142: Chapter 142 Ice Sculpture

Huo Sixian found himself unable to say anything more.

After all, the cause of the fevers among the survivors in the base still hadn't been identified; it was only a preliminary estimate that they were awakening Superpowers.

But... given the current situation, Huo Sixian wasn't entirely sure either.

After dealing with the survivors blocking the hospital entrance, Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing went directly to see Lu Huan, Kong Ziyi, and the others.

In the ward with Lu Huan and Kong Ziyi was someone Ye Qingqing hadn't seen in a long time: Zuo Yuxing.

When Huo Sixian saw Zuo Yuxing, he instinctively looked displeased.

After all, Zuo Yuxing had been his love rival. Although Zuo Yuxing hadn't said anything explicitly, Huo Sixian was a man.

Huo Sixian knew all too well what it meant when a man looked at a woman that way.

Every time Huo Sixian saw Zuo Yuxing looking at Ye Qingqing, there was clearly affection in his eyes.

At this moment, Zuo Yuxing was lying on the bed, his face flushed bright red from the fever, and he let out several uncomfortable murmurs.

In the entire ward, aside from the people lying down, Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing were the only two people standing.

Of course, there was also Ah Huang, watching the scene from the side.

Right now, Zuo Yuxing's entire body was flushed, the redness spreading from his cheeks all the way down to his ankles.

He looked like he had a much higher temperature than the others.

Ye Qingqing couldn't bear to watch, so she took a Cooling patch out of her space and placed it on Zuo Yuxing's forehead.

The moment Ye Qingqing placed the Cooling patch on his forehead, Zuo Yuxing reached out and grabbed her hand.

At the same time, Ye Qingqing also clearly heard the murmurs coming from Zuo Yuxing's mouth.

“Qingqing...”

“Qingqing...”

With her wrist pinned by Zuo Yuxing, Ye Qingqing looked a bit embarrassed.

She felt an extremely intense gaze from behind, staring fixedly at her.

Of course, there was no need to say whose gaze it was.

Huo Sixian's face darkened. He stepped quickly to Ye Qingqing's side, grabbed Zuo Yuxing's hand that was pinning her, and tried to pry it open.

However, Zuo Yuxing's grip was incredibly firm.

Looking at him, it was clear he was terrified that Ye Qingqing would leave.

“Qingqing...”

“Qingqing...”

The murmurs from Zuo Yuxing's mouth continued.

He showed no signs of stopping.

His voice even grew louder, and at the same time, the temperature across Zuo Yuxing's body rose higher and higher.

For a moment, Ye Qingqing felt it was almost burning her hand.

She also began to struggle.

“Zuo Yuxing.”

“Zuo Yuxing.”

But Zuo Yuxing, lost in his coma, didn't hear Ye Qingqing's murmurs at all.

Furthermore, as Zuo Yuxing held Ye Qingqing's hand, she suddenly felt a wave of numbness in her wrist.

It also carried a hint of itchiness.

“Qingqing...”

To her surprise, Ye Qingqing discovered that a circle of fine threads, like Blue Starlight, had wound themselves around her wrist.

Those fine threads also carried a faint blue luster.

It looked like a beautiful painting.

Bit by bit, it slowly transitioned from Zuo Yuxing's palm onto Ye Qingqing's wrist.

Ye Qingqing was momentarily stunned by the sudden change at her wrist.

By the time she tried to pull her wrist out of Zuo Yuxing's palm, it was already too late.

While Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian were surprised, they also confirmed one thing.

The collective fever and coma of the survivors in the base was a large-scale awakening of Superpowers.

However, regarding Zuo Yuxing's awakening, it was truly impossible to tell for the moment what kind of Superpower he was awakening.

More and more Blue Starlight emanated from Zuo Yuxing's hand.

Gradually, specks of Blue Starlight overflowed from his palm and scattered into the air.

The entire ward became filled with blue specks of light.

It was dreamlike and incredibly beautiful; one couldn't help but feel their mood brighten.

Ye Qingqing was closest to Zuo Yuxing, so her experience was the most real.

Ye Qingqing felt the surrounding temperature drop abruptly, and the air around her was no longer hot.

Having been tortured by high temperatures for so long, Ye Qingqing felt as if she were surrounded by cool air.

Ye Qingqing sat inside an Ice sculpture room, eating ice cream while sitting on an Ice sculpture chair.

Looking at the scorching sunlight outside, it was as if it didn't exist at all.

Ye Qingqing felt physically and mentally refreshed.

But...

Gradually, Ye Qingqing sensed something was wrong.

It was clearly a sunny day outside, but why was there no sign of melting in this Ice sculpture room where she was?

Moreover, Ye Qingqing began to feel colder and colder; the originally comfortable air suddenly felt like ice needles.

Every breath drawn into her lungs felt like it was piercing her heart.

Ye Qingqing felt her breath failing her, and her body felt as if it were being frozen solid.

“Woof!”

Suddenly, Ye Qingqing heard a familiar bark.

It was Ah Huang's, but where was Ah Huang?

Ye Qingqing looked around the Ice sculpture room but couldn't find any sign of Ah Huang.

It was at this moment that Ye Qingqing suddenly snapped to her senses.

Wasn't she in the ward?

Then why was she inside this Ice sculpture room now?

Furthermore, it was currently the high-temperature Post-Apocalyptic World; it was impossible for such a large ice sculpture to exist.

None of this was right.

“Woof!”

Ye Qingqing heard Ah Huang's bark once again.

It was only then that Ye Qingqing realized it was all an illusion.

Ah Huang was always inseparable from her.

How could they be separated now?

This had to be an illusion. At that moment, Ye Qingqing suddenly understood; she was originally in the ward, and this illusion appeared only after her wrist came into contact with Zuo Yuxing's Blue Starlight.

Immediately, Ye Qingqing began to feel anxious.

“Zuo Yuxing!”

Ye Qingqing called out anxiously within the ice room.

At the same time, Ye Qingqing heard Huo Sixian's voice by her ear.

“Ye Qingqing!”

The moment Ye Qingqing opened her eyes, she saw that she was being held in Huo Sixian's arms.

Her wrist was still entwined by Zuo Yuxing's Blue Starlight.

And her wrist was still in Zuo Yuxing's palm.

However, Huo Sixian's large hand was now covering Ye Qingqing's wrist.

At the point where Zuo Yuxing held Ye Qingqing's wrist, the Fire-type Ability in Huo Sixian's palm gradually enveloped it.

When the Blue Starlight came into contact with the fireball, its luster gradually faded.

But Zuo Yuxing's hand still didn't let go.

Beside Zuo Yuxing's hospital bed, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Zuo Yuxing, lying on the bed, gripped Ye Qingqing's hand tightly with his right hand.

Ye Qingqing's entire body was trembling, and her face was very pale.

To maintain Ye Qingqing's body temperature, Huo Sixian held her in his arms.

His hand emitted a red fiery glow, dispelling the cold around Ye Qingqing.
