Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Going Out to Clean Up

“Old Liang, that area in City West is desolate. Are you sure you want to build a base there? Do you realize how difficult that will be?”

Li Haochu, in charge of the refuge’s security, was the first to object. The place in City West had been dubbed “Ghost City” for years before the apocalypse started. Although it had somewhat improved in the later years, its improvement was only due to land sales and housing speculation, which he was reluctant to deal with.

“Ha, you old rascal, if not in a barren place, do you plan to build in the middle of a crowded zombie nest?” Liang Wei laughed despite his irritation.

“What’s wrong with a zombie nest? Just have my men blow it up; my soldiers are quite capable!”

Indeed, Li Haochu commanded a significant military force, and he naturally favored solving problems through brute force. If it weren’t for Liang Wei’s restraint, he would have already led his troops to a decisive battle against the zombies.

In the apocalypse, Liang Wei had only agreed to use him. If it were before the apocalypse, Li Haochu’s straightforward nature could have gotten him kicked into some forgotten corner of the mountains. It was only because Liang Wei had always protected him before the apocalypse that he was willing to listen to Liang Wei now.

“I agree with Old Liang. We can’t afford too many more sacrifices, and with poor medical conditions and not enough hands, finding a base quickly to settle everyone would be great,” Xu Mingzhi said.

He was in charge of medical and research at the refuge. The recent increase in injuries had overwhelmed him; he even had to personally administer injections in the medical center, but there were still not enough hands.

“Anyway, aren’t we going there tomorrow? Let’s all go have a look together,” Shao Zian said nonchalantly.

“Yeah, Zian is right. Tomorrow, you all come with me to check it out. According to Jiuhui, the zombies there have mostly been cleared out, and Dragon Leap Villa is mostly clean as well…”

“Really? Then I must see who is so capable tomorrow,” Li Haochu’s voice carried through the thin door.

…

The soldier guarding outside felt as if a breeze had just passed by, but after carefully looking around and seeing no one, he continued to stand at attention.

Zhao Bin was quite angry today because Sun Yixue had not been able to provide food for him and his brothers, leading to him beating her up to vent some of his anger. He didn’t know when that person would come, but every time he did come, he brought a lot of supplies to distribute among them. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

Just then, someone knocked on the warehouse door; hearing the regular rhythm, Zhao Bin joyfully got up. It was him!

“Boss, shouldn’t we let him in?”

The brother standing guard at night also knew Zhao Bin had higher-ups, but no one had ever seen that person. They said he was a manager in the refuge.

“No need, I’ll go out. You watch here and don’t let anyone out,”

Zhao Bin glanced around the warehouse; most of his men were asleep. Liu Jiajin, in the corner, still looked barely alive. And that woman, who had just been beaten by him, likely wouldn’t dare cause any trouble.

So Zhao Bin confidently walked outside.

“Remember, tomorrow, Dragon Leap Villa, proceed as planned,”

A cool male voice came from the shadows. The moon, obscured by thick clouds, occasionally shone through the gaps in the clouds, but Zhao Bin still couldn’t see who the newcomer was. He only knew the man had a codename.

It was only recently that he had been informed that all future communications with him would be via someone called Ying Yue.

Zhao Bin remembered the man wearing a mask and hat, all mysterious and impossible to identify, but from his voice alone, he knew he was young. However, since he was one of his boss’s men, Zhao Bin wouldn’t dare ask too much.
