End of the World Cycle
Chapter 19: Adopt the Zombie King.
It was not until the little zombie fell asleep in his arms that Xie Qin realized that he must be crazy to want to keep a zombie king by his side!
But this child is really good, sleeping peacefully, not at all like the scary zombie king in the book. He is flesh and blood. If I hadn't seen him born from a zombie with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought he was a zombie.
Weighing the pros and cons, this child is really strong, and he has just been born, so I can try to raise him. If he can grow up with emotions like a human being, this will undoubtedly be another great guarantee for my future life.
If he can't, then I can find a way to kill the corpse crystal and it won't be a loss. After all, he is just a child now. Even if he can suppress his superpowers, I still have ways to kill him.
After the child fell asleep, Xie Qin boiled water to wash the child. After searching for a long time, she finally found some small clothes. She planned to try to raise the child like raising a human being. Then she could observe the situation slowly.
The child likes to sleep very much, and he always falls asleep when I bathe him. The temperature in the kitchen is not low compared to outside, but the child is still frozen purple after taking a bath. Xie Qin had no choice but to unbutton her down jacket and hold the child in her arms. Fortunately, she is thin, so she zipped up the jacket and the child was barely wrapped in it.
An hour passed after getting everything ready. Afraid that the child would wake up and cry from hunger, Xie Qin had to go out to look for milk powder. She took out her phone and carefully flipped through the pre-saved map of Furong City, and found more than a dozen maternity and baby stores nearby.
Fortunately, they were all street-side stores, some of which were on the first floor and were buried by snow. Xie Qin directly smashed the floor and went down to look for them. With her experience in taking care of her younger brother, Xie Qin found a lot of diapers that were not soaked in water, both large and small, and she didn't miss any that she could find. The shelf life of milk powder was not too long, so she took some that were about to expire with her. She collected more than 30 cans of milk powder, which should be enough for a while.
Xie Qin brought her children's clothes, bottles, and even some small toys that could be used. The baby stores always have everything. After visiting more than a dozen baby stores, Xie Qin's sled was full.
She didn't plan to take the child back. After all, this was an uncertain factor. Keeping the child with her and observing him was the best option. At this moment, she regretted that her sled was too small.
The back was filled with things, but luckily the child was willing to drink the milk powder. After feeding the child, Xie Qin stuffed the child into her arms and went straight south.
The further south you go, the more zombies there are. After all, the coastal areas are where the zombie outbreaks occur. The opportunity that the heroine encounters in the book is in Nanyang City, Guangnan Province. Nanyang City is the capital of Guangnan. After the rainstorm, the government transferred the survivors to the highest Changyun Mountain.
Those who went to Changyun Mountain were all old, weak, sick, and pregnant people who could not travel long distances. And because the top of Changyun Mountain was the only place that was not flooded, almost all the pregnant women in the surrounding area gathered there. Among them, there were so many third-level zombie fetuses that it was frightening.
Later, the heroine also deduced several temporary medical bases because of that place. Many crystal cores of zombie fetuses were found. Changyun Mountain is the place with the most. The best things should be held in your hands first to feel at ease. Therefore, this is the place Xie Qin wants to go first.
For a moment, Xie Qin felt that he was behaving like a thief, stealing the heroine's golden finger. But when he thought about it carefully, this was also his own world. Nothing had happened yet, and he didn't have any fixed complexes yet. Why couldn't something that didn't have an owner be his?
She is also a human being. She also wants to live a good life, live as she pleases, and even wants to be the protagonist...
Yes, she did nothing wrong. Since she survived, everything she did could not be wrong. If she really did something wrong, then let her die. If she did nothing wrong, then all the good life she deserves.
It was this world that gave her another chance, gave her the ability to stand out from the crowd, and gave her opportunities again and again. Then she would not give up everything she could grasp.
The three dogs pulled the sled southward, and the baby in their arms slept soundly. This child was so easy to take care of, he would only wake up when he was hungry or had diarrhea, and basically slept 24 hours a day.
A few days passed, and the child gradually became less ugly, his face became rounder, and his skin became whiter. He would smile foolishly in his dreams before he opened his eyes. Sometimes Xie Qin would look at him like this, and he would feel warm in his heart. Then he smiled and shook his head, talking to himself.
