Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: The Weak and the Strong

“Thank you,”

a team member gratefully said to Su Jin, before he fed the water to Chen Hai, who was on the ground.

Chen Hai seemed to be thirsty too, and after taking a sip, he surprisingly drank all of the remaining water without leaving a drop behind.

Li Haochu was also relieved. He had people put Chen Hai into the military truck, though they bound his hands and feet to prevent him from turning into a zombie and attacking those nearby.

The convoy continued forward, and those survivors who had killed zombies were met with various looks as they got on the vehicle—some envious, some jealous, and others admiring.

After getting on the bus, Deng Shuwei was asked by a woman in front, “Girl, you were really impressive just now. What does it feel like to kill a zombie?”

Deng Shuwei blushed, being asked this while everyone on the bus turned to look at her.

However, she gathered her courage and started talking, “Killing zombies isn’t as scary as I imagined. After killing one, you’re not so afraid anymore. I think those people on that bus must have also killed many zombies to become so capable!”

“Makes sense, girl. Next time we stop, take me with you,”

the woman in front said, laughing.

“Okay, okay, let’s go together,”

Deng Shuwei said gleefully.

Realizing Deng Shuwei was looking in her direction, Fang Jingfu quickly put on a smile and complimented, tilting her head, “Xiao Wei, you’re really amazing. I’m so envious you have a Special Ability.”

The courage that had just been bolstered by Deng Shuwei’s words seemed to diminish in people’s hearts as they heard this. Indeed, the young girl was a Special Ability User. How could they, ordinary people, dare to kill zombies?

“Ah, if only I had a Special Ability,” a man in the vehicle lamented.

“…”

Deng Shuwei bit her lip. She looked at Fang Jingfu, who was still praising her, but she couldn’t feel happy about it at all.

Ah Fu, was she blaming her?

But why? Had she done something wrong?

…

In Su Jin’s vehicle, Liang Wei had gotten to know Mao Qiqi and discovered that despite her young age, she was unusually sensible. However, when he mentioned the survivors on the buses, the little girl’s face showed a look of disdain.

“Too weak, like insects,”

Mao Qiqi spoke without any reserve.

“You mean those survivors?” Liang Wei became interested, hearing this kind of comment for the first time.

“Yes, and you too, you’re quite weak,”

“…”

So why did he even bother asking?

“Qiqi, you need to be polite when speaking,” Huang Yunxiang said, not able to listen anymore and starting to chide her.

“It’s okay, it’s okay; I quite like chatting with Qiqi,”

Liang Wei said, though feeling a bit stung, but still smiling.

Seeing that Liang Wei wasn’t particularly upset, Huang Yunxiang didn’t say anything more, after all, she and Mao Qiqi shared the same sentiments…

“Then why do you still protect me, or even go as far as protecting the weak?” Liang Wei finally asked the question he was interested in.

“Because I used to be weak too. Just because I am weak now doesn’t mean I always will be,”

Mao Qiqi tilted her head and thought for a while before replying, these were lessons learned from Lin Tianzhen and Mao Zhihang.

After hearing this, Su Jin couldn’t help but smile as well. Yes, the weak aren’t always weak, and people can inevitably find themselves stranded on a beach. If giving them a push could let them swim back to the sea, then why not?

As for those who can’t be pushed along, that’s a different story.

Liang Wei gave Mao Qiqi a thumbs up, having faced various people questioning him why he would protect those survivors, and realizing none of them had the clear insight of this young girl before him.
