Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

After a long silence, one ability-user finally stepped forward and said, "Captain, it wasn't easy for me to get into the special forces. I don't want to retire."

Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your service all these years. Before you leave, I will divide some supplies and crystal cores for you."

Hearing this, the rest of those who wanted to leave finally spoke up. Most were unwilling to retire after working so hard to join the special forces.

While Xiao Qi and the others felt upset, seeing them as traitors, Jin Xuyan had no objections. He would rather they leave than follow him unwillingly.

Once their decisions were made, Jin Xuyan stood up and saluted them. The soldiers returned his salute.

Lowering his hand, he said, "Brothers, I wish you all a bright future and safety. Meeting adjourned."

With that, he turned and left the room.

Watching his firm steps as he left, those who chose to leave lowered their heads.

Most had only been in the Phantom Team for a year or two, and though their attachment wasn't deep, they had received their captain's care and even owed him their lives. Now that they were leaving, guilt weighed heavily on them.

Noticing this, Zhang Yuan turned to them and said, "Raise your heads and stand tall."

The soldiers obeyed, despite looking at him with teary eyes.

Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh before he said, "Brothers, from today onward, the duty of protecting our country falls on your shoulders. Since you have made your choice, walk your path with confidence."

"Captain and us don't blame you—he understands your concerns. Don't burden yourselves with guilt. We regret that we won't be able to watch your backs and fight alongside you anymore, but we wish you all a safe and sound future."

"Those leaving, pack your belongings and report to the Eagle Team. Those staying, remain here."

The soldiers who chose to leave saluted him before walking out, one by one. Now, only 12 people remain in the room. Fifteen had left, including four ability-users.

Noticing the heavy mood, Zhang Yuan smiled and asked, "Why do you all look like you lost a million dollars?"

Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Vice Captain, aren't you angry? After everything we have been through together, they just left."

Zhang Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "Xiao Qi, throughout life, many people will only stay for a moment—guests passing through your life. If you get angry every time someone leaves, won't you wear yourself out?"

"I understand how you feel, but in the end, everyone has the right to choose their own path. Just because we think differently doesn't mean their decision is wrong."

"You are still young. You will understand more in time," he added patiently.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, he continued, "I asked you all to stay because we will be heading to the seed factory with the Captain to collect supplies."

"Today, the Captain and Sister-in-law found rice and coarse grains there. From the information he gathered, the amount is significant."

"For now, Li Sikai will temporarily lead the camp. Wen Mo, Wen Kai, and Yin Yusheng will stay behind to help. With our team members and some from the Eagle Team, the survivors won't dare cause trouble."

"The rest of you will go with the captain. Tonight, get some rest. We leave at first light."

Everyone nodded and replied in unison, "Understood."

After the soldiers left the room, a young woman walked over and asked, "Brother, can you let me sleep in that room for a night? My stomach is in pain, and I can't sleep outside."

When she walked closer, Qin Luzi smelled the thick scent of blood coming from her. He frowned and checked the map in his mind. Seeing the white dot, he frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"

The woman was stunned by his words for a while before she realized something. In an instant, her face turned red, and she stammered, "N-No, I'm not injured."

"Then why is the scent of blood around you so heavy?" Qin Luzi asked again.

As a straight man who spent most of his life studying in military school and then lived in the wilderness during missions, he had no idea about women's matters at all.

Seeing that he had no clue what was happening, the woman hesitated for a long time but was still unable to tell a stranger about her period.

When she was contemplating whether to just forget about it, Jiao Lizhi saw them and walked over. The moment she smelled the blood and saw how the woman pressed her lower abdomen, she understood immediately.

She stood beside her and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you use that?"

The woman shook her head and replied in a low voice, "I forgot to bring any with me."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi said, "I have some. Come with me."

"Thank you, sister," the woman said gratefully.

Qin Luzi was confused when he saw the young woman suddenly following his sister-in-law after they whispered for a moment. Since he couldn't understand, he just put it at the back of his mind.

Meanwhile, Jin Xuyan saw his Ah Zhi bring a woman to her car and followed them.

When he saw her rummaging through her backpack and taking out a piece of clean underwear, a strip of pain relief medicine, and two packs of sanitary pads, he decided not to go over.

"Sister, remember to wash the blood off properly. Zombies have a very keen sense of smell. If the scent is too strong, it will attract them," Jiao Lizhi said as she handed the items to the woman.

Accepting the items, the woman nodded and said, "Thank you, sister."

Using her backpack as cover, Jiao Lizhi took out two sachets of brown sugar ginger soup. This instant drink was convenient to have—they only needed to mix it with hot water to drink it directly.

She used a paper cup to prepare the brown sugar ginger soup for the woman and said, "Drink this and then go rest. You can go to the new room, it's less windy there."

This time, the woman accepted the hot soup with reddened eyes. Not to mention the apocalypse; even in normal times, not many people were as generous as this girl.

After thanking her one last time, the young woman went to find a place to change her underwear and rest.
