After resting for seven days in the villa, Min Qiu's Five Elements Ability reached level seven before he went to the mission hall to choose a mission. Only through life-and-death trials could his strength be further enhanced.

Min Qiu carefully selected a task issued by the military to collect food.

Three days later, Min Qiu arrived at the base's main gate.

The morning sun was warm and pleasant, and Min Qiu was in a rare good mood.

A gentle breeze carried the fresh scent of grass and trees. The stench of rotting corpses was drowned out by the vast expanse of sky and earth, a faint smell that Min Qiu subconsciously ignored.

The sunlight shone on her body, her pores opened, as if she were breathing in the last purest and cleanest air. The warmth spread to every part of her body, and Min Qiu not only trembled, but also felt so comfortable that she almost cried out.

"So comfortable." Min Qiu closed her eyes, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

The scenery is picturesque, the women are beautiful, the beauty is breathtaking, and it's captivating.

"Shh..." Min Qiu was beautiful and dressed neatly, standing out from the dusty crowd and attracting attention.

Qin Yan was discussing the matter of collecting grain with his hands when he heard the sound and turned around.

"Min Qiu?"

Qin Yan walked over and stood in front of Min Qiu, blocking the sunlight from the rising sun. "Don't follow me anymore. We have nothing to do with each other after that day."

"If you don't look for people, you'll find trouble; if you don't look for trouble, you'll find people." Min Qiu was enjoying the sunshine when, in the next moment, a shadow enveloped her. Min Qiu opened her eyes and glanced upwards.

Qin Yan? What's he doing here?

Oh, right, the task of collecting food was issued by the military, and Qin Yan is the top military officer. If he didn't rush to the front lines with explosives in hand, it would be a disservice to his "hypocritical benevolence" of having the world in his heart, being tough on the outside but kind on the inside, and saving the world.

Before Min Qiu could even finish her sentence, Qin Yan arrogantly mocked her. Even if Qin Yan didn't mean anything by it, every word he uttered was like a nuclear explosion to Min Qiu, shattering her dignity and face.

Ha, follow him? Who does he think he is? A gold digger loved by everyone!

Min Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, murderous intent and brutality raging within them.

"Please move aside, you're sunbathing in front of me."

Qin Yan has many followers and holds a high position of power; it is not advisable to antagonize him.

Min Qiu swallowed her anger.

Seeing Min Qiu's cold attitude and refusal to admit her mistake, Qin Yan felt a surge of anger.

"Min Qiu, I don't want to see you. Leave." As long as you're here, my heart is always uneasy, fearing that you'll stab me in the back and betray my good brother and comrade-in-arms.

Because Min Qiu was a girl, Qin Yan swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Min Qiu stepped back until the sunlight shone on her petite body.

"I'm here to participate in a mission. You can leave if you want, but give me my reward first."

Why wouldn't Min Qiu be happy to get paid for nothing without putting in any effort?

"Join a mission? Didn't you come to find me?"

Qin Yan's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran through his body.

She didn't come to see me! She didn't come to see me!

A night of passion can lead to a hundred nights of affection; Qin Yan couldn't let go of his first woman.

"Why would I look for you? Do we even know each other?" Min Qiu said sarcastically.

Qin Yan gave Min Qiu a meaningful look a few times, then returned to the soldiers' assembly area, looking dejected.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Min Qiu climbed onto the truck and set off for a town several hundred miles away.

"Hey, pretty girl, do you still recognize me?"

Min Qiu entered the truck and closed her eyes to rest. When someone tried to talk to her, she ignored them, as if she were asleep.

"Little beauty, I know you can hear me." The man nudged her. "Little beauty, open your eyes and look at me. I'm the poor thing you tricked."

Did she betray him?

Min Qiu raised her eyelids and saw a handsome man with a devilish air about him.

The man was dressed in black casual clothes. He had delicate features, short hair as black as ink, and a charming phoenix eye that held both laughter and anger, giving the illusion of a beautiful woman's angry rage.

"Who are you?"

Min Qiu suddenly realized, wasn't he the CEO who had acquired all of the Min family's assets?

“You…you…your name is Nangong…”

Seeing Min Qiu's troubled expression, the man kindly offered his help, "Nangong Xuan."

“Yes, it’s Nangong Xuan.” Min Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

Nangong Xuan's lips curled slightly. "Surprised?"

Min Qiu ignored Nangong Xuan's teasing, a fake smile on her face, and spoke in a tone that pretended to be familiar, as if they were two long-lost friends, "Hello, long time no see, how have you been?"

"Not good," Nangong Xuan said bluntly.

Nangong Xuanzhen was not doing well. He had acquired all of the Min family's businesses, and his affairs were numerous and chaotic. He was working day and night and was exhausted. He was unable to enjoy a life of luxury before the apocalypse came.

The beautiful young woman before him had rosy cheeks and neat, clean clothes; she seemed to be doing very well. Without comparison, there is no harm; Nangong Xuan suffered a million points of damage from Min Qiu.

"You've really made my life miserable..." Nangong Xuan kept pouring out his troubles to Min Qiu, who couldn't refuse and could only gently comfort him to think more positively.

Perhaps because they met before the apocalypse, they were considered drinking buddies. Arriving at a town 500 miles away, Nan Gongcheng and Min Qiu formed a team to scavenge for supplies in the deserted town.

"Nangong Xuan, you go over there, I'll watch this side."

In the convenience store, Nangong Xuan was in charge of the east-facing shelves, while the west-facing shelves belonged to Min Qiu.

Min Qiu first secretly put some instant noodles and drinks into her bracelet space before reluctantly packing the remaining supplies into her backpack and transporting them to the truck one by one.

Most of the day had passed, and they had looted all the food and drink in the town.
