Chapter 101 - Infertility side effect

XG 101 -  Infertility side effect

"My elder brother has the gene too, but his ability is too strong. He's advised not to do it unless there's no other choice, or at least until Director Choi's research team comes up with a better nutrient pill."

Suzie Yap had told them that after Chen YiWen had activated his gene, he was bedridden for nearly a month. His body was awfully thin and it was a miracle he was still alive in that dry husk state. He had to eat a lot to regain his mobility, which was difficult at that time when food was scarce.

It was truly different than now where they had people with the luxury to think up of ways to grow food and succeed.

"I would be more useful if I have an ability." Chen Yibo wanted to be strong in order to protect his family.

"But… no one had tested it yet. Why would you volunteer as part of the first batch?"

"There is not much difference between volunteering now or later." Chen Yibo shrugged. "Doing it now would allow me to help guard the base when others started to Awaken their genes and be in an unguarded state."

Wong Xue Guo's heart moved. "Doing now also avoids facing the risk of food reduction." With an increasing number of people awakening their genes, their food storage will definitely take a great hit.

Look at Vihaan, he still needs to eat a lot to recharge himself after using his ability too much.

Thinking to that extent, Wong Xue Guo also signed up as a volunteer. Besides, she was also curious about what her ability would be that the enemies would be wary of to purposely go out of their way to kill her.

After that, she stayed inside the laboratory as she waited to be called.

"Guo Guo." Suzie Yap entered the training room Wong Xue Guo had occupied. It was her tone and serious expression that told Wong Xue Guo there was something wrong. Plus, her mother usually called her 'baby' lately.

"Mother," Wong Xue Guo greeted and her gaze fell onto the person following behind Suzie Yap.

It had been more than five days since the last time Wong Xue Guo had seen Chen Yibo. Who would have thought the sentence, 'absence makes the heart fonder' would be true?

Wong Xue Guo's EQ was not bad, and she has gradually realized her change of feelings towards Chen Yibo. Even after recognizing it, she refused to accept it, as she only had a change of heart because Chen Yibo treated her well.

There was no way she could let herself fall so easily and cheaply.

But the more she tried to undermine Chen Yibo's attributes, the more she discovered they were merely trifling worries which she no longer held the same degree of dislike for them as she did long ago.

Chen Yibo was the type of innocent, upright, and caring guy that many women would want in their stable, fulfilling and lasting relationship.

Suzie Yap did not notice her daughter's unnatural stance. "I'm here to pick you up for the briefing with other volunteers."

Wong Xue Guo's eyes lit up, just as nervousness grew. Briefly making herself presentable after her training, she followed her mother out of the training room and to where the briefing would be held.

When they entered the room, there were already people inside and waiting. They were actually the last to arrive.

Randomly counting, there were around twenty volunteers, and all of them were either station guards or Charles Wong's gang members. Hong Yan and Lan Yan had wanted to volunteer as well, but both of them did not have the gene.
