Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 307: Exchange ( 1 )

Hearing his mother’s words, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Mother, we shouldn’t put our hope in the government anymore. It has been almost a month, yet no one ever came to save us."

"Those people who came before only came to plunder our house. If not for us hiding in this cellar, we might have been killed a long time ago."

The old woman’s eyes dimmed at her eldest son’s words and said, "Dalang, our food is only enough for another month. Mother is old now. You should bring your family and leave this place. Find a safe place and continue living."

When he heard his mother’s words, the man’s eyes reddened. He shook his head and said, "Mother, what nonsense are you saying? My brothers and father are no longer around. You only have me left now. If I leave you behind, what would you do?"

After he said this, a woman walked over to hold the old woman’s hand and said, "Mother, we are family. We won’t abandon you. Even if we have to leave our home, we will go together."

"Grandma, we don’t want to be separated from you," the children also chimed in.

Seeing that her family was filial to her was enough for the old woman. She patted her daughter-in-law’s hand and said, "Dalang’s wife, I have lived long enough and have no regrets. I’m old and can’t run. I will only become your burden if I go with you. So, listen to me and leave tomorrow."

Just after she said this, they heard a sound coming from outside.

"Eh? Brother Bohai, did you hear someone talking just now?"

The moment they heard this, the old woman and her family no longer dared to speak.

Outside, the Phantom team members were checking the perimeter to make sure that there were no zombies. While they were patrolling, they heard faint voices coming from this direction and came to check the situation.

Before Gao Bohai could respond, Qin Luzi walked over and said, "There are a total of five people in this area. Since they are not inside the house, then they might be hiding inside the underground cellar."

"Brother Luzi, how did you know?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.

"Houses in the village mostly have underground cellars to store grains and other dried food. My grandparents’ house also has one, so I know about it," Qin Luzi replied casually.

With him pointing out the direction, Gao Bohai found the entrance to the underground cellar easily. As he pulled the door open, the red moonlight illuminated the cellar.

The family hiding inside had already moved to the corner, trying to avoid them by hiding behind the sacks. But with Qin Luzi around, even an ability-user with an invincible skill couldn’t hide away from him, let alone ordinary people.

He pointed at the corner and said, "They are behind the sacks."

As his words fell, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and came out from his hiding. He stood in front of his family and said, "Comrade, if you come to take the supplies, you can take them. But please, spare my family’s lives."

The moment Xiao Qi and Gao Bohai saw the man, they noticed that while he was unkempt, he didn’t look as thin as the survivors they had met previously.

After a moment of silence, Gao Bohai said, "Comrade, we didn’t come to take away your supplies. We already cleared the zombies outside and were checking if there were some wandering zombies left."

When the man heard this, he was taken aback and asked, "You didn’t come to get the supplies?"

Xiao Qi shook his head and replied, "Comrade, we are not bandits. We can find supplies in the city, so why should we take yours? What’s more, we have enough supplies and don’t lack this small amount."

After he said this, the man’s eyes lit up and he asked, "Comrade, are you the soldiers sent by the government to save us?"

This time, it was Qin Luzi who replied, "We are a mercenary team, and we didn’t take any mission to save anyone."

After he said this, he paused for a moment and added, "Also, there is no longer a government. You should stop your wishful thinking as no one will come to save you. If you want to survive, you have to go out and fight for your own survival."

The next moment, an old woman came out from behind the sacks and asked, "Young man, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing the elderly woman, Xiao Qi said, "Granny, the laws have crumbled, and the government is no longer operating as before. Now, the strong rule and the weak are bullied."

Hearing this, the old woman held onto her son’s arm and asked, "Dalang, what should we do now?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Noticing her tears, Gao Bohai thought about his own grandmother and said, "Granny, your family still has supplies. If you leave this place and go to Lin’an City, you might be able to join the survivor base there."

"The name of the base leader is Xun Che, and you can make a living there. From the border of Lin’an City, you need to drive around six to seven hours in the direction of Lin’an University. You must avoid the city center and take the suburban road."

The middle-aged man finally saw hope and asked, "Comrade, can you tell me more about this base?"

"Comrade, in this base, even ordinary people can find work and earn points. Using the points, you can exchange them for food, medicine, and even rent a house. If you have a specific skill, you can work for the base and receive a higher monthly salary," Xiao Qi explained.

"Comrade, how about the situation there? Is that place safe?" the old woman asked.

This time, Xiao Qi nodded and replied, "Granny, from all the places I have visited before, the base led by Captain Xun has the best security. When we left, they were building a wall and sending people to clear the zombies around the base. You can live there with ease."

The man and his family were tempted by their words, but when they saw the grains and food in the cellar, they hesitated.
