Chapter 202: Her Ideal
“You have a way?” Xia Chenge’s eyes lit up.
“The virus in my body is something I brought back from my rebirth. Before my rebirth, the virus’s effects on me were completely eliminated. For the past decade or so, although the virus has occasionally sent me into a berserk state, I ultimately did not turn into a zombie!” Ling Hanmu said seriously.
“Are you saying that you might already have an antibody to the virus?”
“Although I can’t be completely sure yet, after remembering everything from the apocalypse, I can now control the virus at will.”
“So the virus will no longer pose a threat to your life?”
“Not in the short term, but in ten or twenty years, I don’t know.”
Ling Hanmu did not hide anything from Xia Chenge. After awakening his abilities in the apocalypse, he was very clear about his body’s condition.
He wouldn’t die before he was twenty!
“Really?” Xia Chenge stared at him intently.
Ling Hanmu nodded seriously.
“That’s great,” Xia Chenge was overjoyed. “As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters.”
“I will always be with you until we’re old,” Ling Hanmu said with a smile, pulling her into his embrace. “Neither the laboratory nor the virus will make me repeat my mistakes. Together, you and I will change the future apocalypse.”
“Okay!”
They both tacitly avoided thinking about whether Xia Chenge from the apocalypse would disappear if the laboratory was destroyed and history was altered…
……
Xia Mingxuan’s mental state was very good. He was very excited to see Xia Chenge visit him.
Unable to speak for the time being, he gazed at Xia Chenge without blinking, his eyes filled with heartache and affection, which were incredibly obvious.
“Are you alright?” Xia Chenge sat on the edge of the bed. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
He shook his head.
Being able to correctly express his emotions indicated that his consciousness was still normal.
Xia Chenge couldn’t imagine how strong his mental fortitude must be to have endured such torment for over a decade without going mad.
Even evolved humans from the apocalypse couldn’t maintain normal consciousness in such an environment.
Human potential was indeed limitless!
“When you’re feeling better, will you go see your daughter?”
Xia Mingxuan looked at her and nodded.
“You need to take good care of your body so you can see your family soon. Otherwise, you’ll scare them like this.”
“Your daughter will be proud of you when she sees you.”
Xia Mingxuan’s eyes reddened.
Xia Chenge sighed inwardly. It was a pity that his biological daughter had long since passed away; standing before him was a soul from the apocalypse…
However, once Xia Mingxuan recovered, she would still treat him as her father and be filial, if she had the chance!
Xia Chenge wasn’t good at keeping people company, but she did her best to chat with Xia Mingxuan, even though she was the only one talking. Fortunately, Xia Mingxuan soon fell asleep due to weakness. After Xia Chenge tucked him in, she left the secret villa.
Rende Hospital had been taken over by the military, and it was announced to the public that a patient had contracted a highly contagious flu, leading to the hospital’s isolation for a period of time.
Xia Chenge quietly returned to the hospital’s VIP ward. Since Ling Zhongwen had personally arranged for his confidants to look after it, no one in the hospital knew what had happened in the VIP ward except for Ling Zhongwen’s people.
However, the members of the Apocalypse film crew were still concerned about her ‘injuries’.
Xia Chenge took this opportunity to leak the news of her ‘awakening’. It was all an act, and she didn’t want those who truly cared about her to continue worrying.
Jiang Xian was also secretly sent to Rende Hospital.
Upon seeing this laboratory, Jiang Xian was so angry that his beard bristled, and he almost wanted to grab a knife and kill Ling Zhongwen. “This is simply a devil that goes against humanity. How could they conduct such wicked experiments! What kind of people has your Ling family raised?”
Ling Zhongjing looked embarrassed. Although it had nothing to do with him at this moment, Ling Zhongwen was a member of the Ling family.
Ling Zhongwen’s actions meant he could not shirk his responsibility.
“Elder Jiang, now is not the time to dwell on these matters. The virus researched by this laboratory can destroy humanity. Let’s resolve this issue first!” Xia Chenge stepped forward, relieving Ling Zhongjing from his predicament.
“Destroy humanity?” Jiang Xian couldn’t believe it.
Xia Chenge nodded, took out the collected virus, and handed it to Jiang Xian. “I’m currently worried that someone in the hospital has been infected with this virus, which is why I’ve invited you here to first test if anyone has been infected.”
“We can’t delay. Let’s start immediately.” Jiang Xian immediately got to work without a moment’s hesitation.
At Jiang Xian’s suggestion, the military secretly invited top virus experts from Country A to research these viruses together.
Xia Chenge handed over the information she had obtained. Upon seeing these records, Jiang Xian and the others’ expressions changed drastically, and they erupted in furious curses.
It took them a full half a month to develop a method for detecting the virus and to test all hospital personnel for the virus.
Fortunately, no one was infected.
Only then did the military lift the blockade and announce to the public that the hospital had developed a drug for the flu, and the virus was no longer a threat to people.
Xia Chenge then ‘discharged’ from the hospital as a matter of course.
Upon returning to the Xia family, Xia Chenge was severely reprimanded by the Old Master.
Only after Xia Chenge gave a profound self-criticism and reflection did the Old Master let her off.
Meng Yufei and the others heard that she was discharged and rushed to the Xia family to see her.
Seeing that Xia Chenge had made so many friends over the summer vacation, the Old Master was happy and relieved, and he specifically stayed home to entertain them.
Seeing this, everyone dared not mention Xia Chenge’s injury on set in front of the Old Master.
However, seeing Xia Chenge bouncing around, everyone was relieved.
“Chenge, you’re in your third year of senior high school now. Have you thought about what university you want to apply to?” The topic eventually returned to Xia Chenge’s studies. Jiang Feifei asked, “Do you want to apply to a film academy?”
“I haven’t thought about what I want to do in the future yet, but I think I’ll apply to a military school.” Xia Chenge said. In the apocalypse, she was a warrior, and the sense of mission to protect humanity was deeply ingrained in her soul. Even if there were no zombies in a peaceful era, she still wanted to continue protecting humanity.
“Holy crap, did I hear that right? You want to apply to a military school?” Meng Yufei almost spat out his drink. “Are you trying to make things difficult for yourself?”
Li Yuming shot him a cold glance. “Pouring cold water on someone else’s ideals, I think you’re looking for trouble.”
Zhong Yujin asked, confused, “Why would you want to go to a military school?”
“Don’t you think military uniforms are the most handsome attire in the world? Being a soldier, how imposing is that?” Xia Chenge said seriously.
“Hahaha, good, good, good. I knew my Xiao Ge was ambitious. As long as you want to go, Grandpa supports you! The children of our Xia family are all ambitious!” Old Master Xia said with a smile, expressing his support.
“Then when I really go to military school, you can’t stop me, okay?” Xia Chenge tilted her head and looked at the Old Master.
