: I OPENED A CLINIC IN THE APOCALYPSE

No matter how Xu Shengfei entered the city, the three of them couldn’t enter openly and honestly.

Not to mention the blood of Xiao Hen and Lu Tianjin, just Wen Qingling’s blood alone was like a bomb. Even zombies couldn’t withstand the power of a single drop of his blood. If humans got hold of it, the consequences would be unimaginable, especially considering its instability and propensity for mutation. No one knew what kind of mutation Wen Qingling’s blood could cause at any moment.

Since they couldn’t enter through the main gate openly, they could only climb the wall.

Wen Qingling thought of a good plan and prepared to implement it amidst Xiao Hen’s speechless expression. Xiao Hen didn’t need to climb the wall; he could teleport himself inside. Wen Qingling and Lu Tianjin were the ones who needed to climb.

Xiao Hen found a secluded spot for them, and Wen Qingling used his wood-based ability. A thick vine emerged from a corner of the wall, swiftly climbing upward like a serpent.

Even with Wen Qingling’s jumping ability, he couldn’t conquer the smooth surface of the hundred-meter-high wall. He couldn’t climb up by stepping on the wall; he could only rely on the vine to leap. In an instant, several leaps later, they were already standing on top of the city wall. Without hesitation, Wen Qingling jumped straight down.

He couldn’t climb up, but he could jump down.

Lu Tianjin’s speed was far slower than Wen Qingling’s, but he managed to climb over without any mishaps. Wen Qingling retracted his wood-based ability, and the robust vine turned to ashes, scattering on the ground.

The people in the Central Mega City probably couldn’t fathom that even a hundred-meter-high city wall couldn’t stop the wall climbers.

Below the wall was an open space without any place to take cover. Before the patrolling soldiers arrived, Xiao Hen led them away from the spot and dashed toward the nearest slum area.

The slum area had low-rise buildings and narrow alleys, with a higher population. They could blend in and avoid drawing attention.

Both Xiao Hen and Wen Qingling were fast, but Lu Tianjin couldn’t keep up with their speed. His black robe fluttered in the wind, occasionally revealing his fierce appearance, enough to frighten children… No, to petrify them.

Two children stood in the alley, appearing to be only three or four years old. They were emaciated, and covered in dirt as if they had crawled out of a garbage dump. The smaller child held a black mud ball in their arms, staring without blinking at the figure in the black robe, clearly petrified.

After a moment of shock, the slightly older child burst into tears and turned to run, leaving the smaller child standing there dumbfounded.

Lu Tianjin also froze in place. The ever-changing fierce countenance hidden beneath his hood caused him to tremble. He struggled to restrain himself, but his instincts overpowered his rationality. He let out a low roar and pounced toward the child. Xiao Hen swiftly intervened, blocking him and grabbing Lu Tianjin, pressing him against the wall.

Xiao Hen had grown accustomed to his identity as a zombie and had also adapted to the fact that civilized zombies don’t eat humans. However, he forgot about the zombie in front of him. This one had regained consciousness after consuming the corpse of an awakened individual and had mutated. He wasn’t a civilized zombie and wasn’t affected by Wen Qingling’s blood. He was a pure, flesh-eating zombie who had already devoured many awakened individuals!

The dumbfounded child started wailing loudly. Wen Qingling stared at the child for a few seconds and commanded him, “Stop crying.”

“Waaah!” The child cried even louder.
