Chapter 118: Waking Up

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Zhao Hao woke up, he felt sore all over. His arms felt like they weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn’t even lift them.

“Did you save me? Little Ye, 1 don’t even know how to thank you.”

Tears welled up in his eyes, and Zhao Hao’s drowsy mind gradually cleared up. He couldn’t exert any strength in his body. It was as if this body didn’t belong to him, and it didn’t listen to him.

However, Zhao Hao didn’t think too much about it. He just thought that his muscles were sore from being attacked by a group of people. He didn’t know that his body had mutated.

“Do you feel anxious? Or do you have any thoughts of attacking others?”

Lin Sijia quickly went up and placed her finger on Zhao Hao’s pulse.

“No, but… Hehe, I’m a little thirsty.”

Zhao Hao grinned embarrassedly. In fact, he was also very hungry, but he was too embarrassed to say it. After all, he knew very well how precious food was at this time. He was already very embarrassed to ask Ye Xingchen for water.

With his hands cuffed to the headboard, Zhao Hao laughed dryly in embarrassment. “Um, Little Ye, can I uncuff one side and drink some water first?”

Ye Xingchen smiled and didn’t reply. He directly brought the cup to Zhao Hao’s mouth. Zhao Hao was very embarrassed and hid behind it.

“I’m sorry, Brother Zhao. The handcuffs can’t be removed for the time being because Little Jia hasn’t figured out what’s wrong with you yet. In case you hurt yourself, we still have to handcuff your hands. But it doesn’t matter, Brother Zhao. 1’11 feed you.”

Knowing that Ye Xingchen was doing this for his own good, Zhao Hao couldn’t reject it anymore. In the end, he blushed and gulped down the whole cup of water from Ye Xingchen’s hand.

Lin Sijia and Ye Xingchen looked at each other and nodded as Zhao Hao drank the entire glass of water.

If he could drink a whole cup of water, it meant that Zhao Hao was not infected with rabies, or maybe he was infected. However, Zhao Hao had died once, and obtaining a superpower was equivalent to being reborn.

Ye Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief. At least he had eliminated an infectious disease that might endanger him.

As for Zhao Hao, he still had a lingering aftertaste after drinking the entire cup of water.

He hadn’t drunk water like this for a long time since the snowstorm. The water tasted sweet and cold, just like the spring water. It was so delicious that he wanted to drink another glass, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Only then did Zhao Hao realize that he was actually naked.

“Wait, where are my clothes?!”

Zhao Hao wasn’t embarrassed, but he was surprised from the bottom of his heart. Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia were both wearing very thin clothes. He was clearly not wearing any clothes, only covered by a thin blanket, but he actually didn’t feel cold at all.

“Oh my god, Little Ye, the heater in your room is really turned on!”

The warm air made Zhao Hao feel as if he was dreaming. He had the illusion that the snow and the extreme cold were just a dream.

“This, this must use a lot of power, right? I don’t feel unwell anymore. Why don’t I go home? Or you can at least turn off the heater in this room.”

Zhao Hao knew that electricity and water were very precious now. The lights in the room were turned on, and there was nothing but white outside the window glass. Zhao Hao naturally knew what it was because his house was the same. The snow had sealed the doors and windows. If it was not for his friends who came to help him shovel the snow at the door, he would still be trapped at home.

Ye Xingchen had already helped him a lot. Zhao Hao thought to himself that he really couldn’t take advantage of Ye Xingchen anymore.

Zhao Hao wanted to leave in a hurry, but he was interrupted by Ye Xingchen. “Brother Zhao, are you hungry? You don’t have to be so polite to me. If you’re really embarrassed, just take it that I lent these to you. It won’t be too late to return them to me after you’ve recovered.”

Ye Xingchen really wanted to know what kind of ability Zhao Hao had obtained. He also wanted to know what kind of changes would happen to Zhao Hao’s body after he obtained the ability. From the previous signs, Zhao Hao should have obtained a physical ability.

“Big Brother Zhao, there’s something very important. I want to tell you a secret, but you can’t reveal this secret to anyone else, not even Sister Anran.”

Zhao Hao looked at Ye Xingchen’s serious face and instantly became serious as well.

Ye Xingchen was about to say something when Li Anran came back clean.

“All! Brother Zhao! You’re awake! You’re finally awake!”

Li Anran had just stepped out of the toilet when she saw the small room with the door open. She guessed something and rushed over quickly. She squeezed Lin Sijia, who was checking Zhao Hao’s pulse, aside and pounced on Zhao Hao, sobbing.

“You bastard, do you know how worried I was about you?”

“I only allowed you to go out. How did you end up like this?”

“Fortunately, you’re fine now. Otherwise, what would Little Treasure and 1 do?”

Ye Xingchen, who was standing at the side, frowned at Lin Sijia, who was pushed to the side. He thought to himself that Li Anran’s acting skills were really good.

If Ye Xingchen hadn’t installed cameras in every corner of the room, and he and Lin Sijia hadn’t seen with their own eyes how Li Anran “took good care” of Zhao Hao, they would have believed her.

Li Anran was an outsider, so Ye Xingchen couldn’t continue talking about many things. He could only gently pat the back of Lin Sijia’s hand and leave the small room with her.

“This Li Anran is so annoying!”

This was the first time Lin Sijia felt that a woman could be so annoying. When Li Anran lifted her clothes up in front of Ye Xingchen to feed her child, Lin Sijia was already very unhappy.

Ye Xingchen, Lin Sijia, and the others had already eaten dinner. Even Li Anran had finished dinner. Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and asked Lin Sijia to make a big pot of noodles. There were also three eggs, two hams, and a big frozen chicken drumstick tossed in. These were all things that were taken back from the supermarket earlier. They were not worth much, but if they were placed outside, others would probably fight for them.

The noodles were personally served to Zhao Hao by Ye Xingchen. When they arrived, the pot was still steaming.

When he entered the room, Li Anran was sitting in the living room coaxing Little Treasure to sleep.

It was getting late. Normally, Zhao Hao and Li Anran would have gone to bed long ago. Because there was no electricity at night and there was not much entertainment, they usually went to bed early..
