Chapter 269: End of the World Queen 266 (8) One More Update_2
Seeing this, Su Ran shook his head with a wry smile and didn't pay it much mind.
Sui Yun knew that Su Ran had a few ordinary people under his charge.
So he directly arranged for them to move with Wo Qi, but the two teams acted independently.
Even so, Wo Qi was extremely unwilling in his heart, especially when he saw Ye Shaohua and her group looking extremely lazy all day, using a Water Attribute Superpower User's water to bathe and wash clothing, making their team the most extravagant.
The more Wo Qi observed, the more he felt they were a rabble.
When going out on missions, for fear of being hindered by them, he didn't even notify them.
He even relegated Ye Shaohua and the others to logistics duty.
The baby-faced ones were attempting to reach the peak of the Third-rank Superpowers, so they didn't care either.
On the third day of the journey, Ye Shaohua had not yet seen the boss Sui Yun.
According to Su Ran, the other party had always been scouting ahead.
During the day's rest, Wo Qi's team suddenly became chaotic.
"What's going on?" Ye Shaohua sat by the fire, fiddling with a small scientific apparatus in hand, while those following her held either a bottle of medicine or something to eat. Upon seeing Su Ran's sighing face, she couldn't help but ask.
Su Ran glanced over there and said, "A capable officer in Wo Qi's team was bitten by zombies. Superpower Users can heal themselves when bitten by zombies, but he got infected instead. Wo Qi is preparing to toss him out..."
"Wait..." Ye Shaohua, noting his peculiar expression, spoke up, "I've just finished going through the data these past few days, and I have the equipment. Could you let me try something with that person?"
Su Ran was startled for a moment, his face revealing uncontrollable joy, "Great!"
Weiwei gave him a kick, "You're putting on such a mournful face just to get Lady Ye to speak, aren't you?"
Su Ran didn't mind the kick and just hurried toward Wo Qi.
"That ordinary girl in your team?" Upon hearing this, Wo Qi sneered, "If she's that capable, why would she still stay with you all instead of finding a safe base to settle in? Su Ran, is this just your clumsy excuse, thinking I'm stupid to discard your brother Su Mu?"
Sui Yun also heard the news. After checking Su Mu's condition, he lowered his gaze, "I've already asked the safe base, and the doctor there is clueless."
Su Ran knew about this doctor.
He was the only Cerebral Superpower User post-apocalypse, with nearly 30% of his Brain Domain developed, which was almost ten times that of an average person.
"Boss, trust me, Lady Ye has a way. If it doesn't work out in the end, I'll personally kill my brother so that he won't infect anyone," Su Ran pleaded with Sui Yun.
Hearing this, Sui Yun's gaze shifted toward the direction of Su Ran's team.
Ye Shaohua sat by the fire, casually playing with a device, with her delicate brows slightly lowered. It seemed she felt his scrutiny, and her eyes calmly met his.
"You take him there," Sui Yun withdrew his gaze.
"Boss?!" Wo Qi looked at Sui Yun incredulously, unable to believe the normally steady boss.
Sui Yun didn't respond to her but narrowed his eyes in Ye Shaohua's direction.
He wasn't someone who easily trusted strangers.
With this in mind, he felt a bit strange.
"There's been some issues with Jing City's satellite signal," Sui Yun glanced at Wo Qi, "the phones won't work for the next few days."
Wo Qi acknowledged this.
Su Ran then brought Su Mu back to his own team, while Wo Qi ordered her whole team to be quarantined.
At night, when resting, those people wished they were dozens of meters away from the fire where Ye Shaohua's group was.
Wo Qi's team had planned to go out to find food.
When she led the group out, they didn't take the burden that was Su Ran's team with them, though she took another look at Ye Shaohua's group.
She noticed Ye Shaohua eating beef jerky by the fire.
"That Ye is so lucky," someone in Wo Qi's team sounded bitter, "having no ability yet still having people bring them food."
"That's what she gets for having a pretty face."
...
Ye Shaohua, while using the firelight to review her notes, leisurely chewed her beef jerky. Weiwei was by her side boiling soup, with the entire group waiting leisurely to eat.
Qi Feng had just returned from hunting an animal that hadn't mutated, his body stained with blood.
He was now taking a bath in a modified vehicle, with a water tank on the roof, and the team's Water Attribute Superpower User replenishing the water daily, which made Sui Yun's soldiers green with envy.
To live as if on vacation during the apocalypse was rare indeed.
When he came out, he noticed some disturbance ahead.
"It's a Third-rank Fire Attribute zombie, everyone run!" That was Wo Qi's trembling voice.
Hearing about a Third-rank zombie, the team's members screamed in panic, ready to flee.
Wo Qi's heart raced uncontrollably, and the screams of her subordinates, as she sustained burn injuries, tightened her chest.
They had encountered a powerful Attack-type Third-rank Fire Attribute zombie right after leaving.
A football-sized, terrifyingly potent Fireball was again thrown by the zombie. Wo Qi dodged, but not entirely, as the Fireball grazed her arm, charring it instantly.
However, the Fireball didn't slow down and continued hurtling towards the people at the makeshift encampment.
The orderly crowd became chaotic in an instant, everyone fled toward the back toward the mountainside.
Yet, the group gathered around the fire still chatted and laughed merrily, still holding their soup bowls as if deaf to Wo Qi's voice, blind to the chaotic crowds around them.
Their demeanor so relaxed, still with smiles on their faces, the baby-faced one was even arguing with someone over who would drink the last bowl of soup.
Ye Shaohua leaned back, casually glancing at Wo Qi and the others, still calm and collected, her features illuminated by the firelight, looking exceptionally attractive.
Because of the desperation of those around them, their calmness stood out starkly.
In everyone's eyes, Ye Shaohua and her group were foolishly watching the Fireball.
Were they courting death? Or did they realize they couldn't escape and decided not to even attempt it?
