Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: The Chaos of the Slum

Su Jin's advancement didn't finish until late into the night.

After the whole family had successfully advanced, they didn't go to rest right away, but instead took out several decks of playing cards downstairs and played Landlord while waiting for Su Jin to complete her advancement.

Nie Qing initially just watched from the sidelines, but gradually he also picked up some tricks and clamored to join in for a round.

“Uncle Nie, go ahead, I'll help you check your cards from behind,”

Lin Xiuyuan generously gave up his seat to him.

“Hehe, thanks, Kid Lin,”

Nie Qing found these playing cards to be quite magical; seeing Su Xiangzhe and Lu Guanhai win a few rounds, he couldn't help but want to give it a try as well.

Lu Guanhai and Su Xiangzhe exchanged glances and then laughed.

“Uncle Nie, it's best to arrange your cards in order of rank, so it's more convenient when you play them,”

Lin Xiuyuan, seeing the disordered bunch of cards in Nie Qing's hand, felt a headache coming on as Nie Qing confidently claimed the Landlord role for himself, declaring that he would leave none standing…

“What do you know, this is what I call 'order in chaos, and there's reason in the order'!”

Nie Qing said with feigned composure.

“Then you… Go for it, go for it,”

Lin Xiuyuan shrugged his shoulders, looking over at the other end of the table where the three Lin siblings were. As expected, it was always Lin Cheng single-handedly winning against Lin Tianzhen and Lin Tianhui, who from time to time exchanged glances, though Lin Cheng simply turned a blind eye, not bothering to make a fuss over his sisters.

“Mom, Uncle, how about the three of us join in for a game too?” Lin Xiuyuan, watching this, felt the urge to play too.

“Sure, come on, son,”

Huang Yunxiang was quite excited today as well; she had actually advanced to become a Level Three Water Element user, something she had never even dreamed of before.

After Su Jin had successfully advanced, she opened her eyes and saw that Lu Hao was still reading next to her.

“How do you feel?”

Lu Hao closed his book and tossed it aside, asking as he walked over and felt Su Jin's forehead.

“I'm Level Five now!” Su Jin said excitedly.

Lu Hao smiled and gently pinched her nose, saying, “Xiao Jin, you are really amazing! Congratulations.”

“Did you make it too?” Su Jin asked.

Lu Hao nodded, he was now a Level Four Fire Element user.

“It's still raining, is everyone okay?” Su Jin asked worriedly.

“They're all waiting for you downstairs; let's go down together,” Lu Hao replied.

Su Jin didn't expect the whole family to be worried about her, and just as she was moved by this thought, she heard Nie Qing's excited shout from below: “I'm the Landlord!”

“Are they really waiting for me?”

Su Jin stood at the top of the staircase and muttered, watching the busy family.

Mrs. Su and Lin Tianhui didn't even bother to turn their heads as they said, “Xiao Jin, you're awake? I'm playing a pair sequence! Hahaha.”

“Sister Xiao Jin, have you succeeded in advancing?”

Mao Qiqi came over holding the Local Tyrant Gold and asked.

“Qiqi is the best, I succeeded, yes. How about you, Qiqi?” Su Jin remembered that Mao Qiqi was in the midst of advancing earlier as well.

“Yeah, I'm Level Two now, and I can see all the people and zombies in the entire villa complex!” Mao Qiqi said proudly with a beaming smile.

“Zombies?”

Lu Hao was a bit shocked by Mao Qiqi's words.

“It must be because of the rain that some people have turned into zombies,”

Su Jin immediately realized that after this rain, just like in her previous life, an extremely small number of ordinary people would become Special Ability Users, and some would transform into Zombies…

The most important change, however, would be the ground-shaking transformation outside the base after the rain.

Seeing that Su Jin had successfully leveled up, her family didn't continue playing late into the night, and they went to rest satisfied with the joy of leveling up.

The next morning, after breaking a faucet, Shi Jin excitedly discovered he seemed to have evolved a Power Element Ability!

“Tsk, can you turn off the water before getting excited? Water resources are very scarce right now,”

Yin Chengtian said, covering the still gushing faucet with his hand.

“Oh right, right, right, I'll go shut it off,” Shi Jin quickly went to look for the water valve switch.

“You stop right there!” Yin Chengtian shouted loudly.

“I'll do it, so you don't break the water valve as well,”

Yin Chengtian gestured for Shi Jin to come cover the faucet. Although plugging it with a hand wouldn't completely stop the water from gushing out, it was somewhat effective.

This villa's faucets had already been broken many times by Liao Yifan, and Liao Yifan, who had recently advanced to Level Two, had finally managed not to break any more faucets. Just when everyone thought they wouldn't need to replace faucets anymore, Shi Jin became a Power Element Ability User…

Xue Wanyi felt the same way, considering he was always the one to replace the faucets.

But everyone was still happy for Shi Jin, with Liao Yifan being the most excited, as she would finally have a comrade of the same element in the team to spar with!

“Shitou! Hurry up and train; then we can spar,”

Liao Yifan smiled with anticipation.

“Sure, sure,” Shi Jin nodded in agreement.

Yin Chengtian, who heard their conversation, shook his head. Was Shi Jin stupid? That wasn't sparring; that was just getting beaten up one-sidedly!

After freshening up in the secondary residence, Shi Jin was the first to run over to the main house to report his newfound Special Ability to Lu Hao.

“Hmm, keep practicing hard,”

Although Shi Jin had missed the first wave of leveling up, he had been eating and drinking with everyone else all this time, and all that Spatial Water wasn't consumed in vain. So, it was quite normal for him to develop an ability. But seeing the overly excited Shi Jin, Lu Hao still smiled and encouraged him.

“Yes, Captain!”

Su Jin, knowing what was to come, waved her hand and took out a row of faucets, placing them on the table; her action seemed to say, take these and break them!

Shi Jin laughed heartily.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Su Jin's home was in stark contrast to the chaos in the shanty town.

Overnight, hundreds of people in the shanty town had turned into Zombies, mostly the elderly and children with weaker resistances.

Deng Shuwei was awakened early by the shock.

The old person and a child next door had suddenly become Zombies in the middle of the night, their howling breaking the silence of the dark.

And with the tents in the shanty area having no defense to speak of, screams erupted everywhere.

Fortunately, all the lectures and practice of the past few days paid off, and many Special Ability Users and capable ordinary people confronted the sudden crisis.

Deng Shuwei joined the ranks of the Special Ability Users, fighting alongside others against those who had suddenly turned.

Dealing with the elderly Zombies was easy, but the most difficult to handle were the child Zombies; they were mostly agile and took advantage of the dark and their short stature to go unnoticed and attack many Survivors.

“Watch out for child Zombies!”

Someone shouted in the crowd.

Watching a child Zombie lunging towards her, Deng Shuwei quickly crossed her arms and conjured a metal Defense shield, the child Zombie bit onto it, and the sound of hard teeth clashing with metal startled Deng Shuwei.

She had to counterattack quickly; she couldn't die here!

In the darkness, a dozen Iron Spikes emerged from behind Deng Shuwei, thrusting towards the child Zombie's head!
