Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 143: Sunflower



After getting the map, Jin Xuyan turned to his team and said, "Let's go."

Not long after they left, Xie Changqian said, "Wanyue, keep the supplies."

"Yes, brother."

Xie Wanyue touched the boxes and stored them in her space. Her space was only 30 square meters, but it was enough to store supplies that could last them a month. These supplies took up only a small portion of the space.

With the supplies, Xie Changqian and his team packed up and left the factory. They had no specific destination in mind, so they decided to go to the nearby city, Yunshan City.

Meanwhile, the Phantom team went to the warehouse area. With the map, they were able to get a rough idea of the factories in the district.

Besides this daily necessities factory, there was a solar panel factory, a pharmaceutical factory, and a military ration factory.

When Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan saw the factory list, their eyes flashed with joy. In their previous life, one of the reasons why the government base had sent so many teams to clear Lin'an City was because of these factories.

After the apocalypse, the power needed for base operations was limited, so most bases would pay a high price for solar panels.

Although they could get solar panels from hotels or big companies, the number was far from enough for the entire base's consumption. So, the solar panel factory was one of their main targets.

As for the pharmaceutical and military ration factories, the reason was none other than the food and medicine shortages. While the mission rewards were high, most teams were wiped out due to the high-level zombies in the factory district.

Now, they could eliminate the zombies and take the supplies away. This way, the government wouldn't have to send so many people to their deaths to get the supplies, and they could earn money.

Reaching this conclusion, Jin Xuyan said, "After we finish cleaning up this factory, we will go to these three factories first."

Looking at the red circles drawn on the map, everyone nodded. "Understood."

When they reached the warehouse area, everyone got out of the cars.

Jin Xuyan walked toward Xiao Qi and Feng Yun, handed them a folder, and said, "Xiao Qi, Feng Yun, both of you get the things on the list. If you have any questions, ask Zhang Yuan."

"Yes, Captain."

Then, he looked at the rest of the soldiers and said, "The rest of you follow Old Qin and check the perimeter."

"Yes, Captain."

After assigning the tasks, he turned and saw Jiao Lizhi looking around. Feeling curious, he walked over and asked, "Ah Zhi, what's wrong?"

Pointing to a shrub, Jiao Lizhi said, "Brother Yan, don't you think the area around that shrub is too clean?"

The moment he heard her words, he frowned and looked in the direction she was pointing. Compared to the other areas, which were covered in blood, dust, and rotten flesh, the space around that shrub was indeed too clean.

"Ah Zhi, wait here," he said before walking toward the shrub.

As he got closer, his body tensed as if there was a hidden danger that could threaten his life. When he was two meters away, Jiao Lizhi suddenly shouted, "Brother Yan, be careful!"

Wush! Crack!

A thick vine shot out from the shrub, slicing through the air, aiming for Jin Xuyan's head.

Thanks to Jiao Lizhi's warning, Jin Xuyan managed to dodge the attack. The vine was only an inch away from his throat when he jumped back. As he landed, the vine retreated as fast as it had struck.

Jiao Lizhi rushed over and asked, "Brother Yan, are you hurt?"

Jin Xuyan shook his head and replied, "I'm fine."

He opened his palm and a black flame floated above it. With a flick of his wrist, the black flame shot toward the shrub, igniting upon contact.

While the fire burned, he felt something absorbing his energy and frowned. He waved his hand and extinguished the fire.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Jiao Lizhi's eyes widened in surprise. In front of them, a small plant swayed in the wind, standing in the center of burned soil and white ashes.

She looked closer at the plant and said, "Brother Yan, this plant looks like a sunflower."

Although it had been years since she had read her college books, she still recognized common plants. From its vibrant color, the sunflower was clearly a mutated plant but not a zombie plant.

"Captain, the surrounding area is clear."

As soon as they heard Zhou Huajian's voice, the small plant, which had been swaying slightly, suddenly shot out a needle-like vine toward him.

Stab!

Before they could react, the vine stabbed Zhou Huajian's wrist.

"Ugh!" Feeling a sharp pain, Zhou Huajian let out a grunt.

The next moment, the small plant flew toward him and attached itself to his wrist. Seeing the strange plant, his heart turned cold, and he frantically tried to peel it off.

Jiao Lizhi quickly pulled out her dagger and rushed over, intending to cut off the plant.

As if sensing her intention, the small plant shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, it had turned into a tiny dot and burrowed into Zhou Huajian's vein.

The moment the plant entered his bloodstream, Zhou Huajian felt a burning pain spread through his body.

"Argh!"

He collapsed to the ground, clutching his wrist. The wound from the vine had already closed, and aside from a small bulge moving along his vein, there was no visible sign of anything unusual.

Jin Xuyan's eyes flashed as he grabbed his comrade's arm and sent his energy into his body, attempting to expel the plant.

Unexpectedly, the moment his energy entered Zhou Huajian's body, it was absorbed by the small bulge. However, instead of growing larger, the bulge shrank smaller and smaller until it was no longer visible.

"Brother Yan, what's going on?" Jiao Lizhi asked, a hint of panic in her voice.
