Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Kindness And Hypocrisy
Hearing Jiao Lizhi’s words, the woman nodded and said, “I understand.”

The old man, worried the old woman might suddenly turn into a monster, said, “Daughter, you can’t—”

Before he could finish his words, the woman interrupted him, “Father, this sister is right. We owe this granny a debt, and I have to repay it.”

Meeting his daughter’s firm gaze, the old man finally sighed and said, “Be careful.”

“I will.”

After kissing her son, she handed him to her mother and walked over to take care of the old woman.

Jiao Lizhi turned to Xiao Qi and said, “Xiao Qi, I will have to trouble you to give them some medicine, food, and water.”

“Sister-in-law, leave it to me,” Xiao Qi replied with a smile.

As a former soldier, he hated seeing innocent people die needlessly. So he felt both surprised and impressed when he saw Jiao Lizhi doing her best to save the old woman.

To Jiao Lizhi, although the old woman had been unreasonable, she wasn’t a bad person. Her determination to protect the baby showed that.

So she deserved a chance at survival. As for eavesdropping on their conversation—she was just trying to survive. There was nothing wrong with that.

They stayed at the warehouse for the night, and when the sun rose the next day, the woman noticed the old woman’s skin had turned bluish, and the rotten area on her wrist had spread to her arm. Alarmed, she quickly went to find the soldier.

“Comrade, something’s wrong with the granny,” she said while tugging at Gao Bohai’s sleeve.

Hearing this, Gao Bohai rushed over to check the situation. From a few meters away, he saw the old woman suddenly twitching on the ground. Her fingernails were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, he shouted, “Everyone, get away from her!”

“Roar!”

The moment he spoke, the old granny opened her eyes and let out a deep, hoarse roar.

Crack!

Before the newly transformed zombie could stand up from the ground, a water bullet struck its head, killing it instantly.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events and retreated to a far corner of the warehouse.

Chen Qianfeng looked at them and said calmly, “Don’t worry. It won’t move again.”

Shen Jinzhe walked over and saw the small hole in the zombie’s forehead. While burning the corpse, he commented, “Brother Qianfeng, your accuracy and control over water bullets have improved so fast.”

Hearing this, Chen Qianfeng smiled and replied casually, “Practice makes perfect.”

While the Phantom Team could still joke around, the survivors watched them with a mix of fear, envy, and admiration.

Despite their complicated emotions toward the Phantom Team, they had no other choice but to follow them. No one dared to comment on how casual they seemed after killing someone.

Unlike usual, the Phantom Team didn’t prepare a hot meal but instead distributed dry rations to the survivors. Each person received three packs of biscuits, three bottles of mineral water, a protein bar, and two pieces of caramel candy.

Although it wasn’t much, it was enough to fill their stomachs and give them some energy. Some people ate until they were full without a second thought, while others saved part of the food for emergencies.

After breakfast, Feng Yun took out two buses from his space. These had been left behind by the Eagle Team during their evacuation.

Given four military trucks by the Phantom Team, the Eagle Team had discarded a luxurious RV and three buses. Before they left the factory district, Feng Yun had collected the buses and an RV into his space. Now, the buses were finally being put to use.

After packing up, Jin Xuyan gathered his team members and said, “Zhang Yuan, Shen Jinzhe, and Wen Mo—take the second bus. Wen Kai, Li Sikai, and Zhou Huajian—you are on the first bus.”

“Old Qin, lead the way with Feng Yun and the research team. Yin Yusheng and Gao Bohai will guard the left side. Xiao Qi and Chen Qianfeng will guard the right side. Ah Zhi and I will cover the rear.”

“Understood,” the members replied in unison.

After organizing the team, Feng Yun collected the unused minivans and put them into his space. Under the team’s supervision, the survivors entered the buses without pushing or bickering.

Fifteen minutes later, the team departed from the warehouse. As they passed a warehouse near the entrance, a group of people saw the convoy leaving the husbandry compound.

Seeing this, an old woman shouted, “Everyone, they are leaving! They really have buses and cars!”

Hearing this, everyone rushed out of the warehouse, waving their hands and shouting, “Wait! Please wait for us!”

Driving at the rear of the convoy, Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan both heard the cries and saw the crowd in the rearview mirror. But no matter how loudly the group shouted or pleaded, he didn’t stop the car and left with the team.

Watching the vehicles drive away without slowing down, the people left behind broke into tears and began blaming one another.

Inside the buses, some survivors had also seen what happened. After hesitating for a moment, one of them asked, “Comrade, there are still so many people left. Why don’t we stop and let them come?”

Hearing this, Shen Jinzhe turned to the young woman and said, “If you feel so bad for them, how about you stay behind and give your seat to one of them?”

The moment he said this, the survivors fell silent. Everyone knew who those people were, and they also knew Boss Lin had been taking care of them.

They had seen Boss Lin go out to find food and water with his men for them, but eventually, even he had stopped helping them.

No one knew what happened that caused Boss Lin to give up on them, but if even someone like him couldn’t tolerate them, those people must have had serious problems.

Now that they relied on the Phantom Team for survival, the survivors chose to ignore those left behind.
