Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 89: Chapter 90: Xiao Wu Village

“Grandpa, are they really strong? Can they kill that monster?”

A little boy with a crew cut ran over from the next room and asked.

“Not necessarily, that monster is too fierce. We have to warn them, we can’t let it harm people anymore,”

Old Man Wu’s eyes were murky with tears, but he dared not let them fall in front of his grandson. His son and daughter-in-law had been eaten by that monster that descended from the sky, leaving only his grandson to rely on him.

There were still quite a few survivors in the village, but ever since the monster arrived, no one dared to go outside. Previously, it was only zombies, and the men in the village could kill some together, but this monster, from who knows where, not only ate zombies but also ate living people, and compared to zombies, it clearly preferred eating the living, which really added insult to injury for the village!

“Grandpa, I’ll go remind them,” the little boy said, ready to run outside.

“Hold it! If someone is to go, it should be me. You stay here!”

He was already half in the grave, and if someone had to die, it couldn’t be his only grandson.

Seeing the grandfather’s firm attitude, the young boy didn’t dare say anything further, and obediently sat on an old wooden stool, looking out the window, lost in thought.

Actually, Mao Qiqi had already noticed a rather large orange dot nearby and immediately told Su Jin.

“Uncle, drive carefully, there might be something around here,”

After Su Jin warned Mao Zhihang, he asked Lu Hao to remind the two vehicles behind them with the walkie-talkie.

“Xiao Jin, there seems to be someone waving at us ahead?” Mrs. Su Lin Tianhui from the last row said.

Mao Zhihang also saw it, it was a human, an elderly person, standing in the middle of the road, unsure of what they were doing.

“Uncle, stop for a moment,”

Instinctively, Su Jin felt the old man in front wasn’t a bad person, more like he had something to warn them about.

Su Jin rolled down the window and asked, “Old man, what’s the matter?”

“You shouldn’t go any further, there’s a monster living in the forest ahead, and it definitely eats people!”

Old Man Wu looked at the beautiful girl in front of him; such a pretty girl had never been seen in their village before, clearly someone from outside.

Su Jin nodded; she also wanted to know what kind of monster the old man was talking about, so she got out of the car.

“Old man, thank you for warning us, but what kind of monster is it?” Su Jin asked curiously.

By then, the other people from the vehicle had also gradually got out, and Old Man Wu was startled, seeing clearly a family, even including a little girl.

A family together, how nice.

Envious as he was, Old Man Wu still described the monster’s characteristics to everyone.

“What? It’s even bigger than our car?” Mrs. Su Lin Tianhui exclaimed in surprise, how big that must be.

Su Jin frowned, no wonder Qiqi had said that the orange dot was somewhat large just now, it seemed they couldn’t rashly drive past there.

“Old man, do you know how to lure the monster out?” Lu Hao also asked, his thinking aligned with Su Jin’s.

“Young folks, you aren’t possibly thinking of?” Old Man Wu was a bit surprised, these people were truly not simple.

“Yes, rather than being ambushed by the monster, we might as well subdue it together,” Su Jin answered.

Old Man Wu sighed and said, “To lure it out is very simple; it’ll appear not long after it smells humans outside.”

“Then we can just wait here,” Lin Xiuyuan said as he sat down on the ground. He was actually eager to see the monster the old man was talking about.

“Aren’t you afraid?”

A juvenile voice came from behind the old man; it was the little boy from earlier.

“Dogzi, didn’t I tell you not to come out? How did you come out again?” Old Man Wu was very angry.

The little boy lowered his head and remained silent, just somewhat worried about his grandfather.

“Old man, thank you for the warning. Why don’t you and the youngster go inside to take cover while we see if we can wait for the monster here?”

Su Jin could see that the old man was concerned about the child’s safety, and it truly wasn’t safe for them to remain there.

“Alright, alright, be careful,”

Old Man Wu led the little boy back into the house.

The little boy, barefoot, climbed to the window and curiously watched the people outside. Really, are there people who aren’t afraid of monsters?

“Qiqi, has the orange dot you saw been moving towards us?” Su Jin asked, guessing that this “monster” could possibly be something like a mutant animal, similar to that Golden Python.

“No, it hasn’t moved, and it isn’t very close to us either,” Mao Qiqi replied.

“Alright, we’ll just rest here for now. If it doesn’t come before nightfall, we can also just stay in the village tonight,”

Su Jin said to everyone. She had discussed this with everyone before that on the way to S-city, to ensure everyone’s safety, they should try not to travel by night.
