Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Searching for the Culprit

“How could there be so many zombie rats?” Liang Wei couldn’t help but ask.

“They must have been drawn here by something,” Su Jin said while paying attention to the surroundings, to prevent any missed ones from escaping and hurting people.

People in the refuge gradually started poking their heads out and walking outside, and some of the timid ones were peering down from the second-floor windows.

Chen Xiarong in the crowd was pleasantly surprised to discover that Lu Hao had returned today!

Could he have come back for her? Otherwise, why would he have come back after clearly leaving for the base yesterday?

And most importantly, Brother Lu looked so formidable, turning those zombie rats into ashes in his presence!

If she had known Brother Lu would come back for her, she wouldn’t have argued with that woman last night. She had only pushed her gently, and who would have thought she’d be so clumsy, bumping into that and dying. Anyway, nobody saw it. She just needed to pretend she knew nothing.

In the apocalypse, even the death of a person didn’t count for much.

With that thought, she hurriedly straightened her clothes, wanting to show her best self to Brother Lu.

If she had known, she would have brought her bag, which still had half a bottle of unused perfume…

While Chen Xiarong was lost in her wild thoughts, the Special Ability Users had already wiped out all the zombie rats, and after waiting a bit longer without seeing any new ones emerging from behind the convenience store, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Hao also turned and walked over.

Chen Xiarong watched him, aglow with joy. Had he seen her here?

Her heart beat fiercely, almost throwing off her breathing rhythm!

But Lu Hao didn’t look her way. Instead, with a gentle smile, he held the hand of a girl standing next to Liang Wei.

The girl’s back was very pretty, her hair tied into a loose bun, revealing a fair neck…

From her angle, Chen Xiarong could see Lu Hao talking seriously to the girl, and then they held hands and followed a group of people forward.

No, they couldn’t leave!

She hadn’t greeted Lu Hao, and she had not yet clearly seen who the girl standing next to him was.

Seeing some curious people following them, she also blended into the crowd and walked over.

Lu Hao was following Li Haochu to find the source of the zombie rats, which had just burst out from behind those abandoned convenience stores, so they were all carefully heading in that direction to investigate.

A bad premonition rose in Chen Xiarong’s heart.

That direction…

No, no, no. It should be impossible. She had already buried that person’s body and covered it with several layers of discarded cardboard.

The scene behind the convenience store made everyone who saw it gasp in shock.

There was a pile of discarded cardboard, and behind a stone fence was the forest at the back of the refuge. Under the tree closest to the refuge, the soil looked to have been dug up by something, exposing a gruesomely gnawed corpse.

Some people behind couldn’t help but vomit. The state of the corpse was too horrifying, identifiable as a woman’s from the clothes and hair.

“The corpse must have attracted the zombie rats,” Su Jin muttered with furrowed brows. How could there be a buried corpse here?

“Investigate! I want to know how she ended up dead here!”

Recalling the two soldiers who had died in vain just a moment ago, Liang Wei wished to find out the cause immediately.
