Chapter 74 Proposal
After leaving the camp gate, Jiang Xianchuan followed the zombie all the way. When they walked about a thousand meters, the zombie suddenly stopped.
He turned his head slowly, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xianchuan, and said softly, "Brother, close your eyes first." Although Jiang Xianchuan was a little confused, he still followed his instructions and slowly closed his eyes.
Then, he heard a series of light and rapid footsteps coming from far away, and soon, a pair of icy cold hands gently grasped his palm. "Brother, just close your eyes and follow me." The zombie said softly.
Just like that, Jiang Xianchuan was pulled by the pair of cold hands, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Time seemed to have stopped, and he had no idea how long he had been walking. However, Jiang Xianchuan was not idle, but tried his best to leave some tiny traces while walking.
I don't know how long it took, but finally, I heard the familiar voice of the zombie: "It's our turn, brother. You can open your eyes now." Jiang Xianchuan immediately opened his eyes when he heard the voice. When he saw the scene clearly, he was slightly stunned.
The zombie standing in front of him was tall and straight, with skin as white as snow without a trace of blood, looking extremely weird. However, surprisingly, despite being a zombie, it had an extremely handsome face. At this moment, there was a half-smile on that face as it stared at him quietly.
"Brother, this is the first time you've seen my true face. Don't you want to take a closer look?" The zombie asked with a slightly teasing smile on his face.
Jiang Xianchuan pretended not to hear what it said. He just quickly looked around and took in the environment he was in. It turned out that they were in a spacious and bright living room. Looking down through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw that the downstairs was densely packed with all kinds of zombies. They wandered aimlessly, making low roars from time to time, which made people shudder.
"What is your purpose in bringing me here?" Jiang Xianchuan frowned and questioned the person in front of him with a sharp gaze.
He smiled slightly and said softly, "Is wanting to stay with you a good enough reason?" However, facing such an answer, Jiang Xianchuan was obviously not satisfied. He continued, "Don't play tricks on me." But the other party did not seem to intend to respond to his question directly, but just looked at him with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn't help but feel a headache. At this time, he spoke again: "Brother, don't ask these questions anymore. Let's enjoy the time we have together. Besides, you deliberately left traces along the way. I believe it won't be long before your friends find the clues and find this place."
After hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan felt his whole body go cold, thinking to himself: So he already knew my plan, but if that's the case, why didn't he stop it? Thinking of this, he was about to ask again, but was interrupted by the other party.
"Brother, don't be so nervous. I just said it casually." After saying that, he blinked mischievously.
Jiang Xianchuan was immediately furious, and just as he was about to explode, he saw the man suddenly introduce himself: "Brother, I forgot to tell you, my name is Qi'an." Then, Qi'an turned his gaze to the group of zombies with bared fangs and claws and ferocious faces downstairs, and asked: "Brother, do you hate these zombies?"
Jiang Xianchuan replied unhappily: "Do you even need to ask this?" Before he finished speaking, Qi'an's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an unfathomable smile. The next second, a shocking scene happened. The zombies downstairs that were originally alive and kicking suddenly lost their vitality and fell to the ground one after another.
Jiang Xianchuan, who witnessed all this, simply couldn't believe his eyes. He stared at Qi'an with wide eyes and shock, thinking to himself: This guy in front of me, who looks like an ordinary person, not only has the terrifying ability to possess humans, but can also easily destroy many zombies in one fell swoop. This is too outrageous!
"Brother, am I really that great?" Qi An blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Xianchuan expectantly, looking just like a child waiting for praise from an adult. However, Jiang Xianchuan stared at her suspiciously and asked coldly, "What do you want to do?"
Qi'an smiled mischievously and kept the question in suspense: "Oh, since you are so eager to know, I will tell you. I know you are a reborn person. Aren't you curious why there are superpowers and those mutated zombies in this life?" As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xianchuan's face turned pale. He stared at Qi'an in disbelief, his heart full of shock and confusion.
Qi An seemed to have anticipated Jiang Xianchuan's reaction. She continued smugly, "Don't be nervous, brother. I know everything about you. It doesn't matter even if you refuse to admit it. But I asked you to come here this time because I simply wanted to discuss business with you."
"What business?" Jiang Xianchuan frowned and asked vigilantly.
Qi An took a deep breath and then said seriously, "Now there is a group of people who specialize in stripping others of their superpowers and hunting zombies. It would be difficult for us to deal with them with our own strength alone. That's why I thought of looking for my brother to cooperate with us. How about we join forces to fight against these superpower predators?"
After hearing what Qi'an said, Jiang Xianchuan's eyes became even colder. He refused without hesitation, "Why should I cooperate with you? Don't forget, you are a zombie."
Qi An was not angry at Jiang Xianchuan's refusal. Instead, he patiently explained, "Brother, although I am indeed a zombie, compared to those cruel and vicious supernatural predators, I have never hurt you so far. Moreover, if we allow them to continue to do evil, not only will we be in danger, but the whole world will fall into a greater crisis. Can you really bear to sit back and watch?"
Jiang Xianchuan frowned tightly, pursed his lips, and fell into deep thought. His eyes were wandering, as if he was rapidly analyzing and weighing every word Qi An had just said in his mind. As time passed, the air around him seemed to solidify.
Finally, after a few long and tense minutes, Jiang Xianchuan's tense mouth moved slightly, then slowly opened and said: "This matter... I really can't agree to your proposal right away. After all, this is not a trivial matter. I need to think about it carefully again."
After hearing Jiang Xianchuan's answer, Qi An did not show any disappointment or dissatisfaction. Instead, he still had a faint smile on his face and replied softly, "Okay, I will patiently wait for my brother's final answer."
At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head abruptly, stared at Qi An with sharp eyes, and questioned: "That's not right! Since there are so many zombies, you can definitely gather them all to fight the enemy with your ability, but why do you want to cooperate with me?"
Facing Jiang Xianchuan's sudden question, Qi An was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure. He took a deep breath and explained slowly, "In fact, not all zombies can be controlled by me. Some of them have their own independent consciousness like me. For these zombies, I currently have no way to effectively control them. As for the remaining ordinary zombies, if they fall into the hands of people with superpowers, they will be vulnerable and can't play a big role. So considering various factors, it is the wisest choice to seek cooperation with you."
