Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648: Burdens

As usual, the members would compress the zombie corpses and pack them in metal cubes before Jiao Lizhi stored them in her Space.

This time, they did not go far and decided to stay at a small convenience store nearby. After fighting for a long time, everyone was tired, so they just had a simple meal of steamed buns and chicken soup.

Before they ate, they took a quick bath to clean the dust, sweat, and zombie blood on their bodies.

After dinner, everyone went to sleep, leaving only three people to watch the night. They would change shifts with other members after five hours.

Early the next morning, before the Phantom Team even left the area, Lin Que and his team had already gone to the city center. With the zombies in a radius of twenty kilometers cleared yesterday, their trip was smoother than usual.

Besides avoiding the damaged road, they did not have to stop and clear the zombies. Thanks to this, they managed to reach the location where the target of their mission was located.

The Blood Shadow Team parked their cars on the roadside and locked the doors. Unlike the Phantom Team, they only had several space-type ability-users with limited Space.

Since they had to split the team into two teams, Lin Que only brought two space-type ability-users on this mission and left the other three ability-users for Xue Weiyi.

Due to this, they could only leave the cars on the roadside and walk toward the target’s location. Before they left this morning, Lin Que and his team had already studied the map and terrain around this area.

While this building was located in the city center, half of the building was covered by vines and roots. Raising their heads, they could see a massive tree in the rooftop garden.

Seeing this, one of the members flinched and asked with a hint of fear in her voice, "Captain, are we really going inside?"

Hearing this, Lin Que turned to his members and saw their hesitation. While he understood their hesitation and fear of the unknown, they were now living in the apocalypse, and timidness would only become their downfall.

Although his new members were not trained soldiers, they had experienced a lot of dangerous situations after they joined his team. So, he still wanted them to push to their limits and get stronger.

With this thought, he nodded and said, "Our mission target is that mutant tree. If we do not go inside, how can we get into the rooftop garden?"

When the members heard this, they exchanged glances. Seeing this, the ex-soldiers stepped forward and said, "Captain, we will follow you."

Lin Que looked at the new members and added, "In the future, we will take more missions, and I cannot guarantee that the mission will have a low risk. If you are scared and want to leave now, I will not stop you. But if you leave now, you do not need to come back to the team."

"When I go into the garden, the rest of you will wait outside. I will use my wind blade to cut the branch, and your task is to defend against the attack from the mutant tree. We will not engage in battle against it and will retreat as soon as possible, the moment we get the sample."

After the members heard this, they finally understood that their Captain never had any intention to put their lives in danger. Although the mission seemed dangerous, the risk was actually minimal as long as they did not fight the mutant tree head-on.

Reaching this conclusion, a space-type ability-user could not help but ask, "Captain, since our mission does not have a high risk, why did you not tell us beforehand? It is a pity for our new members to leave the team because of this misunderstanding."

Soon after she said this, another member replied, "They are timid and do not dare to take the risk. Even if they stay in our team, they will become burdensome sooner or later. Rather than carrying such burdens, it is better to remove them now."

"Even so, they had fought along with us for a month," a young woman muttered softly.

"I understand your concern, but we are no longer living in a peaceful era. The moment you play it safe, you will not be able to grow. If you stop progressing, you will be left behind and sooner or later become mediocre," Lin Que shook his head.

When the members heard his words, they went silent and thought about it. Seeing that they understood, Lin Que said, "Alright, if we want to go back today, we should finish this mission as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the members nodded and replied in unison, "Understood."
