199: Chapter 199 Getting Ready to Leave
"Since we have this Ability, we naturally bear more pressure, and there is more we can do."
"I'm not trying to morally kidnap you into doing anything. I just feel that since we've already awakened our Superpowers, we can do more. For example, we can deal with evil people like Chen Ziang."
"I used to be a soldier. I don't expect you to have the same mindset, but to make the world a better place—that counts as a reason to keep living, doesn't it?"
Wang Xiaochun felt that as Meng Hangfei spoke these words, his entire being seemed to glow.
It was a light that belonged to Meng Hangfei himself.
Meng Hangfei felt a bit embarrassed by Wang Xiaochun's gaze.
"Um, I'm not very good with words. I just think your Superpower is really excellent, so I... said a bit too much."
"If you don't want to hear it, you can just pretend I didn't say anything."
Wang Xiaochun looked at Meng Hangfei and let out an involuntary chuckle.
Then, she slowly uttered a single word: "Okay."
Hearing Wang Xiaochun's words, Meng Hangfei's body froze for a moment.
At this moment, Meng Hangfei didn't yet know what Wang Xiaochun meant.
Wang Xiaochun continued, "Thank you. I feel now that living isn't so bad. At least for Xiao Man's sake, I have to work hard to keep living, don't I?"
Hearing Wang Xiaochun's words, Meng Hangfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But Wang Xiaochun's next words made Meng Hangfei's face turn red.
"I understand, but... can you put me down now?"
"I can walk on my own. Besides, you're going the wrong way."
After Wang Xiaochun finished speaking, Meng Hangfei's entire face flushed red.
He hurriedly put Wang Xiaochun down.
Looking at Meng Hangfei's tall stature, Wang Xiaochun felt that he was like a big, silly oaf.
She couldn't help but burst into a small laugh.
When Wang Xiaochun led Meng Hangfei to the base entrance, she discovered that a large truck had already been parked there.
There was also a smaller truck.
The large truck was for carrying people, while the small truck was used to transport the monsters found in the laboratory.
The people who had lived with Wang Xiaochun before were all at the base entrance now, waiting for the vehicles to depart together.
However, at this moment, the Ability Users of Viper Base were not happy.
Several Ability Users stood directly in front of the large truck, blocking its path.
"Hey, I say, aren't you Ability Users from the Official Base being a bit too much?"
"If you take these people away, who's going to do the work in this base?"
Huo Sixian glanced sideways at the Ability User who spoke: "Is there a problem?"
As Huo Sixian spoke, he began releasing his Lightning Ability from his hand.
The person speaking naturally knew that this man was an SSS-rank Ability User.
But they were still very disgruntled. These people were used to acting like tyrants in Viper Base.
Now that their labor force was suddenly being taken away, they naturally couldn't get used to it.
The speaker's tone remained stubborn: "I don't care. You must leave some people for us."
"Now that the high temperatures are gone, it proves the Post-Apocalyptic World is about to end. The future belongs to us Ability Users. Can't you be a bit more flexible?"
Huo Sixian shot the man a sidelong glance: "Are you done?"
Looking at Huo Sixian's expression, the man felt that Huo Sixian wouldn't actually do anything to him.
So, he continued talking.
But Huo Sixian clearly had no intention of coddling these people.
The Lightning Ball in his hand instantly expanded, transforming directly into a Lightning Mesh.
It enveloped the speaking Ability User within it.
The Ability User let out a muffled groan.
But soon, he couldn't even make a sound, rendered completely numb by the electricity.
Huo Sixian said impatiently, "Noisy."
He then asked Mo Wangchuan, "Where did Meng Hangfei go? Why haven't I seen him for so long?"
Mo Wangchuan was also puzzled.
"When he left earlier, he clearly told me to meet at the base entrance. I don't know either; he didn't bring a walkie-talkie."
Huo Sixian frowned as he looked at the sky.
The temperature had indeed dropped quite a bit today, feeling like a normal summer temperature from before the apocalypse.
However, the horizon in the distance was a blood-red color.
It looked like something major was about to happen.
Just as Huo Sixian was getting anxious, Meng Hangfei finally appeared.
Huo Sixian looked over toward Lu Huan.
Lu Huan was currently organizing the survivors in the base to board the vehicles.
Because there were so many people, they could only pile into the large truck.
Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Meng Hangfei spoke apologetically.
"Boss, sorry I'm late."
Huo Sixian didn't say much about it.
He simply nodded: "Who's driving? We're preparing to leave."
Meng Hangfei looked at Wang Xiaochun.
"I'll drive. Wang Xiaochun can come with me."
Ye Qingqing looked at the two of them. A woman's sixth sense told her...
Something had definitely happened between these two.
However, these things weren't meant to be discussed right now.
"Alright then. You and Xiaochun take the large truck. The rest of us will take one car and leave."
As Ye Qingqing spoke, she stored the nearby recreational vehicle into her space.
Then, she brought out an off-road vehicle.
Ah Huang was very excited and was the first to hop in.
The off-road vehicle was a seven-seater.
After tossing Ah Huang into the trunk, the remaining five people fit perfectly in the car.
Kong Ziyi sat in the driver's seat.
Seeing this, Mo Wangchuan immediately sat in the passenger seat.
The remaining Lu Huan's mouth twitched, and he sat himself in the driver's seat of the small truck.
He looked at Kong Ziyi and Mo Wangchuan and cursed, "Abandoning your brother."
Once everyone was ready, they set off.
Ye Qingqing looked out the window, a bad premonition lingering in her heart.
Even though the high temperatures had ended...
Ye Qingqing felt that the Post-Apocalyptic World was definitely not over yet.
As for what would happen next, Ye Qingqing didn't know either.
In her previous life, the high temperatures hadn't lasted this long, and this life also had zombies and Ability Users—things that didn't exist in the previous life.
Everything happening now caused Ye Qingqing to lose her advantage as a precognitive.
She had no idea what would happen next.
She had just heard the whispers among the crowd, thinking that once the high temperatures ended, the apocalypse would be over.
But Ye Qingqing knew in her heart that things were far from that simple, and this end-of-the-world era wouldn't end so easily.
Besides, even if the high temperatures were over, weren't the zombies still there?
Furthermore, Ye Qingqing didn't know if there would be even more severe natural disasters.
Ye Qingqing looked at the sky outside the window with concern, her expression more serious than Huo Sixian had ever seen.
Huo Sixian put his arm around Ye Qingqing's shoulder: "What's wrong?"
Ye Qingqing looked out the window: "Tell me, when will this Post-Apocalyptic World finally end?"
