Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507: One Step Too Late ( 1 )

Without Chen Qianfeng and Jiao Lizhi, they needed to find water. So, after discussing the matter with Li Sikai, Shen Jinzhe left with Zhou Huajian, driving their armored car.

The two of them didn’t go far and went to the rest area near the gas station.

Unlike the eastern area, the number of zombies in the rest area was less than a hundred. For the two of them, this number was not even enough for them to loosen their muscles.

They cleaned up the zombies in less than half an hour and checked the stores. After checking the map of the rest area, Zhou Huajian said, "Let’s check the warehouse area."

"Okay," Shen Jinzhe nodded and followed him.

The warehouse area was not as big as the warehouses in the factory district, but the supplies stored inside had a wide variety.

Judging from the arrangement, one warehouse was shared by several stores. With the supplies stored inside the five warehouses, it should be enough for their base to last for at least two to three months.

Seeing this, Zhou Huajian took a satellite phone from his backpack and dialed a number. Not long after, the phone was picked up and Wen Hanli’s voice came from the receiver, "Hello."

"Vice Commander Wen, it’s me, Zhou Huajian."

Before Wen Hanli could ask his purpose in calling, Zhou Huajian continued, "Vice Commander Wen, my team found supplies at the rest area located on the Fifth Ring Highway. Please send people to transport the supplies."

"How’s the situation there?" Wen Hanli asked.

"We have cleared the zombies in a radius of five hundred meters. The road conditions are also good. But there is a group of people hiding in the convenience store located at a small gas station two kilometers away from the rest area."

"Are they ability-users?" Wen Hanli asked again.

Hearing this, Zhou Huajian replied, "We didn’t confirm their identities. My team’s mission is clearing up zombies. So, we will leave the matter regarding them to you."

When Wen Hanli heard this, he let out a chuckle and said, "Okay. I will send a team to handle this matter."

Zhou Huajian hung up the call after he got Wen Hanli’s words. Turning to Shen Jinzhe, he said, "The base will send a team to transport these supplies."

"Okay."

The two of them locked the warehouses before they returned to the storefront areas.

Besides taking several boxes of mineral water, they filled the armored car with convenient food such as sausages, cup noodles, beef jerky, instant noodles, self-heating hotpots, cereals, rice, flour, seasonings, and cookies.

Since most of the supplies were vacuum sealed, the shelf life of the supplies could last longer.

They also took two clean iron pots, five plastic bowls, five plastic cups, a pack of spoons, and a pack of chopsticks. When they were done, they drove back to the small gas station.

"His condition has stabilized, but he might need two more days before he wakes up."

"Alright, after breakfast, we will go to the rest area and wait for the guards," Li Sikai said.

"Understood," the members replied in unison.

While they were eating, the group inside the convenience store almost went crazy from hunger. After being tortured by the scent of grilled meat last night, they were tortured by the scent of instant noodles now.

Despite their thirst, their mouths still watered when they smelled the scent. Rubbing his painful stomach, the leader finally made up his mind and said, "Let’s go out and check the situation. If we continue hiding here, we will starve to death."

The moment the group heard his words, their eyes lit up. After they saw that one of the men who went to the warehouse was unharmed, they no longer wanted to stay inside this place.

So, with their leader’s order, they quickly peeled off the planks blocking the door and left the convenience store one after another. Soon after they left the convenience store, they walked to the warehouse area.

Everyone thought that they would be able to get some food if they encountered the group as they ate. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the warehouse area, there was no one there.

Looking at the empty warehouse, the thin man said, "Boss, there is no one here."

The leader walked into the warehouse and saw the traces of a bonfire inside. Smelling the strong scent of instant noodles, he said, "They must not be far. Let’s go."
