Li Xuanzu and his group did not choose to pass through Kyoto because Kyoto is one of the safest places in the world, so the area around Kyoto is under very strict security.
Even if it passes by then, the process of reporting and approval at each level will waste too much time.
Although there were troops stationed in Ji Province, they were few in number and the border defenses were not even properly laid out. This is why, despite the large number of humans in Ji Province, Li Xuanzu and his companions were still able to enter the province with great ease.
At this time, due to the appearance of the Butcher Zombie, part of the army in Ji Province had been transferred to Kyoto. As for the survivors, they could only pray that they would not be found by the Butcher Zombie.
After arriving in Ji Province, the Butcher Zombie had been searching for humans and had no intention of rushing to Kyoto, which is why Li Xuanzu and his companions were able to encounter him.
If the Butcher Zombie were to travel as desperately as that Tier 3 zombie in Laos, it's likely that Li Xuanzu wouldn't even need to come; the Kyoto side could have already killed the Butcher.
However, the losses were absolutely devastating.
As they were about to leave the village, it was already evening, and the group found a square to park and rest.
With so many zombies and those possessing psychic abilities, an open space provides ample time to react.
Li Xuanzu decided to take a nap.
He didn't really need a long rest; his body was strong enough. Generally speaking, Li Xuanzu would give up long periods of sleep for the sake of efficiency.
It makes no sense to him.
However, recent events have been quite stressful and tiring, and Li Xuanzu needs to get some sleep to rest.
He drank some alcohol before going to bed. It was a strong liquor that Leng An had prepared; just a small glass was enough to make him dizzy.
Shen Han took the first half of the night watch, while Leng An took the second half.
Li Xuanzu drifted off to sleep, the spiciness in his mouth fading into a slightly bitter aftertaste; he disliked drinking bitter wine.
He thought again of the night he had gotten completely drunk, and how the pond in the yard, because of the countless spills of alcohol, carried a faint fragrance.
He stumbled and fell into the water, and occasionally he would have a moment of clarity, but it was only for a moment.
These scenes kept replaying in my mind, and when I opened my eyes again, it was almost dawn.
It was just a dream.
He opened the car door and was surprised to see Shen Han leaning against the statue in the middle of the square.
"Wasn't it Leng An in the middle of the night? Didn't you call him?" Li Xuanzu walked over and asked.
"No, I couldn't sleep, so I didn't wake him." Li Xuanzu's voice wasn't loud when he got out of the car, but Shen Han's attention was focused on her surroundings, so she wasn't startled.
"Thinking about Leng An?" Li Xuanzu stared at her.
Shen Han had become quite familiar with Li Xuanzu these past few days, and nodded to indicate that what Li Xuanzu said was indeed true.
“Mr. Li, what should I do? I really love him so much, but he has never shown me anything, not even a glance.” The two were silent, and Shen Han spoke first.
"Forced sex, that's the simplest way." Li Xuanzu said it bluntly, but the reasoning was sound.
However, this is a bit difficult for Shen Han, a girl who is inexperienced in the ways of the world. Although she is already twenty-three years old, she has never been in a relationship.
Li Xuanzu was only in his early twenties.
"I...Isn't this inappropriate?" Shen Han's face flushed red instantly. Although she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen pigs run, and she understood what Li Xuanzu meant.
"Anyway, all I can tell you is that unless Leng An comes to his senses, your chances of meeting Xie Ke'er again will be even slimmer." At this moment, Li Xuanzu once again transformed into a relationship guru.
"Well, there's no chance then." Shen Han's voice was very soft, so soft that Li Xuanzu almost couldn't hear it.
However, she was actually prepared to take Li Xuanzu's advice.
"Um, Mr. Li, may I ask why you helped me?" Shen Han pondered for a moment before voicing the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"Well, you're a lot like an old friend of mine, but there are some differences. There are some regrets that I can't make up for in her. Just consider this a consolation for myself." Li Xuanzu lowered his eyelids, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber at this moment.
The atmosphere fell silent again, and Li Xuanzu spoke once more.
"It's dawn, wake Leng An up." Li Xuanzu, whose divine sense had been kept open, confirmed that Leng An was still asleep, so he went over and woke Leng An up first.
"Why is it morning already? Didn't anyone call me to keep watch in the middle of the night?" Leng An slapped his forehead, feeling somewhat guilty.
"Chen Han couldn't sleep, so she stayed up all night by herself. I just got up and thought I'd call you." Li Xuanzu gave a brief explanation and didn't say anything more.
Leng An looked at Shen Han somewhat embarrassed, and responded with a gentle smile.
After the three of them ate something, they were ready to set off.
