269: Chapter 269 I'm fine, don't worry

Huo Sixian saw Kong Ziyi's appearance and instantly furrowed his brow.

He had never seen Kong Ziyi look like this before.

If he hadn't encountered something extremely troublesome, Kong Ziyi would absolutely not lose his composure like this.

"What happened?"

Seeing Kong Ziyi struggling to get his words out, Huo Sixian felt extremely anxious inside.

Just as Kong Ziyi was about to speak, Huo Sixian suddenly felt a dampness coming from above his head.

Immediately after, the sound of dripping rain reached his ears.

Huo Sixian's eyes widened as he stared at the raindrops overhead.

Originally, this should have been a cause for celebration, but Huo Sixian's expression was extremely serious.

Because the raindrops before him were not pure water droplets, but a toxic liquid tinged with corrosive properties.

"It's Acid Rain..." Huo Sixian slowly uttered the words.

Ye Qingqing, hearing Huo Sixian's words, immediately stepped away from the dining table and looked at the scene outside the window.

The Acid Rain at this moment was falling in small, sparse drops, but Ye Qingqing could distinctly smell a very pungent odor from it.

It was like the smell of burning plastic.

It involuntarily caused a wave of nausea in Ye Qingqing's digesting stomach.

Ye Qingqing didn't have time to think any further and rushed straight to the bathroom, vomiting violently.

Deng Jiayu followed her with great concern.

But in terms of speed, she couldn't match Huo Sixian.

Huo Sixian almost rushed to the bathroom alongside Ye Qingqing the moment she headed there.

He then immediately took out a bottle of warm water from his space and helped her rinse her mouth after she finished vomiting.

At this moment, Kong Ziyi stood at the doorway, watching this sudden turn of events.

His mind went blank for an instant.

In his impression, Ye Qingqing had always been as formidable as Huo Sixian.

But now, Ye Qingqing was actually feeling unwell?

Kong Ziyi's first reaction was that Ye Qingqing had sustained serious injuries during her previous outing.

Otherwise... there was no way to explain the current situation.

Thinking of this, Kong Ziyi's hands trembled as he looked at Ye Qingqing again.

Moreover, recalling how Huo Sixian had rushed so urgently to Ye Qingqing's side earlier, Kong Ziyi felt the situation was not as simple as he thought.

And at this time, Xiao Lü, Little Leaf, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Guang were all crouched guarding the bathroom door.

Even Deng Jiayu, who wanted to go in, was blocked at the entrance.

As for Ah Huang, he was even faster than Huo Sixian and was already stationed by Ye Qingqing's side.

Although Huo Cunsheng and Pei Siyuan were also worried,

it was clearly not the time for the two elderly men to step forward and fuss.

At a time like this, it should be left to Huo Sixian to handle things properly.

Besides, even if Pei Siyuan and Huo Cunsheng, the two old men, wanted to squeeze in,

they couldn't even get through that door.

Kong Ziyi's mind was tangled in a long internal struggle.

In the end, he remained frozen in place.

Pei Siyuan looked at Kong Ziyi and still asked, "Zi Yi, what's the situation outside now?"

Only then did Kong Ziyi remember the reason he had come here.

When he looked at Pei Siyuan, his eyes held an added touch of seriousness.

"There's something wrong with the rain outside. It seems like Acid Rain. At first, there were only sporadic drops, but now it's falling much heavier than before."

"If the Acid Rain continues forming at this rate, in another two days, our temporary base will be completely gone."

Upon hearing this, both Huo Cunsheng and Pei Siyuan were stunned.

They had originally thought the natural disasters would stop here, with no new surprises appearing.

But they hadn't expected that this series of disasters was far from over.

In that instant, Huo Cunsheng even felt a thought sprout in his mind: perhaps the previous disasters were just the beginning.

After all, along the way, they had also encountered mutated plants and animals.

Previously, these things didn't exist.

The only one was Ah Huang.

But now...

"Where's the boss! Where's the boss!"

"Quick! There's a new situation!"

At this moment, Lu Huan also came looking for Huo Sixian in a panic.

When he saw Kong Ziyi standing at the door, confusion appeared in his eyes.

Kong Ziyi had set out before him. At his previous speed, Huo Sixian should have already been outside by now.

His own trip here was just to confirm Huo Sixian's location.

But he hadn't expected to run into Kong Ziyi.

That meant the current situation wasn't a regular one like before.

Upon seeing Kong Ziyi, Lu Huan immediately asked, "Why are you here? Where's the boss?"

Kong Ziyi, for a moment, didn't know how to answer Lu Huan's question.

He just raised his hand and pointed in Huo Sixian's direction.

Lu Huan couldn't be bothered with more details now.

He shouted loudly, "Boss, many mutated Ability Users have suddenly appeared on the mountaintop, and a lot of zombies are swarming up as well."

"It's not just the Official Base; the situation is similar in other bases too."

"Boss!"

When Lu Huan shouted the first time, Huo Sixian didn't appear.

So he directly started shouting a second time, spitting out the rest of his words in one breath.

Pei Siyuan, listening nearby, instantly frowned.

"More Ability Users have mutated?"

Ye Qingqing, in the bathroom, had already heard Lu Huan's words from outside.

She directly pushed at Huo Sixian.

"You, you go handle it. If chaos breaks out outside, it won't be easy to contain."

"And now with the Acid Rain falling... I'm fine here, I'm okay. Besides, you being here doesn't really help me."

Hearing that Ye Qingqing's words, in every possible way, were telling him to leave, Huo Sixian became stubborn again.

"Qingqing, no matter what happens right now, nothing is more important than you."

Ye Qingqing looked at Huo Sixian, and her heart also became conflicted.

Although Huo Sixian said that, Ye Qingqing knew that he had been a Soldier before. Even though he later worked as a mercenary, Huo Sixian still had the fervor of a Soldier in his bones.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stepped forward time and again when survivors in the base were in trouble.

Ye Qingqing also learned yesterday that during this period, Huo Sixian had managed the temporary base very well.

In this world where the strong are respected, Huo Sixian was a king among the powerful.

If Huo Sixian didn't appear at a time like this, Ye Qingqing felt he might regret it later.

So, Ye Qingqing resolutely pushed Huo Sixian away.

"Go do what you need to do. I have my space, I have supplies, and I have Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa Huo. I'm fine, don't worry."

"I'm just pregnant, not dying."
