Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Zombie Tide?

“Qiqi?”

Lin Tianzhen looked at Mao Qiqi and immediately had an ominous premonition. Usually, her daughter would tell them directly if she discovered any danger, but this time Qiqi seemed to have been frightened herself.

“There’s a very, very large horde of zombies. I can’t count how many there are—I feel like there are tens of thousands of them. They’re moving in our direction! We must leave this place quickly!”

Mao Qiqi said anxiously. She didn’t know if it was tens of thousands or even more than a hundred thousand, she only knew that if they were caught up by them, the car would soon be engulfed.

Mao Qiqi’s precognitive ability had been proven numerous times on the road. Hearing this, the driver Xiao Liu floored the gas pedal and drove forward. He ignored the zombies he struck one after another with the front of the car. Now, as evening approached, they had to return to the base before dark!

Everyone in the car was beyond doubt; the originally relaxed atmosphere in the car instantly became tense.

...

If Mao Qiqi’s map range had been a bit larger, she would have realized that at this moment, there were many such hordes of zombies in S City. They trudged through street after street, road after road, occasionally encountering some survivors, but those survivor groups were quickly devoured by the zombie hordes.

All these zombie hordes had the same destination—they were all slowly moving toward City West as if to partake in a gluttonous feast.

“Officer Liang, after we return to the base, I suggest we immediately prepare our defenses,”

Su Jin said.

Liang Jiuhui and the others looked at Su Jin in surprise, even Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi were shocked by her words.

“Are you saying they’re heading for the base?” Liang Jiuhui asked.

Su Jin nodded. Just as she had analyzed earlier in the Space with her family, the city’s zombies were now breaking loose. The most dangerous place in S City was now the base. If zombies from all directions swarmed toward the base, a huge zombie tide would form.

Although she was not completely certain, getting the base prepared was much better than facing a zombie tide unprepared.

“Our base walls are so thick, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Driver Xiao Liu asked loudly.

“No problem, but if zombies surround the city, you can imagine what the base will face,”

Su Jin didn’t state the severity, but that was enough to alarm everyone in the car.

If everyone in the base was trapped within the city, it was highly likely that they would run out of ammunition and supplies, eventually losing even the capacity to resist… And that was the least severe scenario. If a zombie breached their defenses, or if a higher-level zombie got in, it would be even more dangerous.

“I understand. I’ll prepare immediately once we return today,”

Liang Jiuhui said, then fell silent, his mind racing with thoughts of how to strategize the defenses.

Lu Hao squeezed Su Jin’s hand. He didn’t know what a zombie tide would look like, but just thinking about it, he understood the danger. However dangerous it may be, he would protect Su Jin and his family.

The zombie horde that Mao Qiqi sensed was moving slowly. The minibus sped up for a while, and soon she could no longer sense that horde. Although there were still many zombies and mutated zombies blocking the road, everyone in the car arrived at the base safely and without mishap.

Not only that, but they also discovered that the number of zombies near the base had increased a lot within a single day. It was not like this when they left in the morning, and the Apocalypse’s Red Rain had passed for less than a week!

By then, it had completely darkened. Liang Jiuhui didn’t even bother to have dinner. He immediately had Xu Shi and Guan Hong gather all the managers at the administrative building.

Su Jin and her group naturally returned home first. Though it was still uncertain whether the zombie tide would come, the day’s tiredness had nearly depleted everyone’s Special Abilities. The most pressing matter was to rest first.
