Chapter 220

Xiao Lou’s face turned pale upon hearing Ye Qi’s words .

<hr>

He could feel that Shao Qingge hated Cheng Ziyang . Everyone knew that Shao Qingge didn’t have a good impression of Cheng Ziyang after he betrayed Ye Qi . However, with Shao Qingge’s character, he wouldn’t directly kill a person .

Yet just now, Shao Qingge used the hair dryer to throw Cheng Ziyang into the raging flames!

Cheng Ziyang would’ve definitely burned to ashes in the flames . Shao Qingge must’ve had a problem with Cheng Ziyang to act in this way . Combined with Xue Qing’s scream… it turned out that the four of them were attacked by the bugs when they were still above ground . Chief Shao was even infected!

At this time, the university students of the Distant a.s.sociation were still following . They might do something to Shao Qingge if they knew he was infected . They absolutely couldn’t learn about it .

Xiao Lou immediately calmed down his emotions and told Yu Hanjiang the bad news through the heart channel . Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly and walked to Ye Qi, asking in a low voice . “What’s the situation?”

Ye Qi’s nose was tingly and he bowed his head to hold back his tears . “Just now, two bugs sneaked onto the roof and escaped Li Qingzhao’s control . They suddenly attacked from the rear . I didn’t notice and Chief Shao was scratched by the bugs to protect me…”

Yu Hanjiang wondered, “Cheng Ziyang was also infected so Chief Shao blew him into the fire?”

Ye Qi shook his head . “No, when Cheng Ziyang was attacked, he pulled Xue Qing in front of him and this caused Xue Qing to be infected . ”

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang exchanged looks . Based on Ye Qi’s description, they could imagine the situation at the time . They were attacked by the bugs and Cheng Ziyang chose to use his teammate to block the knife while Shao Qingge chose to take the risk to protect his teammate .

These were two completely different approaches . A person’s subconscious response in a crisis was enough to show their character . They didn’t believe that Shao Qingge was wrong . Don’t look at how he was usually lazy . He slept all day in the main city, lay down to win in the Hearts secret room and always teased them…

However, Xiao Lou really admired his courage in a critical moment!

Seeing Ye Qi’s pale face, Xiao Lou gently held his shoulder . “Don’t blame yourself too much . Protecting you is his own choice . You can’t be blamed . If you are infected then everyone would still be sad . ”

Ye Qi lowered his head and said nothing .

Xiao Lou continued, “Moreover, being infected isn’t hopeless . Didn’t Group Leader Yu a.n.a.lyze it before? The data will be reset after an A-grade secret room and the challengers’ injuries in the secret room will be automatically cleared . As long as we protect Chief Shao and don’t let him die, he will be able to recover after returning to the main city . He will become the former safe and sound Chief Shao . ”

Ye Qi nodded slightly . “Um…”

Xiao Lou asked, “Do you still feel his signal now? You are connected with Heart has a Tacit Exchange of Romantic Feelings right?”

Ye Qi tentatively asked Shao Qingge in his mind, “Chief Shao, can you hear me?”

Shao Qingge laughed in his mind . “I can hear you . I haven’t mutated yet and there are no special sensations in my body . Perhaps the bug is still adapting to my body?”

Ye Qi told Xiao Lou the result .

<hr>

Xiao Lou sighed with relief . After being infected, it would take a while to completely mutate . It was the same for the patients who were previously seen in the hospital . They were normal at first but after mutating, they would uncontrollably attack humans . Of course, those who were out of control would be the lower level bugs . The smarter ones would pretend to be human for a sneak attack .

Qin Guan’s ‘Heart has a Tacit Exchange of Romantic Feelings’ connected the inner worlds of two people, allowing two people to communicate through their spirits . Therefore, Chief Shao wasn’t a bug pretending right now . He still had his own consciousness .

It was unknown when he would mutate . Xiao Lou thought about it for a moment before telling Ye Qi softly, “You and Chief Shao have a spiritual channel and should keep communicating at all times . If this communication channel is broken, it means his consciousness is being controlled by the bug . At this time, immediately control him with the flute . Our underground tunnel will only take five minutes . There are still bugs outside and we can be caught by them . We will talk about it after leaving the secret tunnel . ”

Yu Hanjiang also agreed with Xiao Lou’s opinion . “The bugs can burrow into the ground . We blocked the back and side roads but we will be surrounded if they dig above us . So we will leave the secret tunnel first before thinking about how to solve Chief Shao’s problem . He shouldn’t lose consciousness in five minutes . ”

Ye Qi nodded vigorously .

