Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Chapter Forty-five: Fate

Lu Hao had also been careful not to neglect his training lately. However, he had been training with Su Jin in the Space.

First, time in the Space moved much slower than outside, making training incredibly efficient, and second, their Special Abilities could only be fully utilized within the Space.

His Fire Element Ability was almost reaching the Level One Late Stage, and he was quite dissatisfied with this pace.

The problem was, he had nothing to burn; the Space was filled with useful supplies, crops, and livestock, so whenever he practiced, he had to go far away to burn vacant land just to use his Ability. Moreover, his Ability consumed energy at a slow rate, allowing him to reabsorb and reuse the expelled Special Ability Fire.

It seemed that only in the Apocalypse could he properly practice his Fire Element Ability.

But when it came to physical training, he hadn’t slacked off in the slightest. Now, Lu Hao appeared even more robust than before his vacation.

Dressed in his deep blue uniform, he looked tall and imposing. Under the brim of the matching hat was a face with distinct features, and a few strands of black hair fell at the edge, pressing down the ends of his slanting brows, his eyes and the corners of his mouth reflecting the resolve expected of a soldier.

Su Jin woke up in the morning to see Lu Hao neatly attired. He was currently in front of the mirror, adjusting the buttons at the top of his uniform, chin slightly raised, a gesture that made him appear full of restrained intensity.

Su Jin felt she was being silly again, gawking like a lovesick fool. He was exactly like the perfect men in the novels she used to read, but only she knew what kind of body lay beneath that starched uniform. At the thought, her cheeks reddened and she quickly picked up the water glass from her bedside to take a sip.

Suddenly, Lu Hao felt a soft embrace envelop him from behind and couldn’t help but curve his lips upward, saying, “You’re awake?”

“Mm-hmm, are you going to work soon?” she asked, knowing the answer but just wanting to talk more with the handsome man before her.

“What, you don’t want me to go to work?” Lu Hao affectionately pinched her cute, upturned nose. Hearing Su Jin’s soft voice, he too was reluctant to leave for work.

“Not at all, just come home early, and try not to work overtime. Wait for our good news,” Su Jin was also quite looking forward to today’s “mission.”

“If there’s no special assignment, I can finish work early and come to find you,” said Lu Hao.

Being a police officer was a demanding job. If tasks arose, it could mean several days and nights without rest, so when there were no assignments, the routine was comparatively more relaxed.

“No need, you just take care of yourself. We have plenty of people~” Su Jin playfully teased Lu Hao some more, feeling the previous tickling of her heart had been well relieved, and she urged Lu Hao to head to work.

Lu Hao smiled helplessly—It was not that Su Jin couldn’t bear him leaving, but rather that he couldn’t bear to leave her and their lively family. In fact, he was quite keen to join them in checking on the shop…

When Lu Hao arrived at his squad’s location, everyone else was already assembled, several team members watching him with bright eyes, waiting for the morning’s routine meeting. Aside from Yin Chengtian, Shi Jin, Xiang Sanjin, Tian Yongyi, Guan Shouzhong, Peng Dong, and Mai Wenyang, Lu Hao noticed that Liao Yifan from the neighboring squad was also there.

Liao Yifan was acknowledged as the police station’s belle, but she was quite the Tyrant Flower. Aside from Lu Hao, no other man could best her.

This was precisely why everyone was wary of the usually stoic Lu Hao, except for Liao Yifan, who, after being defeated by him, vowed in front of all the officers that she would one day beat Lu Hao.

In this police station, if Liao Yifan dared to claim she was third in terms of Combat Power, then no one would dare claim second. The first, of course, was Lu Hao, who had not only graduated from a military academy but also had two years of military experience and had participated in special missions.

Ignoring Liao Yifan’s question, Lu Hao strode out of the door and headed directly to her team’s office. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
