Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Team Overlord
At eight in the morning the following day, a convoy of three cars left the base.

In the first car was Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu, Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong in the second, and Lu Hao, Lu Yanyan, and Xiao Junxie in the third.

At this time, Qin Wu suddenly looked at Mo Chenxuan and sighed.

“What’s wrong?” The man asked.

“It would be good if we can achieve everything we want during this trip.” Qin Wu said.

If everything went well, the team ranking would not only enter tier A but they would also obtain an arsenal.

That way, she and Mo Chenxuan could take a rest and not have to leave the base until the oil refinery mission.

Thinking of this, Qin Wu blushed a little.

She was really looking forward to spending more leisure time with Mo Chenxuan.

“Don’t worry. We will achieve it.” Mo Chenxuan said and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, he stretched his hand and rubbed his woman’s hair.

“Okay, I…” Qin Wu started but suddenly narrowed her eyes.

“Brother Chenxuan, do you think those cars are following us?” She asked, looking at the rearview mirror.

“Mmh.” The man nodded with a solemn expression.

“Did you know?”

“I noticed them when we left the base.” Mo Chenxuan started and quickly continued.

“I originally thought we were going the same way and didn’t take them to heart. However, they kept following us and I used my spiritual ability to spy on them.”

“Who are they?”

“Team Overlord.”

Qin Wu froze when she heard that.

She noticed Xuanyuan Yi when she and Mo Chenxuan left the mission hall.

However, she suppressed her unease and acted like she didn’t know the person.

Unexpectedly, she still didn’t escape Xuanyuan Yi’s detection.

“Brother Chenxuan…” Qin Wu sighed and reached over to rub the back of Mo Chenxuan’s hand.

“He can’t die for the time being.”

“Reason?” Mo Chenxuan asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.

“Whether we like it or not, Xuanyuan Yi is a linchpin in base B. If we pull him out, the base will fall into chaos and a lot of things we don’t want to see will happen.” Qin Wu said.

Mo Chenxuan obviously knew this.

However, he was unwilling to let Xuanyuan Yi go; even temporarily.

After all, Xuanyuan Yi was one of the reasons Qin Wu died in her previous life.

That said, he and Qin Wu were not righteous but they were also not evil.

Knowing that Xuanyuan Yi was a pivotal part of base B, they couldn’t kill him without a plan for calming the chaos.

“Brother Chenxuan, in fact, I don’t want to kill him too early.”

Mo Chenxuan turned when he heard that.

“What do you mean?”

“Xuanyuan Yi has a complex about you.” Qin Wu chuckled.

In her previous life, the Qin family forcibly arranged her marriage to Xuanyuan Yi.

Although Qin Wu resisted and eventually didn’t get married, she spent a lot of time with Xuanyuan Yi.

It was during that time that she realised that Xuanyuan Yi had an inferiority complex about Mo Chenxuan.

This time, Qin Wu planned to make Xuanyuan Yi’s nightmares come true.

Since the man was most afraid of losing everything to Mo Chenxuan, Qin Wu wanted to make his nightmare come true.

‘Some things are worse than death. Xuanyuan Yi, I will help you experience a fate worse than death.’ She thought.

“What’s your plan?” Mo Chenxuan asked.

“I want you to take everything from him.” Qin Wu said, her lips curled in a mischievous smile.

“Okay.” Mo Chenxuan also smiled before continuing.

“Your wish is my command, madam.”

With that, the atmosphere lightened and the two focused on the Team Overlord’s cars.

“It will be hard to act if they keep following us.” Qin Wu couldn’t help but frown.

At the moment, everyone thought Xuanyuan Yi was the most powerful superpower in the base.

Because they wanted to preserve that illusion for the time being, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu didn’t want outsiders to know about them.

“We can probably afford to keep our hands when completing the supplementary tasks. However, the Pine Fresh task…”

“I know.” Mo Chenxuan nodded with a solemn expression.

In their estimate, they would face more than one hundred foetus zombies.

No matter how he thought about it, Mo Chenxuan didn’t see how they could complete the mission without going all out.

