Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Valuable Crystal ( 1 ) Chapter 52: Valuable Crystal ( 1 ) Jiao Lizhi had no intention of staying with Pei Yijun’s team-it was better to join the soldiers.

After all, soldiers were the most trustworthy people in the apocalypse.

No matter their flaws, their sense of duty and responsibility was high.

They did their best to protect others, often sacrificing their lives for it.

That was also why soldiers were among the first to be wiped out when the apocalypse began.

By the time she died in her past life, there were no real soldiers left.

The so-called “soldiers” or “guards” she saw later were just ability users hired by the base.

Their loyalty followed whoever paid them the most, and to them, ordinary people were nothing more than disposable trash.

Seeing Jiao Lizhi lost in thought, Chu Zhimiao had her answer.

Even though Jiao Lizhi hadn’t outright confirmed it, her reaction to being kissed said enough.  She and Captain Jin must be together.

Otherwise, why didn’t she slap him when she was kissed suddenly?

With that realization, Chu Zhimiao glanced at Pei Yijun and saw his dark expression.

She sighed internally but didn’t dare to say anything to comfort him.

No one was at fault-love was all about timing.

Noticing that his team kept sneaking glances at him, Pei Yijun grew irritated.

“Get ready.

We are heading to the processed food factory.” Hearing his order, they didn’t dare delay any longer and quickly prepared.

Since they didn’t have backpacks, they had to borrow sacks from the soldiers.

Ten minutes later, everything was set.

Jiao Lizhi walked to her car and drove toward the factory entrance.

Seeing this, Jin Xuyan immediately ran after her while shouting, “Ah Zhi, wait for me!” She parked by the gate and stepped out.

Holding a boning knife, she raised her hand and slashed at the chain.

With a loud clang, the lock broke, and she pushed the gate open.

Turning around, she looked at the soldiers and asked, “You guys weren’t planning to walk, were you?

The factory grounds are huge.

If you go on foot, it will take days to collect all the supplies.” Hearing this, Jin Xuyan chuckled and said, “Alright, we will drive the cars.” With his order, the soldiers climbed back into their vehicles and followed Jiao Lizhi inside.

As she drove, she glanced at Jin Xuyan sitting beside her and said, “Brother Yan, I want to check out the seed factory.” “Ah Zhi, can we go there after we finish with the other factories?” Jin Xuyan asked.  “I don’t want to leave my soldiers alone.

Some of them still have high fevers,” he added with a frown.

Jiao Lizhi’s eyes flickered when she heard that.

She thought for a moment and asked, “Brother Yan, do any of you have awakened abilities?” Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, “Right now, nine of us, including me, have awakened abilities.

Six are still in comas.

The rest don’t have any abilities.” “How many people are in your team?” she asked.

At her question, Jin Xuyan lowered his gaze.

After a brief silence, he answered, “Twenty-six.” Noticing his somber mood, Jiao Lizhi understood that there had been casualties before they met and said softly, “Brother Yan, I’m sorry.” Jin Xuyan looked at her and smiled faintly.

He reached out to hold her hand and said, “They were heroes who died on the line of duty.

This is our duty and responsibility as soldiers, so you don’t have to feel sorry.” After that, the two of them fell into silence.

Since the apocalypse began at dawn, only a few zombies wandered around the factory grounds.

The rest were either trapped inside the dormitories or stuck at the guard posts.

When they reached the warehouse area, they parked their cars and got out.

The moment they opened the doors, the nearby zombies turned and rushed toward them.

After the rain, most zombies had been upgraded to level one, their bodies strengthened by the mysterious baptism.

The soldiers, well-trained and battle-hardened, didn’t panic when they saw the incoming zombies.

Instead, they instinctively shifted into combat mode.

Gripping their blades tightly, they stood back to back with their comrades and fought the approaching zombies.  Since the zombies’ strength and agility had increased, the soldiers formed two-man teams to handle each of the zombies so they could fight more effectively.

Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi pulled out her boning knife and joined the fight.

She swung her arm, aiming for a zombie’s neck.

Crack!

Her knife hit the target, but it didn’t sever the neck completely.

“Roar!” With its head half-chopped, the zombie let out a guttural growl and lunged at her.

Its claws slicing through the air toward her chest.

When she saw this, Jiao Lizhi reacted instantly.

She let go of the knife and stepped back.

Then, using her leg as a pivot, she spun around and delivered a powerful kick to the back of the embedded blade.

Crack!

This time, the added force sent the knife through the neck, beheading the zombie.

Its head rolled to the ground as the body collapsed with a dull thud and the ground was covered with black blood.

Jiao Lizhi bent down, retrieved her knife, and scanned her surroundings.

The soldiers had the situation under control, swiftly killing the remaining zombies.

With nothing left for her to do, she crouched down beside the zombie she had killed.

Raising her knife again, she split open its skull.

Stirring the rotting brain matter with the tip of her blade, she found what she was looking for-a small, transparent crystal core.

She picked up the crystal, flicked her fingers to summon a small ball of water, and washed it clean before slipping it into her pocket.

When she stood up, she noticed Chu Zhimiao watching her.

There was doubt and surprise in her gaze, but Jiao Lizhi had no intention of explaining.

Chu Zhimiao recalled the small crystals in Mo Binxue’s pocket earlier, and now, seeing the soldiers picking them up as well, she realized these crystals must be valuable.

She turned to Li Yang and said, “Li Yang, look at the soldiers.

Should we also collect the crystals?” Pls Support my sister!
