141: Chapter 141 Inhuman and Depraved

Then, the chances of survival within the Human Base would be even greater.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but feel jubilant.

No wonder the smile on Deng Jiayu's face hadn't faded.

After Huo Sixian got off the single bed, he asked Ye Qingqing while getting dressed, "How's the situation outside now?"

"Are there many people who fainted?"

Ye Qingqing looked at Huo Sixian and subconsciously averted her gaze.

It wasn't that Ye Qingqing didn't want to look at Huo Sixian, but his current appearance made it hard not to let one's mind wander.

Huo Sixian had an excellent physique, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

The proportions of that waist were just right—the kind of V-cut waist that was very popular before the Post-Apocalyptic World.

Moreover, Huo Sixian's eight-pack abs were perfectly aligned, and the muscles looked very firm.

Next to the eight-pack were blood-pumping serratus muscles; just one look gave a sense of immense power.

By this time, Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan had long since left.

By the time Ye Qingqing snapped out of it, only she and Huo Sixian were left in the room.

Huo Sixian dressed himself unhurriedly.

While walking toward Ye Qingqing.

When the words came out of Huo Sixian's mouth, they sounded a bit improper. Even though they were perfectly serious words, in Ye Qingqing's ears, they sounded a bit suggestive.

"Qingqing, how's the situation outside?"

Ye Qingqing had been backed against the wall by Huo Sixian.

Although she knew Huo Sixian's feelings for her.

Given Huo Sixian's previous behavior, Ye Qingqing had never observed him from such a close distance.

At this moment, Huo Sixian's entire upper body was bare before Ye Qingqing.

His shirt buttons were still unfastened.

Ye Qingqing only felt her ears burning.

Ye Qingqing finally heard her back hit the wall with a thud.

There was no more space to retreat behind her; she was completely pressed against the wall.

A smile played at the corners of Huo Sixian's mouth.

Seeing Ye Qingqing's blushing face, he found her incredibly cute.

There was a hint of seduction in his tone.

"Qingqing, are you shy?"

As Huo Sixian spoke, he propped his hand against the wall beside Ye Qingqing's head.

He lightly placed a hand on Ye Qingqing's chin.

With a slight exert of force from his fingers, he lifted Ye Qingqing's chin.

"Qingqing?"

Ye Qingqing pursed her thin lips and, while looking at Huo Sixian, stomped hard on his foot.

"Hiss." Huo Sixian let out a soft hiss of pain.

"Lu Huan and the others all have fevers. If it's as we thought and they're about to awaken their Superpower, you'd better go take a look quickly."

Ye Qingqing's tone wasn't pleasant at all; she even had anger in her eyes as she looked at Huo Sixian.

This Huo Sixian just now was clearly...!

Blatant seduction!

Pure seduction!

Although Ye Qingqing wasn't someone who was immune to male beauty.

In fact, with a handsome man in front of her, she even felt a bit delighted.

But this person definitely couldn't be Huo Sixian!

After pushing Huo Sixian away, Ye Qingqing stepped on his foot again.

Although Huo Sixian pretended to be in pain on the surface, he was secretly overjoyed.

He had actually touched Ye Qingqing's chin just now.

And he was so close to her.

Ye Qingqing smelled so good.

If Ye Qingqing hadn't said those words just now, Huo Sixian would have definitely been in a good mood all day.

But upon hearing that Lu Huan and the others had fevers, a look of solemnity appeared in Huo Sixian's eyes.

"Where are they now?"

Hearing the seriousness in Huo Sixian's tone.

She lost the mood to tease him.

"At the Hospital, I just sent them there."

Huo Sixian's voice deepened: "Right now, more than half of the people in the base who have fevers have died."

Ye Qingqing gasped when she heard Huo Sixian's words.

"Just now, Professor Deng and Professor Pei drew my blood and took samples from my body for comparison."

"To see what kind of physical fitness is required to awaken a Superpower now."

"If artificial intervention is possible, we can do it directly."

Only then did Ye Qingqing realize the severity of the situation.

She couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Lu Huan and the others.

She didn't know many people in this base to begin with.

In just a short while, the few people she knew had all fainted.

And according to Huo Sixian, there was a high chance they would just die.

Ye Qingqing was a bit frightened by the turn of events.

Without further hesitation, she rushed back to the Hospital.

At this moment, many people were gathered in the Hospital lobby.

Among them, some were there to cause trouble.

"God damn it!"

"My son just had a fever, how could he die after coming to the Hospital!"

Ye Qingqing saw a woman slumped in the Hospital lobby.

Crying heart-wrenchingly, she even held a sign with four large characters: [Losing One's Mind].

She kept wailing that the Hospital had killed someone.

It was clearly just a normal fever, but now the person was dead.

At this time, only a few young nurses were guarding the Hospital lobby.

Looking at the situation, although they were anxious, they were also somewhat helpless.

Meanwhile, more people with fevers were being brought in one after another.

With this woman starting it, others gradually joined her.

Berating the Hospital together.

But the underlying meaning of their words was to demand that the Hospital compensate them with credits and food.

The lobby suddenly turned into a mess.

Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian looked at each other, both seeing helplessness in the other's eyes.

They also felt they had arrived just in time to witness a major scene.

Huo Sixian couldn't tell the survivors in the base about the awakening of Superpowers yet.

Because so far, not a single person in the base with a fever had woken up.

They were all in a coma.

Seeing the situation getting more and more out of hand, Huo Sixian reached out and cast an Electric Net on the ceiling of the Hospital lobby.

If these survivors saw other Soldiers, they might still make a scene.

But now it was Huo Sixian, an Ability User with a Superpower.

The survivors in the lobby all shut their mouths one after another.

Even the woman who was slumped on the ground at the beginning went quiet.

Seeing that everyone was no longer noisy, Huo Sixian withdrew the Electric Net and raised his voice.

"Everyone, I know you are all anxious about your loved ones having fevers."

"But, I believe you have also seen that this fever is not a small-scale cold or fever; so many people in the base have fallen ill at once."

"This matter is very strange. The base is conducting an emergency investigation. We hope the patients' families will not resort to extreme behavior."

"We deeply apologize for the passing of the survivors in the base."

"But, please trust us, trust the base."

Huo Sixian could only offer these high-sounding reasons to comfort the survivors in the base.
