Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Kidnapped

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Kidnapped

“Let her go, and I’ll come with you,”

Su Jin clenched her fists as she spoke, her anger unprecedented, yet knowing that even with her lightning-fast special ability, she couldn’t guarantee to rescue her grandmother unharmed.

Both Huang Yunxiang and Lin Yunguo by her side were also filled with fury, but including other special ability users within the courtyard wanting to save Li Xiuying, none dared to act rashly.

Zhang Anguo was holding Li Xiuying by the neck with his arm and pointed a handgun at her head, yet what surprised him was that the old lady did not panic at all, she was extremely composed, in fact.

“Fine, as long as you behave, I won’t hurt any of you right now,”

Zhang Anguo said with a smile. Behind him, his accomplices, following Zhang Anguo’s cue, brought out several handcuffs and immediately cuffed Su Jin and Huang Yunxiang along with the others.

Zhang Anguo didn’t detain Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo either, instead, he used his gun to force the four to follow them out of the courtyard.

These people were all potential leverage against Zhang Xiaohong in the future.

Many special ability users queuing up glared at them angrily, but seeing the guns pressed against the waists of Zhang Xiaohong and the others, they didn’t dare to make any moves and could only watch helplessly as Zhang Anguo took those few away.

“Quick, go find Chen Daming,”

Some of the ability users inside the complex who had just purchased supplies came to their senses. Chen Daming’s demonstration of his Fire Element Ability that morning had left a deep impression; he was very powerful!

Su Jin and the others were taken to a place called D City Base Management.

This place was a five-story white building, and they were brought into a luxuriously decorated room filled with smoke, the pungent odor making Huang Yunxiang cough uncontrollably.

Su Jin gave a calm and reassuring look to the three with her; she would act according to the situation.

“Colonel, this is Zhang Xiaohong. We have successfully captured her,”

Zhang Anguo whispered in Colonel Yuan’s ear as he leaned over.

The leather swivel chair turned around, and a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth stood up to look at Su Jin. So this was the country girl? She seemed exceedingly ordinary, but who could ignore someone with supplies.

“Anguo, why are you cuffing this young girl? Oh! And there’s an old man and an old lady here too. Miss Zhang will surely cooperate with us in the future; you’re being too impolite like this, wouldn’t you say, Miss Zhang?”

Yuan Hongying spoke with the tone of a mediator, although he addressed Zhang Anguo, his gaze stayed fixed on Su Jin.

Su Jin didn’t speak, but Zhang Anguo indeed ordered their handcuffs to be unlocked.

Zhang Xiaohong was merely a Space Element Ability User with no real combat power. And there were two old people; Huang Yunxiang was even less of a concern to them.

“Cooperation is easy, as long as you’re willing to provide Crystal Cores,”

Su Jin stood in front of her family, showing no fear as she spoke.

“Hahaha, you should have agreed earlier,”

Yuan Hongying removed the cigarette from his mouth, speaking contentedly.

“Colonel, I will head to the city gate first. These folks…”

Gunshots from the base’s city gate could still be heard in the room; Zhang Anguo, seeing that things were settled here, prepared to check on the situation there.

“Just take Miss Zhang and the others to the third-floor resting room for now; these ungrateful lot, I provide them a place to stay, and they’re complaining I don’t feed them too?! They deserve to die,”

In front of everyone, Yuan Hongying angrily said.

Zhang Anguo nodded, had Su Jin and the others taken downstairs, and then led a team towards the upstairs armory.

No matter the era, one has power with weapons. How about ability users? Even their speed is not as deadly as their bullets.

Su Jin and the others were taken to the so-called resting room which, unlike the previous room’s lavish decor, only had a few simple chairs and tables. It seemed more like a place for holding people under house arrest.

But as long as she was together with her family, she feared nothing.

“Grandma, are you alright?”

Only after the door was locked from the outside did Su Jin ask with a delayed sense of fear.

“It’s alright, how could I not know? What they want is your supplies, they won’t dare hurt me for now, see, I’m perfectly fine,”

Li Xiuying ended up comforting Su Jin instead.

“Mom, you scared me to death just now, those damned bastards,”

Huang Yunxiang was so angry she wanted to smash the table. She wished she could tear this place apart right now.

“As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters,”

Lin Yunguo said, holding Li Xiuying’s hand. When his spouse had a gun pointed at her, he felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest. Thankfully, she was alright, which was a huge relief in hindsight.

Su Jin walked around the room and indeed found a surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling. Huang Yunxiang gave Su Jin a nod, then summoned a Water Arrow and destroyed the camera.

“Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, please go inside first,”

Su Jin said. She didn’t want to get too involved with this base’s affairs but what had just happened really made her furious. These people had crossed the line.

“Xiao Jin, I’m with you,”

Huang Yunxiang said, seething with anger. She wanted to give those who had held guns to their heads a good beating.

Su Jin nodded, and Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo simply instructed them a few words before they stepped into the corner behind the door and flashed into the space.

At this moment, having received the news, Lin Cheng also entered the space and was relieved to see the elderly couple unharmed.

“Mom, Dad, you almost scared us to death. Where are Xiao Jin and the others?”

When Lin Cheng and the others had heard that someone had reported Zhang Anguo holding a gun to the old lady’s head at the entrance, they were panicked. Although Lu Hao had calmly asked Lin Cheng to go in and wait for news, he also hurried to the base as fast as he could.

“It’s okay, we’re both uninjured. Xiao Jin and Yunxiang are still outside, they just locked us up temporarily,”

Li Xiuying explained the situation to Lin Cheng again, who didn’t say much after but quickly flashed back out of the space.

“Did Xiao Cheng’s face return to normal just now?”

Li Xiuying asked Lin Yunguo.

“Good heavens, indeed, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed. Today is exactly the third day since we entered the base,”

Lin Yunguo said, slapping his thigh, yet they didn’t dare leave the space, hoping that the family outside would realize the issue with the Face-changing pill.

Outside the space, Su Jin destroyed the locked window, making it look as if someone had escaped through it. Any explanation, no matter how far-fetched, would prevent people from suspecting the existence of the space.

Controlling her Wood Element Ability, Su Jin also opened the door that had been locked from the outside.

The exposure of a Wood Element Ability User within these walls didn’t bother her anymore.

Dead men tell no tales, after all…

It didn’t take long for people in the corridor to notice Su Jin and Huang Yunxiang. They instinctively raised their guns and aimed at the two, especially since Huang Yunxiang was holding a long Watermelon Knife. Even though they had never seen these two before, it was clear that they meant no good.

“Who are you?! What are you doing here?”

A man in uniform shouted at the two women.

“We’re your grandmas!”

Huang Yunxiang cursed, pointing at the nose of the man in front. Didn’t recognize them after just having tied them up?

“Aunt, has my face also returned to normal?”

Su Jin suddenly realized this and asked Huang Yunxiang in a soft voice.

“Oh my, it has, today’s the third day,”

Huang Yunxiang said, her eyes wide with realization.

However, Su Jin just smiled. If that was the case, then it was perfect timing.
