Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: JR Farm-Stay 1
“Brother Chenxuan, this place is the JR Farm-stay.” Qin Wu said in an incredulous voice.

The JR Farm-stay was a popular tourist destination.

It had a one-hundred-acre orchard, one hundred acres of farmland, and another one hundred acres for rearing livestock.

In peacetime, the farm-stay was a nature paradise.

However, in the apocalypse, it was a death trap.

If the plants didn’t wither after the black rain, they had become mutated monstrosities. Similarly, the thousands of livestock had either turned into zombies or mutant beasts.

Thinking of this, the other three couldn’t help but be a little afraid.

“Are you afraid?” Mo Chenxuan asked, his lips curled in a smile.

“Is it really okay to go to a place like that?” Lin Rongrong asked.

“Brother Chenxuan, why do you want to go to this Farm stay?” Qin Wu asked with a solemn look.

“First, the JR Farm-stay is a popular destination and has many resources. We will be able to collect many supplies from there if we are lucky.”

“Second, we are too weak.” Mo Chenxuan sighed.

Now that Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong had become teammates, Mo Chenxuan had to help them improve their strength.

After thinking about it, he felt the Farm-stay was a good opportunity.

He expected that after a few days of training, Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong would advance to level one while Qin Wu would advance to level two.

‘Also…’ Mo Chenxuan narrowed his eyes.

Other than training, Mo Chenxuan was eyeing the orchard.

If they were lucky, they would get some beneficial mutated fruits.

However, Mo Chenxuan didn’t mention this to the rest.

After all, there was no guarantee they would get what they wanted.

“It’s up to you to decide whether you want to go.” The man said.

“I will go.” Qin Wu raised her hand to emphasise her point.

Although she felt the farm Stay was dangerous, Qin Wu trusted Mo Chenxuan.

Since Mo Chenxuan was determined to go there, Qin Wu would naturally follow him.

“We will also go.” Xu Fei said, and Lin Rongrong nodded.

“Okay. Get in the cars.”

Soon after, the two cars drove out of the Royal Gold Academy.

While leaving, they heard guard fire and assumed the army was still dealing with the zombies.

However, this no longer had anything to do with them, so they didn’t bother.

In the car, Qin Wu looked at Mo Chenxuan.

“Why do you really want to go to the Farm-Stay?” She asked, and Mo Chenxuan chuckled in amusement.

“How do you know I have an ulterior motive?”

“Don’t I know you?” Qin Wu rolled her eyes.

“You are right. I do have an ulterior motive.” Mo Chenxuan said and began explaining.

“You also know that mutated beast meat, mutated vegetables, and mutated fruits are good things for superpowers. There is a likelihood of finding all three in the Farm-stay, and I don’t want to miss the opportunity.”

“We will probably find some edible mutated beasts, but it’s hard to say about vegetables and fruits.” Qin Wu frowned, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

“It’s why I didn’t mention it to Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong.”

“Mutated beasts are more powerful than zombies, and their crystal cores have more energy. It would be good if we can get a few.”

“My thoughts exactly.” Mo Chenxuan nodded.

…..

In the other car, Lin Rongrong couldn’t help but frown.

“Are you unconvinced?” Xu Fei asked.

“I just think it’s too dangerous.”

“Rongrong, we can’t be one foot in and one foot out. Since we have decided to follow Mo Chenxuan, we should give him some basic trust. Although I don’t know him very well, I know he is not a reckless person. He wouldn’t ask us to go to the Farm-Stay if he didn’t have a plan.”

“You are right.” Lin Rongrong agreed but soon continued with a wry smile.

“He may ask us, but he would never let Qin Wu fall into danger.” She said, and Xu Fei couldn’t help but smile.

“Xu Fei, do you think Mr Mo is a level one superpower?”

“I am afraid not.” Xu Fei shook his head.

The apocalypse had just started, and they didn’t know enough.

However, they read the apocalypse post and had a basic understanding of zombie and superpower levels.

Based on the flyover incident, Xu Fei suspected Mo Chenxuan was at least a level-two superpower.

“How come people are so different?” Lin Rongrong sighed with a longing expression.

“Don’t worry. We will also become strong.”

