Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: A Frog Trapped In A Well ( 3 ) Chapter 76: A Frog Trapped In A Well ( 3 ) When Pei Yijun reached Chu Zhimiao’s location, he saw she was sobbing while clutching Luo Jing’s lifeless body.

A cold sense of dread gripped Pei Yijun’s heart.

He carefully set Han Jie down before he walked closer.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, though deep down, he already knew the answer.

Chu Zhimiao raised her tear-streaked face and choked out, “Brother Pei-Brother Luo is gone.

He-” Her voice broke and she couldn’t continue her words.

Pei Yijun’s chest tightened at her words.

He shook his head and said, “No… That’s impossible!

Luo Jing wouldn’t die.” Pushing past her, he knelt beside Luo Jing and grabbed his cold body.

His hands trembled as he pressed his fingers to Luo Jing’s neck, searching for a pulse.

Seconds passed but he felt nothing.

There was no pulse, no heartbeat, no breath, and no warmth.

Feeling the warmth slowly leaving Luo Jing’s body, realization finally fell on him.

His friend was dead-and it was because of him.

Because of his arrogance, his pride, and his blind insistence on doing things his own way-Luo Jing died.

If only he had been more cautious.

If only he had taken the danger more seriously.

If only he listened to Jin Xuyan’s arrangement.

If only he had made a different choice-Luo Jing might still be alive.

He had always taken pride in his noble background and his refined upbringing.

But when Feng Yun’s life was uncertain, he had done nothing.

And now, because of his foolishness, another friend is gone.

Suddenly, Jin Xuyan’s mocking gaze surfaced in his mind.  He had been a fool.

A sheltered child playing at leadership.

A spoiled young master who thought he was a prodigy.

He had always believed others should follow him, that his decisions were the best.

He had taken loyalty, friendship, and kindness for granted.

Even when the world had collapsed into chaos, he still believed-deep down-that his life was more valuable than others, despite what he claimed aloud about equality.

Only now, as he held his friend’s cold, lifeless body, did he understand.

He was nothing but a fool.

A clown.

A frog trapped in a well.

A bitter laugh escaped his lips before turning into sobs.

Burying his head against Luo Jing’s shoulder, he whispered, “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry.

Luo Jing, this is all my fault.” Chu Zhimiao’s tears dripped onto the dusty floor as she watched him cry.

In all the time she had known Pei Yijun, she had never seen him cry let alone see him lower his head and apologize to anyone.

And yet, here he was-crying bitterly full of regret and self blaming.

After a while, Chu Zhimiao finally stopped crying.

Her eyes were swollen, and she wiped her tears away with the back of her hand.

When she raised her head, she saw that Pei Yijun was still hugging Luo Jing’s cold body, but he was no longer crying.

She reached out to pat his back and said hoarsely, “Brother Pei, we can’t stay here for too long.

The scent of blood is too strong-” Before she could finish, Pei Yijun’s hoarse voice interrupted her, “Miaomiao, can you check on Han Jie’s condition first?” Chu Zhimiao was taken aback.

It was the first time he had ever called her Miaomiao.

Thinking that he still needed time to calm down, she nodded and went to check on Han Jie.

After she left, Pei Yijun finally lifted his head.

The arrogance and pride that once filled his eyes were gone, replaced with a newfound determination, calmness, and maturity.

He gently placed Luo Jing’s body down and held his cold hand.

Looking at his pale face, he whispered, “Luo Jing, I know you wanted to find your sister.

I will find her and protect her in your stead.

You can rest easy now.” When he finished speaking, he sent his thunder energy into Luo Jing’s body.

In less than two minutes, the surging thunder coursing through his veins reduced his body to ashes.

Chu Zhimiao had just reached Han Jie’s side when she caught the scent of something burning.

She turned around and saw that Luo Jing’s body was gone-only a pile of ashes remained.

Lowering her teary gaze, she squatted beside Han Jie and tried to wake him, “Brother Han, wake up.” Meanwhile, Pei Yijun placed his hand over the ashes.

Channeling his energy into his palm, he used the high temperature of his thunder to compress the ashes into a diamond.

Once the diamond was formed, he picked it up and used his thunder energy to create a small hole in it.

Then, he pulled out his necklace, removed the pendant, and threaded the diamond onto the string.  After securing it back around his neck and tucking it under his T-shirt, his expression remained calm.

Turning around, he saw that Han Jie had woken up.  Walking over, he asked, “Han Jie, how are you?

Are you okay?” Han Jie winced and touched the back of his head and said, “Brother Pei, I’m fine.” “Your arm is dislocated.

We need to find a healer or someone who can fix it,” Chu Zhimiao said.

Pei Yijun nodded and said, “Once Li Yang wakes up, we should get the clothes and leave.” Just as he finished speaking, they heard footsteps approaching.

Thinking it was a group of zombies, Pei Yijun quickly raised his hand and formed a thunderball.

The moment a shadow appeared at the entrance, he threw it without hesitation.

Outside the warehouse, Zhang Yuan heard the crackling of thunder and energy fluctuation and reacted instantly.

Raising his hand, he summoned a stone wall in front of him.

Boom!

The thunderball collided with the stone wall, creating a small shockwave.

Before Pei Yijun could launch another attack, a familiar voice rang out.

“Young Master Pei, you are certainly full of energy,” Jin Xuyan said.

Recognizing the voice, Pei Yijun let out a sigh of relief and waved his hand.

In an instant, the thunder balls floating above his palm disappear.
