271: Chapter 271 Overestimating Oneself

However, this Energy Shield was not something everyone could manifest.

After all, Ability Users still only accounted for a small fraction of the population.

Most people were just ordinary survivors.

Among those who had fallen under the Acid Rain, some were emitting a faint halo from their bodies.

From the look of it, it was clearly a sign that they were about to awaken a Superpower.

Some of them, as they fell, were protecting a pot of leafy green vegetables on their bodies.

Although they had shielded the leafy greens beneath them,

after being subjected to the corrosion of the Acid Rain, those leafy greens had long since been completely eaten away by the corrosive properties of the rain.

So now, by the time Huo Sixian found them, those leafy greens were all destroyed.

They were completely inedible.

Not only that, some of the corroded vegetable leaves even showed black veins.

It looked just like humans contaminated by the zombie virus.

For a moment, Huo Sixian felt that the world had probably truly gone mad.

Huo Sixian even wondered if this was a reshuffling of humanity.

Otherwise, why would everything in this natural disaster-ridden Post-Apocalyptic World be targeting mankind?

Furthermore, the number of surviving humans was extremely small.

This Acid Rain further stirred a sense of doubt in Huo Sixian's heart.

If this continued, could humanity really survive?

Or rather, was there any way left for humans to survive in this Post-Apocalyptic World?

Seeing Huo Sixian dazed, Lu Huan stepped forward and waved a hand in front of his face.

"Boss, the people here have all been moved inside. I'm going to check on the other bases."

Only after hearing Lu Huan's words did Huo Sixian snap back to his senses.

He immediately said, "I'll go with you."

A deep sense of confusion surfaced in Lu Huan's mind.

He always felt Huo Sixian was acting strangely, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

So in the end, Lu Huan simply stopped thinking about it.

Meanwhile, over at Mo Wangchuan's side, things were so busy they were dizzy.

Wang Xiaochun couldn't condense an Energy Shield, so she could only stay indoors to help Mo Wangchuan treat the wounded.

But the number of wounded here was simply too great.

Mo Wangchuan couldn't possibly handle it all alone.

Wang Xiaochun could only act as an assistant, helping the wounded with things like their clothes.

At this moment, Mo Wangchuan truly missed Ye Qingqing.

If only Ye Qingqing were here right now.

That way, with Ye Qingqing's space and supplies, at least the other wounded could be treated now.

Instead of just lying on the ground waiting for death.

Thinking of this, Mo Wangchuan immediately looked at Wang Xiaochun.

"Xiaochun, go find where Leng Qingyue is. She's traveled with Ye Qingqing for so long, their relationship must be decent. Go find her and see if she can get Ye Qingqing to come and save these people."

When Wang Xiaochun heard Mo Wangchuan's words, a flash of displeasure rose between her brows.

"Ye Qingqing actually has no obligation to come here..."

But before Wang Xiaochun could finish, Mo Wangchuan was already busy treating the next person.

Seeing the wounded around her, a faint sense of pity surfaced in Wang Xiaochun's heart.

She was somewhat hesitant; after all, these matters weren't Ye Qingqing's responsibility.

Besides, she thought, Ye Qingqing probably wouldn't...

However, seeing people rolling around in pain everywhere, pity still welled up in her heart.

She prepared to go find Ye Qingqing and give it a try.

Wang Xiaochun didn't go looking for Leng Qingyue.

Instead, she underwent Beastification, transforming into the form of a White Tiger.

Although Wang Xiaochun didn't have the protection of an Energy Shield,

after using her Beastification Superpower, her fur became very thick.

As long as she was fast enough, the Acid Rain wouldn't cause her much harm for a while.

Seeing Wang Xiaochun use her Beastification Superpower, Mo Wangchuan knew she was going to find Ye Qingqing herself.

Just as he was about to stop her, she had already dashed out.

Just as Wang Xiaochun set out to find Ye Qingqing, she happened to be spotted by Meng Hangfei.

Although Meng Hangfei didn't know what Wang Xiaochun was up to,

he couldn't help but want to go see for himself.

"Wang Xiaochun!"

Meng Hangfei kept chasing after Wang Xiaochun.

The Acid Rain fell harder and harder. Wang Xiaochun was moving very fast, and the sound of the wind mixed with the rain made it impossible for her to hear Meng Hangfei's voice.

Moreover, Wang Xiaochun now felt that she seemed to have underestimated the power of the Acid Rain.

Originally, Wang Xiaochun thought her fur after Beastification was very tough.

But before she had even run very far, she already felt a faint burning sensation on her back.

Fortunately, the feeling wasn't very intense yet, like the slight, hot itchiness after a mosquito bite.

So Wang Xiaochun paid no heed to the Acid Rain.

Instead, she sped up and continued running forward.

However, Meng Hangfei, who was following behind her, grew anxious.

Meng Hangfei could see very clearly now that the White Tiger fur on Wang Xiaochun's body had been soaked by the Acid Rain.

And there were signs that it was starting to seep through.

But Meng Hangfei couldn't catch up to her; he could only keep following behind her.

Seeing this, a wave of urgency surged in Meng Hangfei's heart.

Finally, when Meng Hangfei saw Wang Xiaochun's figure stumble for a moment, the heart that had been hanging in suspense finally sank.

The thing he feared had finally happened.

At this moment, Wang Xiaochun fully realized that she had indeed overestimated herself and underestimated the Acid Rain.

She had originally thought she just needed to endure for a short distance.

But she hadn't expected the Acid Rain to get heavier and heavier, even soaking all the fur on her body.

A White Tiger's combat power in the rain was not strong.

Due to being soaked with water, the animal was essentially moving with a heavy burden.

Wang Xiaochun felt her body getting heavier and heavier, and the parts of her back in contact with the Acid Rain were also very painful.

That Acid Rain felt as if it were directly touching the bones in her back.

For a moment, Wang Xiaochun felt as if she were about to die.

Her mind also experienced a momentary lapse of consciousness.

Furthermore, after feeling the Acid Rain on her, her head felt heavier and heavier, and the White Tiger aura about her even became increasingly violent.

Finally, Wang Xiaochun's body began to sway for a moment; it looked like she was about to collapse.

As her body was about to hit the ground, Meng Hangfei's figure seemed to appear before her eyes.

"Wang Xiaochun!"

"I've been calling you for so long, why couldn't you hear me!"

Meng Hangfei was truly frantic now.

He had been chasing after Wang Xiaochun like a complete fool, but she hadn't been able to hear him at all.
