TL: Moonlit
Nowadays, the Central Giant City has been divided into seven parts by tall wooden walls. The Second District is surrounded by high walls, with only one city gate for exit. Everywhere else is inaccessible. This is the advantage of having a city gate. In the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Districts, which lack city gates, they are completely enclosed and unable to leave.
Of course, even if the Fourth District has a city gate, they cant get out because Wen Qingling blocked it. Its the sa either way.
The high-ranking officials of each district, who had been observing the situation, couldnt sit still anymore. Helicopters took off again, searching throughout the city to find the mastermind behind all of this.
The soldiers who ca out with Mo Chengshuang were all looking at him, trying to make their Colonel say sothing. The entire district was sealed off. How could they resolve this situation? No, this couldnt even be considered a seal. Compared to the Fourth District, at least they could still see the moon in the sky.
Mo Chengshuang knew that the situation was too volatile to be handled recklessly. He invited Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen to accompany him to the military headquarters in the Second District.
If they went, it wouldnt be just a simple visit.
Wen Qingling looked up at the sky, watching the helicopters circling above. He knew they were being frightened again.
Wen Qingling had exhausted himself and needed ti to absorb energy and replenish himself. He shouldnt be able to handle any more struggles at the mont.
Xiao Hen said, Theres no need to sit around. While the district is sealed off, its more important to clean up the undead and monsters within the district.
Only by cutting off their circulation could they find a better solution. As long as they cleaned up their own district, they wouldnt have to worry about undead and monsters from other districts coming over. It might be inconvenient to be separated, but it was the best option for now.
Mo Chengshuang looked at Wen Qingling lazily lying on Xiao Hens back. In that case, please take a rest in the Second District
No need. Ill take him back to the Third District. General Mo, please prepare a vehicle for us.
Xiao Hen interrupted him. He understood their thoughts, and rather than putting Wen Qingling in a dangerous situation, he would prefer to take so ti and bring Wen Qingling back to the Third District.
Mo Chengshuang didnt imdiately agree, clearly having so concerns.
Wen Qingling said, Dont overthink it. If I wanted to take action against the Central Giant City, I wouldnt have waited until now.
Mo Chengshuang:
Lei Yuxiao:
Arent you taking action against the Central Giant City right now?
Wen Qingling added, But isnt this district a bit too much? Why not get rid of a few?
Mo Chengshuang and Lei Yuxiao instantly tensed up, all staring at them cautiously.
Get rid of a few? Who should be eliminated? Who should be spared?
Wen Qingling took out a purple beast crystal and played with it in his hand. Why are you so nervous? The Central Giant City is not my ho. I dont care whether you live or die. Even if you all kill each other, it has nothing to do with .
Mo Chengshuang:
Lei Yuxiao:
The accompanying soldiers:
Xiao Hen said, Dont worry, we are not people from the Central Giant City. We dont care about its affairs. Whatever decisions you make and however you resolve them, its your own business and has nothing to do with us.
Everyone:
Dont you feel guilty saying that? Arent you people from the Central Giant City? Then whose father is General Xiao in the Third District?
Mo Chengshuang pondered for a mont and spoke, Can I take your words seriously?
Xiao Hen replied, Of course.
Mo Chengshuang looked at Wen Qingling.
Wen Qingling waved his hand. As long as you dont rush to offer heads, I wont harm you.
Mo Chengshuang fell silent. In other words, the Fourth District rushed to offer heads, which irritated the great leader.
Mo Chengshuang said, I understand. Ill prepare a vehicle for you.
The soldiers were all shocked, their eyes questioning the Colonel. Are you really letting them leave like this?
Mo Chengshuang was helpless. What else could he do if he didnt let them go? Their power levels were simply not on the sa level, and there was no chance of winning if they fought. It was better to befriend the great leader than to make enemies.
Xiao Hen drove, taking Wen Qingling away and also sending Lei Yuxiao and the people he brought back to the Fifth District.
Wen Qingling opened a door on the tall wooden wall, sending them back and sealing the door again, continuing to close it and leaving them to solve their own problems.
On the way back, Wen Qingling didnt forget to remind Xiao Hen to bring back the master of the flying corpse bees as well.
Hongfa and the others managed to escape, but they left behind the infected Alen.
It wasnt that they didnt want to take Alen with them, but there was simply no chance, especially since Alen was already infected. Even if they forcefully took him out, he wouldnt survive.
