Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 148

After killing the zombie, their initial fear lessened. Looking at the black blood and rotten flesh, Xiao Jiu let out a dry heave but still used her stick to stir the rotten brain.

Five minutes later, she saw a small crystal glistening under the sunlight. Feeling excited, she reached out and picked it up before flicking her hands several times to remove the black blood and rotten flesh.

The soldiers nodded and said, "Congratulations, Comrade. You have successfully killed a zombie and obtained a crystal."

At this moment, the crystal represented food and water. With this thought, the three of them found a new goal—to kill as many zombies as possible to collect more crystals.

While Sister Wei's group was making progress, the other teams were struggling.

Stab!

A soldier drove his dagger into the back of a zombie's head, killing it instantly. As the zombie fell to the ground with a thud, he looked at the survivors squatting with their hands covering their heads.

Turning to his companion, he asked, "What should we do? It seems impossible to get them to kill zombies. They won't even dare to look at them."

His friend thought for a moment and said, "If we take them back like this, the Captain will blame us."

"But they are too cowardly. If they don't have the courage to fight, there is no way to train them," the soldier said frustratedly.

Hearing their conversation, a young man hesitantly raised his head and said, "C-comrade, we are not cowards… We are just not used to it." _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

The soldiers looked at them in disbelief. The men were slightly better—they had only closed their eyes and run away.

The real problem was the women. The moment they saw a zombie, they screamed instead of attacking. Fortunately, they weren't on the main road, or their screams would have attracted more zombies, dooming them all.

After hesitating for a moment, one of the soldiers said, "We will try one more time. If you still can't kill a zombie, we will take you back to the gas station. Whether or not you get food or water after that isn't our concern."

Hearing his words, the survivors finally realized the truth—if they didn't kill zombies, they wouldn't get crystals, which meant they would starve.

Seeing the shift in their expressions, another soldier said, "I will go pull a zombie over. Get ready."

After he left, the group pushed themselves up and gripped their wooden sticks tightly. Not long after, they heard a zombie's roar in the distance.

When they saw the soldier returning, they looked behind him and spotted a female zombie chasing after him—its intestines hanging out, swaying with each step.

The women's mouths opened, ready to scream, but before they could, the soldier snapped, "If you dare to scream and attract more zombies, I will leave you behind to feed them."

At his warning, they clamped their hands over their mouths, letting out only muffled whimpers. They didn't dare make a sound and could only stare at the zombie in horror.

By the time the soldier reached them, there was still some distance between them and the zombie. Just from this, they should have been able to gauge its speed.
