Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276: A Test ( 4 )

After a long silence, Jin Xuyan said, “In today’s meeting, my team wants to know what everyone’s plan is regarding the zombie horde.”

As soon as he said this, the General asked, “Captain Jin, do you have a plan?”

“My plan is simple. After this meeting, my team and I will head to the border to clear out the zombies, while the Eagle Team and the soldiers evacuate the survivors as soon as possible,” Jin Xuyan replied calmly.

Hearing this, the leaders exchanged glances. One of them asked, “Do you have the confidence to complete this mission successfully?”

At that, Jin Xuyan let out a quiet chuckle before he said, “I think there’s been a misunderstanding.”

Everyone looked at him in confusion but stayed silent.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, he added, “My team and I are no longer soldiers. We have no obligation to protect anyone. We are not doing this as part of any mission.”

“Let me be clear, my team is now a mercenary team. We act for profit. With a horde that large, the number of crystal cores we can harvest makes the effort worthwhile.”

After he finished, one of the Colonels frowned and said, “Captain Jin, even if you have submitted a resignation letter, you still need authorization before you can retire from the military.”

“Without approval from the Capital, you and your team are technically still active-duty soldiers. Protecting the country and the people is your duty.”

Most of the others nodded in agreement after hearing his words.

But Qin Luzi scoffed at the remark and said, “Old man, do you really think we still call you ‘Colonel’ because we still think of ourselves as soldiers? We are just giving you face. In this situation, I would like to see who has the power to stop us from retiring.”

As he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist.

Wush! Crack! Boom!

In less than a second, a wind blade flew past the Colonel’s head and slammed into the wall behind him, leaving a deep, jagged crack as debris fell to the floor.

Everyone was stunned. The Colonel’s face went pale. He hadn’t even seen the attack, he only knew he had just brushed past death. Feeling a sharp sting on his cheek, he reached up and touched it. His fingers came away sticky with blood.

“You… Are you trying to kill your supervisor?” he stammered in disbelief.

“I’m just showing you the truth,” Qin Luzi said calmly. “With my ability, I could kill everyone in this room with a flick of my fingers.”

Looking around the room, he continued, “We are living in an apocalypse now. The laws of the old world no longer apply. With so many powerful ability-users appearing, do you really think the government can control everyone?”

“Instead of clinging to the past, you would be better off adapting to the present. You need to find a way to manage this chaos.”
