TL: Hua
It was another boisterous night.
There was constant noise outside, and the roar of zombies was incessant, but the civilized base was peaceful.
The residents houses are brightly lit, and the families gather together to enjoy dinner, which is in stark contrast to the chaotic world outside.
Jiang Lan first warned Wen Qingling not to touch the queen anemones.
Wen Qingling:
He wanted to, but he didnt dare.
So Wen Qingling spent time in a different wayabsorbing the crystal nucleus.
One after another, until dawn, the accumulated crystal nuclei were all finished by him, but he had not yet reached the advanced level.
Wen Qingling started preparations early in the morning. He felt that he might be rather busy today.
From South City, Xiao Hen and Ji Rong went all the way to the east, and from a distance they saw the dense zombies surging forward like a tide. This isnt a zombie group at all, but a small-scale zombie tide!
They had no choice but to halt their journey. Facing the zombie tide, let alone the two of them, even if an army came over, they could be submerged in an instant.
All night, they just waited on the road. There was nothing they could do.
At that moment, Ji Rong asked, Do you think Wen Qingling can create a zombie tide?
What he really wanted to say was, could Wen Qingling stop the zombie tide?
Did he have the ability to stop it since he knew what was about to happen?
Xiao Hen understood what he wanted to say, and only said: He wont take action. I can tell that he has very little affection for humans.
Ji Rong: But he is very kind to the people in his base.
Xiao Hen: Then it has to be someone in his base.
They werent even allowed to stay overnight. If they want to become a member of the civilized base, its probably as hard as trying to obtain the blood anemone.
Later that night, the small-scale zombie tide destroyed a medium-sized base. After a night of fighting and fleeing, a small number of people escaped the siege of the zombie tide alive, but there are still many zombies chasing after them.
They fled all the way toward the direction of the Ling City Base. Zombies with faster speed were still hunting them.
Xu Shengfei was utterly exhausted. She originally thought that she was lucky that she managed to escape from the Ling City Base alive, met Wen Qingling, and was taken to the South City Base, where she had a place to live.
After that, Wen Qingling became her stepping stone to gaining a firm foothold in the South City base. Later, because of the sudden appearance of four people, she was kicked out of the South City base again. This was the luckiest thing, because the South City base was destroyed on that same night. She wanted to thank those four people for their help.
She couldnt go back to the Ling City base and could only continue to work in various small and medium-sized bases. She was a plant-type ability user, and there were many people who needed her, so she easily brought her parents to join a medium-sized base.
She thought she could settle down here, but she did not expect that the base would be attacked by zombies again, causing numerous deaths and injuries. She had to continue to flee with many others. Many people were either directly eaten by zombies, or were bitten and turned into zombies on the way to escape.
Xu Shengfei was panting, I cant run anymore, we have to find a car!
Not only was Xu Shengfei tired, but her parents were also very tired. Although they were ordinary people, they were well protected by Xu Shengfei.
Father Xu ran while searching. With a big knife in his hand, he kept cutting down zombies.
Those who could survive until now had to get their hands dirty.
Theres a car over there! Ill drive it over! Father Xu ran away quickly.
Two zombies darted over; one flew in the air, while the other grabbed Father Xus leg, causing him to fall to the ground.
Dad! Xu Shengfei quickly wrapped the vines around the zombie that rushed up and ran over to help. Mother Xu was always by her daughters side.
After a night of slaughter, Xu Shengfei had little power left and could barely use it.
Father Xu turned around, chopped off the head of the zombie, and ran to the car, Im fine! Ill drive the car over!
Several zombies rushed up at the same time. Xu Shengfei could no longer use her abilities. She could barely lift the knife in her hand. She couldnt kill it and was forced to retreat again and again until she bumped into someone. When she looked back, it turned out to be an acquaintance!
Xu Shengfei didnt even think about it. She grabbed that person and pushed her towards the few zombies that pounced on her.
Qiao Xin! Her companions rushed to her rescue in a panic.
Run, run, run! Xu Shengfei urged her mother repeatedly.
Qiao Xin gave out a shrill cry. Her heart was ruthless and determined as she threw the long whip in her hand at Xu Shengfei, wrapped her neck and dragged her back. The zombies rushed up immediately.
Mother Xu screamed, waving the knife in her hand indiscriminately, slashing the zombies.
You sl*tty shameless b*tch! Ill drag you to hell with me! Qiao Xin chopped off the head of the zombie that bit her, and was pulled out of the zombie pack by her companions.
Father Xu had already got the car and drove over a few zombies, shouting, Get in the car, get in the car, get in the car!!!
Mother Xu dragged Xu Shengfei into the car. Qiao Xin and her companions wanted to chase and kill her, but the car had already driven away.
Xu Shengfei looked at the black blood flowing from her arms and shoulders and cried, Mom, Dad, Im infected, Im going to die
Mother Xu had already burst into tears, Dont be afraid, Feifei, you wont die.Husband, turn around and go to South City. Theres a clinic that can save our Feifei. Hurry up, hurry up, my daughter
Xu Shengfei cried, No one can save me, Im infected!
You can be saved. You can be saved. Theres a rumor that a doctor in South City can treat the infected. Lets go and find them. They can definitely save you! Mother Xu cried and hugged her daughter tightly.
