Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 321: Options ( 1 )

At nine o’clock in the morning, Li Qixuan, the children, and the teachers boarded the buses. Before they left, Jiao Lizhi gave them some dry food and water in case they couldn’t find any on the way.

"After you arrive at the base, report immediately," Jin Xuyan said as he handed a map to Li Qixuan.

Taking the map, Li Qixuan replied with a smile, "Understood."

Turning around, Jin Xuyan looked at his team members and said, "Everyone, we will depart now."

With his order, everyone boarded the armored vehicles and drove out of the school.

Inside the cafeteria, the staff watched them leave, and one of them asked, "Now that they have left, what should we do?"

"We will stay in this place. Since they already built the metal wall and repaired the gate, we can recruit more people to work for us. If they want to stay in this safe place, they have to pay with supplies," another staff member replied.

After leaving the school, Li Qixuan went toward Lin’an City while the Phantom team went to the town center. They didn’t take supplies such as food, water, or weapons, but took away the generators, machines, tools, and other important things used to build the base.

When they found a big gas station, Jiao Lizhi took the underground tanks into her space. With so many machines, the daily usage of oil would be very high after the base was built.

The moment the Phantom team members saw her take away so many massive underground oil tanks without even sweating, they finally realized how strong their sister-in-law’s mental power was. Compared to her, even Feng Yun was nothing to mention.

Along the way, they cleared the wandering zombies and those trapped in buildings. With them clearing the area, the survivors who were hiding finally dared to come out and search for supplies.

After they got the supplies, they noticed the metal wall in the distance as it reflected the sunlight. Seeing the tall wall, everyone walked there to find a safe place to stay.

With the Phantom team’s intervention, the small county town was moving toward becoming a small base.

Meanwhile, in Lin’an City base, Xun Che and his team were having a meeting. One of them stood up and reported, "Captain, the colonels and their parties are demanding to meet with you."

Hearing this, Xun Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have they been following the tasks assigned to them?"

The soldier nodded and replied, "Some of them obediently did their assigned tasks, but most of them tried to slack off and bribed the guards."

Xun Che let out a chuckle and said, "Bring them all to me."

Accepting the order, several soldiers went to escort the colonels and their subordinates to the meeting room. Twenty minutes later, the soldiers came out of the car and walked to the outskirts, where the wall was being built.

When the guards saw the soldiers, one of them walked over, saluted, and asked, "Sir, what brings you here today?"

"Captain asked us to escort the colonels and their people for questioning."

The moment he said this, the guards exchanged glances and went to get the people. When they returned, one of the colonels asked, "What does Xun Che want from me?"

"Colonel, you will know when you meet with the Captain," the soldier replied before he gestured to his team to take the people away.

Before they left, the soldier turned to the guards and said, "Just a reminder, keep your hands clean. The Captain won’t keep disloyal and corrupt people."

As soon as he said this, the guards turned pale instantly. Most of them were recruited by the base to supervise the wall-building and were not trained soldiers. While they were ability-users, they still couldn’t win against guns.

Therefore, they didn’t dare to openly use their authority and power to suppress others with the soldiers patrolling. But they accepted bribes, thinking that getting a little benefit for themselves was okay.

Now, with the soldier’s reminder, they finally realized that everything was under the Captain’s surveillance and control. If they continued their corrupt practices, they might be removed from their posts in mild cases, or even killed in the worst-case scenario.

After another twenty minutes, the soldiers returned to the meeting room with the colonels and their people. As they entered the room, the colonels glared at Xun Che, but no one dared to scold him openly. After all, they still remembered how he killed two of them without batting an eye.

"Captain, we have brought the people," the soldier reported.

Xun Che nodded and gestured for the soldier to stand to the side. Afterward, he looked at the colonels and their people for a while before he asked, "Everyone, I believe all of you already realize what is going on in this base."

Hearing this, they didn’t know what his intention was, but they were sure it wasn’t something good for them. So, one of the colonels asked, "Xun Che, what do you want?"

Tapping his fingers on the desk, Xun Che said, "I hate it when people try to be smart behind my back. Now that this base is under my control, I will never let anyone go against my authority or violate the rules. So, I will give you two options."

"What options?"

Xun Che raised one finger and said, "First, you can continue to stay in my base, but you will no longer hold any military position or title. You will be treated the same as the ordinary survivors."

Raising another finger, he continued, "Second, you are free to leave this base, but I will not give you any supplies or weapons. Whether you can survive out there or not depends on yourself."

The moment he finished his words, they were stunned. They had never considered relinquishing their military power or leaving the base without protection. Therefore, when they heard the options, they didn’t want to choose either.
