“Are you sure you don’t want to study it together?” Shen Yi stared expectantly at Mo Chu.
“Enough.” Ning Yiyuan suddenly pulled Mo Chu behind her, blocking their wolf-like gazes. “Little Chu will be by my side. You guys should continue doing your own things.”
“You guys… really have that kind of relationship?” Seeing Ning Yiyuan’s jealous expression, Shen Yi was not used to it. This was a completely different person from the cold Marshal from before!
Mo Chu, whose eyes were blocked by Ning Yiyuan’s broad back, could not help but twitch her lips when she heard this. Their relationship was very pure and normal. Could they not use such a vulgar tone?
“Of course!” Contrary to Mo Chu’s thoughts, Ning Yiyuan immediately agreed. He even held Mo Chu’s tender white hand with a look of enjoyment on his face.
“Enough!” Shen Yi and Zhong Wen were still single. Looking at this brazen display of affection, they wished they could poke their own eyes out. They could only chase them away. “We still have research to do. Hurry up and get out!”
In a house in District 12.
“Ah!” A sharp female voice suddenly came from the room.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Hu Qing could not believe it!
What… What is this? Her right hand caressed her cheek. A small piece of skin on her forehead had begun to fester, and the surrounding area was extremely red and swollen!
Could it be that… She was infected too?
Hu Qing’s eyes widened in shock. She could not believe it!
Thinking of the scattered corpses outside, the panic and fear in her heart surged. No, she did not want to die like that!
“Qingqing, what’s wrong?” Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, waking up Hu Qing who was immersed in fear. Only then did she come back to her senses. She used the bangs on her forehead to cover the festering skin on her face and said as if nothing had happened, “Dad, nothing, I’m fine!”
Yes, she could not be discovered. She definitely could not be discovered. Otherwise, she would definitely be sent to the Quarantine Center. That would really be the end of her!
“Alright, then hurry up and come out.” Hu Tian had been extremely worried recently. Not only had a few wrinkles appeared on his forehead, but the vicissitudes of life in his eyes had also become much stronger.
Ever since Mo Yang had left, the combat strength of their group had dropped by a notch. They had not been able to gather many good resources in the first place. In the end, they had encountered such a plague and were directly trapped here!
“Alright!” Hu Qing replied with a trembling voice. She then looked at the mirror carefully and felt that there was nothing unusual. Only then did she forcefully suppress the panic in her heart. Only then did she open the door and walk out in large strides.
At this moment, she had just bumped into Wei Yuan returning from the Exchange Center. Ever since District 12 had fallen into the pandemonium of the epidemic, the prices of everything had been inflated. In particular, the prices of various medicines and food items had increased tenfold compared to before! Many people were not tortured to death by the illness, but were starved to death!
“Here, Hu Qing, this is yours.” Wei Yuan handed a bottle of medicine to Hu Qing. It was said that this medicine could be used to prevent the epidemic, but the price was frighteningly expensive. Even so, the moment this medicine was introduced, it was immediately snatched up. Although they did not know whether the effects were real or fake, they could not care so much anymore in order to save their lives.
“Oh… Okay!” Hu Qing was completely relaxed. She only regained her senses after Wei Yuan stuffed the medicine into her hand. She raised her head in a daze and said, “Thank you!”
“… Huh?” This time, it was the other people’s turn to be stunned. With Hu Qing’s arrogant and capricious character, it was no longer news in the group. Did she just say ‘thank you’?
The sun must have risen from the west today!
