Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 -265 Conscription

In the S City base, a group of people in the meeting room watched a few minutes of video on the big screen in silence.

The footage was captured by a drone, and although it was only in the air for a few minutes before a Wind Element Mutated Zombie shot it down, the scenes it recorded still gave those in the room a clear picture of the current situation inside S City.

Today, Liang Jiuhui had dispatched two teams, composed of twenty Guard Squad members and Space Element Ability Users respectively, to scavenge for supplies, but only two survivors returned, both gravely injured and currently lying in the Base Hospital.

Before slipping into unconsciousness, the two recalled an encounter with a horde of zombies near the western part of the city, consisting of three to four hundred individuals, with over a hundred being Mutated Zombies.

Upon recognizing the dire situation, they didn’t engage in battle but quickly drove off. However, the Mutated Zombies relentlessly pursued them, with Guard Squad members sacrificing themselves to delay and resist the onslaught. In the end, only those two Space Element Ability Users made it back, because their space contained some of the supplies they had scavenged today…

The two Space Element Ability Users were on the verge of tears as they recounted the events, and even those beside them like Xu Mingzhi and Lin Tianhui couldn’t help but shed tears.

...

After hearing the story, Lin Tianhui grew anxious about the family members who had gone out today. She took a moment to step away to use the restroom, entered her space, and after asking Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo, she felt slightly relieved.

It turned out Qiqi and Tianzhen had already informed the elders about the situation outside when they had gone to rest. Qiqi had only experienced some adverse reactions due to overexertion of her Special Ability while trying to save Tianzhen. After resting in the space for a bit, they had recovered, and no one else was injured.

Lin Tianhui felt somewhat relieved after learning this. However, it was also the first time her family had encountered such danger during an outing. If Qiqi hadn’t used her Special Ability at the critical moment, her little sister…

Lin Tianhui dared not think further.

It seemed that the outside world had indeed become very dangerous.

Not daring to stay in the space for too long, Lin Tianhui spoke briefly with the elders before leaving. She had already used her Healing Element Ability to heal the wounds of the two Space Element Ability Users, but as for the emotional trauma they had suffered, it would take time for them to heal on their own…

Liang Jiuhui left the hospital in a hurry after obtaining the drone footage, and he watched the scenes in the video over and over again in the meeting room.

In the city of S, aside from the unrecognizable streets and the devastated high-rise buildings, the ground was densely packed with zombies, and it seemed that Mutated Zombies accounted for a third of the Ordinary Zombies!

Was it because of that rain?

Liang Jiuhui frowned and watched the video again from start to finish, noting that some of the obstacles they had risked their lives to seal off at street corners had been completely destroyed, with large numbers of zombies pouring out from those exits…

If this continued, the west of the city would truly be in danger!

Liang Jiuhui quickly convened an emergency meeting with the base’s management to discuss the situation. With S City having a regular population of over 25 million, subtracting the deaths over the past two months of the Apocalypse and the current number of survivors, there were at least 15 million zombies left!

And this was a conservative estimate. Aside from the regular population, it was possible that the number of remaining zombies would far exceed this figure!

Everyone present was shocked, and even Jia Kaiji felt his scalp tingle upon hearing this.
