Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 791: New Categorization ( 3 )

While Mo Junjie was thinking about how to make Du Beiye confess, Feng Xiu asked, "Comrade, what do you mean by my body rejecting food and water without energy?"

"It means that you will vomit whenever you eat them. So, you can only consume food and water that contain energy, such as mutant animals or mutant plants. If you don’t have them, you can just absorb the crystal core’s energy," Du Beiye explained.

"I won’t die if I don’t eat?"

"Well, you won’t die, but you will starve. Your body only needs energy, but you have been living as a human for so many years. Your psychological state will affect your thoughts and make you feel hungry even if you are not."

"Comrade Du, what do you mean by that?" Wen Hanli asked.

Du Beiye looked at him and replied, "She is no longer human, so her body’s needs will be different from humans."

"I’m no longer human?" Feng Xiu asked in disbelief.

Du Beiye thought for a moment before she said, "According to the term used by most people, you should be categorized as a mutant now. But unlike the mutants created from experiments, you are a mutant born naturally. You can think of it as passing Nature’s selection."

"In my hometown, we categorized mutants based on their combat power and their innate talent. If I’m not wrong, you should be a magic wielder, which makes you classified as a magician. As for your rank, your current level can be counted as a C-rank."

After she said this, the room fell into a long silence.

"Then, how about you?" Mo Junjie asked.

"Me?" Du Beiye asked him back.

He nodded and said, "Yes, what is your class?"

Du Beiye knew that he was trying to probe into her secret. But they were friends, and she was willing to share some knowledge with him. "Back in my hometown, I’m a fighter class."

"What is your rank?" This time, it was Wen Hanli who asked. He was curious about how strong she was.

"I’m an SSS-rank."

The moment they heard this, they were stunned.

"How many SSS-ranks are there in your hometown?" Wen Hanli asked again.

This time, Du Beiye only smiled and said nothing. The information she shared with him and Feng Xiu was more than enough. The detailed information could only be shared with her trusted friend.

Seeing that she refused to say more, Wen Hanli didn’t insist.

He planned to send his people to investigate Du Beiye’s background later. He must know where she came from and whether her hometown would pose a danger to the Lin’an City Base.

They stayed in the room for a while. After Mo Junjie finished taking the blood sample and checked Feng Xiu’s condition with his energy, they left the quarantine area.

After Wen Hanli sent Mo Junjie and Du Beiye to the special laboratory area, he returned to his office.

At noon, the Phantom Team members had enough rest and regained their energy. So, they went to patrol the area.

Although the area within a radius of 2 kilometers around the base had been cleared of snow and zombies, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t be attacked by a zombie horde after the winter passed.

While Jin Xuyan led the members to clear the snow and kill the zombies, Jiao Lizhi was on her way to the farmland area.

Since they were planting crops using a hydroponic method, she thought that they wouldn’t be able to plant anything due to the cold temperature. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the farmland area, she saw a lot of people coming and going.

When the guards saw her, they recognized her instantly. It was thanks to her that they did not run out of water in the past few months. After they gave her a salute, one of the guards asked, "Comrade Jiao, what brought you here today?"

Jiao Lizhi returned their salute and replied, "I came to check the situation and at the same time want to do some training."

The moment the guards heard her words, their eyes lit up. Whenever she trained her ability, they would get a lot of water.

"Comrade Jiao, it’s great that you are back. We are almost running out of water. Although we hired a lot of water-type ability-users, their daily supply was barely enough to support the entire base’s daily consumption of drinking water."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi only nodded and didn’t comment on this matter. Not everyone was like her and her teammates. They had limited energy, and selling water to the survivors directly was more profitable than selling it to the base.

If not for the rule that every water-type ability-user had to sell their water to the base in a fixed amount according to their level, perhaps only a few would be willing to contribute to the base.

While this fact was chilling, it was human nature after all. No one could blame another.

"How about the farmland?" she asked after a moment of silence.

"Thanks to Captain Jin and Commander Xun’s preparation, we have more than enough fuel to turn on the heaters and keep the temperature warm."

When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "Then, I will go to the reservoir first."

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Jiao," the guards thanked her with a smile.

Looking at their red fingers, Jiao Lizhi took out five boxes of ibuprofen, ten boxes of ointment to prevent frostbite, twenty boxes of disposable heat packs, and twenty boxes of foot warmer insoles from her space.

These items were collected from Lunar City. Due to their colder climate, there were a lot of winter supplies there. She looked at the guards and said, "The weather is getting colder, and it’s easy to get frostbite. These items can prevent frostbite. Share them with the guards."

Seeing the items, the guards felt grateful. They needed to stand guard outside, and most of them had suffered from frostbite. These items really came at the right time.

"We will. Thank you, Comrade Jiao."

Jiao Lizhi nodded at them and walked to the reservoir area.
