Chapter 83 Reasons

Jiang Xianchuan was immersed in a sweet dream when he suddenly felt someone gently shaking his shoulder and heard a soft voice: "Brother, it's time to go." He opened his eyes dazedly and saw Qi'an's face close at hand. Jiang Xianchuan rubbed his eyes subconsciously to wake himself up, then nodded and said: "Well, let's go."

Slowly opening the door, the morning sun shines on him, bringing a touch of warmth. Jiang Xianchuan takes a deep breath, feels the fresh air, turns to look at Qi An and asks, "How should we go?" Qi An closes his eyes slightly, as if sensing something, and after a moment he opens his eyes and replies, "According to my perception, Li Lingyu is with Qi Xiaoyao and Shi Yi, and they are heading north now." Jiang Xianchuan says without hesitation, "Okay, let's go."

So, the group started their journey. Qi An walked in front to lead the way, and from time to time he would turn back to talk to Jiang Xianchuan, sharing some of his experiences on the road or reminding them to pay attention to the road under their feet. At the back of the team, Lin Pianyue held Ji Tiantian's hand tightly, and the two girls followed everyone forward, talking and laughing.

As they walked, Jiang Xianchuan's doubts grew stronger, and he finally couldn't help but ask Qi'an, "Qi'an, I still don't understand why you chose to cooperate with me?" Qi'an stopped, turned around and looked at Jiang Xianchuan, who was confused, and asked with a smile, "Brother, do you really want to know?" Seeing Jiang Xianchuan nodded firmly, Qi'an sighed softly, then lowered his voice and said to him, "Brother, actually... I am also a reborn person."

This short sentence exploded in Jiang Xianchuan's ears like a thunderbolt. He widened his eyes and stared at Qi'an in disbelief. Countless questions and speculations instantly emerged in his mind.

"Brother, let's talk while we walk." Qi'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then took a light step forward again. Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan hurriedly quickened his pace and walked to his side, walking side by side with him.

"Brother may not remember it very well, but you did help me once." Qi'an turned to look at Jiang Xianchuan as he walked, gratitude flashing in his eyes.

"I helped you? When did it happen?" Jiang Xianchuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes, it was on that day, April 17. At that time, because the food at home was exhausted, I had to risk going out to look for food. Unexpectedly, I was besieged by a group of terrifying zombies. Just when I felt desperate and helpless, you saved me."

"I'm sorry, I don't even have any recollection of this matter." Jiang Xianchuan looked apologetic and looked at Qi'an with guilt.

Qi An shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care: "It's okay, brother..."

"But...how did you become a zombie in this life?" Jiang Xianchuan frowned, full of curiosity.

"Strangely enough, one morning when I woke up from my sleep, I found some bite marks on my body. But fortunately, I did not completely turn into a zombie immediately, and I still retained some human consciousness and mobility. So, from then on, I have been looking for you everywhere, hoping to see you again." Qi An slowly narrated his experience.

After listening to this, Jiang Xianchuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see. It seems that with your strength, even if you don't cooperate with me, you are enough to deal with various dangerous situations. I know very well in my heart that you are already very powerful alone."

Hearing this, Qi An just smiled and did not answer. The two continued to walk forward in silence, each with their own thoughts, and the road under their feet seemed to become longer.

At noon, when the sun was high in the sky, Qi An finally stopped. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from Jiang Xianchuan's forehead and said, "Let's eat something and rest for a while." The others nodded in agreement, and then they started looking for a place to rest in the sun. After a while, they found a dense shade on the side of the road, so they walked over quickly and sat down on the ground.

At this time, Jiang Xianchuan waved his right hand, and immediately several breads and cartons of milk appeared. He immediately handed them to everyone. Everyone took the food and began to eat it voraciously.

After eating and drinking, Qi An closed his eyes slightly, concentrated his mind and sensed the situation around him again. After a while, he opened his eyes and said to Jiang Xianchuan: "Brother, according to my perception, we are not far away from them. If we speed up, we should be able to catch up with them today."

Jiang Xianchuan nodded and asked, "Where are Bai Su and Yi Yuzhi now?" Qi An shook his head and frowned, "I don't know why, I can't sense their presence at all. And since entering this area, I feel that it has become more and more difficult for me to control those zombies. Especially the further north we go, the more obvious this situation is."

While the two were talking, Ji Tiantian on the side suddenly said, "Brother and sister, I want to go to the toilet." Lin Pianyue smiled softly and asked softly, "Do you want your sister to accompany you?" Ji Tiantian quickly waved her hand and refused, "No, sister, you just have a good rest, I won't go far." Seeing that she was so sensible and well-behaved, Lin Pianyue nodded with relief and said, "Okay, go quickly and come back soon."

After getting permission, Ji Tiantian stood up and walked towards the grass not far away. However, what was strange was that as time passed, Ji Tiantian, who had said she would be back soon, was nowhere to be seen.

"Where on earth did Tiantian go? No, I have to go find her." Lin Pianyue muttered to herself as she quickly stood up from her seat. At this moment, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came into her ears: "Sister Pianyue! Brother Xiaochuan! Brother Qi'an! Come and save me!"

"That's Tiantian's voice!" Lin Pianyue reacted instantly, and said to her companions anxiously. Before she finished speaking, several people immediately took action without hesitation and began to search around for the direction where the crying sound came from.

Soon, they finally found the source of the sound. However, the scene in front of them made everyone gasp - a mysterious man wearing a strange mask was holding a sharp dagger, pressing it tightly against Ji Tiantian's throat.

"Tiantian!" Lin Pianyue shouted anxiously. Ji Tiantian's eyes were filled with tears. When she saw her companions rushing to rescue her, she cried excitedly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw in the dark: "Sister! Please save me quickly!"

Jiang Xianchuan, who had been standing aside, stared at the masked man intently, his eyes revealing an uncontrollable murderous intent. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Tell me, what do you have to do to let Tiantian go?"

The masked man raised his lips slightly, sneered, and replied calmly, "It's very simple. As long as you hand over your supernatural power to me, I will naturally let this little girl go."
