Chapter 41 Invitation

“Your cooperation is truly seamless and incredibly smooth! When I was watching from the side just now, I was simply stunned.” The man’s gaze was fixed on Jiang Xianchuan, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

He continued, “Oh, right, I was so busy marveling that I didn’t even have time to introduce myself. I’m Bai Su, and the one standing next to me is my good partner, Qi Xiaoyao.”

Immediately afterward, Jiang Xianchuan and the others also gave brief introductions to the other party. At this moment, Zhang Yan, who had been unable to suppress her inner curiosity, finally couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly was that ball of fire just now?” Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, obviously finding everything that had happened before her eyes unbelievable.

Hearing this question, Bai Su smiled slightly and replied easily, “Fire? That’s actually my ability.”

“Ability? You actually possess an ability? Is… is this really true!” Extreme surprise and disbelief instantly appeared on the faces of Zhang and his daughter; their eyes widened, and their mouths were slightly open, seemingly completely unable to accept such an extraordinary fact.

Although Jiang Xianchuan already knew of the existence of abilities, he still deliberately pretended to be equally surprised, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Bai Su smiled and said confidently, “Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, I’ll demonstrate it for you right now.” As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand and gently spread his palm open. In an instant, a raging flame appeared out of thin air in his hand, like a dazzling red lotus in full bloom, fiery and eye-catching.

“My goodness! This… this is exactly like the scenes described in novels! You’re amazing!” Listening to the constant praise from several people, Bai Su couldn’t help but show a smug look on his face, his expression like a proud peacock displaying its beautiful feathers.

Just then, Qi Xiaoyao, who had been silent and standing beside Bai Su, suddenly spoke up to remind him, “We should set off.”

Bai Su nodded upon hearing this, then turned to look at the others, saying with a serious expression, “Oh, right, I have an important message to tell you. According to the careful reconnaissance of our internal members, this area is probably not very safe. This place will enter a peak period of zombie outbreaks, which means that a large number of zombies may emerge around here. So, please be sure to take full protective measures. Moreover, the number of zombies that appear this time will definitely not be less than what we encountered today. If you feel it’s too difficult to deal with, or you’re not confident, then you might as well follow us back to our camp. It’s relatively safe there and can provide some shelter for everyone.”

Hearing these words, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but secretly complain in his heart. He had originally just intended to go to City Y, but he didn’t expect to encounter so many twists and turns and obstacles along the way.

These damned zombies were like they were deliberately opposing him, popping up endlessly. At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan only felt that he was extremely unlucky, and even began to suspect that God was deliberately teasing him.

At this time, the Zhang and his daughter were still full of hesitation and entanglement in their hearts. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing unease and worry. On the other side, Jiang Xianchuan was also silent, lost in deep thought. He kept thinking in his heart, regardless of whether the person in front of him was trustworthy, was it appropriate to simply invite strangers to join their group?

As if seeing through the doubts in Jiang Xianchuan’s heart, Qi Xiaoyao began to explain, “Our camp is currently lacking people with rich combat experience like you.”

After hearing these words, Jiang Xianchuan was first slightly stunned, then slowly nodded, expressing his approval, and said, “Okay, we’ll join you.”

Seeing that Jiang Xianchuan had made a decision, Zhang and his daughter exchanged glances, and finally nodded as well. Zhang Yan said, “Okay, since Jiang Xianchuan has agreed, then let’s pack our things and go back to the camp with you.”

So, everyone began to get busy, sorting out their respective luggage. While everyone was waiting, Bai Su kept staring at Jiang Xianchuan, his face carrying a faint, elusive smile.

This scene happened to be captured by Li Lingyu beside him, who frowned slightly and strode forward, quietly blocking between the two of them.

“You have an ability too, right?” Bai Su stared curiously at the person in front of him, his eyes flashing with inquisitive light, impatiently asking. However, the answer he received was short and concise: “I don’t.” These words were like a cold wall, instantly blocking Bai Su’s path to further exploration.

But Bai Su was not someone who would give up so easily, so he frowned and pouted unhappily, “Oh, don’t deny it so quickly! They all obediently listen to you. It would be strange if you didn’t have something special about you!”

Jiang Xianchuan looked at the stubborn young man in front of him, and couldn’t help but feel a little helpless in his heart. He knew that no matter how he explained, it would be futile, so he simply didn’t bother to argue anymore.

After all, sometimes, silence can express attitude better than words. So, he just glanced at Bai Su lightly, then shifted his gaze elsewhere, as if everything around him was more interesting than arguing with her.
