At this moment, Pei Yijun and his team were in no condition to fight. If the approaching figures had been zombies, they would have been in serious trouble. Fortunately, it was the soldiers.
Zhang Yuan clenched his fist, and the stone wall instantly crumbled. As it fell away, Jiao Lizhi, Jin Xuyan, and the soldiers finally got a clear view of the warehouse.
The sight of the bloodstained floor sent a flicker of shock through their eyes. As they stepped inside, they finally saw the traces of a fierce battle.
Jiao Lizhi scanned the area and quickly noticed that Luo Jing was nowhere to be seen. Her gaze landed on the pool of blood, and a guess formed in her mind.
In her previous life, Luo Jing had survived until the very end, eventually becoming Pei Yijun's team's vice leader. She never expected him to die here.
And when she thought about it, everything that had happened today was a direct result of her actions.
If not for her intervention, Pei Yijun and his team would have remained at Lin'an University until the soldiers picked them up. They would have been escorted to Jianning City without delay.
Standing beside her, Jin Xuyan noticed her shift in mood and gently held her hand. Leaning in, he looked into her eyes and said solemnly, "Ah Zhi, this isn't your fault. This life is different from before. We do what we must to survive, so don't blame yourself."
Jiao Lizhi looked at him and asked, "Brother Yan, do you think what we are doing is right or wrong?"
"We are only trying to live, and there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone is responsible for their own choices and actions. You are not a hero, nor a saint—the world's fate and people's lives and deaths aren't your burden to carry," Jin Xuyan replied.
He knew he was selfish, ruthless, and cold-hearted. He didn't care if the entire world cursed him or got destroyed because of him. As long as his Ah Zhi was safe, he was willing to be the villain, even if it meant going against the world and fate itself.
He would never let anyone, not even Ah Zhi herself, make her doubt or blame herself for the choices she had made.
Hearing his words, Jiao Lizhi took a deep breath and nodded. She had already made her choice—to survive. She needed to stand firm in her decision.
In the apocalypse, the weak perished, and only the strong had the right to live.
What happened here wasn't her fault. She shouldn't feel guilty. She had done her best—she had helped them escape Lin'an University and shielded them from the rain. What had happened to him was unfortunate, but she owed nothing to Luo Jing.
Seeing that her emotions had stabilized, Jin Xuyan sighed in relief. His gaze shifted, and he saw Gao Bohai setting Han Jie's dislocated arm back into place while Li Yang was in the midst of breaking through.
He walked over to Pei Yijun and asked, "Young Master Pei, have you made your selection?"
His eyes were bright and full of excitement. Standing up, he clenched his fists and checked his body. When he saw that his body didn't turn into a half-hulk like Teacher Cao, he finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled. freewebnøvel.coɱ
