I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

Chapter 38

The Sisters raise their hands. We have different opinions. The combat effectiveness of the General may not be better than the Turret. The advantage of the General is that it is the leader of all zombies. They are all under its command whether they are evolved or ordinary zombies. The direction of evolution for the General is the brain, while the focus for the Turret is firepower. Perhaps the General is easier to deal with than the Turret.

Wen Qingling shook his head and sighed, The brain is a good thing. With it, things wont be easy.

Xiao Hen asked, Do you have a plan to deal with it?

Wen Qingling continued to shake his head. It is entrenched in the city center and wont come out. If we want to deal with it, we have to go to the city center. There must be many evolved zombies waiting for us there. Apart from rushing in, there is no other good way.

Xiao Hen asked, Are you planning to attack it directly?

All four of them looked at him at the same time. What else can we do?

They wanted to be tactful, but being tactful with brainless zombies probably wouldnt be as effective as being straightforward.

Xiao Hen fell silent for a moment. Is there a chance of winning if we attack it directly?

All four shook their heads at the same time. Maybe not, maybe yes. It depends on our firepower.

Blood Corpse and the sisters both looked at Wen Qingling. We are betting on Lord Wen to win. If Lord Wen can defeat the General, we can help him clear out the evolved zombies.

Xiao Hen was surprised. Can you defeat the General?

Wen Qinglings expression was cold. If I can, how could it have been so arrogant until now? Without my consent, it commanded my zombie minions to go out and work and even condoned the evolved zombies to eat people in my base. I must settle this account with it.

Blood Corpse said, You are very strong, but you havent realized it yourself.

Wen Qingling replied, I thank you for thinking so highly of me, but theres no way you can inherit my South City!

The sisters said, You havent fought yet. How do you know you cant win?

Wen Qingling said, Girls shouldnt always talk about fighting and killing.

Xiao Hen understood. Without a plan, rushing in is no different than suicide.

Thats about right. It can be considered suicide.

Wen Qingling: Initiating an active attack may be a death sentence, while a passive counterattack may be waiting for death. The results are the same, so we might as well take a gamble.

The sisters pouted, We cant just let an ambitious lunatic continue to oppress us. If it doesnt die, we will eventually.

No leader wants to see uncontrollable subordinates. Dealing with them four is only a matter of time.

Xiao Hen said, As you said, the General controls all evolved and ordinary zombies. Can you resist level suppression?

There was a hint of probing in Xiao Hens words.

Looking at him, Wen Qingling said generously, The four of us are not subject to the level suppression of the General. It cant command us, so it will eventually come after us.

Very well, this is an acknowledgment.

None of them are human.

Xiao Hen looked at them one by one, with turbulent waves in his heart, but he could still remain calm on the surface, just tightening his grip on the knife.

Wen Qingling looked at him with interest, wondering what his reaction would be.

Xiao Hens reaction was no reaction. He had guessed that Wen Qingling might not be human a long time ago. Its just that he has only now been confirmed. With the previous conjectures as a foundation, Xiao Hen is not very difficult to accept this fact.

Xiao Hen said, I have a proposal, do you want to hear it?

Wen Qingling nodded, Speak.

Xiao Hen said, There is an air force training base near Rong City, not far from Ling City. They have armed helicopters there, and I can fly one. If we can get our hands on one, I can provide air support while you act cheaply. Even if we cant kill the General, we can at least wipe out a batch of evolved zombies. What do you think?

The blood corpse was the first to object, I disagree! I dont trust you at all! Since you know there are armed helicopters over there, why didnt you just come over with one? It just shows that its not easy to get your hands on an armed helicopter, right?

Xiao Hen admitted, Yes, there are mostly military zombies and many evolved zombies over there. Its difficult for humans to get close.

The blood corpse sneered, As expected, you want to use us to get an armed helicopter, and then come over and wipe out all of us zombies. Your plan is good, but unfortunately, I dont agree!

Xiao Hen also disliked the blood corpse. In the previous few encounters, he had genuinely wanted to kill this zombie, but the blood corpse was very strong and difficult to kill. He never thought that one day he would discuss cooperation with the blood corpse.

Xiao Hen said, Very well, I dont believe you either. The person I want to cooperate with is Wen Qingling, not you.

Xiao Hen looked at Wen Qingling and asked, What do you think?

Before Wen Qingling could speak, the two sisters said, We dont trust humans either, Lord Wen, please make your decision carefully.

Since Blood Corpse and the two sisters took the initiative to come and find Wen Qingling, it meant that they were showing goodwill. They wanted to stand on the same side as Wen Qingling, but they didnt trust humans and didnt want to cooperate with them.

Wen Qingling didnt answer Xiao Hens question, instead, he asked him, Now that you know our true identities, what do you think? Will you report our existence and then bring in some colonels or generals with their armies to besiege us?

After advancing again, Wen Qinglings strength had become even stronger than before. He was more sensitive and precise in sensing his targets, and he didnt need to touch them. He could see through them with just his eyes.

Xiao Hen knew that Wen Qingling was referring to their reporting of the incident in South City. If they had not brought back the information, Meng Lao would not have come to Ling Cheng Research Institute, and Yin Cheng would not have brought people to cause trouble in South City.

Xiao Hen said, Reporting the information in Ling Cheng is my duty. Finding Fang Zhen and bringing back his blood sample is my mission.

Wen Qingling asked, And now?

Xiao Hen replied, My current mission is to protect Meng Lao and establish the research institute.

Wen Qingling asked again, And what about our existence?

