Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

After the briefing, Jiao Lizhi divided the pond water and crystal cores with everyone. She also gave the new members a belt bag to store their crystal cores and emergency medicine.

When they finished the preparations, they left the mini-market. Before leaving, Jiao Lizhi tugged at Jin Xuyan's sleeve and said, "Brother Yan, can you leave with them first? I will catch up as soon as possible."

The moment he heard her words, Jin Xuyan instantly refused with a frown, "No way."

Jiao Lizhi wanted to take away the underground tanks, and she couldn't do it in front of everyone. So, she wanted to stay behind and take the tanks after they left. Unexpectedly, a certain someone would refuse her without even thinking.

"Then how about telling them to leave first and you stay with me?" she negotiated.

Jin Xuyan stared at her and asked, "Tell me what you want to do first."

Jiao Lizhi glared at him, but seeing how stubborn he was, she had no choice but to tell him.

"Brother Yan, I want to see if I can take away the underground tank. Right now, only you know about my space. So, I need them to leave first before I can try it."

When he heard her plan, Jin Xuyan said, "Ah Zhi, the size of the underground tank is massive. Are you sure you will be alright after storing the tank in your space? What if you end up like Xiao Qi from overusing your space?"

Noticing his worries, Jiao Lizhi softened her tone and said, "That's why I want to try it. If I can get the underground tanks, then we don't have to worry about running out of gas. It will save us during emergency situations."

After hearing her words, Jin Xuyan thought for a while before saying, "Alright. But if you can't do it, then you should stop right away. I don't want you to harm yourself just because of this matter."

"Okay!" Jiao Lizhi agreed readily.

Jin Xuyan glanced at her for a moment before going to inform Zhang Yuan about the change in their plan. After a while, the rest of the members left the gas station, leaving only the two of them behind.

Jiao Lizhi thought about how to collect the underground tanks as she walked around the gas station. After a while, she looked at the oil pumps and decided to take them together with the tanks.

The pumps and tanks were connected. If she only took one of them, what if the oil or LNG leaked and it exploded?

She would die without a trace, ah!

After she made up her mind, she placed her hands on the oil pump and took a deep breath. When she was ready, she muttered under her breath, "Collect!"

Boom!

The next moment, the oil pump disappeared, the ground shook, and it crumbled into a deep, big hole.

"Ah Zhi!" Jin Xuyan rushed over to her the moment he saw the ground collapse.

In the blink of an eye, he had already wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace as they fell into the hole.

Jiao Lizhi was startled by the sudden change. By the time her mind reacted, she was already in Jin Xuyan's arms and couldn't do anything but let him hug her.

After they landed, Jin Xuyan lowered his head to check on her and asked, "Ah Zhi, how are you? Are you injured? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

The worry and anxiety in his voice were so obvious that Jiao Lizhi swallowed the casual words at the tip of her tongue. She shook her head and replied, "Brother Yan, I'm fine."

With her current ability level and physical condition, even without Jin Xuyan, she wouldn't have been hurt from falling into the hole.

Hearing her soft voice, Jin Xuyan rested his head on her shoulder and said, "You scared me to death."

The moment he saw her fall, memories of his past life flashed through his mind. Back then, he had failed to catch her, and she ended up torn apart by the zombies.

The fear and desperation he felt at that moment couldn't be washed away, even after his rebirth. That would forever remain his worst nightmare, and he didn't want to experience it again.

Jiao Lizhi noticed his trembling arms, and a blurry figure of a man jumping off a building with his hands reaching out toward her flashed through her mind.

After a while, Jin Xuyan finally calmed down and let her go. He stood up and steadied her before releasing her.

When Jiao Lizhi looked into his eyes, the blurry figure in her memories became clearer. Before, she had only remembered his voice calling her name. Now, she could finally recall that person clearly.

She held his hand and said, "Brother Yan, I'm fine."

Jin Xuyan looked at her and nodded. Not wanting to recall those bad memories, he changed the topic.

"Ah Zhi, did you get the underground tank?" he asked.

Jiao Lizhi checked her space and saw the massive tank with the oil pump on the grassland. She nodded and said, "Brother Yan, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. I can get the rest of the tanks."

Since she was fine, Jin Xuyan had no objections. After he had carried her out of the hole, Jin Xuyan stood beside her. The two of them stood at a distance as Jiao Lizhi collected the remaining oil pumps and underground tanks.

Once she was done, she moved the tanks and pumps to a corner of the grassland in her space. Then, she took out her car from her space.

"They should be waiting for us. Let's go," Jin Xuyan said as he started the engine.

When they left the gas station, only empty buildings and a massive hole remained.

At the same time, the Phantom Team members were waiting for them by the roadside. Their current location was eight kilometers away from Lin'an University, and they could already hear the roars of zombies in the distance.
