Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Sacrifice

“Anyway, be careful,” Lu Hao said.

The road leading to Antique City was inaccessible by car, so they had to get out and walk. Su Jin placed Local Tyrant Gold on Lu Hao’s shoulder; although both were somewhat reluctant, they obediently did not resist.

Zombies in the corner had already spotted them, all excitedly running toward them. Lu Hao didn’t wait for them to get close, taking them down from a distance.

The two of them walked slowly forward, even Su Jin feeling there was something odd about this place, until Lu Hao who was leading in front stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Su Jin asked, puzzled.

“There’s something wrong with that pile of sand,” Lu Hao said in a low voice.

Su Jin hadn’t noticed the pile of sand, as it was common to see areas needing repair on the road, and a pile of sand by the wall didn’t seem out of the ordinary.

But the part of the sandpile beneath had a blood-red color, clearly covered by fresh sand on top, and while the top sand appeared wet and dark, the bottom was dry and light.

Could it be…

The two exchanged looks, and Lu Hao nodded, his right hand igniting a flame and hurling it toward the sand!

“Roar~”

A pale, greenish Zombie burst out from the sand, hit by the flame!

It was a Mutated Zombie!

This Zombie had actually learned to hide and ambush, definitely not one that had just mutated.

When the Mutated Zombie realized it was discovered, it started controlling the sand and rocks on the ground, hurling them at the two!

It was Earth Element!

Lu Hao wrapped an arm around Su Jin’s waist and jumped to the side, avoiding the sand and rock attacks. But the Zombie was not willing to give up, continuing to control the bricks beside the construction site to attack them.

Continuously dodging was no solution, so Su Jin and Lu Hao decided to attack from both sides!

They ran to the left front and right front respectively. Su Jin urged vines forward, knocking away the rocks thrown by the Earth Element Zombie, then stabbing the vines toward the Earth Element Zombie! Meanwhile, Lu Hao on the right also conjured up a cluster of flame, hurling it at the same Zombie!

The Earth Element Zombie used rocks on the ground to block Su Jin’s vines. The vines shattered the rocks, while its arm did not manage to evade Lu Hao’s attack, a huge fireball hitting its left arm!

Didn’t hit the head?

Lu Hao continued pelting it with one fireball after another. The Earth Element Zombie parried while retreating, but the fireballs did not extinguish upon being blocked; instead, they began burning across various parts of its body!

The Earth Element Zombie was thoroughly enraged and charged directly at Lu Hao!

“Phut”

The sizzling sounds abruptly stopped as the Earth Element Zombie slowly fell. Su Jin withdrew the vine that had pierced the back of the Zombie’s head, a yellow Crystal Core also hooked out.

“Quite large,” Lu Hao commented as he came over.

“Yeah, it’s a Level Two Crystal Core. I wonder if uncle will be able to advance successfully after absorbing it,” Su Jin said. She rinsed the Crystal Core clean with water from a bottle in her Space, then tucked it into her storage bag and into her Space.

Coming out and finding loot, the feeling wasn’t bad.
