Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Beasts In Human Skins ( 2 )
As soon as she heard the old woman’s words, Jiao Lizhi’s eyes turned cold. She looked at the old woman and asked, “Who are you to demand protection from others?”

Noticing the change in her mood, Sister Wen quickly said, “Sister, Aunt Wang didn’t mean it that way. She only—”

Before she finished her words, the old woman interrupted her, “Xiao Wen, why should you fear them? That man is clearly a soldier. Look at the emblem on his clothes. Every soldier made a vow to protect the country and the people. So, he should protect us!”

The moment she finished her words, Jiao Lizhi laughed. She clapped her hands slowly and said, “Wow, such entitlement. Even the commander of an army wouldn’t dare to say those words in this kind of situation.”

“Old woman, this man is mine, and he will only protect me. As for you, if you continue to run your mouth, I won’t mind helping you seal it off.”

When she finished her words, she waved her hand, and an ice needle flew at a fast speed, stopping only a millimeter away from the old woman’s throat.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden attack and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. The old woman was so scared that her face turned pale.

Seeing her pale face, Jiao Lizhi sneered, and with a flick of her hand, the ice needle went deeper, drawing blood from her throat.

Feeling the pain, the old woman’s eyes rolled, and she fainted on the spot. As she lay on the ground, they smelled the stench of urine in the air. When they looked at the old woman, they saw her pants were drenched as she peed herself.

Jiao Lizhi snorted and flicked her wrist. In an instant, the ice needle turned into a pool of water and splashed the old woman’s face.

Such a coward, yet she dared to morally blackmail her person? She seems like someone who won’t cry until she sees the coffin.

She no longer looked at them and said, “I’m not a saintess, and my brother is not your protector. We don’t have any obligation to protect you. If you want to live, then fight for yourself.”

Then, she held Jin Xuyan’s hand and said, “Brother Yan, let’s go.”

Jin Xuyan glanced at the group and said, “If you don’t want to follow us, just go to the clothing factory. A group of soldiers will come to pick up the survivors. You can go with them.”

Checking his watch, he added, “They will arrive in two or three hours from now. If you are late, there is no guarantee they will wait for you.”

After he finished his words, he went to the warehouse with Jiao Lizhi.

Looking at their backs, Xiao Jiu asked, “Sister Wen, what should we do now?”

Sister Wen looked at the old woman, who was still unconscious, and said with a hint of annoyance, “Aunt Wang already offended them. I’m afraid that even if we follow them, we won’t be able to get enough supplies to survive.”

“Then should we go to the clothing factory?” a young man asked.

“Right now, that’s our only option. We should go now, or we won’t be able to catch up to the soldiers,” Sister Wen said.

After they made up their minds, two young men held Aunt Wang’s arms and dragged her as they followed Sister Wen and the rest of the people.

Not far from them, Jiao Lizhi turned to look at them and asked, “Brother Yan, why don’t you let them follow us? There must be rice stored in the warehouse. We can share the supplies.”

Jin Xuyan shook his head and said, “There must be more survivors hiding in this factory, and judging from how they hid in that small guard post, the other survivors might not be as docile as them.”

“If we let them tag along, we might attract unwanted attention from another group of survivors. Those people are just ordinary citizens. It’s better for them to go to the survivor camp as soon as possible.”

After she heard his words, Jiao Lizhi only nodded but said nothing. For her, she didn’t really care about the survivors.

She had witnessed a lot of the dark side of humanity in her previous life and knew that the seemingly weak and docile people were actually the most heartless and ruthless beasts in human skin.

In order to survive, they wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice their own children and family. That’s why she would never feel pity toward the so-called ordinary people.

Instead, it was those soldiers who were mentally blackmailed and morally kidnapped by those ordinary people who should be pitied. They fought to protect them, only to be stabbed by those people in the back.

It would be great if she could recruit all of those soldiers into Jin Xuyan’s team. Even without abilities, those soldiers had been trained for years, and their combat abilities were above others. Even the ability-users were not guaranteed to win against them in battle.

Noticing she was lost in her thoughts again, Jin Xuyan reached out and pinched her cheek lightly while asking, “Ah Zhi, what are you thinking?”

Coming back to her senses, she shook her head and said, “Nothing.”

Since she was unwilling to tell him, Jin Xuyan didn’t plan to force her. The two of them walked while looking around, checking if there were zombies wandering nearby.

Fifteen minutes later, the two of them reached the warehouse area. There was a map on the roadside signboard.

As they checked the map, they noticed that, unlike the previous factories, the warehouses in this seed factory were divided into several areas, each designated for different types of seeds.

Area A was for storing fruit seeds. Area B was for vegetable seeds. Area C was for edible plant seeds such as asparagus, wild leek, garlic mustard, etc.

Area D was for flower seeds and shrub plants. Area E was for various edible mushroom spores. Area F was for various coarse grain seeds such as wheat, corn, millet, oats, sorghum, quinoa, brown rice, and rye.

As for the last area, Area G, several warehouses were used to store rice.
