Xiao Hen looked at Fang Shenlong and Miao Bo. From their silence, he could see their determination to enforce this plan. No matter how much he persuaded them, it would be useless and would incur resentment and hostility instead.
Xiao Hen looked at them one by one. There were too many self-righteous, arrogant, and domineering people. He tried hard to hold Wen Qingling down and prevent him from completely standing on the opposite side of mankind, but there were always people who pushed him that way.
A rough man with a beard asked, “Brother Luo, do you know this person?”
Luo Fengjue introduced to everyone, “This is my brother, Wen Qingling. He has no ill intentions. Everyone, don’t get so fired up.”
Luo Fengjue also introduced other people to Wen Qingling, saying, “Qingling, this is Captain Meng Hua. I was seriously injured while escaping from South City. Fortunately, I met Captain Meng, otherwise I might be dead by now.”
Ji Rong: “???”
Brother, you’re being grateful toward the wrong person.
It was your brother’s effort that allowed you to escape from the pile of zombies in the South City.
Lu Tianjin did not know until his death that Luo Fengjue, who he thought had died in South City, had long left South City alive and had joined the Ling City Base.
Wen Qingling could save the four unrelated people, so how could he just sit back and watch his brother die? It was impossible for Luo Fengjue to die in South City.
Meng Hua looked at Wen Qingling but asked Luo Fengjue, “Does he have an ability?”
Luo Fengjue proudly said: “He had wood-type ability. Back then, the entire South City base had to rely on him for the rations. He was amazing.”
Meng Hua laughed and stood up from his seat, “That’s great. We are in need of strong people. With Brother Wen joining us, our odds of winning will be a little better.”
Xiao Hen silently paid attention to the development of the situation. He took in the crowd’s reaction.
Where there are people, there are disputes. With one sentence, Meng Hua put Wen Qingling into his camp. This made Miao Bo, who was the first to persuade him but was rejected, look ugly. Miao Bo and Fang Shenlong had always been of one mind.
The blood corpse had not yet come to attack, but they had already begun the infighting for power.
Others were unaware of Wen Qingling’s strength, but Chang Boheng, Wen Chu, and He Yi knew very well that this was a powerful man who could treat the infected and could also establish a base in the zombie-ridden South City. Chang Boheng had always felt that he seemed to be able to control the zombies in South City, but the idea was so bizarre that he couldn’t even convince himself, let alone say it to the public.
Although Chang Boheng felt that Wen Qingling would not join the Ling City Base and would not be drawn by any force, he still could not take it lightly. After all, there was a relationship between Luo Fengjue and Wen Qingling. He was afraid that Wen Qingling would be successfully pulled in by Meng Hua.
Chang Boheng stood up and said with a smile, “Doctor Wen, if you are interested in joining our base, that’s a great thing.”
Chang Boheng introduced him to everyone, “This Doctor Wen is the doctor at South City Clinic. He saved Wen Chu’s life. He is the benefactor of Wen Chu and I.”
Chang Boheng directly exposed the existence of South City Clinic, so that everyone could clearly realize the true value of Wen Qingling.
Sure enough, once Chang Boheng’s words were out, the expressions of everyone in the room changed.
They had all heard about a clinic in South City that could treat the infected. It was originally just a rumor. Later, many people described it in vivid details, as if it were true, and even those who have been treated have come forward to prove its authenticity.
Some crafty people went to South City to check it out. But before entering the city, they were scared back by the crowd of zombies on the periphery. They simply didn’t believe that there was such a clinic inside.
Recently, they heard that there was also a person in the base who could treat the infected. However, it was confirmed by the base leader just now that the guy was a fake. He created extremely dangerous zombies in the base. Fang Zhen was now a wanted person.
Unexpectedly, even Captain Chang said that, and the doctor himself was at the scene. Are all the rumors true?
At this moment, someone shouted, “Captain Chang, you can’t lie to others! There are zombies everywhere in South City. Where can this clinic exist?! To tell you the truth, I’ve been there myself. There’s nothing but zombies!”
“I keep hearing about the South City Clinic. Is it the real deal?”
“It’s f*cking bullshit. How the hell can a person open a clinic in the middle of a zombie swarm?!”
After this sound fell, everyone quieted down and looked at Wen Qingling, as if to determine whether he was a human or a zombie.
Chang Boheng, Wen Chu, and He Yi all looked at Wen Qingling in disbelief, as if they had been reminded.
They saw it with their own eyes. This man! can! control! zombies in South City!!!!Could it really be…
Someone directly asked Luo Fengjue, “This brother of yours, is he a human being or not?”
Luo Fengjue said angrily, “What the hell! My brother is standing here in perfectly good condition. What is he if not a human being?”
Fang Shenlong said calmly, “Dr. Wen really opened a clinic in South City?”
Wen Qingling: “Indeed, I am running a clinic.”
When the atmosphere was getting weird, Miao Bo laughed and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize it was Dr. Wen. Please let us entertain you, Dr. Wen?”
Miao Bo didn’t believe he was a zombie at all. Even if he couldn’t persuade such a powerful figure to join their cause, he couldn’t offend him.
Since the apocalypse, who can treat the infected? Only the person in front of them can.
Wen Qingling indifferently said, “No need.”
Meng Hua didn’t expect that things would develop to this point. He gave Luo Fengjue a meaningful look.
Luo Fengjue and Wen Qingling had known each other for two years. Yet he didn’t know that he had such skills!