Even if he only used his lightning ability and didn’t reveal his spiritual power, fire ability, and earth ability, he wouldn’t be able to hide his level.

‘How inconvenient.’ He thought.

“Maybe something will happen along the way.” Qin Wu consoled herself.

In the first half of the day, the team didn’t encounter any hordes or hard-to-deal-with zombies.

When lunch hour came, the three cars parked outside a former butchery and went inside.

“Brother Mo, the cars behind are following us.” Lu Hao said as soon as the team settled down.

“We know. Don’t mind them for the time being.” Mo Chenxuan said.

“The cars belong to Team Overlord.” Xiao Junxie said with a solemn expression.

“What do you know about team Overlord?” Qin Wu asked.

Although uncle Zhang had investigated the famous teams, Qin Wu still wanted to hear the army’s perspective of team Overlord.

“Its captain is Xuanyuan Yi, the son of the president.” Xiao Junxie started and quickly continued.

“Xuanyuan Yi has a mutated fire ability. He advances very fast and his fire is extremely powerful. He is currently at the late stage of level two.”

‘This tracks with what we already know.’ Qin Wu thought and gestured for Xiao Junxie to continue.

“The deputy captain is Song Feng and he has the earth ability. Although his ability is inferior to Xuanyuan Yi, he is diligent and his superpower has already reached level two. I think he is at the early stage of level two.”

“In addition to Xuanyuan Yi and Song Feng who have elemental powers, there is also Lin Siting, Murong Xue, and Zhou Huan. Lin Siting has the wood ability, Murong Xue has the water ability, and Zhou Huan is a metal superpower. Murong Xue is at the peak of level one while the other two are the late stage of level one.”

“Xuanyuan Yi, Song Feng, Lin Siting, Murong Xue, and Zhou Huan are the most well-known members of team Overlord. However, the others should not be underestimated. As far as I know, the team has three space superpowers, a healer, and another ten members with different physical enhancements including a speed star.”

“Three space superpowers? A healer?” Lin Rongrong couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Xuanyuan Yi is the most powerful superpower in the base. It’s not strange that he has collected so many talents.” Xiao Junxie sighed.

“Is he so powerful that other forces allow him to monopolise a healer and three space superpowers?” Lin Rongrong continued to question.

“He probably couldn’t keep the healer and the space ability users if he was just relying on his superpower level. However, his father is the leader of the base, his paternal family is the Xuanyuan clan and his maternal support is the Wei clan. Few would dare go against that background.”

“Makes sense.” Lin Rongrong said and a hint of self-mockery flashed in her eyes.

Before the apocalypse, she also had a powerful background and was a good match for Xu Fei.

Unfortunately, the Lin family wasn’t lucky and most died in the early days of the apocalypse.

At the moment, Lin Rongrong was in a situation where she was married to Xu Fei but the Xu family felt she wasn’t good enough for their son.

If Xu Fei didn’t insist on staying married to her, the Xu family would have already split them apart and forced Xu Fei to marry a woman who could add value to the family.

‘Background.’ Lin Rongrong sighed.

At the moment, her most powerful background was team Legends.

Unfortunately, their team was new and they hadn’t gained a foothold in the city B base.

Until they did, the Xu family would probably not stop eyeing her marriage with Xu Fei.

“Let’s eat.” Qin Wu said, suddenly distracting Lin Rongrong from her thoughts.

“Sister Qin, what are we going to eat?” Lu Yanyan asked with a greedy look.

Seeing this, Qin Wu chuckled and looked at the little girl with a teasing smile.

“What does Yanyan want to eat? We will eat whatever Yanyan wants.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Yanyan wants curry rice.”

Lu Hao was shocked when he heard that and he looked at Qin Wu with an apologetic smile.

After all, this was the apocalypse.

Where did Yanyan expect Qin Wu to get curry rice from?

However, Lu Hao underestimated Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan’s resources.

“As it happens, aunt Zhang made a new batch of curry rice last night.” Qin Wu said and waved her hand.

A moment later, plates of warm curry rice appeared in front of everyone.
