Chapter 1165
Xiao Sheng was well protected by Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia during the storm and was not injured.
After experiencing this disaster, he became even more taciturn, spending most of his time indoors and rarely speaking, only occasionally sitting by the window, staring blankly outside.
That day, Zhou Shuwan was organizing supplies in her room when she suddenly felt a gaze watching her from outside the door.
A thought struck her, and she "saw" Xiao Sheng standing at their door, staring intently at the door, lost in thought.
Sunlight shone on him, outlining his thin figure. His eyes were calm and deep, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Anyone who saw this would think that this teenager was a bit strange, standing in a daze at someone else's door.
But Zhou Shuwan instantly understood his purpose.
She and Xiao Sheng possess different "talents".
She relies on the spatial collection function to perceive the surrounding environment, while Xiao Sheng has an unusually keen sense of smell, which allows him to detect odors and environmental changes that ordinary people cannot detect.
They had placed ice in their house, making the temperature significantly lower than the surrounding rooms. The chill and unique scent emanating from the ice must have been detected by Xiao Sheng's keen sense of smell, which is why he came here to verify it.
Zhou Shuwan's heart tightened, and she immediately made a wary gesture towards Qi Mingyu.
Although Qi Mingyu didn't know who was outside the door, he immediately became alert upon seeing Zhou Shuwan's serious expression and quietly reached his hand to his waist behind his back.
There was a small pistol tucked there, which was his self-defense weapon that he always carried with him.
The two waited quietly behind the door, wondering what Xiao Sheng would do next.
If he knocks on the door to ask, or tells Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia about it, how should they explain it?
Once the secret of the ice cubes is exposed, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, and they will face big trouble.
However, Xiao Sheng only stood at the door for a moment before turning around and leaving silently, without knocking or making any unusual moves.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xiao Sheng leave.
Qi Mingyu looked at Zhou Shuwan with suspicion: "Who's outside the door? What's going on?"
Zhou Shuwan told Qi Mingyu what she had just seen and her guesses.
"Xiao Sheng? He can actually smell the presence of ice?" Qi Mingyu frowned slightly, somewhat incredulous: "Is it really possible for someone to detect these subtle environmental changes just by smelling them?"
“There are many inexplicable things in this world!” Zhou Shuwan shook her head, her tone somewhat wistful: “I myself am an exception, so it’s not unbelievable that Xiao Sheng has such talent.”
Qi Mingyu was silent for a moment, then said, "We need to keep a close eye on him and see what he does!"
Zhou Shuwan nodded solemnly.
She didn't want to hurt anyone, but she also didn't want to be a victim!
Over the next few days, Zhou Shuwan kept a close eye on Xiao Sheng's movements.
She noticed that Xiao Sheng was still as taciturn as before, spending most of his time in his room, rarely going out, and rarely communicating with Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia.
When he occasionally spoke to Zhang Jia, it was always just a few simple words, and he never mentioned anything unusual about their family.
Seeing this, Zhou Shuwan gradually felt relieved, but she still had some uncertainty in her heart.
Did Xiao Sheng genuinely not take this matter to heart, or was he deliberately hiding it?
That day, while Zhou Shuwan was tidying up her space, she suddenly seemed to be deep in thought and took out two geography books and a worn-out Transformer from her space.
That geography book introduces the geographical features and natural landscapes of various parts of the world, which should be very appealing to children growing up in a post-apocalyptic world.
The Transformer was a toy he had collected before. Although it was a bit worn, it could still transform, which might bring Xiao Sheng some more fun.
