Moli looked at him and said, Chief, youre so careless that you even made the kid drink an unidentified liquid given by some other people. Have you thought about the consequences?

Wu Chengyue sighed and responded, What else could I do? The awakening of a superpower is life-threatening for anyone. To save Ling Ling, I have to think of it as a cure, even if it might be a poison. What if its really helpful? You see, hasnt a good result shown up?

Moli nodded, Youre right! Having hope is better than being hopeless and unable to do anything.

Yuan Tianxing and Du Yuanxing were in their room, reading the files of the applicants. Many people were attracted by the good deal of food that Yuan Tianxing offered, but most of them gave up on hearing that they would be heading to a zombie city.

After all, zombie cities were all forbidden areas. Ordinary people who managed to go to a zombie city and come back alive would be considered really lucky. Even for level three and four superpowered human beings, the chance of survival in a zombie city would be very small.

Therefore, ninety-nine percent of applicants gave up, and the rest were either starving, or had no other choice.

Yuan Tianxing repeatedly emphasized that he and his people would guarantee that no zombie attack would happen. However, they didnt ensure the applicants life safety.

Since their mission was published, only three people decided to work for them.

Boss, this one is a level-four with earth power, same as you. I think hes good.

Ah, himIve sent someone to check his background. He has a level-four superpower indeed, but hes a little silly. Every time he went out for a mission with the others, he came back covered in wounds. However, the food he earned is always the least among all. And, he eats like a horse. The food he earned can never last more than three days. The food that can last anyone else for a week, hell finish within two days.

No way! ThatsThe others are all trying to save as much as they can, so why does he eat so much?

Thats why I said hes a little silly. He just doesnt know that he should save food. Hes quite famous now. Because he isnt smart enough, people think that he might become a burden during a mission, so many teams refused him.

That can be possible though. After all, therere too many dangers outside. Should we accept him? He wont cause us any trouble, will he?

Yuan Tianxing sighed and responded, For now, we have too few people that can lead the charge, so we have to accept him. He might be a little dim-witted, but I think hell be fine as long as we pay more attention to him.

Du Yuanxing nodded.They were too short-handed at the moment, so they couldnt be picky.

At that moment, Lu Junjie, who guarded by the door, abruptly knocked on the door and reported, Boss, Deputy Chief Xiao is here.

Yuan Tianxing paused for a second, then turned to look at the door while saying, Chief Xiao? Ah, let him in.

Lu Junjie immediately opened the door, then stepped aside and made a sweeping motion toward the people outside.Please come in, he said.

Xiao Yunlong walked in, and a bearded man followed behind him.

Yuan Tianxing pointed at the couch and said politely, Please take a seat. Is this about Ling Ling? What happened?

Xiao Yunlong pointed at Liang Dashu who was behind him while saying, This is Doctor Liang from our base. Were here for that water of yours.After saying that, he sat on the couch.

Lu Junjie closed the door after they walked in.

Hearing Xiao Yunlongs words, Yuan Tianxing nodded at Doctor Liang and greeted him, Good to see you, Doctor Liang!

Good to see you too, Liang Dashu nodded at him as well.Then, Xiao Yunlong pointed at Yuan Tainxing and said to Liang Dashu, This is Deputy Yuan from Hades Base.

Mr. Yuan, said Liang Dashu, Can you please show us the water that you brought?

Hearing Liang Dashus question, Yuan Tianxings face darkened slightly. Then, he turned to Xiao Yunlong.

Earlier, he had mentioned that he didnt want anyone else to know about the water. But now, this Doctor Liang showed up.

Seeing the look on his face, Xiao Yunlong understood his meaning. So, he hurriedly explained, Ah, please dont worry. Doctor Liang is different from the other doctors. He wont tell the others about this. And, hes a solitary person. He rarely contacts with the others, so you really dont need to worry.

Liang Dashu knew what they both meant. So, he nodded at Yuan Tianxing and said, I promise, except for my assistant and me, no one will know about this.

Ling Lings current situation is a little special, said Xiao Yunlong, Doctor Liang and we all think that it might be caused by the water you gave us. So, we came here to talk to you.

Yuan Tianxing glanced at Liang Dashu with a serious look, then said to Xiao Yunlong, Hows Ling Ling now?

Xiao Yunlong glanced at Liang Dashu.

Her situation is quite special, said Liang Dashu, The awakening of her power seems to be suspended by something. It has paused now. Shes still having a high fever, but she hasnt fallen in a coma yet. Im not sure if this is temporary, or if shell keep being like this. And we dont know if her power will continue to awaken or stop.

Yuan Tianxing widened his eyes with surprise, then glanced at Du Yuanxing, who was behind him. After that, he turned back and said to Xiao Yunlong and Liang Dashu, Suspended? Really?

The two nodded. Its the first time for such kind of situation to happen, so we dont know whatll happen next, said Liang Dashu, So, we want to know if some kind of special elements exist in that water, or some other thing that suspended the awakening of Ling Lings power.

Yuan Tianxing gave Du Yuanxing a hand sign, then asked, How long has Ling Lings situation lasted? When did it start to change?

Du Yuanxing poured a cup of the water from Lin Qiaos space, then put it on the tea table before Liang Dashu and Yuan Tianxing.

Liang Dashu impatiently took the water over and put it near his eyes as he looked at it carefully. At the same time, he answered Yuan Tianxings questions, She was like that when I arrived. She has her eyes opened now, but her mind isnt clear.

Xiao Yunlong had also been curiously looking at the cup of water in Liang Dashus hands. It was transparent water that looked nothing special. About half an hour ago, he said, Her body temperature stopped rising at fifty-eight degrees. Before Doctor Liang arrived, her body temperature dropped a little bit.

Yuan Tianxing crossed his arms before his chest and said while thinking, Fifty-eight degrees, thats a normal body temperature during the awakening of superpowers. Sometimes, itll even reach seventy degrees. Normally, people would lapse into unconsciousness with such a high fever, but Ling Ling is still awake. Its really a miracle!

Yeah, said Xiao Yunlong, So we came to you. We want to give Ling Ling more of this water, to see if we can stop the awakening of her power for good.

Yuan Tianxing shook his head and said, That wont happen. Its effects are limited. Drinking more of it wont heighten its effects.
