"She will take you to a sealed stone chamber where ordinary people will become superhumans, and superhumans will become even stronger."
Next, she will take out a task book and let you choose a task. After completing the task, you can receive the next pill.
As long as I keep completing the missions, I can keep receiving pills, keep getting stronger, and stop being bullied!
As he got excited, a glint of blood appeared in the man's eyes. He suddenly turned to look at Shen Nanxing and said viciously, "As long as I bring you back, I can get a full ten pills."
"What did you say?" Jiang Nian'an's expression suddenly changed. "Your mission this time is to capture Brother Chen?"
The man, however, once again went mad and stopped answering her questions.
Hehehehe~
He let out a strange laugh. "That way, I won't have to worry about my powers going out of control for the next five months."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Nian'an stepped on the man's chest, "Answer my question!"
The fact that the mastermind was capturing survivors for experiments truly shocked and angered her.
If she were to encounter such a situation, she would do her best to stop the rescue within her capabilities, but if the rescue failed, she could only express her regret.
But if their target is Brother Shen, then she will definitely fight them to the death.
No one can touch the person she protects and loves!
"As long as we capture Shen Nanxing and bring him back, as long as we capture him and bring him back..."
The man's eyes were vacant as he began to repeat the same phrase over and over, his breathing becoming erratic with each word.
Arrest him? They'd need to have the ability to do so.
Judging from the current situation, they clearly don't have that ability.
Shen Nanxing was unmoved by the man's offer to take her back, and even scoffed at it.
But the man's appearance at that moment gave him a bad feeling.
"Get out of the way!"
As the man began to vomit blood and his eyes bulged abnormally, Shen Nanxing grabbed Jiang Nian'an and Xiao Longzhan by the arm and quickly retreated.
Xiao Yin and the other two felt uneasy and immediately moved away after hearing Shen Nanxing's words.
Just as Shen Nanxing led Jiang Nian'an and Xiao Longzhan back five meters, the man began to groan in extreme pain.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light shone from his body, and his body swelled up like an inflated balloon.
"Could this be... the superpower riot he was talking about earlier?"
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing exchanged a glance, then simultaneously raised their hands to create a protective shield in front of them, just in case.
"Sister, brother-in-law, is he about to explode?"
Xiao Longzhan stared wide-eyed as the man seemed to swell up to be another version of himself.
He had lived so long and had never seen anything like it.
Before Jiang Nian'an and the other person could answer, the man answered Xiao Longzhan's question with his actions.
With a loud 'bang', the man's body, which had swelled to its maximum size, exploded.
Jiang Nian'an quickly reached out and covered Xiao Longzhan's eyes, but the next second her eyes were also covered by a warm, large hand.
"Don't look!" Shen Nanxing's voice rang in her ears.
Countless tiny pieces of flesh and blood fell from the air, and the blood quickly stained the earth red.
Many of them landed on the protective shield, leaving streaks of blood.
Shen Nanxing frowned deeply; even he felt that the scene before him was too tragic.
He sighed inwardly, then unleashed lightning, igniting the surrounding grass.
As the fire raged, the traces left by the man gradually disappeared.
Only when no more bits of flesh or blood could be seen, and the smell of blood was replaced by the smell of burning, did Shen Nanxing release his hand from Jiang Nian'an's eyes.
Although all traces were gone, Jiang Nian'an could still imagine how horrific the situation had been.
She stared blankly at the still-burning flames before her, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
"Brother Chen, do you think he thought about what would happen to him today when he took those pills?"
After a long while, Jiang Nian'an lowered her eyes and looked at the ants on the ground who were urgently moving away because of the fire.
"I must have thought of it."
Shen Nanxing pulled her into his arms and gently stroked her back. "But as he said, in this cannibalistic world, without strength, one will be bullied by others."
Therefore, even knowing that the final outcome was death, he had no other choice but to take this path.
Is this the only option?
Jiang Nian'an looked up into the distance and murmured softly.
Everyone has their own choices.
Shen Nanxing looked down at Jiang Nian'an and said slowly, "If it were me, I might have made the same choice as him."
For example, he didn't awaken any special abilities, and he wasn't affiliated with the Shen family.
Jiang Nian'an couldn't help but look up at him, "Even knowing that the final outcome is a tragic death?"
If it were her, knowing that the ending might be so tragic, she would never make the same choice as the man.
She preferred to seek other ways to make herself stronger and to survive.
It's better than ending up with no trace of your remains.
"Um."
Shen Nanxing placed a kiss on Jiang Nian'an's forehead, and his answer was exactly the opposite of hers: "Because not making this choice may not necessarily lead to a good ending."
Besides, there are people I need to protect.
The person they're protecting...
Jiang Nian stared intently at Shen Nanxing, her resolve suddenly wavering.
"The people behind the scenes really understand human nature."
Shen Nanxing gently stroked Jiang Nian'an's face, understanding her thoughts from her gaze, and felt a sudden surge of emotion welling up inside him.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with unspoken tenderness.
"An'an, remember this: between you and me, you will always come first. If anything happens to me, you are not allowed to risk your life."
Jiang Nian'an looked at him.
I really want to ask, then why was he willing to risk his life for her...?
But Jiang Nian'an only moved her lips in the end, without actually asking the question.
Because the answer was already in her heart.
He loved her more than he loved himself.
"Then you need to protect yourself, otherwise—"
Jiang Nian'an poked Shen Nanxing's chest intermittently with her hand, then looked up at him.
Everything is understood without words.
Shen Nanxing didn't say anything, but hugged Jiang Nian'an even tighter.
Xiao Longzhan stood beside the two of them and sighed helplessly.
He didn't understand; he really didn't understand.
Why does everything always end up with them being all lovey-dovey?!
