Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Jiao Lizhi looked at Jin Xuyan and noticed his seriousness. Since he didn't want to build a base, then she wouldn't force him. She smiled and said, "Brother Yan, if you don't want to do it, then we won't do it."

"Good," Jin Xuyan nodded.

After their brief conversation, Jiao Lizhi started collecting the military rations. There were not only compressed biscuits and self-heating meals stored in the warehouse, but also various rations with a long shelf life.

Besides the main entrées such as staple food, meat, seafood, and fish dishes, there were also side dishes, desserts, snacks, powdered drink mixes, various sauces, and seasonings.

Looking at the variety of military rations, Jiao Lizhi finally understood why the size of the warehouses was several times larger than the other factories.

It took her almost two hours to collect all the military rations into her space. Not long after, Zhang Yuan and the rest returned, followed by a group of survivors.

When Jiao Lizhi noticed that only five new members returned, she knew that the other two had either run away or died. With so many Phantom Team members with them, it was impossible for them to die. So, the only reason was that they ran away.

As for the survivors, fewer than twenty people returned with the team. As usual, Xiao Qi gave them enough supplies for two weeks and told them to go to Jiangning City.

With a clear direction, the survivors finally had some hope to continue. After receiving their supplies and daggers, they left together.

Jin Xuyan walked over to his team and asked, "Old Qin, have you found another survivor?"

Qin Luzi nodded and said, "There is a group of ability-users staying in the main building and refusing to leave. We already checked their situation, and they have enough supplies that could last them for at least six months."

Since they had enough supplies, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "We will return to Lin'an University."

The moment everyone heard his words, they were surprised. Zhang Yuan looked at him and asked, "Captain, why do you want to go back?"

Jin Xuyan looked at his team and explained, "There are still a lot of survivors staying in this area. The distance between this place and Lin'an University is too close. If we don't clear out the zombies, there will always be a hidden danger of a zombie horde."

"We all know that the number of survivors is low compared to the zombies. If we don't remove this hidden danger, what if one day a high-level zombie appears and triggers a zombie horde?"

"The survivors might not have a chance of survival. If they are infected and turn into zombies, the number of zombies in this city will increase, and the situation might get out of hand. By then, it will be too late to control the zombie population and save the survivors."

"Although we have retired from the military, we should still have our bottom line. We can also use this chance to improve our level and earn more crystal cores. No matter the reason, this only benefits us."

After they heard his reasoning, the Phantom Team members thought that their captain's decision actually made sense. Therefore, no one had any objections—except the new members.

They thought that they would be able to live a more stable life. Unexpectedly, after joining the team, their risk of being wounded and killed was even higher as they were forced to fight against the zombies.

The new members hesitated for a while before one of them said, "Captain Jin, I think I can't fit into your team. Can you give me some supplies instead? I want to go to the survivor camp."

As soon as he said this, another man added, "I also want to go to the survivor camp."

When Jin Xuyan heard this, he nodded and said, "You are free to leave. Xiao Qi, give them the supplies."

"Yes, Captain," Xiao Qi nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of supplies appeared in front of them.

The two researchers had backpacks, so they divided the supplies evenly. Before leaving, one of them said, "Thank you for saving my life, comrades."

The other also thanked them and left with the man. After they had gone, Jin Xuyan looked at the rest and asked, "Have the three of you made up your mind? You can still leave now."

"Captain, I want to stay in this team," Chen Zhiyi said without hesitation.

"Me too," Jiang Lixin said firmly.

Jin Xuyan looked at the young man and asked, "How about you?"

The young man clenched his fists, thought for a moment, and said, "Captain, I also want to stay and get stronger."

Seeing his determination, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Good. From today onward, you are officially joining my team. To stay in my team, I want total loyalty. If one day you betray the team, I will kill you with my own hands."

Hearing his words and seeing his cold eyes, the three of them shuddered and felt a chill run down their spines.

"Understood."

The next moment, a smile appeared on Jin Xuyan's face. He pointed at the young man and asked, "You haven't told us your name and age."

"Captain, my name is Yu Fuyun. Yu as in 'remain,' Fu as in 'scent,' and Yun as in 'sunlight.' I'm 22 years old this year."

When the members heard his name, they nodded and thought that it somehow suited him very well.

Since they had finished collecting the supplies in the factory district and there were still several hours before sunset, they left the factory in their armored vehicles and drove toward Lin'an University.

At the same time, in Lin'an University, a female zombie was standing on the rooftop. Her dress was tattered and covered in black blood. As the wind blew, her sparse hair fell off her rotten head.

When she saw the hair fluttering in the air, her dull grey eyes flickered for a second. Raising her head, she opened her mouth and let out an angry roar.

"Roar!!"

The moment the surrounding zombies heard the roar, their bodies stiffened, and they stood unmoving, raising their heads in her direction.

The female zombie lowered her head and looked at her hands without moving. Not long after, another roar echoed from the distance.
