Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 231: Trapped ( 1 )

At this moment, Xun Che was eating a self-heating rice box as he sat on a roadblock, watching the soldiers clean up the houses. The rice box had been taken from the warehouse.

When he received the report that morning about Jin Xuyan's request for ten additional warehouses, he was taken aback. Based on his calculations, the supplies they had brought back could only fill at most seven or eight warehouses.

Since he had been in the middle of a meeting, he had simply given permission for the soldiers to clean up the empty houses. Now that he finally had some time, he went to inspect the warehouses himself.

As soon as he opened the first warehouse's door, he saw the room filled to the brim. Except for a thirty-centimeter-wide path to walk through, the entire space was packed with boxes and sacks.

He checked the warehouses one by one, and when he reached the last one, he was surprised to find it stocked with medicines, baby formula, self-heating food, and compressed biscuits.

From this, he realized that the Phantom team had not only given him the supplies they found in the shopping mall, but also those they had collected earlier.

After finishing his meal, Xun Che stood up and said, "Everyone, take a break and have dinner first. Go grab a self-heating rice box and some mineral water from the warehouse. We still have a lot of work to do, so eat well and restore your energy."

When the soldiers heard this, they paused their work and responded in unison, "Thank you, Captain!"

While everyone was full of hope for tomorrow, Pei Yijun and his team were currently in panic.

At this moment, they were being followed by a convoy of cars and trucks. Behind them, a large group of zombies was in pursuit. Due to the poor road conditions, they couldn't drive fast enough to shake the zombies off.

As the sun dipped toward the western horizon, Pei Yijun scanned the surroundings and steered the car toward a nearby three-story building. The moment he parked, he jumped out and drew the blade given to him by Wen Mo.

Not long after, Li Yang and the escort team also pulled over and quickly got out of their vehicles.

Without wasting any time, Pei Yijun swung his blade and broke the padlocks on the building's entrance. As soon as he pushed the door open, two zombies lunged at him.

"Roar!"

Having fought countless zombies since the beginning of the apocalypse, Pei Yijun was no longer the same person he had once been. Without flinching, he calmly swung his blade and decapitated both zombies.

Duagh!

Suddenly, another zombie comes from behind. Pei Yijun swiftly kicked it away. Before it could get up, Li Yang rushed over and chopped off its head with one clean strike.

The escort team stood frozen, stunned by how calmly and efficiently the two of them dispatched the zombies. Before they could react, the cars and trucks were parked outside and a group of survivors ran into the building in panic.

Seeing this, Pei Yijun ignored them and said, "Close the door and block it. Han Jie, Miaomiao, check the windows. Li Yang, you come with me to check for any zombies."

Snapping out from their thoughts, the escort team shut the door and locked it. They stacked tables and chairs to barricade the entrance.

Fearing that the zombies might smell them, they sealed all gaps and openings around doors and windows with duct tape they'd found.

Just as they finished clearing out the remaining zombies and sealing the building, they heard the sound of roaring grow louder.

"Close the curtains and stay silent," Pei Yijun whispered.

The escort team hurriedly drew the curtains and backed away into the corner, while the group of survivors who were following them hid themselves.

Soon, the ground began to tremble, accompanied by the thunderous growls of approaching zombies. Hiding in the darkness, no one dared to even breathe too loudly.

The escort team weren't trained soldiers. They were ability-users recruited by the Pei family. When they had first accepted this mission, they thought it would be easy, just escort the young master home.

As long as they flattered him and stayed on his good side, they wouldn't have to worry about food or water again after they go back. Now, trapped inside with a horde of zombies outside, they bitterly regretted that decision.

Unaware of their thoughts, Pei Yijun pulled a bottle of water from his backpack and took a sip. His gaze moved over the escort team before landing on Han Jie.

He had noticed something off about Han Jie since yesterday morning. He looked paler and more sluggish than usual.

At first, Pei Yijun assumed he was just tired and would recover after some rest. But when they entered the building, he caught Han Jie clutching his left waist.

Narrowing his eyes, Pei Yijun took a closer look.

The dark circles under Han Jie's eyes had deepened, and his eyes now looked disturbingly lifeless, glazed over like dead fish. If Pei Yijun hadn't been watching closely, he wouldn't have noticed the faint white membrane forming over them.

As he silently observed him, Han Jie was consumed with hatred and anger, unaware of the observation. He kept his head down with his hand resting on his injured waist.

'I should have killed her,' he thought angrily.

Before they had left the survivor camp, Han Jie had run into his senior from university—a woman he had always liked. Confident that being part of Pei Yijun's team would impress her, he thought she would agree to be with him if he showed interest.

But instead of appreciating his good intention, she had rejected him without hesitation and even attacked him with a dagger tainted with zombie's blood. frёeωebɳovel.com

He had feared he would turn into a zombie the moment his waist was injured by her dagger. Yet, after surviving the night without transforming, he felt a wave of relief.
