Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Learning Her Lesson ( 2 )
After she hung up the call, Du Beiye shoved the meat jerky into her mouth before she grabbed the unconscious man’s limbs and dragged them to the roadside. She threw them aside as if they were trash and tied them up with a rope.

Not long after, a series of footsteps was heard, and a group of guards arrived. Seeing her, they gave her a salute before they took the group away.

Everything happened in less than 15 minutes. During this time, Lu Jiaojiao could only stare at Du Beiye with admiration and envy. She also wanted to get stronger and be able to protect herself. But she was unlucky and failed to awaken her ability.

Noticing her stare, Du Beiye walked over and asked, “What’s your name?”

Coming back to her senses, Lu Jiaojiao replied, “My name is Lu Jiaojiao.”

She thought that this person would ask more questions. Unexpectedly, she made another call and said, “Brother Kai, I found a woman claiming to be your sister. Her name is Lu Jiaojiao.”

After a moment of silence, she nodded and added, “Okay, I will bring her back. Mhmm, no problem.”

Du Beiye hung up the call and looked at the woman in front of her. After a moment, she said, “Follow me.”

Lu Jiaojiao noticed the Phantom Team’s insignia pinned on the young woman’s collar. She licked her lips and said, “Thank you for saving me, Sister.”

Hearing this, Du Beiye gave her a glance and replied casually, “You’re welcome.”

After a moment of silence, Lu Jiaojiao asked again, “Sister, are you a member of the Phantom Team?”

“Mhmm.”

Despite facing her cold shoulder, Lu Jiaojiao was not discouraged at all. Her eyes lit up, and she was filled with excitement. Although her cousins were members of the Phantom Team, this was the first time she had any contact with other members.

“Sister, can I know your name?” she asked again.

Du Beiye was used to people chattering around her, so she didn’t pay attention to the questioning and replied, “Du Beiye.”

The moment Lu Jiaojiao heard her name, she was stunned. Besides the Captain, Jin Xuyan, and his fiancée, Jiao Lizhi, the person she admired the most was Du Beiye.

From the information she learned about her, she thought that this person must be tall, beautiful, and cool. Unexpectedly, she was not only young but also petite. She couldn’t imagine how this small body contained such strength.

Everyone knew that Du Beiye was a space-type ability-user. Normally, this type of ability-user would only serve in logistics and have no combat power. But she was an exception.

Not only was she stronger than ability-users at her level, but she could also even stand shoulder to shoulder with the other veteran members in terms of combat ability. This alone made her an idol in countless young women’s hearts.

Du Beiye noticed that Lu Jiaojiao’s gaze changed after she learned about her identity, but she didn’t pay attention to it. After all, she was just an ordinary person and wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

They walked for almost one hour before they reached the apartment area where the Wen family lived. When they reached the lobby, Wen Kai and Wen Chang were already waiting for them.

Seeing them, Wen Chang walked over with a dark face. He grabbed Lu Jiaojiao’s arm and turned her around a few times. After confirming that she was unharmed, he finally snapped.

“Lu Jiaojiao, do you even have a brain?! Don’t you know how dangerous it is outside? You didn’t even carry any weapon with you, and you dared to run away from home. If you think you didn’t suffer enough, you can go build the wall!”

This time, Lu Jiaojiao didn’t feel angry or humiliated when she heard her cousin’s scolding. After almost facing disaster, she finally learned her lesson and understood her family’s good intentions.

Lowering her head, she sobbed and said hoarsely, “Brother, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”

Wen Chang thought that she would rebuke him again like before. So when he saw her reaction this time, he was taken aback.

Thinking that she had been bullied, he pinched her chin and lifted her head. After checking her face and neck, he asked grimly, “Did they bully you?”

Shaking her head, Lu Jiaojiao replied, “Thanks to Sister Beiye’s help, they couldn’t do anything to me.”

Hearing how intimately she called her, Du Beiye raised her eyebrows but said nothing.

Wen Chang heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You should learn your lesson and change your bad habits.”

Reaching out, he patted her shoulder lightly and said, “Let’s go back first. Everyone is worried about you.”

Lu Jiaojiao nodded and thanked Du Beiye before she left with her cousin.

After they left, Wen Kai turned to his teammate and said, “Beiye, thank you for your help. I owe you this favor.”

Raising her head, Du Beiye met his gaze and replied, “Brother Kai, if you want to repay me, how about you catch some mutant animals for me? I don’t have much meat jerky left.”

Hearing this, Wen Kai laughed and agreed readily, “No problem. I will definitely send a big one to you.”

“Thanks,” Du Beiye said, then left.

Wen Kai didn’t return to the Phantom Team’s villa but went to the apartment he bought for the Wen family. When he opened the door, he heard his aunt’s cries and his mother’s scolding.

Sitting in the living room, Jia Liufei was so angry that her face was flushed and her breathing heavy. Seeing her like this, Wen Mo said, “Mom, calm down.”

“How can I calm down? Fortunately, this brat met with your teammate. Otherwise, who could guarantee that she would be able to survive this disaster?” Jia Liufei said while pointing at Lu Jiaojiao’s nose.

Unlike usual, Lu Jiaojiao sat there with her head lowered and didn’t even say a word to defend herself.

Seeing her like this, Wen Kai took a seat beside her and said, “Mom, Jiaojiao must be frightened. You can continue scolding her tomorrow. But for now, just let her calm down first.”
