Familiar lightning filled the area around Jiang Sinian...

Qin Nuan braked suddenly, almost losing control of her massive momentum and crashing into it.

She stared wide-eyed at Jiang Sinian in disbelief…

“Sin Nian…”

Before she could utter her piercing question, Jiang Sinian interrupted her.

"Say one more word and I'll knock you out."

Qin Nuan choked, her face turning pale and then flushed.

She never expected that Jiang Sinian, who had always been so indulgent towards her, would suddenly become so ruthless.

With red eyes, she looked longingly at Jiang Sinian, wanting to rush forward but also afraid of the lightning surrounding Jiang Sinian's body.

Seeing this, Qin Wan, who was watching the show through the car window, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Bringing you to the survivor base is already the most tolerant thing he can do for you."

"Of course, if you still want to keep bothering him, you can try."

After saying that, Qin Wan knocked on the car door to remind Jiang Sinian, "It's time to get in the car."

Under Qin Nuan's tearful gaze, Jiang Sinian drove, while Gu Shaoyan and Qin Wan sat in the back, absorbing the crystal cores and watching the show.

Suddenly, Qin Wan leaned out of the car window and waved to Qin Nuan behind the car.

"I look forward to seeing you again, my dear sister."

After she finished speaking, a familiar jade bracelet appeared in Qin Wan's palm. She held the jade bracelet with a smile and waved it at Qin Nuan.

Qin Nuan: "!!!"

ah! ! !

Qin Wan!!!

I won't let you get away with this!

Absolutely not!

Qin Nuan was trembling with anger and overwhelmed with emotion, which caused her to subconsciously chase after the departing car.

However, she hadn't run more than a few steps when a zombie's roar rang out...

"roar!"

Qin Nuan was so frightened that her whole body stiffened.

After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly snapped out of it, turned around with a reluctant expression, and ran back to the base.

Qin Wan rested her chin on her hand, watching Qin Nuan's disheveled figure flee, and couldn't help but sigh, "We might meet again."

Jiang Sinian: "..." He didn't want to.

Gu Shaoyan frowned and looked at Qin Wan with a puzzled expression. "Why are you so sure?"

Qin Wan turned to look at him, a faint smile playing on her lips. "If I told you I've awakened the power of precognition, would you believe me?"

"Do I look like an idiot?" Gu Shaoyan asked with a forced smile.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"I was just saying it offhand."

Upon hearing this, neither of the two men in the car believed her explanation.

Thinking of Qin Nuan's selfish nature, Gu Shaoyan couldn't help but look at Jiang Sinian with sympathy.

Jiang Sinian: "..."

“There’s nothing between her and me,” Jiang Sinian said, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his face full of displeasure.

"Mhm." Gu Shaoyan nodded perfunctorily.

Qin Wan was even more audacious. She blinked her innocent, wide eyes and asked, "Did I say anything?"

Jiang Sinian: "..."

The journey without Qin Nuan was exceptionally smooth and quiet.

Qin Wan and Gu Shaoyan were busy absorbing crystal cores to enhance their superpowers, and Jiang Sinian was not idle either.

Aside from driving, he also spent the rest of his time frantically absorbing crystal cores to enhance his superpowers.

The three worked together seamlessly and were highly skilled in combat. They easily dealt with any small groups of zombies or individual mutated zombies they encountered along the way.

Not to mention, Qin Wan also possesses two deadly weapons...

When they encountered another sizable horde of zombies, Jiang Sinian and Gu Shaoyan looked grave and frowned.

At this moment, Qin Wan reached out and nudged Gu Shaoyan beside her.

What are you staring at?

"It's time for the old locust tree to make its move."

As soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, the three of them simultaneously looked at the wooden bracelet on Gu Shaoyan's wrist.

Since the old locust tree was turned into wooden bracelets, everyone seems to have forgotten its existence.

Now that Qin Wan had mentioned it, the old locust tree shook its body and fell to the ground, detached from Gu Shaoyan's wrist.

Countless vines extend deep into the ground...

The horde of zombies in front of them disappeared at a visible speed.

The ground trembled, the land split apart, and bottomless abysses appeared.

The familiar scene before them awakened Jiang Sinian and Gu Shaoyan's briefly forgotten memories.

A crazy scene in the residential building...

It really was the old locust tree that did it.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing...

Even though Qin Wan had already told them that the culprit at the time was the old locust tree.

But when they actually witnessed this scene, Jiang Sinian and Gu Shaoyan couldn't help but exchange a silent glance, both seeing deep apprehension in each other's eyes.

Jiang Sinian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at Qin Wan with a complicated expression.

"You did this on purpose."

Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and looked at him innocently, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Jiang Sinian opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything.

Qin Wan did it on purpose...

Whether it was the sudden sword strike aimed at him, or the deliberate refusal to bring out the old locust tree, or even abandoning the original off-road vehicle, he was willing to risk everything to carve a bloody path through the horde of zombies.

She's pressuring him.

Force him to make a choice.

This forced him to take drastic measures against Qin Nuan.

After figuring everything out, Jiang Sinian had mixed feelings, but he had no regrets.

He was always mindful of the life-saving grace he had received, and he made concessions to Qin Nuan time and time again. However, instead of gratitude, she took advantage of him and became increasingly unreasonable.

After devouring all the zombies, the old locust tree's massive body suddenly swayed from side to side as if it were drunk, its leaves falling incessantly from its top...

Seeing this, Gu Shaoyan subconsciously looked at Qin Wan: "What's wrong with it?"

"It seems like it's about to advance..." Qin Wan said, squinting at the surging energy within the old locust tree.

"Can it turn back into a wooden bracelet?" Gu Shaoyan asked subconsciously.

Compared to the old locust tree's massive trunk, he suddenly felt that the wooden bracelet looked more pleasing to the eye.

Although the wooden bracelet was a bit ugly, it was small and easy to conceal.

But the old locust tree was too big; if it couldn't be transformed into a wooden bracelet, it would have to follow them in this form the whole way...

It's so disgusting!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Seeing Gu Shaoyan's disgusted expression, Qin Wan couldn't help but chuckle.

“You are its owner, why don’t you go up and ask it?” Qin Wan said.

Gu Shaoyan thought for a moment, then looked at Qin Wan with a serious expression, "You come with me."

"Are you afraid?" Qin Wan asked in surprise.

Gu Shaoyan shook his head subconsciously, "I'm just worried about you."

Qin Wan: "???"

Don't you trust her?

Besides her, there is no one else here...

Thinking of this, Jiang Sinian and Qin Wan simultaneously looked up at each other.

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Sinian's face darkened, while Qin Wan's smile deepened.

Let's go.

After speaking, before Gu Shaoyan could even set off, Qin Wan took the lead and walked towards the old locust tree.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoyan quickly chased after him.

Behind them, Jiang Sinian watched their departing figures with a deep gaze.

[Gu Shaoyan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 75.]

The moment Qin Wan showed him favoritism and indulgence, Gu Shaoyan felt a surge of joy.

Sure enough, he knew that Qin Wan still liked him.

Even if Jiang Sinian is just as good-looking as him, so what?

Qin Wan has absolutely no place for Jiang Sinian in her heart!
