Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 308: Exchange ( 2 )
Chapter 308: Exchange ( 2 )
Noticing the man and his family’s hesitation, Gao Bohai thought for a moment before he said, "Comrade, how about you come with us and meet our captain first? He might have a solution for your family’s situation."
When he heard this, the middle-aged man looked at his wife and saw her shaking her head. While he knew that it was risky to follow these people, they had no other option now. If they stayed here, they would die. If they left, at least they had a chance to survive.
He held his wife’s hand and said, "Wife, wait for me here. I will come back."
As if he was going on a suicide mission, the man turned to the Phantom team and said, "Comrade, I will go with you."
Seeing his expression, the members exchanged glances and climbed out of the underground cellar, followed by the man.
After they came out, the middle-aged man’s wife closed the door and locked it. Even though the lock had been broken by the Phantom team member, she could use a piece of iron to lock the door.
When the middle-aged man stood outside, he raised his head and saw the red moon. Unlike before, there were no zombie roars. He stood there, enveloped in eerie silence. Besides their breaths, there were no other sounds in the area.
"Let’s go," Qin Luzi said.
With his words, they walked back to the entrance of the village. The middle-aged man looked around and let out a sigh when he saw that his village had turned into a desolate, dead place. The previous joyous and lively atmosphere was no longer seen.
They walked for fifteen minutes before arriving at a two-story house near the entrance. When the middle-aged man saw this house, pain flashed in his eyes.
This house had belonged to his second brother before the family turned into monsters. Now, seeing a group of strangers living in the house made him feel unhappy but helpless.
As they entered the house, Jin Xuyan raised his eyebrows when he saw the middle-aged man but said nothing. He trusted his team members’ judgment.
After they took their seats, Qin Luzi said, "Captain, we found this man and his family inside an underground cellar of one of the houses. We brought him over to see if you have any solution to help his family."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi’s interest was piqued, and she asked, "Brother Luzi, what is his family’s situation?"
Before answering her question, Qin Luzi glanced at the man and replied, "This man is an ability-user, but he might not have realized it himself."
As he heard these words, the middle-aged man was surprised. He indeed didn’t feel anything different about himself. As for this so-called ability-user, he had heard about the term when a previous group came and plundered their village.
After a moment of pause, Qin Luzi continued, "As for his family, there is an old woman, a middle-aged woman, and three more people, but we didn’t see them. Judging from the situation, he might be the only man left in the family."
"Their family has some supplies in the underground cellar. Judging from the number of people and the amount of supplies, it won’t be a problem for them to survive for another month."
"Since that’s the case, what does he need from us?" Jiao Lizhi asked curiously.
This time, it was Xiao Qi who explained, "Sister-in-law, we told them about Captain Xun’s base, and they seemed interested in moving there. But with those grains, it might be hard for them to move everything."
The moment she heard this, Jiao Lizhi understood the middle-aged man’s predicament. She glanced at her fiancé and asked, "Brother Yan, what do you think about this matter?"
Jin Xuyan met her gaze and noticed that she already had an idea in mind. So, he replied, "Ah Zhi, you can handle this matter."
Since the captain already let her make the decision, Jiao Lizhi no longer hesitated and said, "Comrade, there is indeed a way to solve your problem."
The middle-aged man’s eyes flickered as he asked, "Comrade, what way?"
"At this moment, your problem is how to transport your supplies. If you bring so many, it might not be a good thing as it could even invite trouble to your family," Jiao Lizhi said.
The man nodded and said, "That’s indeed my concern."
"Then, how about you exchange your grains for dry food and crystal cores? With crystal cores, you can exchange them for food when you arrive at the base. Dry food makes it easier for you to transport them," Jiao Lizhi suggested.
The man hesitated for a long time before he asked, "What type of dry food? Also, how much food and how many crystals can we exchange?"
Rubbing her chin, Jiao Lizhi said, "We need to check your grains first before we can decide."
Hearing this, the man went silent for a moment before he nodded and said, "You can come with me to check the grains first."
"Okay," Jiao Lizhi said as she stood up.
Seeing his fiancée was going, Jin Xuyan also stood up and went with her. While the members were curious, they didn’t follow and instead prepared dinner. Cooking for so many people was not easy, so they had to do it together.
They walked for a while before returning to the underground cellar. When the man knocked on the door, he said, "Wife, it’s me."
Hearing that her husband had returned, the middle-aged woman quickly opened the door and said, "Husband, you are back."
Just after she finished her words, she finally saw the group following her husband. She stared at them warily before asking, "Husband, who are they?"
"These are the people who came to exchange food with us," the man answered.
After she heard this, she nodded and went to find her children and mother-in-law. Not long after, they climbed out of the underground cellar. Due to hiding inside without being exposed to sunlight for almost a month, their complexions were sickly pale.
