Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 172

After they entered the gas station, Qin Luzi checked the surroundings and said, "The area is clear of zombies."

With his words, everyone relaxed. Sitting in the back, Chen Qianfeng said, "Brother Qin, your ability is so useful."

Qin Luzi didn't respond to his praise at all. Only he knew how exhausting and annoying it was to have a map with blinking dots in his mind all the time.

No matter how hard he tried to ignore the moving dots, they never disappeared. If not for his high level of concentration, the constant activity would have driven him mad.

After parking their cars, they headed to the minimarket to prepare dinner. Since both Feng Yun and Xiao Qi's storage spaces were full, they didn't take any more supplies for now.

Meanwhile, Jiao Lizhi went to check the warehouse. Just as she reached for the door, she suddenly froze. Memories from her past life surged through her mind.

After escaping from Lin'an University, she had come to this very gas station. It was where she first met the government soldiers who were searching for supplies.

She had followed them back to a temporary survivor camp and stayed there for a few months—until the second rain came and Lin'an city completely turned into a zombie city.

Thinking about those days, she wondered, if she had killed that old man earlier, would fewer people have died?

Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice Jin Xuyan walking over until he asked, "Ah Zhi, what are you doing?"

His question snapped her out of her daze. She shook her head and said, "Brother Yan, I'm checking the warehouse."

Jin Xuyan studied her for a moment but saw nothing unusual, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead. I will stand guard."

Jiao Lizhi nodded and went inside to collect supplies. This small gas station didn't have oil drums or gas cylinders, but there was plenty of instant food stored inside.

After she had collected everything into her space, the two of them returned to the minimarket. Once dinner was over, the group took turns doing a night watch while the rest of the team rested.

While the night passed peacefully for them, the same couldn't be said for the Eagle Team.

After finishing their training and enforcing the new rule of exchanging crystal cores for supplies, the divide between the strong and the weak became more obvious.

At that moment, the Eagle Team and Pei Yijun's group were holding a meeting in a small office inside the gas station, while the survivors stayed in the minimarket.

"Captain Wei, what do you plan to do with the survivors who can't kill zombies?" Pei Yijun asked. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"Young Master Pei, do you have any suggestions?" Wei Ying replied calmly.

Pei Yijun smiled when he saw him tossing the question back to him and said, "Captain Wei, you were the one who took them in. You should be the one to decide."

The family members with abilities had no choice but to share whatever supplies they managed to exchange with their ordinary family members.

In a dim corner of the minimarket, a group huddled together after finishing two packs of biscuits and two bottles of water. A woman sat slightly apart from them, her eyes cold and distant as she watched them.

She had risked her life to kill lots of zombies and exchanged two crystal cores she found for the biscuits and water. But before she could even take a sip of water, her father and siblings had snatched everything from her.

No one had asked if she wanted any. No one thanked her. They devoured everything as if it were only natural for her to sacrifice herself for them.

As the last crumbs of biscuits were eaten, a young man—her younger brother—patted his round belly and complained, "Father, I'm still hungry."

Hearing his son's words, the old man sighed and said, "Son, bear it for now. Tomorrow, let your sister kill more zombies and find crystals to exchange for food."

"Father, I don't want to eat the dry biscuits. I want to eat noodles!" the young man said unhappily, frowning in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, we will exchange for noodles then," the old man agreed instantly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Upon hearing her father's words, the woman couldn't help but sneer.
