Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Fire-type? Dark-type?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Lu Hao opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on a traditional-style carved-wood bed, he knew that he was inside a room in Lu Mansion.

So he had not died, after all? And he did not transform into a zombie either?

Lu Hao had no idea how many days he had been unconscious for, but his body did not feel tired at all. Instead, he was… full of energy?

He looked at the red-brown plume of fire burning in his right hand. Was he so full of energy that he had spontaneously combusted? _{freewёbnoνel.com}

“Lu Hao, are you awake?” Su Jin ran into the room and immediately saw Lu Hao looking at his hand in confusion. There was a flame she had never seen before blazing on his hand.

However, the two of them soon forgot all about the flame because Lu Hao realized that Su Jin was crying again.

“Don’t cry.”

Lu Hao used his lips to kiss away her years. Even Lil Jin’s years tasted sweet to him.

Su Jin had been crying out of sheer relief and worry, but she soon sensed something amiss. W-W-Was he… licking her? And really enthusiastically at that!

Crash!

Lu Hao was shoved aside, crashing into the bedpost.

“Lil Jin?”

“Ah, sorry! I didn’t mean to. I think I used a bit too much force there. Are you alright?” Su Jin felt slightly guilty. She had lost control of her strength in her panic just now.

“I’m fine. Come here.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I want to hug you.”

Lu Hao reached out and pulled Su Jin into his arms.

“But no more licking, okay?”

He was not a dog, geez, but he kept acting like one.

“Sorry, Lil Jin.”

Sorry for nearly losing you again.

“Right, you should apologize. Do you have any idea how scared I was?”

Su Jin was starting to feel hurt again. Although Lu Hao had apologized to her, she somehow felt even more put upon after hearing his apology.

“I’ve never regretted anything in my life… except this.”

After he was scratched, the only thought in his mind was Su Jin. Once he saw her, however, he regretted everything. He regretted the fact that he was going to abandon her again.

“Then promise me you’ll never do that again. If you do, I won’t save you next time.” Su Jin was still angry.

“Yeah, I promise. I’ll obey everything you say from now on.”

Lu Hao was in a good mood, an unbelievably excellent mood in fact. So this was how it felt like to lose and to find again. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to cuddle up with Su Jin and forget about everything else.

Su Jin pressed down his large wandering hands and then held one up to examine it carefully.

“What’s the matter?” When Lu Hao saw how seriously Su Jin was investigating his body, he felt his lower body gradually begin to react.

“If I’m not mistaken, you were using a special ability just now, weren’t you?”

“You’re not mistaken. I was using this.”

Lu Hao used his other hand to ignite a flame just like the one from before, but Su Jin’s frown only deepened.

“Lil Jin?”

Was this not the fire-type ability she mentioned before?

“I’ve never seen a flame like this before.”

It looked reddish-brown at first, but when she looked closely, she could see that the center of the flame was deep red and the edges were almost black. She had encountered her fair share of fire-type ability users in the past, and she had even seen fire-type zombies before, but their flames never looked anything like this.

“Is it different from the fire-type special abilities you saw before?” Lu Hao asked curiously.

“Definitely, but I don’t know how it’s different. Shall we try it out?”
