Chapter 355: Chapter 354: Victims Behind the Holographic Reality Show, Part 7

This time, a total of six people had a fever, and none of them showed any signs of turning into zombies.

They woke up around the same time, and upon hearing Chen Xingyang’s question, they realized that they had awakened powers, all showing joyful expressions. Then, without any guidance, they sensed their powers.

“Water Element.” A little girl said loudly, “I am a Water Ability User,” Wu Xinxin was already extremely thirsty, and after saying this, she immediately put her fingers to her mouth. Concentrating, indeed, water started to drip from her fingertips. She quickly put her fingers in her mouth and began to gulp down the water.

The people around her were envious and wanted to step forward to take a sip. But there was no rush since Wu Xinxin had awakened as a Water Ability User. Once she had her fill, it would surely be their turn.

“I’m also Water Element.” Yan Jie, a middle-aged man with a limp, after seeing Wu Xinxin’s action, also used his power to produce water, directing every drop into his mouth. His face was full of a satisfied smile, and he appeared more relaxed.

The people around were feeling parched and could only watch eagerly.

Liao Jiaying glanced at Yan Jie and Wu Xinxin and said nothing. She focused on her powers with a smile of joy. In a post-apocalyptic world, in a time of water scarcity, one could imagine just how high her status was as a Water Ability User. Everyone would have to treat her with respect. As long as there is water, she and her grandson wouldn’t starve, and there would be plenty of people willing to bring food to them.

If someone displeased her, well, they wouldn’t have water to drink.

Beside her stood a little boy, about nine years old, who also fell unconscious this time. She asked softly, “Yao Yao, what power did you awaken?”

“Grandma, it’s Fire Element.” Ling Yao was not very happy, continuously staring at Yan Jie and Wu Xinxin drinking water, holding onto Liao Jiaying’s sleeve, “Grandma, I’m thirsty, I want to drink water, make them give me water.”

He was now staring at Wu Xinxin, wishing he could run over and grab her hand. Yan Jie, though a limping man, was still tall and burly with a somewhat fierce appearance. He didn’t dare look at him.

“Ah, Grandma overlooked that,” Liao Jiaying patted her head, immediately using her power, while telling Ling Yao to open his mouth. She released a stream of clear water, “Yao Yao, quickly drink water, Grandma is a Water Ability User, we will not lack water to drink in our family anymore.”

Ling Yao finally stopped looking at Wu Xinxin and started drinking the water in large gulps.

He had barely drunk a few mouthfuls before the water stopped flowing from Liao Jiaying’s fingers. He grabbed her hand forcefully, which hurt her a bit: “Grandma, it’s not enough, I want more water!!”

Liao Jiaying, of course, would not blame her grandson, frowning and trying to activate her power again. Her face turned completely red, but no water came forth.

She quickly soothed Ling Yao: “Yao Yao, there’s no more at the moment.”

“They have, they still have!” Ling Yao’s gaze fixed back on Wu Xinxin, making Liao Jiaying come to her senses.

With a loving smile, she first comforted her grandson, then quickly walked over to Wu Xinxin: “Xinxin, can you give my Yao Yao some water to drink?”

Ling Yao had already come over and grabbed Wu Xinxin’s hand, pulling it away from her mouth, but just like with Liao Jiaying, no water came out from the fingertips. However, he refused to let go, saying loudly: “Wu Xinxin, quickly bring out the water for me to drink, or I’ll burn you with a fireball.”

Saying this, he raised his hand. He thought that since he had awakened the Fire Element, would it be like fireballs in cartoons?

Ling Yao became interested and didn’t care if Wu Xinxin would release water, deciding to create a fireball to play with.

Instantly, a fireball appeared at his fingertip, but it was only the size of a marble.

Wu Xinxin was genuinely startled; she knew what a fireball was. After all, kids watched cartoons.

But seeing how small the fireball was, she wasn’t afraid anymore.

Ling Yao was dumbfounded; wasn’t the fireball supposed to be at least as big as a fist?

Liao Jiaying paused, and everyone else who was worried breathed a sigh of relief. Some had already guessed that perhaps the level was too low right now.

Ling Yao felt embarrassed and made the fireball disappear, glaring at Wu Xinxin fiercely: “Hurry up and make water come out.”

Wu Xinxin said, “There’s no water.”

Ling Yao didn’t believe it, holding onto Wu Xinxin’s hand and refusing to let go. He opened his mouth, about to suck on her fingertip, but was pushed away by Wu Xinxin. Ling Yao wasn’t paying attention and staggered from the push. Liao Jiaying wouldn’t stand for this and reached to grab Wu Xinxin, but Yan Jie blocked her.

“Don’t you have water yourself? Why bully a little girl?” Yan Jie’s somewhat fierce face was indeed intimidating, so Liao Jiaying dared not do anything more, “There’s no water now, you are also a superpower user, you should understand.”

“If you want more water, you probably need to upgrade.” He added.

“What abilities have you awakened?” He looked at the other two people, one was a pregnant woman named Li Na, the other was a young girl with a pale complexion, apparently suffering from a severe illness. It was unexpected that she awakened a superpower, maybe it will save her life, her name is Mo Xue.

Li Na, seeing that everyone was looking at her, subconsciously moved closer to Wen Chulin.

Before encountering Wen Chulin and these few college students, their group of the weak and sick huddled together for warmth was not very peaceful, only temporarily united out of weakness. A pregnant woman like her, with a big belly, always faced the risk of being abandoned when crisis struck.

Compared to these people, she felt the few college students willing to take them along were very kind.

She had already moved to Jie Weiwei’s side. Based on their recent interactions, despite this little girl being somewhat pampered, she seemed to come from a good family and had a really kind heart, taking care of her along the way. Now that she has awakened her power, sticking with Jie Weiwei seemed like the best option.

Only then did she speak: “I have Ice Ability.”

After speaking, she condensed two pieces of ice in her hand, giving one to Jie Weiwei: “This is for you, thank you for your care recently, but I can only produce two small pieces a day.”

The total size was just about the size of an ice cream, definitely not enough for everyone.

Jie Weiwei was extremely thirsty and didn’t hesitate, immediately licking the ice.

Li Na did the same; as a pregnant woman, she struggled more than others. By licking the ice, her thirst was slightly quenched, even though it made her even thirstier inside, yearning to drink much more water, it at least provided some relief compared to others.

Jie Weiwei was so parched, she wanted all the ice water to melt into her mouth, completely forgetting her surroundings.

Mo Xue was being eyed by the crowd, feeling scared and planning to move toward He Guiyun.

Just then, Rong Man quickly came over to support her: “Mo Xue, come over to our side. What power did you awaken?”
