Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 163 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (16)

Half an hour passed quickly, but to Han Xingzhi, it felt like an eternity.

Just when he thought a miracle wouldn't happen to her, the woman's eyelashes, which had been closed for a long time, suddenly trembled a few times. Although the trembling was so small as to be almost invisible, it was so obvious in Han Xingzhi's eyes.

"Aran? Aran!" Almost the instant he saw An Xiaoran's eyelashes flutter, Han Xingzhi excitedly grabbed her hand and softly called her name. This was the first time he had seen An Xiaoran do anything other than fall asleep since being infected with the zombie virus.

But An Xiaoran did not open her eyes immediately when he called her. Her eyes suddenly closed tightly, and even her originally relaxed brows furrowed tightly, as if she was being tormented by great pain.

Seeing his beloved suffer such pain, Han Xingzhi abruptly turned his face towards where Shi Qi had come from: "What happened to her?"

Shi Qi sensed the murderous intent lurking in Han Xingzhi's eyes, and explained somewhat speechlessly, "...Superpowers aren't something that can be awakened overnight." Although he could roughly understand Han Xingzhi's feelings.

Han Xing belatedly looked away; he had indeed been somewhat distracted by concern.

The immense pain caused An Xiaoran, who was unconscious on the bed, to involuntarily curl up, and the stray hairs on her forehead were gradually soaked with cold sweat.

All Han Xingzhi could do was wipe her sweat, but he couldn't share any of the physical suffering she was enduring.

This process lasted for nearly two hours. During this time, Shi Qi even went out to check on Si Yan and the others. Only after confirming that they would not wake up early did he return to the room with peace of mind.

As time went by, An Xiaoran's condition visibly improved; at least her face no longer showed any signs of pain.

Moreover, she didn't seem to have any zombie-like features, so Shi Qi guessed that her superpowers should have been successfully awakened.

As if to confirm Shi Qi's suspicions, An Xiaoran slowly opened her eyes, and there was nothing unusual in her dark pupils.

"Xingzhi..." An Xiaoran's voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time. She immediately saw Han Xingzhi standing by her bedside and subconsciously called out his name.

"I'm here!" Han Xingzhi responded immediately, his face filled with the joy of having regained what he had lost.

An Xiaoran stiffly raised her hand, and Han Xingzhi thought she wanted to touch him, but to his surprise, An Xiaoran gently placed her fingers on his lower eyelid: "Your eyes..."

Upon hearing her words, Han Xingzhi's smile froze on his face. He subconsciously turned his face away, but ultimately couldn't bear to let An Xiaoran's hand miss its mark.

He held An Xiaoran's hand in his own, but dared not look her in the eye: "Um... I've become a zombie..."

He knew that An Xiaoran hated zombies, and although he also hated himself for being a zombie, he was ready to accept An Xiaoran's hatred.

However, just as he was sinking into self-loathing, An Xiaoran reached out her other hand and turned his face back: "Xingzhi, this isn't your fault..."

Shi Qi knew that staying any longer might be impolite, so he retreated with a "very low profile," slowly leaving the room that couldn't accommodate a third person.

Arriving at where Si Yan had fallen asleep, Shi Qi silently lifted his head again and placed it on his shoulder. Honestly, he didn't need to envy other single people, okay?

007 seems a little abused—?

Si Yan was still sleeping soundly. Even when his head was lifted, he only frowned slightly, and when he leaned on Shi Qi's shoulder, his brows relaxed naturally. It has to be said that Han Xingzhi's superpower was quite effective.

After a long while, the door was finally opened from the inside. Perhaps because she had been lying down for several months and was still unable to walk freely, An Xiaoran was helped out by Han Xingzhi.

The two slowly approached Shi Qi. With Han Xingzhi's support, An Xiaoran bowed slightly to Shi Qi: "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I might never have woken up and never have seen Xingzhi again." She then bowed again.

After she finished her second bow, Han Xingzhi helped her sit down and said softly, "Wait here for me for a moment, I'll be right back."

When Han Xingzhi returned, he had a container, neither too big nor too small, filled with nutrient solution, which contained the plant that Jiang Weilan had described.

Han Xingzhi placed the container on the ground: "This is what you're looking for, but I'm not sure if it will really help in developing a vaccine, after all..." Han Xingzhi didn't finish his sentence, but Shi Qi could roughly guess what he meant.

However, Shi Qi was very clear that although it had not cured An Xiaoran, this plant was indeed essential for the development of a zombie virus vaccine.

Seeing that Shi Qi didn't react much, Han Xingzhi didn't pay much attention. Then, very understandingly, he said, "I will take A Ran away from here and I won't reveal your identity to your teammates." Clearly, he was asking Shi Qi if he could let them go.

Shi Qi wasn't exactly a vicious person, but before they left, he still reminded them, "One day in the future, a vaccine will definitely be successfully developed."

Han Xingzhi could hear a hint of comfort in Shi Qi's words. Although he didn't know where Shi Qi got his confidence from, Han Xingzhi still nodded politely and then helped An Xiaoran leave.

Watching them leave, Shi Qi sighed silently. It seemed he would have to find another level-seven zombie for Si Yan to level up...

Si Yan felt like he had been sleeping for a long time in a daze. When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was a white head on his chest. It was obvious who its owner was.

"Si Yan's favorable impression +10"

Looking at Shi Qi's peaceful sleeping face in his arms, Si Yan's first reaction was not to push him away, but to pull him closer to himself.

Although he didn't know why Shi Qi's body was still cool in his arms, Si Yan still had a very inappropriate description in his mind—the person in his arms was fragrant and soft, making him not want to let go of him at all.

Trapped in his arms, Shi Qi, who was completely unlike her usual sweet and soft self, pretended to have just woken up and slowly opened her eyes. But when she opened her eyes, she found that the person who was supposed to be awake had closed his eyes again at some point.

007 ruthlessly exposed: "I saw it all! As soon as he saw you make a move, host, he closed his eyes! He was just pretending!"

Si Yan, who was pretending to be dead, counted the seconds in his mind, then opened his eyes and said the first thing: "How did you end up in my arms?"

Shi Qi: "..."
