Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Gu Shaoze stood up and replied, "Captain Wei, we did leave and made it to the border of Jiangning City. But on our way, we saw a large group of zombies near the border area. So, we decided to come back and inform you."

The soldiers' expressions turned solemn as soon as they heard this. The smile on Wei Ying's face disappeared. "Comrade Gu, how many zombies did you see?" he asked.

"From a rough estimate, the number should be around 1,000 and still growing."

Everyone gasped in shock. Even 500 zombies would be difficult to fend off. 1,000 zombies was nearly impossible for them.

Before they could recover from the shock, Gu Shaoze added, "Besides that, we were also able to contact Li Yang and learned that they were trapped in a building in the middle of the horde."

"How's the situation on their side?" Wei Ying asked, frowning deeply.

Even though Pei Yijun was no longer his responsibility after being handed over to the escort team, the time they had spent fighting side by side had built a sense of camaraderie.

"For now, they are safe," Gu Shaoze said. "But they don't have any food or water, so they won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Wei Ying went silent for a moment before saying, "I will contact the people from Jiangning and see if we can work together to clear out the zombie horde. If we leave it unchecked, it will cause serious trouble later."

"Captain Wei, my team and I will stay here to see if we can help with anything," Gu Shaoze offered.

Wei Ying nodded and said, "Thank you. I will arrange a place for you and your team to stay."

After their brief conversation, Wei Ying and his group returned to the base to begin preparations. Gu Shaoze and his team waited outside for two hours before being led to a house near the Eagle Team's residence.

While Wei Ying was busy discussing countermeasures with the leaders of the temporary survival camp and the officials from Jiangning City, the Phantom Team had already cleared out two apartment complexes.

By the time the sun was setting, they had finished clearing the area.

As they rode back to base, Zhang Yuan said, "Captain, we have cleared a total of three apartment complexes. But there are still two villa areas, five housing blocks, and fifteen apartment complexes left."

Sitting in the back seat, Jin Xuyan checked the map and said, "We are not in a rush, so there is no harm in clearing the area while training our new members."

Zhang Yuan nodded and added, "Captain Xun sent someone to inform us that the warehouses were ready this morning."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi swallowed the strawberry in her mouth and said, "He is really efficient. It's only been a day, and he has already cleaned up ten houses."

When Jin Xuyan heard this, he turned to look at his girlfriend and said, "Seems like Ah Zhi thinks Xun Che is pretty impressive."

Jiao Lizhi laughed when she noticed his jealousy. She sniffed dramatically on her boyfriend's neck before teasing, "Where is this sourness coming from, huh?"

Then, she reached out and pinched her boyfriend's cheek lightly before adding, "Oh, it's coming from my boyfriend~"

Jin Xuyan's heart fluttered the moment he heard her words, and his jealousy disappeared like smoke. He held her hand and said, "Be good. Old Zhang is right here."

Sitting in the driver's seat, Zhang Yuan acted as if he saw nothing, heard nothing, and knew nothing. He didn't even bother to glance at them through the rearview mirror.

Thanks to their captain spreading dog food every time he had the chance, no one was willing to ride in the same car as him and his girlfriend. In the end, it was this old single dog who got stuck driving.

As the vice captain, he couldn't shove the task onto someone else and torture the young ones. So, he could only watch them flirt with a deadpan face. After being force-fed dog food several times, he had gotten used to it and no longer felt annoyed or envious.

So even when the pair of lovebirds were joking and hugging each other in the back seat, his mind and heart were as calm as the empty sea.

Five minutes later, Jin Xuyan finally remembered that they were discussing supplies. He pulled his girlfriend into his embrace to stop her fooling around.

He cleared his throat before saying, "Old Zhang, let Xun Che know we will be filling the warehouses tomorrow morning."

"Also, tell him we are heading out to find more supplies, so we won't be back for a few days. He can start distributing the apartments to the survivors. When we return, we will continue the mission."

"Understood," Zhang Yuan replied calmly.

After the Phantom Team returned to their residence, Jiao Lizhi filled the water tanks so they could shower, then headed to her bedroom to take a bath.

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw her boyfriend sitting on the carpet, counting and sorting crystal cores. She walked over and sat on the bed.

She watched him quietly for a while before asking, "Brother Yan, when will we give the solar panels to Xun Che?"

"We can give them to him after we come back from outside," Jin Xuyan replied without stopping his count.

After a moment, he glanced at his girlfriend and asked, "Ah Zhi, do you like this place?"

Jiao Lizhi thought for a moment before saying, "This place isn't bad, but it's not safe enough. If we want to survive the second rain, there is still a lot we need to prepare."

Jin Xuyan nodded and said casually, "If Ah Zhi likes it here, it's not impossible for us to work together with Xun Che to build this base. With our help, there shouldn't be any problems when the second rain arrives."
