273: Chapter 273 Do you want me to save you?

Finally, Ah Huang lifted his paw and pointed in a certain direction, signaling repeatedly to Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing glanced in the direction Ah Huang was pointing and nodded. "Alright, I understand."

Next, Ye Qingqing arrived in front of Mo Wangchuan.

At this moment, Mo Wangchuan was practically on the verge of hugging Ye Qingqing's leg.

"Sister Qingqing, you are my savior! You're finally here."

"By myself, I really can't manage to treat so many people..."

Mo Wangchuan looked at Ye Qingqing, speaking through a mess of snot and tears.

However, Ye Qingqing felt somewhat skeptical.

"And now that I'm here?"

"You want me to save people?"

"What's in it for me?"

Ye Qingqing's words caused Mo Wangchuan to freeze for a moment.

Mo Wangchuan hadn't expected Ye Qingqing to refuse so bluntly.

In fact, Mo Wangchuan even had a momentary flash of doubt.

Why was he saving people?

Ye Qingqing glanced at the Acid Rain outside.

Then she looked at Mo Wangchuan, desperately suppressing the surging nausea in her stomach.

In today's world, Ye Qingqing understood less and less how this Post-Apocalyptic World would eventually develop.

In the beginning, Ye Qingqing thought that as long as she had her space and sufficient supplies, she could survive this Post-Apocalyptic World.

But she hadn't expected to later meet Huo Sixian, and even find Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan.

If Ye Qingqing were alone with Ah Huang, she would choose to save those she could within the scope of her Ability.

But now, Ye Qingqing didn't just have Deng Jiayu, Huo Sixian, and the others.

She also had Ah Huang, Little Light, Little Tiger, and even Little Leaf and Little Green.

Most importantly, Ye Qingqing now had a baby in her belly.

At this time, Ye Qingqing had more and more things to consider.

Mo Wangchuan looked at Ye Qingqing, wanting to say something more.

Just then, the cries of patients reached his ears again.

"Please... please... save me..."

Mo Wangchuan didn't have time to say anything else to Ye Qingqing before diving back into the crowd of patients.

However, inexplicably, a trace of doubt surfaced in Mo Wangchuan's heart.

He even began to wonder if he shouldn't be saving these people.

Ye Qingqing stood in the middle of the crowd.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar face.

Xu Xueke was lying among the crowd; her clothes were no longer magnificent, but traces of lace could still be seen on her filthy garments.

Ye Qingqing and Xu Xueke's eyes met.

Except now, Xu Xueke couldn't even get up.

Due to the Acid Rain, her once smooth face had become pitted and scarred.

In the deepest wounds, Xu Xueke's teeth were even visible.

Xu Xueke reached out her hand, wanting to touch Ye Qingqing.

Her mouth struggled to utter Ye Qingqing's name: "Ye... Qingqing..."

Under normal circumstances, one might think Xu Xueke's appearance was a plea for mercy.

But from Xu Xueke's eyes, Ye Qingqing could sense a deep-seated hatred.

Ye Qingqing tilted her head and walked to Xu Xueke's side. "What?"

"Do you want me to save you?"

Xu Xueke didn't move, but her lips murmured slightly.

Ye Qingqing looked at Xu Xueke, a smile suddenly curling her lips. "Beg me."

By now, Xu Xueke was in so much pain she was nearly fainting.

She couldn't care less about what had happened before; all Xu Xueke could think about now was resolving the agony on her face.

Moreover, she was worried about whether her face would be scarred.

So she forced the words out of her mouth: "Beg... I beg you..."

But she didn't expect the smile that curled on Ye Qingqing's lips.

"Oh, I heard you. But sorry, I can't save you."

Xu Xueke looked at Ye Qingqing, thinking she had misheard.

Her expression was filled with disbelief.

Ye Qingqing crossed her arms, adopting the posture of a superior as she looked down at Xu Xueke.

"I only told you to beg me, but I never promised to save you."

"I haven't forgotten how you tried to capture Ah Huang before."

"Want me to save you?"

"Impossible."

After Ye Qingqing finished speaking, she even took out some disinfectant like Povidone-iodine from her space.

She waved it in front of Xu Xueke.

When Xu Xueke saw that bottle of Povidone-iodine, her eyes instantly lit up.

She reached out her hand, wanting that bottle of Povidone-iodine.

But every time Xu Xueke moved, every part of her body was wracked with intense pain.

Physiological tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

She looked quite pitiful, but Ye Qingqing's sympathy wasn't that abundant; she had no reaction upon seeing Xu Xueke's tears.

However, the people around them couldn't sit still.

The people surrounding Xu Xueke, upon seeing the Povidone-iodine in Ye Qingqing's hand, had their eyes light up one by one.

A small bottle of Povidone-iodine wouldn't have been given a second thought before the apocalypse.

But right now, that Povidone-iodine was a life-saver.

"Ah!"

"Save me... help..."

Some people struggled, trying to crawl toward Ye Qingqing.

Some even tried to scramble up to snatch the Povidone-iodine from Ye Qingqing's hand.

Mo Wangchuan also saw the scene over here.

But he simply had no time to attend to Ye Qingqing's situation.

Ye Qingqing gave these people a sidelong glance.

She casually tossed the Povidone-iodine into the crowd.

Everyone's gaze followed that bottle of Povidone-iodine frantically.

At the same time, they dragged their bodies toward the direction of the Povidone-iodine.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingqing's suspicions were further confirmed.

At this moment, the last shreds of morality and humanity in the base built by humans had been completely torn to pieces.

Ye Qingqing glanced at Mo Wangchuan.

Then she looked at the people here.

She decided to give Mo Wangchuan this final lesson.

Ye Qingqing pulled a large crate of Povidone-iodine out of her space.

She shouted toward the crowd: "Don't fight! There's plenty of Povidone-iodine here. If you want some, line up here and take it one by one. Everyone gets a share, don't fight!"

Despite what Ye Qingqing said, the people currently felt like they were dying of pain.

Furthermore, the areas burned by Acid Rain on their bodies were spreading.

If they didn't disinfect in time, the harmful substances carried in the Acid Rain would continue to corrode their bodies.

So, the moment they saw that crate of Povidone-iodine, the crowd fell into a frantic scramble.

It was as if they couldn't even hear Ye Qingqing's words.

It was as if Ye Qingqing's words about lining up and everyone getting a share were just for show.

In the blink of an eye, that crate of Povidone-iodine had been completely snatched up.

During the struggle, because Xu Xueke was closest to the crate, she suffered the most grievous injuries in the crowd.

Because Xu Xueke couldn't dodge in time, she was trampled underfoot by the crowd.

No matter how Xu Xueke struggled or begged for mercy, it was useless.
