: I OPENED A CLINIC IN THE APOCALYPSE

There was some commotion in the civilized base. Ever since the Level 8 evolved zombie, “General,” left, they hadn’t felt the pressure of higher-level zombies for a long time. They couldn’t figure out the sudden surge of pressure.

Ji Rong and Shi Chong also felt a chill down their spines. The unfamiliar roar of the zombie made them feel the pressure as well.

Xiao Hen approached Wen Qingling and sniffed near his neck, saying, “You smell good. There’s no foul stench of zombies or the scent of humans. What are you exactly?”

Apart from Wen Qingling, all the zombies in the civilized base didn’t have the rotten smell of zombies. Instead, they had a faint scent of grass and plants, and the fragrance on Wen Qingling was even stronger.

If it weren’t for Wen Qingling being able to infect him, Xiao Hen would have doubted whether Wen Qingling was really a zombie. He didn’t look like one, and he didn’t smell like one either.

Wen Qingling looked at Xiao Hen, who was covered in the juice of the blood anemone, which looked like he had just eaten raw meat. Wen Qingling pushed him away in disgust and said, “We civilized zombies are supposed to live with dignity. Maintaining cleanliness is basic. Go wash up and change your clothes.”

Xiao Hen stood still. “Can’t we let Ji Rong and Shi Chong be themselves?”

Wen Qingling replied, “I don’t trust humans.”

Xiao Hen said, “I’m no longer human. Can you trust me now?”

Wen Qingling took a piece of gauze from the desk and wiped the blood-like juice off Xiao Hen’s face. “You still need further observation.”

Xiao Hen grabbed his wrist. “Between us, you’re the dominant one. You can suppress me. Isn’t that enough for you to feel at ease?”

Wen Qingling replied, “I can control your actions but not your thoughts.”

Wen Qingling tapped his chest. “Your heart still belongs to the human camp. I want your heart to be on my side too.”

Xiao Hen gazed at him. “My heart has long been with you.”

Pale hands pressed against Xiao Hen’s chest, and Wen Qingling slowly spoke, “That statement is true, but you still can’t let go of humans.”

Xiao Hen sighed softly. “As far as I know, zombies don’t have special abilities, right?”

Wen Qingling said, “You and I are both anomalies in the zombie world.”

Xiao Hen shook his head. “No, I’m not. It’s you who allowed me to retain my spatial ability.”

If it weren’t for Wen Qingling, Xiao Hen would definitely not have been able to keep his spatial ability. He didn’t know the role Wen Qingling played in this, but Xiao Hen could sense that the source was Wen Qingling.

Xiao Hen said, “Your mansion isn’t built yet. If you turn Shi Chong into a zombie, he will lose his earth-based ability. Do you also want to personally convert him?”

Wen Qingling replied, “Converting you is already troublesome enough. I don’t want to create another problem.”

Xiao Hen said, “So, for now, you can’t let him become one of us.”

Xiao Hen continued, “And what about Ji Rong? He has antibodies in his body and can’t be infected by the zombie virus. Will you personally do it?”

Wen Qingling crossed his arms. “I’m the leader. Have you ever seen a leader do everything themselves? If even converting a human requires the leader to do it personally, what’s the use of having subordinates?”
