Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 747 Dissolution of the Family

Dissolving the Nickle Family?!!

Elder Russell closed his eyes expressionlessly, unable to discern whether he was pleased or worried, but Qiao’s last statement had also caused most of the people at the round table to stand up.

"Qiao, have you lost your mind? How can you dissolve the Nickle Family by yourself?"

"Exactly! We all disagree, by what right do you say dissolve and it’s dissolved?"

Lina also joined the opposition. The family was their only halo, and now Qiao wanted to personally strip it away—how could this be allowed!

"Everyone, what I said about dissolving the Nickle Family doesn’t mean scattering you to every corner of the world; you can continue living at the base as before, you can continue to love each other as before, none of that will be affected, it’s just that..."

Qiao looked at those who had stood up from the round table with a smile; they were all parasites!!

"Just what?"

Sali asked, feeling an ominous premonition.

"Just that the privileges of the Nickle Family will be completely abolished, and everyone will be equal to the survivors in the base, no longer enjoying free housing and food, myself included,"

Qiao’s words echoed like a demonic chant in the council chamber, shaking the members of the Nickle Family to the core—this was nothing short of challenging their bottom line!

"I disagree"

"I disagree too!"

Without their family privileges, what would they eat? Without their family privileges, the envy and submissiveness they had enjoyed would be no more!

"Qiao, you can’t do this, you’re just a collateral member,"

Lina accused; he was just a member of a collateral line of the family, and yet he dared to disband the family?

The round table’s opposition held an overwhelming majority; at this moment, Qiao seemed rather isolated.

"I think Qiao is right. Before the Apocalypse, the world was egalitarian; why should it be unequal after the Apocalypse? My warriors and I risk our lives every day outside, why should the food and rewards we get be less than those enjoyed by you people indulging in the base?"

Bard spoke, his voice deep and resonant, touching the hearts of everyone present.

"I agree, why wouldn’t I?"

Seeing that Bard had taken the lead in agreeing, the crowd also began to express their agreements.

"We all agree, Qiao, you’re right!"

"Everyone is equal, we eat by virtue of strength and labor! We don’t support idlers!"

"We support the dissolution of the Nickle Family! We will always support Qiao!"

"..."

Qiao gestured for everyone to settle down and continued, "I’m dissolving the privileges of the Nickle Family, but correspondingly, there will be more positions available in the base. If there are capable people to fill these positions, they will enjoy the privileges that come with those positions. From now on, the base will recruit newcomers through an open registration process, available to everyone."

The crowd reacted vigorously, and at the round table, many of the Nickle Family had already left their seats in indignation. Aside from a few family members who held important positions within the base, the round table had become empty.

Qiao looked at the few remaining people with a wry smile.

"You’re doing well, there’s no need to worry, you’re actually saving your family,"

Lu Hao said from the side. In an apocalypse, power and supplies alone are hardly enough to sustain without strength.

Elder Russell heard what Lu Hao said and looked at him approvingly. He understood some Huaxia language, just wasn’t very good at speaking it.

What Qiao did might seem preposterous, but wasn’t it also a turning point for the Nickle Family?

"Thank you, Lu Hao, it’s good to have someone understand me,"

Qiao said, realizing that those who understood him the most were actually the recently acquainted Heart Talk Team.

"You’re going to be busy from now on,"

Su Jin said with a smile. The changes in Country Y were not just a change in leadership, but a transformation of the entire system from top to bottom, freeing people’s minds from the old patterns, which was even harder than rebuilding a base.

"With Elder Russell’s help, I believe I would achieve twice the result with half the effort,"

Qiao nodded towards Elder Russell, his eyes carrying a hint of respect. It’s important to know that Elder Russell was the first to support his decision. Without his backing, he wouldn’t have had the courage or the resolve to announce these matters today.

"Miss Su and Mr. Lu, rest assured, your assistance with this matter has been a great help to us, and as key figures in our country Y moving forward, we naturally won’t neglect you all,"

Elder Russell finally stated. Key figures in country Y, although those around couldn’t understand, Qiao knew exactly what that meant—that they were country Y’s future trading partners.

The meeting lasted well into the afternoon before concluding. Su Jin and Lu Hao didn’t stay for the latter part of Y country’s internal discussions, departing midway through the session.

And indeed, Elder Russell’s words had a marvelous effect. Not long after the two returned to their guest residence, Morris arrived with 1.5 million Crystal Cores.

"It’s instructed by Qiao and Elder Russell to be delivered. These are rightfully yours,"

Morris said, excited.

"Thank you, then we won’t stand on ceremony,"

Su Jin waved her hand, taking away the row of Crystal Cores laid on the ground without any hesitation. fгeewebnovёl.com

"Goodness, Qiao and Elder Russell are quite on the ball, deserving of praise indeed,"

Lin Xiuyuan’s previous bias against Elder Russell had now been completely blown away by the 1.5 million Crystal Cores. It’s truly hard to dislike someone who knows how to behave...

"What did he say?"

Morris asked, noticing that Lin Xiuyuan also seemed quite happy.

"Oh, nothing much, he said that the people of Y country are very loyal,"

Su Jin explained with a smile.

"Of course, you are our friends, so we definitely have to be loyal,"

Morris also seemed very pleased, thinking about how just yesterday he was locked up in a gloomy isolation room, and today he was free, with Qiao even becoming the leader of their clan— all thanks to the Heart Talk Team.

Seeing that Morris was in no hurry to leave, Su Jin couldn’t help but ask, "Do you have anything else?"

"Cough cough, well, there is something. Abby and Avril asked me to inquire if the deal they mentioned before, trading Crystal Cores for materials with you, is still on..."

Morris asked somewhat sheepishly. The previous itinerary had been so rushed; they hadn’t had time to exchange materials with Su Jin.

"Of course, it’s still possible. Take advantage of the fact that we haven’t left yet, and have them come here to trade,"

Su Jin replied, also remembering that matter had yet to be resolved, grateful that they hadn’t forgotten.

"Really? They are waiting outside; I will call them in right now,"

Morris rushed out, acting as if not purchasing today would mean losing the opportunity forever.

"Su Jin, we’ve missed you so much!"

Abby and Avril were the first to enter, followed by Jerome and others.

"Is it that exaggerated? We were together on a mission just yesterday,"

Su Jin said with a laugh. But seeing this temporary six-person squad, with whom she had teamed up for almost a month, all safe and sound, she felt truly happy.

"Not an exaggeration at all. Qiao taught us a phrase from Huaxia, it goes ’一日不见如隔三秋,’ and that’s exactly how we feel right now,"

Abby finished speaking, and Paul and the rest nodded vigorously behind her.

They knew a bit about the previous night’s events. However, they felt that Su Jin and her companions had been too merciful for sparing Xius’s life.

"Alright, what do you wish to exchange for? I have a list here for your reference,"

Su Jin took out several copies of the same list and handed them out to the group, with Morris taking a curious look as well.

"Oh my God, is there a zero missing in this price?"

Jerome asked in surprise.