The three of them spoke in a low voice as they walked . Shao Qingge was able to sense the conversation between Ye Qi, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang and he also added, “The overall situation is the most important thing . Let me go out of the secret pa.s.sage first . I should be able to hold on for a few minutes . ”

Just then, Gao Xiaoyi from the Distant a.s.sociation walked over with a pale face . “This gentleman, what happened just now? Why did you throw our captain into the fire with a hair dryer?”

The boy with gla.s.ses also spoke . “The fire was so big and Cheng Ziyang will definitely be burned to ashes if thrown in . What hatred do you have with him? Why do you want to hurt him so much? In addition, what about Xue Qing? She was screaming just now . Why didn’t she come down?”

After all, the bug army was behind them . Now wasn’t the time to stop and argue .

Gao Xiaoyi also nodded . She motioned to her teammates to follow and they talked as they walked .

Shao Qingge told them, “It started as early as 3 of Spades . Our Ye Qi was breaking through alone and it was the same for your captain Cheng Ziyang . The two of them happened to be matched up and became temporary teammates . As a result, after most of their supplies were stolen, your Captain Cheng actually left Xiao Ye and ran away . ”

Shao Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze became extremely sharp . “Due to his betrayal, Ye Qi was eliminated in 3 of Spades . He entered the Nightmare Room, eating leaves to survive for 14 days . You can imagine for yourself what difficulties he went through to come back from the Nightmare Room . ”

The team of university students heard this and exchanged looks .

Everyone had experienced 3 of Spades . In retrospect, the Financial Crisis room wasn’t very difficult but it also wasn’t simple . It would be very troublesome once their materials were stolen, let alone having a teammate who ran off with the supplies . This approach was simply cutting off a person’s food source, harming a person and eliminating them!

Gao Xiaoyi and the others obviously couldn’t believe it . How could their usually sunny and handsome captain be such a person? Was it true that people truly didn’t know the hearts of others?

Gao Xiaoyi frowned slightly . “This is your subjective statement and we can’t fully believe it… Besides, even if what you said is true, we are sorry for Xiao Ye but you can use other methods to make him compensate . Did you have to kill him?”

Shao Qingge wondered, “What if he killed someone too?”

Gao Xiaoyi slightly hesitated . She thought of Xue Qing’s scream and a chill filled her heart . “Do you mean… Xue Qing?”

Shao Qingge smiled coldly . “Selling out teammates, there will only be zero times or countless times . Do you understand what I mean?”

Everyone naturally understood . A person who could sell out their teammate once would naturally do it a second and third time . It was because their survival instincts would make them only think about themselves . What was their teammate compared to life?

Meanwhile, those who didn’t sell out their teammates would bear the burden with their teammate even in the face of life or death . They would live and die together .

It was like how domestic violence occurred zero times or countless times . A man who didn’t know domestic violence would never beat his wife . Meanwhile, a person who committed domestic violence would do it a second time, even if he kneeled down and admitted his mistake the first time .

Shao Qingge’s meaning was obvious . Cheng Ziyang previously sold out Ye Qi in 3 of Spades and just now he sold out Xue Qing, killing Xue Qing… the blood debt should be paid with his life! Ye Qi saw Chief Shao clearly explain the reason to everyone and felt even more uncomfortable . He didn’t know how long Chief Shao could maintain this state .

Ye Qi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down . Then he stepped forward and explained softly, “The four of us were attacked by the bugs just now . After your captain Cheng Ziyang noticed he was going to be attacked, he immediately pulled Xue Qing in front of him and this caused Xue Qing to be infected . Xue Qing said she didn’t want to be a puppet of the bugs, nor did she want to hurt you after being infected . Therefore, she rushed into the fire on her scooter and killed herself . ”

Ye Qi really admired this girl’s courage and the other teammates were shocked after hearing it .

The people of the Distant a.s.sociation heard this and their faces were ugly . The boy pushed his gla.s.ses up his nose and mused in a low voice, “No wonder why we heard Xue Qing’s scream . Cheng Ziyang, how could he do this…”

A girl who had a close relations.h.i.+p with Xue Qing was full of anger . She clenched her fists as she muttered, “Cheng Ziyang doesn’t have too many self-defense cards . It must be that at a critical moment, he only thought about his own life and ended up hurting Xue Qing! If he didn’t do that, if he had told me, I might’ve had time to go up and rescue them . But Xue Qing…” The girl’s voice choked up at the end .

Ye Qi handed a card pack to Gao Xiaoyi . “This is Xue Qing’s card pack . She asked me to pa.s.s it onto you . ”

The girl took the card pack with trembling fingers .

At this moment, Gao Xiaoyi’s expression suddenly changed . “Cheng Ziyang, he…”

The group looked at her . Gao Xiaoyi was silent for three seconds before stating in a low voice, “He is dead . ”

The boy next to her was surprised and asked, “The contract was handed over?”
