Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 252

Chapter 252: Rejection
“Captain, we don’t have many members. In the future, some of our members might have to stay in the lab to do research. So, it’s not a bad thing to recruit more members,” Shen Jinzhe added.

Jin Xuyan had no intention of keeping this man in his team. But what his members said also made sense. In the future, the situation would become more dangerous, and with their current strength, it might not be enough.

After he considered the pros and cons, he turned to his girlfriend and asked, “Ah Zhi, what do you think about this matter?”

When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi replied without hesitation, “Brother Yan, I will follow your decision.”

Hearing her reply, Jin Xuyan made up his mind. Since his girlfriend didn’t care too much about this man, then it was alright to let him join his team.

After all, this person would become one of the big guys in the future. Roping him into his team was not a bad thing.

After a moment of pause, he walked closer to him and said, “You can join my team, but you have to keep your distance from my girlfriend. She is mine.”

“Captain, I don’t know what makes you have the impression that I’m interested in your girlfriend. But you can rest assured. As I said, I don’t have any interest in becoming a third party,” Li Qixuan replied with a smile.

Jin Xuyan glanced at him for a moment before he said, “Old Qin, I will leave him under your supervision. Feng Yun, you will learn under Li Sikai.”

“Understood.”

Since they had a new member, everyone introduced themselves and decided to have a hotpot to welcome him to the team. When Jiao Lizhi heard this, she pulled Xiao Qi to the corner and took out a pot of soup she had cooked before.

“Sister-in-law, when did you prepare this?” Xiao Qi asked.

“When I have nothing to do, I prepare some soup,” Jiao Lizhi replied casually.

Then, she took out some fresh ingredients, such as eggs, meat, and vegetables. She also took out some glass noodles and said, “Keep it. The new member doesn’t know about my space, and your captain doesn’t want him to know. So, you have to act as my cover.”

Xiao Qi nodded and replied seriously, “Sister-in-law, leave it to me. I will become a good shield for you.”

After he stored the ingredients in his space, the two of them walked back as if nothing had happened. That night, they had hotpot for dinner before they took turns to sleep.

Meanwhile, Wei Ying and his team almost turned bald from worry. At this moment, several leaders, including Wei Ying, were sitting in the meeting room while they were having a phone call using satellite communication.

“Captain Wei, we hope you can understand our difficulty. The situation on our side is not better than yours. We really cannot spare any people to help you clear the horde.”

Hearing the rejection for the nth time, Wei Ying’s face darkened.

He took a deep breath to calm down before he tried to change the other party’s mind, “Comrade Pei, you have to understand that if we leave the zombie horde alone, the situation will get out of hand one day. This is not the time for you to preserve your strength and ignore the big matter.”

“What’s more, your son and his team are still trapped in the middle of the zombie horde. Are you not going to do anything to save him?” he asked.

As soon as he said these words, the other let out a chuckle and said, “Captain Wei, I forgot to inform you. My son and his team have already returned safely. They also cleared out one-fourth of the zombies.”

“Since my son already helped you clear out some zombies, I think we have done enough. Regarding this matter, my base won’t intervene. You can do as you see fit.”

The moment he finished his words, the call was hung up.

When they heard the busy tone coming from the phone, one of the leaders slammed the table and said angrily, “Those capitalists only know how to calculate their benefits and never think about the consequences of their actions!”

Everyone had the same thoughts as him, but no one had the time to complain. Right now, their priority was how to handle the zombie horde. With each passing day, the number of zombies continued to grow.

If they didn’t act as soon as possible, their chance of victory would be less than 1%. By then, forget about clearing the zombies, they could only do their best to escape.

“Captain Wei, what should we do now?” one of the leaders asked.

Wei Ying frowned deeply as he thought. After a long silence, he finally said, “Everyone, right now, we don’t have enough manpower to clear the zombie horde.”

“I will find a way to contact other survivor camps to see if we can get some help in two days. Before that, I need everyone to organize our people and prepare for evacuation.”

He looked at everyone and said, “If there is no solution in two days, my team will stay behind to buy time while everyone evacuates.”

The moment he said these words, the leaders were taken aback.

While they had also experienced battle in their youth, it had been years since they retired from the battlefield and went behind the screen. Now facing a crisis, they didn’t fear death, but they no longer had the power to fight, leaving them feeling helpless.

After a moment of silence, one of the leaders finally said, “Captain Wei, we will follow your decision.”

Wei Ying nodded at him, stood up, and left without looking back. His vice captain nodded at the leaders and followed him.

When they were outside the meeting room, the vice captain asked, “Captain, we have tried to contact other survivor camps, but so far, there has been no reply at all.”

“There is one more camp we haven’t contacted,” Wei Ying replied.

Hearing this, the vice captain’s eyes flashed for a moment before he asked, “Captain, you mean Xun Che’s camp?”

“Prepare the car. I will go visit him personally tomorrow,” Wei Ying said.

“Understood.”
