’s sleeve and said.

Su Jin looked helplessly at Lu Hao. Her family seemed to be addicted to fighting zombies.

“The car can fit everyone,” Lu Hao said.

“Yay!!” The two of them cheered simultaneously, and even Local Tyrant Gold jumped up happily.
