Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

As soon as Jiao Lizhi stood in front of the counter, she took a tray and looked at the dishes placed inside several big metal basins behind the glass window.

"Comrade, what do you want to eat?" a staff member asked.

After looking for a moment, Jiao Lizhi said, "I want a bowl of pumpkin soup and two steamed buns. Also, give me a little bit of the dishes."

Hearing this, the staff raised his eyebrows. It was rare for someone to buy so much food at once. Although the price of the food was not as expensive as those sold in the marketplace, it wasn't cheap either.

"Comrade, are you sure you want everything?" the staff member asked again.

Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "I want to try the dishes. Comrade, just give me a portion each."

Since she had said so, the staff member didn't say any more words and filled her tray with several bowls of food. There were a total of twelve dishes including the steamed buns, so the staff got one more tray for her.

With two trays full of food, Jiao Lizhi went to the counter to pay. Everyone watched her with envy and disdain.

Those who looked at her with disdain thought that she must be a new Base member. Only those who had been starved for a long time would spend money recklessly to buy food.

As for the rest of the survivors, they were envious as she could eat to her heart's content. Having money was indeed good!

Ignoring their gazes, Jiao Lizhi found a place near the window and took her seat. Before eating, she took out a bottle of warm milk from her space. This was the dairy cattle's milk. She had boiled it and stored it in bottles for convenience.

When she opened the lid, the fragrance of fresh milk wafted out and filled the air. While she was taking a sip of her milk, a woman sitting next to her turned to her and asked, "Sister, may I ask where you bought this milk?"

Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi turned to her and asked, "Sister, you can buy milk powder from the Base."

"Well, the price for milk powder is too expensive. I can't afford it," the woman said embarrassedly.

Jiao Lizhi looked at her for a moment before she asked, "Sister, do you know what kind of milk I'm drinking?"

"From the scent, it should be cow's milk," the woman replied.

Shaking her head, Jiao Lizhi replied with a smile, "I obtained this milk from a mutant cow. While the scent and taste are not much different from normal cow's milk, I don't know whether it is safe for consumption."

The woman was taken aback by her words and said, "Sister, you didn't know if it was safe and still drank it?"

"I'm an ability-user. Even if this milk contains some zombie virus, it won't be able to turn me into a zombie. But if this milk is consumed by an ordinary person, I can't be sure that nothing will happen," Jiao Lizhi said casually.

Hearing this, the woman lost her interest and said, "I see. Then, it's better for me not to drink it."

Jiao Lizhi smiled but didn't say a word. Thanks to this conversation, those people who planned to find out the source of the milk gave up on the idea.

Without people staring at her, she was finally able to taste the food. While the food lacked seasoning, the taste was acceptable. The amount of food per portion was not small either.

A bowl of pumpkin soup cost her one point and a steamed bun cost her half a point. With two steamed buns and a bowl of pumpkin soup, it could fill an adult's stomach. Paying two points for a meal was a good deal.

Based on the price and the quantity of the food, it seemed that the quality of life in this base was not bad. Looks like it's not a bad thing to give more supplies to Xun Che and his team.

While she was enjoying her breakfast, Pei Yixie finally woke up from her coma after a whole night. When she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Guai's close-up face. There were only two inches of distance between them.

At this close distance, she could see a trace of silver color flickering in his pupils. Feeling his warm breath brushing her cheeks, she parted her lips and said hoarsely, "Y-you move back a little."

Fu Guai stared at her eyes for a while. When he didn't see any sign of her being controlled, he finally straightened his back and thought, 'She is no longer being controlled.'

With their fingers touching each other, Pei Yixie heard his thought as clearly as if he were whispering it right beside her ear. She glanced at him and sat up before asking, "What happened to me?"

'The Captain said that your father planted a chip to control you. Yesterday, the chip planted in your head was activated. I removed the chip from your brain and you fainted due to the pain,' Fu Guai thought inwardly.

He didn't know if she could hear his thoughts, but he still explained it to her.

Pei Yixie had suspicions of her father's involvement in her kidnapping. But she didn't dare to investigate it, fearing that if she learned the truth, the last thread of her affection toward her father would be destroyed.

Unexpectedly, she didn't even have to investigate at all. With the activation of the chip yesterday, together with the conversation she overheard that night, it already proved her father's involvement with those people.

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath to press down her disappointment and anger. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said calmly, "Thank you for saving my life, Brother Fu. I will definitely repay this favor."

When he heard her words, Fu Guai's eyes lit up. Now that he had confirmed that she could hear his thoughts, he nodded and thought, 'Since you want to repay me, you can do it now. I want you to become my voice.'
