The woman strolled out of the cave, absentmindedly smoothing the fur around her body.
She was being chased by zombies and accidentally fell off a cliff, but luckily she was almost 100% lucky and escaped unharmed.
Without a doubt, it was the man in front of her who saved her.
Her gaze fell on the man's face, and his profile automatically opened.
Name: Qin Qiu.
Special Ability: Trait-based, greatly enhances physical abilities, Level 5.
The side effect is memory loss.
Temperament: Simple-minded like a small animal, easily trusted, and afraid of losing memories.
...
She checked the favorability rating again, and it was already at 60%. It was really not challenging at all.
She noticed that the man's gaze was still fixed on her, as if he was waiting for an answer.
The woman replied dismissively, "What good will it do to know? I'll just forget about it again anyway."
The man paused for a moment, then asked, "You...know me?"
The woman played along: "Yes, your name is Qin Qiu, and you're the brother I recognized at the base."
“Look, that base over there on the other side of the mountain, we all came from there.”
There's a 70% truth and a 30% falsehood in what she said; a woman confident in herself won't make a mistake.
Sure enough, the man had no doubt: "Qin Qiu... thank you for helping me remember my name."
He knew he wouldn't just casually adopt someone as his sister; this woman must be very important to him.
Since fate has given him another chance to meet, he must seize it.
"I will protect you, just like before."
The woman smiled charmingly and gently stroked the man's cheek: "From now on, you only need to remember me, that's enough."
"Do you understand?"
The man nodded, and it seemed as if an invisible chain was fastened around his neck.
One end of the chain was held in the woman's fair and jade-like hand.
The temperature difference between day and night made the woman feel uncomfortable, and she missed the dog that had always been unconditionally obedient to her.
They would present her with fine silks and satins, and delicacies she had never enjoyed in the real world.
Arriving in the apocalypse, she lived a life she had never known before.
Seriously, why hasn't anyone come to rescue her yet?
She longed for the man who had followed her foolishly since the orphanage to arrive soon.
It would be best to bring her favorite silk dress.
The woman had no choice but to wrap herself tightly in the rough and heavy fur, and she cursed inwardly.
"It stinks!"

After saying that, he squatted down at a 90-degree angle, his leg muscles tensed exaggeratedly, and then jumped vertically in an instant.
He actually jumped more than ten meters high with Ye Nianzhen in his arms!
At the highest point of the jump, the man dug his fingers deep into the rock face and, like a nimble feline, began to climb rapidly upwards.
Ye Nianzhen, who was held firmly in his arms with one hand: Wow.
Isn't this more thrilling than a drop tower?
Soon—not much slower than Ye Nianzhen's fall—the two reached the mountaintop.
The vegetation on the mountaintop was in a mess, with charred black spots radiating outwards from a certain point.
I wonder what kind of fire-type ability user spontaneously combusted here.
Ye Nianzhen got down from Qin Qiu's arms and observed the surrounding environment.
The three people's footprints were scattered in all directions, indicating that they had searched for a rescue plan in the vicinity.
Or rather, what's the plan for collecting the body?
Ye Nianzhen couldn't resist a self-deprecating remark and turned to Qin Qiu, suggesting, "It looks like they're not here. Why don't we go check out the base?"
The man nodded: "I'll do whatever you say."
Ye Nianzhen frowned on one eyebrow: "How can you listen to everything I say? You also need to think for yourself."
The man tilted his head slightly, puzzled: "But...you are my brain."
Ye Nianzhen: "..."
Well, they've shot themselves in the foot.
Alright, alright, let's postpone discussing the issue of the team members' initiative.

The two arrived at the base and did not encounter any more zombies or people along the way.
Ye Nianzhen opened the underground passage with practiced ease. The boy guarding the entrance was initially startled, but after recognizing who it was, he smiled with delight.
"Big sister! You're alright, that's so good!"
Ye Nianzhen ruffled the boy's fluffy hair: "Of course, my sister said I'm very capable."
The boy, somewhat embarrassed, dodged away and ran into the burrow to relay the message to the others.
Ye Nianzhen shrugged and walked inside.
Halfway there, hurried footsteps echoed through the passage, and a familiar voice called out from afar: "Ye Nianzhen!"
It was Luo Shui. He ran over, affectionately put his arm around Ye Nianzhen's shoulder, and said in a carefree manner, "I knew you were lucky and would be alright!"
He appeared calm, but the fingers on Ye Nianzhen's shoulder were trembling slightly.
But he couldn't get close to Ye Nianzhen for long before a long, strong hand grabbed his wrist and forcibly pulled him off Ye Nianzhen.
Qin Qiu said expressionlessly, "That's extremely rude."
In his memory, one must be polite to women and not make any unauthorized physical contact.
Luo Shui got a little angry: "Who are you?!"
Ye Nianzhen could only reassure both sides, saying, "It's alright, we're all teammates, it's only right to be close."
Luo Shui said proudly, "See that? He's so tall. Even Captain Ye said it's good enough."
Qin Qiu didn't speak, but blinked thoughtfully.
Ye Nianzhen got down to business: "Luo Yu, where is Mingyuan? Where did he go?"
Luo Shui looked a little dejected: "I'm not really sure either. Ever since you fell off the cliff, he's been running around outside."
Ye Nianzhen hesitated for a moment: "That won't do."
The outside is teeming with mutated creatures, and the reason for the previous zombie outbreak has not been determined, so there may still be lingering dangers.
"I'm going to find him."
Qin Qiu snapped out of her daze: "I'll go too."
Luo Shui couldn't help but retort, "What are you going to do? You don't even know him, how are you going to find him?"
Qin Qiu glanced down at him and said, "I can use my nose."
After saying that, he turned to Ye Nianzhen and asked, "Is there anything he usually uses?"
Yeh Nien-jen: "Is his backpack okay? It should still be in the cave."
"Can."
So the three of them went into the cave, and sure enough, their luggage was still in the same place, untouched by anyone.
Qin Qiu picked up Mingyuan's luggage, smelled it, and nodded: "It's fine."
Luo Shui was skeptical: "Is it really that powerful...?"
Qin Qiu ignored him and only looked at Ye Nianzhen, waiting for her to give orders.
Ye Nianzhen was indeed very anxious, but before that, there seemed to be other things that needed to be resolved.
"Um, Luo Yu, do you have any extra clothes?"
Qin Qiu lived a wild life in the mountains, and was used to not wearing clothes, only covering himself with some leaves.
Since I came in, I've already attracted a lot of curious glances.
Luo Shui understood Ye Nianzhen's meaning, but he didn't have any extra clothes.
They could only take a few items out of Mingyuan's backpack, but... the size difference was too great.
When Qin Qiu put it on, it felt restrictive, as it was too short in every way.
