Chapter 157 157: New Members ( 2 )
Zhang Yuan walked to Jin Xuyan and reported, "Captain, we found a total of 618 survivors and have cleared out the zombies."
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "We are going to the next factory, so we can't bring them. Give them enough supplies for two weeks and let them go find Old Wei."
When Zhang Yuan heard his words, he laughed and replied, "Okay."
While their team and the Eagle Team were rivals, they always respected Wei Ying. Despite him looking honest, his belly was actually full of bad ideas.
Even if it would be troublesome to manage so many survivors, they believed that with Wei Ying's shrewdness, he would be able to use them to his advantage. He would also ensure that the survivors wouldn't starve to death.
After a brief conversation, Zhang Yuan went to managed the survivors.
Two hours later, the survivors had left. Checking his watch, Jin Xuyan said, "Let's have lunch first before we go to the last factory."
The team members were famished and agreed readily.
They found a place under the shade and built three campfires. Xiao Qi took out three iron pots, two medium-sized metal basins, and ingredients for lunch from his space.
Jiao Lizhi filled up the basins and the iron pots with water. Two pots were used to boil drinking water, while another pot was used to cook bone soup noodles.
Since she couldn't cook, Jiao Lizhi was tasked with washing the vegetables and preparing the ingredients with Feng Yun, Yin Yusheng, and Li Sikai.
As for the noodles, they were left to Jin Xuyan and Qin Luzi. The two of them kneaded the dough with practiced movements. They only wore their T-shirts due to the hot temperature. Whenever they kneaded, their muscles tightened, showing their strength.
Jiao Lizhi was someone who appreciated beauty, so when she saw this scene, her eyes were glued to them.
Although Qin Luzi looked paler than Jin Xuyan, he unexpectedly had tight muscles despite his lean arms. The veins on his arms and the backs of his hands added a masculine aura to his cold yet gentle features.
While she was enjoying the beautiful scenery, Jin Xuyan was staring at her.
The longer she stared at Qin Luzi, the colder Jin Xuyan's gaze became.
Noticing the coldness emitting from their captain, Feng Yun bumped Jiao Lizhi's arm and said, "Junior sister, stop staring at my mentor. Your man almost bore a hole in your face with his gaze, and you still dare to stare at another man."
Being bumped by him, Jiao Lizhi came back to her senses. The moment she moved her gaze, she met Jin Xuyan's cold stare. Instead of feeling guilty, she smiled sweetly at him and said, "Brother Yan, I want my noodles a little bit chewy."
When Feng Yun heard her request, he raised his eyebrows. As a man, he understood another man. When men were jealous, they would ignore their girlfriends' small requests and wait for their girls to coax them.
Their captain was clearly jealous, yet she still dared to make a request. It seemed that this junior of his was either a fool in the romantic field or she was just courageous and dared to pull at the tiger's whiskers.
He had already guessed that she would be ignored by Jin Xuyan. Unexpectedly, Jin Xuyan only hesitated for a moment and replied unhappily, "Okay."
Feng Yun was dumbfounded by his captain's reaction. He looked at him with disbelief and finally recalled Luo Jing's words, 'When a man falls in love, he will have no bottom line toward his woman.'
Now, he could understand why his friend had told him this. He shook his head and continued washing the vegetables and peeling the garlic.
While they were preparing lunch, the group of researchers watched them in shock. They had an intuition that this team was strong, but they never expected them to be this strong.
They had witnessed and experienced the so-called living hell when most people turned into zombies, so they knew how hard it was to go out and find supplies.
Not to mention having three meals a day—it would be a blessing to be able to eat once a day. But this team—not only could they find so many supplies, they even had the leisure to cook hot meals.
Seeing this, Chen Zhiyi held his wife's hand and said softly, "Wife, it's still you who knows how to judge people. Your decision to join them was very wise."
Jiang Lixin smiled and replied, "Husband, I decided to join them not only because they are strong but because they saved our lives. From this, we can see that they have their bottom lines and are not a cold blooded team."
"I just don't understand why they agreed to let us join them. We are weak and can't help with anything," Chen Zhiyi said.
Jiang Lixin looked at her husband and said, "Husband, everyone has their roles in this world. Even if we are weak and can't fight the zombies, we have our strength in the medical field."
"As long as we have value, there will always be a place for us in this team. So, we must do our best to contribute to this team. This way, we will be able to ensure our safety and have hope for the future," she added solemnly.
The moment he heard his wife's words, Chen Zhiyi recalled how they were tricked and betrayed by their friends and colleagues. If not for them, they wouldn't have been trapped in that place and almost starved to death.
He doesn't know if those people are still alive, but if he sees them one day, he will definitely repay them tenfold!
Two hours later, the Phantom Team finished their lunch and were already on their way to the next factory. They had killed two zombie hordes, so the number of wandering zombies in the factory was small.
When they reached the military rations factory, Xiao Qi took out several blades from his space and handed them to their new members.
What do you think?
