27: Chapter 27 Get to the point, stay away from me.

"Ye Qingqing, it's all your fault! You made me like this!"

Ye Qingqing watched Fu Peisheng approach and instinctively took a step back, feeling quite disgusted.

Fu Peisheng looked like he hadn't bathed in a long time; he was filthy, and Ye Qingqing even suspected there were unknown residues on his clothes.

They looked a bit like the things Ye Qingqing had seen on the stairs in the emergency exit.

Even though she was wearing three layers of masks, she could smell the stench coming from Fu Peisheng from a distance.

It came from both his mouth and his body.

When Fu Peisheng spoke, Ye Qingqing could clearly see a yellow layer of grime on his teeth.

Seeing this scene, how could Ye Qingqing not be disgusted?

"Say what you need to say, stay away from me!" Ye Qingqing's face showed her disgust, and her words were sharp. As she backed away, Fu Peisheng actually tried to chase after her.

This was more than Ye Qingqing could stand.

Seeing Ye Qingqing continue to back away, Fu Peisheng's pride took a hit.

"Ye Qingqing, you're actually disgusted by me?"

Ye Qingqing's mouth twitched at his words. Was she not being obvious enough?

Ye Qingqing didn't want to respond; she was indeed disgusted and didn't want to talk to an idiot to avoid lowering her own IQ. However, the corridor wasn't wide.

Blocked by Fu Peisheng, it was hard for Ye Qingqing to pass him without touching him.

So, Ye Qingqing simply gave Fu Peisheng a kick.

"Where did this filthy thing come from? How unlucky."

The kick nearly made Fu Peisheng spit blood. He was kicked directly onto a pile of filth—who knows whose it was.

Fu Peisheng looked at his hand, which had landed right in a pile of it—and it was still warm. He felt a wave of nausea.

Because he hadn't been eating well lately, and Lin Wanrou, who used to provide him food, had run off with someone else.

Fu Peisheng's hand was still injured, and he couldn't contribute much when gathering supplies with Zhao Degang, so he received very little food.

His body was weak, and the untreated wound on his hand was starting to rot.

Fu Peisheng could smell the stench from his own hand every day.

Watching Ye Qingqing walk away, Fu Peisheng was filled with resentment, and he suddenly felt a surge of energy, like a final flash of lucidity.

He crawled up from the pile of filth.

He chased after Ye Qingqing like a madman.

Ye Qingqing's physical condition wasn't as good as her previous life. Although she knew some basic moves, she was no match for a normal grown man's strength and stamina.

The only reason Ye Qingqing beat Fu Peisheng and Lin Wanrou up before was because Fu Peisheng underestimated her at first.

He didn't think Ye Qingqing would suddenly attack.

So when Fu Peisheng lunged at her, Ye Qingqing didn't have time to dodge.

Ye Qingqing's pupils dilated as she saw Fu Peisheng, covered in filth, about to pounce on her.

Unable to avoid it, Ye Qingqing instinctively closed her eyes.

But the expected pain or filth on her face didn't come.

Ye Qingqing felt herself being lifted, a burning strength around her waist.

The next moment, Ye Qingqing fell into a warm embrace smelling of mint, and she heard Fu Peisheng's scream.

"Be careful."

Ye Qingqing was held in Huo Sixian's arms, hearing his strong heartbeat and feeling the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed.

When Ye Qingqing struggled out of Huo Sixian's arms, she saw his ears were red.

"Sorry, the corridor is too narrow. It was an emergency, and I figured you wouldn't want to get dirty from that filth."

Ye Qingqing was on the stairs going down, and Fu Peisheng had lunged from behind her.

If Huo Sixian hadn't pulled Ye Qingqing, she would have rolled into the filth with Fu Peisheng.

Ye Qingqing thanked Huo Sixian sincerely, then looked at Fu Peisheng, who was unconscious at the corner of the stairs.

His face was pressed against a pile of filth. Ye Qingqing thought even a passing dog would find him repulsive.

"Are you going to the resettlement point?"

Huo Sixian asked Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing hesitated. Should she say yes or no? If she said yes, but then stayed in her room, what would she do later?

"I..." Before Ye Qingqing could finish, Huo Sixian interrupted her.

"I don't recommend it. With the Typhoon and flood, food at the resettlement point won't be enough. The water level hasn't dropped, and although the Typhoon has weakened, it's still raining."

"If you trust me, don't go."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she pulled out her Kayak, showing it to Huo Sixian.

"Actually, I wanted to go find food. My house is almost out."

Just then, Lu Huan, Kong Ziyi, Li Wenzhuo, and Meng Hangfei came down carrying an inflatable boat.

"Damn, Boss, why haven't you left yet? Hurry up, the smell here is killing me."

It was Kong Ziyi. He was at the back but heard Huo Sixian and wanted to hurry him up.

The smell in the corridor was truly unbearable.

Huo Sixian looked at his group and said to Ye Qingqing, "What a coincidence. We're heading out too. Let's go together; it's not safe for a girl alone."

Ye Qingqing's mouth twitched slightly.

She didn't really want to go with them.

Ye Qingqing planned to use the Kayak for a bit, then switch to an inflatable boat in a secluded spot to go faster.

But she ran into Huo Sixian and the others before even leaving.

Ye Qingqing wondered if it had to be such a coincidence.

But as she went further down, she realized going with them might be okay.

The water had risen to the 11th floor.

The corridor and hallway on the 11th floor were already crowded.

Lin Wanrou was there, dressed skimply and clinging to a man who didn't look very masculine.

She was making sickeningly sweet sounds.
