Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 91

Chapter 91: A New Team Member
Jin Xuyan looked at Han Jie and said calmly, “I have lost a total of 53 men since the apocalypse. Most of them turned into zombies and killed my comrades. To save the rest of my men, I killed them with my own hands. Trust me, I know more than you do.”

The moment he heard those words, Han Jie was stunned. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry.”

“I understand your grief, but you must become stronger and live bravely so you won’t let down the sacrifices of your comrades,” Jin Xuyan said.

Before leaving, he added, “Pei Yijun, I will contact the Eagle Team and ask them to escort you to Jiangning City.”

Hearing this, Pei Yijun finally looked at him and asked, “You are not going?”

“When you meet the commander, please relay my message. My Phantom Team has decided to retire, and we will no longer accept any orders. We won’t take the rewards—we are just asking for permission to go find our family,” Jin Xuyan said.

After saying this, he turned and walked toward Feng Yun. This time, instead of standing in front of him, he sat down beside him.

He looked at the young man with a smile in his eyes. He never expected that in this life, he would be able to recruit this strong general. With him joining the team, their attack power would be greatly increased.

After a moment, Feng Yun opened his eyes and turned his head, only to meet Jin Xuyan’s calm gaze. He smiled at him and said, “Captain Jin, thank you for believing in me and saving my life.”

“It was you who saved your own life. I only gave you some aid,” Jin Xuyan replied.

Hearing this, Feng Yun chuckled and said, “Even so, I would still like to thank you and your team. If not for your help, I might have died from the fever—or worse, turned into a zombie.”

Jin Xuyan nodded and changed the topic. “What’s your plan next?”

Feng Yun looked at Pei Yijun’s team and said, “I can’t go back, and I don’t plan to return to my friend’s team. So, I was wondering… could I follow you and your team instead, Captain Jin?”

“We are not going to Jiangning City. Are you sure you still want to join me?” Jin Xuyan asked.

“Where are you going, then?”

“I’m planning to go to Sanchou City to find my soldiers’ families.”

When Feng Yun heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, “Captain Jin, my family also lives in Sanchou City! Can I go with you?”

Jin Xuyan studied him for a moment before saying, “Once you join my team, you must remain loyal. I won’t tolerate betrayal. But I can promise you that everyone in my team is treated equally, like my own brothers.”

Feng Yun was taken aback by his words but understood that, given his different background, Jin Xuyan needed absolute loyalty from anyone who joined his team.

“If you can’t commit to that, it’s better you don’t join us. You are welcome to travel with us to Sanchou City, but once we arrive, we will go our separate ways,” Jin Xuyan added.

Feng Yun considered the pros and cons for a while before finally making up his mind. He looked Jin Xuyan in the eyes and said firmly, “Captain Jin, I swear to remain loyal to you and your team. As long as you help me find my family, I will follow you for the rest of my life.”

Standing up, Jin Xuyan said, “You don’t need to swear, and I don’t need empty promises. Prove it with your actions.”

With that, he turned and walked away, calling out, “Come over and help our brothers cook dinner.”

Hearing this, Feng Yun smiled and followed him to the soldiers’ camp. When they arrived, Qin Luzi said, “Kid, go fetch some water.”

Feng Yun nodded and started looking around for Li Sikai. He assumed the soldiers would be using bottled mineral water, but just as he took several steps, Qin Luzi’s voice stopped him.

“Where are you going?”

Turning around, he replied, “Didn’t you ask me to get water?”

Qin Luzi pointed to the large iron pots on the side and said, “That water.”

Feng Yun let out a soft “Oh” and walked over. When he arrived, he saw Jiao Lizhi eating sausages while filling the iron pots with water. He hesitated as he watched the water flow from her fingertips, frowning.

Would he really have to drink water that came from her body?

Noticing his reluctance, Jiao Lizhi said, “The water created by water-type ability users is much purer and cleaner than mineral water. If you don’t want to drink it, that’s fine too.”

“Junior Sister, I didn’t mean to look down on you, it’s just that—”

Jiao Lizhi raised an eyebrow, following his gaze, and let out a chuckle. She withdrew her hand, and the water stopped flowing.

Standing up, she said, “Senior Feng, I can create a water ball instead, but that would consume more energy. What’s more, in the future, you might even need to drink your own urine to survive. So, you should be grateful to have fresh water.”

Without waiting for his response, she walked away. Feng Yun watched her go, deep in thought.

After a moment, he sighed and waved his hand. In an instant, a large iron pot disappeared from the ground. He walked back to Qin Luzi and retrieved the pot from his space.

As soon as the pot appeared beside him, Qin Luzi remarked, “So, you also have a space-type ability.”

Feng Yun nodded and asked, “Brother, is there anything else I can help with?”

“Go wash the bowls and chopsticks,” Qin Luzi said.

Since he was now eating from their supplies, Feng Yun had no objections to doing his share of the work. He walked over to join Xiao Qi and Shen Jinzhe in washing the utensils.
