I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

Wen Qingling appeared on the roof of a building, and Xiao Hen followed closely behind. After looking at the situation below, Xiao Hen immediately disappeared from the roof and appeared at a window on the second floor. He held a weapon and fired at the zombie horde below.

There were four people below, surrounded and bitten by the zombie horde. They were covered in blood but not dead yet, screaming and calling for help. If Wen Qingling wasn’t here, Xiao Hen might not have saved them, and even if he did, it would have been pointless. He would just give them a quick death.

But now things were different. Wen Qingling was here, and as long as the people were still breathing, regardless of the zombie virus or injuries, he could handle it.

The sound of the fired weapon inevitably attracted the zombie horde, and they all rushed toward the second-floor window where Xiao Hen was.

A group of zombies stood below the window, constantly jumping up to try to reach Xiao Hen. The zombie horde was crowded together like a stack of statues, with one stepping on the other to climb up. Soon, a zombie clung onto the windowsill, and the ones behind it stepped on it to rush to the second floor. Xiao Hen had to put away the weapon and disappear from the second-floor window.

He appeared on the street with a long knife in his hand, chopping off the heads of the zombies one by one. The four survivors covered in blood crawled over and kept shouting, “Save me, save me!”

He Lin finally arrived, dragging a survivor towards a shop on the side of the street. He fired at the wandering zombies in the shop and threw the survivor inside before going back to drag the others. Xiao Hen dragged the last survivor inside.

He Lin immediately lowered the rolling curtain and blocked the zombie horde outside. The zombies banged on the rolling curtain madly, and the scrolls embedded in the wall were pulled out a bit every time they hit it. In no time, the rolling curtain was sure to be scrapped.

The window glass shattered, and even the burglar bars were twisted by the zombies. One zombie after another crazily squeezed inside. He Lin fired his weapon and killed them one by one. There would always be new zombies to fill in the gaps. The rolling curtain was on the verge of collapsing, and more zombies rushed toward this side, all attracted by the sound of the weapon.

Xiao Hen disappeared from inside the shop and reappeared on the roof. The zombies surged toward the shop from all sides.

Xiao Hen said: “Not earning crystal nuclei? There are four people below, seriously injured and infected. You can earn 200 ordinary crystal nuclei from each of them.”

Wen Qingling looked at him and asked, “Do they have crystal nuclei?”

Xiao Hen replied, “Certainly they do. Even if they don’t have enough, they can pay them back later.”

As the zombie horde rushed towards them, Xiao Hen became a bit anxious.

Wen Qingling gave him a casual glance, jumped into the zombie horde, and easily made his way to the storefront entrance. He looked at the shaky storefront door and reached out his hand. But before he could touch the door, a small, slim third-level evolved creature suddenly jumped out from the zombie horde and attacked him with its sharp claws. Xiao Hen’s heart tightened.

Wen Qingling quickly changed the direction of his hand, grabbed the creature’s head, and slammed it along with the storefront door into the store, causing screams to be heard from inside.

He Lin immediately aimed his weapon and saw that the person standing at the door was Wen Qingling.

Wen Qingling walked in step by step with a pale face, and the third-level evolved creature that had fallen to the ground rolled a few times. It was just about to jump up when Wen Qingling was already in front of it. With a step, he stomped on its head, and with a “crack,” the entire head was smashed.

The four survivors and He Lin were all startled.

A small vine curled around a crystal nucleus and handed it to Wen Qingling. Wen Qingling was very disgusted and took out a handkerchief from his backpack to carefully wipe the crystal nucleus. He then looked at his shoes with worry.

When Xiao Hen appeared, he saw Wen Qingling staring at his black, red, and white stained shoes in a daze, and the third-level evolved creature whose head had already been smashed.

Xiao Hen looked around the store and brought a cloth mop to Wen Qingling’s side. “Here, clean your shoes.”

“Thank you.” Wen Qingling wrinkled his brows and earnestly cleaned his shoes.

Looking at Wen Qingling’s appearance, Xiao Hen suddenly felt amused, “Why did you think of using your foot?”

Wen Qingling glanced at him, “Not use foot, use fist?”

Wouldn’t that be even more disgusting?

Xiao Hen: “Don’t you have any weapons?”

Wen Qingling clicked his tongue, “It’s been a long time since I used one, I forgot to bring my knife.”

Four people: “…”

He Lin: “…”

You have really worked hard to survive until now.

Wen Qingling stared at his shoes, making sure they were clean before giving up.

The four people looked at the crowded zombie horde outside the door, all trembling.

One person suddenly burst into tears, “I told you this was a suicidal job, but you still wanted the crystal nuclei. Now, we are all going to turn into zombies!”

Xiao Hen looked at He Lin.

He Lin walked over and whispered, “Yin Cheng offered crystal nuclei to send someone to investigate the situation in Rong City. They accepted the crystal nuclei.”

Xiao Hen understood.

Wen Qingling finally looked at them when he heard the crystal nuclei. The four of them will turn into zombies. Their bodies were bitten and the bloody flesh was seen. The green and black zombie virus was spreading rapidly.

Wen Qingling asked, “Do you want to live?”

One man gritted his teeth and said, “Who doesn’t want to live? We have struggled through the end of the world until now, just to stay alive!”

Another man wiped away tears and said, “We’re finished, we can’t survive. My wife is still waiting for me at the base, what will happen to her if I die? How can a woman survive in the end times?”

The man who was crying suddenly started swearing, since he was going to die anyway, he wasn’t afraid anymore. “That son of a bitch colonel, he deliberately sent us out to die! If we didn’t know it was a dangerous mission, he wouldn’t have offered such a high price for the crystal nuclei!”

