Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space Chapter 587: Bait Or Pawns ( 1 )

While Li Qixuan was stunned, Du Beiye smiled proudly.

Although she was stronger than her sister in terms of combat, her sister’s ntal fortitude was the best in the entire Tarakam Civilization. This was the main reason why Gaia had chosen her sister instead of her.

To use Gaia, not only must the host have a high level of empathy and rich emotions, but the host must also possess imnse ntal energy. Between them, her sister’s ntal energy was several folds higher than her own. So it wasn’t strange for her sister to be able to collect an item of that size so easily.

It took Jiao Lizhi almost an hour to collect all the underground tanks. When she was done, her back was drenched with sweat, and she had to take a break to recover her ntal energy.

While she was resting, both Du Beiye and Li Qixuan continued clearing the zombies in the area. Li Qixuan didn’t care about the crystal cores, so he only focused on killing more zombies and training his combat skills.

As for Du Beiye, she had Krayan to help her collect the crystal cores. Even if the amount of energy stored in the low-level crystal cores was not much, it was still useful as currency.

When the sun rose higher, Jiao Lizhi finally recovered and said, "Let’s go check another area."

"Okay."

The three of them killed zombies as they moved to the next area. Besides the liquid gas tanks and underground tanks, the gas factory also produced countless gas cylinders. Their next stop was the location where the gas cylinders were stored.

While the three of them were busy, the Phantom team mbers were taking a rest. With the tal walls blocking the zombies, the mbers didn’t have to take turns to rest.

At this mont, they were sitting on top of the tal wall, having a self-heating hotpot, two grilled sausages, and a plate of olet as a side dish. As the staple, each of them had five scallion pancakes.

The group of ability-users sitting in the corner could only swallow as they watched the Phantom team’s mbers eat. It had been a long ti since they had a warm al.

Not to ntion such fragrant scallion pancakes, it would have been good enough if they could have a hard, cold mantou. If they hadn’t seen or slled the food, it wouldn’t have been this torturous.

Being able to see but not eat was worse than death. After a long while, the sound of their stomachs growling was heard clearly.

Unable to endure it anymore, one of them finally asked, "Comrade, can I have a bite? I haven’t eaten for two days."

Shen Jinzhe turned his head when he heard this. He was sitting closest to them and intentionally let them watch him eat. He thought it would take a long ti before this group of people surrendered. Unexpectedly, it only took one al to make them talk.

He chewed on the grilled sausage slowly while staring at them. After a while, he finally asked, "You want to eat?"

The man quickly nodded when he heard this. His eyes lit up with expectation, and he licked his cracked, pale lips.

Seeing this, Shen Jinzhe turned to his team mbers and said, "Yixie, co over."

Hearing this, Pei Yixie knew that her ti to perform was finally here. She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and drank so water before walking over.

She squatted beside Shen Jinzhe and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shen, what is your order?"

"Check if they are lying."

"Okay," she nodded.

After a brief conversation with her, Shen Jinzhe turned to the group of ability-users and said, "As long as you answer my question, I will give you so food."

They were so hungry that they felt dizzy. To survive, they no longer cared about the consequences and agreed readily, "Okay!"

Shen Jinzhe nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Who are you? Why did you lure the zombies to this place?"

"Comrade, we are a rcenary team hired by soone. We never t him and only know the middleman. He gave us so crystal cores and asked us to get several oxygen tanks," one of them said.

After he was done, another man nodded and chid in, "Our team went to the hospital to get the oxygen tanks, but we encountered a group of zombies. We are only level-one ability-users. Facing so many zombies, we could only escape."

"Yes, yes! It’s pure coincidence that we ca to this area," another one added.

Pei Yixie stared at them for a mont and pointed at the man who had just spoken. "He is lying. They ca here because they noticed that a group of people were clearing zombies. They wanted to use us as a sacrifice to save themselves."

When she finished her words, the group of ability-users was shocked. They looked at her with widened eyes, and one of them stamred, "Y-you, how did you know?"

"Hmph! I can read faces. Don’t think you can lie to !" Pei Yixie glared at them.

Even though they didn’t believe her, she had been able to guess their motives, so she must not be simple. When they t her gaze, their hearts skipped a beat. Her gaze was sharp, as if she could see their deepest thoughts.

Narrowing his eyes, Shen Jinzhe asked, "Who is the middleman?"

Knowing that they couldn’t hide anything, the leader finally said, "I don’t know. That person wore a half-face mask. But from his figure and voice, he should be a man in his thirties."

"Do you have a way to contact him?" Shen Jinzhe asked again.

The leader shook his head and replied, "That person only told us to wait at Poplar base after we got the oxygen tanks. He said he would contact us."

Pei Yixie stared at them and said, "Brother Shen, he is telling the truth."

Shen Jinzhe didn’t believe the so-called coincidence at all.
