Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

Before the base had time to thoroughly investigate the case of missing women and children, it encountered new trouble: a wildfire broke out in the south.

Su Yun could see black smoke rising from a mountain in the distance from the window on the 7th floor. The mountains in the south were connected to each other, and if one mountain caught fire, it was only a matter of time before the rest of the mountains would catch fire too.

Wildfire is a very terrible natural disaster because the high temperature of the sun can ignite the grass and cause a fire.

Everyone in the base was in an uproar again. The base has not yet resumed basic tasks. Everyone was looking forward to the temperature dropping so they could go up the mountain to find some food. Now that a wildfire had broken out, everything was burned. There was no hope at all.

Liang Cancan was originally assigned to the air-raid shelter to be responsible for the daily work of the people taking refuge from the summer heat, but was urgently recalled to the ground to accept new arrangements.

Top message in the community: Dear residents, the base is the last guarantee for everyone to live and work. Now there is a wildfire in the mountains in the south. I hope you will actively sign up to build a fire isolation zone. No matter you are rich or poor, please actively participate. If the nest is overturned, the eggs will be broken. Once the fire spreads into the base, it will be a disaster for the entire base. Please bring your own tools to participate in the construction of the isolation zone. Be sure to bring shovels, hoes, sickles and other tools to report to the South Gate. The base advance team will assign areas. 10 points per day, including lunch.

With points to be earned, those people in the base who originally wanted to lie down and be lazy jumped up and hurriedly got up to borrow tools. All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the base was as if everyone was scrambling to earn work points, for fear that they would not be able to get the arrangement if they were a step late.

The Su family also wanted to go, not for the sake of points, but because they really realized that if the wildfire spread into the base, there were many old buildings in the base, which could easily catch fire due to the high temperature. If that happened, at least half of the base would be burned down.

Su Yun, Su Zhangming, Su's father, Su's mother, and Zhang Lili all went. Su Xiaogu was in poor health, so she stayed at home to look after the children. Xiaojing from the 7th floor was also left at home to look after the children. Lanlan and her grandfather from the 5th floor were at home to look after the children. All the young people had to go out.

When Su Yun was stockpiling machetes before, he collected a lot of farm tools. Chen Shou had dozens of sickles and hoes, and there were some commonly used farm tools in the villa, so he distributed 7 hoes to 7 floors. Everyone brought a sun hat, sun-proof clothing and a carry-on bag. Xiao Jing didn't have a decent sun-proof clothing, so Su Yun gave her his old one. After they were ready, they went out to queue up for registration.

As luck would have it, the team they were assigned to was led by Liang Cancan. A team of 50 people came to the creek. The creek had dried up and the riverbed was exposed. They opened a firebreak with the creek as an extension. First, the dead trees and weeds on both sides of the creek had to be removed with hoes or sickles, all flammable plants had to be cleared away, and then a vacuum zone 5 meters wide and 1 meter deep was dug.

At noon, the base cafeteria provided thin porridge with three pickles. Su Yun and his group gathered together to eat lunch in a very conspicuous manner. They took out their own dry food from their backpacks and drank it with the rice porridge.

The bamboo hat is big enough that the shadow it casts is just enough to cover a person, like a fully automatic parasol.

After digging under the scorching sun for a week, Su Yun couldn't bear it anymore. He also had hypoglycemia and felt weak and uncomfortable all over. He came to the temporary rest room at the South Gate to hide from the scorching sun and take a break before going any further.

Almost all the base staff were doing logistical work at the South Gate, so Su Yun didn't let Zhang Lili accompany him.

The temporary lounge was actually a yurt with no extra facilities. Everyone sat cross-legged to rest. Su Yun was drinking water when another person appeared next to her. That person was wearing a mask in the hot weather. She moved to the other side vigilantly.

The man shook the purple towel in his hand and prepared to wipe the sweat. When the towel was about to touch the skin, he suddenly stretched it in front of Su Yun.

Su Yun quickly leaned back and held his breath. This man came from a bad background. He dared to harm others in broad daylight under the noses of the authorities.

Could it be that they were the culprits behind the recent disappearance of women and children? In an instant, all kinds of speculations ran through her mind. She couldn't call for help if she held her breath. No matter how hard Su Yun tried, she couldn't pry the man's hand open. She only knew that this man must be a martial artist, and the muscles on his arms were as hard as stone.

When she woke up again, she was already in the car, feeling dizzy.

In a Chinese box car, there were more than twenty girls in their twenties and thirties with their hands tied with ropes. Only Su Yun woke up early, while the others were still in a coma.

There was no light in the carriage, it was pitch black. Su Yun didn't dare to take out the things in the space easily, for fear that someone next to him was staring at him.

When she was fully awake, she realized that there was no movement in the back of the car, so she quietly took out a knife and cut the thin rope on her wrists. She didn't know which bastard had tied her up, but her wrists were so painful.

I vaguely heard someone talking at the front of the car, and the general meaning was that this batch of goods was very good, and they would pick the best one to give to the boss.

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. His family must have been very worried when they found out. After untying the ropes, he took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight, only to find that there were dozens of women lying next to him. Su Yun was so scared that he almost dropped the phone.

Afraid that my phone would ring suddenly, I quickly set it to silent mode. I saw that there were more than 200 missed calls and many messages. I immediately sent a message in the group: I was kidnapped and in a car. I don’t know where I am. There are 28 women like me here. I will find a way to get out of this predicament. You can find clues to rescue me. If you don’t have any clues, wait for me at home. I will send messages frequently to report the latest situation.

However, the message failed to be sent after being edited. I must be far away from the base now, and the card at the base has no network. I switched to the satellite card before the disaster and sent it out. I received a reply instantly.

Su's mother: I'm so worried that something might happen to you. You must protect yourself.

Wang Jie: Report your address at any time. Zhang Ming and I will drive after you and try to rescue you.

Zhang Lili: Sister, if I had known I would go with you, I would regret it so much.

Su Yun was thinking, it’s a good thing that Zhang Lili didn’t come, otherwise one more person would have been kidnapped.

Dad Su: Just give them what they want. Saving your life is the most important thing.

Su Yun was just about to reply to the message when the car seemed to have arrived. She swayed from side to side with a sudden brake and quickly put her phone into the space. She wrapped the cut rope around her wrist again and pretended to be still unconscious.

The carriage door was opened from the outside, and a group of gunmen came in and kicked the women lying on the ground one by one: Hey, wake up, or I’ll kick you to death if you don’t wake up.

Su Yun was quick-witted and pretended to wake up slowly and moved to the corner. He took a look outside the car. It was pitch black. It was night time and they didn't know where they were and couldn't act rashly.

Another person came up, searched carefully with a flashlight, pointed at Su Yun and said: That's her, send her to the boss.
