I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

Chapter 145

Chapter 145

TL: Moonlit

The last chapter huhuhu

Half a month later, when Feng Chengs injuries had just recovered, he came to Civilization City alone. He stood outside the city walls without entering.

Entering someone elses territory without permission could be seen as a provocation. With Tong in their hands, Feng Cheng didnt dare to act recklessly. He came alone to make a statement. He genuinely came to retrieve someone, not to fight or seek revenge Besides, he might not even win a fight, especially considering the resemblance between Tong and that person. If they could coexist peacefully and return Tong to him, Feng Cheng could let go of his grudge and hindrance to becoming the king.

Feeling Feng Chengs presence, the young boy became excited. He had been obedient for half a month, and now Feng Cheng had finally come to take him away.

The young boy looked at Xiao Hen with shining eyes, hoping that he would keep his promise.

Upon learning that Feng Cheng had arrived, Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen immediately came to where the boy was. Faced with such a boy, Wen Qingling couldnt bring himself to be angry. Liking and relying on someone was not something one could decide for themselves.

Perhaps Feng Cheng had genuinely treated the boy well; otherwise, the boy wouldnt have been so fixated on him.

Xiao Hen brought Wen Qingling and the boy, appearing on the city wall together.

Feng Chengs gaze fell first on the boy, as if inspecting him for any injuries or grievances. Wen Qingling couldnt help but want to punch him when he saw his protective appearance.

Wen Qingling asked him, Can you tell whose child he is now?

Feng Cheng felt wronged and replied, Hes from your family but I found him and raised him.

If he could overpower them, he wouldnt waste time talking. He would simply take the boy away.

Wen Qingling coldly snorted, Youre so fond of our child?

Feng Cheng nodded repeatedly, I I can take care of him.

Wen Qingling maintained an authoritative tone, If you take him away, can you protect him?

Feng Cheng continued nodding, I can, definitely.

Wen Qingling lifted his chin, Then let me ask you, how did Tong suddenly grow up?

Feng Cheng:

Wen Qingling didnt hide the truth from him either, I have two more children at home who just dont grow, no matter how they eat.

Feng Cheng felt a bit hurt. It seemed like his energy reserves were being used by someone else. Its energy.

Wen Qinglings eyes brightened. When they were feeding Kui Bao, they only provided meat and never gave them energy. It seemed that as long as they saved enough energy, the children could grow.

Afterward, Wen Qingling made a few more requests before allowing Feng Cheng to take the boy away.

This decision surprised not only Feng Cheng and the boy but even Xiao Hen didnt expect Wen Qingling to agree so readily.

Wen Qingling turned arrogantly and said, Since the child wants to go with him, then let him. Having more bodyguards is not a bad thing. Besides, he cant defeat us, and he wouldnt dare to mistreat Tong.

Feng Cheng:

The threat in his words was palpable!

Before leaving, Wen Qingling suddenly remembered something, and Feng Cheng immediately pulled the boy behind him to hide.

Wen Qingling:

Wen Qingling said, Tone down your arrogant attitude. Stop flirting around with others. Whats the use of flirting with those foreign zombies? Are you clearing the field for the foreign invaders? Did they pay you for your services? Instead of being proactive, return those foreign zombies and let them fight amongst themselves. Thats when itll be interesting.

Wen Qingling held grudges. Each country that had bombed Civilization City would be accounted for. No one would be able to escape.

Feng Cheng agreed with a nod and turned to leave.

Wen Qingling called him back again, Hey, do you want to call me Dad?

Feng Cheng:

Feng Cheng:

Feng Chengs temples throbbed as he quickly flew away with the boy in his arms. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, they might end up fighting again.

Xiao Hen was also shocked by Wen Qinglings words. It was incredible that someone older than him would call him Dad. How could he come up with such an idea?

Among Wen Qinglings conditions, one of them was access to the resources in Yunjing City, which Civilization City could use freely.

Wen Qingling had set his sights on the various major research institutes in Yunjing City. There must be many talented researchers there, and Wen Qingling loved talent the most.

Without delay, the next day, Wen Qingling took Xiao Hen to Yunjing City. After careful consideration, they brought back all the people and items that Wen Qingling was interested in. Now Civilization City wouldnt lack management personnel.

A month later, after accumulating a certain quantity of detoxifiers, vaccines, and conversion agents, Civilization City released a message that all civilized zombies and new humans could go out and search for their own relatives.

