Ten minutes ago, Jiao Lizhi heard faint sounds of fighting coming from the direction of Lin'an University.
It seemed that what had happened in her previous life was still occurring. The only difference was that in this life, the intelligent, high-level zombies from her past had been eliminated before the rain.
Although she didn't know if her actions would change the future—or if she would even survive longer than in her previous life—Jiao Lizhi had no regrets. After all, her rebirth had already altered the course of fate.
As for Mo Binxue, it was a pity that she couldn't kill her with her own hands. But as zombies mutate, Lin'an University will soon become a zombie nest. No matter how powerful or scheming she is, she can't leave here alive.
She only hoped that she could experience the horror and pain of being eaten alive before she died.
After more than an hour of driving, they finally left the suburban area and entered the main road.
Not long after, they spotted several military armored vehicles and trucks approaching from the opposite direction.
Seeing this, Pei Yijun slowed down and pulled over to the roadside. Following behind him, Li Yang and Jiao Lizhi also slowed down and parked their cars.
Sitting inside her vehicle, Jiao Lizhi narrowed her eyes as she watched the fleet slow down and stop at the roadside. She had assumed that the Pei family would only send a small group of soldiers. Unexpectedly, they send so many soldiers just to escort the heir back home.
As she observed the soldiers stepping out of their vehicles, she tried to recall any memories of the Pei family from her previous life.
From the bits and pieces of information she had heard from survivors at the base, she knew that the Pei family was one of the key forces behind one of the largest bases in Huaxia.
Although their base was massive, with three times the number of survivors compared to Sachou City's base, their overall strength was still slightly weaker than Sanchou Base.
As this thought crossed her mind, her gaze landed on a tall man stepping out of an armored vehicle.
"Why is he here?" she muttered in surprise the moment she saw his face clearly.
As soon as Jin Xuyan got out of the car, he strode across the road with large steps. At that moment, Pei Yijun and his team also stepped out of their vehicles, looking at him.
But instead of greeting them, he walked straight toward the last car in hurried steps. Within two minutes, he was already standing beside the vehicle, knocking on the window.
After a brief pause, the window rolled down, revealing the face he had longed to see for so many years. The moment he confirmed she was alive and breathing, his eyes turned red and teary.
Without a word, he reached out for her. His broad palm grasped the back of her neck and pulled her close. Under everyone's gaze, he leaned down and kissed her soft lips.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to be honest and said, "I'm sorry, I don't remember."
She thought he would be upset or disheartened by her words. To her surprise, he smiled and said, "It's okay if Ah Zhi doesn't remember. As long as I remember our promise, that is enough."
He rubbed her nape gently and said in a low voice, "Ah Zhi, we were childhood sweethearts. We promised to be together for the rest of our lives. We grew up in Happy Orphanage. It's understandable that you forgot about me—you were only seven when I left."
At the end of his words, he let out a sigh of regret. They were so close that she could smell his masculine scent and taste him in her mouth.
After hearing his words, a vague image of a handsome, tall boy flashed in her mind. She studied him for a while before tentatively asking, "Brother Yan?"
Hearing the familiar name, Jin Xuyan grinned and replied, "Ah Zhi, it's me."
As they locked eyes, Pei Yijun suddenly walked over and said, "Captain Jin, this place isn't safe. We should leave now."
Jin Xuyan frowned slightly at the interruption but straightened his back and let Jiao Lizhi go. He nodded and opened the car door as he said, "You are right. We should leave as soon as possible."