Luo Fengjue: “Is this true?”
Wen Qingling: “Yes.”
Luo Fengjue: “…”
After the affirmation, everyone couldn’t sit still.
Those words previously were all nonsense. How can an obviously living person be a zombie? This is definitely a scheme!
The people who just doubted whether Wen Qingling was a zombie were scrambling to get closer.
In this era, no one could guarantee that they wouldn’t be infected by the zombie virus. The person in front of them is the one who can save their lives in the future, so they must establish a relationship with him.
The people who slapped the table in anger before, and those who questioned him as a zombie, were all smiles at this moment, not to mention how kind and friendly their words were.
Wen Qingling ignored them all. No matter how nicely they smiled or talked, it was impossible not to accept the consultant fee if they came to seek treatment.
Wen Qingling: “Are you sure you want to go?”
Luo Fengjue: “Yes, we have to give it a try. We can’t just sit around and wait for death.”
Wen Qingling: “You will die.”
Luo Fengjue: “…”
Luo Fengjue was helpless, “Can’t you wish me luck or something? We just met, and you said I would die. Are you still my brother?”
Wen Qingling: “I’m telling the truth.”
Luo Fengjue joked with him: “Since you can treat the infected, then my life will be saved by you.”
Wen Qingling: “I can save the infected but not the deceased.”
Luo Fengjue clicked his tongue, “When did your mouth become so poisonous? Can you say something nice?”
Wen Qingling: “Good advice jars the ear.”
“Don’t worry, Dr. Wen,” Fang Shenlong said, “we’ve done enough preparations. This time, Miao Bo and I will personally lead the team. Miao Bo’s psychic power can help us avoid danger. We have so many people with abilities. I don’t believe that we can’t kill one blood corpse.”
Wen Qingling looked at Miao Bo.
Miao Bo straightened his back. His dignity as a psychic can’t be lost.
Wen Qingling: “You find an announcer to help you avoid danger. Are you sure you’re not sending yourself to death?”Miao Bo: “….”
Wen Qingling carried his backpack and turned to leave, “Since you have decided to die, I won’t stop you.”
Luo Fengjue chased after him, “Where are you staying if you’re not a residence of Ling City Base?”
Wen Qingling: “South City.”
Luo Fengjue was surprised, “Can humans really live in the South City?”
Wen Qingling: “Yes.”
Luo Fengjue was doubtful: “Aren’t there just zombies there?”
Wen Qingling thought for a while and said, “There are also living people. It’s very safe there, safer than your base.”
Everyone who heard this: “…..”
Are they crazy, or are there problems with their ears?
He Yi winded down.
If the other party could build a base in South City, which was full of zombies, how could he not have a way to deal with the zombies?
He Yi had already told Chang Boheng and Wen Chu about the construction of the base in South City.
They also reacted the same and were amused by their own conjecture. Which zombie is like Dr. Wen, who saves people instead of eating them? If that’s the case, please give them more zombies like this.
Xiao Hen and Ji Rong sent Wen Qingling back to South City.
When leaving, Xiao Hen tried to ask again, “Do you really want to watch your friend die?”
Wen Qingling got out of the car and said, “Otherwise? Am I going to kill the blood corpse for them?”
Ji Rong: “This is a really good idea.”
“It’s also a very good idea not to let you enter South City,” Wen Qingling said as he walked to the barbican.
Xiao Hen watched Wen Qingling leave and fell into deep thought. He even turned a blind eye to his friend’s life. What else could move him? Is there anything that can move him at all?
Wen Qingling could turn a blind eye, but Xiao Hen and Ji Rong couldn’t. It was a minor issue if they wanted to die, but if they enraged the bloody corpse, it could spell disaster. Fang Shenlong was a little too delusional.
The two were silent all the way, until they were about to reach Ling City Base, where Ji Rong said, “What do you think Wen Qingling is?”
Human or zombie?
Xiao Hen: “I don’t know.”
In fact, they all had doubts, but their conjectures were so wild that they themselves couldn’t accept them.
Ji Rong said: “I would rather he was hurt by humans, which is why he turned away from humans and chose zombies.”
Xiao Hen: “Or, his psychic power is really that strong.”
Some ability research experts have hypothesized that if the psychic power reaches an extreme level, it may be possible to control the zombies.
But this was only a theory; no one knows how strong psychic power can be, and no one has ever achieved it.
Wen Qingling’s psychic power was indeed very strong. Perhaps it had really reached the “extreme level” in the words of experts, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the phenomenon that happened in South City.
Wen Qingling didn’t care about the troubles outside; he just wanted to take care of his own territory.
Humans want to die, so let them go.
They took the initiative to stab the hornet’s nest without listening to his persuasion. What else could he do?
After the destruction of the medium-sized base, Wen Qingling opened the main road of South City for one day, then the zombies blocked the way as usual, only opening the way for those who really needed treatment. Those with ulterior motives did not have the chance to set foot in South City.
Wen Qingling’s human emotions and sentiments were gradually leaving him, just like how he could hardly feel pain. His greatest feeling for Luo Fengjue was to persuade him to give up. Since he wasn’t willing, he wouldn’t persuade him any more. His heart was peaceful without any worry or sadness about losing his former good brother.
He may have lost both of these emotions.
Hua: Tbh I forgot who He Yi, Wen Chu, and Chang Boheng are. I’m just going in blind. ಥ_ಥ When did WCL save them???