The converted relatives had to live within Civilization City, while human relatives could live outside the city or in affiliated bases. If they wanted to live in Civilization City, they needed to apply in advance and pass the review to be admitted.

The entire Civilization City was in an uproar, and even the three affiliated bases learned about this news. Almost everyone had relatives who had turned into zombies. They never dreamed that one day zombies could be converted into new humans!

The three affiliated bases immediately applied to Civilization City, hoping to find their zombie relatives. They asked if Civilization City could sell them conversion agents, and Wen Qingling agreed.

The usage of the conversion agents would be: first batch for Civilization City, second batch for the three affiliated bases, and the third batch for Lan City. After that, there would be no more batches, and it would be extremely difficult for survivors outside these three batches to obtain the conversion agents.

The same distribution method would apply to detoxifiers and vaccines.

When the survivors realized that they wanted to join the three affiliated bases and Lan City, it was already too late. The three affiliated bases were already full and no longer accepting external survivors. Everyone took pride in being part of the three affiliated bases.

Lan Citys City Lord was Old Xue, and Xiao Jiang was in charge of military affairs. Having learned from the lesson of the Central Giant City, they didnt accept just anyone into their base. There were conditions for those who wanted to join Lan City, and the conditions were not low.

Civilization City and the three affiliated bases couldnt be entered, so every day many survivors went to Lan City to try their luck.

After the completion of Lan City, Lei City and Jiao City were also built, with Lei Jiang single-handedly building Lei City and Mo Jiang building Jiao City.

Now, with the conversion agents, more and more bases began to transform into cities. However, building a city was not an easy task, especially after Wen Qingling and Feng Cheng disbanded the zombie horde. Zombies were everywhere outside, and without real power, it was impossible to build a city.

Under Lei Yuxiaos efforts, Lei City finally ranked fourth in the batch for the distribution of medicine.

Jiao City was also making efforts. They repeatedly traveled to Civilization City and used generous conditions to break through the barriers, making Jiao City part of the fifth batch for the distribution of medicine.

Apart from these five batches, no other bases could obtain the medicine.

The voices that used Wen Qingling being a zombie as an excuse to refuse any contact with Civilization City disappeared. The high-level individuals who had once been the most enthusiastic were no longer in Lan City, Lei City, or Jiao City. Xiao Jiang, Lei Jiang, and Mo Jiang had all rejected these high-level individuals from joining together. Whether it was due to resentment over the destruction of the Central Giant City or to avoid Wen Qinglings wrath, their choice was also a statement.

They were willing to establish good relations with Civilization City.

Especially Lan City and Lei City, they were united and would never have second thoughts about Civilization City. Xiao Jiang, Old Xue, and the father-son duo from the Lei family all owed their lives to Wen Qingling. Moreover, their son and father were both in Civilization City, so what reason did they have not to stand with Civilization City?

Mo Jiang was a clever person. The fate of Huaxia was in the hands of Civilization City, and Jiao City needed to establish a good relationship with them.

The Central Giant City was breached, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. The remaining survivors scattered and fled. Among the survivors who followed Mo Jiang to escape, not even one survived. There were too many survivors outside, all seeking a powerful base to settle in. However, the five strongest bases became increasingly difficult to enter. It was no longer an era where anyone could enter a base just by being a survivor.

The landscape of the entire Huaxia underwent a complete reshuffling after the fall of the Central Giant City.

Civilization City became the undisputed number one base.

Those who knew the history of Xiang County Base, Xu County Base, and Yue County Base also wanted to achieve great success. They voluntarily brought their bases and became affiliated bases of Civilization City, hoping to receive the same treatment as the three major affiliated bases.

Unfortunately, the first affiliated base, Xiang County Base, was hard-won by Chang Boheng. After that, the decision to accept Xu County and Yue County was made solely by Wen Qingling himself. No one could influence Wen Qinglings decisions.

Wen Qingling was not a soft-hearted person. Those with ulterior motives were chased away by the guardian beasts of Civilization City, the mutant doll cat and the mutant cow, for a long distance. Along the way, the two guardian beasts even fought each other.

The mutant doll cat had never liked that stupid cow and couldnt fight it within the city. So when they left the city, the ragdoll cat scratched and scratched the cow, but the cows skin was too thick. The ragdoll cats claws were getting sore, and the stupid cow didnt respond at all. The ragdoll cat became so angry that it ignored the cow.

