Dr. Shire excitedly responded to Jiang Si, "We need an icebreaker vehicle!" He hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage. "Dear Miss Jiang, may I be so bold as to make a request? I'm begging you."
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow. "Go on."
Dr. Shire's slightly hesitant voice came through the walkie-talkie, "Miss Jiang, I want to find my daughter. I'm old, and I need an icebreaker vehicle to take my luggage and get on the road. Miss Jiang, I'm willing to trade the few supplies I have left for it. Please!"
Jiang Si and her group had more than enough supplies; they had no need for a trade.
But listening to the anguish in Dr. Shire's voice as he spoke of finding his daughter, she was suddenly reminded of her past life, of Jiang Linhai leading the zombies away to save her and her mother. Without thinking, she replied, "Alright."
