Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Temporary Bath House
The water blade stopped just two centimeters from her throat. The woman didn’t dare to move as she could feel the cold air radiating from the blade.

Seeing her pale face and noticing that she had wet herself, Jiao Lizhi clicked her tongue and said with a smile, “So useless! The reason is simple, because I’m strong, and you are weak.”

Noticing the hatred in the woman’s eyes, Jiao Lizhi added with a smile, “If you hate me, then get stronger and fight back. If you can’t, then live the rest of your life being trampled by the strong.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her fist, and the water blade turned into a splash of water that drenched the woman’s face.

After witnessing her display of power, the large group of people became more obedient. Though her methods were crude and harsh, they were effective.

As she sat there, the soldiers finally brought over several large iron pots and asked, “Sister-in-law, can you help us fill these pots?”

“Sure,” Jiao Lizhi replied.

With a wave of her hand, several water balls appeared above the pots and poured in.

Watching her effortlessly control the water, Chu Zhimiao let out a long sigh.

Hearing this, Li Yang turned to look at her and asked, “Miaomiao, what’s wrong?”

Chu Zhimiao let out another long sigh and asked, “Li Yang, why do you think there is such a huge difference in strength and skill when both Lizhi and I are water-type ability users?”

When he heard her question, Li Yang thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know, but everyone is different. Even if you aren’t as strong as her, you have your own merits for sure.”

“Then, what is my merit?” Chu Zhimiao asked curiously.

“I don’t know,” Li Yang shrugged.

The moment she heard his answer, Chu Zhimiao rolled her eyes and said, “I shouldn’t have asked you.”

Li Yang laughed when he saw her rolling her eyes and said, “Miaomiao, you told me before that I am me and I don’t have to compare myself with others. So, why are you comparing yourself with Jiao Lizhi now?”

“No matter how strong she is, it has nothing to do with you. You only need to focus on yourself and walk your road confidently.”

When she heard his words, Chu Zhimiao’s eyes lit up. At that moment, she felt as if the fog covering her eyes had finally disappeared.

Her friend was right. In this world, there was only one Chu Zhimiao. So, she didn’t have to compare herself to Jiao Lizhi since they were different people to begin with. She would find her own path one day.

After reaching this conclusion, she no longer felt depressed and said, “Li Yang, thank you!”

“Well, you are welcome,” Li Yang said and added, “You should go to sleep now; it’s late.”

“Okay!”

Since there was no pillow, Li Yang spread his arm so she could use it as a pillow.

Chu Zhimiao was indeed tired, and with the roller coaster of emotions she had experienced, she soon fell into a dreamless sleep the moment her head lay on Li Yang’s arm.

Two hours later, no one showed signs of mutating, so the soldiers arranged a place for the group of commoners to sleep and built a bonfire for them.

At this moment, everyone received a bottle of mineral water, two packs of biscuits, and a strip of cold and fever medicine from the soldiers. Some of them were too hungry and finished all the food, while others only ate some and saved the rest for later.

On the soldiers’ orders, they took the medicine before going to sleep. Even after changing their wet clothes, they were still drenched and might catch a cold.

At this moment, Jiao Lizhi was sitting near the bonfire with her eyes closed, trying to circulate the energy in her body, when a group of women came over.

Noticing their footsteps, she opened her eyes and asked, “Do you need anything from me?”

Seeing her delicate, clean face, one of the women clenched her fists and asked, “Sister, can you give us some water? We haven’t washed our bodies for a few days.”

When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi understood. As a woman, she knew how uncomfortable it was not being able to wash up properly. Since they asked politely, she didn’t mind helping them.

Standing up, she said, “Follow me.”

Not knowing where she was taking them, the woman hesitated for a moment before following her. Seeing this, the rest of the group also followed.

Jiao Lizhi brought them to the Wen brothers. Standing in front of them, she asked, “Brother Wen Mo, can you help me build a bathtub four meters in width and length and one and a half meters deep?”

When Wen Mo heard this, he nodded and said as he stood up, “Okay.”

He pushed his brother and said, “Brother, give me some metal.”

Wen Kai was woken up by his brother and saw a group of women watching him. Startled by their gazes, he woke up instantly. After hearing his brother’s explanation, he created a huge lump of metal before going back to sleep.

Wen Mo glanced at the group of women and, with a wave of his hand, started to shape the metal lump into a bathtub. Five minutes later, a huge bathtub similar to the one in a bathhouse appeared.

Taking their privacy into account, he placed the bathtub against the wall and used the rest of the metal lump to create a metal partition, leaving only a small opening as a door.

“Sister-in-law, it’s done. You only need to use clothes or fabric to cover the opening,” he said with a smile.

Jiao Lizhi was satisfied with his consideration and decided to reward him. She took out a bar of chocolate from her pocket and handed it to him while saying, “Thank you.”

Wen Mo accepted the chocolate and left happily.
