Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: The Return of the Baili Divine Team

Su Jin was somewhat relieved that they had returned early today.

Because at the base’s main gate, a new regulation had been implemented where people could only enter two hours after registering.

It was said that someone who was bitten by a zombie in the morning tried to sneak into the base by using Ice-Element Special Abilities to lower their body temperature. However, not long after entering the base, they transformed into a zombie and killed two normal people within the base.

Upon hearing the news, Liang Jiuhui immediately notified the city gate. All those preparing to enter the base had to register and have their body temperature taken at the entrance, then wait for two hours before being allowed inside, with a second body temperature check before entry.

“Really, what does someone who’s been bitten want in the base? Now we all have to wait here,” Lin Xiuyuan complained.

“This is very normal, and it was bound to happen sooner or later. Besides, waiting for two hours is actually quite short,” Su Jin said expressionlessly.

...

In her last life, she had been to some bases where people had to wait half a day and even a full day. Compared to those, the S City base’s regulation was already quite humane.

“The time can be easily killed, hey hey, come on, Lin kid, let’s play Fight the Landlord,”

Nie Qing somehow produced a folding small table, placing it next to the open car door. Two hours were not to be wasted idly outdoors.

Lin Xiuyuan tried to politely refuse, saying, “Uncle Nie, you should play with Uncle Lu and the others. I’m no good at it.”

He had experienced Nie Qing’s “card virtue.” Not only did he like to renege on plays, but even when holding bad cards, he would claim that his hand was top-notch, displaying an air of certain victory. He had even confessed to Lin Xiuyuan in secret that this was his psychological tactic to intimidate the opponent…

“Old Nie, you didn’t lose enough last time?”

Su Xiangzhe couldn’t help but tease, recalling how Nie Qing hadn’t won a single game against him and Lu Guanhai playing Fight the Landlord last time. Was he looking for more punishment today?

“I was just a newbie that time. You didn’t show me any mercy, and you still have the nerve to make fun of me?”

Nie Qing was slightly resentful.

Lu Guanhai, slightly upset, came over to defend, “We didn’t show mercy? Every game we let you renege several times, but you still lost. Now you’re blaming us?”

Su Jin watched the older generation bickering and felt a bit of an urge to laugh.

“I always thought your dad was reticent and didn’t talk much, but it turns out he can be quite talkative,” Su Jin said to Lu Hao, who was standing beside her.

At the moment, Su Jin was sitting on the seat with the car door open while Lu Hao, leaning against the car, also laughed and said, “Yes, I just realized he can be rather verbose.”

Lu Guanhai, who used to sigh a lot, appeared not to let out any sighs anymore.

“That’s a good thing, I enjoy the lively atmosphere of a big family,” Su Jin said, smiling. She herself wasn’t much of a talker since childhood, but she liked to watch her family bustling around her, even if it was just watching TV or eating dinner. Just sitting beside them and watching felt like an unparalleled happiness.

“Hmm, Xiao Jin likes it, and it just so happens I like it too,” Lu Hao said with a straight face.

Beneath a nearby tree, watching the two talking and laughing, Ban Xiaobo felt a pang of jealousy. He wanted a girlfriend too. His online girlfriend before the apocalypse, he wondered how she was doing. She might have already become a zombie by now.

“Under the lemon tree, you and I,”

Xu Chao and Ban Xiaobo exchanged a helpless glance and said.

“Brother Banzi, this isn’t even a lemon tree,”

Rong Yuan, looking up at the tree, asked in confusion; he couldn’t quite understand what the two of them were saying.
