Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 145: Forming Group ( 1 )

The next warehouse contained emergency and safety essentials such as first-aid kits, bandages, splints, gauze, antibiotic ointments, flashlights, emergency candles, oil lamps, tents, matches, batteries, fire extinguishers, tarps, emergency blankets, and solar-powered phone chargers.

The last two warehouses held different supplies. One stored toiletries like toilet paper, sanitizers, and trash bags. Alongside them were rain gear, sunscreen, sleeping bags, and insect repellents.

The final warehouse contained water-related equipment such as purifiers, heaters, and storage tanks.

By the time they finished collecting everything, the sun was already high in the sky. Jin Xuyan checked his watch and said, "Let's go to the solar panel factory."

While the Phantom Team was busy hoarding supplies, the Eagle Team was having a headache.

After they left the factory district, they went directly to the border area where the temporary survivors' camp was located. Based on their experiences coming out for supplies, it would take them at least 40 hours and at most 60 hours to reach the camp.

He had made a plan to escort Pei Yijun and his team to Jiangning City as soon as he sent the survivors to the camp. Unexpectedly, his plan was ruined by the survivors.

At this moment, they were resting at a gas station since they needed to refill the gas. Checking his watch, Wei Ying frowned and let out a sigh. They had been traveling for almost 30 hours, yet they had not even covered one-third of the journey to the camp.

He glanced at the survivors, who were having lunch with smiles on their faces. The atmosphere was relaxed, as if they were on a trip and not escaping for their lives.

Standing beside him, Pei Yijun asked, "Captain Wei, do you have any plans for those people?"

Wei Ying glanced at him and asked in return, "Young Master Pei, do you have any suggestions?"

"I think it's better to let them start killing zombies so they can learn how to protect themselves. If your team continues to protect them like this, not only will they become a burden, but they might also bring trouble in the future," Pei Yijun replied.

Wei Ying thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Pei, what you said is right. But it won't be easy to train the civilians and ask them to follow the rules."

Pei Yijun looked at Wei Ying and asked, "Captain Wei, what do you think is the most important thing in the apocalypse?"

"Besides medicine, it should be food and water."

Pei Yijun nodded and said, "If you stop giving them free food and water and use them as a reward for killing a zombie instead, I believe some people will do it. With several examples, more people will join."

Raising his eyebrows, Wei Ying thought for a while and said, "Using sticks and candies tactic is indeed a good solution. Thank you for your suggestion."

When he finished speaking, he walked over to the survivors and said, "Everyone, form a group of five people and wait for further orders."

Hearing his words, the survivors looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, one of them asked, "Captain Wei, why are you asking us to form a group?"

Seeing that no one took his words seriously, Wei Ying thought about Pei Yijun's words and the information given by the Phantom Team as he said, "Due to limited supplies, we won't be providing food or water anymore."

"Those who want food or water must exchange it with a crystal core. You can use one crystal core to exchange for a bottle of mineral water and a pack of biscuits."

The moment the survivors heard his words, they were shocked and looked at him as if he were a sinner.

The Eagle Team members, Rong Mo'er, Gu Shaoze, Pei Yijun's team, and the ex-members of the Phantom Team all saw their reactions.

Thinking about how these survivors demanded things from them as if they were entitled to their protection and supplies, they walked over and stood behind Wei Ying.

Seeing this, the survivors' eyes flashed with worry and fear. They didn't want to be left behind after enjoying the soldiers' protection and having full bellies. But they also didn't dare to fight against the zombies.

Now that they were told they would no longer get food or water, they were feeling angry.

Aunt Wang stood up with her hands on her hips and said, "Comrade, I see there are still several trucks of food and water. How can you lie with your eyes open and say there aren't enough supplies? Are you treating everyone as blind fools?"

"This aunt is right. Comrade, those supplies came from the factories. As factory workers, we should have our share. You can't just cut off our supplies and tell us to kill those monsters. You are the soldiers—it's your duty to kill those monsters and protect us, the civilians," an old man added with a frown.

Following their example, more and more people started to complain, speaking with righteousness as if they were the victims and Wei Ying was the bad guy.

Wei Ying took note of their expressions and words. He waited until everyone finished talking before he said, "There are thousands of people waiting for these supplies back at the camp. If we let you eat and drink to your heart's content, then what about those people?"

The survivors thought that what happened to those people was none of their concern, but no one dared to voice their thoughts aloud. So, at this moment, the area fell silent.

Noticing their reluctance to fight the zombies, Wei Ying continued, "If you feel that it's unfair to you, you can choose to leave. We will give you some supplies and water, and then you can go on your way. By then, you don't have to listen to us and you can eat to your heart's content."

"Comrade, are you chasing us away?" one of them asked after hearing his words.
