Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space

Chapter 290: Black Flame Pillar



Scratching her head, Jiao Lizhi replied, "That person was actually one of my classmates. Her name is Mo Bingxue, and she was Pei Yijun's team member before. I don't know what happened to her, but she turned into a zombie the next time I met her."

"But before she became a zombie, she had a healing ability. During our battle, I noticed she was targeting me and seemed to retain her memories. She even had consciousness," she added.

After hearing his girlfriend's explanation, Jin Xuyan suddenly asked, "Ah Zhi, what's her name again?"

"Mo Bingxue."

Seeing her boyfriend frown, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Brother Yan, do you know her?"

"She might be Mo Junjie's cousin. Old Zhang told me about him looking for his cousin and posting a missing person notice at Xun Che's base. Old Zhang said the person he was looking for was named Mo Bingxue," Jin Xuyan said with a sigh.

Jiao Lizhi was shocked when she heard this. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Brother Yan, should we tell Mo Junjie about this? It's not good for him to keep searching when she is already gone."

"We will tell him the truth when we return to Xun Che's base. If he wants to leave, we won't force him to stay," Jin Xuyan said.

"Will he hate us for killing his cousin?" Jiao Lizhi asked.

Hearing this, Jin Xuyan smiled and replied, "Don't worry. What we killed was a zombie, not a human. Even if he learns we were the ones who killed her, he has no reason to hate us. After all, we only did it because she had turned and was trying to kill us."

Jiao Lizhi nodded, then asked again, "Then what about your friend?"

Jin Xuyan looked at his friend and noticed that he was staring at them with interest. Although he no longer had the zombie virus inside him, the facility had put a tracker on him.

If they let him out, the facility might track his location and endanger his girlfriend and team. Before he was strong enough, he wouldn't confront the facility head-on.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally said, "Ah Zhi, if possible, it's better for him to stay in your space. If you are worried, you can put restrictions on him like you did with the mutant animals."

When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi looked at her boyfriend and said, "Brother Yan, I thought you had a good relationship with him."

"We are best friends and grew up together," Jin Xuyan replied.

"Then how could you treat him like the mutant animals?" she asked.

"It's just an example," he said helplessly.

Jiao Lizhi gave him another glance before she said, "I won't restrict him. As long as he is in my space, I can continue to monitor his movement and use my consciousness to control him if he suddenly goes crazy."

"Alright then, I will listen to you," Jin Xuyan smiled.

After their discussion, Jiao Lizhi went to the kitchen and made some food. She cooked a pot of steamed rice, roasted a chicken, brewed hot and sour fish soup, and fried several eggs.

When the food was served, she asked, "Brother Yan, do you think your friend can eat human food?"

Jin Xuyan glanced at Fu Guai and said, "He should be able to."

Just as he said this, Fu Guai walked over and sat beside him. He looked at him with an urging gaze.

Seeing this, Jin Xuyan scooped a bowl of steamed rice for him. The moment he placed the bowl in front of him, Fu Guai used his hand to shove the rice into his mouth.

"Hey, don't use your hands, use chopsticks," Jiao Lizhi said.

"Ah Zhi, he might not know how to use utensils," Jin Xuyan said sadly.

'From the way he ate, he must have been raised like an animal in the facility,' he thought inwardly.

Fu Guai didn't pick at the dishes and only ate the white rice. When he finished, he slammed the table, asking for more.

This time, Jiao Lizhi used a plate instead. She scooped more rice onto it and added some dishes for him too. When Fu Guai tasted the food, his eyes lit up and his eating speed increased.

Sitting beside him, Jin Xuyan picked more dishes for him as they ate. When they finished, he gave Fu Guai a bath and helped him change into clean clothes.

The moment Jiao Lizhi saw him after he took a bath, she asked, "Brother Yan, are you sure he is not your brother? The two of you look so similar."

Jin Xuyan smiled at her words but said nothing. He didn't want to tell her about the facility yet. He would wait until he was stronger before he told her everything.

After she left more food and water for Fu Guai, Jiao Lizhi held her boyfriend's hand and left the space.

The moment they reappeared, they were faced with countless zombies surrounding them. The sound of zombies roaring was so loud that Jiao Lizhi felt as if her eardrums had been pierced.

When the zombies caught their scent, they pounced instantly.

Seeing this, Jin Xuyan pulled his girlfriend into his embrace.

Boom!

Before the zombies' claws and teeth could touch them, a burst of black flame erupted from his body, creating a fire barrier around them.

"Roar!!"

Being in the center of the zombie horde, he didn't hold back and released 30% of his energy. As the black flame fed on his power, the temperature in the area surged. Any zombie that came into contact with the flame was instantly reduced to ashes.

Before long, the fire barrier transformed into a towering pillar of black flame, shooting up toward the sky.

Standing at its center, Jin Xuyan expanded the barrier outward. As seconds passed, the flame pillar grew to thirty meters in diameter and ten meters in height.

Standing atop the metal wall, the Phantom team members witnessed the scene together with the Eagle team and the soldiers sent by Xun Che.
