Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 875 875: The Herders ( 8 )

Li Sikai was hacking the system while the rest of the members were collecting the folders containing the experiment data.

Feng Yun scanned the room and saw rows of big glass tubes with blue-colored liquid inside. When he walked closer, he noticed that inside the tubes were people with tubes connected to their mouths and noses.

Their features only retained some human traits and showed more features similar to animals. He stood in front of one of the tubes for a while before he asked, "Is this a chimera?"

Hearing his words, Cheng Rui nodded and replied, "These should be the failed products. Compared to the facility in the Land of Snow, this place looks more rundown. They weren't even willing to throw away these failed subjects."

The moment he said this, the members turned to look at him. Cheng Rui met their gaze and asked, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"Cheng Rui, don't you even have any sympathy toward these pitiful people?" Pei Yixie asked.

"Why should I?" he asked back.

Speechless by his matter-of-fact response, Pei Yixie pointed at him and could only say, "You… you are too much."

Not taking her words seriously, Cheng Rui said, "Maybe for you, this scene is heartbreaking and makes you angry. But for me, this is how I grew up."

He patted one of the nearby tubes and continued, "My brother and I spent 8 years inside this kind of tube. When we left the tube, we were sent to the training ground. For 7 years, we faced countless near-death situations and killed countless people."

"If you are asking me to have sympathy toward others, then I can only disappoint you. I only know that to protect myself, I can't be soft-hearted. No one ever taught me anything except how to kill."

After he finished speaking, the members were too stunned to react. They never expected that he and Cheng Yue were the Facility's experiment subjects.

Without knowing his background and life experiences, they thought that he was cruel and ruthless. Now that they knew the truth, they only felt pity for him.

Growing up in that hell, it was a miracle that he and his brother came out alive.

Noticing their silence, Cheng Rui smiled and said, "Don't pity me. I never felt that my life was bad. I learned a great killing method there, and it saved my brother and my life countless times."

Li Sikai stared at him for a moment and said, "We should finish this up and return to report."

The members snapped back to their senses and nodded.

When they returned, the sun was setting. Seeing their expressions, Xiao Qi was curious and asked, "Brother Sikai, what's wrong?"

Li Sikai waved his hand and went to report his discovery to his Captain. As for the members, they went to take a bath and have dinner.

After dinner, the members gathered together for a meeting. Everyone sat in a circle and waited.

Jin Xuyan sat beside his fiancée and said, "Today, Sikai and our members went out to investigate the group who came before."

He took out the map and placed it on the small table in front of him. He pointed at several circles on the map and said, "From their investigation, these places were where they captured the survivors. And this mountain is where the herders stay."

"So far, we still don't know their intention of capturing so many people. But at the factory area, they found an underground laboratory where the chimeras were stored. Based on the data they gathered, that place must be the hidden lab of the facility."

"Captain, are we going to the mountain tomorrow?" Lin Fei asked.

Jin Xuyan nodded and continued, "Ah Zhi and Beiye also found something. They had checked the mountain and saw Borislav Morozov."

"From the hints, the situation in the Thirteen Colonies must have something to do with him and the organization. Our mission is to bring back Wen Hanyu. But we can't let this matter remain unresolved."

"So, Old Yuan, Junjie, Jian Huan, Jian Ziqin, and Beiye, the five of you will be responsible for looking for Wen Hanyu. The rest of the members, all of you, will follow me to the mountain and investigate the situation."

"Captain, what about those people?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and said, "There is something fishy with them, but we lack information. We still don't know if they are friends or foes. So for now, let them follow Beiye and her team."

He glanced at the members and added, "Everyone should rest early tonight. We will leave at dawn tomorrow."

The members nodded and replied in unison, "Understood."

After the brief meeting, Jiao Lizhi pulled her sister to the side and gave her a lot of supplies and Sthanam crystals. "These should be enough to last 5,000 people for 2 months."

Du Beiye nodded and smiled. "Sister, don't worry. If we run out of supplies, we can just collect some on the way. With Junjie and our members with me, there is nothing to be worried about."

Jiao Lizhi knew, but still couldn't help feeling worried. Looking at her sister's relaxed expression, she let out a sigh and said, "If something happens, inform me immediately."

"Okay," Du Beiye nodded.

After she finished stuffing her sister's inventory bag with supplies, she distributed supplies, her pond water, crystal cores, and Sthanam crystals to the members.

When they saw the generous supplies and a big bag of crystals, the members were surprised. Even when they went to the Lunar Base, they didn't get so many supplies and crystals. While they were full of doubts, they still accepted the items and thanked her.

As the night deepened, Jiao Lizhi lay on her bed but couldn't sleep. Suddenly, she felt the space beside her sink, and she was pulled into a warm embrace.

"Ah Zhi, what are you thinking about?" Jin Xuyan asked.

"It's nothing."

"Are you worried about our mission tomorrow?" he asked again.
