"woke up?"

Qin Wan stepped forward and reached out to touch Gu Shaoyan's forehead.

The temperature is scalding hot...

really……

The next second, the man who had been staring intently at her closed his eyes weakly and fell into a deep sleep once again.

Qin Wan: "..."

Just then, the air around Gu Shaoyan suddenly froze.

Qin Wan's expression changed slightly. She immediately stood up and stepped back, creating distance between herself and Gu Shaoyan.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Sinian stepped forward, looking at Qin Wan with concern in his eyes.

Qin Wan instinctively pulled his arm back, "Don't go over there."

"What's going on?" Jiang Sinian frowned, staring at Gu Shaoyan on the sofa with suspicion in his eyes.

Gu Shaoyan's cheeks were flushed, and he remained completely still.

"Let's carry him outside," Qin Wan said, her face full of complicated emotions.

"???" Jiang Sinian was puzzled.

Ten minutes later.

An open space near the villa.

Even as Jiang Sinian placed Gu Shaoyan beside the fountain, he still couldn't understand why Qin Wan had done such a thing.

He kept a safe distance from Gu Shaoyan as Qin Wan had instructed.

"boom!"

A raging fire shot into the sky.

The surrounding temperature soared, and not only that, the marble floor beneath Gu Shaoyan turned black at a visible speed.

Jiang Sinian: "!!!"

"This is... a fire-based ability?"

"I think so." Qin Wan's tone sounded a little uncertain.

Jiang Sinian frowned. No, it wasn't just Qin Wan who was unsure.

As a fellow superhuman, he could also sense that the energy fluctuations around Gu Shaoyan's body were quite abnormal.

Not just scorching fire energy...

What is that?

Above the flames, countless ice spikes turned into rain and fell, extinguishing the increasingly rampant sea of ​​fire.

"Dual elemental abilities of ice and fire."

"..." Jiang Sinian pursed his thin lips and fell into a long silence.

After a long pause, Jiang Sinian finally asked, "Can you awaken dual superpowers?"

"I don't know either. Like you, I have naturally awakened superpowers."

"Natural awakening means that in the early stages of the apocalypse, we suddenly develop a high fever, just like others suddenly turn into zombies."

“Gu Shaoyan is an exception. He was first scratched by a zombie, then poisoned by the zombie, and then drank the spiritual spring water in Qin Nuan’s mustard seed space.”

"While the spiritual spring water was removing the zombie poison, it should have also helped Gu Shaoyan cleanse his meridians and marrow."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should have a natural dual-elemental talent..."

"Dual spiritual roots?" The unfamiliar term surprised Jiang Sinian once again.

Qin Wan glanced at him indifferently, her brows furrowing slightly as she said, "Haven't you watched fantasy dramas? Aren't there often various spiritual roots and talents in those dramas?"

"For example, if you awaken a lightning-type ability, in a fantasy drama, your talent would be a natural lightning spiritual root."

"Spiritual roots and superpowers are just different adjectives."

At this point, Qin Wan paused, "In an era where spiritual energy or other energy was scarce, the cultivation speed of single-elemental abilities like yours and mine was much faster."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sinian's gaze involuntarily fell on the crystal core that Qin Wan almost never let go of.

"With so many zombies in the apocalypse, and these zombie crystal cores, how could his cultivation speed be slow?"

Qin Wan nodded in agreement, "Yes, with the arrival of the apocalypse, because of the existence of zombies, people with superpowers will not lack crystal cores and energy. So as long as Gu Shaoyan is willing to work hard to cultivate, his speed will not only not be slower than ours, but may even far surpass ours."

Jiang Sinian: "..."

Seeing that Qin Wan's gaze remained fixed on Gu Shaoyan, Jiang Sinian couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

What do you like about him?

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was suddenly taken aback and looked at Jiang Sinian with surprise in her eyes.

"Don't deny it, it's very obvious to anyone with eyes."

Qin Wan thought about it seriously for a moment, "Would you believe me if I said it started with looks?"

Jiang Sinian just looked at her, smiling without saying a word.

Seeing that Jiang Sinian didn't believe her, Qin Wan didn't even bother with a perfunctory response, her face showing complete indifference.

"...I just like him, there aren't that many reasons."

The sea of ​​fire and ice walls surrounding Gu Shaoyan lasted for a very long time, never dissipating.

As darkness fell, the zombies around them dared not get too close, thanks to Gu Shaoyan's special ability.

Glancing at the darkening sky, Qin Wan suddenly turned to look at Jiang Sinian beside her.

"Why don't you go back to the villa first?"

Jiang Sinian frowned, looking at her with suspicion, as if he didn't understand what she meant by those words.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Nuan will probably contact you again."

"She doesn't have any superpowers, and she doesn't trust anyone but you."

"If you go back now, and Gu Shaoyan and I aren't here, Qin Nuan will probably be looking for you."

Jiang Sinian: "..."

Thinking of Qin Nuan's life-saving grace, Jiang Sinian was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

He looked at Qin Wan with a complicated expression, full of inquiry: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in her life," Qin Wan said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sinian wanted to ask more, but Qin Wan had already turned to look at Gu Shaoyan, clearly unwilling to say anything more to him.

Seeing this, Jiang Sinian pursed his thin lips. After a brief silence, he didn't press the matter further and turned to walk towards the villa without looking back.

Qin Nuan saved his life.

Therefore, he will also repay Qin Nuan with his life.

He trusted Qin Wan; since she had said she wouldn't take Qin Nuan's life, then Qin Nuan's life was not in danger.

Moreover, this is the apocalypse. Qin Nuan has no special abilities and only a mustard seed space. It is easy for her to survive temporarily, but she is also very likely to become the target of everyone's attacks.

If Qin Wan really wanted to deal with her, all she had to do was publicize Qin Nuan's Mustard Seed Space.

Whether anyone believes it or not, in this apocalypse, who knows what might happen to humanity as they struggle to survive.

Qin Wan frowned slightly as she watched Jiang Sinian's departing figure...

It has to be said that Jiang Sinian is quite good compared to the original male protagonists in other dimensions.

Qin Nuan saved his life, and he has truly been protecting Qin Nuan ever since.

Even after learning from her that Qin Nuan possessed a secret treasure, Jiang Sinian did not show the slightest unusual expression.

This man is truly a good person.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan sighed softly, "What a pity, Qin Nuan is so clueless."

If she had been more clear-headed and sincere towards Jiang Sinian, perhaps their endings would have been different.

Inside the villa.

As Qin Wan said, Jiang Siqian had just returned to the room when Qin Nuan appeared in the room the next second.

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Sinian asked Qin Nuan with a complicated look in his eyes.

“Let’s cooperate.” Qin Nuan, abandoning her previous dependent attitude, stared straight at Jiang Sinian with a clear-headed expression.

"Cooperation?" Jiang Sinian frowned, seemingly not understanding the deeper meaning behind her words.

"Jiang Sinian, I saved your life."

"Moreover, compared to Qin Wan, my space has a greater advantage for you!"