The number of new humans in Civilization City was increasing, while the number of civilized zombies remained relatively stable.

Unless there were special circumstances, Wen Qingling would only provide blood anemones to those he wanted to give greater strength to, turning them into civilized zombies. For example, Xia Jiang and the generals who stayed behind in the Central Giant City with him, Wen Qingling wanted to promote them and would definitely grant them power.

Becoming a civilized zombie had become a matter of pride.

There was no difference between civilized zombies and new humans except for their power. If they were valued by the City Lord and granted blood anemone liquids with higher purity, they would have the strength equivalent to Level 4 to Level 6 Evolved Zombies immediately after transformation. These were things that new humans could only dream of.

The physical abilities and capabilities of new humans were far superior to ordinary people. Their social status was rising, even if they werent Ability Users, they possessed strength comparable to Ability Users.

Ability Users were rare, but in Civilization City, every resident was a new human with strengths comparable to Ability Users. This fact made Civilization City inviolable and the most desirable place for everyone.

Upon hearing Feng Chengs words, Wen Qingling had Xiao Jiang feed the two children some Beast Crystals every day. The two children didnt know how to absorb energy, so they simply treated the Beast Crystals as candy and happily chewed on them.

After some time, the effects became evident. The two little ones grew taller, and the tentacles and mouth discs on their heads disappeared, replaced by black hair. As they gradually grew older, they no longer resembled Wen Qingling as much, only faintly carrying traces of his features. As they grew a bit older, they no longer had any resemblance to Wen Qingling and developed their own unique appearance.

Wen Qingling was not surprised by this. The blood anemone that came from his heart was different from the ordinary blood anemones. Tong was developed from the blood anemones from his heart, while the other two were developed from ordinary blood anemones. Before transforming into civilized zombies, they had absorbed the blood of countless people, resulting in a mix of genes. It was possible for them to develop into various appearances.

The first blood anemone, Kui Bao No. 1, grew completely freely. After absorbing the toxic blood of so many people, it selected the best genes to grow, becoming handsome with red lips and white teeth. However, Kui Bao No. 2 started to resemble Old Xue more and more.

Xiao Heng was extremely unhappy about this. Every time he came home, he would stare at Kui Bao No. 2 with cold, icy eyes.

This frustrating feeling was similar to when ones wife gave birth to a child with someone else. Although it wasnt a biological birth, the fact that Wen Qingling contributed a drop of blood and then Kui Bao absorbed Old Xues toxic blood to become what it was now made Xiao Heng shiver.

One time, Old Xue came to Civilization City for a discussion and saw Kui Bao No. 2. He couldnt hold back and burst into tears on the spot.

Kui Bao No. 2 looked exactly like Old Xues deceased son. He resembled his son so much that Old Xue couldnt help but be reminded of him. It was too much for him to bear.

After that, Old Xue kept inquiring about the childs origins, trying to find out if this was his lost grandson. How could he look so much like his deceased son?

Wen Qingling said, Hes not your grandson. He should be your son.

Pfft!

Old Xue spewed hot tea out of his mouth, his face turning red. When did he have such a grown-up son?!

Xiao Heng felt a headache coming on. Under Old Xues persistent questioning, he finally told him that this was the chubby child who appeared by his side at the time, and he grew up by absorbing Old Xues toxic blood. Thats why he looked so much like him.

After digesting this news, Old Xue made a decision he wanted to personally raise Kui Bao No. 2!

In order to secure custody of Kui Bao No. 2, Old Xue made repeated trips to Civilization City. Even if he couldnt take the child back home to raise permanently, he would at least take him for a few days and then send him back. He was truly devoted to this child.

Jiang Lan was moved by his persistence and agreed to let Kui Bao No. 2 shuttle between both sides. Old Xue was overjoyed as if he had found a treasure. He seemed to have become decades younger, filled with enthusiasm.

As Civilization City prospered more and more, the various departments were filled with talented individuals. Wen Qingling and Xiao Heng found themselves with some free time. Other than major decisions that required their input, the City Lord and the Chief General could handle most other matters.

Currently, there was peace and tranquility, and no major events were occurring. However, news from other countries indicated a desire for cooperation with China.

Regardless of what kind of cooperation it was, Wen Qingling had no interest in engaging with them.

