Ji Zan’s tone was firm, with no room for negotiation, “There are too many unknown dangers in the mountains. Compared to starving, it’s better to have a clear and understood death, right? We’ll go back and find a new path.”

Fu Shinan had known Ji Zan for quite a while now, and he was someone who always considered the bigger picture. He wouldn’t make such a decision without a good reason. Besides, it was clear that going back was not suitable at the moment. She hesitated for a moment and suggested, “How about we take a vote?”

Ji Zan interrupted directly, “No need. I’ve already predicted that this path is not suitable. Pack up and get ready to leave.”

Fu Shinan went on, “Did you see a premonition in your visions?”

Ji Zan paused while dismantling the tent, “Yes.”

Fu Shinan immediately responded, “Then shouldn’t we continue on this path?

If you Imow in advance, we can find a way to avoid the danger.”

“That won’t work; it’s too dangerous! I don’t want to take that risk!” Ji Zan had made up his mind to go back.

Liang Xuanzhe remained silent for a long time before finally approaching Ji Zan and whispering, “Mr. Ji, I know I shouldn’t be saying this, you’ve already been a tremendous help… but can we at least try? Going back will waste too much time, and Professor Zhao… he has cancer, he doesn’t have much time left.’

Fu Shinan was stunned.

Liang Xuanzhe lowered his voice even more, “We discovered it when the apocalypse first hit. Actually, I wanted to ask Mr. Ji yesterday, can your healing ability treat cancer?”

Ji Zan replied, “I don’t know, but I can try.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Xuanzhe was filled with gratitude, “That would be great, but Mr. Ji, please don’t let him know. Professor Zhao doesn’t know yet, and we haven’t told him.”

Upon learning about this situation, Fu Shinan was even more opposed to turning back. Professor Zhao’s experiments represented hope for humanity, just like those researchers and soldiers who had chosen to save Professor Zhao. She wanted the same. They had to get Professor Zhao to Water City as soon as possible to participate in the experiments. No one knew when they would finally develop a cure for the virus.

But seeing that Ji Zan was still adamant, Fu Shinan could only say, “We’re a team, and all decisions are made by a show of hands, just like before! This time is no exception!” She raised her hand and said, “I agree to go through the mountains and disagree with going back the same way.”

Xia Dong, Sun Han, and others immediately raised their hands. From a food perspective, going back was not an option.

The two professors were eager for scientific research, and arriving in Water City one day earlier meant one more glimmer of hope.

Ji Zan looked at everyone who had made a decision and felt helpless. It seemed that some things, even if predicted, couldn’t be avoided. He clenched his teeth and looked at Fu Shinan, saying, “Okay, but Fu Shinan, you have to stick with me!”

Seeing that Ji Zan had agreed, Fu Shinan smiled and said, “Okay!”

Watching Fu Shinan’s smiling face, Ji Zan’s inner gloom diminished a bit more. As long as she stayed by his side, he could protect her and ensure her safety.

Half an hour later, everyone was ready. Ji Zan activated his wind ability, and everyone had whirlwinds under their feet. Leading the way, he held Fu Shinan’s hand and started running. Because they were in the mountains with abundant vegetation, and the world had suffered from post-apocalyptic disasters, the forest was chaotic and overgrown. Even though they were running at high speeds, the vegetation scraped their skin and stung. However, no one complained or stopped, fearing they might encounter danger.

Along the way, they did encounter some mutated animals, even small sparrows had wingspans as long as a child’s arm. But no matter what they encountered, these creatures harbored hatred towards humans. Fortunately, their speed allowed them to escape without any harm. They ran for half an hour and had covered about half of the distance. The first light of dawn was visible on the horizon, which eased Ji Zan’s constant anxiety.

However, at that moment, they heard a scream from Molly.

He Zhe turned around and saw that Molly had been tackled by a wild boar with bloodshot eyes! However, it was no ordinary wild boar; its face was adorned with sharp spikes, and it had several long tusks…

He Zhe grabbed a tree branch and rushed to confront the wild boar, trying to rescue Molly.

Fu Shinan also quickly halted her steps. She held a reinforced stick in her hand and thrust it towards the wild boar’s neck.

A normal stick wouldn’t have been able to harm a mutated wild boar, but the extraordinary penetrating power and speed of the thrust managed to pierce through the boar’s tough skin. Blood sprayed out instantly, and Fu Shinan couldn’t dodge it in time, getting drenched in the process..
