"benefactor?"
Seeing that Jiang Nian'an remained silent for a long time, Qin Ran called out to her.
Jiang Nian'an snapped out of her daze, turned to look at the villa area, and reminded him, "Something's not quite right over there either."
Even if something's not right, it's definitely better than the situation below.
The man next to Qin Ran said dismissively, and Qin Ran did not refute him.
He clearly thought so too.
"Then it's up to you."
Jiang Nian'an didn't try to persuade her anymore; life and death are predestined.
"Then you guys go up first, we'll go down and take a look."
Jiang Nian'an said something to Qin Ran, then took Shen Nanxing's hand and walked downstairs.
More than wondering why the base team hadn't come to investigate, she was curious about what was happening down below.
"Oh, my benefactor—"
Seeing that the two not only did not dodge but also took the initiative to meet them, Qin Ran couldn't help but want to step forward to stop them.
In his view, no matter how strong the two of them were, they would be no match for tens of thousands of zombies.
Jiang Nian'an was his savior, so naturally he didn't want to see anything happen to her.
"Wait, Qin Ran!"
The man next to him pulled him back.
"Let's go up and find a suitable place to hide. If those two manage to escape up here later, at least we'll have a place to hide."
Qin Ran paused, thought for a moment, nodded to the man beside her, and then called out to Shen Nanxing and the other man, who were almost out of sight.
“Benefactors, let’s go up to find a hiding place. If you find anything wrong, come up quickly.”
Jiang Nian'an didn't say anything, but waved to him with her back turned.
Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had responded to him, and quickly turned around and headed towards the villa area.
Shen Nanxing glanced back discreetly.
An'an is not one to meddle in other people's business. Apart from that little kid who didn't know any better last time, she has never been seen to save anyone else on her own initiative.
But just now, she took the initiative to save this man named Qin Ran.
He pursed his lips and asked casually, "An'an, why did you save him just now?"
After asking the question, Shen Nanxing stared intently at Jiang Nian'an, not wanting to miss a single change in her expression.
There's no particular reason.
Jiang Nian'an took his arm, her eyes cold. "I just can't stand seeing someone who gives their heart and soul only to be betrayed in the end."
Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Shen Nanxing felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart.
"An'an, who betrayed you? Tell me, and I'll kill him!"
Upon hearing Shen Nanxing's words, Jiang Nian'an smiled brightly and leaned her head against his arm, saying, "I've already taken my revenge~"
"but--"
She straightened up and turned to look at Shen Nanxing. "I have another matter to discuss with Shanshi."
Shen Nanxing stopped and gently placed his hands on her shoulders, his expression unusually serious. "Tell me, and I will definitely get it done for you."
Jiang Nian'an then briefly recounted her prepared explanation to Shen Nanxing.
Upon hearing this, Shen Nanxing's face suddenly darkened, his dark pupils flashing with a scarlet blood light, and a violent killing intent roared wildly within his body.
"I want him dead!"
"Of course he has to die!"
Jiang Nian'an's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Although he didn't succeed at the time, who knows how many innocent people this scum would harm if he lived!"
in addition..."
Jiang Nian'an changed the subject, her expression softening, "Brother Chen, if Long Zhan's family is still alive, I'd like to take them to Beijing as well."
"good."
Shen Nanxing nodded without hesitation, "They will be honored guests of the Shen family. I will ensure they have enough to eat and wear and live a peaceful life."
"Mmm!" Jiang Nian'an threw herself into Shen Nanxing's arms. "Brother Shen, you're so good~"
Shen Nanxing hugged her back, gently stroking her back, his eyes filled with doting affection and tenderness.
"If only we had met sooner."
In that case, his daughter An'an wouldn't have to suffer these hardships.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian'an shook her head slightly and tiptoed to kiss him on the corner of his lips.
In this life, they met early enough.
"Hopefully they're all at the Shanshi base, so we don't have to go through the trouble of searching for them."
After a while, Jiang Nian'an stepped out of Shen Nanxing's arms and pulled him to continue walking down.
"Don't worry, even if I have to search the entire city, I will find them."
A determined glint flashed in Shen Nanxing's eyes as he began to plan how to mobilize manpower in Beijing for a large-scale search.
Jiang Nian'an didn't say anything, but she tightened her grip on Shen Nanxing's hand even more.
"roar--"
After the two descended a dozen or so steps, a level two earth-type zombie pounced on them from below.
Yellow sand flowed from its dark blue claws as it swung them forcefully at the two men.
For a moment, the two felt as if they were in the eye of a sandstorm.
Just as Shen Nanxing was about to make a move, Jiang Nian'an grabbed him.
"Save your superpowers just in case. I have a way."
She produced an apple in her hand, waved it forward twice, aimed it, and then smashed it outwards with force.
The apple flew out with a 'whoosh'.
With a loud 'bang!', the sandstorm suddenly disappeared.
Their vision cleared again.
The earth-type zombie had a large apple stuffed in its mouth.
While gagging, it was using its two paws to forcefully pry the apple out.
Jiang Nian'an raised an eyebrow at Shen Nanxing, "How is it?"
"sharp!"
Shen Nanxing looked at him with doting eyes and said with a smile, "You've learned another trick from An'an."
Jiang Nian'an smiled even more happily and took out the weapon she had taken from the museum earlier from her spatial storage.
"Let's go check out the situation and get some level-two crystal cores while we're at it."
She handed the broadsword to Shen Nanxing, while she took the lighter longsword.
"good!"
With a single slash of his sword, Shen Nanxing sent the earth-elemental zombie's head flying into the air.
After digging out the crystal core, the two grabbed their weapons and rushed downwards.
