Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

In the third winter of the apocalypse, a rumor gradually spread within the S City base.

The Weapon Research Institute at the base was conducting research on the zombie virus antidote, and the raw material for the antidote was a plant cultivated by the wood element special ability users, whom the base had been actively recruiting. That plant was called: Snow Spirit Flower.

Liang Jiuhui was also aware that this secret wouldn't stay hidden for long. Fortunately, the research on the antidote was progressing smoothly, and since it was not a bad thing, he let people at the base speculate in various ways.

"Is there really going to be a zombie antidote? Where did this news come from?"

"It should be true; even the auntie delivering meals at the cafeteria mentioned it. Plus, ever since Lian Ze came back last time, he hasn't been seen since."

"Thank heavens, humanity is finally saved."

"I heard that the flowers can only reproduce with the help of wood element ability users, and currently Su Jin from the Heart Talk Team is the one cultivating the most."

"Another wood element ability user? Who would've thought."

No one expected that humanity's last hope would be so closely linked with wood element ability users.

As a result, the various wood element ability users within the base noticed that their treatment in all aspects had suddenly changed compared to before. Knowing a wood element ability user had become something to be proud of.

Even when going to the cafeteria for meals, there was always someone giving up their seat to them or offering food...

"I really want to bring a few pots back to cheer up the people at the base,"

Wei Junhao lamented as he was once again trapped in the S City base due to the snow.

"I also look forward to it, hoping that people everywhere can find happiness because of this,"

Liang Jiuhui said. Starting tomorrow, the antidote would undergo preliminary testing on mutant animals, which was a significant event for the base. He also planned to officially announce this event to the base.

So, on the afternoon of the next day, the long-unused broadcast system of the S City base came to life.

Inside was the excited and joyful voice of Liang Jiuhui, and everyone in the base listened quietly.

"Thus, the antidote developed by several great scientists has successfully completed preliminary testing on mutant animals. Animals infected with the zombie virus did not turn into zombie animals after being injected with the antidote!"

Listening to Liang Jiuhui's words, Anna cried while covering her mouth. She thought of all the classmates who had died before and the zombified companions in their team. She never imagined that an antidote that could suppress the zombie virus would actually appear.

"Don't be sad, just keep listening,"

Jian Zongzheng embraced Anna, gently comforting her.

"Our base does not wish to sacrifice any healthy people for testing, so if anyone gets injured outside the base soon, please don't give up. Please cooperate with the base to bring the injured back. We'll do our best to treat them with the antidote; we hope everyone can trust us and trust the base!"

Liang Jiuhui said.

This cold winter, though the city was not accessible due to heavy snow, wasn't without special ability users venturing outside; firstly, people were clearing snow outside the base every day, and secondly, everyone's abilities had improved significantly, with level six and seven ability users appearing one after another.

Although Lian Ze proposed live human testing, this suggestion was rejected by Liang Jiuhui as he believed it was entirely unnecessary. Even if there was just a one percent risk, he did not wish to sacrifice any survivor from the base.

Lian Ze did not persist and simply waited quietly with Tang Xue and others.

The day after Liang Jiuhui announced this, someone who had been injured fighting zombies outside the base was hurriedly brought back by their teammates.

The staff at the base gates had also received the latest orders, and the two-hour waiting time for entering the base was temporarily lifted. As soon as an injured person was reported, they would be immediately taken to a designated ward in the base hospital for treatment.

"I wonder if these people are getting injured on purpose; why are there so many injured people coming back today?"

A staff member muttered.

"Maybe... in the past, if someone got injured, they'd handle it themselves outside the base?"

Liang Jiuqing speculated.

Getting injured on purpose... isn't that a bit too fearless?

However, when she saw a man who had been hurt still smiling and joking as he was being taken away, she couldn't help but feel astonished.

Is everyone... supporting the base's research in this way?

The S City base hospital, which had been idle for a long time.

The number of people needing treatment for injuries increased significantly the next day, and in addition, many people from the base gathered around the hospital, seemingly waiting for something.

"So humanity can be so united at times like this,"

Luo Yan remarked, looking out at the people standing in the snow.

"Yes, hope is close, and everyone wants to grasp this hard-won hope,"

Lin Tianhui said, somewhat moved, and asked a few nurses to invite the people waiting outside to come in.

"If everyone wants to wait for the results, you can wait in the hospital lobby as long as you don't make a ruckus,"

Lin Tianhui smiled.

"Don't worry, Director Lin, we won't make noise; we just want to see the results, "

a woman in the crowd responded.

This is a result concerning each and every one of them...

The whole Heart Talk Team was also at the hospital. The treatment this time was simple. Su Jin watched as Lian Ze easily administered a small vial of transparent pharmaceutical products into the arm of the first injured person and couldn't help but once again admire Lian Ze's prowess.

In comparison, her own actions of eating flowers and crushing flower stems seemed a bit silly...

"Huh? Aren't they suffering? Shouldn't they be screaming in pain?"

Lin Xiuyuan asked.

"You don't know, do you? Our Lian Ze added some painkillers and anesthetics to the pharmaceutical products, which greatly reduce the pain of those being treated,"

Shi Ran said proudly.

"Since when did he become your Lian Ze?"

Moli muttered, but Lian Ze was obviously…

"Impressive, impressive, it's possible to do that, too,"

Lin Xiuyuan also agreed, acknowledging Lian Ze's remarkable skills.

Despite this, a large number of the injured still felt joint pain and discomfort, but under the effects of the anesthetic, they gradually fell asleep.

Yao Yi and a row of other surgeons carefully recorded everyone's reactions, and next to each bed was a guard squad member in place. If the antidote failed, they were ready to deal with the person on the bed immediately.

Liang Jiuhui also waited in silence.

Two hours later, a trembling hand was raised from a hospital bed, making a V sign to the surrounding onlookers.

Cheers erupted in the ward, and Lian Ze and Tang Xue also smiled.

"It really succeeded! God bless us,"

The typically non-superstitious Wei Junhao exclaimed incoherently in excitement.

Through real-life testing, all 21 of the injured that returned that day fully recovered after being injected with the zombie virus antidote.
