Card Room Book 2

CR: Chapter 220

Xiao Lou's face turned pale upon hearing Ye Qi's words.

He could feel that Shao Qingge hated Cheng Ziyang. Everyone knew that Shao Qingge didn't have a good impression of Cheng Ziyang after he betrayed Ye Qi. However, with Shao Qingge's character, he wouldn't directly kill a person.

Yet just now, Shao Qingge used the hair dryer to throw Cheng Ziyang into the raging flames!

Cheng Ziyang would've definitely burned to ashes in the flames. Shao Qingge must've had a problem with Cheng Ziyang to act in this way. Combined with Xue Qing's scream... it turned out that the four of them were attacked by the bugs when they were still above ground. Chief Shao was even infected!

At this time, the university students of the Distant Association were still following. They might do something to Shao Qingge if they knew he was infected. They absolutely couldn't learn about it.

Xiao Lou immediately calmed down his emotions and told Yu Hanjiang the bad news through the heart channel. Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly and walked to Ye Qi, asking in a low voice. "What's the situation?"

Ye Qi's nose was tingly and he bowed his head to hold back his tears. "Just now, two bugs sneaked onto the roof and escaped Li Qingzhao's control. They suddenly attacked from the rear. I didn't notice and Chief Shao was scratched by the bugs to protect me..."

Yu Hanjiang wondered, "Cheng Ziyang was also infected so Chief Shao blew him into the fire?"

Ye Qi shook his head. "No, when Cheng Ziyang was attacked, he pulled Xue Qing in front of him and this caused Xue Qing to be infected."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang exchanged looks. Based on Ye Qi's description, they could imagine the situation at the time. They were attacked by the bugs and Cheng Ziyang chose to use his teammate to block the knife while Shao Qingge chose to take the risk to protect his teammate.

These were two completely different approaches. A person's subconscious response in a crisis was enough to show their character. They didn't believe that Shao Qingge was wrong. Don't look at how he was usually lazy. He slept all day in the main city, lay down to win in the Hearts secret room and always teased them...

However, Xiao Lou really admired his courage in a critical moment!

Seeing Ye Qi's pale face, Xiao Lou gently held his shoulder. "Don't blame yourself too much. Protecting you is his own choice. You can't be blamed. If you are infected then everyone would still be sad."

Ye Qi lowered his head and said nothing.

Xiao Lou continued, "Moreover, being infected isn't hopeless. Didn't Group Leader Yu analyze it before? The data will be reset after an A-grade secret room and the challengers' injuries in the secret room will be automatically cleared. As long as we protect Chief Shao and don't let him die, he will be able to recover after returning to the main city. He will become the former safe and sound Chief Shao."

Ye Qi nodded slightly. "Um..."

Xiao Lou asked, "Do you still feel his signal now? You are connected with Heart has a Tacit Exchange of Romantic Feelings right?"

Ye Qi tentatively asked Shao Qingge in his mind, "Chief Shao, can you hear me?"

Shao Qingge laughed in his mind. "I can hear you. I haven't mutated yet and there are no special sensations in my body. Perhaps the bug is still adapting to my body?"

Ye Qi told Xiao Lou the result.

Xiao Lou sighed with relief. After being infected, it would take a while to completely mutate. It was the same for the patients who were previously seen in the hospital. They were normal at first but after mutating, they would uncontrollably attack humans. Of course, those who were out of control would be the lower level bugs. The smarter ones would pretend to be human for a sneak attack.
