I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

TL: Moonlit

Everyone in the command center had a solemn expression.

Someone raised a question, “If Wen Qingling is truly not human, then what about the antidote and vaccine for the zombie virus…”

Everyone’s minds were about to explode!

If Wen Qingling was not human but held the antidote and vaccine for the zombie virus, it meant that humanity’s fate and future were being controlled by the zombies. Was there any hope left for them?

Someone directly asked, “Xiao Jiang, your son has the closest relationship with Wen Qingling. Does he know if Wen Qingling is human or not? Do you really have no idea?”

Thinking about how Xiao Hen had recently brought several large crates of energy crystals to Civilization City, promising to return the same day but hadn’t shown up for several days…

Some of the high-ranking officials with quick reactions had already figured out a possibility.

They exclaimed in horror, “Previously, the flow of zombies was directed towards Yunjing City. It was after Xiao Hen sent the crates of energy crystals to Civilization City that the zombies suddenly started diverting, resulting in the situation of Yunjing City and Ling City facing off!”

“Xiao Jiang! Did your Third District plan this in advance?!” someone questioned on the spot.

Old Xue spoke with a solemn voice, “The crystal nuclei and beast crystals were sent out with everyone’s consent.”

“But your Third District was the first to propose it!”

If Wen Qingling truly was a zombie and had evolved with the help of the energy crystals they sent, then the Third District was indeed guilty.

Just when tension filled the air, a light laugh broke the deadlock, and everyone looked over to see Lei Yuxiao laughing incessantly.

In such a serious situation, Lei Yuxiao had no business speaking. Someone shouted, “What are you laughing at?!”

Lei Yuxiao looked up at the middle-aged man who shouted the loudest. “General Gao, if Wen Qingling is truly a zombie, what do you plan to do?”

General Gao was a high-ranking official from the former Fourth District. After Hua Jiang stepped down, he was chosen to temporarily manage the affairs of the Fourth District. When they wanted to empty the Fourth District’s savings, he had found various excuses to refuse. But his position was still insignificant compared to Xiao Jiang, Mo Jiang, Lei Jiang, and Xia Jiang. His opposition was ineffective, and the Fourth District was still emptied.

Now that he had a chance, wouldn’t he hold onto it tightly?

General Gao slammed the table and spoke with righteous words, “Humans will never join forces with zombies!”

Lei Yuxiao showed interest. “What do you plan to do?”

General Gao glanced at Xiao Jiang and said, “He has a good relationship with Xiao Hen, right? Let Xiao Hen lure him to Central Mega-City and control him, forcing him to hand over the methods for making the antidote and vaccine.”

“The survival of humanity must never be held in the hands of zombies!”

The foreign representatives who were eavesdropping all had flickering expressions. They finally knew who held the methods for the antidote and vaccine.

Lei Yuxiao sneered, “General Gao, don’t forget that Wen Qingling truly helped Central Mega-City survive the disaster caused by the corpse monsters. Moreover, if it wasn’t for Wen Qingling, both Mo Chengshuang and I would be dead. We remember this favor.”

Lei Yuxiao’s smile disappeared, and he stared at General Gao with a heavy gaze. “If he is truly a zombie, his principles of conduct are more humane than some humans.”

Lei Yuxiao coldly glanced at the foreign delegation. Cedrick and his companions had become unwelcome guests. When Central Mega-City questioned them about this matter, the foreign representatives claimed not to know these individuals. Their actions should not involve international relations. If they truly did something, it would be considered their personal actions and wouldn’t escalate into a national conflict.

“The skill of shifting blame is quite proficient. It seems like they’ve done this kind of thing many times before,” Lei Yuxiao said, his words almost pointing at General Gao’s nose as he spoke. General Gao was as useless as a zombie in comparison.

“A zombie infiltrated the human base. Who knows what his purpose is? Maybe he solved the corpse monster disaster and conveniently saved you all. These are all part of his plan. Now Central Mega-City has obediently sent several large crates of energy crystals over,” Lei Yuxiao said.

Mo Chengshuang remained expressionless. “If he had that kind of foresight, then why would he keep General Gao here to obstruct his plan? Be careful, General Gao.”

General Gao slammed the table in anger. “You have no say in this!”

Xia Jiang said indifferently, “Do you think zombies can use special abilities?”

The entire Central Mega-City witnessed Wen Qingling’s special abilities.

Someone spoke up, “If he can completely transform into a human appearance, it’s not surprising for him to retain his special abilities. Otherwise, how did he cause the plane to crash in Yunjing City?”

Xiao Jiang stopped them from arguing further and said in a deep voice, “I will provide an explanation to everyone. I will personally go to Civilization City and clarify this matter.”

General Gao sneered, “And if Xiao Jiang doesn’t return, just like Xiao Hen, what will we do then?”

Xiao Jiang looked at the others and saw that they also agreed with General Gao’s statement. His temples throbbed with anger. “In that case, I’ll send Old Xue over. I’ll stay in Central Mega-City as a hostage. That way, everyone can rest assured, right?”

Sending Old Xue alone wouldn’t be acceptable, so they wanted to explore the truth of Civilization City. They also sent a few people to accompany Old Xue, with very impure motives.

If they were all Chinese, it would be tolerable, but foreign representatives also wanted to send people along. They claimed that the zombie crisis had broad implications and wasn’t just China’s problem. It should be dealt with collectively.

Since Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen entered the Commander-in-Chief’s Mansion, they hadn’t come out, so they had to wait. No one dared to disturb them.

