Chapter 122: A Faint Hope
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Fu Shinan couldnโt help but look at Ji Zan, pondering as she asked, โWhy does he keep mentioning Lingqu Mountain? And how did this person travel from An Town to here? It couldnโt possibly be due to the tornado, right? Or has he been here for a while? Does that imply that this place isnโt far from An Town? Otherwise, how did he get here? This manโs mental state is clearly abnormal, and he doesnโt even have a car.โ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฐ๐ฃ๐๐.๐ค๐๐ฎ
โI donโt know,โ Ji Zan shrugged, but his peculiar attire made him look less dashing and somewhat comical.
Fu Shinan found it strange how a serious question could suddenly turn into something so theatrical. She forcefully bit her lip, then finally asked, โLast time, you mentioned that Lingqu Mountain wasnโt on any maps. If we were to go there, could you find it?โ She could sense that Ji Zan knew something about that place.
โDo you want to go there?โ Ji Zan looked at her.
Fu Shinan glanced at the ruined surroundings and spoke with a slightly somber tone, โWith tornadoes and who knows what other natural disasters lurking, maybe Lingqu Mountain is our last hope. How can we know unless we try? What do you think?โ
Ji Zan furrowed his brow, and the eerie vision he had seen earlier reappeared in his mindโpresumably, the premonition that Cao Yong had mentioned. In the vision, several people were walking along a windy and sandy path. So, did they truly end up at Lingqu Mountain? But what was it like there?
โWhatโs wrong?โ Fu Shinan tilted her head, sensing Ji Zanโs resistance since the mention of Lingqu Mountain.
Ji Zan contemplated for a moment and replied, โThat placeโฆ might not be what youโre imagining. It may not offer any hope.โ
โWell, whatโs it really like then? If itโs a mountain, there should be water, right? At the very least, it canโt be worse than here, can it?โ Fu Shinanโs curiosity was piqued.
Ji Zan seemed reluctant to answer, and after a brief silence, he shook his head and said, โIf youโre determined to go, I can take you thereโฆโ He understood that at the moment, there didnโt seem to be any other place to go, and perhaps there was some hope there.
โIn that case, letโs hurry back to An Town! If we run out of supplies, we can head to Lingqu Mountain immediately. Having some hope is better than having none,โ Fu Shinan took a few steps and added, โBut before that, we should find some clothes to wear. The way we look right now isโฆ quite somethingโฆโ Taking a look at their messy attire, Ji Zan gritted his teeth and replied, โYeah.โ
Seeing him grit his teeth like that, Fu Shinan couldnโt help but want to laugh again.
As Ji Zan heard her chuckle, he immediately turned to look at her.
Fu Shinan quickly turned her face. โLetโs get going, itโs really hotโฆโ
Ji Zan clenched his teeth again. โLetโs go!โ
It was unclear how much time had passed, but the sun didnโt seem as intense, suggesting it might be afternoon. Fortunately, Ji Zan was lucky and found a pair of work pants with a label and a somewhat fitting hoodie. Although they were quite dirty, shaking off the dust made them wearable, which was still better than wrapping themselves in rags.
However, Fu Shinan wasnโt as fortunate; she didnโt find anything to wear. Now, if she wanted clothes, sheโd have to go back to An Town. She still had a few sets of clothes in her small car, assuming her car was still there. But the problem was, they had been walking for so long, and they still had no idea where they were or how far they were from An Town. They didnโt even know the right direction. How could they get there? Even if they knew the way, they had no car, and looking around, even the barely intact cars were out of fuel.
โThis situation doesnโt look goodโฆโ Fu Shinan found a rock to sit on, feeling a bit hopeless.
Ji Zanโs expression was also very solemn as he looked at Fu Shinanโs visibly parched lips. He realized that they hadnโt had any water for a day and a night, and if they continued like this, they would soon become dehydrated. โRest here for a bit. Iโll check again.โ
โNo, we need to conserve our energy; thereโs not much food left,โ Fu Shinan sighed in relief but then added, โWeโve explored half the city, and thereโs nothing to be found. It seems like everythingโs been destroyed.โ
โThereโs always a way out; we just have to find it,โ Ji Zan looked into the distance, still filled with confidence. At this point, if he became disheartened, they would have no chance of survival.
Fu Shinan, seeing his determination, couldnโt help but admire him. His physical resilience was truly impressive, and his mindset was unwavering. He seemed even more composed than she, a surgeon.
โYou stay hereโฆโ Ji Zan had just finished speaking when he noticed some movement in the rubble.
It was a zombie!
Then, another pile of garbage also movedโฆ.
