Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Practice

The Apocalypse had just begun in the first two days, many people developed high fevers, some fevers receded quickly, and those people even discovered they had awakened special abilities, while others, still delirious with fever, transformed directly into zombies and lunged at the friends, lovers, and even family members who were caring for them.

Television stations, after going offline on the first day, resumed their normal broadcast by the morning of the second day. A family watched the TV as it reported situations from around the globe and couldn’t stop sighing.

Almost all media outlets were urging people not to go out unless absolutely necessary.

From their TVs, citizens could see footage of various supermarkets, monitored by cameras; restaurants, hotels, including images captured by drones of markets and streets, virtually every corner teemed with wandering zombies.

The news reported that the Huaxia military would implement various emergency measures, exterminate zombies, and would collaborate with countries worldwide to rapidly research inhibitors for the zombie virus, ensuring citizens could stay safe at home. It also advised that if anyone had a feverish family member or friend, they should be isolated immediately.

Drones also captured footage of fully armed military forces appearing on the streets, firing live ammunition to kill the roaming zombies, the scenes were incredibly striking.

It seemed that in the early stages of the Apocalypse, the situation was still within the local government’s control.

Su Jin shook her head and told everyone that this was just to pacify the public, the real situation was far more severe than reported on the television. Advising everyone to stay at home now would mean that after some time, those who never ventured out would be completely unable to face any zombie, just one child zombie could bite and infect all the residents of an entire floor, then assimilate them. If from the beginning there were calls for citizens to resist as much as they could and gather whatever food they could, the situation might have been better.

Because after some time, not only would the number of zombies increase, their abilities would also grow stronger. Special ability users still weren’t accustomed to using their powers when there were already Level Two, even Level Three special ability zombies appearing.

After hearing Su Jin’s words, her family had no doubts, they wholeheartedly believed what Su Jin said. So, when Su Jin suggested luring zombies into the yard for them to kill, they didn’t shrink back.

During these initial days of the Apocalypse, Su Jin planned to let her family practice killing zombies at home or nearby. So she intended to work with Lu Hao to lure the zombies in the alley one by one. If they lured them all at once, her family definitely couldn’t cope.

The family looked grimly at the howling zombie in the yard, although Su Jin had used vines to tie it to the railing, it was still so disgusting…

“How about, I show you how to kill the first one?” Su Jin raised an eyebrow at her family, who all nodded in agreement, and Lu Hao, trusting Su Jin a lot, positioned himself in front of the family to prevent the zombie from inadvertently harming them.

Today, Su Jin wore a white openwork shirt that accentuated her slender waist, and blue jeans that made her legs look long and straight.

Su Jin pulled out a hair tie and tied up her long hair that was draped over her shoulders, then picked up the Ghost Hand Knife in her hand and approached the zombie.

“Sister Xiao Jin, be careful,” Mao Qiqi couldn’t help but shout out.

With a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, Su Jin removed the vines tying up the zombie, indeed, she wanted to show her family how to defeat a zombie without using special abilities.

This was a male zombie, not a neighbor they recognized. Judging by his appearance, he must have been in his thirties or forties before he died, and was tall. Once free from the vines, he immediately lunged at Su Jin, who was closest to him.

Su Jin didn’t dodge, and the moment the male zombie was about to touch her, she swiftly moved behind him, kicked off the fence, and launched an attack at the back of the zombie’s head. Su Jin was very fast, and the Ghost Hand Knife was extremely sharp— in one swift motion, the entire head of the male zombie was chopped off and rolled towards her family.

Looking back at Su Jin, she was still in that white shirt, without a drop of blood on her body. If one ignored the bloody knife in her hand, everyone might think the smiling woman was a serene beauty. At this moment, apart from Lu Hao, the family swallowed their saliva, looking at her in awe; she was too formidable!

“Sister Xiao Jin, you’re so cool and amazing,” Mao Qiqi had been scared till her eyes were red, but that didn’t stop her from admiring Su Jin. She thought her Sister Xiao Jin was much more beautiful than any female star on television.

Lu Hao looked at Su Jin before him, seeing this side of her for the first time—her deadly decisiveness combined with gentle beauty struck his heart deeply. He could even hear his heart beating faster in his chest. He thought, probably only his Xiao Jin could have such a temperament in this world.

Ignoring the eager eyes of others, Su Jin walked over to the fallen head, searched inside the zombie’s head with her knife, and unfortunately found no Crystal Core. Such a pity.

Suppressing the urge to vomit, Nie Qing asked, “Girl, were you looking for something like a Beast Core?”

Without asking Lu Hao for further help to lure zombies, Su Xiangzhe planned to go out himself, while Su Jin and Lu Hao stood on the second floor, ready to use their Special Abilities to help if Su Xiangzhe encountered danger. _{freёwebnovel.com}