Xiao Hen looked at him and said, If there are orders from above, I can only obey.

Wen Qingling understood that if there were no orders, Xiao Hen would not report their existence, but if there were orders, he would not help to conceal it either.

Blood Corpse said to Wen Qingling, He is a threat! He knows too much. Why not just kill him directly?

Xiao Hen tightened his grip on his long sword, his eyes cold. He also wanted to kill Blood Corpse directly, as he had eaten too many people.

Wen Qingling lowered his eyes slightly and said, Xiao Hen, as I said before, if humans are peaceful with us, we will be peaceful with them. If humans go to war with us, we will go to war with them. As a human colonel, I hope you can weigh the pros and cons and not be a puppet who only follows orders. The orders from above may not always be right, you need to learn to observe for yourself.

Xiao Hen pressed his lips together. As a soldier, I cannot disobey orders.

Wen Qingling placed both hands on the ground and looked up at the sky. You are no longer soldiers of the country. You are only soldiers of a small number of upper-class individuals. Dont use your responsibilities during peacetime to boast about yourself. People are all selfish.

Wen Qinglings lips curved into a smile as he looked at Xiao Hen. Power is tempting. Once you get a hold of it, you wont want to let go. Do you think the pre-apocalyptic world and the post-apocalyptic world are the same?

Of course not.

The factional struggle is severe, with everyone fighting for credit and recognition. Its like this time, he and Yin Cheng are from two different factions, and they almost fought over the development of antibodies and vaccines. In the end, Yin Chengs side prevailed, which gave him the chance to be sent over here.

If Xiao Hen and his team were not directly involved in this matter, they would have been recalled by now. Even so, some people have suggested that they be replaced and four new people be sent in, but Xiao Hens superior refused.

Wen Qingling said, I am not human myself, nor do I have the compassion of the divine father to save humanity. I treat humans only to earn crystal nuclei. Compared to humans, I would rather help zombies who come to me with crystal nuclei in their hands.

I didnt want to go to war with humans in the first place, so I saved you and let you leave South City. I stopped the zombie tide and saved the Ling City Base for the first time. That was a trade with you. Whether Im willing to save you again in the future depends entirely on my mood, Wen Qingling continued.

Wen Qingling patted the dirt off his hands and said softly, We are not afraid of war because there are far more zombies than living people.

Zombies are difficult to kill and have no sense of pain. Unless you shoot them in the head, they wont die. The scariest thing is their infectiousness. How many survivors can withstand the consumption of a zombie tide?

Xiao Hen took a deep breath and said, I understand, and I will seriously consider it.

I propose cooperation with no ulterior motive. Its entirely because you want to kill the General, and we humans dont want to see the General appear either. So this may be a good opportunity for us to cooperate, Xiao Hen said.

Wen Qingling replied, We can talk about cooperation, but I must ensure that your armed helicopter will not pose a threat to zombies other than the target. We dont trust you, just like you dont trust us.

The armed helicopter requires a two-person crew, a pilot and a weapon system operator. Ill be the pilot, and the weapon system operator will be one of your people. Can we trust each other now? Xiao Hen asked.

Wen Qingling added, If the armed helicopter is intact after the war, you cannot take it away. You must leave it in Ling City.

Xiao Hen agreed.

Wen Qingling looked at the other three zombies and asked, What do you think?

The Blood Corpse said, Who will operate the weapon system? Can you do it?

Wen Qingling shrugged. He was sure he couldnt, and this kind of thing required a high level of professionalism that couldnt be mastered overnight.

The sisters: We must choose someone we can trust.

Wen Qingling stood up and said, Xiao Hen and I will go to Rong City and pick someone from the driver zombies. Well leave the professional stuff to the professionals. Ill leave my base to you. Please take care of it for me and make sure that the General doesnt cause any trouble.

The blood corpse patted his chest and assured him, Dont worry, Ill make sure everything is taken care of.

The sisters nodded in agreement, Dont worry, well take care of everything for you.

Wen Qingling nodded and said, You can go now. Ill go to Rong City directly and come back as soon as possible. I hope you can hold on until then.

When they came out, it was Wen Qingling who drove. They had to rely on the blood corpse, who was an adult, to go back, as the sisters were not old enough to drive.

Wen Qingling watched them leave before turning around to get in Xiao Hens car, Lets go.

In fact, Xiao Hen did not understand what Wen Qingling meant by picking someone from the driver zombies, and Wen Qingling did not explain it to him either.

The two of them remained silent all the way to Rong City.

Rong City was to the west of Ling City, more than a hundred miles away. Otherwise, it would have fallen under the control of the General, making it even more difficult to deal with.

Xiao Hen said, Can you do me a favor?

Wen Qingling asked, What is it?

Xiao Hen said, Can you use your psychic power to help me find Ji Rong and Meng Lao?

Wen Qingling asked, They went south while we are heading west. Do you think we can find them?

Xiao Hen said, They wouldnt have gone too far from Ling City, they must be in this area, and not necessarily moving south all the time.

Wen Qingling stretched out his hand, Crystal nuclei.

Xiao Hen handed him two second-level evolved zombie crystal nuclei.

Wen Qingling put the crystal nuclei into his own backpack.

Xiao Hen glanced at his backpack and asked, Did you bring baby anemone with you?

Wen Qingling said, No.

Xiao Hen did not ask any further.

Whenever he went out, Wen Qingling would carry a backpack with him. It had almost become his habit. Although his backpack did not have a baby anemone, it had the blood anemone.

He always carried his blood anemone with him and would never miss an opportunity to earn crystal nuclei.
