With the possibility weighing on her mind, Fu Shinan couldn’t sit still any longer and finally knocked on Ji Zan’s door.

After a moment, the door opened, revealing Ji Zan’s tall figure. He had clearly just finished showering, as his hair was still dripping with water. He had a white towel wrapped around his waist, revealing his muscular upper body.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fu Shinan’s face turned slightly red, and she took a step back. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were showering. I interrupted you.”

“It’s okay, come in.” Ji Zan turned and went back into the room.

Fu Shinan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up the courage to follow him inside. “I still want to talk to you about Cao Yong.” To prevent Bai Lianhua from jumping out like a ghost to find trouble again, she decided to end the battle quickly.

Ji Zan put on a coat and leaned against the window.”Do you think we should listen to him, leave this place, and head east?”

Fu Shinan nodded. “Putting aside Cao Yong’s words, the current base is too large, and we’ve suffered too many casualties. We won’t be able to defend against another wave of zombies. It’s better to find another hiding place.”

Ji Zan glanced at the time. There were still three hours until nightfall, and he furrowed his brow involuntarily. “If we can’t find a hiding place within the next three hours, we might encounter a large-scale zombie attack at night.”

Fu Shinan thought for a moment. “Leaving now is indeed risky, but if the zombies do launch an attack tonight, what will we do? The base won’t hold… ‘ She paused for a moment and looked at Ji Zan with determination. “Mr. Ji, forgive me for being blunt. I chose to cooperate with you to survive, but if what Cao Yong said is true, I don’t want to bet on that possibility! If you still choose not to leave, then I’m sorry, I’ve said what needed to be said, and I will leave.”

Ji Zan remained silent as he contemplated.

Fu Shinan felt anxious. She didn’t know if this choice was right or wrong. If she chose wrongly, it could potentially endanger everyone. So she was conflicted. In that case, it would be better to split up and go separate ways. After all, she didn’t want to sit and wait for death. Given this rare opportunity to start anew, she didn’t want to gamble.

After a while, Ji Zan raised his head.”lt’s said that a woman’s intuition is very accurate, so I’ve decided to believe in Miss Fu!”

Fu Shinan nodded and went back to pack her things.

Five minutes later, Ji Zan, along with the other six people, including Xiao Chang’an and Bailianhua, came downstairs. Everyone regarded Ji Zan as their leader, so there was nothing much to discuss. Only Bai Lianhua gave Fu Shinan a glare, feeling that she was causing trouble. What did this woman mean? Was she trying to challenge her position as the female master? Indeed, in Bai Lianhua’s eyes, she was the woman by Ji Zan’s side, which made her the rightful female master.

The main reason Bailianhua didn’t want to leave was that she could take showers here and apply her makeup, but who knew if the treatment would be worse elsewhere? So she was very reluctant. Unfortunately, no one took her dissatisfaction seriously, so she had to suppress it.

However, what they didn’t know was that less than ten minutes after they left, their base was attacked by zombies again. The Ksitigarbha community couldn’t hold on any longer. Wang Tianba ordered everyone to block the door, while he took Yu Jian, Shi Chan ‘er, and a few other trusted aides and ran out the back door.

Another community was also filled with corpses, and within half an hour, the once peaceful town had turned into a lifeless city!

Fu Shinan and the others continued walking eastward, and over an hour later, they came across a row of two-story villas by the roadside. The sign at the entrance read “Warm Vacation Resort.”

By this time, it had already started to get dark.

Ji Zan frowned, surprised by how quickly it had become nighttime. He stopped the car and instructed his subordinates, “Go and check if anyone is here. If not, we’ll spend the night here.”

“Yes,” Da Fei got out of the car and knocked on the door. However, after waiting for a while, there was no response. Suddenly, a claw pierced through the glass and reached towards him.

Da Fei grabbed the zombie’s head and twisted it to the right. With a crisp sound, the zombie fell down. But the window was shattered, so this room couldn’t be inhabited. He walked towards another house, and five minutes later, he returned to the intersection. “Mr. Ji, there’s no one in these houses. We can stay here.”

The group chose the house furthest inside, considering it relatively safer. They cautiously entered the house, which indeed had the standard of a vacation resort. The first floor had a coffee table, a sofa, and a small kitchen, while the second floor had a small loft.

Ji Zan looked around and said, “For safety reasons, everyone will stay here tonight.”

Everyone agreed without objection, except for Bailianhua, who ran upstairs, took a look, and said, “There’s a separate room next to it, Brother Ji, I want that one..”
