Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 23: I Saw What You Did
Chapter 23 - I Saw What You Did
Seeing the incoming attack on the car window's reflection, Jiao Lizhi swiftly dodged to the side.
Crittt!
The zombie's nails scraped against the window, producing an ear-piercing screech. Jiao Lizhi frowned at the sound and glanced at the glass. When she saw that it was completely intact, her eyes lit up.
"Roar!!"
The zombie let out a roar as it lunged at her again. Narrowing her eyes, Jiao Lizhi sidestepped and swung her boning knife–aiming at the zombie's neck.
Crack!
The next moment, the zombie's head rolled to the ground, its black blood splattering across the pavement as its lifeless body collapsed with a dull thud.
Before she could catch her breath, three more zombies pounced at her simultaneously.
As the rancid stench of rotten flesh filled her nose, Jiao Lizhi frowned. Twisting her body, she aimed her boning knife at the zombie's neck.
Crack!
This time, the boning knife got stuck in the zombie's neck as it only managed to cut it half way.
"Roar!!"
The zombie let out another roar as she stood in a close distance.
With no time to dodge the other zombies' attacks, she gritted her teeth and used the zombie in front of her as a shield.
Stab! Crash!
Black blood spurted from the zombie's chest and shoulder as the other zombies bit and stabbed into it with its sharp claws.
Duagh!
Gripping the knife handle with both hands, Jiao Lizhi raised her leg and kicked the zombie away. With the force of the kick she was able to take the boning knife out from the zombie's neck.
The zombies hit the ground with a loud thud a meter away, struggling to get back up.
Raising her gaze, Jiao Lizhi noticed Pei Yijun and his team watching her after finishing off the surrounding zombies. The moment her eyes met Pei Yijun's, she narrowed hers slightly and smiled.
Her smile lit up her already beautiful face, but despite the warmth on her lips, her eyes turned colder. She had no intention of letting them discover her abilities—especially her space ability.
But if they wanted to test her, she would gladly fulfill their wish.
With that thought, she stopped holding back.
Rushing forward, she attacked as soon as the zombie managed to stand up. With a downward swing of her boning knife, she split the nearest zombie's skull in half. In the next second, she slashed upward diagonally, taking another head.
As black blood and rotting brain matter splattered onto the ground, she clenched her left fist and punched the final zombie right on the face.
Duagh! Crack!
The sickening crunch of breaking bones echoed in the air, stunning Pei Yijun and his team.

Li Yang stared in disbelief as the petite girl smashed a zombie's head with her bare fist as if it were a watermelon. Under their stunned gazes, Jiao Lizhi pulled her fist back and stood there, smiling.
With black blood and rotten flesh clinging to her left hand and boning knife, she walked toward them.
Stopping in front of Pei Yijun, she tilted her head slightly and asked sweetly, "Senior, are you satisfied with what you see?"
Pei Yijun's eyes flickered briefly at her words before returning to normal. He frowned at the state of her clothes but said nothing.
Standing beside her, Mo Binxue wrinkled her nose and muttered under her breath, "Why is this girl so brutal? She doesn't even care about all that black blood and filth on her. Is she really a girl?"
Before anyone could respond, Chu Zhimiao scoffed and said, "At least she can kill four zombies on her own. Unlike someone, who can only scream and vomit every time she meets a zombie but loves to criticize others and complain like a princess."
Mo Binxue's face darkened at her words. Glaring at her, she asked angrily, "Miaomiao, what do you mean by that? She is just a stranger. Why are you taking her side?"
Chu Zhimiao met her glare head-on and asked her back, "Even if I am, what does that have to do with you?"
Then, as if recalling something, she smirked and said, "Mo Binxue, don't think no one saw what you did to your roommate on the day the chaos started."
Leaning closer, her voice dropped to a near whisper as she added, "To save yourself, you used her as a shield. You made her die a gruesome death of being eaten alive by the zombies. And yet, here you are, acting all self-righteous. I wonder if you can have a good sleep after what you did."
Mo Binxue's face turned deathly pale after she heard her words. Her lips trembled as she shook her head, "No, it's not me—I didn't mean to—"
Chu Zhimiao scoffed and said, "You don't have to explain anything to me. I trust my own judgment."
Standing next to them, the man who had previously protected Mo Binxue looked at her pale face with a deep frown, and fell into deep thought.
As a person with ability-power, even if he couldn't hear clearly what Chu Zhimiao said, he could hear part of it and get a gist of their conversation.
If what she said was true, then he should stay away from this woman. Otherwise, maybe one day he will be used as a shield by her and die without knowing the reason.
Thinking of this, he took a few steps back and distanced himself from Mo Binxue.
Not knowing that her words saved someone's life, Chu Zhimiao turned to Jiao Lizhi and said with a smile, "Classmate, my name is Chu Zhimiao. My friends and family call me Miaomiao."
Jiao Lizhi nodded and replied, "Hello, my name is Jiao Lizhi."
Chu Zhimiao glanced at the black blood and rotten flesh covering Jiao Lizhi's hand and knife. She pointed at that and said, "I'm a water-type ability user. I can give you some water to clean up."
Jiao Lizhi raised an eyebrow and replied, "No need, but thanks."
Without another word, she turned and walked back to her car.
