Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 241: Visiting The Market Area ( 1 )

Looking out the window, Jiao Lizhi saw that the team members had already exited the vehicles. She unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of the car.

Everyone carried a backpack filled with emergency rations, medicine, water, and crystal cores. Before they departed, Jiao Lizhi collected the armored vehicles into her space.

Opening the map, Jin Xuyan pointed at the commercial district and said, "Today, we are going to the market area. Besides searching for supplies, our priority is finding seeds."

When they heard this, everyone understood that their captain wanted to seize the initiative and secure the seeds for future development.

"From the market area, we will head to the office district. Our target is the Global Company's building," he added.

Everyone nodded and replied in unison, "Understood."

After discussing the plan, they packed up and left. Due to the number of zombies and abandoned cars blocking the road, it took them longer to reach the market area, as they had to clear the road and move the vehicles.

Two hours later, they finally arrived at the market area. Qin Luzi checked the map in his mind for a moment before saying, "There are two groups of people in the market."

"Each group has around five to fifteen people, and there are a total of eight ability-users. They are currently clearing the zombies in the north and east areas."

Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and said, "We will head to the south area first."

"Understood."

Since there were other groups nearby, they didn't split up and moved together. As soon as they entered through the south entrance, they saw the road crowded with zombies.

"Roar!"

The moment the zombies caught their scent, they turned and let out roars before rushing toward them. Seeing this, everyone pulled out their guns and began shooting.

To avoid drawing too much attention from the other groups, they refrained from using their abilities—except for Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi.

While the team members fired at the zombies, Jiao Lizhi created several ice needles. With a wave of her hand, the needles pierced through the zombies' skulls, killing them instantly.

Walking beside her, Jin Xuyan flicked a wisp of black flame, burning the zombie corpses into piles of ash and leaving only some crystal cores behind.

As usual, Xiao Qi was tasked with collecting the crystal cores. He walked behind his captain, accompanied by Li Sikai for protection in case of emergencies.

Ten minutes later, everyone began to notice something strange about the zombies. Perhaps due to mutation, it now took multiple shots to kill them. Compared to before, the zombies' speed and agility had clearly improved.

Realizing this, everyone's expressions turned grim. With how quickly the zombies were evolving, humanity's chances of survival would be slim if they didn't adapt as soon as possible.

Thirty minutes later, Qin Luzi checked the mental map and said, "Captain, the area within a 200-meter radius is clear."

Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Split into three groups. Feng Yun, Xiao Qi—you two join different groups and collect everything. We will inspect the seeds later."

"Understood!"

Jiao Lizhi walked toward the store on her left, followed by Jin Xuyan. When she entered, she saw the shelves filled with various types of candies.

From traditional treats such as sesame candies, maltose candies, and White Rabbit candies, to modern favorites among youngsters like gummies, chocolate, and bubblegum—there was everything. There were also a variety of candied fruits, pickles, jams, and dried fruits.

When she saw the treats, her eyes lit up. With a wave of her hand, she collected everything into her space, including the shelves.

Seeing this, Jin Xuyan smiled and said, "Ah Zhi, it seems you still love candy."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi replied casually, "When life is too bitter, eating something sweet can brighten my day."

Jin Xuyan nodded but said nothing. For him, no matter how bitter life was, as long as she was with him, he could endure anything.

After collecting the candies, they moved on to the next store and continued gathering supplies. Most stores in the area sold similar items. Only when they reached the last store did they finally find what they had been looking for.

This store was two to three times larger than the others, and the seeds inside were all vacuum-packed. Picking up a bag, Jiao Lizhi said, "Brother Yan, the seeds are in good condition. We are lucky!"

Jin Xuyan checked the seeds and nodded. "There are not only flowers and fruit seeds but also vegetables and grains."

Feeling happy, Jiao Lizhi collected the seeds and opened the door behind the counter. They assumed the room was a rest area for the owner, but to their surprise, it was a warehouse. The warehouse was several times larger than the storefront, filled with boxes stacked almost to the ceiling.

Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi said, "Brother Yan, with just these seeds alone, our trip to the market area is worth it."

"Mhmm." Jin Xuyan nodded in agreement.

Before the second rain, they had to gather as many seeds as possible. After the second rain, everything—including seeds—would be infected by the zombie virus. Even vacuum-packed seeds wouldn't all survive.

That's why finding these seeds was a lucky strike. With her space, she could cultivate more seeds, ensuring they wouldn't have to worry about having none for future planting.

While they busied themselves collecting supplies in the south area, the people in the north and east weren't having such an easy time.

"Roar!"

As a zombie roared, it lunged at a nearby man. Before its sharp teeth could reach his neck, the man swung an iron rod.

Duagh!

The force of the swing cracked the zombie's skull instantly. As the zombie's corpse fell to the ground with a thud, one of his teammates shouted, "Boss, there are too many! We need to retreat!"

Boss Lin glanced around and said, "Head to the east area! We will meet up with the other groups."

"Got it!"

As they retreated, the groups from the eastern area were also fleeing toward the south.
