Residential building.
Because the old locust tree fled, the vines that had been attacking Gu Shaoyan and Jiang Sinian also withdrew.
The two emerged from the residential building in a disheveled state, but fortunately, it seemed that all the other living things in the village had become food for the old locust tree.
Gu Shaoyan and Jiang Sinian frowned simultaneously as they looked at Qin Nuan lying unconscious beside the car.
Gu Shaoyan immediately rushed over to wake Qin Nuan, grabbing her by the neck and asking, "Where's Qin Wan?"
What did you do to her?
The intense feeling of suffocation made Qin Nuan painfully grab Gu Shaoyan's hand, trying to make him let go of her.
At this moment, Jiang Sinian stepped forward and said, "You should let her go first, otherwise she won't be able to answer you."
Gu Shaoyan forcefully shoved Qin Nuan away, and Qin Nuan fell to the ground in a disheveled state. Sharp pain surged through her limbs, and overwhelming hatred filled her eyes.
"Speak!" Accompanying Gu Shaoyan's voice was a scorching heat.
"ah!"
Qin Nuan looked up and saw a burning fireball in front of her, and she screamed in fright.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"I said it, okay?!"
Qin Nuan pointed tremblingly in the direction Qin Wan and the old locust tree had gone, "She chased after that mutated plant in that direction."
"I don't know anything else. Qin Wan knocked me unconscious. She's the one who made me like this."
Upon learning of Qin Wan's whereabouts, Gu Shaoyan ignored Qin Nuan's hateful words, got up immediately, got into his car, and drove off in the direction Qin Nuan had indicated.
Jiang Sinian: "..." He hadn't even gotten on the bus yet.
Watching the car disappear quickly ahead, Jiang Si sighed and walked up to Qin Nuan.
"Get up."
Qin Nuan looked at him with red eyes and teary vision, her eyes filled with a mixture of resentment and grievance.
Jiang Sinian merely frowned. "Aren't you leaving?"
“Si Nian, I’m in pain…” Qin Nuan choked out.
Jiang Sinian nodded to indicate that he understood, and then, without looking back, he chased after Gu Shaoyan in the direction he had left.
Qin Nuan: "!!!"
Watching Jiang Sinian's heartless departure, Qin Nuanqi trembled with anger.
"Si Nian, you can't abandon me! I saved your life!"
"Jiang Sinian, I saved your life!"
Watching Jiang Sinian's resolute back, Qin Nuan roared hysterically.
"Jiang Sinian, you can't do this to me, you can't!"
"Jiang Sinian!!!"
However, no matter how much she screamed, Jiang Sinian never turned around to look at her, let alone stopped to wait for her.
In the very end, she watched Jiang Sinian's figure gradually disappear into the distance, almost completely vanishing from her sight.
Seeing this, Qin Nuan finally realized the danger. Despite the intense pain, she staggered to her feet.
She stumbled and staggered after Jiang Sinian's retreating figure, looking disheveled.
She can't die!
Qin Wan isn't dead yet, how can she die!
This village is home to the most powerful mutated plants and animals from the early days of the apocalypse. Even if Qin Wan is incredibly powerful, she can't fight against so many powerful creatures.
Moreover, the old locust tree had countless vines, and the cat had awakened a powerful mental attack.
Later, in the middle of the apocalypse, so many people with superpowers came and were controlled by that cat. How could Qin Wan be the exception?
The thought of seeing Qin Wan's corpse or her tragic state soon made Qin Nuan feel much less pain and quickened her pace.
Outside the villa.
When Gu Shaoyan arrived, Qin Wan was sitting on the wall, holding a small white kitten in her arms and stroking it intermittently.
The kitten was stiff all over and forced to stay in Qin Wan's arms, not daring to move.
Behind the two, the old locust tree stood upright, just like the pine and cypress trees on the mountaintop... which was quite funny.
Are you alright?
Gu Shaoyan hurriedly got out of the car and ran towards Qin Wan.
Qin Wan shook her head. "I'm fine. Why are you alone? Where's Jiang Sinian?"
As she spoke, Qin Wan looked behind Gu Shaoyan with surprise.
[Gu Shaoyan's favorability decreased by 2, current favorability is 63.]
"Are you that concerned about Jiang Sinian?"
After looking Qin Wan up and down and confirming that she was really alright, Gu Shaoyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, Gu Shaoyan became very unhappy when he thought of Jiang Sinian, whom Qin Wan had mentioned.
He was so worried about Qin Wan, fearing that something might happen to her.
Jiang Sinian, however, remained unhurried, showing no sign of caring about or worrying about Qin Wan.
As it turned out, Qin Wan didn't appreciate his kindness and remained indifferent to his concern.
She actually went to check on that bastard Jiang Sinian right in front of him?
Jiang Sinian was not worthy of the title.
"I didn't." Qin Wan frowned, looking at Gu Shaoyan with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding why he asked that question.
"If you don't care about him, why are you asking him?"
"Didn't you see the anxiety on my face?"
"Can't you see how worried I am about you?"
"Didn't you see how panting and disheveled I looked?"
Why don't you care about me?
Why are you concerned about Jiang Sinian?
"No, let me explain..." Qin Wan was also helpless looking at Gu Shaoyan's accusing face.
That's not what she meant.
She was simply curious.
Gu Shaoyan and Jiang Sinian entered the residential building together; in a sense, the two men were inseparable.
Suddenly, she saw Gu Shaoyan driving up to find her, and she thought Jiang Sinian had run away with Qin Nuan or something.
She was genuinely just curious...
I wonder if Jiang Sinian has lost his mind, and if Qin Nuan has successfully bewitched him.
However, Gu Shaoyan, who was so immersed in his feelings of grievance that he could not extricate himself, seemed not to hear her interruption and continued to mutter to himself.
"I'm such a clean person."
"Because I was worried about you, I didn't even bother to wipe my face or hands with a wet wipe."
"Look at my dirty coat, I can't even bear to waste the time to take it off."
"Qin Wan, I've been so good to you, why do you only see Jiang Sinian?"
"What's so good about Jiang Sinian? He's just good-looking with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth."
“If this were before the apocalypse, it would be one thing. He was, after all, the heir of the Jiang family and the CEO of the Jiang Group. If you cared about him, I could understand.”
"After all, in modern society, everything is geared towards making money..."
"But Qin Wan, let me tell you, I, Gu Shaoyan, am no less capable."
"Don't let my appearance fool you; I may seem like just a male actor or entertainer in the entertainment industry, someone who's only just started to gain popularity."
"But that's just the surface. Let me tell you, there are plenty of men and women in the entertainment industry who want to take advantage of me."
Do you know why I've always been able to get away with it and maintain a clean reputation?
"Because I, Gu Shaoyan, am not a simple person, not someone they can bully or suppress at will!"
"I, Gu Shaoyan, am a man of considerable influence..."
Qin Wan: "..."
