Chapter 220: Reason To Go Back

Xu Xiang silently watched Huan Yun cry and beg her. She clenched her hands tightly and closed her eyes. There is nothing she can do for her now. Sitting there, she let Huan Yun cry to vent her emotions.

It took a long time before Huan Yun calmed down and stopped crying. She wiped away her tears embarrassingly, let go of Xu Xiang’s hand and said, "I’m sorry. I shouldn’t let you see me crying like this."

Xu Xiang shook her head, poured her a cup of water, and calmly said, "No problem. Come, drink this first."

Huan Yun took the water cup from her hand and drank it down in one gulp. After drinking the water, her mood calmed down a lot. She looked at Xu Xiang and asked in her hoarse voice.

"What about you? How did you get here?"

Xu Xiang filled her empty cup and said calmly, "Before I came here, I died twice. The first time I was eaten alive by those zombies, and the second time I died after jumping off a high cliff."

Hearing her answer, Huan Yun’s eyes widened immediately as she looked at Xu Xiang in shock. One death had already left her with deep fear and trauma. She couldn’t imagine how Xu Xiang could still maintain her sanity after she died twice.

Seeing Huan Yun’s surprised expression, Xu Xiang calmly said, "The first time I died was when I was sixty years old, and then I went back to when I’m only five years old. Then I lived my second life and died when I was twenty years old. The night before the apocalypse began. I don’t know if I died in my second life, but I came to this world with my own body."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Huan Yun again and said, "You should have guessed it, since you recognized me the moment you saw me."

Huan Yun nodded at her. "Mhm."

She thought for a while and asked, "If you died twice, is the Xu Xiang I know from your first or second life?"

Xu Xiang rubbed her chin and pondered on her question seriously, before saying, "You should have met me in my second life."

"How can you be so sure?" Huan Yun asked again.

Xu Xiang glanced at her and said calmly: "Because my elder brother died when he was twelve years old in my first life. It was impossible for you to meet him. In my second life, there were still three years before my elder brother died. So I tried my best in order to prevent the assassination of my parents and elder brother. Besides, I didn’t enter the military academy in my first life, but joined the army."

"But, Senior Xu Xuan, he still..." Seeing the sadness in Xu Xiang’s eyes, Huan Yun stopped talking.

Xu Xiang sighed, and said, "Yes. My elder brother died when he was twenty years old in my second life. But the reason was not because of the assassination, but because of his brain damaging his body."

"You know he’s the most talented man in our history, right?" Xu Xiang asked with a sad smile.

Huan Yun nodded, and then Xu Xiang said, "Everything has a price. Because his brain is so powerful, his body can’t bear it. He died because of organ failure. I tried everything, but I still couldn’t save him."

After she finished speaking, neither of them spoke. After a long silence, Xu Xiang looked at Huan Yun and asked, "What are your plans now?"

Huan Yun shook her head and said dejectedly: "I don’t know. I just want to go back to our world to find my father, but it seems impossible. Now, the mutants must already finish eating my body."

Xu Xiang looked at her sad face and fell into deep thought. Huan Yun looked at her thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you want to go back too?"

Xu Xiang nodded and firmly said, "Yes. No matter what, I have to go back and save my elder brother."

Hearing her words, Huan Yun was taken aback. She asked, "You want to save senior Xu Xuan? Do you have a way to resurrect the dead?"

With a smile on her lips, Xu Xiang looked at her and said, "I have a solution. But I must return to our world first."

Huan Yun looked at her for a moment and said, "You know how to return to our world."

Xu Xiang nodded again and said, "Mhm."

Huan Yun thought for a while and asked cautiously: "Can you bring me back too?"

Xu Xiang didn’t answer Huan Yun, but asked, "You said you belonged to the Strategic and Political Department, right?"

Not knowing why she asked this, Huan Yun nodded. "Yes. In the last ranking examination, I ranked second."

Satisfied with her answer, Xu Xiang smiled and said, "That is great. If you want to go back, then you must agree to help me. I know how to go back, but I lack people to help me."

Huan Yun tilted her head and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Xiang looked at her and said lightly: "Save this world."

Hearing her answer, Huan Yun was speechless.

"....." ’Sister, do you think saving the world is as simple as flipping your hands?’

Knock, knock.

Hearing the knock on the carriage door, Xu Xiang looked at Huan Yun and said seriously: "Never let anyone know where you come from, or what we are talking about just now."

After seeing Huan Yun’s serious expression when she nodded at her, Xu Xiang turned around and turned off the sound barrier device. After putting the sound barrier device back into the space, she opened the door.

When the door opened, Xiao Shao and Mu Yucheng looked at her. Seeing that she was fine, Xiao Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Yucheng, who was standing beside Xiao Shao, looked at Huan Yun who was peeking from behind Xu Xiang. The moment Huan Yun’s eyes met his cold eyes, her whole body shivered uncontrollably. Grabbing the corner of Xu Xiang’s clothes tightly, she lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Mu Yucheng.