As they made their way south, they saw many vehicles rushing towards South City, supposedly with the same purpose as them. This made Xu Shengfei hopeful.
Is there really someone who can treat the infected?
Not long after they left, Qiao Xin and the others also found a car and drove toward South City.
That was the only hope for the infected to survive, and even if there was only a slight chance, they had to give it a try.
Wen Qingling guessed correctly. Not long after dawn, there were survivors rushing to South City.
They were all survivors who escaped in time, but many people were injured, either bitten or scratched. These people were all infected. At this time, it was thanks to the news from the Ling City basethere is a clinic in South City that can treat infected people.
Many people have heard of this rumor. They didnt believe it before, but now that they got bitten, they had no choice but to have faith. In order to survive, they had to come to South City to try their luck.
The main road into South City has been opened with no zombies blocking it, seemingly welcoming the visitors. All the zombies are wandering outside the main road.
The scene was so bizarre that the survivors who found their way over were a little scared, but they had to go inside in order to stay alive.
It wasnt until they saw the ancient city wall that they finally believed that there might be a living person in South City who ran a clinic here and only treated the infected.
The survivors rushed over excitedly.
The south-facing Barbican gate has been opened, but the inner city gate is closed.
There are tall buildings in the barbicans1Im guessing there is more than one barbican since the author specifically wrote: south-facing barbican., which Wen Qingling deliberately enclosed. The building in the south-facing barbican has been cleaned up by civilized zombies. It is now clean and spacious.
Jiang Lan, Wen Zheng, Feng Bin, and Ning Nings father came to help. Jiang Lan was in charge of the consultation fee, and the other four each had a blood anemone in their hands.
They all know how important the blood anemone is.
Ning Nings father, Wen Bo, is a powerful zombie. His son, Ning Ning, is 10 years old. He is standing at the door with Tong Tong. They are responsible for maintaining order.
A large wooden sign stood at the gate of the barbican, with the letters: No vehicles are allowed to enter.
There was limited space in the barbican, so if everyone drove their cars in, where would there be room for the patients to line up?
The survivors who came had to get out of the car, walk into the barbican, and follow the road signs to the front of a building.
The first floor is very spacious, with hospital beds neatly placed inside. They were brought back from Ling City Hospital by the civilized zombies to make everything appeared more professional.
Wen Qingling and the others were wearing white lab coats, and even Ning Ning and Tong Tong were wearing mini versions of white lab coats, looking particularly solemn.
The survivors were a little stunned when they saw this scene. Those with quick reactions had already rushed in.
Doctor! Doctor, please save me. I was bitten by a zombie! A man wailed and rushed inside, and was pushed out by Wen Qingling, who suddenly appeared.
Wen Qingling stood at the door, Im only going to say this once. Line up, go in one by one, pay the fee first, then get treatment. Each person will be charged 100 ordinary zombie crystal nuclei per treatment.
Someone said anxiously, I dont have that many crystal nuclei on me right now. Can I put it on the tab first and pay it back later?
Wen Qingling glanced at the man and walked over, Hand.
The man hurriedly stretched out his hand. Wen Qingling pinched his pulse with two fingers and then said, Your heart tells me that you wont pay it back.
The mans face turned pale, Youre talking nonsense! If I say Ill pay it back, Ill pay it back!
Wen Qingling stared into his eyes, Youre lying.
The mans face turned ruthless. His right hand suddenly turned into a blade and was placed on Wen Qinglings neck as he shouted, Treat me first, or Ill kill him immediately!
The few people in white coats moved and all looked at him.
The man said anxiously, Do you hear me?! Treat me!
Wen Qingling: You dont need treatment; you need zombies to brainwash you.
Wen Qingling held that hand and broke it with a click. The man screamed.
Wen Qingling dragged the man step by step up the barbican stairs. He stood on the 10-meter-high wall and threw the man down with one hand.
The crowd of zombies below the city went crazy and frantically scrambled for food. The mans scream made everyone in the barbican absolutely horrified.
As soon as Xiao Hen and Ji Rong got out of the car, they saw this sceneWen Qingling threw a person into the zombie pile and fed the zombies.
Ji Rong hissed and took a deep breath, This is the first time Ive seen him kill someone.
Xiao Hen raised his eyes; Wen Qingling lowered his eyes, and the two looked at each other across the space. Wen Qinglings eyes were calm without any waves.
He was indifferent to murder.
Wen Qingling walked down the stairs and entered the building again. At this time, no one dared to challenge him anymore.
Xiao Hen and Ji Rong walked in, and when they saw the people lining up inside, they already understood.
Kill the chickens to warn the monkeys2To make an example out of someone in order to threaten others..
Xiao Hen wanted to go in, but was stopped by Ning Ning and Tong Tong.
Go to line up, Tong Tongs immature voice said.
Xiao Hen looked at Wen Qingling.
Wen Qingling: Let them in.
Dont you just want to see the blood anemone treatment? Ill let you see.
Xiao Hen and Ji Rong walked in and followed Wen Qingling.
The baby blood anemone in Wen Qinglings hands already had black lines on its body. It had eaten more zombie poison than the blood anemone in Wen Zhengs and the others hands.
