Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Sign Of Mutation

Jin Xuyan listened without interrupting. Only after they had all spoken did he finally say, "Being injured by zombies doesn't always mean you will turn into one. There is a chance you might awaken an ability power."

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his palm, and in an instant, a whip of black flame ignited above it.

The soldiers' eyes widened in shock and amazement. Some wondered if exhaustion caused their eyes to play tricks on them. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Jin Xuyan clenched his fist, extinguishing the flame and continued, "When I was injured before, I developed a high fever. But when I woke up, I had the ability to summon fire."

One of the injured soldiers hesitated before asking, "Captain, do we really have hope?"

Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, "I have noticed that those who mutate usually show symptoms within two hours after being bitten. If you haven't turned by then, there is a chance you will awaken an ability instead. So far, the only sign of awakening ability that I know of is a high fever."

His gaze swept over them as he continued, "For the next two hours, each of you will be tied up and supervised by five men. If any of you show signs of turning into a zombie, I will personally send you off."

"But until the last second, I won't give up on you, and you are not allowed to give up either. This is an order!" he added sternly.

The soldiers' morale, once at its lowest, lifted instantly. As long as there was hope, they refused to surrender to despair.

Seeing the renewed determination in their eyes, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Zhang Yuan, tie them up and assign five men to watch over them. The rest of you, take a ten-minute break and clean up the area."

"Yes, Captain!"

After issuing his orders, Jin Xuyan turned and walked toward the mini-market near the rest area. He unsheathed his longsword before pushing the door open.

The moment the door was opened, a zombie lunged at him.

Before its sharp claws could touch his body, he swung his longsword in a clean arc. A second later, the zombie's head rolled to the ground, and its body collapsed with a dull thud.

After killing the zombie, Jin Xuyan pulled a flashlight from his pocket and illuminated the dark room.

As he walked down the aisle, he noticed that aside from a thin layer of dust, the only footprints on the floor were the messy, dragging tracks left by the zombie he had just killed.

Once he finished checking the storefront, he moved to the counter and spotted a door behind it. This time, he approached cautiously, pressing his ear against the door to listen for any sounds.

He waited for five minutes and didn't hear any sound coming from inside. Afterward, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.

The beam of his flashlight swept through the room, revealing something unexpected. The room was actually the warehouse. Though it was only about 100 square meters in size, the supplies inside were abundant and varied.
