Chapter 75 Cooperation

“If you truly intend to cooperate with me, why did you have to bring me here?” Jiang Xianchuan frowned, his heart filled with suspicion as he stared directly at Qi An.

A look of grievance instantly appeared on Qi An’s face. He said softly, “Because I just wanted to be alone with you for a while. That guy beside you is just too fierce.” Mentioning Li Lingyu, Jiang Xianchuan’s heart tightened, and he felt more worried. He wondered how Li Lingyu was doing at this moment.

“Brother, please agree to cooperate with me, okay?” Qi An took a few steps closer, gently took Jiang Xianchuan’s hand, and looked up at him with anticipation.

Jiang Xianchuan looked down at the hand being held and slowly said, “Even if we cooperate successfully and defeat those ability snatchers together, what then? Would we then become enemies again?” Qi An quickly shook his head and replied firmly, “If it’s you, brother, I would never hurt you in the slightest.”

However, Jiang Xianchuan remained unmoved. He sighed helplessly and shook his head firmly, refusing, “Humans and zombies can’t coexist after all. I’m sorry, I probably can’t agree to your request.”

Hearing Jiang Xianchuan’s straightforward rejection, Qi An didn’t seem surprised. He simply nodded and said, “In that case, you should return to your camp as soon as possible. After all, ability snatchers have already appeared in your camp.”

These words were like a thunderbolt in Jiang Xianchuan’s ears. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked with astonishment, “What did you say? Ability snatchers have invaded my camp? That… how is that possible?” Qi An nodded seriously and explained, “The reason I risked bringing you out was actually just to ensure your safety.”

Jiang Xianchuan’s expression changed. He quickly pulled his hand away from the other’s grip and turned around to stride towards the door without hesitation. When he grasped the doorknob and twisted it with force, he was shocked to find that no matter how hard he tried, the seemingly ordinary door didn’t budge!

“What exactly do you mean by this?” Jiang Xianchuan glared angrily, his voice filled with obvious anger and confusion.

“I already said it, I just simply wanted to spend a little more time with you,” the voice coming from the other side was gentle but with a hint of cunning.

The anger in Jiang Xianchuan’s heart instantly ignited. Although he knew that there were many people with strong combat power in this camp, the current situation still made him feel uneasy. What if something unexpected happened… Thinking of this, he shouted at the closed door again, “Let me leave this place.”

Qi An gently shook his head, the movement seeming to deliberately provoke him. Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan kicked the door angrily, but after two consecutive kicks, the door remained unresponsive.

Helpless, Jiang Xianchuan gritted his teeth and said, “I can cooperate with you, but only if you let me go immediately!”

Hearing this, a smug smile appeared on Qi An’s face, and he replied softly, “Okay, I knew you would eventually agree.” As soon as he finished speaking, a soft “click” was heard, and the originally locked door finally opened.

Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan didn’t say a word. He immediately pushed open the door and rushed out. He quickly observed the surrounding environment, trying to find traces left behind on the way here so that he could return the same way. At the same time, he prayed in his heart that nothing would go wrong.

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly came from behind. Before Jiang Xianchuan could react, he was tightly embraced by a huge force. Then, Qi An’s voice sounded in his ear: “Brother, don’t bother looking for the way, let me take you there.”

Before Jiang Xianchuan could respond, Qi An rushed away with him like a gust of wind. Jiang Xianchuan only felt the scenery in front of him receding rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had already left that mysterious place far behind.

Not long after, they returned to the camp. As soon as he landed, Jiang Xianchuan was stunned by the sight before him. The streets of the camp were full of traces left after fierce fighting. Broken stone slabs, collapsed walls, and weapons and equipment scattered all over the ground all showed that a thrilling battle had just taken place here.

Looking at the devastated scene, Jiang Xianchuan’s heart sank. At this moment, his only thought was to find Li Lingyu and Shi Yi as soon as possible and confirm that they were safe and sound.

Just then, an incomparably sharp wind blade rushed towards Jiang Xianchuan like lightning. In the nick of time, Qi An rushed forward and blocked the wind blade head-on with lightning speed.

Jiang Xianchuan was startled and said gratefully, “Thank you.” Qi An smiled slightly, revealing two cute little dimples, and responded softly, “You don’t need to be so polite with me, brother.” As soon as he finished speaking, he continued, “Wait for me for a while, brother.” Before Jiang Xianchuan could reply, Qi An disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind.

Not long after, Qi An reappeared in front of Jiang Xianchuan. At this time, he was holding a bloody, already stopped beating heart tightly in his hand. He said to Jiang Xianchuan with excitement, “Brother, I remember that there seems to be someone in your camp who can control the power of the wind element, so I specially brought this heart back for you.”

Jiang Xianchuan carefully held the cold and no longer beating heart in both hands and then turned around without hesitation and strode towards the depths of the camp.

Along the way, he was anxious and kept looking around, hoping to find his other companions as soon as possible. However, as he went deeper and deeper into the camp, there was no one around. Not only that, but the pungent smell of blood in the air became even stronger.

Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds came.

Jiang Xianchuan took a closer look and saw a group of hideous-looking zombies with rotten bodies falling from the building!

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Out of instinct, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed Qi An beside him, wanting to take him to escape this dangerous place quickly.

However, to Jiang Xianchuan’s surprise, Qi An didn’t move at all, standing firmly on the spot as if his feet were rooted to the ground.

Then, Qi An gently waved his arm, and those originally ferocious and vicious zombies seemed to be frozen in place by a magic spell, instantly losing all vitality and falling straight to the ground.
