Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Nine: Hijacking

In the morning, Liang Wei and his group also set out. To prevent Liang Jiuqing from going on any mission behind their backs again, Liang Jiuhui stuffed Liang Jiuqing into Liang Wei’s car as well.

He had a mission himself today, which was to take some Space Element Ability Users and vehicles to the south of the city to collect supplies. There were two large supermarkets there that hadn’t been scavenged yet. Even though it was dangerous, he still had to go. The number of survivors gathered in the safe refuge was increasing, and the demand for supplies was becoming more and more urgent.

Accompanying Liang Wei were Li Haochu, who had opposed the plan yesterday and the two Special Ability Users following him, as well as Xu Mingzhi and Shao Zian. Liang Jiuhui had also instructed them to bring along four Special Ability Users to ensure safety. To avoid attracting zombies by presenting too large a target, they only planned to set out with two cars.

“Don’t worry, brother, we don’t need to bring that many people with us. Your mission is more dangerous; we’re just going to take a look,” Liang Jiuqing had wanted to join Liang Jiuhui on his mission but had not been given permission. The mission he had today was quite challenging, and it was uncertain whether he would return that day.

Liang Jiuhui nodded and then, with concern, gave the driver a few instructions, telling them which roads were better to travel on.

“Your son is really thoughtful. We’re just going to take a look at the place; what danger could there be?”

Although Li Haochu’s words didn’t sound nice, he actually held a considerable admiration for Liang Jiuhui. Unfortunately, despite his age, he was still a bachelor.

“Have you heard there are still survivors in Dragon Leap Villa?”

Xu Mingzhi asked, having heard from the people of the Zheng family. It seemed that the daughter who had returned to the Zheng family knew those survivors.

“Uncle Xu, they are all Special Ability Users, very powerful,” Liang Jiuqing boasted upon hearing this.

“No wonder they live alone there. Special Ability Users are indeed different,” Shao Zian said with a smile.

Liang Jiuqing frowned upon hearing this and stopped talking. She had never liked Shao Zian before, always feeling his tone was weird and sarcastic. However, since he was the son of her father’s former capable subordinate and had awakened a powerful Metal Element Ability after the Apocalypse, her father had always kept him close to cultivate his talent.

Perhaps due to the increased number of zombies, they encountered several small waves of them on the road today. Although they managed to deal with them all successfully, the Special Ability Users following them, as well as herself, felt quite drained.

“Jiuqing, are you alright?”

Liang Wei asked, looking at his daughter who was wiping sweat from her brow.

“It’s nothing, just a few zombies, no big deal,” Liang Jiuqing replied. Although she had no Special Abilities, her combat skills were still quite good, so she had participated in the zombie killing when they had stopped the car.

Li Haochu also got out of the car to kill a few zombies and, now sitting in the back seat drinking water, exclaimed “Refreshing!” Shao Zian rubbed his wrists; he had just used his Metal Element Ability to kill over a dozen zombies.

Liang Wei frowned, feeling that there was something unusual about their journey today. They had taken the planned safe route, and when Jiuhui and Jiuqing had gone last time, there had been no encounters with danger, he had heard.

Fortunately, when they entered the territory west of the city, the number of zombies noticeably decreased, and the two drivers gradually relaxed. On the previous stretch of road, they had been highly vigilant, afraid of being caught off guard by suddenly appearing zombies.

“Are we going to Dragon Leap Villa first?” Shao Zian asked.

“Yes, we’ll head there first. After all, it’s going to be the main base,” Liang Wei replied.

Shao Zian nodded and said nothing more.

The road to Dragon Leap Villa was in good condition, with few zombies and a wide roadway. After a while, the drivers could see from a distance the landmark building of Dragon Leap Villa: the dragon-shaped fountain.

“Heh, this place has a nice environment and looks quite grand,”
