Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

While they had been watching the battle, Mao Zhihang had been analyzing with Lin Tianzhen how to be steady, accurate, and ruthless. Lin Tianzhen had taken it all in; hence, she seemed to be doing slightly better than Lin Tianhui.

In fact, that was indeed the case. Although Lin Tianzhen seemed delicate, she was also the steadiest of them all.

She concentrated all her strength into the hands holding the knife handle, as Mao Zhihang had taught her, and chopped forcefully at the zombie in front of her.

Thanks to over half a month of training, and the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the struck zombie fell to the ground instantly!

“Wow, Mommy is so awesome,”

Mao Qiqi’s clapping and cheerful voice came from behind.

There was one zombie left in the yard now, and the only one who hadn’t made a move was the little child, Mao Qiqi.

Lin Tianzhen couldn’t bear to let such a small child do such bloody work, and Mao Zhihang didn’t want his child to face these things either. She was still too young.

Su Jin took out a beautiful folding knife from her hand and handed it to Mao Qiqi; she had bought this knife from Glasses Man at the exhibition and had felt it was very suitable for Mao Qiqi.

“Wow, Sister Xiao Jin, this knife is so pretty, it’s like a seashell,” Mao Qiqi said, unable to put down the knife.

“This knife is called the Mother-of-Pearl Folding Knife, Qiqi. If you like it, it’s yours,” Su Jin stroked her head.

“Really, can you give it to me?” Mao Qiqi asked shyly.

“Mm, if you go with your sister and we kill that monster, I’ll give it to you,” Su Jin said.

To their surprise, Mao Qiqi didn’t hesitate at all and immediately replied, “Okay!”

“Xiao Jin…” Lin Tianzhen looked worriedly at Su Jin.

Su Jin patted her aunt’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, Auntie, I won’t let Qiqi get hurt. Sooner or later, she’ll have to face this, okay?”

Lin Tianzhen nodded, hugged her daughter, and Mao Zhihang, somewhat choked up, crouched down to hug his precious daughter and said, “Keep it up, Mommy and Daddy are cheering for you!”

“Mm, I’m not scared. I’ll be awesome like Sister Xiao Jin one day,” Mao Qiqi said with a serious face.

Seeing her not scared at all, even Nie Qing and Lu Guanhai praised her bravery. No one had expected such a small child to have this courage. After all, even for them as adults, killing a zombie had been hard to accept at first.

In truth, Su Jin hadn’t planned to really let Mao Qiqi make a move to kill a zombie twice her size. She just wanted Mao Qiqi to get a feel for facing a zombie, to avoid panicking and screaming if she inevitably had to confront one in the future.

She remembered in her past life, during their escape, she had seen a bigger boy than Qiqi wet his pants at the sight of a zombie, only to cry and scream. The boy’s family was no longer there, and the leader of the group thought his cries would attract zombies, so they left him in the middle of the road. Everyone in the vehicle watched the boy being left behind, nobody speaking up to save him.

So, if she couldn’t teach Mao Qiqi to kill zombies, she at least had to teach her to escape.

Su Jin called over Lu Hao, asking him to hold Mao Qiqi, while she also stood by her side, teaching her how to attack a zombie.

Mao Qiqi listened attentively. Although the creature in front of her looked scary, her heart was filled with courage, derived from the subtle sense of security her family provided her every day.

To Su Jin and Lu Hao’s surprise, there wasn’t a trace of fear in Mao Qiqi’s eyes. Su Jin had been worried that Mao Qiqi might cry out in fear. Thinking about how her own mother had just cried out, Su Jin silently closed her mouth. Ꞧã₦ỔβĘʂ

The family behind was also amazed, feeling ashamed as they thought how they weren’t as brave as the seven- or eight-year-old Mao Qiqi.

“Sister Xiao Jin, will I become a monster if I get caught by one?” Mao Qiqi asked.

“Yes, so Qiqi must never be caught. If you can’t beat it, learn to run away first, okay?”

“Mm, I know. Can I hit it now?” Mao Qiqi asked, pointing to the struggling zombie ahead.

“Do you dare, Qiqi?”

Lu Hao felt they might teach her further, as the saying goes, a child could be taught.

“I dare, I want to fight the monster too,” Mao Qiqi answered firmly and forcefully, surprising everyone.

So Su Jin signaled her aunt to pass the watermelon knife she had just used, handing it to Mao Qiqi.

“Qiqi, sister will hit it with you, okay?” Su Jin asked with a smile.

After receiving Mao Qiqi’s sweet agreement, Su Jin let Mao Qiqi hold the knife handle, then held Mao Qiqi’s hand as well and chopped forcefully toward the zombie’s head.

Lu Hao noticed that Mao Qiqi didn’t close her eyes out of fear when she hit the zombie; instead, she watched as its head fell to the ground and cheered with delight, “Sister Xiao Jin, we did it!”

Years later, Lu Hao, looking at the loli in the team who got excited at the sight of blood, shook his head, remembering this moment. That tender little dumpling had walked a road of no return step by step with their guidance.

“Gosh, such a violent little loli!” Lin Xiuyuan ran over and pinched Mao Qiqi’s face. How could he feel that his cousins were all so strong?

Amidst everyone’s praise, Mao Qiqi returned to her mother’s embrace. She clenched her little fist and curved the corners of her mouth slightly upward. The sensation of chopping off the zombie’s head with Sister Xiao Jin was still present, and it seemed, kind of fun~
