Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 653: Benefactor ( 2 )

Standing beside Jin Xuyan, Qin Luzi checked his map and said, "Captain, those people are inside."

Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "We are here to check on their situation, and there is no need to interact with them."

Although the members did not know what their Captain wanted to do, they still nodded and replied in unison, "Understood."

After Jiao Lizhi stored their cars in her space, they walked toward the entrance. When they stood outside the rolling doors, the people inside had already noticed them.

Seeing that the number of the newcomers was only half of theirs, the group did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, they stared at them with wariness.

If they were not mistaken, these people should be the ones killing all the zombies in this area. With this thought, they looked at their Captain, waiting for his instruction.

At this moment, Xie Changqian was surprised when he saw the Phantom Team. The last time he saw them was during the zombie horde in the Lin’an City factory district.

After the Eagle Team escorted most of the survivors to the Lin’an City Base, he and his family decided to return to their hometown and search for their family. Unfortunately, they had either turned into zombies or died during the escape.

Now, finally meeting his benefactor again, he felt happy. He quickly went to open the rolling door.

When his team members saw this, they thought that he did not want to get into trouble or fight those people head-on. Even though they thought this was a good approach, they could not help but feel unhappy.

They had not even had a bite of their dinner. Would their newly found supplies be taken away by others again?

Not knowing what they were thinking, Xie Changqian had already opened the door and walked out.

At first, Wen Mo wanted to use his ability to open the door. But before he even made a move, the door was open. The sound of the rolling door echoed as it was pushed up.

Seeing a man in his thirties standing in front of him, he said, "Comrade, we are looking for a place to stay the night."

Hearing this, Xie Changqian nodded and said, "Comrade, please come inside."

Noticing his overenthusiastic behavior, Jin Xuyan glanced at Pei Yixie. Nodding at her brother, she used her mind-reading ability to hear the man’s thoughts.

After a while, she turned to her brother and said, "Brother, this man knows you and our team. He has no bad intentions. Instead, he seems to be happy to meet all of you."

When everyone heard this, they were taken aback. But since this person had no bad intentions, they no longer worried about anything and entered the building.

As soon as they walked in, they met a group of people who were staring at them with scrutiny.

Xie Changqian closed the door and locked it before he went to his team and explained, "Everyone, these people are my benefactors. I hope everyone will not make things difficult for them and me. We will be sharing this place for one night."

The moment they heard this, some of them seemed to realize something, and one of them asked, "Captain, are they the ones who saved your and your family’s lives from the zombie horde?"

Xie Changqian nodded and replied, "Without their help, my family and I would have lost our lives back then."

Most of his members were either neighbors, people from the same hometown, or distant relatives, so they had heard about how he and his family escaped from a zombie horde at the beginning of the apocalypse.

When they heard his story, they thought that those people who sacrificed their lives to save others during the chaotic time were admirable. Now they finally met them in person.

Due to the rose-tinted filter, their animosity was reduced by more than half, and their gazes became friendlier.

Noticing the changes in their emotions, Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Comrades, we did not think that much back then."

"Even so, it is a fact that you and your team saved my family and me," Xie Changqian said. After a moment of pause, he added, "Comrade, we found a lot of supplies on the second floor. Your team can take half of them."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi waved her hands and said, "No need. We have enough supplies."

Knowing that they must have more than enough supplies, Xie Changqian did not insist and let them choose a place.

The Phantom Team chose the corner near the back room and cleaned the area. They moved the shelves and created an area of twenty square meters. With the shelves filled with goods, they could block unwanted gazes.

While Xie Changqian and his team were having instant noodles for dinner, Jiao Lizhi took out twenty-four roasted mutant hares from her space. These hares had been cleaned, marinated, and roasted using the oven.

To ensure that the members had a balanced meal, she also took out a basin of vegetable salad and three basins of steamed rice. When she took out the food, the fragrance wafted in the air, making Xie Changqian and his team members salivate.

As the Phantom Team had their dinner, one of the ability-users took a peek and saw the roasted mutant hare in Mo Junjie’s hand.

The size of the hares was as big as a turkey and should weigh around five to six kilograms each.

For ordinary people, one hare of this size could feed at least fifteen people in the apocalypse. But for level-one ability-users, one hare could feed at least five people.

Reaching this conclusion, he suddenly felt that the instant noodles no longer tasted as delicious as before. The same thing also happened to the rest of the people.

Noticing that their gazes were glued to the Phantom Team’s direction, Xie Changqian reminded them, "Those people are very strong. All of you should behave. If you offend them, I cannot guarantee your safety."

After he finished his words, he quickly finished his noodles and went to sleep. Without the zombies wandering outside, the night was silent, and he was finally able to have a good rest.
