Chapter 69: Turmoil

Chapter 69: Turmoil

Early the next morning, as soon as Xiao Hua had just finished washing up and came out of her bedroom, she heard noises coming from downstairs.

Now that Xiao Hua's hearing had greatly improved, she could effortlessly overhear the conversation downstairs.

"…Some soldiers were attacked by zombies, and ordinary doctors are unable to treat them. I want to request Su Mo to help."

"Su Mo, would you be willing to go?"

"Of course, I'm willing. Please take me to the soldiers, General."

From her vantage point at the top of the stairs, Xiao Hua saw General Zou, Xiao Zui, and Su Mo downstairs. After a few exchanges, the three of them headed out.

Xiao Hua's hand rested on the staircase, motionless, as she tried to recall if there was any related plot in the original story.

In the book, after Su Mo's powers were exposed, various factions scrambled to either recruit or eliminate her, and some even wanted to capture her for research. The protagonist group had to confront numerous factions to protect her, which spanned several chapters.

A soft click brought Xiao Hua back to her senses.

Bai Mu opened the door and found Xiao Hua standing right there. He was briefly surprised before smiling. "Xiao Hua, what's wrong?"

Xiao Hua relayed what she had overheard and, combining it with the plot from the book in her mind, said, "The ability to eliminate the zombie virus is highly coveted. Su Mo might face a lot of trouble."

And since they were all in the same boat, if Su Mo were to become a target, Xiao Hua…

"Indeed," Bai Mu also pondered over a solution and then asked, "Is Su Mo the only one with this ability?"

"Of course, why else would General Zou come to her specifically?" Xiao Hua replied, puzzled. It was a given that the female lead would be a highly sought-after special existence.

Bai Mu gently shook his head. "I mean, could this ability be something that all healing powers enhanced individuals possess, but Su Mo just awakened it first?"

Healing powers?

That's right!

Whether in the story or now, Su Mo's powers had advanced much faster than other healing powers, which was why she had awakened the ultimate healing skill so early. But this was only because the other healing powers were still too weak. Once their powers reached level three, they could also eliminate the zombie virus within the body.

Xiao Hua had a sudden realization and gave a hard slap on the railing.

Bai Mu reached out and quickly retracted his hand, laughing at Xiao Hua's excited expression. "Careful, does your hand not hurt?"

"It's fine, I got carried away," Xiao Hua replied, not minding it at all. "Brother Bai, you're such a clever one."

Bai Mu couldn't help but laugh.

After figuring this out, Xiao Hua fell into another dilemma. With no one around, she voiced her concerns to Bai Mu.

"Now that Su Mo is the only one who can eliminate the zombie virus, what about the other healing powers who don't have crystal nuclei to enhance their strength? Most of them are still struggling at level one, what can we do?"

"We can wait for them to return and first confirm whether this ability is unique to Su Mo or if all healing powers enhanced individuals can possess it."

Bai Mu paused and suggested a solution, "If it's as we guessed, we can spread the news to shift the attention to all healing powers enhanced individuals."

Xiao Hua's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea. We could also lay low for a while and only reappear once there are other enhanced individuals who can eliminate the zombie virus."

Bai Mu nodded with a smile.

Xiao Hua and Bai Mu waited together until 1 PM, when Su Mo and Xiao Zui finally returned.

As soon as the two appeared, Xiao Hua couldn't help frowning at their poor condition.

Su Mo's face was slightly pale, and her overall mental state didn't look great either.

Xiao Hua quickly helped Su Mo sit on the sofa and examined her face carefully. "What happened?"

Su Mo, with her head resting on Xiao Hua's shoulder, said weakly, "I went to treat a soldier who was scratched. He started resisting desperately after just a short while, almost hurting the people around him."

Xiao Hua was speechless for a moment.

Treating Bai Mu had gone so smoothly that she had forgotten to remind Su Mo.

Looking at Su Mo's pale face, Xiao Hua suddenly felt a little guilty and hurriedly asked, "Did you get hurt?"

"No, the captain held him down, but the treatment was quite exhausting."

Xiao Hua understood. No wonder Xiao Zui's clothes were disheveled, with several scratches on his jacket.

Seeing that Su Mo was okay, she remembered her discussion with Bai Mu and asked, "People have noticed your ability. Has anyone had any ulterior motives?"

Su Mo's body stiffened.

Xiao Zui, recalling what had just happened, spoke through gritted teeth, "The moment they realized what Xiao Mo could do, they started paying attention to her. If it weren't for General Zou holding them back, the consequences could have been severe."

Xiao Hua thought back to the plot in the book. Those who were eyeing Su Mo were certainly not good people.

Although she knew the plot, Xiao Hua still casually asked Su Mo, "Xiao Mo, is this ability unique to you, or can all healers have it?"

Su Mo blinked in confusion. "I think... all healers can have it? I find it quite simple."

Xiao Hua guided her, "In other words, if other healers reach level three, they can also have this ability."

"Yes, that's right," Su Mo nodded in agreement.

Xiao Hua and Bai Mu exchanged a glance, then laid out the conclusions they had discussed. Finally, Xiao Hua asked, "So, what do you think? Do you agree?"

Su Mo: "Sure, whatever works."

Xiao Zui didn't object either.

Soon after, Bai Mu went out with Zhao Ye and the others. They returned to the villa before nightfall and indicated that everything had been taken care of.
