Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 116: Dividing Supplies

Qin Luzi pointed at the man with a green dot and said, "He is fine. Bring him into the camp and make sure to keep his temperature in check. Tie up the other one and keep watch."

"Understood."

Leaving those orders behind, Qin Luzi went to find Zhang Yuan.

At that moment, Zhang Yuan was speaking with Wei Ying over the satellite phone. When he saw Qin Luzi approaching, he gestured for him to wait.

"Captain Wei, we understand your situation, but it's impossible for my team to escort the survivors to the survival camp," Zhang Yuan stated firmly.

On the other end of the line, Wei Ying sighed and said, "Old Zhang, you know my team has limited vehicles. There's no way we can transport so many people. Not to mention, we barely have enough supplies for our own team."

Zhang Yuan remained silent for a moment before replying, "Captain Wei, I can promise you that my team will provide enough supplies for both the survivors and your team. But you will have to find your own vehicles."

"With so many abandoned cars around, I don't believe you won't be able to find a few buses or trucks in working condition," he added.

Wei Ying immediately understood his meaning. It was impossible to ask the Phantom team to accompany them back to the survivors' camp.

Letting out another sigh, he asked, "Old Zhang, are you and your men really not coming back?"

"Captain Wei, we have already done our best to complete the rescue mission. We lost too many brothers. We can't just abandon their families—we have to go save them. That was our promise to our fallen brothers."

"I hope you understand and help convey our decision to the commanders," Zhang Yuan said, his voice unwavering.

Realizing there was no room for negotiation, Wei Ying relented and asked, "I understand. How many people are with you now?"

"Besides the mission target and his friends, we have about 250 civilians. Some of them have awakened abilities and might be useful to you," Zhang Yuan replied.

Hearing that the number wasn't too large, Wei Ying felt some relief and asked another question, "How much supplies do you have?"

Zhang Yuan knew he couldn't afford to be stingy if he wanted the Eagle team to escort the civilians and said, "Right now, we have enough to last your team and the survivors for a month."

"We are currently clearing out zombies in the factory district while gathering more supplies. When you arrive, we can discuss the distribution."

For the first time during the call, a faint smile appeared on Wei Ying's usually stern face. His tone softened as he said, "Alright, my team is almost there. We will meet in an hour."

"Okay."

After ending the call, Zhang Yuan shook his head and muttered, "What a cunning old fox."

Turning his gaze to Qin Luzi, he asked, "Old Qin, what's wrong?"

"Vice Captain, one of the new survivors has awakened an ability, another has a high chance of turning into a zombie, and one has already mutated. We already took care of the mutated one."

Despite the short report, a heaviness settled in Zhang Yuan's chest. But he didn't let his emotions cloud his judgment. He nodded and said, "Well done."

"Call Yin Yusheng, Feng Yun, and Xiao Qi over," he added.

"Understood," Qin Luzi replied before going to call his brothers.

Not long after, Yin Yusheng, Xiao Qi, and Feng Yun arrived. The soldiers saluted Zhang Yuan, and Feng Yun hesitantly copied them, though his movements were stiff and awkward. He wasn't a soldier, and the gesture felt unnatural to him.

Noticing his discomfort, Zhang Yuan chuckled and said, "Feng Yun, you don't have to follow them. Just act as you normally would."

Feng Yun nodded but still kept his back straight, "Yes, Vice Captain."

Seeing his insistence, Zhang Yuan didn't press the matter. Instead, he shifted back to the task at hand.

"The Eagle team will arrive in an hour. I need the three of you to take inventory and prepare two months' worth of supplies for 500 people."

Yin Yusheng frowned when he heard his order and said, "Vice Captain, if we give them that much, we will only have enough for a week or two."

"Captain has already ordered us to prepare two months' worth of supplies for them. Since they are taking the survivors, it's only right for us to support them," Zhang Yuan said.

Noticing their concern, he added, "Don't worry. Our captain has a plan. You can go now."

Since the captain and vice-captain had made their decision, they could only follow the order. The three of them headed to one of the armored vehicles.

Inside, Yin Yusheng wrote down the types and quantities of supplies while Xiao Qi and Feng Yun checked their space storage, reporting back on what they had.

The soldiers weren't worried about Feng Yun secretly taking some of the supplies for himself. Even if he did, there was nothing they could do about it.

They had already accepted that as the price of using his space. Once they reached their next destination, they would part ways. But if he was honest, they would treat him as one of their own and let him stay in the team.

It took them fifty minutes to complete the inventory. After reviewing the numbers, Yin Yusheng smiled. Feng Yun hadn't hidden anything—he had reported everything down to the last detail.

He has integrity and honesty and is a good fit as a member of their team. No wonder their captain agreed to let him join their team even though he was a civilian.

After they discussed it for a while, they made a list of supplies to give to the Eagle Team and went to report to Zhang Yuan.

Reading the list, Zhang Yuan nodded and added, "We have Qianfeng and Sister-in-law, so we don't need so much water. Add more mineral water for them."
