Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 720: Zombified Cockroach ( 2 )

Standing under the moonlight, Jiao Lizhi’s expression was hidden by the shadows.

Feng Zirui stood a few meters away from her and said, "We have nothing to do with each other. You and your team can stay for the night, but you have to leave tomorrow."

Jiao Lizhi observed him from head to toe before she asked, "Do you still have supplies for the children?"

The moment she said this, Feng Zirui narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Seeing the killing intent flashing in his eyes, Jiao Lizhi smiled and took out her ID. She showed it to him and said, "I’m a member of the Phantom Team from the Lin’an City Base. We came here on a mission to clear the zombies."

"Since it’s fate that we met here, I thought of helping you and the children out. There is a newly established base located in the Green Lake residential area. This base is under the Lin’an City Base."

After she said this, she threw a small book at him and continued, "These are the regulations and rules of the Green Lake Base. If you are interested in joining, I can give you enough food and water for two weeks and a car."

Feng Zirui checked the metal plate and read the information. He was surprised by her background, but he was still full of doubt. He didn’t check the book and asked her instead, "Why do you want to help me?"

Jiao Lizhi smiled and replied, "Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not helping you, but the children. The Lin’an City Base places great importance on children’s safety."

When he heard this, Feng Zirui thought for a moment and said, "If what you said is true, then give me the food and water first."

Knowing that he wouldn’t trust her easily, Jiao Lizhi didn’t insist. She waved her hand. The next moment, a pile of food and water appeared in front of her.

Since they were malnourished and weak, she took out two gallons of pond water, two boxes of self-heating porridge, a basket of strawberries, and a basket of omelets.

"You can take this first. My team will leave tomorrow, so you’d better make up your mind tonight," Jiao Lizhi said before she walked away.

Staring at the food and water, Feng Zirui was stunned. He looked at her back for a long time before carrying the food and water into the convenience store.

The moment the children saw the food and water, they couldn’t help but swallow hard. One of the children said, "Brother, it smells so good. Can I have one?"

Another child stared at the water and asked hoarsely, "Brother, can I have a cup of water?"

Hearing this, Feng Zirui said, "I will taste it first."

The children nodded and waited while he tasted the water and food. Only after he was sure that there was no problem with the supplies did he divide the food and water.

He gave each child a bottle of water, one bowl of porridge, and several omelets. After the apocalypse, this was the first time they were able to have a full meal.

After they finished eating, Feng Zirui said, "That person said she will give us supplies and a car as long as we agree to join the Green Lake Base. Do you want to go?"

Even though the children were young, they knew that they couldn’t depend on others forever. They wanted to become stronger and protect their brother and friends.

After a moment of silence, the older child asked, "Brother, if we go there, will you come with us?"

Feng Zirui thought about his family and said, "I can’t promise that I will stay with you all forever. I still have to look for my family. But I promise you that if you want to go, I will make sure you are well taken care of before leaving."

The light in the children’s eyes dimmed at his words. They thought about life without him and wanted to cry, but when they thought about his desire to find his parents, they held it back.

After a long silence, the youngest child finally said, "Brother, I want to go."

She didn’t want to become a burden to him. If he wanted to find his family, she would support him. The only thing she could do for him was take care of herself and not make him worry. If going to that place could give him peace of mind, she would go.

When the other children heard her words, they finally nodded and said in unison, "Brother, we also want to go."

Seeing that none of them objected, Feng Zirui said, "Then go to sleep. We will leave this place tomorrow."

"Okay."

The children huddled together and slept on the old mattresses while Feng Zirui kept watch through the night. With a group of strangers nearby, he couldn’t let down his guard.

At the same time, Jiao Lizhi told the members about Feng Zirui and the children. After they discovered that the 6 ordinary people were actually children, they couldn’t help but admire the young man who protected them.

"It must be hard for him to protect the children. Sister-in-law, your decision to help them is right. With more children, we will have more hope," Xiao Qi said.

"Sister-in-law, you said that he is mutating. How do you plan to help him?" Feng Yun asked.

"Judging from his condition, he might need to use a black crystal. I’m worried that he might die before he even reaches the base. So, I need someone to go with him," Jiao Lizhi said.

Mo Junjie thought about the news he had heard before about ability-users mutating and turning into zombies. He was curious about the cause and the result. He needed to find out the problem and solve it, or it would become a hidden danger in the future.

With this thought, he raised his hand and volunteered, "Sister-in-law, I will go."

Hearing his words, Du Beiye glanced at him but said nothing. Mo Junjie noticed her look and smiled.
