Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 232

Still, when Han Jie thought of the disgust in her eyes when she looked at him, the humiliation burned inside him. If he ever saw her again, he vowed to take her by force before he killed her. Just imagining her begging under him made his blood boil.

'That arrogant woman needs to be taught a lesson until she knows her place,' he thought with a stiff smile.

While Han Jie was entertaining himself with thoughts of punishing someone, the situation outside the building wasn't getting better—in fact, it was getting worse.

The zombies' roars grew louder as their numbers increased by the minute.

Among the survivors were several children who had managed to stay alive under the protection of their parents. Some still had one parent with them, but most had lost both.

They trembled in fear but didn't dare make a sound. Hands pressed over their mouths, they shut their eyes tightly and tried to hold in their sobs.

Time crawled by as the red moon rose higher in the sky. The zombies outside grew more frenzied.

By 2 a.m., everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, yet the constant growling outside and the sharp pain of hunger kept them from sleep.

Chu Zhimiao was so hungry that her vision blurred and she felt faint. Although she could create water, in her current state, she didn't even have the strength to summon it.

Leaning on Li Yang's shoulder, her thoughts drifted back to a dark joke Jiao Lizhi once made. Back then, she had looked down on her for laughing, but now she realized how true it was. Never mind worrying about other people's love lives, it was already hard enough just to survive.

While she was lost in thought, Li Yang quietly peeled open a piece of caramel candy and brought it to her lips.

Seeing how weak she was, he shifted slightly to let her rest against his chest. Gently, he coaxed in a low voice, "Miaomiao, open your mouth."

Recognizing his voice, Chu Zhimiao slowly parted her lips. A moment later, something soft and sweet touched her tongue. As the caramel melted in her mouth, a bit of light returned to her eyes.

After a while, she raised her head to look at her childhood friend. Her gaze landed on his chin, where the newly grown beard was unshaved. Then her eyes moved up to his pale, cracked lips. She reached out and touched his lips with her finger.

Li Yang stiffened at her touch. He lowered his head and said with astonishment, "Miaomiao, you—"

Before he could finish, Chu Zhimiao slipped her forefinger into his mouth and focused her energy on the fingertip. A moment later, water trickled out.

Li Yang's eyes widened in shock. He instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but she softly said, "Li Yang, you are dehydrated. Drink."
