Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 640

Chapter 640: Distant Relatives ( 3 )
Startled by the situation, everyone hiding inside the underground cellar stared at the entrance with horror and wariness.

They had always thought that with such a thick metal door, no one would be able to break it open without the key. Unexpectedly, this group of people not only survived after facing so many zombies, but they were also able to melt the metal door in just a few seconds.

When they saw the sharp gazes of the Phantom team’s members, they could not help but shudder in fear. Even though their clothes were clean, from their auras alone, they knew that these people must have taken human life before.

After a moment of silence, Qin Luzi finally said, “The zombies in this area have been cleared out. All of you can go out now.”

Since they could not win against them, the old man turned to his family and said, “Let us see what they want.”

Hearing this, everyone could only nod and follow him out.

After leaving the underground cellar, they went to the yard and saw a group of people compressing the zombie corpses and packing them inside metal cubes.

Seeing this, Li Quan leaned closer to his father and said, “Dad, what do you think they want to do with the zombie corpses?”

Li Renzhi glanced at his eldest son and replied in a low voice, “No matter what they want to do with the zombie corpses, it has nothing to do with us. Keep your curiosity and stay put.”

Although he was unhappy with his father’s attitude, Li Quan did not dare to go against these people directly. So, he could only stand behind his father and observe for now.

Not knowing that this family was overthinking things, Jin Xuyan went to find Pei Yixie to let her check these people’s thoughts. As for Qin Luzi and Wen Mo, they had already joined the rest of the members to clean the area.

At this moment, Li Renzhi and his family were standing at the entrance of the house and could only wait. They watched the members work until Li Shi saw a familiar figure in the distance.

He narrowed his eyes to take a better look. When he finally recognized the person, he pulled at his wife’s arm and exclaimed excitedly, “Wife, look at that young man.”

Bai Yanlin was pulled suddenly by her husband, and she was surprised. She glared at her husband and said, “Can you stop behaving so childishly?”

Being scolded by his wife, Li Shi was not angry. He pointed at the Phantom team and said, “Look closely. Is that not Sikai?”

Hearing this, Bai Yanlin squinted her eyes and looked for a long time before she said, “He indeed looks familiar. But are you sure he is your cousin’s son? The last time we met them was ten years ago.”

“Although he has matured and no longer looks as youthful as before, he has not changed much. I can still recognize him,” Li Shi nodded.

Thinking about how strong these people were, Bai Yanlin whispered, “Husband, since he is our relative, how about you go and greet him? Maybe he will be able to help us out.”

When he heard this, Li Shi hesitated for a moment. Although he still remembered Li Sikai, it was not guaranteed that his nephew would recognize him. After all, they were distant relatives.

Noticing his hesitation, Bai Yanlin urged him, “Stop dawdling. What kind of situation are we in now? Is your face more important than your life?”

The moment he heard his wife’s words, Li Shi’s hesitation disappeared instantly. Now was the apocalypse, and they should use any advantage they had. As long as they could preserve their lives, losing face was nothing.

Reaching this conclusion, he finally made up his mind and walked toward Li Sikai.

Seeing this, everyone was taken aback except his wife. Li Renzhi reached out, wanting to stop him. But before he could say a word, Bai Yanlin said, “Dad, do not worry. My husband only went to greet his nephew.”

Hearing this, Li Quan frowned and asked, “What nephew?”

“It is your cousin’s son, Li Sikai.”

It took him a while to remember who this Li Sikai was. When he recalled the teenager who came to visit them with his cousin back then, he finally remembered that he had these distant relatives.

Before the apocalypse, their second branch had prospered due to Li Renzhi’s effort. They not only owned several vineyards across the country and abroad, but they also owned a company that sold their family’s wines.

Due to the difference in their social circle, they no longer kept in contact with the first branch. It was not until ten years ago that his eldest uncle’s third son came to borrow money.

Back then, he was too lazy to bother with him and sent him off with twenty thousand yuan. Although the amount was not much, it was several months of an ordinary person’s salary.

Recalling this matter, his eyes flashed with calculation. Although his cousin had already returned the money, he still owed them a debt of gratitude.

If he could use this to ask for a favor from his nephew, they would not have to worry about lacking food or water. What was more, they might even be able to follow his nephew and find a safe place to live a good life.

While he was lost in his own imagination, Li Shi had already stood before Li Sikai. Seeing a face similar to his cousin’s, he felt embarrassed. But thinking about his old father, he clenched his fists and called out, “Sikai, is that you?”

Hearing someone calling his name, Li Sikai straightened his waist and turned around. Looking at Li Shi, he asked, “Who are you? How did you know my name?”

Even if he had expected his nephew not to recognize him, Li Shi still felt awkward when facing his indifferent attitude. Recalling his wife’s words, he thickened his skin and replied, “Sikai, I am your father’s cousin, Li Shi. You should call me Fourth Uncle.”
