148: Chapter 148 realized the seriousness of the situation.

These ropes looked like circles of blue halos.

But the moment those ropes were placed on them, the subdued people couldn't move at all.

In fact, with every struggle, the ropes tightened further.

The screams and roars coming from those troublemaking Ability Users became even more intense.

Even so, the shouting from these troublemakers did not diminish.

If anything, the cursing and roaring grew even more fierce.

Some even spat directly at Huo Sixian and Zuo Yuxing.

"What right do you have to arrest me!"

"I'm an Ability User! You're supposed to give me preferential treatment!"

"Without us, let's see how you're going to kill the zombies!"

Hearing these words, Huo Sixian and Zuo Yuxing only felt like laughing.

This was human nature.

Before these people awakened their Superpowers, every single one of them acted submissively.

They were terrified of having no food to eat or water to drink.

But now that they had awakened their Superpowers, it was like a rebound from rock bottom.

Once they awakened their Superpowers, the seeds of evil that had long been festering in their hearts instantly erupted.

Once these people from the lowest rungs of the base gained power, the first thing they did was hurt those who used to be just like them.

They would even harm those even lower than themselves.

Because they had experienced days of being weaponless and at the mercy of others.

So they knew that such people were the easiest to bully.

Huo Sixian stepped on the first man who had set the fire.

"You like playing with fire that much?"

Huo Sixian's expression was exceptionally somber.

There was even a hint of wicked charm in his look.

He was already in a bad enough mood after seeing Ye Qingqing injured.

But he hadn't expected these people to choose such a time to cause trouble.

In the Hospital lobby, medical staff had already stepped forward to check the wounds of the woman burned by the fire.

Among them was even an Ability User who had just awakened their Superpower.

The Platinum Luster radiating from that person was exactly the same as Su Miaomiao's.

That person was also a doctor, wearing white coats.

Huo Sixian watched as the male doctor slowly released a Platinum Luster from his hands.

As the Platinum Luster enveloped the woman.

The burns on the woman's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The bloody, raw wounds burned into her skin also recovered.

Her skin gradually became as good as new, making it impossible to tell she had ever been injured.

Seeing this, a smile curled on Huo Sixian's lips, but it was a very chilling one.

Huo Sixian spoke slowly, "Everyone, I believe you've all seen. Among those in the base who were feverish and unconscious, some have withstood the high-heat burning and awakened a Superpower. Of course, others have unfortunately passed away."

Huo Sixian paused slightly at this point.

He glanced around at his surroundings.

Then he continued, "If a Superpower is used well, it is for saving people. But if used poorly, it results in people like those under my feet."

"As you all saw just now, this man awakened a Fire-type Ability like mine, yet he used it to assault that lady."

"Fortunately, with the help of a Healing-type Ability User, this lady was spared."

"Therefore..."

As Huo Sixian said this, a cold sneer appeared on his lips.

He applied more pressure with his foot on the man who had set the fire.

"This man deserves punishment."

After Huo Sixian finished speaking, he immediately released his foot.

Then, he formed a massive fireball in his hand and hurled it directly at the man.

When the man saw the Fire-type Ability ball flying toward him, he instantly lost his composure.

He screamed in terror, "No!"

"Ah!"

"Spare me!"

But Huo Sixian was already in a bad mood, and this man had just happened to run into a brick wall.

"Spare you?"

"Why didn't you spare anyone else just now?"

When Huo Sixian's fireball struck the man,

along with it, the man's roars vanished as well.

All that remained was the sound of suppressed breathing from everyone in the lobby.

Huo Sixian let out a soft snort from his nose and continued, "Even as the number of Ability Users in the base increases, the rules of the base cannot change."

"Furthermore, if any Ability User attacks the ordinary survivors in the base, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After Huo Sixian finished, his gaze turned even colder as he said to the Ability Users lying on the ground, "Oh, and one more thing. You all know that my Superpower awakened earlier than yours."

"Before you make a move, you'd better think about the consequences."

After saying his final piece, Huo Sixian looked at Zuo Yuxing again, "By the way, find someone to take this charred fellow and display him in the base square as a warning."

Zuo Yuxing looked at Huo Sixian with a look of disbelief.

He really wanted to ask why it had to be him.

Zuo Yuxing was still worried about Ye Qingqing.

But a higher rank crushes those beneath it.

He couldn't resist Huo Sixian.

Besides, he couldn't even explain himself regarding the matter with Ye Qingqing.

He, Zuo Yuxing, had indeed done wrong.

In the end, a dejected Zuo Yuxing personally dragged the charred man and the other troublemaking Ability Users to the base square for public display.

Extremely unwilling, Zuo Yuxing dithered as he brought the people to the square.

As for the charred corpse, Zuo Yuxing bound it with the Blue Starlight rope.

It was dragged along the ground all the way to the square.

Because the corpse was charred,

it left behind fragments of flesh along the way.

Seeing this, the people in the base felt a sense of dread.

Some even hid away in fear.

Huo Sixian returned once more to the door of Ye Qingqing's ward.

When he went back, he brought along the Ability User wearing white coats.

Ye Qingqing's current state was not good.

It should be said that both Su Miaomiao and Ye Qingqing were in bad shape.

Ye Qingqing lay on the Hospital bed, and the Blue Starlight appeared on her body again.

As for Su Miaomiao, she had clearly reached the point where her Superpower was nearly exhausted.

Her lips were pale, and her whole body was trembling violently.

Her hands couldn't stop shaking.

From the looks of it, she was clearly about to give in.

Huo Sixian tilted his head and said to the man in white coats, "Can you help save her?"

The man in white coats had seen Huo Sixian before.

Moreover, he had just witnessed the destructive power of Huo Sixian's fireball with his own eyes.

Even if he couldn't, he would have nodded and said he could.

"Yes, leave it to me, no problem!"

After the man in white coats finished, he immediately entered the ward.

He didn't dally after entering and immediately activated his Superpower.

Su Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Platinum Luster radiating from the man in white coats.

However, in the next second, Su Miaomiao collapsed just like that.

The man in white coats looked closely.

Although he wanted to give Su Miaomiao a hand,

after seeing Su Miaomiao's Superpower withdraw from Ye Qingqing, and the glow of the Blue Starlight on Ye Qingqing's body immediately surge up,

the man in white coats also realized the severity of the matter.