For the sake of the team, they had no choice but to abandon Alen.
Alen was found in a vehicle, with the zombie virus spreading throughout his body. He was waiting for death.
Xiao Hen returned to the Third District with Wen Qingling. After settling Wen Qingling, Xiao Hen imdiately went to the command center to report the situation to General Xiao and assigned the task of interrogating Alen to others.
Wen Qingling had exhausted a great deal of his powers this ti, completely draining himself. He stayed alone in the villa, recklessly absorbing the beast crystals to replenish his energy.
Xiao Hen hurried to the command center of the Third District, where everyone was waiting for him.
General Xiao, holding Kui Bao No. 2, had an angry expression on his face. Before he could get angry, Xiao Hen explained the whole situation to him and the others.
When they heard that the Fourth District and the tall wooden walls were all the work of Wen Qingling, everyone beca unsettled. Each persons gaze towards Xiao Hen was complicated, questioning why he hadnt brought Wen Qingling back earlier. If Wen Qingling had arrived sooner, the Central Giant City wouldnt have encountered such problems.
Soone tactfully asked, I wonder, what does Dr. Wen plan to do next?
Xiao Hen replied, Hes resting.
Soone thought Xiao Hen might not have understood and explained more clearly, Now the entire Central Giant City is practically under his control. Cant we consolidate and redistribute power?
This statent was more direct.
Wen Qingling was Xiao Hens wife, and now the entire Central Giant City was in the hands of Xiao Hens wife. Did that an the Third District could unify the Central Giant City?
How could Xiao Hen not see their thoughts? Many of them were his uncles. So things couldnt be said directly, so he said, Now is the best opportunity to clean up the districts. The Second and Fifth Districts have already started. Shouldnt the Third District start as well?
General Xiaos face turned serious as he began arranging the cleanup matters, assigning tasks to everyone, and keeping them all busy.
Once everyone had left, only Xiao Hen and Old Xue remained in the eting room.
General Xiao had an unpleasant expression. Now you can speak the truth. What exactly are your plans?
Xiao Hen pulled out a chair and sat down. I have no plans. This is an issue for your Central Giant City and has nothing to do with us.
General Xiao grabbed a stack of docunts and threw them, but Xiao Hen avoided it, allowing the papers to scatter on the floor.
Old Xue hurriedly tried to stop him. Hey, hey, calm down. Lets talk calmly without resorting to violence.
General Xiao slamd the table in anger. Does he look like soone who can talk calmly?!
Xiao Hen leaned back in his chair. I am talking calmly. Its just that you dont like to listen.
General Xiao wanted to throw sothing again, but there was nothing left to throw. He raised Kui Bao No. 2 in his arms, realizing he couldnt stoop so low as to throw a child even if it wasnt a normal child.
Old Xue understood General Xiao. He must have been struck by Xiao Hens use of the phrase your Central Giant City, which caused him to explode.
Old Xue busied himself comforting Xiao Jiang and asked Xiao Hen, Do you really have no thoughts?
Xiao Hen replied, I have no thoughts. Its just that Wen Qingling said there are too many major districts in the Central Giant City, and so can be reduced.
Xiao Jiang remained silent.
Old Xue chid in, Of course, we also want to reduce so districts, but is that even possible? It would touch the interests of too many people. Otherwise, the Central Giant City wouldnt be in the current situation.
Old Xue pondered and asked, Did he ntion which districts might be reduced?
Xiao Hen responded, The First District definitely wont exist anymore, and the Fourth and Sixth Districts probably cant be saved either. The fate of the Seventh District is still uncertain. I heard theres a grudge between Xia Jiang and Wen Qingling.
The grudge between them was baseless, of course.
If it were true that Xia Yunhan hated Wen Qingling because of Xia Jiang and vowed to fight him to the death, it would deeply affect Wen Qinglings heart.
Of course, Wen Qingling might not care.
Xiao Jiangs expression turned serious. So, its possible that only the Second, Third, and Fifth Districts will remain?
Xiao Hen didnt respond. He tapped his fingertips on the table and suddenly asked, What are you persistently guarding the Central Giant City for?
Xiao Jiang imdiately beca angry. What kind of nonsense question is that?! The Central Giant City has accommodated so many survivors. If we dont guard it, who will take responsibility for their life and death? The Earth hasnt exploded yet, and though many countries have been heavily damaged, they still exist. Are you suggesting that China should be the first to disappear from the Earth?!
