Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 126 126: She Prefers Mint Flavor



This time, Chu Zhimiao didn't need to be called. The moment she saw the group of survivors, she approached them. Noticing the bruises and red marks on the women's bodies, she averted her gaze and said, "You can follow me for the inspection."

The women knew that others would look down on them because of the humiliation they had experienced. So, some lowered their heads in shame.

But those who had fought against the zombies or lost their loved ones refused to bow. With their heads held high, they followed Chu Zhimiao into the metal partition room.

Inside the camp, Zhang Yuan reported to Jin Xuyan, "Captain, the Eagle Team has arrived. Here is the list of supplies we have prepared for them."

Jin Xuyan checked the list and said, "Reduce the amount of instant noodles and staple food. We found rice and coarse grains at the seed factory. Tomorrow, we will go with the Eagle Team to collect the supplies."

Zhang Yuan nodded and replied, "Understood."

"Old Zhang, inform our brothers that we will hold a meeting in an hour. Besides those assigned to guard the perimeter, all team members must attend," Jin Xuyan instructed, handing the list back to Zhang Yuan.

"Yes, Captain."

After Zhang Yuan leaves, Jin Xuyan turns to Jiao Lizhi and says, "Ah Zhi, I will be busy later. If you are tired, you can rest first."

Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "Let's go to the temporary bathroom first. You should clean up the blood before meeting your guests."

Jin Xuyan agreed, and the two headed to the public bathhouse built by the Wen brothers.

When they arrived, they saw a line of people waiting for their turn outside the bathhouse.

A soldier guarding the area noticed them and walked over and said, "Welcome back, Captain, Sister-in-law."

"There are women using the bathhouse now, so my sister-in-law can go in first," he added.

Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "Okay, I will refill the water, too."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law!"

While waiting for his turn, Jin Xuyan took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. But before he could light one, he hesitated. After a while, he put the cigarette back into the pack and handed it to a soldier.

"Take it."

The soldier knew his captain was a heavy smoker. For him to suddenly give up smoking, something must have happened. He hesitated before asking, "Captain, why are you giving this to me? Aren't you going to smoke?"

"I won't smoke anymore," Jin Xuyan replied while popping a piece of mint candy into his mouth.

Curious, the soldier asked, "Why?"

Jin Xuyan glanced at him and replied as a matter of factly, "Your sister-in-law dislikes the smell of cigarettes. She prefers mint flavor."

The moment he heard his captain's bragging words, the soldier's face twisted in dismay. He glanced at his captain with silent complaints in his heart. If he had known he was about to be force-fed dog food, he would never have asked!

Seeing his soldier's envious and sour expression, the corner of Jin Xuyan's lips lifted.

Inside the public bathhouse, Jiao Lizhi was unaware that a certain someone was spreading rumors about her preferences. At this moment, she worked diligently, like a busy bee.

Since the water in the bathtub was no longer clean enough for washing up, she drained it by heating the dirty water until it turned into vapor, leaving an empty bathtub.

When the women saw her throwing away so much water, they felt a pang of regret—such a waste ah!

But before they could complain, they saw her create several balls of water and refill the bathtub. This time, she not only filled it to the brim but also said, "Those who brought basins or containers, get in line. I will help you fill them."

The moment they heard this, everyone cheered and quickly formed a line.

Jiao Lizhi wanted to use this opportunity to drain her energy and push the limits of her energy pool. So, she was generous, filling their containers to the brim and even lending a large basin for them to wash their clothes and underwear.

Once she finished, she quickly took a shower and took a seat of clean clothes from her space when no one was looking. After she had changed her clothes, she walked to the washing area.

Seeing that she wanted to wash her dirty clothes, one of the women stepped forward and said, "Sister, you must be tired after filling so many containers. Let us help you wash them."

Jiao Lizhi didn't refuse and replied with a smile, "Thank you."

While they washed her clothes, she walked out of the bathhouse and saw the nearby soldier. She waved at Xiao Qi to come over.

"Sister-in-law, do you need something?" Xiao Qi asked.

Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "Xiao Qi, tell the survivors to bring their empty containers. I will help them fill the water container. Also, ask your comrades to make several big basins so people can wash their clothes."

"Even if we need to be frugal with water and food, we still need to be careful with hygiene. If people get sick, it will be troublesome to find the medicine," she added.

Xiao Qi nodded and said, "I will inform Brother Wen and the survivors."

"Okay."

Not long after, the Wen brothers arrived and created three large basins. After they had created the basins, the two of them left to join the meeting.

Jiao Lizhi filled them to the brim with water. Once she was done, she saw Xiao Qi approaching with a group of survivors, mostly women and young men.

Seeing them, she said, "Everyone, although we don't have soap or detergent, you can wash your clothes with this water."

Hearing her words, one of the survivors asked, "Sister, why don't you give this water to us for drinking instead?"

Jiao Lizhi looked at the survivor and said, "Even though drinking water is important, hygiene is just as crucial. If you fall ill, it will be hard to get medicine."
