Xu Qian changed her clothes and walked out in high heels.
She was almost being molded into a miniature Mrs. Tang by Mrs. Tang, her killing intent contained within her, waiting to erupt.
She had never forgotten what she needed to do.
Conquer the twin brothers, find the remaining three of the Ten Great Powerhouses when she had time, complete the system-assigned tasks to end the apocalypse, and go to Country D to find Xiao Nian.
Four years had passed, she wondered how Xiao Nian was doing now.
Although Country D was an enemy nation, it was the safest one.
It had never been invaded by zombies, making it suitable for someone like Xiao Nian with congenital heart disease. Moreover, her attending physician was there, so she was relieved.
Before completing the system's tasks, she dared not bring her over.
She was alone; if she died, the system would find a way to resurrect her.
But Xiao Nian couldn't; she absolutely could not tolerate that.
From afar, looking out of the car, the girl tilted her head slightly, standing in the shade of a tree, staring at the scorching sun.
The sun was intense, blazing down on her. She seemed ethereal, like an immortal.
Tang Zhishen's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he called out coldly, "Xu Qian!"
Xu Qian's icy gaze softened slightly, and she quickly got into the car.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ever since Xu Qian gave him a chance, his attitude had become slightly warmer than before, at least he talked more.
"Do you have any way to get to Country D?"
The man frowned, "Why the sudden question?"
"I was just asking casually, can't I?"
Xu Qian lightly tapped the furrow between his brows.
He obediently relaxed his brow and sighed, "After the apocalypse, international flight routes were disrupted. They can come here, but we can't go there."
Xu Qian nodded without speaking.
Seeing her dejected mood, Tang Zhishen gently comforted her, "If you really want to go, it's not impossible, but it's very dangerous."
The girl shook her head, her expression returning to normal.
"I was just asking. I don't have the time or energy for that."
It took a 10-hour flight from Country Z to Country D, let alone Country D. She didn't want to walk into a trap.
The man said nothing more, taking her hand and placing it on his thigh, patting it gently.
They had arrived at the meeting room of the Guangming Base long ago.
Xu Qian's eyes widened slightly. The two of them actually came in person.
"Mr. Tang."
They shook hands and chatted for a few moments.
Xiang Jintian, his expression unchanged, got straight to the point, "The gasoline has been delivered to your base's warehouse. Mr. Tang, please check it. Each box weighs 30 kilograms."
"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to check it. Let's sit and chat for a bit."
The four of them sat down, and the three of them began to discuss various base matters, from trivial to significant.
During this time, Ah Bai didn't even glance at her. She knew Jin Tian was an old fox, but Ah Bai's demeanor had truly changed a lot.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and a man of exceptionally tall stature entered to report. His voice was low, "Mr. Tang, the count is done. The quantity is correct."
Tang Zhishen was startled and looked up at him.
"When did you get back?"
The man chuckled but then stifled it upon seeing the outsiders.
"I just got back today."
The familiar conversation made Xu Qian involuntarily shift her gaze to the "new" man.
The man was exceptionally tall, with dark skin. His phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, giving him a particularly unrestrained aura.
He must have had many women.
"Hey, is this Xu Qian? She's so beautiful!"
This remark caused the three men present to frown simultaneously.
A system reminder sounded, and her friend bonus immediately increased by 10 points.
Xu Qian didn't feel much. Xie Shi, a friend she would need to get to know.
"Hello, Xu Qian."
"Hello, I'm Xie Shi."
Xie Shi's phoenix eyes sparkled, clearly eager to continue the conversation, such a beautiful lady.
But... he felt a chill down his spine.
