Qin Luzi looked into Zhang Yuan's eyes and said calmly, "We have done our best to help them by killing the zombies in the surrounding area. The rest will depend on them."
After he said this, Qin Luzi continued walking while saying, "8th room on the right, five zombies inside. 11th room on the left, eight zombies."
Zhang Yuan looked at his friend's back with a complicated gaze. Although he knew that what his friend said was true, he still couldn't bring himself to ignore the civilians' life and death.
While he was still debating whether to ask his captain to rescue them, Jiao Lizhi walked over and said, "Vice-captain, in the apocalypse, kindness is a luxury���and the price for this luxury might not be something you can afford."
After hearing her words, Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment before he let out a sigh and said, "I understand."
How could he forget about his brothers' sacrifices before?
Because they were trying to rescue a group of civilians, several of their brothers were wounded and killed during the process.
After they saved those people, the civilians stole their supplies and ran away. If not for them, they wouldn't be so hungry and wouldn't have lost more brothers in the fight at the gas station due to lack of strength and stamina.
Thinking about them, he hardened his heart and no longer had any thoughts of rescuing the civilians. The government would send people to rescue them after establishing a temporary survivor camp.
Seeing that he had thought it through, Jiao Lizhi heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. It was normal for Zhang Yuan to think of rescuing the civilians. What surprised her were Qin Luzi's words instead.
With that kind of mindset, it was no wonder he was able to survive until the fifth year of the apocalypse.
As for the rest of the soldiers, she didn't know what happened to them, since they were not in Jin Xuyan's team in her previous life.
This time, they took longer to clear the zombies because they needed to check the rooms one by one.
After two hours, Qin Luzi checked the map in his head and said, "Captain, there are no more zombies in this building."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Let's go to the next area."
"Yes, Captain!"
Ten minutes later, they came out of the building and saw three women squatting near the dormitory entrance.
The moment he saw them, Qin Luzi's eyes narrowed. His gaze stopped at Situ Bani for a moment before he lowered his eyelids.
Hearing their footsteps, Situ Bani raised her head. The next moment, she was stunned as her gaze locked onto Jin Xuyan. Seeing his handsome face, her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks heated up.
Seeing her blushing, Jiao Lizhi raised her eyebrows. She had seen many women show the same reaction whenever they saw Jin Xuyan in her previous life.
She always found it incredible that they could blush so easily just by looking at his face. She didn't find anything special about his face except that he looked better and taller than others.
Turning her head, she met Jin Xuyan's gaze and said, "She is looking at you."
"But I only have you in my eyes," Jin Xuyan replied without hesitation, as if he already knew what she wanted to say.
When the soldiers heard his words, some of them rolled their eyes, some coughed to hide their embarrassment at their captain's blatant flirting, while the rest laughed at his shameless words.
Jiao Lizhi was speechless at his reply and decided to shut up. She couldn't figure out how this person could say such cringy words without blushing at all!
Seeing that the handsome man ignored her and flirted with the girl beside him instead, Situ Bani twisted the hem of her clothes while staring at him with teary eyes.
Beside her, her roommates were also captivated by Jin Xuyan's face. But unlike Situ Bani, they regained their senses quickly. After all, that man clearly had a girlfriend already. It wasn't their virtue to ruin someone else's relationship.
Checking his watch, Jin Xuyan said, "Old Qin, lead the way. We only have two hours left."
Qin Luzi nodded and walked past Situ Bani and her roommates without giving them a glance.
Jin Xuyan was worried that his Ah Zhi would be jealous and ignore him, so he reached out and intertwined their fingers to show those women that he already had an owner.
As they walked past the women, he even leaned closer to her and said aggrievedly, "Ah Zhi, after we are done, can you help me check my body? I think I bumped into something just now—it's painful."
When Jiao Lizhi heard his words, she glanced at the women and saw one of them was staring at her as if she snatched away her husband.
'After Mo Binxue, now, there is another white lotus.' she thought inwardly.
She let out a sigh and replied, "Alright."
As soon as she agreed to his request, Jin Xuyan chuckled and kissed her cheek before saying, "My fiancée is the best."
This time, he didn't lower his voice, and everyone heard his words clearly.
The soldiers chuckled at their captain's PDA and followed him.
When they walked past Situ Bani, she finally regained her senses. Seeing that the soldiers were leaving, she reached out and grabbed one of the soldiers' arms while saying, "Please wait a moment!"
Being pulled so suddenly, Shen Jinzhe was caught off guard and almost fell. He turned his head and saw a pair of dirty hands holding onto his arm. His eyes turned cold, and his face darkened instantly.
He flung his arm and said, "Don't touch me."
Situ Bani was pushed back several steps due to the force and fell to the ground. She let out a yelp and raised her head to scold him. But the moment she did, she saw the man patting his clothes as he left while saying, "Tsk! It's dirty."
