Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 184: A Granny And A Baby ( 2 )



"Granny, you can feed the baby with this first. After we leave this place, we will cook some porridge for him," Xiao Qi said.

The old woman was stunned when she saw the oatmeal. She accepted it and knelt down in front of them, saying, "Thank you, benefactor. Thank you!"

Everyone was shocked by her gesture. Xiao Qi quickly helped her up and said, "Granny, please stand up."

The old woman no longer resisted them and quickly fed the oatmeal to the baby.

"Granny, how old is the baby?" Xiao Qi asked.

"My grandson is four months old," the old woman replied while feeding him.

They looked at the thin baby, who looked more like a two-month-old, and sighed. The baby was malnourished and starving—no wonder he looked like that.

After feeding him, Xiao Qi took out the corn water he had stored earlier and handed it to the old woman.

"Granny, this is corn water. You can give it to your grandson, and you should drink some, too," he said.

When the old woman heard this, her eyes lit up. For people her age, they knew corn water had many health benefits and could nourish the body. This was good stuff!

"Thank you, benefactor."

Xiao Qi was embarrassed to be called a benefactor, so he said, "Granny, my name is Xiao Qi. You can just call me by name."

"Okay, Xiao Qi," the old woman agreed.

After feeding the corn water to her grandson, she took a sip. The corn water was delicious and refreshing. She took several more sips and felt her energy slowly returning.

Worried that she wouldn't have food later for her grandson, she was reluctant to drink more and saved the rest for him.

"Granny, just drink more. We still have water and food," Xiao Qi said and handed her a pack of compressed biscuits.

Under his urging, the old woman finished the biscuits and corn water. After she regained her energy, Zhang Yuan said, "Let's go."

When they came out, Jiang Lixin noticed the baby's condition and said, "Vice-captain, can I take a look at the baby?"

Hearing her words, the old woman hugged her grandson closer and said, "My grandson is fine."

"Your grandson has some rash and shortness of breath. His face is flushed and he is shivering. He might have a fever," Jiang Lixin said.

Seeing the old woman still unwilling to let her check, she added, "I'm a doctor. I can help you check the baby's condition."

"Granny, she is one of us," Xiao Qi said.

After hearing his words, the old woman finally nodded. Jiang Lixin reached out and checked the baby's pulse and body.

Five minutes later, she said, "Your grandson has a fever. We don't have any medicine or tools, so we can only lower his temperature manually."

Just after she said this, Feng Yun took out a pack of fever medicine for babies and a pack of compresses from his space. He handed them to her and said, "Here."

Jiang Lixin took the medicine, read the instructions, and fed the syrup to the baby. Then, she placed the compresses on the baby's forehead and armpits to lower his body temperature.

When she was done, she took off her husband's shirt and used it to cover the baby. Left with only a T-shirt, Chen Zhiyi glanced at his wife speechlessly.

"Give the baby more water during this period," she reminded the old woman.

After they finished treating the baby, they continued clearing the zombies while checking the supplies and looking for survivors.

Some houses still had uncontaminated supplies, and Xiao Qi took everything, including the gas cylinder and stove.

At the same time, Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan were facing a group of people in the poultry farming area.

The two of them observed the group and noticed that some had deformed body parts. One of them had a huge arm, while another had a huge leg. These deformed body parts were signs of strength-type ability users.

Unlike elemental-type ability users, the basic sense-type users were easier to recognize due to the physical changes in their bodies.

For example, the increase in the strength of strength-type ability users came from their muscles, bones, and joints mutating after being affected by the zombie virus. As for vision-type ability users, the changes were found in their pupils.

Except for strength-type users, the other basic abilities caused minimal changes to the body. So, after a moment of observation, they knew this group was made up of ability users.

Four of them were strength-type ability users, but only one seemed experienced. The other three might have only recently awakened their abilities. As for the rest, they need to observe more to find out their abilities.

After a moment, Jin Xuyan asked, "What do you want?"

The man with the biggest arm pointed at Jiao Lizhi and said, "You came into our territory and need to pay the price. Leave that woman and everything you have behind, and you can walk away with your life. Otherwise, we will kill you."

When he heard the man's words, Jin Xuyan's eyes turned cold. It was one thing to rob him since robbery was common in the apocalypse, but it was an entirely different matter if they dared to covet his Ah Zhi.

Before anyone could react, he flicked his fingers, and a small fireball the size of a bean flew toward the man at high speed.

No one noticed the small black flame except Jiao Lizhi, who stood beside him. When she saw his attack, she pulled out her dagger, ready for battle.

"Argh!"

In the blink of an eye, the man suddenly screamed as the black flame engulfed his fingers, burning them to ashes. Seeing his fingers disappear so suddenly, everyone was stunned.

Just as they thought the flame would reduce him to a pile of ashes, Jin Xuyan flicked his finger and retrieved the black flame.

He played with the wisp of fire floating above his palm and said with a smile, "If you dare to point your finger again, it won't be just your fingers that turn to ashes."