Xiao Hen earnestly replied, If you truly care about China and the survivors, I hope youll listen to my advice. Take the survivors and leave the Central Giant City, move south. We are too close to Yunjing City, and we could face a disaster at any mont.
Xiao Hen paused and added a reminder, There is sothing extrely dangerous lurking in Yunjing City. Who knows when it will erge? If that happens, the Central Giant City will be the first to suffer.
This ti, Xiao Jiang didnt get angry again. He contemplated for a long ti before saying, How do you know?
Xiao Hen replied, I can sense it, just like when I left the Central Giant City and urged Old Xue to stop you from using energy weapons. You didnt listen, and the energy dissipated into the air, giving rise to the existence of the Flesh Mountain. Moreover, the evolved corpse beasts have beco more powerful.
Now, I sense the danger in Yunjing City. I suggest you relocate as soon as possible, the farther the better. Of course, if you dont listen, I cant do anything. I can only offer advice.
Xiao Hen took all these matters upon himself and didnt ntion Wen Qinglings potential precognitive abilities.
Wen Qinglings presence was already prominent enough, and further mythologizing him would not be beneficial.
Cedrick and the others were very powerful, and Xiao Hen was concerned about their sudden appearance within Chinese territory.
Xiao Jiang didnt know whether to believe it or not and sneered, You make it sound simple, but isnt relocation a difficult task? Leaving aside whether they are willing to leave the Central Giant City, even if they are willing, the journey is perilous. How many people can truly survive? And even if they survive, where can they go? Is there anywhere safer than the Central Giant City?
Xiao Hen said, Wen Qingling has built a civilized city in Ling City. The surrounding counties are protected by the civilized city, with separate areas for zombies and humans. As long as they dont cross the boundary, humans wont be in danger. People can engage in farming, hunting, and live peaceful lives. The life there is beyond your imagination.
The most important thing is that survivors there are no longer afraid of zombies. If they get infected, they can buy antidotes in the civilized city. If conditions permit, they can also purchase vaccines. The zombie virus is no longer a nightmare.
Xiao Jiang and Old Xue were both shocked.
Since they were rescued, they had been overwheld by a series of events and hadnt had ti to ask about the antidote.
Now, not only the antidote but even vaccines have co out.
Vaccines, huh? The Central Giant City invested a trendous amount of manpower, resources, and finances with the ultimate goal of researching vaccines. But in the end, they couldnt develop any, while Ling City managed to succeed.
Xiao Hen took out a colorless and transparent potion from his space and said, This is the zombie virus vaccine. The research lab in the civilized city is understaffed, so the research progress is slower. The current vaccine can only immunize against the ordinary zombie virus. The vaccine for the evolved zombie virus is still under research and should yield results soon.
Xiao Hen looked at their shocked faces and calmly said, Old Xue, you dont need the vaccine anymore. You already have antibodies that are effective against both the ordinary and evolved zombie viruses.
Speaking of this, Xiao Hen rembered the debt these two owed him.
Xiao Hen asked for the debt on the spot, By the way, is the reward ready for Wen Qingling saving you? Dont wait for him to ask for it. You should prepare it proactively. Its a total of 1,100 ordinary beast crystals.
Xiao Jiang:
Old Xue:
They were still imrsed in shock and couldnt extricate themselves when they were pressed for the debt.
Xiao Jiang reluctantly settled the bill with a gloomy face.
Old Xues face didnt turn dark, but
Can I use zombie crystal nuclei? I dont have that many beast crystals. Old Xues old face looked a little embarrassed.
We only accept beast crystals on our side, not zombie crystal nuclei, Xiao Hen replied.
The news about zombies being able to transform into new humans had to be kept confidential for now, or the whole world would go crazy.
Old Xue:
Xiao Jiang directly threw a bunch of keys to Xiao Hen and said, In the safe at ho, take whatever you need. Ill cover the cost for Old Xue.
Satisfied, Xiao Hen took the keys and left.
Xiao Jiang stopped him and said, Leave the antidote and vaccines!
Xiao Hen:
Xiao Hen: Robbery?
Xiao Jiang almost swung a chair at him and said, Ive given you access to the safe. Are you afraid I wont return your potions?!
Old Xue hurriedly interjected, We will discuss your proposal. The antidote and vaccines could be a breakthrough.
Xiao Hen understood and left them each with one dose of antidote and vaccine before heading to the safe.
