Rebirth of MC Chpt 102 - 202 (unedited translations)

Chapter 140: Mission accomplished

There is a total of fifteen survivors within the unit. Four of them are children, one infant, with the other ten being adults. One of them is a seventy-year-old man, the very person who became an Ability User and crushed the heads of the zombies in this building. He is the one who rescued the other survivors and scavenged as much food as possible, enabling the fifteen of them to survive until now.

"There's no rush, eat a little slower. After starving for this long, your stomach wouldn't be able to handle the sudden influx of food." A trace of anguish emerges in his eyes as he takes in the thin and sickly appearance of the survivors currently wolfing down the food given to them.

These survivors relied on the gathered food to survive this long, but three days ago, the last of their food and water ran out, leaving only a small bottle of milk for the two-month-old infant.

"Thank you very much, youngsters. If not for you, we would have starved to death here." The elder says gratefully to Huo Zaiyuan as the latter continues distributing food and water. After eating two pieces of bread and guzzling down half a bottle of water, the seventy-year-old man finally feels alive again.

"Grandfather, you are the real hero here. You've protected everyone here," Huo Zaiyuan replies with a smile.

Having finished making sure everyone is given food and water, Long Zhanye returns to Huo Zaiyuan's side and studies the grey-haired elderly Ability User.

Knowing that the survivors relied all this while on this elderly to survive these couple of months, he speculates that this old grandfather gained his ability through the desire to continue protecting.

"Grandfather, you cannot linger in this place any longer. Are you willing to bring this group of survivors and head for B City's safe zone?"

As soon as Huo Zaiyuan told him there are living humans in this building, Long Zhanye has already thought of ways to bring them out of here. However, if he suggests they make for A City's safe zone, the journey is too far, the group too big and looking for transport would be too inconvenient. Thus, he proposes that they head for B's safe zone as it is relatively near.

"I don't know if my son and daughter-in-law are still alive or not. On the night these monsters appeared, almost everyone in this building was turned. Even my wife..." The Ability User chokes on the last word, eyes reddening with grief. Lifting his arm to display the healed bite there, he continues. "After my wife bit me, I had a high fever that continued for several nights. It was my granddaughter who took care of me. After I recuperated, I discovered my strength increased. I think this is ability is due to my wife's strong desire to continue protecting me and our granddaughter even after becoming a monster... Therefore, I decided to kill those creatures and rescue all the survivors in this building... Originally, we wanted to escape from this place, but there are a lot more creatures outside, so we could only hide here... Youngster, outside is really...there are really still living humans?"

"There are. Although a lot of humans have transformed into monsters, there are still quite many survivors. We will send you to the safe zone. It's a very secure place." Long Zhanye pats the elderly's shoulder in comfort. "You still have your granddaughter, but it's possible your son and daughter-in-law are already in the safe zone."

He is not someone who knows how to comfort others, but under this sort of circumstances, the least he can do is keep this old man's spirit up.

"I understand. Then, we will be troubling you." The elder nods.

"Little Yuan." Turning to look at the person beside him, Long Zhanye's heart hurts at the beaten and tired look of his beloved. After expanding quite a bit of energy controlling his cranes and walking up eight floors, Huo Zaiyuan is clearly exhausted. But if one wishes to rest comfortably, they have to depart from here first. "I need to make another trip to B base and inform Hongjian to send over sufficient transport for these survivors. Here..."
