Chapter 117: Awakening

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In fact, Ye Xingchen had thought about this a long time ago, even when he was reborn.

He could mutate, possess superpowers, and even be reborn before his death. That meant that there must be other superpowers besides him.

Mo Qi was one, and Zhao Hao was probably another.

However, Ye Xingchen didn’t know how Mo Qi mutated. He only heard Mo Qi say that she seemed to be dying at that time, and then when she opened her eyes, she suddenly found that she had a special ability.

This time, Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia witnessed Zhao Hao come back to life from a near-death state.

Could it be that the awakening condition of the superpower was to go to the gates of hell and reach the state of near death before it could trigger the awakening condition?

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Sijia again. “Mo Qi said that she awakened her ability. She felt like she was dead, and then she woke up.”

Ye Xingchen thought about his superpower again. In his previous life, he did not have any superpowers either. He only awakened it after his rebirth.

Could it be that the condition to awaken a superpower was to be on the verge of death?!

All of a sudden, Ye Xingchen’s heart calmed down a lot.

With such harsh triggering conditions, there were probably very few people with superpowers in this world. Even if they triggered their superpowers, there was no treatment around them that could save them. Even if they awakened their superpowers, they would not be able to use them.

In this way, the enemies that Ye Xingchen might encounter in the future would be much fewer.

Lin Sijia glanced at the surveillance footage a few times and was a little worried.

“You feel okay about letting Li Anran take care of Brother Zhao?”

In the video, Li Anran took out a can of Coke from the fridge and drank half of it in one gulp.

Although she said that she was taking care of him, Li Anran only went into the small room to check a few times. After confirming that Zhao Hao was already asleep on the bed, she ran to the toilet to get some water and washed herself inside and out.

After washing up, Li Anran directly closed the door of the small room. Then, she hugged Little Treasure and lay on the sofa in the living room to sleep. She did not care about Zhao Hao the whole time.

Of course, Ye Xingchen didn’t get involved in their matters. He slept until dawn, had breakfast with Lin Sijia, and went straight down to the third floor.

At this time, Li Anran had already finished washing up and was nursing the child.

“How is Brother Zhao today?”

When Lin Sijia asked Li Anran, Li Anran looked up at Ye Xingchen. “Brother Zhao hasn’t woken up yet. 1 went to take a look just now.”

Li Anran didn’t try to avoid any looks. She even turned a little closer to Ye Xingchen so that the snow-white skin under her clothes was exposed to Ye Xingchen’s eyes.

Ye Xingchen’s expression was normal as if he couldn’t see anything. On the other hand, Lin Sijia’s face darkened.

She raised her hand and tugged at the hem of Ye Xingchen’s clothes. Then, she pulled Ye Xingchen into the small room where Zhao Hao was, leaving Li Anran alone outside to nurse the child.

“How are you still looking at her?!”

Lin Sijia glared at Ye Xingchen and left him by the door. She walked straight to Zhao Hao’s bed.

Yesterday, Ye Xingchen only cuffed one of Zhao Hao’s hands to the headboard to prevent any abnormalities or mutations from happening to Zhao Hao that would hurt Lin Sijia.

On Zhao Hao’s other hand, Lin Sijia was treating his wounds. After checking all the data, she had handcuffed him before leaving the small room. She was mainly afraid that Zhao Hao would tear his wounds again if he moved around.

“Brother Zhao’s injuries have completely healed.”

Lin Sijia checked the wounds on Zhao Hao’s body over and over, especially the few places where the bones could be seen.

“This is amazing. Look here.”

Lin Sijia gently lifted Zhao Hao’s calf with gloves and pointed it out to Ye Xingchen.

“Yesterday, this entire piece of flesh was bitten off here. Today, it’s actually all grown back.”

There was a large piece of flesh on Zhao Hao’s calf that was pink in color. This was new flesh that had just grown out, and it was clearly different from the old black and yellow flesh beside it.

“Your abilities are really amazing. 1 even felt Brother Zhao’s pulse. His pulse was clearly very weak yesterday, and it was almost impossible to feel it. Now, it actually seems stronger than a teenager or someone in their twenties.”

Ye Xingchen was also very curious about what kind of ability Zhao Hao would awaken. After all, Zhao Hao’s terrifying recovery ability was something that he had never possessed before.

“I feel that Brother Zhao might wake up soon.”

Zhao Hao had only opened his eyes briefly last night. However, Lin Sijia realized that Zhao Hao was still unconscious at that time. After a tranquilizer shot, Zhao Hao had not moved since then.

“Give Brother Zhao another shot of tranquilizer.”

Other than curiosity, Ye Xingchen was more worried. He was afraid that Zhao Hao would lose his mind and attack indiscriminately when he woke up.

“As long as we can ensure that Brother Zhao can’t move.”

After waiting for an entire morning, Ye Xingchen took out a bag of frozen bread and gave it to Li Anran. He also included a bag of marinated meat, all of which were things that had been found in the supermarket.

After lunch and his afternoon nap, Zhao Hao still showed no signs of waking up.

“How much longer will it take for Brother Zhao to wake up? 1 clearly felt that he was about to wake up.”

Lin Sijia was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Zhao Hao should have woken up in the morning.

Ye Xingchen pulled out the surveillance footage and observed the group of people at the entrance of the neighborhood while keeping an eye on Zhao Hao’s small room.

It wasn’t until Lin Sijia had finished cooking dinner and Li Anran had finished eating that Zhao Hao heard some movement.

“He’s awake!”

Lin Sijia put down the bowls and chopsticks that were half-cleaned and hurriedly pulled Ye Xingchen downstairs.

In the small room, Zhao Hao struggled to sit up on the bed. Li Anran was still taking a shower in the bathroom. Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia were already standing beside Zhao Hao.

“How is it, Brother Zhao? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Ye Xingchen took a step forward with a glass of water, while Zhao Hao’s face was filled with confusion.

“Where am 1… Am I dead? Little Ye, why are you here? And Doctor Lin, are you here too?”

The cup reached Zhao Hao’s mouth. Just as Zhao Hao was about to reach out to take it, he realized that his hands were cuffed to the headboard.

“What’s going on?”

Zhao Hao only remembered that he was bitten by many people. Later on, it seemed that Ye Xingchen had rushed over. After that, his vision went black and he lost consciousness.

“Hiss, why is my body aching?”

Zhao Hao twisted his neck unnaturally.

“It’s good that you’re fine, Brother Zhao. This is my house. Don’t move around. Little Jia handcuffed your hands mainly because she was afraid that you would tear your wounds if you moved around..”
