He called out to the system in his mind, but received no response.

Su Han cupped Shen Chengyin's face in her hands and gently pressed her forehead against his.

"Shen Chengyin, did you inject yourself with a drug?"

Shen Chengyin couldn't hear it.

He saw his own reflection in Su Han's eyes.

No, it wasn't a shadow, it was himself.

"Shen Chengyin?"

Su Han called out several times but received no response, so she bent down and pressed her face against Shen Chengyin's.

Shen Chengyin's face was burning hot. The extreme pain made him desperately move forward in a humble, almost pleading manner.

Like a cat, she nuzzled Su Han's face with her own.

"Does it hurt? Close your eyes."

Su Han guessed that the other person was probably out of his mind, so she pulled the man into her arms and gently rubbed his temples with both hands.

If Shen Chengyin truly injected the drug voluntarily and preferred to endure such pain rather than use his life-force abilities, wouldn't that mean... Shen Chengyin knew that the drug would awaken his mental abilities?

This can no longer be explained by the reason that "the plot cannot be changed".

Could it be that Shen Chengyin, like him and the system, knows the direction of the subsequent plot development?

The two leaned against each other like that, and finally the man closed his eyes heavily in Su Han's arms, his brows furrowed tightly.

Su Han knew he would have nightmares, so he didn't sleep for the rest of the night.

He held Shen Chengyin's head in his hands and slowly pressed in circles on every spot that might help the other person relax.

Shen Chengyin woke up several times in a fright, wanting to call out Su Han's name.

Su Han pressed his hand against her face and told him, "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."

After struggling until dawn, Shen Chengyin finally did not wake up again.

At six o'clock in the morning, someone knocked on the door, knocking three times properly.

Su Han tried to open the door, but as soon as she moved, she found that the hem of her clothes was being tightly grabbed.

Looking down, Su Han saw Shen Chengyin clutching the hem of his shirt, the wrinkled fabric peeking out from between his fingers. Su Han tried to tug at it a couple of times, but couldn't budge it.

The person outside got impatient and knocked twice more.

"Hello, are you home?"

Su Han was afraid that if the other party continued to knock, it would wake Shen Chengyin up, so she tiptoed to reach for the dagger on the bedside table and swiftly cut off the corner of Shen Chengyin's clothes that he was holding.

He tiptoed out to open the door, and as soon as it opened, he pushed the person outside the door by the shoulder and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Su Han held the person's hand until they were some distance from the dormitory before letting out a sigh of relief and speaking softly:

"What's up?"

He recognized the person who came; he was an ordinary person without any special abilities from the mission hall, surnamed Zhao.

After the apocalypse, these ordinary survivors became the backbone of maintaining order in the city, just like the path Shen Chengyin once led the Hope Base on.

"I have a task to assign to Shen Chengyin."

Old Zhao shoved the map and compass into Su Han's hands, pointing to a circled spot on the map. "Someone brought news that a military factory is hidden here. There's a lot of weaponry inside... The leader specifically requested Shen Chengyin to go."

When Old Zhao said this, there was a hint of suspicion in his tone.

The leader specifically named Shen Chengyin but didn't provide a car, which was a blatant implication that Shen Chengyin was a spatial ability user.

Coupled with the previous rumors surrounding Shen Chengyin, it's hard not to have doubts.

However, they had never seen a dual-elemental ability user before, let alone a dual-elemental ability user with spatial life.

Don't know if it's true or not.

Su Han took the things. "When did the leader say we'd go?"

"The chief commands you to depart today."

"Not today. Shen Chengyin has an upset stomach. He had diarrhea all night and was still catching up on sleep this morning." Su Han waved her hand.

The reason was very plausible, and Lao Zhao couldn't find any fault with it.

In the apocalypse, no one cares whether the food is clean or not; even spoiled food is eaten without hesitation, as long as it fills their stomachs.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who are exhausted from diarrhea.

"Okay, I understand. Remember to register at the mission hall when you set off."

Old Zhao nodded and turned to leave.

Su Han returned to her room with a somber expression.

The task Cheng Yibin assigns them is definitely not a good one.

Military factory...

That place is probably quite dangerous.

If he and Shen Chengyin die outside, it will be exactly what Cheng Yibin wants; if they come back alive, Cheng Yibin will use the excuse that "Shen Chengyin is a space ability user and hoards supplies" to force them to comply.

The amount of weapons in a factory... is beyond what a normal person can imagine.

In a post-apocalyptic world where strength determines everything, everyone understands the importance of firearms. They also understand what it means for someone to possess so many guns.

Even if the superhumans at the Fuxing Base didn't believe Shen Chengyin had dual superhuman abilities, they would still stand on Cheng Yibin's side, adopting the attitude of "better to kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free."

This is a hot potato, but they have no choice but to take it on.

Su Han lay down next to Shen Chengyin again, pulled Shen Chengyin's hand and wrapped it around her waist.

The best solution now is to leave the city, wait for Shen Chengyin to awaken a more aggressive superpower, and then come back to kill Cheng Yibin.

In the original text, after Shen Chengyin awakened his psychic abilities and escaped from the Fuxing Base, he was chased by pursuers to a deep mountain. In his panic, he stumbled upon a village on the mountaintop.

The village was like a paradise, with only a dozen or so households. When the apocalypse came, only three people were infected and turned into zombies, and they were killed by the villagers working together.

The villagers in the mountains were kind and honest. They hadn't left the mountains for two or three years since the apocalypse began, relying on farming to be self-sufficient. The villagers were overjoyed to see that Shen Chengyin was handsome and talented, so they decided to keep him there.

They brought Shen Chengyin food, found him lodging, and chatted with him. Some even wanted to marry their daughters to him.

In just two or three months, he warmed Shen Chengyin's heart again.

Later, the pursuers from the Fuxing Base found this place and threatened to massacre the village if Shen Chengyin was not handed over.

The villagers refused and fought desperately to protect him.

Shen Chengyin knelt down and begged them to spare the villagers' lives, but the earth-type ability user from the Fuxing Base still caused a landslide, burying all the villagers on the cliff.

He was brought back to the Fuxing Base. Cheng Yibin pointed at his nose and mocked, "If it weren't for you, none of the people in that village would have died. Shen Chengyin, you really have caused a lot of harm."

As Su Han recalled this, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

He felt no pain, but at that moment he felt a tightness in his chest, a sour and astringent sensation, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Su Han lowered her head and placed her hand on Shen Chengyin's face.

The man still had a high fever, and his burning body temperature made his fingertips feel weak.

If they are going to leave the revival base this time, they might as well go and hide in the mountain village mentioned in the original text.

This time, with no pursuers, Cheng Yibin wouldn't know about the existence of that village.

Good morning!

System 111 yawned in Su Han's mind, then shuddered at the scene in front of it.

【No? Wait a minute...you guys...are you asleep?】
