Chapter 187 - 187: Returning the Way We Came

Man Yu reached out and held Fu Shinan, smiling as she said, “Go to sleep quickly. If you can’t sleep well, your CEO Ji will worry again! He did say for me to take care of you.”

“You better shut up,” Fu Shinan replied, not in the mood for these conversations. Just thinking about crossing the mountain path tomorrow made her feel a bit anxious, as if something was about to happen.

At this moment, Ji Zan was also wide awake, his mind in turmoil. He remembered the vision he had seen earlier at the Long Sky Tribe! It was also in a forest. What if he had foreseen something happening in the forest and not at the Changkong Tribe? After all, the surroundings now were nothing but trees. If Fu Shinan really encountered what he had seen in the vision, he would rather turn back immediately!

He forced himself to concentrate, trying to foresee future events.

Hoping that this time, he could see a bit more! He closed his eyes, and what he saw was still the image of Fu Shinan tied to a tree. But this time, there was a difference. He saw what had bound Fu Shinan to the tree—a snake, almost as thick as his leg!

Ji Zan abruptly opened his eyes.

All around him was silence.

No trees, no snake, and Fu Shinan wasn’t captured…

But he still felt a sense of suffocation. He forcefully suppressed the discomfort in his heart and closed his eyes again, this time thinking that he should rest.

The night was peaceful, and no one was disturbed by zombies. Perhaps it had something to do with the nearby mountains. In any case, everyone had a good night’s sleep.

Ji Zan tidied up and walked out, his eyes searching for Fu Shinan. He saw her squatting on the ground, looking at Xiao Chang’an and Nana with a smile. At this moment, she seemed like a child herself, clean and pure. This made his previously tense brows relax a bit.

Coincidentally, Fu Shinan suddenly raised her head and saw Ji Zan coming out. She greeted him with a smile, “Good morning!”

“Morning!” Ji Zan smiled back at her and walked over. “What are you looking

Fu Shinan pointed at the two children, “They’re playing Gomoku on the ground.

It’s quite interesting to watch. Kids always come up with creative ideas.” Xiao Chang’an looked proud, “Uncle taught me this. Uncle is very talented.”

Fu Shinan gently rubbed Xiao Chang’an’s face, “Yes, your uncle is the most talented!” Then she looked at Ji Zan, “When are we setting off?”

Ji Zan, with the vivid image of Fu Shinan trapped by the python in his mind, immediately shook his head, “We’re not going into the mountains. We’ll take a different route!”

Fu Shinan’s face changed slightly, “Change the route at this point? Where else is there to go?”

Ji Zan looked at her and said, “I thought about it last night. There are too many unknown dangers in the mountains! Those mutated animals, we can’t defend against them at all! We have elderly people and children with us. If something happens, we won’t have time to escape. Going back and taking a different route is the safest option.”

Fu Shinan furrowed her brow, “But in that case, it’s a waste of time, and our food supply is running low. It’ll be difficult to endure another journey… I don’t recommend going back and retracing our steps.”

But this time, Ji Zan had no room for negotiation, “It’s still less dangerous than going into the mountains!”

Fu Shinan was puzzled, “What’s gotten into you? We’ve been experiencing danger all along. How can you be so sure that going back will be safer?”

“But the dangers of going into the mountains are already known, and the route we came from is very safe,” Ji Zan replied before going to have breakfast.

Man Yu approached Fu Shinan and nudged her, “What’s going on? Are you two having an argument?”

Fu Shinan couldn’t be bothered to correct her and said directly, “Ji Zan wants to go back the way we came!”

Man Yu looked surprised, “Why? We don’t have much food left, and we can’t find any supplies if we continue on the original path. We won’t be able to hold out for long. Besides, didn’t we agree yesterday to use his wind ability to cross the mountains quickly?”

Fu Shinan shook her head, “I don’t know, but he’s very determined.”

After finishing his porridge, Ji Zan announced to everyone, “I went on several trips yesterday, and I mostly encountered mutated animals. For safety reasons, I’ve decided to return the way we came and take a different path to Sui City.”

Professor Feng looked puzzled, “We’ve come this far, going back doesn’t seem appropriate, does it? With the remaining food, we can eat for at most two days…”

Xia Dong also added, “Yeah, Brother Ji your wind ability can be used by the group. As long as we keep moving, we should be able to cross safely. But if we go back….”
