Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

Professor Bai took a few steps forward, his graying brows furrowed as he said, "I think Xiao Ye doesn't seem quite right, Su Ling, you’d better go check on him."

Though Professor Bai was a professor in the medical college, he still differed from a doctor. The theories he taught were different from Su Ling's practice. In the field of medicine, Su Ling clearly had more authority than him. However, when she saw Li Xueying supporting Sheng Hongye, she had no interest in dealing with this annoyance.

"Don't worry, Professor Bai. Mr. Sheng's physical condition is the best among us. He should be fine," Su Ling reassured.

But Professor Bai seemed anxious and pushed Su Ling, saying, "Even someone with good health can fall ill. We are all relying on Xiao Ye now. Please go check on him quickly."

Geng Hao also chimed in, "Sister Su Ling, you should go and see. What if the zombies attack? We still need Brother Sheng to lead us."

Su Ling felt somewhat helpless, nodding in agreement, "Alright, I'll go check on him."

Sheng Hongye's room was at the entrance on the second floor. Su Ling knocked on the door.

"Mr. Sheng, it's me."

"Come in."

A deep voice came from within, tinged with some hoarseness. Su Ling frowned; Sheng Hongye's voice had been full of energy just a moment ago. How did he become so tired in such a short time?

Pushing the door open, she saw Sheng Hongye sitting on the sofa. He was pressing his forehead, and a vein protruding on his arm, revealing the masculine strength in full display.

Su Ling averted her gaze and approached the sofa. "Professor Bai asked me to check on you."

Li Xueying came out of the bathroom with a towel in her hand. Her dress was low-cut, revealing her fair shoulders and collarbone, her demeanor exuding a certain charm. When she saw Su Ling, her face turned cold.

"Miss Su, we don't need you here. I can take care of Brother Ye."

"Sorry, but in this base, I'm the doctor," Su Ling replied firmly.

Walking over, she held Sheng Hongye's hand and felt that his body was burning up, radiating intense heat.

Li Xueying abruptly pulled Su Ling's hand away, her tone disdainful. "Brother Ye is fine. I'll help him lie down on the bed for a while."

Listening to the two arguing, Sheng Hongye's headache intensified.

"Xueying, leave first. I have something to discuss with Miss Su."

"Brother Ye, if you have questions, just ask. I won't be in your way," Li Xueying retorted stubbornly.

Seeing the opportunity slipping away, Li Xueying refused to leave.

Sheng Hongye lifted his head, his gaze icy.

Bloodshot veins filled his pupils, making him appear somewhat intimidating.

"Get out."

His expression remained emotionless as he repeated the command.

Li Xueying pursed her lips and left with resentment.

Glancing at the tightly closed door, Su Ling frowned and asked, "Where exactly do you feel uncomfortable? I have some medicine in my car; I'll go get it for you."

At this moment, Sheng Hongye's face turned red, and Su Ling suspected he might have caught a cold and fever.

But as she turned around, Sheng Hongye grabbed her wrist.

"I'm fine, no need to get the medicine," he said.

Su Ling stumbled from being pulled and fell onto Sheng Hongye's body.

The soft and warm touch made Sheng Hongye's breath hitch, and he instinctively raised his head.

Seeing those delicate and rosy lips, Sheng Hongye's throat involuntarily tightened, and his breathing inexplicably became heavier.

Su Ling blushed slightly and hurriedly stood up.

"You might really have a fever. I'll go get some cold medicine."

But in her heart, she felt that Sheng Hongye's symptoms didn't resemble a cold; it seemed more like he was drugged.

Working in a hospital for the past few years, Su Ling had encountered all kinds of medical cases, including patients affected by this type of drug. Once, she had almost been taken advantage of by a patient who had taken such a substance. Though the person apologized later, Su Ling still felt lingering fear.

Now, the increasingly blurred eyes of Sheng Hongye reminded her of that patient.

So, her first instinct was to run.

But as she moved, her waist was suddenly gripped by an unusually powerful arm, and she was tightly held.

Startled, Su Ling exclaimed as she fell onto Sheng Hongye's lap. The thin fabric of his trousers made her acutely aware that something was not right. She immediately tried to remove Sheng Hongye's hand.

"Mr. Sheng, you might have been drugged. I'll get a sedative."

"No, I only want you," Sheng Hongye's voice grew huskier, and his scorching large hand moved along the edge of her clothes.

His fiery fingers touched Su Ling's skin, making her shiver involuntarily.

She pushed Sheng Hongye away abruptly, her heart racing.

It must be Li Xueying, that shameless woman. She had actually found this kind of drug, taking her depravity to an outrageous level.

Sheng Hongye had already stood up from the sofa, his tall figure looming over Su Ling. His eyes were filled with hazy colors.

"Don't go," he reached out and embraced Su Ling.

His burning lips landed on Su Ling's.

A scent filled with male hormones entered her nostrils, causing Su Ling's back to stiffen.

If she allowed him to continue, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She gritted her teeth and raised her knee, hitting Sheng Hongye's lower abdomen.

However, even in this situation, Sheng Hongye's reaction was still very quick.

He lifted his leg and firmly and quickly pinned Su Ling down.

Su Ling felt a chill run down her spine as she was pressed against the wall.

Startled, she screamed, "Sheng Hongye, snap out of it!"

At this moment, Li Xueying was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Upon hearing Su Ling's shout, she immediately banged on the door.

"Help, someone come quick! Something's wrong with Brother Ye!"

Li Xueying's cries alerted Han Qiang and Chen Yu.

"What's going on?"

"Quick, break down the door!"

Unaware of the situation, the two of them thought Sheng Hongye was in danger and immediately knocked down the door.

Su Ling exerted all her strength to push Sheng Hongye away.

By then, Han Qiang and Chen Yu had rushed in.

Su Ling immediately shouted, "Hold him down; I'll get the medicine."

Three minutes later, Su Ling came back upstairs with the best sedative.

Professor Bai and Geng Hao were also in the room.

Without wasting any time, Su Ling quickly grabbed Sheng Hongye's arm and gave him an injection.

After a few breaths, Sheng Hongye gradually calmed down.

Professor Bai had already figured out what had happened and asked angrily, "What's going on here?"

Su Ling immediately looked at Li Xueying.

Li Xueying felt guilty and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Su Ling knew she had guessed right, so she stood up and slapped Li Xueying hard across the face.

In a cold voice, she said, "You went to search for things, just for this. Do you realize you could have killed him?"

Li Xueying's face turned blue with anger, but she knew she was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue back. At that moment, Su Rou entered the room.

Immediately, Li Xueying pointed at her and said, "It was Su Rou who gave it to me."

Seeing that the room was filled with people, Su Rou knew her plan had failed.

She couldn't help but curse Li Xueying as a useless person.

Casually, she said, "So what if it was me? Isn't it normal for men and women to have sex with each other?"

Su Ling was furious, her face turned blue with anger. She turned around and slapped Su Rou hard across the face.

"Why are you so cheap? Like mother, like daughter."

Caught off guard, Su Rou fell to the ground.

"Su Ling, how dare you hit me!"

Gritting her teeth, Su Rou got up and was about to retaliate against Su Ling.

But then, a muffled sound came from downstairs, followed by Gu Kai Xuan's panicked voice, "Uncle, something's wrong; the zombies are back!"
