Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 81: Ice and Fire Dual RealmsThe door was banged with a sound that shook the heavens.
Su Xiangmei was actually somewhat intimidated by the Lin family, and this time her approach was even less justified.
“What’s there to fear? Maybe this whole family turned into zombies and died off, and we’re just here to clean up for them,” Big Boss Guo said without any reservation.
Indeed, no one has answered the door for so long; could it be that the Lin family really…
At this thought, Su Xiangmei didn’t know whether she felt happy or somewhat disappointed—she hadn’t recovered her losses on her previous two attempts yet.
The door was opened by Su Xiangzhe, who had just overheard the conversation of Su Xiangmei and the others. He was so angry that he almost died of rage—he wished he could kill his own sister for saying they were there to clean up for them!
The whole family stood in the courtyard, looking at the ragtag bunch outside dressed like thugs and gangsters, and Su Xiangmei was among them?
Looking at the family before her, aside from two elderly people, everyone else was present?
Jealousy twisted in Su Xiangmei’s heart. Even at a time like this, this family was all safe and sound here, and the scent of food wafting from the house even hinted at rice and meat. And Lin Tianhui even looked younger than before, her complexion was positively radiant.
“Big brother, you’re living so well, I’ve brought Xiao Hui to borrow some food!”Su Xiangmei didn’t think there was anything excessive about what she said; on the contrary, she felt like the family owed her.
“Who gave you the nerve to come here with this rabble? You think I’m dead or what?!” Su Xiangzhe’s chest heaved with anger, it was clear he was utterly furious.
Su Jin quickly pulled Su Xiangzhe back.
“Dad, don’t bother with it, leave it to us,”
Su Jin said to Su Xiangzhe. Although she was also infuriated, she was more eager to stand up for her father.
“Su Xiangmei, you’ve already severed ties with our family. Why should we lend you any food?” Su Jin said bluntly.
“Look at you, girl, raising all these outsiders without even sparing a thought for your aunt and cousin. What kind of behavior is this!”
Su Xiangmei spoke with righteous indignation.
“I don’t have an aunt like you, and besides, these are our comrades who have shared life and death with us. Compared with them, do you think you measure up?”
Su Jin raised an eyebrow and spoke without any politeness.
The group of “outsiders” behind her felt a great sense of contentment listening to this—they were teammates, bonded by life and death, they were all one of ‘us’!
“Su Jin, I brought people here, where are the supplies from the warehouse? Hand them over quickly!”
Luo Hui felt arguing with his sharp-tongued cousin was completely hopeless and bluntly made his demand.
“So you all went to that warehouse and came back empty-handed? Hahahaha, that’s hilarious!”
Lin Xiuyuan laughed uproariously from behind. The supplies from that warehouse had long been taken by Su Jin, and as expected, Su Xiangmei had really set her sights on it.
“So you really did take the supplies! Hand them over, or I’ll just take them by force!” Big Boss Guo shouted.
“Xiao Jin, why bother talking to them? Just throw them out,”
Mrs. Su Lin Tianhui almost laughed in anger upon hearing Su Xiangmei—it was her first time meeting someone so shameless.
“Just with you lot? I’ll slap you…,” Big Boss Guo didn’t finish his sentence when he suddenly felt a figure flash by, followed by a heavy punch that sent him flying into the wall.
Lu Hao looked expressionlessly at Su Xiangmei and the group of ragtags behind her; Su Xiangmei was so scared she didn’t dare say a word.
“Well, do you still want the supplies?” Su Jin asked with a smile.
“Damn it, how dare you sneak attack me! Attack them, boys!” Big Boss Guo, clutching his chest, ordered his subordinates.
The seven or eight men, ready to charge, found themselves completely immobile, looking down to see their feet frozen to the ground!
What’s going on?
“Tsk tsk, with just you lot, you dare to try and rob us?”
Lin Xiuyuan stepped forward, having disliked Su Xiangmei for a long time. He didn’t expect she was still alive and had delivered herself right to their door.
“What’s happening?!”
Luo Hui looked at the ice beneath his feet, trying desperately to break free but to no avail.
“Son, let me handle this. I’ve been looking for some practice lately!”
Huang Yunxiang also stepped forward, thinking that someone dared to steal their family’s possessions was unthinkable.
Huang Yunxiang unleashed her Water Element Ability, and two water columns blasted toward the group across from her, drenching each person like drowned chickens.
Next, Lin Xiuyuan used his Ice-Element Special Abilities to turn all the water on them into ice. This was a new tactic he and his mother had recently devised. It was much faster than Lin Xiuyuan forming ice directly, and it hardly consumed his Special Ability. As it turned out, the effects were quite satisfactory.
Of course, Su Xiangmei didn’t escape this fate either; trembling with cold, she found herself unable to move. Watching the family opposite her laugh at her misfortune, she felt like grinding her teeth to dust.
“Lu Hao, send them away,” Su Jin commanded.
Send them away?
Which kind of sending away?
The troublemakers watched the family opposite them with horror. Lu Hao swung his hands, and everyone caught fire. The solid ice melted into water, and the inextinguishable flames outside had them shouting as they ran out one after another.
“Hahahahaha…” The people inside the door laughed until tears flowed, whereas the group outside was in bitter torment. Why did they come here to suffer this indignity? It was all Luo Hui’s mother’s fault!
“Lu Hao, will they be burned to death?” Su Jin asked.
“No, it’ll extinguish soon.”
He had learned to control the burn time of his Special Ability Fire. Although he couldn’t control it precisely, he could generally manage it.
In fact, it was quite simple, depending on the amount of Special Ability he poured into the fire: the fire would extinguish once the Special Ability was exhausted. This conclusion had come from days of continuous combat practice.
