Upon descending the stairs, Min Qiu immediately saw Qin Yan in a disheveled state. Qin Yan's hair was scorched and frizzy, and he had deep and shallow wounds that bled profusely, especially on his left abdomen. His large left hand was tightly pressed against the wound, and thick blood was still seeping out.

As Qin Yan was heading in front of it, a charred and terrifying zombie roared, followed by a horde of zombies that slowly and persistently walked towards him.

Min Qiu frowned, thinking to herself, maybe she should just leave.

In his previous life, there were seven powerful figures in the apocalypse. Their strength was unmatched, and they were the supreme gods in the hearts of all superhumans and ordinary people. Qin Yan was one of them.

Min Qiu had lived at the Changlin base for several years, so she naturally knew the base commander, Qin Yan. Instead of staying in a nice presidential suite, she chose to live in this small rented room, hoping to lend a helping hand to Qin Yan in his time of need.

In the early days of the apocalypse, Qin Yan was merely the commander of the Changlin Base, in charge of its military forces and dedicated to saving the people from suffering. Rumor has it that while rescuing survivors in X City, Qin Yan was ambushed by a level-two lightning-type zombie and besieged by a horde of zombies, sustaining severe injuries and nearly dying, enduring an extremely difficult period.

Min Qiu's short stay in X City was undoubtedly motivated by the desire to curry favor with a powerful figure.

In the years following the apocalypse, Changlin Base remained impregnable, having withstood several zombie hordes, making it an ideal place to live long-term. Moreover, the benefits for her if she saved the future base commander, Qin Yan, were self-evident. Min Qiu wasn't afraid of trouble, but she disliked it; having someone to protect her was always better than being alone and attracting unwanted attention.

Weighing the pros and cons, Min Qiu jumped down from the second floor and stood in front of Qin Yan.

"Little girl, it's dangerous here, you should leave quickly." Qin Yan was stunned by Min Qiu's dazzling appearance and, after a moment of hesitation, urged her to hide in a safe place.

Unmoved, Min Qiu stomped his foot, and a dozen giant trees burst from the ground, blocking the zombies from all directions. Seeing that there was no immediate danger behind him, Min Qiu charged towards the level two lightning-type zombie, his golden hands striking the zombie's brain in a circular motion.

"Dong." It sounded like an ancient bell, extremely jarring.

The sound disappeared, leaving a fist-sized hole in the head of the level 2 lightning-type zombie.

Min Qiu shook her numb right hand, and her usually calm black eyes welled up with excitement.

"Ah, after spending so many years in the apocalypse, fighting and killing are still the most suitable for me."

Standing to the side, Qin Yan witnessed Min Qiu's immense fighting prowess and felt a surge of excitement, as if he were witnessing a clash between two equally powerful individuals. He shifted his stance, ready for a battle.

Unable to ignore the intense gazes behind her, Min Qiu turned around and gave Qin Yan a cold look.

"He's jealous of me, and he wants to kill me?"

One should always be wary of others; Qin Yan's intense gaze made Min Qiu want to kill him.

"What are you going to do?" Considering that Qin Yan was the head of the Changlin Base and her future landlord, Min Qiu reluctantly gave Qin Yan a chance to explain.

"You're so strong." Qin Yan's three words were enough to sum up a thousand words.

Min Qiu suddenly remembered something, and then felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. Qin Yan seemed to be a battle maniac, who loved to fight strong opponents; he was treating her as an opponent.

"I don't want to fight you." Min Qiu looked Qin Yan up and down. "You're too weak."

Min Qiu's five-star superpowers are all at level five, while Qin Yan's superpowers are still hovering around level two. The two are truly worlds apart, with a vast difference in strength.

Qin Yan smiled and said, "Words are no proof; let's see what you've got!"

After saying that, Qin Yan moved, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Min Qiu was speechless after reading it.

This man... is truly remarkable!

Looking up at the small rented room she used to live in, Min Qiu sighed.

A day later, Qin Yan woke up. Half a month later, Qin Yan recovered from his injuries.

"Xiao Qiu, my superpower is level three now, come and fight me!"

Between life and death, Qin Yan's superpower leveled up to level three.

Min Qiu ate her hot instant noodles without giving Qin Yan a single glance.

"Xiao Qiu, are you really not going to fight me?"

"Don't fight, it's a waste of energy."

After finishing her instant noodles, Min Qiu began her daily training, running downstairs to kill zombies and level up. Qin Yan, feeling awkward, followed closely behind; how could a grown man lose to a woman?

Ji Xiaoxiao watched the two work together seamlessly, killing countless zombies, and smiled sinisterly.

Judging from the original owner's memories, the two of them are about to suffer a great deal.

"Just thinking about it makes me a little excited, I'm about to get a nosebleed."
