Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Hearing Xiao Han's question, Wei Ying said, "Mhmm. We will wait until they return to the base before we make a plan to clear out the zombie horde. For now, I need you to inform Gu Shaoze and his team to help keep an eye on the ability-users."

"Understood."

After the brief phone call, Wei Ying smelled a fragrant aroma coming from the kitchen. When he walked to the dining room, he saw his team members already preparing dinner.

Seeing him come in, one of them said, "Captain, we cooked steamed rice and some side dishes. It's been a long time since we had a hot meal. Let's eat first."

As he sat down, Wei Ying looked at the steaming, plump rice, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of egg drop soup on the table.

He let out a sigh and said, "When I compare the condition in our camp and Xun Che's base, even I have the urge to join him."

When they heard this, one of the members said, "Captain, you are not good at management. I think it's better for us to join Captain Xun's base and just focus on doing missions."

"With Captain Jin and Captain Xun handling the base operations, we won't have to worry about those old foxes making trouble and can finally relax," another member chimed in.

Hearing this, Wei Ying nodded and said, "Let's talk about this after we evacuate everyone first. Once they have moved in, we can find an excuse and just join them directly."

When the members heard the first half of his words, they thought their captain wanted to be a leader. But after hearing the latter part, they finally grinned and said, "As expected of our captain, very wise!"

"Alright, let's eat and rest early," Wei Ying said with a chuckle and started eating.

While they were enjoying their dinner, Xun Che was on a phone call in his office.

"Captain Jin, when will you and your team be back?" he asked.

"We have only been gone a day and you are already asking about my return. Is something urgent happening in the base?" Jin Xuyan replied.

"Wei Ying came to visit today and brought information about a zombie horde near the Lin'an border. Currently, the estimated number is around 2,000, but we don't know the exact situation yet," Xun Che explained.

"Has he contacted the people from Jiangning?" Jin Xuyan asked.

"He did, but they refused to cooperate. Right now, we plan to evacuate everyone to the base first and discuss a countermeasure when your team is back," Xun Che replied.

Jin Xuyan went silent for a moment, then said, "Once I'm done with things here, I will check out the situation at the border. Send more people to help with the evacuation."

Xun Che was taken aback by his decision and asked, "Captain Jin, are you sure your team can handle the zombie horde?"

"My team has faced more dangerous situations and come out alive. You just focus on managing the base. Once those people join the base, keep an eye on those old foxes. If they dare to cause trouble, just kick them out," Jin Xuyan said casually.

Xun Che was speechless for a moment before he said, "Those old foxes have military rank. Do you think it's that easy to kick them out?"

Jin Xuyan let out a sigh and asked, "Xun Che, do you really think the government is still the same as before?"

"Right now, the ones holding power are the ability-users. If you have decided to take over leadership of the base, then you need to change your mindset."

"You are no longer working under the government. Now, countless lives rest on your shoulders. You have a responsibility to protect them. If you can't make up your mind and take full control of the base, then I don't see the point in helping you."

After saying that, he glanced at his girlfriend and added, "Think about it yourself. My girlfriend is waiting for me to eat. Hanging up now."

Before Xun Che could say another word, the call ended with a busy tone.

After hanging up, Jin Xuyan put the satellite phone into his pocket and walked toward his girlfriend.

Noticing his frown, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Brother Yan, what's wrong?"

Sitting beside her, Jin Xuyan said, "Tomorrow, we need to go to the border. Xun Che informed me that a zombie horde was spotted nearby Wei Ying's camp."

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi frowned and said in a low voice, "There shouldn't be a zombie horde near the border at this time."

Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, "I found it strange too. That's why we will investigate it tomorrow. As for the supplies, we can return to deal with them after handling the horde."

"Alright, we will do as you say," Jiao Lizhi nodded.

While the two of them whispered, Li Qixuan sat not far away, watching them with interest. Sitting across from him, Qin Luzi's gaze never left him.

Noticing the sharp stare, Li Qixuan smiled and asked, "Brother Qin, did a flower grow on my face? Why are you staring at me for so long?"

Despite the teasing, Qin Luzi didn't change his expression and said, "Li Qixuan, now that you have joined the team, you had better behave. If you ever betray us, I will make sure you regret being born."

Hearing the warning, Li Qixuan laughed. After a moment, he calmed down and said, "Brother Qin, I don't know why you dislike me so much, but I really don't have any bad intentions toward the team."

He observed everyone for a moment before he added with a smile, "If you don't believe me, at least trust your captain's decision."

Although Qin Luzi didn't understand why his captain accepted this man, he trusted his judgment. Still, there was something about Li Qixuan that put him on edge, a dangerous aura he couldn't ignore, and the flickering blue dot on his mind.
