Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

As soon as Jiao Lizhi opened her eyes, she met with Rong Qinyu's sharp gaze. She blinked her eyes, and when she reopened them, she met with his gentle eyes as he asked, "Comrade Jiao, what's wrong?"

When she saw his smile, Jiao Lizhi narrowed her eyes. She rarely doubted her instinct. Just now, when she met his eyes, she noticed a killing intent. She was sure that she had never met this person, so why would he have a killing intent toward her?

While she was lost in her thoughts, Jin Xuyan noticed that his fiancée kept staring at another man. Feeling sour in his heart, he looked at Rong Qinyu. The moment he saw his gaze, he narrowed his eyes.

He thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Rong, since you will be leaving tomorrow, how about having dinner at my place tonight? You must want to meet with your cousin before leaving."

Hearing this, Rong Qinyu smiled and replied, "I would love to accept your invitation, Captain Jin. But I'm afraid I can't do it. Our trip to the Lin'an City Base is a secret mission."

Jin Xuyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. But before he could say a word, Feng Xiu said, "Qinyu, since your cousin is a Phantom Team member, it's alright to visit her and have a meal together."

Rong Qinyu's smile stiffened for a moment when he heard his girlfriend's words before it returned to normal. He nodded and said, "Okay. It's also time for you to meet my family."

The moment he said this, Feng Xiu's gaze softened. She nodded and said, "I will listen to you."

While the two of them were chatting, Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan stared at Rong Qinyu. No matter how he masked it, his gentle treatment toward Feng Xiu looked fake in their eyes.

Not long after, the soldiers finally finished counting the crystal cores, and one of them said, "Commander, the total amount of the crystal cores is 200,000 pieces."

Xun Che nodded and said, "Okay. Send over these crystal cores to the finance department."

"Understood."

The soldier nodded and left the room with his team. Since they had accepted the down payment, Xun Che took out two pieces of paper and signed his name on them.

Then, he pushed the paper to Feng Xiu and said, "Commander Feng, after you sign the contract, we will start the weapons crafting as soon as possible."

Feng Xiu nodded and signed her name on the contracts. When she was done, she took one copy and returned one copy to Xun Che.

Standing up, she said, "Commander Xun, we still have things to do, so we won't take up your time anymore."

Xun Che nodded and sent them off to the door before he returned to the couch.

After he took his seat, Jin Xuyan said, "Now that it's only us here, you can tell us what you want from me."

Hearing this, Xun Che let out a chuckle and said, "Jin Xuyan, you really are as blunt as ever."

He went to his desk to take a folder and handed it to him before he said, "This is the information regarding the situation in the surrounding cities. At this moment, our base lacks a defensive system the most. Even with a high wall, it's still impossible to defend against a zombie horde without weapons."

Opening the folder, Jin Xuyan read the information for a while before he said, "So, you want my team to take up this mission and bring back the weapons from the Gu family's factory?"

Xun Che nodded and replied, "When I was sent on a mission to Sanchou City three years ago, I heard that the government found a mineral mine near the border of Sanchou and Luyang City."

"You want my team to find that mine, too?" Jin Xuyan said with raised eyebrows.

"If possible, it would be great if we were able to secure materials to create weapons to boost our defense," Xun Che replied with a nod.

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Isn't it easier to ask metal-type ability-users to create the weapons?"

Shaking his head, Xun Che said, "I have asked all of the metal-type ability-users in our base. So far, only Wen Kai is able to create metal from nothing. The rest of the metal-type ability-users are only able to control the existing metal."

After he said this, he paused for a moment before he added, "Regarding this matter, it would be best to keep his ability a secret."

When he heard this, Jin Xuyan said, "Although creation ability is rare now, after the second rain, more people will obtain creation ability. But as you said, we are in urgent need of materials. My team will take this mission."

The moment he heard this, Xun Che heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."

"But this mission is an A-grade mission with the addition of a B-grade mission. Fifty thousand crystal cores as the reward, isn't it too low?" Jin Xuyan asked.

"Then, how much do you think is enough?" Xun Che asked him back.

"At least 300,000 crystal cores," Jin Xuyan replied casually.

Hearing this, Xun Che felt pain in his heart. He had just managed to secure a business deal, and now he had to use all of his earnings from this deal to hire the Phantom Team. It seemed that his pocket would have another big hole.

After hesitating for a moment, he let out a sigh and said, "Okay. I will send the crystal cores to your place in two hours."

"We will take two days of rest before we leave the base," Jin Xuyan said before he stood up and left with his fiancée.

"Okay," Xun Che nodded.

After leaving Xun Che's office, the two of them went to the water reservoir area. The reservoir was located at the central ring and guarded by more than 50 guards.

This area was used as a water reservoir by the Mount Peak Garden's management before the apocalypse. Besides countless water tanks, there was a small dam built near the water source.