The aura of kingship emanating from these two was too strong. Unless they suppressed their aura, no one dared to approach them.

Ji Rong, He Lin, and Shi Chong had been waiting at the Commander-in-Chief’s Mansion for a while. They came to check every day and were amazed by Xiao Hen’s endurance. Several days had passed, and he still hadn’t left. Wasn’t he afraid of exhausting himself?

Xiao Hen suddenly appeared and startled the three. “What’s the matter?”

Ji Rong was almost brought to his knees by Xiao Hen’s king’s aura. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Boss, how did you suddenly become so successful? If we drink your blood again, can we undergo a second evolution?”

He Lin grabbed Ji Rong, who was acting recklessly. “Don’t be insolent. This person is no longer just our boss. He is also the ‘Sub-King’.”

Ji Rong: “???”

So what if he’s a ‘Sub-King’? Does that mean he’s no longer their boss? Ji Rong didn’t believe Xiao Hen had changed like that.

But when he met Xiao Hen’s cold gaze, he shivered all over. It seemed that Xiao Hen was indeed different from before.

Ji Rong looked at He Lin, who shook his head, signaling him not to say anything for now.

Xiao Hen looked at them and deliberately played dumb. “What’s the matter?”

He Lin said, “For the past few days, reconnaissance planes have been flying over us. It seems that Central Mega-City is investigating the situation in Civilization City.”

Wen Qingling lazily walked out, and Xiao Hen’s eyes immediately stuck to him. But he addressed He Lin and the others, “I understand.”

The three of them exchanged glances, never having seen Xiao Hen like this before. He seemed very different.

Wen Qingling noticed their confusion. “He is now a pure zombie, not a hybrid. You’ll gradually get used to it.”

The three were shocked!

“A pure-blood zombie? Doesn’t that mean he no longer has a trace of human blood? Does he still have human emotions?” Wen Qingling’s hand rested on Xiao Hen’s shoulder. “If we don’t remove his human bloodline and the Level 8 evolved zombie virus, he won’t be able to become stronger. If he doesn’t become stronger, there’s a possibility he could die. As long as I don’t die, he won’t die either.”

The three of them were shocked!

They knew how powerful Wen Qingling was. With just a drop of blood, he could be revived. And now that Xiao Hen was bound to Wen Qingling, as long as Wen Qingling didn’t die, Xiao Hen wouldn’t die either. It was equivalent to having the same immortality as Wen Qingling.

“We have guests. They are your acquaintances. Let’s go and meet them together,” Wen Qingling said, leading the way.

Xiao Hen walked alongside him, and Ji Rong, He Lin, and Shi Chong had complex expressions as they followed behind them.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Hen grabbed Wen Qingling’s shoulder and pulled him into his embrace, then glanced back at Ji Rong and the others.

Ji Rong: “…”

He Lin: “…”

Shi Chong: “…”

What does this mean? What did they do wrong? Wasn’t it enough for them to obediently eat dog food?

The three were still bewildered when suddenly the scene before them distorted, and they were pulled by a powerful force. Their bodies almost separated, leaving their heads behind. When their vision cleared again, they found themselves standing outside the city.

The three stood in a daze for a few seconds before turning around and vomiting.

Damn, this was even more challenging than extreme sports. Their hearts were about to stop.

Ji Rong anxiously checked if his arms and legs were intact, if any parts had moved over, and if some remained behind. It was too terrifying!

Since when could Old Xiao teleport people?!

And he did it with four people at once!

The three almost vomited their bile. Looking at Wen Qingling, who had also teleported with them, he seemed completely fine, without any aftereffects.

People compare themselves to dead people…

No, definitely Xiao Hen’s fault. Didn’t they see him hugging Wen Qingling while they were dragged along?!

Several helicopters flew over their heads, intending to land directly in the open space inside the city. Wen Qingling narrowed his eyes, and Xiao Hen already knew what he wanted to do.

Activating the power of space, the helicopters prepared to land, but instead of landing inside the city as intended, they inexplicably landed outside the city.

Everyone on the helicopters was a bit confused. They were supposed to be inside the high walls, but when they landed, they realized they were outside the walls.

Everyone: “…”

Strange!

Too strange!

Only Xiao Hen knew that it wasn’t really strange but rather a spatial ability called “Spatial Displacement.”

They wanted to land the helicopters inside the city, but Wen Qingling didn’t like it, so Xiao Hen could only swap the space outside the city with the space inside the city, bringing them out.

Not everyone had the privilege to land inside the city. Xiao Hen could land inside because he was originally from Civilization City, so he had the privilege. But who were these people? How could they directly rush into the city without any courtesy?

A group of people disembarked from the plane, representing various ethnicities. Aside from the few individuals being protected, the rest were armed and looked hostile.

Wen Qingling’s mouth curved up, finding it interesting.

Xiao Hen remained expressionless, his gaze icy and devoid of any emotion.

Ji Rong, He Lin, and Shi Chong were dumbfounded. The person leading the group, the one walking at the front, was none other than their familiar Old Xue.

Why did he suddenly bring so many people here?

Regardless of the crises outside, it seemed that it couldn’t affect the territory of Civilization City. The trading market at the south gate was still bustling. The sudden appearance of so many helicopters piqued the curiosity of many onlookers.

Old Xue walked directly in front of Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen. His face didn’t look good, not because of Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen, but because of the people who came with him, who were supposed to protect but seemed more like surveillance.
