I Reincarnated During the Apocalypse and Killed My Enemies

Thirsty and parched, Fu Shinan took the water and drank eagerly. Once her throat felt better, she asked, “What about Man Yu? And Xia Dong and He Zhu, how are they?”

Both of them lowered their heads, unable to answer.

Instantly, tears welled up in Fu Shinan’s eyes. She should have known. Falling from that height, there was no way they could have survived. It was all her fault. If she hadn’t insisted on crossing the valley, they wouldn’t have encountered these events. They should have turned back. She had thought they would all make it to Water City together, but in just one day, they had lost six people.

Seeing her grief, Shui Ling’er and Wei Xinyi embraced her, one on each side.

“Sister Fu, Sister Man Yu is lucky. She’ll be fine! We’ve encountered so much on this journey, and they won’t be defeated by the current difficulties,” Shui Ling’er said, trying to comfort her. But despite their words, both of them couldn’t hold back their tears. Being grabbed at such a height, even if they had managed to break free, the fall would have been fatal. Besides, eagles were known to snatch their prey and drop them from great heights.

At that moment, the tent was opened, and Ji Zan walked in.

Shui Ling’er gave Wei Xinyi a little nudge. “Sister Fu, we’ll get you some porridge to warm you up.”

Fu Shinan suddenly couldn’t bring herself to look at Ji Zan, keeping her head down in silence.

Ji Zan sat down in front of her and spoke gently, “I predicted that Man Yu didn’t die! She, Bai Lianhua, and Da Fei are all alive, but I can’t pinpoint her exact location.”

Fu Shinan immediately lifted her head, filled with joy. “Really?”

Ji Zan patted her shoulder. “Yes, it’s true. Not only her, but Xia Dong and He

Zhu are also safe. However, they…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Fu Shinan already knew what he meant. She kept her tears at bay, as crying wouldn’t change anything. She didn’t want to cry, and she couldn’t afford to cry. She said, “It’s my fault. I should have listened to you.”

Ji Zan put his hand on her shoulder and made her look up at him. His voice was firm and reassuring. “Do you know why I insisted on going back the way we came? It wasn’t because I foresaw everyone’s deaths. I only saw you covered in blood, entangled by the python, and your fate was uncertain. I was afraid that I couldn’t save you, so I decided to go back. Fortunately, you’re safe. Otherwise, I would never forgive myself.”

The tent was small, and they were very close. Fu Shinan could clearly feel Ji Zan’s warm breath, which made her instinctively shrink her neck and turn her head away. She said, “You don’t need to make excuses for me. It’s all my fault. I led everyone into this…”

“Fu Shinan!” Ji Zan’s voice became firm, and he turned her face back to him.

“Do you remember when I told you I could sense when you were in danger? Even before I gained that precognitive ability, I could feel your danger, and it was always only you.”

Fu Shinan looked puzzled. “Why?”

Ji Zan suddenly smirked. “I don’t know. Maybe you’re just different to me.”

Fu Shinan also recalled the familiar sensation she had when she controlled Ji Zan’s body earlier, like it was engraved in her bones. She had known Ji Zan for a few months now, but this was the first time she had such a feeling. Could it be because she had controlled his body, or perhaps it was related to her past life? But that couldn’t be possible. In her previous life, she had been torn apart by a horde of zombies, leaving nothing behind. She hadn’t turned into a zombie, and she certainly didn’t know Ji Zan.

Seeing Fu Shinan’s alternating expressions of confusion and sighs, Ji Zan patted her again. “Stop thinking about it! In normal circumstances, we should have entered the mountains. Our food supply is running low, and it’s not enough to choose a different route. Even though we’ve lost a few people, our current food supply will barely last one meal. It seems like we’ll have to try catching some fish in the river.”

Fu Shinan immediately asked, “Can you catch a live one?”

Ji Zan raised an eyebrow and questioned, “Why?”

Fu Shinan replied, “Wei Xinyi said those animals have a strong hostility towards humans. I want to know why! Maybe we can gather some information from the fish. Who knows what we might encounter in the future, whether it’s more large animals….”
