Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Dinner at the Refuge

Since it was nearly dark outside and Zheng Miaomiao and others had insisted on them staying, recalling that everyone seemed to be rushing during the afternoon and that even if they left now, reaching Dragon Leap Villa might not be possible, Su Jin nodded in agreement, deciding to leave early the next morning.

Liang Jiuqing specially found them a relatively large partitioned room. Although the conditions were somewhat poor, it at least guaranteed safety, and they heard that some people would be coming to distribute food later.

“I wonder what they’ll give out,” Lin Xiuyuan said, though he wasn’t hungry yet, he was still quite eager.

Leaning on Lu Hao’s shoulder, Su Jin smiled. This was good, it would let everyone see what kind of food was eaten in the Apocalypse.

Before long, a staff member pushing a food cart arrived there. He checked the number of people posted on the partition wall, took some food out of a large stainless steel pot, and placed it on the table at the doorway.

Nie Qing, curious, went up to see what food was being distributed. After seeing what was on the table, he silently walked back.

“What did they give out?” Lu Guanhai asked.

“Go check it out yourself,” Nie Qing regretted agreeing to stay here tonight.

Seeing Nie Qing’s reaction, everyone else crowded around, only to see a few brown steamed buns the size of fists on the table and a large bowl of watery porridge where the rice grains could be clearly counted. Besides these, there was nothing else.

“This is very normal. There are nearly ten thousand people here. To ensure a daily ration for that many, this is actually quite good,” Su Jin picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. It didn’t taste too bad, at least not like the dry rations from her previous life that made one’s throat hurt.

Lu Hao also fell silent, stepped forward, and began eating a steamed bun.

Seeing the two of them like this, the others stopped being fussy because they noticed that even the duty personnel standing guard during the day and some others in military uniforms were also sitting on the ground eating the same food.

At the same time, they all realized how blessed they were to have meals with Su Jin.

Local Tyrant Gold seemed quite dissatisfied here, and Su Jin could guess why, knowing the air quality must be poor with so many people concentrated in one area.

After dinner, Zheng Miaomiao and Liang Jiuqing came over again to express their gratitude.

That afternoon outside the villa, Liang Jiuqing had only heard the situation briefly. Miaomiao had just recounted her experiences of the past few days to them, and it was then that Liang Jiuqing realized how much Miaomiao had been through. If not for these individuals, perhaps she would have died outside without anyone knowing.

That despicable couple.

She wished she could catch them and give them a good beating once more.

So now, seeing Su Jin and the others, Liang Jiuqing was exceptionally warm. She even held some biscuits and instant noodles in her hand, wanting them to accept them as a token of thanks. However, Su Jin flatly refused. She understood the significance of these items; in the Apocalypse, these food items were more valuable than gold. Their group had already made great sacrifices in rescuing these survivors and managing them as one unit; they could not possibly accept more.

“Haha, I’m not really managing anything, my father just temporarily pulled me in to fill numbers,”

Liang Jiuqing smiled sheepishly. However, these days she had indeed been influenced by the brothers fighting at the front, going out with them every day to train and fight zombies, which is why she was so tanned.

But her skin was naturally dark, and she never really cared about these external details.

“Do you plan to stay here for long?” Su Jin asked.

“They are already looking for a place suitable for establishing a safe base, but it’s not going to be found that quickly. Even when they find one, they need to clear out the zombies first, so we’ll probably still be here for a short while,” Liang Jiuqing replied.

She didn’t really like it here, managing security every day, rather than letting her go out and train.
