278: Chapter 278 She burst into tears.
At this moment, she brought Huo Sixian out of the space again.
At the same time, she placed Huo Sixian in the passenger seat.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye.
Lu Huan, following behind Huo Sixian's car, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the car skid and nearly hit a tree.
Fortunately, Huo Sixian's car only skidded slightly.
The people behind Lu Huan were unaware of the changes happening inside Huo Sixian's car; they were just staring intently at the roadside conditions along the way.
They watched the zombies opening their mouths wide one by one, trying to figure out exactly what these zombies were doing.
They wanted to know if these zombies were actually evolving.
But they were also afraid—afraid that after evolving, these zombies would become something humans could no longer handle.
A very complex emotion surfaced in everyone's hearts—a sense of profound uncertainty about the future.
In the car where Ye Qingqing was, Deng Jiayu looked at Huo Sixian with great anxiety.
Although Huo Cunsheng didn't say anything at this moment, his brow was furrowed deeply into the shape of the character ' river'.
A deep sense of unease flickered in his eyes.
“Qingqing, Little Huo, he...” Deng Jiayu was also worried when she asked Ye Qingqing.
To reassure the three elders in the back, Ye Qingqing said, “Don't worry. When the Acid Rain came just now, many people fainted as well. It looks like they're about to awaken Superpowers.”
“Huo Sixian should be the same.”
Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Deng Jiayu and Huo Cunsheng finally felt somewhat relieved.
However, the ' river' shape between Huo Cunsheng's brows did not relax.
In truth, Ye Qingqing didn't have much confidence when she said those words.
After all, Huo Sixian had suddenly lost consciousness.
And he looked like he was in extreme pain.
Furthermore, based on the situation when Huo Sixian had awakened his Superpower before...
This state was completely different from when he was awakening his power.
So, at this moment, Ye Qingqing didn't know what was happening to Huo Sixian either.
Though she was worried, she ultimately bore the burden alone in silence.
On Huo Sixian's side, he had been struggling for a long time; he felt an intense pain in his head.
This pain wasn't directly stimulating Huo Sixian's brain, but was attacking his nerves directly.
It felt as if thousands of needles were being driven into his mind, densely packed, all of them stimulating the nerves in his brain.
For a moment, Huo Sixian didn't even notice that he was letting out muffled groans of pain inside the car.
Huo Cunsheng and the others all heard it.
Coming from the passenger seat was Huo Sixian's muffled groan, full of endurance.
Ye Qingqing was closest to Huo Sixian, so she naturally heard it most clearly.
Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as a battle raged in her mind, wondering if she should stop the car—at least stop long enough for Mo Wangchuan to check on Huo Sixian's condition.
But they were out in the middle of nowhere; anything could happen.
Moreover, it was still raining Acid Rain.
Ye Qingqing didn't dare take that risk lightly.
It was only at this moment that Ye Qingqing realized she had always been very dependent on Huo Sixian.
As for whether to stop, or where to stop, Ye Qingqing never had to worry; Huo Sixian had always taken care of everything alone.
After Huo Sixian let out a third muffled groan, Ye Qingqing saw an open space ahead and immediately made a decision.
Ye Qingqing first turned on the car's hazard lights to alert the vehicles behind her.
At the same time, she slowed down.
Lu Huan, Kong Ziyi, and Meng Hangfei in the following cars all noticed the situation with the lead vehicle.
Though they didn't know what had happened, they all followed Ye Qingqing and stopped.
After stopping the car, Ye Qingqing immediately took out the Metal House that Huo Sixian had built before from her space.
With the Acid Rain falling, this house was perfect as a temporary shelter.
And with one house, if they squeezed in, it could accommodate all of them.
When the people in the following cars saw Ye Qingqing stop and take out the house, they immediately knew they were going to set up camp on the spot.
Meng Hangfei surveyed the surrounding environment; there were no zombies or Mutated Plants nearby.
The area was all open ground, and the line of sight was relatively clear.
It indeed looked like a good place to camp.
So, they all got out of their cars.
Kong Ziyi looked at Mo Wangchuan, who was still dazed in his seat, and sighed silently.
Finally, his gaze landed on the wound on Mo Wangchuan's shoulder.
Kong Ziyi unconsciously reached out slowly and touched the wound.
There was a trace of heartache in his eyes.
“Mo Wangchuan...” Kong Ziyi's tone was very gentle when he spoke.
He was afraid that if his tone were even slightly harsher, Mo Wangchuan would shatter.
But Mo Wangchuan turned a deaf ear to Kong Ziyi's words.
He stared blankly ahead, not moving at all.
“Mo Wangchuan!” Seeing that Mo Wangchuan didn't even move, Kong Ziyi became a bit anxious.
His voice rose several pitches as he called Mo Wangchuan's name.
But Mo Wangchuan still stared blankly ahead.
Kong Ziyi was furious.
He slapped Mo Wangchuan directly.
“Mo Wangchuan!”
“Are you still not awake?”
“Don't you know what kind of world this is now?”
“Do you think everyone has to revolve around you?”
“Do you think others are just bored?”
“I don't even need to ask to know how you got those injuries on your body; they were from those people in the base, weren't they?”
“Mo Wangchuan, it's a good thing to have a kind heart and be unable to bear seeing human suffering, but the world is different now. It's the Post-Apocalyptic World, and we are surviving in it!”
“Do you still think you're living in the Hospital from before?”
“That after you save someone, they'll be eternally grateful and thank your ancestors for eighteen generations?”
“Forget it! Look at what kind of world this is. If you save someone now and they recover, you'll be lucky if they don't stab you and steal your food.”
“What are you expecting?”
“Expecting everyone to be like you—not lacking food, not lacking strength—or that it's still that era where everyone is equal?”
The more Kong Ziyi spoke, the more agitated he became, an excited flush appearing on his face.
His chest was also heaving violently.
Mo Wangchuan's head was snapped to the side by Kong Ziyi's slap, but he didn't move; his head just stayed there, not budging at all.
After finished scolding Mo Wangchuan, Kong Ziyi suddenly felt that this man was beyond saving.
He simply stopped scolding him and sat in the driver's seat, feebly striking the steering wheel once.
Mo Wangchuan's eyes were hollow as he stared ahead. Suddenly, Kong Ziyi heard an extremely small sobbing sound.
The sound was like the buzzing of a mosquito.
It started as a sniffling, but then it became like rolling hills, continuous and unending.
Until finally, like a floodgate opening, Mo Wangchuan burst out into a wailing cry.
