Hearing the words ‘energy source’, Wu Chengyue paused slightly, then glanced at his daughter.
There was a strange energy inside his daughter’s body which he had sensed on their way back. The energy inside Ling Ling’s body seemed to have started awakening since long ago, and Wu Chengyue felt that it was growing stronger and stronger.
Did that energy awake Ling Ling’s power in advance?
“No! Yunlong, haven’t you sensed that the energy inside her body is getting stronger and stronger?”
Xiao Yunlong walked over and held Ling Ling’s hands, then closed his eyes to sense the energy.
“Eh? It’s true,” he said.
The doctor frowned and continued, “It looks like Ling Ling is going to trigger her superpower. However, she’s only five, so triggering a superpower now isn’t a good thing for her.
Reminded by the doctor, Wu Chengyue’s face darkened immediately. He felt that someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his heart.
The doctor was right. At present, people hadn’t figured out a way to help with the fever which would manifest during the awakening of superpowers. The ones who triggered superpowers would have to get through it by themselves with their willpower.
Generally speaking, younger people had weaker willpower than the older ones. Therefore, among the young people who had started to trigger their superpowers, the failure rate was relatively high. Only the ones with strong minds could successfully awake their superpowers.
Wu Chengyue anxiously looked at the doctor and said, “Doctor, do you know how to stop the awakening of Ling Ling’s power? She won’t make it if she starts triggering her power now!”
The doctor knitted his brows and said helplessly, “Currently, we don’t have any effective way to stop the awakening of superpowers. The main source of the energy which will trigger the superpower is transformed from a tiny amount of zombie virus. The virus slowly becomes the energy that can be absorbed by human body. When the energy accumulates to a certain degree, it will explode, and then trigger the superpower. Chief, you brought Ling Ling out this time. I just want to know if you’ve encountered any special situations out there?”
Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong glanced at each other. “Ling Ling was kidnaped by a zombie king. But then, she was saved by someone else. As for what happened during that period of time, we don’t know,” said Wu Chengyue.
The doctor pushed his glasses upward, then looked at the number showing on the screen of the device beside him. While thinking, he frowned slightly and said, “Last month, her health examination data was normal. No change should have happened to her within a year. So, I guess it’s something that happened during your journey caused the awakening of her power.”
“So, what should we do now?” Said Xiao Yunlong anxiously, “You have to find out a way to stop it. If it continues, she’ll fall into a coma. What can we do if that happens? She’s so young! She won’t get through it!”
The doctor raised his head to look at Xiao Yunlong, then turned to Wu Chengyue. After that, he sighed and said, “I am sorry! We don’t know how to stop it.”
“Doctor!” Xiao Yunlong nearly lost his mind. He popped his eyes and stepped up, attempting to grab the doctor and ask him for help again. Wu Chenyue stopped him while staring at the doctor and said, “Doctor, is there really no way? We can do whatever you want!”
The doctor was a little anxious too. “No, I mean, we really don’t know what to do. Currently, there are no results regarding how to suppress the zombie virus at all. Therefore, we can’t do anything to interfere with the super-power-awakening-process which is caused by the zombie virus after transformation.”
Wu Chengyue stared straight at the doctor, looking more and more gloomy.
He understood that the current medical research hadn’t been making any progress regarding the zombie virus. Therefore, people weren’t able to stop the ones who got bitten by zombies from turning into zombies, nor fix the awakening of superpowers.
However, he couldn’t just give up on his daughter.
“Doctor, just think! Is there really no way? As long as you stop the awakening of her power, Ling Ling will be safe, isn’t that right?” Xiao Yunlong said to the doctor, seeming like an ant on a hot pan.
The doctor helplessly shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry! We don’t know what to do.”
Wu Chengyue opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but couldn’t. At that moment, Wu Yueling leaped off the bed and pulled Wu Chengyue’s trouser leg.
Wu Chengyue lowered his head to look at Wu Yueling, then squatted and embraced her. “Ling Ling, don’t be afraid. Daddy won’t let anything happen to you!”
Leaving the consultation room, Wu Chengyue carried Ling Ling and came downstairs with Xiao Yunlong. In the lobby of the hospital, they saw a few people coming from the outside.
“That’s Chief Wu! He’s back!” Yang Fangyu, who had escorted Yuan Tianxing and the others to the hospital, looked at Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong with surprise.
With a smile, she walked to Wu Chengyue and said, “Eh, isn’t this Chief Wu and our little princess? When did you come back? Why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?”
Wu Chengyue was feeling depressed. However, facing the pretty lady’s warm smile, he still gave a faint smile and responded, “Deputy Chief Yan, good to see you!”
Yan Fangyu looked at him, then turned around to point at Yuan Tianxing and the others as she said, “Great! Here, let me introduce you. This is Deputy Chief Yuan from Hades Base.”
Then, she pointed at Wu Chengyue and said to Yuan Tianxing, who had walked to her side, “This is Chief Purple Thunder, the man you were looking for.”
Yuan Tianxing reached out a hand toward Wu Chengyue and said, “Hi, I finally get to meet you in person.”
Wu Chengyue put Wu Yueling into Xiao Yuanlong’s arms, then shook hands with Yuan Tianixng and said, “Nice to meet you.”
Yuan Tianxing looked at him, then turned to Xiao Yunlong and Wu Yueling. Abruptly, he said, “Is this our little princess? She’s adorable! But, you don’t look so well. Is anything wrong?”
Yan Fangyu nodded and said with concern, “Yeah, you look upset since we first saw you. Did you suffer a great loss out there this time?”
Yuan Tianxing now looked at Wu Yueling and continued, “I guess our little princes isn’t feeling well. Her face is red. Did she catch a cold? Is she having a fever?”
Wu Chengyue turned to his daughter and hurriedly touched her face. He found that her face was already burning, and her face had turned red. Her bright eyes now seemed to be unfocused.
He let out a long sigh, then said, “Ling Ling is…Her power is awakening. We don’t know how to stop it. We don’t know what to do now.”
Yan Fangyu widened her beautiful eyes and slightly opened her mouth as she murmured, “What…! No way! She’s so young! How can that happen?”
Wu Chengyue’s eyes wore a sad look.
“She’s such a little kid! How can her power suddenly awake? Did you encounter something out there?” asked Yuan Tianxing abruptly.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly dragged Xiao Yunlong toward an empty corner while saying, “Come here.”
In that quiet and empty corner, he turned to say to Du Yuanixng who had been ignored the whole time, “Yuanxing, give the kid some of the water in the bottle…See if it can help.”
