Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Beast In Human Skins ( 1 )
“Sister Wen, that food doesn’t belong to them, so why should we ask for their permission? We are this factory’s workers—by right, they should be the ones asking for our permission,” a young man said unhappily.

The moment she heard this, Sister Wen looked at him and asked, “Do you think you can win against them if we fight?”

“If they dare to hit us, we can just report it to the police!” another man added.

Shaking her head, Sister Wen explained, “Everyone should understand that we have no signal. How can we report them to the police? What’s more, I don’t think we can still use the previous laws in our current situation.”

Seeing that the young man still wanted to argue, she continued, “Do you forget what happened in the dormitories? Do you want to end up like those people instead?”

“That man wore a uniform similar to a soldier’s—he must be a soldier. He wouldn’t harm us, right?” an old woman said.

“Aunty, are you sure that man is a soldier just based on his clothes? What if he is a criminal who escaped from prison and stole the soldier’s uniform instead?” Sister Wen asked.

“Rather than betting on his personality, which we don’t know at all, it’s better to use a simpler and more honest approach.”

“There are only two people, they wouldn’t be able to take everything. If we ask politely, I’m sure they won’t mind sharing the supplies. But if we steal the supplies, they might kill us like Director Yang did,” she added.

Everyone remembered the terror they experienced when they were trapped inside the dormitories. Director Yang had obtained a superpower to control metal. Whenever someone dared to go against him, he would kill them with a metal pipe.

Because of his power, he was able to kill the monsters and managed to bring everyone to the cafeteria. With supplies under his control and the addition of his superpower, he even dared to violate several young women blatantly.

Some of them took their own lives due to the humiliation, while those with thick skin stayed with Director Yang as his playthings just so they could get some food and water.

When he laid his eyes on Sister Wen, she resisted with all her might and managed to hit Director Yang in the head. She escaped with a group of people when he fainted.

Those who chose to follow Director Yang and become his minions didn’t have any superpowers, so when they saw her and the small group of people run out of the cafeteria, they didn’t chase after them, thinking they would surely die.

Therefore, most of the people hiding in this guard post were young women, along with some older women and young men.

After listening to her reasoning, they no longer insisted on stealing the food and agreed to her decision.

While they were discussing, Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi had already finished killing all the zombies in the area.

After Jin Xuyan burned all the zombies’ corpses to ashes, Jiao Lizhi went to collect the crystal cores. The two of them worked with tacit understanding.

“Brother Yan, I’m done,” Jiao Lizhi said after collecting the last crystal core into her space.

Jin Xuyan turned around and said, “Ah Zhi, there has been a group of people watching us for a while. Should we go meet them or just let them follow us sneakily?”

When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi turned and followed his gaze. The moment she looked at the guard post, she saw several people looking at them from the window.

She didn’t say anything and just looked at the guard post in silence.

Jin Xuyan glanced at her and understood her meaning. If those people came out to meet them, she would let them tag along. If they didn’t come out, she would just let them follow them.

The difference might lie in how much supplies they would be able to get. If they tagged along, they would be able to get as much as they could carry. But if they followed sneakily, they might only get some supplies.

At this moment, Jiao Lizhi didn’t think as much as Jin Xuyan thought she did. She was only curious about those people who were hiding.

In her previous life, she didn’t leave Lin’an University until the university was surrounded by zombies. In order to escape from the university, lots of people were used as bait by the upperclassmen to pull away the zombies, and she was one of them.

She was lucky at that time to be able to escape due to the help of a senior sister. When they managed to leave the university area, the factory district already turned into a sea of fire from an explosion. So, she didn’t know what happened to these people in the previous life.

As for that senior sister, she met her again after a few years. When they met again, that senior sister had already become someone with an important position in the government base.

She was kind and generous but known for her hatred towards men, especially those with power-type abilities. Therefore, her presence in the base is contradictory. Women love and admire her, while men hate her to the bones.

While she was lost in her previous life’s memories, Sister Wen made up her mind and opened the door.

As she walked out from the guard post, she raised both of her hands and said, “Comrade, we don’t have any bad intentions. We only want to get some food and water.”

Seeing that the two individuals with superpower didn’t attack, she heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “I wonder if it’s possible for me and my friends to follow after you?”

Hearing her words, Jiao Lizhi snapped out of her thoughts. She looked at the woman and said, “If you want to follow, then just follow. But we won’t be responsible for your safety.”

The moment they heard this, most of the people nodded with joy on their faces. Only an old woman frowned and said, “That man is a soldier. Isn’t it his duty to protect us?”
