"I hope my brother can become very strong. I don't need him to be a great hero. It would be good enough if he could just live well in this apocalypse."

Lin Xi's voice was calm and even, each word distinct, and it lingered in his mind for a long time.

Lu Nan took a short time to calm himself down and said calmly, "Celine, please don't try to guess my sister's thoughts in the future. Although you look somewhat similar, you are not her."

"No, you misunderstood. I was just expressing my thoughts. I hope my brother feels this way. Obviously, I'm not your sister." After saying that, Lin Xi turned around and left with the words, "See you tomorrow."

Lu Nan remained silent.

At the next turn, Cheng Sheng turned around and smiled at him, "Hi."

Lu Nan stopped hurling insults at her, which made Cheng Sheng feel a little uneasy. After catching up, she also noticed that Lu Nan didn't seem as resistant as he had been the day before.

Is this... my tactics starting to work?

Cheng Sheng was delighted, and her expression softened considerably. "Have you made up your mind? Let's go together tomorrow!"

"roll!"

Cheng Sheng's expression changed, and she took back the words that had just crossed her mind!

Results my foot! This person is completely unyielding! I'm just wasting my time and energy here!

This continued for two or three days.

Cheng Sheng sat with Chen Jin and Jiang Chuan, her eyes vacant; she was truly exhausted.

Lu Nan's attitude has changed, but he refuses to budge.

"I'm afraid next week's time will be confiscated."

"I'm afraid that even with the rest time, we won't have finished dealing with Lu Nan yet," Chen Jin shook his head.

"Teacher Chen, did you actually try to persuade him?"

Faced with the questions, Chen Jin nodded firmly, "I've tried to persuade you."

"It's fake!"

Jiang Chuan remained aloof throughout, not participating in their conversation.

Lin Xi was following Lu Nan at that moment.

I was just strolling around aimlessly when suddenly the crowd became restless.

Lin Xi and Lu Nan both turned around to look.

A masked man charged straight toward them.

"He's a level 5 ability user!" Lu Nan shouted, shoving Lin Xi aside.

But this person's target seems to be only Lin Xi, and he hasn't made a move against Lu Nan.

Lin Xi found it strange. Usually, when she encountered danger, wouldn't the system give her a warning?

Why is there nothing this time?

When Lin Xi looked at the masked man again, a knowing look appeared in her eyes.

Yun has made a move, testing Lu Nan.

Isn't this person with the metal-type superpower the one who usually spars with Lin Xi?

However, Lu Nan never trained with them, so he was naturally unaware of these things.

Lin Xi looked at Lu Nan, who looked terrified and frantically drew the man's attack away from her.

However, Lu Nan's strength was clearly far inferior to his, and even after countless simulations, it was inevitable that this high-level ability user would get close to Lin Xi.

In that instant, the superhuman's movements suddenly slowed down, but Lu Nan, who was full of worry, obviously did not notice the problem. He caught up at his fastest speed and stood in front of Lin Xi.

"Lu Nan, you value your life so much, why would you willingly take a fatal blow for someone you've only met a few times? But even if you wanted to, do you have the ability to block it?"

Instead of the expected punch, an unfamiliar voice rang in his ears.

He opened his eyes. "Why do you know my name?"

The person opposite smiled faintly, "You want to protect her? But if it were someone who really wanted to kill you all today, you wouldn't even be able to protect yourself, let alone her."

Lu Nan guessed the man's identity and couldn't help but sneer, "It's kind of you to go to all this trouble."

He withdrew his fist. "If you can understand everyone's good intentions, that would be the best outcome."

Lu Nan didn't take it seriously and naturally categorized the bewildered Lin Xi as one of their accomplices.

After all, these two groups share the same goal.

"You've gone to so much trouble to persuade me, aren't you just trying to get me to work for the Wind Eagle Legion? What's the difference between that and sending me to my death?"

"Lu Nan, in this unstable era, as long as the threat of zombies exists, humanity has no safety. If you want your life to be free of threats, you have to make the corresponding efforts. After all, there is no free lunch in this world."

Lu Nan walked away without looking back, leaving Lin Xi and that annoying voice behind him.

Lin Xi wanted to chase after him, but it seemed the timing wasn't right.

She turned to look at her sparring partner, somewhat speechless, "You're putting me in a difficult position!"

"Give him some time to think it over. If he can figure it out, then this whole thing won't have been a waste of time."

Lin Xi shook her head. Stubborn as Lu Nan was, she probably would never be able to figure it out.

"Damn it, all three days of hard work have been wasted. Forget it, I'll talk to them and we might as well just give up together."

The man's brow twitched violently beneath his mask. He was joking; if the most promising members at the Silver Badge level collectively gave up, the Windhawk Clan's future would be hopeless.

He couldn't help but advise, "Wait a little longer."

Lin Xi sighed.

He quickly changed the subject, "Celine, it seems your dodging skills have improved again."

Lin Xi was speechless. "Right? You know your escape techniques have improved, right? From now on, I'll just be a deserter when facing enemies! Thank you, senior brother, for teaching me everything you know!"

Masked man: Why does she sound a bit sarcastic?

"Next time, next time I'll definitely teach you a ruthless move to defeat your enemy!"

Lin Xi was skeptical. "Really?"

"Really, really, you should go back and discuss it with your friends first. Don't go looking for Lu Nan for the next couple of days. Give him some space to think things through."

"If we fail, will you take responsibility?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!"

Lin Xi was satisfied and sent the message to the group.

—It's holiday time!

Anyway, he said that if they let Lu Nan have some space to think for himself, how could he possibly figure it out?

Doesn't this mean the task is forever stuck at the first step and can't be completed? Then what's the difference between their state and being on vacation?

The group rested until 2 p.m. the next day.

Yun reissued the assembly order.

At first, no one believed that Lu Nan would actually agree to do the mission, but when they went up to the sixth floor, it really was him!

Cheng Sheng leaned closer and clicked his tongue for a while, "Lu Nan, is the sun rising in the west? How did you suddenly come to this realization?"

Lu Nan didn't speak, but this time he didn't swear with a cold face.

Cheng Sheng was even more surprised!

Lu Nan actually began to waver after Lin Xi said those words on the first day.

His sister risked her life to save him, so he should do everything in his power to ensure he has the means to survive no matter where he is or what circumstances he faces.

Compared to her cowardly and incompetent brother who only knows how to run away, Beibei wants to see a strong and upright brother.
