Jiao Lizhi had no intention of staying with Pei Yijun's team—it was better to join the soldiers. After all, soldiers were the most trustworthy people in the apocalypse.
No matter their flaws, their sense of duty and responsibility was high. They did their best to protect others, often sacrificing their lives for it.
That was also why soldiers were among the first to be wiped out when the apocalypse began. By the time she died in her past life, there were no real soldiers left.
The so-called "soldiers" or "guards" she saw later were just ability users hired by the base. Their loyalty followed whoever paid them the most, and to them, ordinary people were nothing more than disposable trash.
Seeing Jiao Lizhi lost in thought, Chu Zhimiao had her answer. Even though Jiao Lizhi hadn't outright confirmed it, her reaction to being kissed said enough.
She and Captain Jin must be together. Otherwise, why didn't she slap him when she was kissed suddenly?
With that realization, Chu Zhimiao glanced at Pei Yijun and saw his dark expression. She sighed internally but didn't dare to say anything to comfort him. No one was at fault—love was all about timing.
Noticing that his team kept sneaking glances at him, Pei Yijun grew irritated. "Get ready. We are heading to the processed food factory."
Hearing his order, they didn't dare delay any longer and quickly prepared. Since they didn't have backpacks, they had to borrow sacks from the soldiers.
Ten minutes later, everything was set.
Jiao Lizhi walked to her car and drove toward the factory entrance. Seeing this, Jin Xuyan immediately ran after her while shouting, "Ah Zhi, wait for me!"
She parked by the gate and stepped out. Holding a boning knife, she raised her hand and slashed at the chain. With a loud clang, the lock broke, and she pushed the gate open.
Turning around, she looked at the soldiers and asked, "You guys weren't planning to walk, were you? The factory grounds are huge. If you go on foot, it will take days to collect all the supplies."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan chuckled and said, "Alright, we will drive the cars."
With his order, the soldiers climbed back into their vehicles and followed Jiao Lizhi inside.
As she drove, she glanced at Jin Xuyan sitting beside her and said, "Brother Yan, I want to check out the seed factory."
"Ah Zhi, can we go there after we finish with the other factories?" Jin Xuyan asked.
"I don't want to leave my soldiers alone. Some of them still have high fevers," he added with a frown.
Jiao Lizhi's eyes flickered when she heard that. She thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Yan, do any of you have awakened abilities?"
Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, "Right now, nine of us, including me, have awakened abilities. Six are still in comas. The rest don't have any abilities."
"How many people are in your team?" she asked.
At her question, Jin Xuyan lowered his gaze. After a brief silence, he answered, "Twenty-six."
