Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Survivor
The moment the water blades hit the ground, a loud sound echoed from the collision. With another wave of Jiao Lizhi’s hands, the water blades flew out from the cracked ground and moved in the opposite direction.

BOOM!

Another loud sound was heard. The sound echoed in the silent morning, attracting more zombies toward them.

ROAR!!!

When she heard the roars of zombies coming, the corner of her lips lifted. She jumped back onto the wall and waited for another wave of zombies.

Jin Xuyan let out a chuckle and asked, “Ah Zhi, don’t you worry about me running out of energy?”

Hearing his words, Jiao Lizhi asked with a smile, “Brother Yan, don’t tell me you can’t last even for half an hour?”

When Jin Xuyan heard her ambiguous words, his eyes glinted dangerously as he said, “Ah Zhi, never say that a man can’t do it, let alone say that he can’t last even for half an hour.”

Noticing his annoyance, Jiao Lizhi grinned and replied casually, “Well, I believe Brother Yan can last longer than that. That’s why I dared to pull more zombies.”

This time, Jin Xuyan didn’t bother replying to her. One day, he would prove to her whether he could last longer or not. When she was pinned down by him, he would make her beg for mercy.

With his thoughts venturing into the yellow area, his body temperature increased. Suddenly, the black flames burning the zombies became wilder.

Before the new wave of zombies even arrived, the rest of the zombies near the wall had already been reduced to black ashes.

Feeling the surge of energy swirling in his body, Jin Xuyan let out a suppressed groan from his throat as a thin layer of sweat covered his forehead.

“Mhmmh.”

The moment Jiao Lizhi heard this, she turned her head and saw his hair was wet and his Adam’s apple bobbed. His face was flushed, and he seemed to be in pain yet also in pleasure.

Worried that he had overexerted his energy, she quickly summoned several water blades to help him kill the zombies.

Thirty minutes later, the wave of zombies finally stopped. Clenching her fists, she took back the energy from her water blades and let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Jin Xuyan’s face turned pale, and his body swayed. Before he fell, she reached out to hold his waist. Without wasting time, she carried him down from the wall and let him sit on the ground.

She took out three bottles of pond water from her space, opened the lid, and brought one to him while saying, “Brother Yan, drink some water first.”

Jin Xuyan was feeling the pain from the energy rampaging in his body, but he still drank the water just to assure her that he was fine. Unexpectedly, after he drank the water, he felt the energy slowly calming down.

With doubts in his mind, he finished the entire bottle. Before he could ask anything, Jiao Lizhi handed him another bottle before she drank one herself.

Seeing this, he obediently finished the water and returned the empty bottle to her.

Only after she recovered some of her energy did Jiao Lizhi have time to ask, “Brother Yan, what’s wrong with you?”

Leaning against the wall, Jin Xuyan smiled and said, “I’m fine. I just overused my energy. I need to rest for a while.”

Jiao Lizhi held his wrist and sent a sliver of her energy into his body. After a moment, she was relieved to find that he had only used too much energy and that there was nothing wrong with his body.

“Then, let’s wait until you recover before we go inside,” she said as she sat beside him.

“Okay.”

Jin Xuyan closed his eyes and regulated his energy. The cold energy he absorbed from the zombies was blocking his meridians. If he didn’t purify the energy, his veins and meridians would be torn apart.

He had been too careless. Because he wanted to break through as soon as possible, he absorbed more than his body could handle.

Fortunately, Ah Zhi’s water-type ability was special as it could suppress the cold energy. Otherwise, he might have crippled himself due to his haste.

While he was busy purifying the energy, Jiao Lizhi was lost in thought.

In her previous life, she had heard rumors about Jin Xuyan going berserk during one of his missions and almost killed all of his men together with the zombies. Since she had seen that he was fine when they met again, she dismissed the news as mere gossip.

But looking at his condition now, that news might have been true. His fire-type ability was powerful, but that power came at what price?

An hour later, Jin Xuyan finally opened his eyes and saw Jiao Lizhi eating a loaf of bread. When he noticed her big appetite, he raised his eyebrows.

Even though ability-users are prone to feeling hunger faster than ordinary people due to their energy consumption, they wouldn’t feel hungry as quickly as she did.

Noticing that he had finally finished resting, Jiao Lizhi shoved the rest of the bread into her mouth and drank half a bottle of pond water before asking, “Brother Yan, how are you feeling? Are you hungry?”

“I’m fine. We can go inside now,” Jin Xuyan replied with a smile.

“Okay.”

This time, the two of them pulled out their weapons and walked into the warehouse area. Since most of the zombies had already been killed by them, only a few wandered along the road, easily dealt with.

When they reached the first warehouse, Jin Xuyan noticed that the lock had been forcefully opened. Seeing this, he pushed on the steel door and heard murmuring from inside.

“It seems there are people inside,” Jiao Lizhi said.

Jin Xuyan nodded and knocked on the door. This time, he said, “Open the door. We are humans, not zombies.”

Not long after, they finally heard someone reply, “Go away! We won’t open the door!”
