Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Su Jin also didn't know what kind of luck they had, but they managed to return to the S City base precisely one day before winter arrived.

"It's been less than a whole night..."

Liao Yifan stood by the window, looking at the courtyard and walls outside covered with a thick layer of snow. Is it another harsh winter...

"Ah-choo!!"

The door to the courtyard opened, and Kou Ning, with a few snowflakes on his head, walked in.

"It's still warmer inside..."

Kou Ning squinted his eyes, comfortably feeling the warmth coming from inside. Although he was a special ability user, living in a completely ice-cold small house still made him feel variously empty and lonely.

"..."

Su Jin looked at Lu Hao and smiled helplessly.

"There's still a vacant room in the deputy house, if you don't mind, you can pick one and move in,"

Lu Hao said.

Kou Ning's belonging problem had never been resolved. He was unwilling to serve the base and didn't want to join any team, so Su Jin and Lu Hao let him stay in the Heart Talk Team's courtyard as a guest. Now it's uncertain if Kou Ning understood what Lu Hao meant by this.

Moving into the deputy house was the same as joining the Heart Talk Team.

However, clever as Kou Ning was, hearing Lu Hao's words and seeing everyone looking at him with interest, he took a deep breath and replied:

"I don't mind, if you're all welcoming me,"

"Of course, you're welcome, previously you insisted on living in our courtyard,"

Lin Xiuyuan laughed.

"Kou Ning, I want to make it clear, do you really want to join our Heart Talk Team and become one of us?"

Su Jin asked. As the captain of the Heart Talk Team, she couldn't let this matter be ambiguous.

"I am willing to join the Heart Talk Team and become one of you,"

Kou Ning replied seriously once again.

He almost came to the villa every day for meals and was already familiar with the Heart Talk Team's way of interacting. Honestly speaking, it was more like the relationship of family and friends than any team he had seen before.

Interpersonal relationships and hierarchy didn't exist at all.

And with such delicious food, he really couldn't find a reason not to join.

"Alright, since you are willing to join, then in future you'll have to follow the rules of our Heart Talk Team,"

Lu Hao stated.

"As far as I know, your Heart Talk Team seems to have no rules at all,"

Kou Ning asked suspiciously. This bunch of people dined and lived together every day, where was there any rule? Could it be something like cleaning?

"How could it be possible, our rules are very strict, if one accidentally breaks them, it'll be like..."

Guo Yang made a gesture across his neck implying death, looking at Kou Ning with a sinister smile.

"...Don't scare me,"

Kou Ning was truly scared because, at this moment, even Local Tyrant Gold seemed to be looking at him with a mischievous smile.

"Kou Ning, you've eaten with us for so long and followed us to so many places, haven't you discovered anything?"

Su Jin asked.

"I have discovered that your meals are particularly delicious and there is a lot of food,"

After answering, Kou Ning looked at Su Jin with a puzzled expression, wondering if this rule had something to do with the food. He had better listen carefully.

"See, I told you, no one would ever imagine such a thing,"

Yin Chengtian also said.

Seeing Kou Ning with a face full of questions, Su Jin explained the preservation function of her space ability, and Kou Ning's mouth immediately formed an O shape.

"I knew it!! I knew it!!"

He had wondered why Su Jin could always bring out so much ready-made food! Those expired snacks tasted as fresh as new ones, turns out the things in Su Jin's space wouldn't expire?!

"Uh-huh, so the only rule of our Heart Talk Team is to keep the function of my space a secret,"

Su Jin stated, honestly believing that even if the preservation function of her space was known by outsiders, nobody could do anything to their Heart Talk Team. But since it was such a miraculous thing, it's better kept secret.

"I thought it was something big, turned out to be so simple. Rest assured, in exchange for my stomach for the rest of my life, I wouldn't say anything even for ten thousand pounds of beef!"

Kou Ning promised with food.

Pfft~

The whole family laughed, and they also believed Kou Ning wouldn't spill the secret. After all, dealing with smart people saved a lot of trouble.

"I believe you won't say anything,"

Lu Hao said.

"No wonder you guys keep collecting crystal cores, turns out it's for this. Don't worry, from now on my crystal cores are everyone's crystal cores, I will contribute them all to the space!"

Kou Ning said. Knowing Su Jin's space could preserve freshness at the cost of crystal cores, in his view, it wasn't something incredible. Instead, knowing made the Heart Talk Team even more appealing to him.

And most importantly, in the third year of the apocalypse, Kou Ning finally found a place he belonged to...

After sharing this secret with Kou Ning, the whole family, including Guo Yang and others, felt much more at ease. They no longer had to tiptoe around, even speaking more freely.

The sudden hit of winter didn't throw the people at the base into chaos. After experiencing it once, Liang Jiuhui followed the previously made plan, and the heating started operating early the next morning.

"The zombie corpses we collected for so long finally came into use, it was worth it for our ice-element ability users to consume so much ability every day,"

Temporarily unable to go out, Li Haochu looked outside and said.

"Well, how's the situation at Zian's place?"

Liang Jiuhui asked the few people below him.

"The insulation work at Lian Ze's area is in place, and now the temperature in his operation area is maintained at around 27 degrees,"

Shao Zian replied.

"That's good. We need to be more considerate towards the experts at the research institute to ensure the research goes smoothly,"

Liang Jiuhui said.

For the temperature maintenance of the Snow Spirit Flower plantation base, Liang Jiuhui and Su Jin researched for several days before discovering that even in a low-temperature environment, the growth of the Snow Spirit Flower was entirely unaffected.

"When we found it, the surroundings were covered with snow and ice, so I don't think we need to worry about that aspect,"

Su Jin didn't know why the growth of the Snow Spirit Flower was unaffected by temperature, but this was good news, as it meant fewer restrictions.

"Hmm, these past few days I've been afraid to disturb Lian Ze and Tang Xue, they've fully immersed themselves in the production of the antidote,"

Liang Jiuhui indicated, the only thing they could do now was to ensure the Snow Spirit Flower grew well.

And inside the plantation base, after trying the experience Su Jin had summarized, the wood element ability users indeed found that the catalysis of the Snow Spirit Flower was slightly faster than before.

Su Jin also gave the plantation base 30 Snow Spirit Flowers, and after sending out so many, there were still over six hundred in her space.

This winter ending may just be the beginning of something else.

Looking at the sky outside still snowing, Su Jin couldn't help but think.
