Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Preparing to Depart

Mao Qiqi’s family didn’t invite too many people to her birthday, firstly because they considered that attending such a birthday party might be costly for others, and secondly because they were about to set off for E City and didn’t want to explain too much about the mission there.

So, they just closed the door and celebrated among themselves.

Mao Qiqi was happy to have grown another year older, and although everyone still treated her like a child, everyone had acknowledged her capabilities by then, she was no longer the little girl who got scared at the sight of a zombie a few months ago.

“Happy Birthday, Qiqi”

Huang Yunxiang brought out a three-tier cake, covered in cream and fruit that made everyone, who had already eaten their fill, start drooling again because it looked so delicious!

“Auntie Huang, did you really make this yourself?”

...

Liao Yifan praised as she circled the cake, it looked so luxurious, and though it lacked the decorative touches of a cake shop, the riot of colorful fruit was attraction enough.

“Yes, next time one of you has a birthday, remember to book in advance with me,”

Huang Yunxiang said with a smile.

Local Tyrant Gold was also infected by the cheerful atmosphere at home, jumping around everywhere. The fruit on the cake tempted it to reach out and grab some, but it knew it shouldn’t just take things from the table to eat. However, since the family always shared some treats with it, it simply sat in front of a paper plate at the corner of the table waiting its turn.

“Sister-in-law, take Local Tyrant Gold with you when you go,”

Yin Chengtian suggested, though he didn’t mention that he was actually worried about Captain Lu.

“Yeah, we’ll take it with us,”

A monkey who knew the way, might be useful to take along, and if it became troublesome, they could just put it in the Space.

Mao Qiqi’s birthday gifts were taken from Su Jin’s Space and Guo Yang’s Space, as there wasn’t much to buy at the base, and both of their Spaces had everything one might need. However, Liao Yifan still gave Mao Qiqi a beautiful music box.

“Thank you, Sister Yifan,”

Mao Qiqi happily accepted it, the clear sound of the music box was very soothing to her ear.

“Where did Yifan buy it from?” Lin Tianhui asked curiously.

“Ah, just a trophy my brother gave me after I beat him in a challenge,”

Liao Yifan said as she took a bite of the soft, fragrant cake.

Brother?

Guo Yang immediately sat up straight.

Yifan’s brother, could it be that he already had a rival in love?

Lin Tianhui glanced at Guo Yang but said nothing, just smiled.

It seemed that even after Xiao Jin and Xiao Hao left, things here wouldn’t be too dull.

Before heading back to their secondary residence, Guo Yang listed out all the inventory and quantities needed for the store and gave it to Su Jin. Ever since he knew that Su Jin’s Space needed so many Crystal Cores daily, he had taken earning money even more seriously and even thought about expanding the store if possible.

But now was not the time, it could wait until Su Jin and Lu Hao completed their mission and returned.

There was still a long time to go, and they needed many Crystal Cores.

He would also make sure that Su Jin’s family’s investment in his business paid off.

“Don’t work too hard,”

Guo Yang said to Su Jin and Lu Hao before heading back to the secondary residence.

“…”

Su Jin now wondered if she had mentioned too many Crystal Cores, putting too much pressure on Guo Yang. Guo Yang being so serious about this, she was indeed not quite used to it.

“It’s okay, pressure is also a motivation,”
