Chapter 115 - 115: The Strange Sky
Despite being fully covered, Fu Shinan recognized the newcomer immediately—it was Ji Zan.
“How did you know I was here?” she asked.
“How did you sleep last night?” they both spoke almost simultaneously and then said at the same time.
“Very well. ”
“I guessed.”
Fu Shinan fell silent and decided not to speak anymore. The atmosphere grew slightly awkward. She finally said, “Actually, you didn’t need to come specially. Everything is fine on my end. It’s early in the morning; you should go on with your busy schedule.”
“Why do you have to be so strong-willed?” Ji Zan furrowed his brow. “Our base is quite spacious and can accommodate all of you.”
At Ji Zan’s words, Fu Shinan looked impatient and gave a sarcastic smile. “I thought we had an understanding yesterday. Are you seriously asking again? I don’t want to live with someone who wants to kill me. Is that hard to understand? You have a responsibility to Bai Lianhua, but I don’t. I don’t want to go to sleep one night and have my throat slit. I don’t want to be stressed every day. Survival in this post-apocalyptic world is already tiring. In my free time, I just want to rest and live well. Is that clear enough for you?”
Ji Zan fell silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, “I will find another team for her, and the previous proposal won’t be void. I…”
Fu Shinan gave a wry smile and cut him off, “Alright, I got it.” She didn’t want to say anything more and turned to leave.
“Fu Shinan!” Ji Zan stopped her, speaking solemnly. “Ye Chun has escaped, and she’s with another person with abilities. As long as we don’t find her, you’re in danger every day! Moreover, An Town is so large, there may be many hidden teams. Three young girls outside, I really cant rest easy.”
Fu Shinan was getting a bit impatient. She didn’t want to let these people and these matters affect her mood any further. “We were just former team members. There’s nothing to worry about! Even if Ye Chun and the others are gone, there are still zombies. Survival in the post-apocalyptic world is what it is.”
However, Ji Zan’s gaze was unwavering. “To me, you’ve always been special. You’re different from others.”
Fu Shinan was taken aback by this direct gaze, and she turned her face away awkwardly. “Don’t worry. If someone in your team falls ill, and I can treat them, I’ll still help.”
Ji Zan immediately clarified, “You know I didn’t mean it that way…”
Fu Shinan suddenly didn’t want to hear any more of what was being said below and cut him off, “It’s getting late, and we should have our meal. After that, we need to search for supplies. Everyone’s time is tight, and you should go back too.”
Ji Zan remained standing. “I haven’t eaten yet, and I’m really hungry now. Can I have a meal with you guys?”
“No, you can’t,” Fu Shinan bluntly refused. “Both of our girls here dislike men, and we don’t have much food. You better go back to eat.” With that, she went inside and closed the door.
Ji Zan received a cold shoulder and felt somewhat embarrassed. In the past, no matter which identity he assumed, he was always admired by others. But in Fu Shinan’s eyes, he found himself worthless. Regardless, he would protect her because she held a different significance for him. He then turned and got back into his car.
Inside the house, Shui Ling’er had already turned on the lights and started cooking.
Wei Xinyi was busy wiping down the room, and the basement had become much cleaner and tidier compared to before.
After having a meal of fried rice, the three of them got into the campervan.
Before they left, Fu Shinan also found two sticks to serve as weapons for Wei Xinyi and Shui Ling’er. It was their first time going out to search for supplies, and they felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.
Since the city center had already been thoroughly searched, Fu Shinan took the two of them to slightly more remote areas. Once they got out of the car, they began searching around.
Knowing that Wei Xinyi could communicate with animals due to her ability, Fu Shinan paid special attention to small animals. However, after searching extensively, they hadn’t even spotted an ant! This worried her because it was highly unusual. She hadn’t even come across mutated animals. She glanced at the sky and suddenly felt a jolt in her heart. She was about to say something when she heard Shui Ling’er shout with excitement, “Fu Sister, I found a sealed pack of mushroom and meat sauce!”
Wei Xinyi followed up, “Fu Sister, I found a can of canned vegetables…”
Seeing the two of them so excited, Fu Shinan couldn’t help but smile. However, before she could say anything, she heard a cold laugh from behind..