"People who can't live together will always develop feelings that can't be cut off." After saying this, he hugged the child tighter, using his body temperature to keep the child warm.
On the sixth day, Xie Qin stopped at a county town. He found a residential area that looked fairly upscale. The surroundings were completely white. Apart from the zombies trapped in the building making noises, there was no living creature around.
The snow covered the fourth floor, and Xie Qin knocked on the window on the fifth floor and climbed in. Several dogs followed. When the dogs were untied, they ran into the corridor to find zombies to eat.
Xie Qin took the child and found a relatively clean bedroom. She closed the doors and windows, leaving a vent, and covered the window with the dusty sheets and quilts on the bed. After the fire started, the temperature in the room gradually rose. She took out the battery, plugged in the electric blanket, spread out the wool blanket, and took out the sleeping bag.
When the temperature was almost 10 degrees, I took the child out of my arms and put him on the bed.
Who knew that as soon as he left Xie Qin's arms, the child started crying. I thought he was an easy baby to take care of, but he woke up as soon as he fell to the ground. The child seemed to have become dependent on his smell, and cried heartbreakingly when he left his arms.
Xie Qin clearly felt that the zombies around him were getting agitated. She was so scared that she quickly hugged the child in her arms. Although the crying stopped, when Xie Qin lowered her head, she happened to meet the child's slowly opening eyes.
Xie Qin's breathing stagnated, and his heart skipped a beat. The child's pupils... were actually blood red. The child saw Xie Qin's face clearly, his eyelids slowly blinked, and he opened his mouth to look around for food. Xie Qin knew he was hungry.
It took Xie Qin a while to accept the child's eyes. After getting used to them, she even thought they were cool. The child nestled in Xie Qin's arms and ate milk. While the room was warm, Xie Qin found a relatively clean basin, filled it with water and gave the child a bath. At night, Xie Qin fell asleep and turned over, a little further away from the child. She vaguely felt the child moving. Xie Qin half-closed her eyes and took a look. The child actually slowly twisted his body towards her, and stopped until his little face touched her arm, and then fell asleep again comfortably.
Along the way, Xie Qin felt the changes in the child day by day, and gradually found something wrong, that is, the child's skin was getting whiter and whiter, bloodless white. Although it was not so white that it was scary, it was far from normal humans, just like a person with albinism, but the skin looked colder than that of an albinist.
Apart from this, the baby was just like any other baby. After running for more than half a month, the dogs finally arrived at Changyun Mountain. There were no living people on the mountain. The makeshift shelters were only one floor and were all buried in the snow.
Xie Qin found the entrance to the Fangcang Cabin Hospital, picked up a shovel and started digging. When he reached the roof, he stopped and patted the surrounding snow hard to prevent collapse.
Xie Qin violently tore open the roof and jumped down. The child in his arms groaned twice because of the noise. Xie Qin habitually patted his back and the child instantly quieted down.
After it quieted down, Xie Qin felt that it was terrifyingly quiet. He scanned the area with his mental power and found that there were too many zombies inside. Not only the pregnant woman, but also many other zombies, nearly a thousand in number.
Xie Qin was frightened instantly. After killing several first-level zombies in front of her, she dared not move forward. The heroine had space. It was only a matter of time before she could become invisible through space and suddenly appear to kill thousands of zombies.
But she was different. She was only a second-level superpower user. Although she had many superpowers, her energy was limited. Once the zombies were alerted, it would be difficult for her to escape by herself.
Xie Qin climbed up again. Sitting in the sled, she carefully drew the floor plan of the shelter hospital. She found the obstetrics department according to her memory. After circling it, she hesitated for a few seconds while looking at the child in her arms, and decided to do it.
Walking to the top of the obstetrics department, Xie Qin took out a shovel and dug down, using the same method to open a hole on the top of the obstetrics department. After jumping down, there were two second-level maternity zombies in front of him. Fortunately, due to the low temperature, these zombies moved slowly, and Xie Qin quietly dealt with the two zombies in front of him, took out the crystal core, and slowly moved to the door of the obstetrics department.
