Chapter 732: Chapter 732: She Has a Pair of Zombie Parents (28)

"The route will pass by Rainbow Base, but I won’t enter the base. Do you two want to stay at the base or continue roaming with me?"

Qiann Yan simply laid out the plans to Zhang Xiaodong and Wuo Xuanfei, preferring that people willingly follow her rather than being forced to.

"Boss, I am willing to follow you, but when we arrive at Rainbow Base, I want to inquire about Little Wen’s whereabouts."

Qiann Yan: "That’s no problem."

Wuo Xiaowen was fairly close with the original owner’s class. On the day the apocalypse arrived, Wuo Xiaowen wasn’t in class because she was absent due to a high fever. She’d actually been sent to the hospital the previous afternoon with a persistent fever.

Qiann Yan’s gaze dropped slightly. The sudden onset of a high fever was peculiar, especially without prior symptoms of a cold. Perhaps the apocalypse had arrived earlier than people realized.

"Before the apocalypse, had you heard of sudden high fevers occurring among populations?"

The abrupt shift in topic by Qiann Yan momentarily stunned the group, but they quickly began pondering with their chins in their hands.

Just a few months ago before the apocalypse, it was hard to imagine how quickly such a brief period had disrupted a human order of several thousand years.

"The day before the apocalypse, I was in a meeting, and two executives simultaneously interrupted, saying their children had suddenly developed high fevers and were currently being rescued in the hospital. They’d never interrupted a meeting before, so it left a strong impression on me," Wuo Xuanfei spoke first.

Ruan Xian and Dou Huai were jotting down notes in their notebooks, unable to speak as quickly as Wuo Xuanfei.

Wuo Xuanfei speculated about Qiann Yan’s reasons for asking. The apocalypse could have had signs days earlier, but people didn’t recognize those symptoms as precursors.

Zhang Xiaodong scratched his head: "I don’t interact with many people, but... I did hear from the security department that there were indeed cases of children at home developing high fevers. Pressed by livelihood demands, they couldn’t go back to check."

Lee Shuangcheng, who was killed by Qiann Yan earlier, was a head of security, often chatty and friendly to everyone.

No one expected him to first think of capturing and humiliating Wuo Xuanfei once he acquired a superpower.

Zhang Xiaodong sighed inwardly; President Wuo had always been good to the frontline staff. As her driver for many years, he knew that she behaved consistently in private and public. She might seem a bit cold to strangers, but she was never someone who looked down on them.

Lee Shuangcheng’s sudden outburst after awakening his superpower was truly shocking.

He recalls that before the apocalypse, Lee Shuangcheng would smile broadly and bow when meeting President Wuo, never revealing such a side.

He himself does have some thoughts about President Wuo, like a student secretly admiring a goddess, never feeling worthy enough.

Yet he never awakened a superpower; Lee Shuangcheng could have killed him with a single finger.

Thinking back on those dark and absurd days, Zhang Xiaodong felt troubled. President Wuo truly deserved her title. Even then, she remained calm under such circumstances.

It was because she was calm, and he understood her well enough, not to make desperate attempts when unsure.

Finally, the opportunity awaited arrived.

Qiann Yan was surprised: "Another child? But the data is scarce, it’s not useful for reference."

"I wonder if we can gather more data," Wuo Xuanfei added, glancing at Qiann Yan. The young boss was indeed smart; is this what genius looked like?
