Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 233: Trapped ( 3 )

During their journey, some of the children developed high fevers—signs of awakening their second abilities. As a result, in addition to Zeng Changchao, Gu Shaoze, and Rong Mo'er, they now had three more ability-users on their team.

The youngest, Lin Jiaojiao—just three years old—had awakened a psychic-type ability. She could detect zombies or people with malicious intent within a 50-meter radius. Though the range wasn't far, it was enough to save lives in dangerous situations.

Alongside her were Xu Danyu and Fu Leizhen, both thirteen years old. Each had awakened their second ability.

Xu Danyu, whose first awakening had enhanced his vision, now gained a space-type ability with a 100-square-meter storage capacity.

Fu Leizhen, who had previously awakened a speed-type ability, now possessed a lightning-type ability. He had become one of the main combatants on their team, second only to Rong Mo'er.

Compared to Pei Yijun's lightning, which was a deeper shade, Fu Leizhen's lightning was light blue. Gu Shaoze and Rong Mo'er noticed the difference, but assumed it was simply due to individual variation and didn't dwell on it.

The rest of the children either had no awakened abilities or had only enhancement-type abilities. Since they had only gone out to gather supplies, they left the others resting at a small house near the city's border.

As Gu Shaoze drove, Rong Mo'er used a handy talkie they had found to try and contact anyone within a five-kilometer radius.

"How is it?" Gu Shaoze asked.

Rong Mo'er kept trying, but shook her head. "I can't reach anyone."

Just as she finished speaking, the static suddenly cleared, and a hoarse voice came through. "Hello."

The voice sounded familiar. Rong Mo'er asked immediately, "Li Yang?"

"Who is this?"

"It's me, Rong Mo'er. Where are you?" she asked quickly.

Through the speaker, she could hear the faint roars of zombies. Her expression turned grim. "Li Yang, are you fighting zombies right now?"

After a moment of silence, Li Yang answered, "No. My team and I are trapped inside a building. We don't know what's happening outside, and we have no supplies at all."

Rong Mo'er and the others exchanged alarmed looks. "We just saw a huge number of zombies gathering near the border of Jiangning City. Are you there?" she asked urgently.

"Mhm."

As soon as they heard that, Gu Shaoze asked, "How long can you hold out?"

"Not long."

Hearing the exhaustion in his hoarse voice, Rong Mo'er said, "We are heading out to request help. Hang on as long as you can."

"Contact Jin—"

The connection was abruptly cut off before he could finish. The handy talky returned to static.

Rong Mo'er looked at Gu Shaoze and asked, "Do you think Li Yang was trying to tell us to find Captain Jin?"

Gu Shaoze shook his head and replied, "Unlikely. Captain Jin and his team were wiped out during the zombie horde in the factory district."

Hearing this, Rong Moer lowered her eyes and continued to change frequencies, trying to contact someone.

Inside the building surrounded by the zombie horde, Li Yang lowered the handy talky and slipped it back into his pocket. Fortunately, he hadn't thrown it away when he found it earlier and had kept it with him.

Now, he could only hope that Rong Mo'er would be able to find someone to rescue them. Otherwise, they would die—whether by zombies or from starvation and dehydration.

As they waited, another day passed. The red moon finally set, and the sun slowly rose on the eastern horizon. The zombies were calming down even if they were not leaving yet.

After ten hours of breaking through, Chu Zhimiao finally opened her eyes. Unlike Li Yang, who had felt energized after his breakthrough, her body was covered in a thin layer of black, gooey substance emitting a foul stench.

The moment she regained her senses, she almost vomited from the smell of her own body. But before she could fully assess her condition, someone grabbed her shoulder and asked, "Miaomiao, how are you feeling?"

Turning her head, she saw Li Yang looking at her with a smile on his pale face. She smiled back and replied, "Besides being tortured by my body odor, I feel great."

"That's great!" Li Yang whispered happily.

"Li Yang, can you help me find something to wipe off this black stuff?" Chu Zhimiao asked.

Hearing this, Li Yang let her go and immediately took off his inner clothes, handing them to her before pulling his T-shirt back on.

Chu Zhimiao hesitated for a moment as she accepted the clothes, then stood up and walked to the back room.

Seeing her leave, Li Yang felt uneasy and followed her. As she cleaned herself inside the small room, he stood guard outside. Not long after, she returned, looking refreshed.

Handing the clothes back to him, she said, "I washed them but you will need to dry them before wearing them again." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Li Yang nodded and put his inner clothes away. Then he took out a protein bar from his pocket and said, "Miaomiao, you must be hungry. Eat this."

Taking the protein bar, Chu Zhimiao looked at him and asked, "What about you?"

Li Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. You eat."

Her eyes reddened at his words. After a moment, she whispered, "You are so stupid."

She sighed and opened the wrapper. After taking two bites, she handed the remaining half to him and said with a commanding tone, "You still have to protect me, so you need to eat."

Li Yang smiled at her tsundere behavior and replied, "Okay."

After sharing the protein bar, Chu Zhimiao searched the room and managed to find three unopened bottles of mineral water in a corner. She handed two to him and said, "Drink it all so I can refill them."

He was so thirsty he didn't hesitate and finished a bottle. Chu Zhimiao also drank one, then refilled both using her ability.

When she first awakened her power, she could only produce seven liters of water before running out of energy. But after continued use and practice, she could now produce up to 40 liters.