Wen Qingling: “……”

Wen Qingling: “Give me 100 common crystal nuclei to cure the virus and another 100 to treat injuries. You have many wounds, and the zombie virus spreads quickly. If you don’t want to become a zombie, you’d better make a decision quickly. Do you want to live or become one with the zombies?”

The four men yelled together, “Of course, we want to live!”

Wen Qingling: “200 common crystal nuclei for each person, and I’ll let you live.”

The four men: “……”

Xiao Hen said, “He can cure the zombie virus on your body and help treat your injuries. It will cost 200 common crystal nuclei. If you have crystal nuclei, it’s best to take them out quickly.”

The four men were dumbfounded. In addition to hearing about the sky-high price of 200 common crystal nuclei, they also heard that their zombie virus could be cured. What was the difference between this and being scammed by a gang of swindlers?

The man who was crying looked at their clothes and immediately said, “You are with that son of a bitch colonel, I don’t believe you!”

Wen Qingling turned around and said, “Let’s go, zombies suit their temperament. Don’t force it.”

Xiao Hen: “……”

He Lin: “……”

“Wait a minute!” The man who had been silent all this time finally spoke up, “I want treatment first, and then I’ll pay the medical fee.”

Wen Qingling looked at him and said, “Okay.”

It wasn’t his first time doing this kind of business, so he wasn’t afraid of people not paying their bills.

The man said, “First, get rid of the zombie virus in my body.”

No one could cure the zombie virus. If he could solve the zombie virus, then the injuries were nothing.

Wen Qingling: “Okay.”

He put down his backpack and took out a blood anemone, which was only the size of an adult’s fist, and threw it to the man.

The man reached out and caught the blood anemone, not understanding what was happening. Then, the tendrils surrounding the blood anemone’s mouth suddenly extended and turned into sharp thorns, piercing into the man’s neck wound.

The man cried out in pain and was about to throw the blood anemone away, but Wen Qingling said, “Don’t move, it’s detoxifying you.”

The man could only stay still, holding the soft blood anemone and listening to it drink his blood with a gurgling sound. This feeling was really eerie.

He had only heard about it from Ji Rong before, and this was the first time he had seen the detoxification process with his own eyes. He was also frightened by it.

The other three people’s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets as they watched their companion’s corpse poison rapidly decrease, eventually returning to their original skin color with no trace of blue-black remaining. The round, red little anemone then pulled out its tendrils, and the whole sphere grew by a circle compared to before.

Wen Qingling took back the blood anemone and said, “The crystal nuclei.”

The man was shocked and checked his body regardless of his image, but there was no trace of the zombie virus except for the wound.

Had the zombie virus in his body really been detoxified?!

The man absentmindedly took out all the crystal nuclei on his body, which amounted to exactly 100.

Wen Qingling asked, “Do you need healing?”

The man shook his head, “I don’t have that many crystal nuclei.”

Wen Qingling didn’t insist either.

The other three people saw the detoxification process with their own eyes and clamored for detoxification as well, taking out identical cloth bags from their bodies, each containing 100 ordinary crystal nuclei.

These should be the rewards that Yin Cheng gave them for exploring, which were indeed very generous.

Wen Qingling had the blood anemone treat them one by one, and after the four were treated, the fist-sized blood anemone had grown to the size of a football, showing how considerable amount the zombie virus in their body was.

Wen Qingling threw the blood anemone and the four cloth bags into his backpack and put it back on.

The four had their zombie virus detoxified, and although their injuries were severe, they wouldn’t die as long as they could leave Rong City alive, find someone to bandage or treat them and avoid infection.

The four people finally realized that the zombies outside the door were just standing there, why didn’t they rush in?

Wen Qingling glanced at the door, and the pressure from the advanced zombies made them scatter and ultimately leave unwillingly.

When Ji Rong and Shi Chong arrived wheezing, what they saw was a clean street with only lying zombies but no standing ones, which looked very refreshing. Ji Rong knew he had found the right place, as any place where Wen Qingling was present would be so clean.

Sure enough, they quickly found him in a shop. Just as Ji Rong and Shi Chong had arrived not long ago, Yin Cheng arrived with his team as well. They were all stunned by the clean street, and only then did they proceed cautiously until they found the trail of Xiao Hen and his group.

Yin Cheng walked in and casually glanced at the four people on the ground. Each of them had wounds, bleeding, and clearly unable to survive.

With a single look, Yin Cheng signaled his only female team member, Tao Shuang, to come over and look at the wounds of the four people. She then walked back with a strange expression and said, “The blood is red.”

In other words, they were not infected. Yin Cheng confirmed that the handsome young man with a backpack on his back was indeed Wen Qingling, the doctor who could treat the infected, as rumored throughout the Ling City base. Although he didn’t believe it at first, the fact was now right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

According to the people at the Ling City base, Dr. Wen should use a small humanoid monster to treat people. So where was the little monster?

Yin Cheng’s gaze fell on Wen Qingling’s bulging backpack, and he smiled and took the initiative to reach out his hand and said, “You must be Dr. Wen, who is so famous. I have long heard of your name.”

Wen Qingling didn’t look at the outstretched hand but stared into Yin Cheng’s eyes, “Are you interested in my backpack? Unfortunately, the humanoid monster you want to see is not with me.”

Yin Cheng’s expression changed, he never expected that his thoughts were read by the other party!

Seeing Yin Chengrui feeling embarrassed, Ji Rong almost burst out laughing.
