51: Chapter 51 Protective Face Shields

Ye Qingqing slightly opened her mouth but ended up shaking her head: "It's nothing."

She must be overthinking it. If Huo Siyan had seen what just happened, then... his reaction right now would definitely not be like this.

While picking up the last box of supplies, Huo Siyan said to Ye Qingqing: "Let's go, everything's packed."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing looked surprised in her eyes, because in room 321, there were still many supplies that hadn't been packed, yet Huo Siyan was saying they were done.

Ye Qingqing felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She hurriedly asked: "Are we not taking the things in this room?"

Huo Siyan narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly: "I want to, but we can't take them anymore. The assault boat can't hold that many supplies."

Ye Qingqing pressed her lips together but still nodded and followed Huo Siyan upstairs.

Ah Huang, who was following behind Ye Qingqing, had a little idea, because it had just seen the look in Ye Qingqing's eyes when she saw the supplies in room 321.

It was a look similar to when it saw a big bone, so Ah Huang knew in its heart that Ye Qingqing wanted those supplies.

Ah Huang's little brain whirred, and it immediately turned around and ran upstairs.

Seeing this, Huo Siyan frowned slightly. Noticing his expression, Ye Qingqing immediately reacted.

She said hastily: "This Ah Huang, really... I'll go up and take a look."

After saying this, Ye Qingqing immediately went upstairs, and by then, Ah Huang was already sitting at the door of room 321, waiting.

A slight smile curled at the corner of Ye Qingqing's mouth as she patted Ah Huang's head.

"Ah Huang, you're amazing!"

The door to room 321 wasn't closed. Ye Qingqing rushed in at top speed, sweeping away everything in the room, including the fitness equipment in the living room and the pots, pans, bowls, and dishes in the kitchen. Even if Ye Qingqing didn't take them now,

they would later be soaked by water. Better they benefit Ye Qingqing than benefit the water.

Seeing the new pile of supplies in her space, Ye Qingqing revealed a very satisfied smile.

But this smile, in the eyes of Ah Huang beside her, looked utterly lecherous no matter how you looked at it.

Ah Huang couldn't understand it either. She clearly looked like a beautiful woman, so why could she reveal such a lecherous smile?

In an instant, Ye Qingqing's image underwent a complete transformation in Ah Huang's heart.

Of course, Ye Qingqing was unaware of all these mental activities of Ah Huang.

If Ye Qingqing knew, she would definitely give Ah Huang a couple of knocks on the head.

Ye Qingqing began to adjust her breathing, pulled on Ah Huang's leash, and when running out of 321, she even closed the door.

To prevent others from discovering something extraordinary.

But while going downstairs, a question suddenly popped into Ye Qingqing's mind: Why was the door to room 321 not closed?

When she reached the 27th floor, Ye Qingqing found that half the floor was now submerged.

Half of Ye Qingqing's body was submerged in the water.

Ah Huang directly started dog paddling.

"In just this short while, the 27th floor is flooded up to here?"

As she got on the boat, Ye Qingqing asked this.

Huo Siyan looked at Ye Qingqing, a faint glint of cold light flickering in his eyes, and suddenly asked her: "Got everything packed up, right?"

This question from Huo Siyan made Ye Qingqing's heart skip a beat, suddenly reminding her of Ah Huang's actions on the 32nd-floor rooftop.

Her sixth sense told her that Huo Siyan might have discovered something.

But Kong Ziyi was the first to answer.

"Boss, that's a weird question. Weren't you the one who just packed the last box of supplies?"

Upon hearing this, a slight smile curled at the corner of Huo Siyan's mouth: "Right, I was just confirming. Since everything's packed, let's set off."

Huo Siyan, Ye Qingqing, and Ah Huang were on one assault boat.

Kong Ziyi, Lu Huan, and Meng Hangfei were on another assault boat.

This could barely be considered a reasonable distribution.

The assault boat's canopy had no coverings on all four sides. Now moving on the water, plus with the rain, the boat was getting soaked.

Ye Qingqing was very worried whether these supplies would get waterlogged.

But Huo Siyan, sensing Ye Qingqing's concern, spoke up first: "Don't worry, these supplies are very well waterproofed. They'll be fine."

Only after hearing this did Ye Qingqing breathe a sigh of relief.

If she weren't hiding her spatial ability now, she'd really want to put all these supplies into her space.

After Ye Qingqing and the others left, she noticed that a few of the survivors originally in the building were now launching rubber dinghies into the water, looking like they were about to leave too.

"Where are we going?" Ye Qingqing looked at the vast expanse of water around them. The assault boat in it was like a drop in the ocean.

Across the entire expanse of water, you could barely see a few buildings anymore.

Only structures above the 3rd floor remained; all the rest were submerged.

For a moment, Ye Qingqing suddenly wondered if Atlantis had been like this before, suddenly submerged in water.

Just like human civilization, destroyed in a single natural disaster, submerged in the rushing floodwaters like this city.

Even this heavy rain was washing away the last remnants of human civilization.

"Head north."

Huo Siyan's voice was very low. Ye Qingqing suspected he was also feeling down after seeing the surroundings.

"The guidance on the map issued by The Authorities is to head north. Moreover, our country's terrain is naturally lower near the sea in the south."

"So, as long as we head north, we might even encounter official rescue fleets."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing's mind instantly reacted.

No wonder Huo Siyan was in such a hurry to move. So that was his plan.

But why didn't Huo Siyan say so earlier?

Was he worried she wouldn't want to go with The Authorities?

Huo Siyan looked at Ye Qingqing and continued to explain: "Sorry, I just thought of this too. I hadn't considered this aspect earlier on the 32nd floor."

Even though Huo Siyan explained, Ye Qingqing didn't believe it in her heart.

But for now, Ye Qingqing was on Huo Siyan's boat and could only follow him.

For some reason, at this moment, Ye Qingqing suddenly felt a distance from Huo Siyan.

She always felt like Huo Siyan was keeping some secret from her.

Ye Qingqing felt strange inside, but couldn't quite describe the feeling.

She and Huo Siyan didn't have any special relationship, so why was she feeling this way?

The rain on the water was heavy. Because the assault boat was moving fast, the rain hitting them felt like little knives pricking the skin, especially washing over their faces, making it hard to see clearly ahead.

"Qingqing, can you help look for the protective face masks in the second box?"
