Chapter 91 - 91: Man’s words
Fu Shinan’s response brought a sense of warmth to Ji Zan’s heart, as if his concerns had been reassured. It seemed that his judgment was correct—Fu Shinan was indeed a good partner. She remained composed and rational in her actions. “Thank you for understanding,” Ji Zan said.
Just as Ji Zan was about to say something else, they heard someone shouting outside the main gate. They exchanged a glance and strained their ears to listen. Eventually, they realized that the person was calling for help, mentioning something about Lingqu Mountain.
Fu Shinan immediately recalled the encounter with the madman earlier, and Ji Zan had already started heading towards the gate. She followed quickly.
When they reached the gate, the person outside turned to look at them.
Disheveled and with unkempt hair, his face was difficult to discern. However, Fu Shinan inexplicably felt as though he was staring at her. His eyes were still sharp, as if he could see through everything right in front of him. Ji Zan opened the base gate and sternly asked, “What do you mean by this?”
The madman continued to dance around and repeat his words, ignoring Ji
Zan’s question. Finally, he laughed foolishly a couple of times and ran off
without looking back.
Fu Shinan couldn’t help but question Ji Zan, “What kind of place is Lingqu Mountain? I remember you said it couldn’t be found on the map. Do you know about it?”
Ji Zan’s gaze flickered, and he replied, “It’s difficult for ordinary people to locate its exact position. It’s quite mysterious… How did that person know about it…”
Raising an eyebrow, Fu Shinan asked, “Since you say that, it means you know, right? What exactly is there?”
At that moment, she began to doubt Ji Zan’s identity. How could a high-powered executive, who spent most of his time in an office, have so many secrets?
Ji Zan pondered for a moment and said, “There used to be a base there. If we can’t stay here for much longer, perhaps we can give it a try. Although Lingqu Mountain is technically a mountain, it’s actually located on a secluded island surrounded by water, making it difficult for zombies to reach. But if we want to go there, we need to plan carefully. Finding a boat is currently a challenge.”
“Indeed, considering the current situation in An Town, we won’t be able to stay for much longer. Several heavy rains have destroyed many supplies, and the zombies are constantly evolving. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for us to deal with them,” Fu Shinan added, remembering the ranch where Cao Yong used to stay. She then suggested, “You could take MO Cheng and Sun Han to Cao Yong’s farm. I have a feeling that he’s not dead, and wherever he chose to go, there must be a large supply of food.”
Ji Zan nodded approvingly. “We thought of the same thing. By the way, according to Sun Han and MO Cheng, their abilities have stabilized. And as for yours…” He smiled teasingly. “You finally admit that you can repair damaged structures. Perhaps you can even reinforce vehicles?”
Fu Shinan pursed her lips. She had long felt that she couldn’t hide her abilities from Ji Zan anymore. It seemed he had suspected it for a while. “My powers did awaken early. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid of being seen as a monster. But now that everyone has abilities, there’s no need to hide anymore. I wonder what kind of abilities Mr. Ji has? Today, you came just in time and knew the precise location. It’s hard to imagine without any powers.”
Ji Zan shrugged, his tone tinged with helplessness. “Unfortunately, I haven’t discovered any abilities in myself yet.’
Fu Shinan raised an eyebrow. “Now that everyone has stabilized, you don’t need to hide anything, right? If you don’t have any abilities, why were you so certain that we were in danger?”
Ji Zan lowered his gaze and casually said, “What if I say that I can only sense danger when it involves you? Not just once. Would you believe me?”
Looking at his piercing eyes, Fu Shinan suddenly felt hesitant to meet his gaze and quickly averted her eyes. Finally, she dryly replied, “I don’t believe you.”
Ji Zan chuckled lightly. “So, that means I don’t have any abilities, right? Let’s go back now. You all didn’t get much sleep last night, so tonight, I’ll take over the watch duty. Rest well.”
Fu Shinan lifted her head and saw that Ji Zan had already gone back. She chuckled self-deprecatingly. Could he sense her danger, not just once? Why didn’t she realise? Hmph, Men’s words, can’t be trusted indeed.
Returning to her room, it was no surprise that Fu Shinan was bombarded with more gossip from Man Yu. She responded with a few perfunctory remarks, then lay down and quickly fell asleep. At this point, she had no desire to hear any news about Ji Zan….
