Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Interest And Scrutiny

After he heard the team leader’s words, Wen Hanli muttered, “To be able to compress the zombies into a large cube, we need either a wind-type ability-user or a space-type ability-user. Both have to be able to control wind or a spatial space.”

“Vice Commander, if we cannot find the ability-users, we can dig up an underground chamber then cover the wall with metal plates to avoid the virus contaminating the soil or underground water,” the team leader suggested.

Wen Hanli thought for a while before he said, “Go inform the team leaders, we will have a meeting tomorrow morning at six o’clock.”

“Understood,” the team leader gave him a salute and left.

While most of the people were pulling an all-nighter and working overtime, another day had passed.

Early the next morning, a group of soldiers were having a meeting at the military barracks.

Sitting at the head of the table, Wen Hanli explained the plan to replace fuel using zombies to them and said, “It is almost autumn now, and it will not be long before winter. Before the weather changes, we have to acquire as many supplies as we can, including fuel, charcoal, and firewood.”

“Vice Commander, after the zombie horde, the number of zombies in the city center should reduce by at least half. I think now is the best opportunity for us to check on the city center and other areas with high populations,” one of the Captains suggested.

Hearing this, another Captain added, “Besides prioritizing food, medicine, and fuel, we have to get as many winter clothes as we can.”

Wen Hanli nodded at their words and looked at the city map. Pointing at the city near Zhenhe Lake, he said, “There is a cotton plantation and factory at Gusu City. If we can secure the materials, it is not impossible for us to prepare winter clothes for everyone.”

“Vice Commander, it will not be easy for us to get the materials,” Wang He said.

“Not to mention that we have not yet recovered from the zombie horde attack. At this moment, we cannot spare any guards to go on this mission as we need to rebuild our damaged wall as soon as possible,” Xie Zhou added.

After a moment of silence, Wen Hanli said, “According to the census data we have, there are a total of more than two hundred ability-users who joined our base during this period. If we cannot handle this mission by ourselves, we can post a mission and recruit a mercenary team to do it.”

“Vice Commander, the mission to the cotton plantation would be at least an A-rank mission. At this moment, there are not many mercenary teams who meet the requirement to take the mission,” Xie Zhou reminded him.

“I believe that there will be many people who are unable to join a team. How about we recruit them personally under the base’s name? Instead of a reward, they will receive a salary,” Wang He asked.

“You mean, you want to hire them temporarily?” Xie Zhou asked.

“Yes,” Wang He nodded.

Wen Hanli thought for a moment and said, “This is not a bad idea. I will inform the Public Bureau and Mission Hall about this matter. For now, everyone focuses on digging the underground warehouse and storing the zombies’ corpses first.”

When everyone heard this, they nodded and replied in unison, “Understood.”

“The meeting is adjourned,” Wen Hanli said and left the meeting room.

After he left, the Captains and team leaders left one after another. When the meeting room was empty, the window opened suddenly and a breeze blew the curtains.

When the sun rose on the horizon, most of the Phantom Team members were still sleeping, while Jiao Lizhi woke up and went to the water reservoir area.

Riding her bike, she looked at the situation in the base and smiled. Compared to her previous life, the situation in Lin’an City was vastly different now.

Even though the fourth wall was damaged, thanks to the good design and materials, and also solid defenses, it did not collapse during the zombie horde attack.

When she arrived at the water reservoir area, it was seven o’clock in the morning. The moment the guards saw her, their eyes lit up. No one knew what level she was, but everyone knew that she was powerful.

While the survivors only knew Gu Shaoze and Chen Qianfeng as the highest level of water-type ability-users in their base, the guards who witnessed her filling up the dam believed that she was at least a level four ability-user.

As she walked over, one of the guards greeted her with a smile, “Good morning, Comrade Jiao.”

“Good morning, Comrade. I came to contribute some water,” Jiao Lizhi nodded at him.

Hearing this, the guard nodded and said, “Comrade, it is great that you and your team are finally back. With our limited water-type ability-users, we almost consumed all of our water in the past month. If not for Comrade Gu Shaoze’s help, we might have been unable to hold on until now.”

“I am sure that Commander Xun will be able to solve the crisis even if we did not come back in time,” Jiao Lizhi replied.

After a brief conversation, she went to the area where they stored the water tanks. As soon as she entered the area, she noticed that the number of ability-users was at least ten percent more than before.

Several unfamiliar yet familiar faces were mixed in the group. The moment she saw them, the corner of her lips lifted.

With them joining the Lin’an City Base, they would not have to worry about running out of water. After all, these people were a small percentage of ability-users who managed to break through to level four in her past life.

She walked to the end of the area and started filling the water tank. Since everyone was busy with their own tasks, only a few noticed her.

They witnessed the Phantom Team’s strength and the secret information about her. At this moment, they looked at her with interest and scrutiny.
