Apocalyptic Disaster: The King of Soldiers' Ultimate Pampering

139: Chapter 139 Can I have a glass of water?Among them were many who had only recently been infected by the zombie virus.

It was just that they were no longer human now, but zombies.

These zombies might have been the relatives or friends of the survivors within the base.

But now, as their relatives and friends witnessed this scene,

they endured the pain in their hearts and sent them off on their final journey.

After Huo Sixian finished dealing with the last wave of swarming zombies,

the horizon gradually began to brighten with the first light of dawn.

The light within the base was no longer solely dependent on the flames emitted by Ah Huang and Huo Sixian’s Superpowers.

When the survivors in the base saw the current state of the base by the faint morning light,

they couldn’t help but let out whimpers.

However, the reality was that they couldn’t afford to grieve for long.

Because the temperature was gradually rising.

Many survivors were sweating more and more, and the places on their bodies stained with zombie blood began to melt away under the high heat.

Huo Sixian’s brow darkened, and he immediately sent people to carry out an evacuation.

They had to settle these living survivors before the sun fully rose.

Naturally, the priority was to arrange for those who no longer had a place to live.

Ye Qingqing breathed a small sigh of relief and immediately took an electric scooter out from her space.

She sped off in the direction of home.

Seeing this, Ah Huang also immediately followed behind Ye Qingqing.

Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan’s home was located in the Core Zone of the base, where there was no danger at all.

While Ye Qingqing felt fortunate, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of desolation.

The world here and the world besieged by zombies just now seemed like two different worlds.

One had water, electricity, and the Air Conditioner was still running; the other was in ruins, filled only with weeping.

Before Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang even reached home, they saw Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan.

Oh, and Huo Cunsheng was there too...

Ye Qingqing had only found out a few days ago that Huo Sixian’s home was actually right next to hers.

The two families were separated by only a single wall.

This... every time Huo Cunsheng saw Ye Qingqing, the smile on his face never faded.

But things were different now.

When Huo Cunsheng saw Ye Qingqing return, his brow was furrowed deeply.

His entire being radiated the aura of someone in a high position.

He appeared exceptionally serious.

”Qingqing girl, you’re back.”

Huo Cunsheng greeted Ye Qingqing, but his expression did not relax.

Ye Qingqing took a deep breath and told Huo Cunsheng about the current situation.

”Grandpa Huo, the situation isn’t good right now; the Power Generation Station exploded.”

Upon hearing this, both Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan’s faces were filled with solemnity.

Ye Qingqing walked up to Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan: ”It’s good that you’re both okay. I just came back to check on you. Seeing you’re safe puts my mind at ease, but I still have to go distribute supplies and such.”

”Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa Huo, hurry back and rest. The sun is about to come out.”

After Ye Qingqing finished speaking, she took a car out from her space and opened the door for Ah Huang to get in first.

She herself brought up the rear.

The residents in the base’s Core Zone were different from those on the outskirts.

The residents in this Core Zone had their own backup power supplies for electricity.

Because they were standalone small buildings, the solar panels on the roofs were their final line of defense.

So when Ye Qingqing saw that Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan were fine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Moreover, they had Huo Cunsheng by their side.

Huo Cunsheng had specialized personnel protecting him, so naturally, Deng Jiayu and Pei Siyuan would be safe.

Ye Qingqing hadn’t driven earlier because there were many corpses along the way; if she had driven, she wouldn’t have been able to pick up any speed.

But now that the sun was rising, Ye Qingqing had no choice but to drive.

Otherwise, she would either be baked to death or faint from the heat.

When Ye Qingqing returned to the previous battlefield, she found that the reconstruction of the perimeter wall had already begun.

Although they could only manage a rough patch and the defense was not solid,

it was better than nothing.

As Ye Qingqing got out of the car and entered one of the surviving buildings, her expression turned solemn.

Because the power supply equipment was gone, the Air Conditioner system in the base couldn’t operate at all now.

Watching the people around her faint one by one due to the high temperature,

Ye Qingqing also began to feel some anxiety.

Everyone seemed to feel the scorching heat.

It was fine during the night just now when the temperature hadn’t risen yet.

But now that the sun was out, the temperature rose instantly.

And indoors, the air was stuffy and stagnant.

Some people had even fainted due to dehydration.

”Water...”

”I want water...”

”I beg you, could you give me a cup of water?”

Some people whose bodies were thirsty to the extreme directly grabbed the Soldiers’ trouser legs, crawling on the ground and begging.

But where would these Soldiers get water?

They were thirsty themselves.

The soldier looked at the person and shook his head: ”It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, but there’s no water left in the base either.”

”I... there’s nothing I can do.”

Seeing this situation, Ye Qingqing felt a pang of pity in her heart.

She had water in her space, and plenty of it, so she naturally didn’t lack water.

But, should she give it?

She looked at the crowd in the room, and after pondering for a moment, she still took out several large barrels of water and paper cups from her space.

”One cup per person, and only this one cup. Soldiers first.”

When Ye Qingqing said this, her expression was serious.

The moment the people in the room saw Ye Qingqing take out the water, their eyes lit up.

Although this water was Ye Qingqing’s own private property,

under these circumstances, Ye Qingqing wasn’t an extremely stingy person.

Ye Qingqing brought out several large barrels, all of which had been stockpiled before the Post-Apocalyptic World.

Ye Qingqing didn’t lack water, but she wasn’t so foolish as to reveal all her trump cards.

In this Post-Apocalyptic World, it was a matter of natural selection and survival of the fittest.

Ye Qingqing could give these people a cup of water today, but what about tomorrow?

What if Ye Qingqing wasn’t there?

So in today’s situation, she could give, but only this once.

When the people in the room saw there was water, they all stopped shouting and making a fuss.

They quietly lined up to receive their water.

Watching this scene, Ye Qingqing had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

The current situation actually wasn’t as bad as she had imagined.

She had originally thought these people would swarm toward the water in a frenzy.

There would be fighting, there would be blood.

But there wasn’t; everyone in the room was quietly waiting for that one cup of water.

They even listened to Ye Qingqing’s words and let the Soldiers drink first.

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing felt a strange sense of being moved.

If it weren’t for the terrible environment, who would be willing to live a life on the edge of a knife?

Ye Qingqing wasn’t as cold-hearted as she thought she was.

”Qingqing, you’re here?”

”I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

Huo Sixian rushed over and looked at Ye Qingqing.
