Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 296: Thorn In The Heart
Chapter 296: Thorn In The Heart
Jiao Lizhi looked at her fiancé and asked with her eyes. Seeing him nod, she said, "It should be equal to two or three soccer fields."
Thinking about the actual size of her space, Jin Xuyan felt his fiancée was being too humble. The size was far greater than that. Just the grassland alone should be more than 30 hectares, while three soccer fields are only around 2.13 hectares.
While he thought so, everyone else in the room was shocked. The largest known space-type ability user was Feng Yun, and his space was only about 0.18 hectares.
As for Xiao Qi, he had already wilted like a frosted eggplant. Their team had three space-type ability users, and his space was the smallest—only 100 square meters. Compared to the other two, his ability seemed like child’s play.
What he didn’t know was that, compared to other space-type ability users, his space already counted as high-grade. After all, space-type abilities were rare, and the size of the space depended on the user’s mental power. The stronger the mental power, the larger the space.
The reason his space was bigger than most was due to his training as a special forces soldier, while Feng Yun’s massive space came from a near-death experience. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth, and so was the difference in their mental power.
As for Jiao Lizhi, she hadn’t just experienced death—she had died due to betrayal. Waking up with regrets, hatred, and deep unwillingness.
If not for her rebirth, she might have become an evil spirit, demanding for lives. Therefore, her mental power far surpassed even Feng Yun’s.
After a long silence, Wei Ying finally muttered under his breath, "She really is Jin Xuyan’s girlfriend. Even her ability is monstrous."
Although he spoke softly, ability users had enhanced senses, so everyone heard him clearly. They glanced at the couple and saw Jin Xuyan’s darkened face. They assumed he was offended by his girlfriend being called a monster.
Unexpectedly, he intertwined his fingers with Jiao Lizhi’s and raised their hands for all to see. Under the light, the couple’s rings on their ring fingers glistened brightly, almost blinding the single dogs’ eyes.
"Ah Zhi is my fiancée now," he said proudly.
The moment he said this, Wei Ying and Xun Che were shocked, while the Phantom team members wore expressions of ’as expected.’
"Comrade Jiao, you are so young, beautiful, and strong. Why did you settle with this old man so fast? Don’t you want to explore more? Maybe you will find a better man than him," Wei Ying blurted out without thinking.
He was 11 years older than Jin Xuyan, yet he didn’t even have a girlfriend, let alone a fiancée. Comparing himself to Jin Xuyan made him feel bitter.
Even though he wasn’t as handsome as Xun Che or Jin Xuyan, he was still above average, if one overlooked his tanned skin. He just couldn’t understand why no one liked him and preferred the pretty boys.
When everyone heard his words, they lit a candle for him in their hearts.
As expected, Jin Xuyan’s face darkened as he said, "Old Wei, you can leave now. Also, you are not allowed within ten meters of my Ah Zhi, in case you corrupted her mind."
Before Wei Ying could speak, he added, "Xiao Qi, send the guest off."
"Hey, I didn’t mean to offend you. I’m just confused," Wei Ying said.
Under everyone’s gaze, he was escorted out of the house.
Standing outside, Xiao Qi let out a sigh and said, "Captain Wei, you can say whatever you want, but you shouldn’t joke about the relationship between my captain and sister-in-law."
Pointing to his own temple, he added in a hush voice, "When it comes to my sister-in-law, my captain’s brain works differently. It’s a landmine that would explode without warning."
Finally understanding the situation, Wei Ying lamented, "I was really just curious. That brat is seriously lucky!"
Xiao Qi didn’t dare comment and only smiled at his words. After sending him off, he returned to the living room and saw everyone chatting as if nothing had happened.
Xun Che left after staying another fifteen minutes. Once he was gone, everyone began checking their equipment and supplies in preparation for tomorrow.
The distance from Lin’an to the Capital would take at least one or two months of travel under current conditions. If anything happened along the way, it might take even longer.
When she was done handing over the solar panels and generator to Xun Che’s subordinates, Jiao Lizhi found her fiancé and asked, "Brother Yan, should we warn Xun Che about the incoming rain?"
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "I have already warned him. I also told him to strengthen the defenses, especially the wall."
Thinking about the second rain from her previous life, Jiao Lizhi asked again, "Brother Yan, should we prepare more supplies for them in case they encounter a zombie horde?"
Recalling information from his past life, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "We can give them more supplies just in case."
"But since we have already cleared out the zombies in the factory districts and Lin’an University, the chances of a zombie horde happening in this area are lower. Besides, the zombies on the border are no longer a threat."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi nodded and said, "That’s a relief. I hope this time, we can prevent Lin’an City from becoming an S-rank zombie city."
"Ah Zhi, don’t worry. Although I can’t promise we won’t face the same things as in the previous life, I can promise I will protect you well," Jin Xuyan said, pulling her into his embrace.
Feeling safe in his arms, Jiao Lizhi smiled and said, "Brother Yan, it’s good to have you with me. I don’t have to fight alone anymore."
When Jin Xuyan heard this, his heart ached for her and he thought inwardly, ’If I had been braver in my previous life... would my Ah Zhi have avoided being torn apart by zombies and died a gruesome death?’
This thought had always been a thorn in his heart. No matter how hard he tried to move on, he couldn’t let go of the guilt he felt.