The obstetrics department was not small, occupying one-fifth of the entire square cabin hospital. Most of the women who had given birth lived in the ward on the east side. After blocking the only exit between the ward and other places, Xie Qin returned to the exit he had dug before.
Xie Qin took the child out of her arms, and the child cried the moment he was frozen. Xie Qin didn't have time to feel sorry for the child and directly wrapped him in a sleeping bag, tied a rope and put him through the hole into the room at the entrance of the square cabin hospital.
Instantly, the zombies in the cabin heard the child's cry, and instantly rushed towards the direction of the sound as if they were injected with chicken blood. As the zombies rushed over one by one, Xie Qin pulled the child up a little, to a place where the zombies could not reach.
Because the child couldn't feel Xie Qin or smell Xie Qin's scent, and because he was cold, he cried louder and louder. The louder his heart-wrenching cries, the more zombies appeared.
No more zombies could squeeze into that small room. With his spiritual power, he sensed that except for the obstetric zombie that he had stopped, basically all the zombies were gathered here.
Xie Qin pulled the child up. Although he was wrapped in a sleeping bag, his face was still purple from the cold, and his small body was trembling. His eyes were bloodshot, and his pupils looked like they were about to bleed.
After untying the sleeping bag, Xie Qin directly opened her clothes, tore off her thermal clothes, and wrapped the child directly against her skin.
In an instant, Xie Qin felt that the child's face was colder than ice. He looked down and saw many red spots on his face. This was the manifestation of frostbite. But when the child smelled his scent and leaned on him very attachedly, Xie Qin regretted it. He took out a dagger and cut his palm. The blood dripped into the room under his feet.
Suppressing the strange emotions in her heart, Xie Qin ran to the obstetrics department without any delay. She jumped down without hesitation. The water condensed in her hand instantly turned into hard sharp ice due to the low temperature. Xie Qin pushed forward. The second-level power ability was very powerful. In an instant, the ice pierced the zombie's brain.
The second-level zombies all had some sense of danger. Xie Qin used a wall of fire to prevent a large number of zombies from approaching, and then used ice arrows that combined water and strength to kill the zombies.
Using three powers at the same time was very effective, although it was energy-consuming. Soon, all the zombies trapped in the obstetrics department were killed.
Just as he was about to pick up the corpse crystals, many baby zombies came out of the belly of the pregnant woman. This was the first time Xie Qin saw real viviparous zombies, all of them were level three, and these zombies were completely different from the one in his arms.
Those little zombies looked like monsters, small, with fangs in their mouths, long limbs, and they were crawling quickly on the ground. Their skin was an ugly dark green, and there was disgusting mucus on their bodies. They had no eyelids, only two eyeballs that moved around and looked around, trying to escape.
Compared to the newborn zombie, Xie Qin's movements were obviously faster. Water balls hit the little zombie, and the zombie was instantly frozen and unable to move.
The firewall stopped the little zombies that wanted to escape, giving them enough time to deal with them. Soon, there was no living creature in the entire obstetrics department.
Xie Qin didn't dare to waste time, and pried the corpse crystals with swift movements. There were seventy-three second-level maternal zombies, twenty-six first-level ones, and fifty-three third-level fetal corpse crystals. It was a big harvest.
Without the zombie king's call, the surrounding zombies soon heard the movement in the delivery room. They all rushed over, and Xie Qin's blocking of the door could no longer hold. He turned over and jumped onto the exit leading to the ground, and left the square cabin hospital without stopping.
Xie Qin heaved a sigh of relief only when the sled was almost out of sight of the quarantine center. She looked down at the child in her arms.
The child was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. His face was frostbitten. Many red spots had turned purple. Xie Qin felt that the child's temperature was even higher than her own. She knew. The child had a fever.
She touched the child gently, but the child didn't respond at all. If the child wasn't still breathing, she would have thought the child was dead. Xie Qin was a little panicked. After spending so much time together, it would be a lie to say that there was no affection between them. She really felt that she had lost her mind just now to use the child to lure the zombies.
Xie Qin found a sheltered place and stopped. After she had made the milk, she handed it to the child, but the child did not open his mouth. As the temperature of the child in her arms rose, she felt that she could not delay any longer. She needed antipyretic medicine!