Before the apocalypse, the distance between the Royal Gold Academy and the JR Farm-stay was only a thirty-minute drive.

However, this distance was endlessly magnified during the apocalypse.

Fortunately, because the Farm-stay was relatively remote, the roads were not too blocked.

After half a day of struggle, the two cars arrived at the Farm-Stay at two in the afternoon.

When the front car stopped, the second also stopped, and four people exited the vehicles.

Looking at the Farm-stay gate, Mo Chenxuan narrowed his eyes.

Even before they arrived, he spread his spiritual power to investigate the situation of the Farm-stay.

The result was expected.

Considering that, he wanted everyone to rest before they entered the Farm-Stay.

“Let’s have lunch first.” Mo Chenxuan said, and Qin Wu set a table.

After everyone settled, Mo Chenxuan explained the situation.

“There are at least one thousand zombie and mutated beasts in the Farm-stay.” He said, and Lin Rongrong raised an eyebrow in question.

After all, they had just arrived.

How could Mo Chenxuan already know the situation?

“I am a dual superpower. I have the lightning superpower and visual enhancement.” Mo Chenxuan said in way of explanation.

After thinking about it, he felt he couldn’t hide his extraordinary awareness of their surroundings.

Knowing that, he bent the truth and said he was visually enhanced.

Although a dual superpower was also shocking, visual enhancement wasn’t as threatening as spiritual power.

“So Mr. Mo is also a visually enhanced superpower?” Lin Rongrong couldn’t help but admire the person.

‘As expected of Mr Mo.’ Xu Fei thought, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

“Brother Chenxuan, are there survivors?” Qin Wu cleverly changed the subject.

“No survivors.” Mo Chenxuan shook his head before he continued.

“Our first goal is the main house. The house is not too far from the gate, and there aren’t many zombies along the way. Once we reach the house, we will secure it for the night. Everything else will come after.”

“How far are the mutated and zombie beasts from the house?” Xu Fei asked.

“Most of the livestock are still trapped in their sheds and can’t come out to harm us. Don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Lin Rongrong sighed in relief.

“Are there any plants near the house?” Qin Wu asked, and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

“There is a bougainvillaea hedge around the house, and one wall has common ivy. ”

“Those are not too many. We can probably deal with them before nightfall.” Qin Wu said, and the others agreed.

“Plants, including mutated plants are most afraid of fire. My lightning ability is very useful against plants.” Mo Chenxuan started, and the four discussed a plan while eating lunch.

Thirty minutes later, Qin Wu collected the cars, and the four entered the Farm Stay.

“What a waste.” Lin Rongrong commented as soon as they entered the gate.

Originally, the Farm-stay was a paradise of green plant and red flowers.

At this time, most of the plants had withered, and the farm-stay had a desert-like appearance.

“It’s really a waste.” Qin Wu agreed.

“Stay alert.” Mo Chenxuan reminded, and everyone focused on the zombies that were staggering towards them.

At a glance, the zombies were dressed in expensive pyjamas and wore sandals or slippers on their feet.

“They were probably guests in the farm-stay.” Qin Wu muttered but didn’t delay her killing.

Before the zombies approached her, she rushed forward with a sword in hand.

A moment later, the sword glowed subtle silver and directly sliced through the zombie’s neck.

However, Qin Wu didn’t linger or stop to collect the crystal core.

Instead, she rushed to the next zombie and sliced again.

Seeing this, Lin Rongrong and Xu Fei didn’t want to fall behind.

Xu Fei materialised a sword and handed it to Lin Rongrong.

After that, he created another sword and soon rushed into the battle.

Unlike the other three, Mo Chenxuan didn’t rush forward but instead watched the team’s rear.

After all, he was already a level-two superpower.

With his current power, it wasn’t difficult to kill level-one zombies so he decisively left the opportunity to his team.

However, he wasn’t idle.

Since he didn’t participate in the battle, he took the chance to observe his team and note their shortcoming.

‘Lin Rongrong is not agile enough, and her physical strength is a little lacking.’ He thought before shifting his focus to Xu Fei.

‘He is agile, but his attacks are also lacking in power.’ Mo Chenxuan frowned.
