Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 199: An Old Acquaintance

Before her daughter could object, Mother Shen quickly handed her grandson to Jiao Lizhi while saying, "Of course."

With the baby placed in her arms, Jiao Lizhi's body tensed, and she didn't dare to move. The moment the baby was hugged by her, he stopped crying suddenly.

They looked at each other for a moment before the baby suddenly snuggled close to her chest and let out a series of blabbering.

Seeing this, Mother Shen's smile became wider as she said, "It seems that he likes you very much."

Jiao Lizhi didn't know if that was the truth or if she only said that to make her happy. She looked at the little human and smiled.

Raising her gaze, she said, "Sister, you should make some milk for your son. I can give you hot water."

Hearing this, Shen Xueli nodded and said, "Sister, sorry to bother you."

"It's not a bother at all," Jiao Lizhi replied casually.

While holding the baby with one arm, she filled the thermos flask with hot water. When the milk was ready, Shen Xueli taught her how to feed the baby.

Unbeknownst to them, a sliver of energy seeped out from Jiao Lizhi's pores and entered the baby's body as she held him, which made him no longer feel the pain in his small body.

After feeding the baby some milk, Jiao Lizhi filled up Shen Xueli and her parents' water bottles before she went to the kitchen to help out.

Meanwhile, Jin Xuyan, Zhang Yuan, and Qin Luzi were marking the map and making plans for tomorrow on the second floor. As for the rest of the members, they were guarding the entrance and managing the survivors.

At the same time, a group of soldiers were fighting against zombies in the area a kilometer away from them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Crash! Crack!

The sound of gunshots and vehicles crashing against the zombies echoed in the area.

"Captain, there are more zombies coming toward us!"

Hearing the report, a man in his twenties looked at the map and said, "Follow the road. After we cross the bridge, we will be able to shake off the zombies."

The soldier driving the military vehicle nodded and stepped on the pedal, increasing the speed.

As they drove, they had to avoid the abandoned cars and holes in the ground. It took them almost thirty minutes to finally shake off the zombies. After surviving the ordeal, the soldiers finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Check your ammo and take a rest," the captain said while checking the surroundings.

The sky darkened, and the red moon rose in the sky. The zombies would become stronger, and it wasn't a wise decision to continue travelling.

He looked around and saw light coming from one of the buildings. Pointing at the family restaurant, he said, "Go to that building."

"Yes, Captain."

With their captain taking the lead, the rest of the fleet followed closely. Before they reached the building, Qin Luzi had already informed Jin Xuyan about their arrival.

"Captain, a group of people is coming. There are a total of 32 people—7 of them are ability-users, the rest are ordinary people. They will arrive in three minutes."

Hearing this, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Prepare more food. They will stay with us tonight."

"Captain, we don't know who they are. Isn't it better to let them go somewhere else?" Shen Jinzhe asked.

"They are not bad guys. Tomorrow, they might join us to get the supplies," Jin Xuyan replied casually.

Just after he finished his words, they heard the sound of car engines from outside. Due to the headlights facing the building, the survivors inside the restaurant could only block the light with their palms and squint their eyes.

From the outside, they could see the group of people inside.

"Captain, there are a lot of people inside. I never expected to see so many survivors hiding here," one of the soldiers said.

"Let's go inside."

After they came out of the military vehicles, they noticed that the door had been opened and a man was standing at the entrance, smiling at them.

Looking at the familiar face, Jin Xuyan said, "Captain Xun, long time no see."

Xun Che was taken aback when he saw him. He walked over and asked, "Jin Xuyan?"

Noticing his surprise, Jin Xuyan chuckled and said, "After not seeing each other for a few years, you already forgot about me?"

"Didn't you perish during the battle against a zombie horde?" Xun Che asked.

Raising his eyebrows, Jin Xuyan asked, "Where did you hear that nonsense? My team and I are doing very well."

Before he could ask more questions, he added, "Come inside and talk. It's dangerous to stay outside at this time."

Hearing this, Xun Che came back to his senses and followed him into the building. Since their captain knew the other group, the soldiers lowered their guard and followed in.

Once they were inside, they realized that the number of survivors was not small. Seeing this, they thought the situation of the Phantom Team shouldn't be as bad as the news they had heard.

But when they saw that the total number of Phantom Team members was only 17 people, including several new faces, they realized they were wrong.

Jin Xuyan brought them to the second floor before he introduced his team members to his friend. After the short introduction, he asked, "Captain Xun, are you here to search for supplies?"

Xun Che nodded and said, "My main mission is to find solar panels and more satellite phones. It would be better if we can find more supplies."

"It's just that the number of zombies around the commercial district area was too high. So, we were unable to get close to the mission location before we had to retreat."

"Captain Xun, my team also plans to go to the commercial district to find satellite phones. How about you join us, and we can go together tomorrow?" Jin Xuyan asked.