His response was to let Feng Cheng take Tong abroad for a trip. With Tongs mischievous nature, Wen Qingling trusted them to cause some trouble and have fun to their hearts content.

While other countries had yet to evolve their own Kings, they could go wild.

No other country dared to set foot on Chinese soil anymore.

After an intimate encounter, Wen Qingling suddenly asked, Do you want a child?

Xiao Heng was startled, holding him in his arms and whispering, Do you want one?

Wen Qingling had been thinking about this question for several days. He had already made up his mind before asking, I want a child who looks like both of us.

Xiao Heng smiled, flipping him over and pressing him down. Alright, lets conceive one now.

Wen Qingling:

After a whole night of passionate entanglement, it was only on the following day that they truly began the conception of their child.

This time, both Wen Qingling and Xiao Heng were looking forward to it. Unlike before, where Kui Bao was an unexpected outcome, this time they came prepared. They didnt want to mix anyone elses genes into the equation, only using their own genetic material to cultivate their child.

Wen Qingling was highly attentive to this child. He went to the research institute and had researchers extract his hearts blood. The nurturing base blood used was all from Xiao Heng, including blood containing the zombie virus. They didnt allow their babys genes to be mixed with others. All the virus and blood needed for growth were extracted from Xiao Heng.

After three days of nurturing, they successfully raised an incredibly adorable baby. When the baby transformed into human form, its tentacles and oral disc fell off, and its eyes were not red but pure black. It had the appearance of a healthy human baby, albeit being only seven or eight months old, able to walk and understand human speech, just a bit on the small side.

This little bean, carrying the resemblance of Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen, was clearly their child.

Xiao Hen was overjoyed and couldnt let go of the baby. He personally took care of all the feeding tasks and kept the child by his side at all times. In just a few months, they nurtured the child to the size of a three-year-old.

It must be said that the Kui Bao evolved from the blood anemones were all exceptional in their growth, selecting excellent genes to inherit. This little one perfectly inherited all the outstanding genes of Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen, demonstrating incredible strength at such a young age.

After discussing with Xiao Hen, Wen Qingling decided to take the three children out to see the world.

When Wen Jing¹Kui Bao No.1 was younger, he had accompanied Wen Qingling on outings, and Xue Zhou²Kui Bao No. 2 had been shuttling between Civilization City and Lan City since his return from Central Giant City. Only the youngest, Xiao Yi, had been confined to Civilization City and had never breathed the air outside.

The two fathers decided to go on a self-driving tour with their children, starting from Civilization City and traveling all over China.

The modified RV drove slowly on the highway, and the three children were happily playing inside. When they encountered zombie beasts or fused zombie beasts, they would stop the car to collect beast crystals. It was not Wen Qingling or Xiao Hen who collected them but the three children themselves.

At mealtime, they would park the car on the side of the road and let the three children go hunting for mutant livestock, while Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen prepared other ingredients inside the car. Each family member had their designated role.

The three children managed to catch a mutated sheep and brought back some mutated mushrooms and wild fruits.

Wen Jing, who was already eight years old in size, dragged a mutated sheep, while Xue Zhou, slightly younger than Wen Jing, carried a handful of mutated mushrooms. Only little Xiao Yi, with his clothes wrapped around some wild fruits, followed behind his two older brothers, dropping the fruits along the way in his short-legged steps. Oblivious to this, he happily pounced into Wen Qinglings arms.

In a sweet and tender voice, he exclaimed, Daddy, I picked fruits!

Wen Qinglings gaze softened, and he crouched down to look at the little bean. How many did you pick?

Many, many, Xiao Yi cautiously released the hem of his clothes that he had been clutching, but it was empty inside, without a single fruit.

Xiao Yi looked confused, clearly not understanding where his fruits had gone.

Amused by his innocent and adorable expression, Wen Qingling chuckled. Where are the fruits?

Xiao Yi scratched his head and suddenly brightened his eyes. Father took them away!

Xiao Yi knew about his fathers ability. Anything that went missing was always his fathers doing.

Wen Qingling called out to Xiao Hen, who was fiddling with the barbecue grill. Did you steal Xiao Yis fruits?

Xiao Hen turned to look at him, smiling helplessly and indulgently. Does Xiao Yi think I have another black pot to bear?

Before setting off, Wen Qingling successfully reached the Tenth Stage, becoming a true King, and Xiao Hen advanced as well, becoming a true Sub-King.

