Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 297: Concern

After some cuddling, Jiao Lizhi brought her fiancé into her space to take a shower and change clothes. The two of them also went to check on Fu Guai’s situation.

Since they couldn’t find him in the house, she used her consciousness to search for him. After a while, she finally saw him lying on the grassland.

This time, the small mutated plant didn’t attack him. Instead, it swayed beside his right ear as if telling him a story. As for Fu Guai, he had his eyes closed, but a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, she would have thought he was a corpse.

After watching him for a while, she said, "Brother Yan, your friend seems different from before. I can’t see any signs of the zombie mutation on his body anymore. But he doesn’t seem like a normal human either. He doesn’t breathe as often as we do." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Hearing this, Jin Xuyan thought for a moment before saying, "It might be due to changes in his DNA and body structure. Unless we run some tests, we won’t know exactly what happened."

Although Jiao Lizhi was curious about Fu Guai’s situation, she knew they couldn’t bring him out of the space just yet. Unless they were sure he was harmless, they wouldn’t dare risk it.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Brother Yan, do you think your friend will die without eating? From what I know, zombies lose their power if they don’t consume human flesh or crystal cores for a long time."

As someone who had once lived as a zombie, Jin Xuyan knew how painful it was to resist the urge to devour human flesh and organs.

Even when he had lost his humanity, he still refused to prey on humans, loathing the monster he had become—the kind that had taken his beloved away. He survived by killing zombies and consuming their crystal cores. In the end, he died after he ran out of energy.

Thinking of this, he said, "He should be able to absorb energy from crystal cores."

When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi didn’t doubt him. In her eyes, her fiancé was omnipotent and seemed to know everything. Nodding, she said, "Brother Yan, we have collected lots of crystal cores. How about giving him some to try?"

Jin Xuyan didn’t object and replied, "I will listen to you."

Once they agreed, Jiao Lizhi used her consciousness to move a box of level-one transparent crystal cores out of the restricted area and placed it beside Fu Guai.

The moment the box appeared, the mutated plant grew livelier, trying to absorb the energy. But before it could get much, Fu Guai suddenly opened his eyes.

His pupils had turned a caramel brown, no longer resembling a zombie’s, though a silver tint lingered on the iris. Sitting up, he opened the box and grabbed a handful of crystal cores.

Without hesitation, he shoved them into his mouth and crunched down. The sound of grinding crystals echoed through the field as Jiao Lizhi watched, wide-eyed.

Jin Xuyan couldn’t see what was happening and asked, "Ah Zhi, what’s wrong?"

It took Jiao Lizhi a moment to respond. "Brother Yan, your friend... just ate the crystals like they were candy. Will he get a stomachache from that? I only rinsed them with some water. I don’t know if there are still bacteria or parasites."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xuyan burst out laughing.

Seeing him laugh, Jiao Lizhi glared at him and asked, "What’s so funny?"

Realizing his fiancée was annoyed, he quickly composed himself and replied, "Ahem! Ah Zhi, he’s half-zombie. Even the zombie virus can’t kill him. Do you really think bacteria or parasites can?"

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi replied, "Even so, he doesn’t seem like a half-zombie anymore. He looks so human now."

Curious, he asked, "Can you bring me to see him?"

"Sure."

Holding his hand, Jiao Lizhi focused her mind. In the next moment, the two of them disappeared from the house and reappeared not far from Fu Guai.

Standing on the grassland, Jin Xuyan was stunned by what he saw. He finally understood why his fiancée had been worried. Fu Guai really didn’t seem concerned about overdosing on energy. Instead, he looked ready to explode from how much he had eaten.

Jiao Lizhi was concerned that he might die from too much energy. So, after seeing Fu Guai grab yet another handful of crystals, she quickly stored the box back into the restricted area.

With the crystals suddenly gone, Fu Guai froze mid-way through eating. He looked around but was unable to find the box.

After a moment, he put the remaining crystals into his pocket and lay down again. This time, resting one hand protectively over his pocket as if worried someone might steal his crystals.

Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi said, "Brother Yan, I think your friend acts like a little child."

Jin Xuyan thought the same but said nothing. He only hoped that one day, Fu Guai would recover and be able to tell them what had happened to him all these years.

After making sure Fu Guai was fine in the space, the couple left and reappeared in their bedroom. Since they had to leave early the next morning, they went to bed and fell asleep the moment their heads touched the pillows.

Early the next morning, the Phantom team woke up before dawn. While the members prepared breakfast, Jin Xuyan drove the car and took Jiao Lizhi to the warehouse area.

They had informed Xun Che yesterday, and he had already arranged the warehouses. When they arrived, a soldier greeted them and said, "Captain Jin, Comrade Jiao, the warehouses have been prepared. This way, please."

The two of them nodded and followed the soldier. Unlike the area where supplies were stored, the area prepared for storing medicine was guarded by more soldiers, and the overall security was much tighter.

Seeing this, they weren’t surprised. After all, medicine was hard to come by.

To obtain more, one had to raid hospitals, and the number of zombies in hospitals was several times higher than in other places. This was also the reason why most mercenary groups didn’t dare to take on such missions.
