Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space Chapter 269: Horrifying Punishment ( 1 )

Jin Xuyan went silent for a long ti before he said, "Ah Zhi, no matter how important my friends are to , you are the most important. I don't want you to put yourself in danger for them."

"Ah Zhi, I can live without them, but without you, I will die. So please don't do this to anymore. My heart can't take it," he added softly.

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi was stunned and didn't know what to say. In the end, she only hugged him tighter and said nothing.

When he didn't get her answer, Jin Xuyan didn't care. For him, he would do anything to ensure that she stayed alive, safe, and sound. Even if he had to use his life in exchange for hers, he would do it without hesitation. So, whether she agreed or not was not a problem.

As they hugged, Jiao Lizhi felt sleepy. Being embraced by his warm body, she felt safe and slowly drifted into a deep slumber.

Five minutes later, Jin Xuyan felt the body in his arms soften, and his girlfriend was no longer hugging him back. Instead, she leaned on him and snuggled like a small kitten.

Feeling her warm breath on his neck, he lifted his head only to see her fast asleep in his embrace. Seeing her peaceful expression, he smiled and leaned down to give her a light kiss.

After gently carrying her to the bed and covering her with a thin blanket, he went to take a shower.

While his girlfriend was sleeping, he walked around the space. Besides the pond and farmland near the house, the rest of the area was vast grassland.

He checked the fruit trees planted not far from the house and saw that the fruits were mature and ready for harvest. Unsure if they would rot if not picked, he decided to help his girlfriend harvest them.

Outside the space, the Phantom team mbers were unaware of Jiao Lizhi's condition. They wanted to ask, but they were also afraid of disturbing their Captain. What if he was treating her?

Because of this concern, they could only wait in the living room. Everyone sat solemnly, each lost in their own thoughts.

After a long silence, Zhou Huajian finally asked, "Qianfeng, what exactly happened to you?"

Hearing this question, Chen Qianfeng shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure either. I only rember that my energy went out of control when I called for you. After that, I don't rember anything."

"Brother Qianfeng, we thought you underwent a breakthrough process. Is that not true?" Xiao Qi asked with doubts.

At that mont, Jiang Lixin said, "Qianfeng indeed underwent a breakthrough. He is a level-one ability-user now."

Chen Qianfeng thought for a mont and replied, "I don't know what's going on either. I only know that after I lost consciousness, I felt cold and in pain for a long ti before a surge of unknown energy entered my body and controlled the energy that had gone out of control."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yun said, "That must have been Sister-in-law's energy. When we arrived in the backyard, we saw her feeding you crystal cores and holding your wrist."

Hearing this, Chen Qianfeng lowered his head and said with guilt, "It's because she was saving that my Sister-in-law was injured."

Sitting beside him, Qin Luzi patted his shoulder and said, "Since you owe your life to our Sister-in-law, then you have to repay her kindness."

Chen Qianfeng nodded and said, "Brother Luzi, I understand. I will definitely protect her."

The mont he finished his words, Li Qixuan let out a chuckle and said, "Brother, you shouldn't say those words in front of the Captain, or you will get into trouble."

Everyone nodded in agreent the mont they heard his comnt.

They waited another fifteen minutes, but there was still no sign of Jin Xuyan or Jiao Lizhi coming out of their bedroom.

Checking his watch, Zhang Yuan said, "Alright, it's no use waiting here. The Captain will take care of his girlfriend. Since everyone's here, let's introduce ourselves to the new mbers. Today, we recruited another person for our research team, Mo Junjie."

Mo Junjie stood up and said, "Hello, everyone."

When they saw his handso face, Yin Yusheng clicked his tongue and said, "Vice-Captain, did our team start recruiting based on looks? Both new mbers are above average in that departnt."

Hearing this, Li Qixuan smiled at him and replied, "Brother, you are overpraising."

Yin Yusheng rolled his eyes in his mind as he thought, 'Another shaless mber.'

Gao Bohai glanced at him and said casually, "Yusheng, if you are worried you will look ugly standing beside them, just stand next to . I'm not as good-looking as you. With around, you can boost your face value."

Yin Yusheng's face darkened at his words and said, "Brother Bohai, thank you for your offer but I don't need it."

He looked at the new mbers and added, "We don't know their abilities yet, so isn't it normal to be skeptical?"

"Well, I don't have any ability, and I also have a strange illness. But I believe my value lies in my brain, not my face. I can help the team do research or treat patients," Mo Junjie replied with a smile.

Qin Luzi glanced at him with a knowing look. He could lie to everyone else, but not to him. The flickering blue dots on his map showed that both new mbers were ability-users and possibly strong ones.

After eting five people with blue dots, he guessed that a blue dot might represent sothing regarding their ability.

His Captain's black fla was clearly a mutated fire-type ability. His Sister-in-law's water could change into ice, and could be included as a mutated water-type.

Pei Yijun's lightning was a different color from Li Sikai's. He had compared the two and noticed that while Chen Zhiyi, Shen Jinzhe, Li Sikai, and Yin Yusheng's green dots showed signs of changing color, it wasn't very visible.