In the world of kings, transcending the boundaries of zombies and humans, they were truly free.

At noon today, they were preparing to have a barbecue. They had already brought the seasonings.

Xiao Hen prepared the grill and ingredients and left it to the three children to handle. He sat beside Wen Qingling, holding him in his arms, and watched the three children earnestly grilling the meat.

Wen Qingling lazily leaned against Xiao Hen, feeling a bit drowsy under the sun.

He let out a sigh, Ill take a nap first. Wake me up when the food is ready.

Xiao Hen kissed him. Alright.

Authors Note:

After much consideration and revisions, I have decided to end the story here.

This is the third book, and there are still many shortcomings. Thank you to all the readers who have followed the story until now. I appreciate your continuous support.

It is you who have given me the motivation to strive. Thank you once again.

Announcement:

Starting in October, Ill be launching a new novel. Please check out the synopsis and consider pre-ordering!

Title: After Binding the Demon Hunting System, I Became Popular (Title subject to change)

For three years, Lin Jiu struggled in the entertainment industry with his group, which had been lukewarm at best. The group leader wanted to go solo without taking the blame, so he exposed Lin Jius sexual orientation and released photos of Lin Jiu entangling him, shifting all the blame onto Lin Jiu.

After facing widespread backlash online, Lin Jiu got into a car accident on his way home.

In another world, Lin Jiu spent five years catching crabs and awakened his sea monster bloodline. He returned after binding with the Demon Hunting System.

On Earth, only a year had passed, but the group had already disbanded, leaving Lin Jiu with a massive breach of contract penalty.

To repay his debts, Lin Jiu started selling seafood and opened a restaurant. Unintentionally, he became a sensation in the culinary world.

His small restaurant was always packed, with influential figures from various industries queuing up every day just to have a taste of his extraordinary dishes.

People who held grudges against him started to attack:

Hater 1: The menu is decided by the owner daily, no reservations or takeaways, dine-in only. Truly domineering. He deserves the title of someone who broke up a group.

Hater 2: A failure in the entertainment industry. I hope you fail just as miserably in the culinary world!

Hater 3: Fish dish costs 8888, fruit wine costs 6666. Whos dumb enough to pay for that?

Supporters of the small restaurant fought back:

Fan 1: I was lucky enough to eat there once, and ever since then, even the finest bluefin tuna tastes bland QAQ.

Fan 2: Since I tried the Little Blue Devils cuisine, my hormones have been balanced.

Fan 3: I swear, the Little Devil completely cured my acne!

Every night, Lin Jiu went hunting in the Demon Sea, relying on luck to catch whatever he could.

Lin Jiu whispered to himself, Every ingredient I get is obtained at the risk of my life. Is it expensive?

Lin Jius small restaurant had an exception for one person.

That person was his childhood dream, the lone star in his lonely nights.

Rebirth as an Interstellar Race

The Star Clan, surpassing all other races in the universe.

They possessed immense power, capable of controlling star energy that could destroy everything, and their regenerative abilities made them impervious to harm.

Researcher Chi Yang was obsessed with studying this race and finally made a breakthrough. However, an accident occurred during the promotion, leading to his arrest and eventual death in prison.

When he woke up again, he became the noblest Saint Son, Eil of the Star Clan.

The Star Temple was the Star Clans belief system, and the Saint Son was the beacon of their race.

Ever since he woke up, Chi Yang had been pampered beyond belief.

Chi Yang: My goal is to conquer the Star Sea.

Clan Members: Baby, the universe is in your hands.

Chi Yang:

Angry Chi Yang: I want to go to the Empire. If you dont let me, Ill go on a hunger strike!

His clan members trembled in fear and quickly transported him through the void.

Before parting, they earnestly admonished, Baby, have fun, well come pick you up after a nap.

The Star Clan took a thirty-thousand-year nap.

Chi Yang:

Finally returning to the Empire, everything he once knew had changed.

His once happy family was no more. His father had long been unfaithful, and there was a half-sibling born just two months after him.

His trusted assistant had become his fathers illegitimate child.

His Star Seed research became the illegitimate childs accomplishment.

His best friend married the illegitimate child and entrusted Chi Yangs mother and younger brother to their care, exiling them to a remote planet.

The only surprise was the person he considered his archenemy, who had silently been helping his mother and brother all along.
