Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 171: Next Move

He tried to recall memories from his past life and was certain that the high-level zombie in this area had been a fire-type. But apart from that female zombie with high regeneration, the others were only level-one or level-two.

Considering the possibility that the fire-type zombie had not yet emerged in the current timeline, he decided not to dwell on it further.

As long as they eliminated most of the zombies in the area, even if the fire-type zombie appeared later, it wouldn't have enough crystal cores to consume. Without the crystal cores, it would be impossible for it to evolve to level-six or higher.

Having made up his mind, he turned and left the university. This time, he didn't head back directly but began clearing zombies from the rear.

Concerned about absorbing too much energy, he used his longsword to chop off the zombies' heads. The black flame engulfed their heads and disappeared moments later, leaving a pile of ashes.

The energy accumulated from burning the rotten heads would be enough to offset the energy he used. With his level on the verge of breaking through, he killed the zombies effortlessly. Even level-two zombies couldn't lay a scratch on him.

With Jin Xuyan and his team clearing the area swiftly, the last zombie was eliminated before sunset. From the top of the wall, Zhang Yuan watched his captain burning the zombies' corpses below.

Raising his head, Jin Xuyan called out, "Jinzhe, Old Qin, Xiao Qi—go check if there are any wandering zombies that we missed and clean up the rest of the corpses."

Following his orders, the three of them leapt from the metal wall and got to work.

At the same time, the other soldiers jumped down, and Wen Mo turned the metal wall into countless BB gun bullets, which Feng Yun collected into his space.

With the wall removed, they could finally see Chen Zhiyi's condition. Unlike Jiang Lixin, who had already recovered, he was still unconscious.

"Brother Gao, please help me check on my husband," Jiang Lixin said anxiously.

Gao Bohai nodded and replied, "Let me take a look."

Feng Yun took out the medical equipment from his space and assisted him in sterilizing the tools. After examining Chen Zhiyi for a while, Gao Bohai said, "Brother Chen's condition is stable—just a slight fever. He should wake up soon."

After he fed him fever medicine, he added, "Sister Jiang, be sure to keep him hydrated and monitor his temperature. If there's any change, let me know right away."

Jiang Lixin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard his words and said, "Thank you, Brother Gao."

"We will find a place to spend the night once Old Qin, Jinzhe, and Xiao Qi return. Everyone, rest up and recover your strength," Jin Xuyan said.

"Captain, we have finished clearing the zombies in this area. What's our next step?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Jin Xuyan thought for a moment before answering, "We will head to the central city tomorrow. We will clear out any remaining zombies and assess the situation."

Zhang Yuan nodded and asked, "Captain, do you plan to send all the survivors to Jiangning City?"

Jin Xuyan shook his head and explained, "No. If we send them all there, Jiangning won't have enough supplies to support them. We will direct some to Yunshan, Xianning, and Jinwu City instead. These three border Lin'an, and they are closer than Jiangning."

"If we manage to clear out more zombies, people may even establish a base here. That would make relocation much easier for the survivors. Old Zhang, start listing the family names of our brothers—we will keep an eye out for them along the way."

Zhang Yuan nodded and replied, "Got it."

When the red moon rose into the sky, Qin Luzi returned with Xiao Qi and Shen Jinzhe.

Xiao Qi handed a sack full of crystal cores to Jin Xuyan and said, "Captain, these are the crystal cores."

Jin Xuyan took the sack and nodded. "It's late now—we should find a place to rest."

They headed back to their armored vehicles and drove in the direction of Lin'an University. This time, instead of returning to the factory area, they took the route that led toward the central city.

About thirty minutes later, they spotted a small gas station and pulled into its yard.
