Shen Qian, an excellent employee of the Time-Space Quick Transmigration...
Chapter 123 Raising Little Zombies in the End of the World 7 Are you willing to come with me? ...
After reaching the third level, Shen Qian's five senses became sharper than those of the second level, and she found that her mental strength also became stronger.
The other party did not deliberately conceal his existence, so Shen Qian hardly spent any mental energy to determine the other party's location.
As Shen Qian devoted himself to searching for more supernatural powers, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
That blurry human figure doesn't seem to be that of an adult, but more like a child!
Could it be that... the son she had been looking for was in that building?
There was a hint of anxiety in Shen Qian's eyes as she looked towards the window, but she did not dare to shout loudly across the building.
Although the team members have cleared the area nearby, the existence of other mutated zombies cannot be ruled out. If the child is really there, her cries will attract zombies, which will not be worth the loss.
Shen Qian stood up, ignoring the fatigue he felt after the upgrade, and walked out.
Lin Wan called her: "Chen Qian, wait a minute, where are you going? Let's go together."
Shen Qian didn't even turn around: "No one is allowed to follow!"
Xu Yingshuang rolled her eyes: "See, she's also left the team."
Lin Wan didn't follow.
Xu Yingshuang added, "Didn't you just say that we can't act on our own? Why didn't you stop her?"
Lin Wan didn't follow them, and she guessed why Chen Qian didn't let them follow. She probably heard the noise Xu Yingshuang made just now while she was upgrading. Not pursuing the matter was already letting them off the hook, so how could she dare to go up and cause trouble?
Xu Yingshuang was still making sarcastic remarks beside him. Lin Wan glanced at her coldly: "Can you stop her?"
Xu Yingshuang: "She's at level three, and I'm at level two. Of course I can't stop her."
Lin Wan: "If you can't stop me, just say less."
Not to mention that Xu Yingshuang, a useless second-level healer, couldn't stop it, even she, a second-level psychic who was good at attacking, might not be able to stop it.
Besides, why stop her? If Xu Yingshuang hadn't insisted on coming over today, she wouldn't have wanted to team up with Chen Qian.
At this time, Chen Qian had already walked down the stairs in two steps, then trotted up the stairs, completely losing his usual caution.
Although she is not the original owner, she has been looking for her son for such a long time. She even traveled thousands of miles to S City just to see him and see how he is doing. Maybe her son is nearby now. How can she not be excited?
As he approached the room, Shen Qian's steps gradually slowed down. Perhaps the greater the hope in his heart, the more worried he was about being disappointed.
Shen Qian took a deep breath and told herself that it didn't matter even if it wasn't her son, at worst she could just keep looking tomorrow.
Shen Qian walked to the door. The door of the room was not closed, so she could easily see what was going on inside the room.
Just as she sensed, a boy was curled up in a corner of the room. His figure and silhouette seemed very similar to the boy in her memory.
Shen Qian suppressed his excitement and called out to the figure: "Zai'an, is that you?"
The dark shadow in the corner seemed to tremble, wanting to come out of the darkness, but then shrank back, only raising its face to look towards the door.
It was a familiar yet unfamiliar face, overlapping with the memory of the original owner in Shen Qian's mind.
He is really her son: Lu Zai'an!
She could almost see the scene a few years ago when the little ball stumbled with its arms outstretched, shouting "Mom" and throwing itself into the arms of its original owner.
She found him!
At this moment, the sun came out from behind the clouds, and the light in the room became brighter. Shen Qian finally saw the whole face clearly. It was a face so pale that it was almost bloodless!
His face did look like that of a seven-year-old child, but there were very obvious corpse spots on his neck and hands. The whites of his eyes were a little cloudy, but his eyeballs were shiny black.
The most obvious thing is his hands. His nails are black and long. They no longer look like human hands, but more like the claws of some animal.
Shen Qian's chest tightened and his whole body froze.
She didn't dare to move or go in.
Everything she saw shocked her greatly. She should have thought of it, she should have thought of it earlier!
How could a 7-year-old child possibly survive alone in a zombie-infested city during the apocalypse? How would he survive?
There is only one possibility, that is, he has also turned into a zombie...
The son she had been searching for was dead.
Chen Qian closed her eyes in pain. She knew that even if she felt sad, she had to accept the reality as soon as possible. Her son was dead, and there was no need for her to stay in this world. She should make the most rational choice: kill him with a shot, and then leave this world.
only--
Shen Qian couldn't do anything no matter what. Even though she knew clearly in her heart that the son in front of her was no different from a corpse, how could she do it?
He looked like an ordinary seven-year-old child, with only the obvious zombie features. At this moment, his eyes looked at her, and she even saw a hint of pleading in his eyes...
Shen Qian knew that this was all her hallucination. How could a zombie have emotions? How could it be possible for it to still remember her?
Forget it, Shen Qian accepted her fate. It was human nature that she couldn't take action. She decided to turn around and leave. What happened afterwards had nothing to do with her.
Just when Shen Qian decided to turn around and leave, she heard a hoarse call: "Mom—Ma!"
It was an extremely strange sound - like the sound forced out by a broken throat, which made people shudder, but also made Shen Qian's heart tremble.
She turned her head and looked at the boy in the corner in disbelief. He had already crawled forward two steps and looked up at her. When he saw her looking back, he wanted to shrink back for a moment but was reluctant to do so. He made a "woohoo" sound with his mouth, as if he wanted to keep her very much.
Shen Qian's feet seemed to be fixed, and he kept staring at the boy's face, as if he was confirming something.
“…Mom…”
This sound was softer than the previous one, but clearer. Shen Qian heard it clearly. The little zombie was actually calling her mother!
This...how is it possible!
But despite her excitement, Shen Qian still had a trace of rationality. She decisively pulled out her gun and walked in with high alert.
Recently, it has been revealed that high-level psychic zombies have appeared in some areas. Could it be that my son has been controlled by other psychic zombies, which is why he made such noises?
Shen Qian had countless questions and guesses in his mind, but he still approached cautiously with the gun in hand.
When she got closer, she could see clearly that the little zombie had a sad and pleading look on his face, which was not the expression a normal zombie should have.
She stopped and looked at him, a strange thought coming to her mind, could it be that he still retained some consciousness, or even some memory?
This idea is too absurd, but it is the only explanation.
Shen Qian took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know who I am? Can you recognize me?"
Even though he held a one in ten thousand chance, Shen Qian couldn't help but want to confirm it.
The next second, she actually saw the little zombie nodding his head rapidly.
Shen Qian's heart was beating wildly, this was actually true!
"Do you know you are my son?"
The little zombie still nodded.
Shen Qian decided to ask a more difficult question: "When did you become a zombie?"
The little zombie opened his mouth and hummed as if trying to speak, but he was unable to utter any complete sentences or words.
Shen Qian sighed and decided to take the risk and get closer: "I want to feel your pulse, give me your wrist."
The little zombie quickly sat on the ground obediently and handed her his wrist.
"You can't catch me suddenly, that would be very dangerous, you know?" Shen Qian said.
The little zombie quickly curled up its claws and carefully put them away, fearing that it would hurt anyone.
Seeing that he was cooperating, Shen Qian squatted down and felt his pulse.
It felt cold to the touch, completely devoid of human body temperature. Even the skin became dry and hard, but the pulse was beating at a very slow rhythm.
This was not the pulse a human should have. Shen Qian knew in his heart that the child in front of him was no longer a normal living person. He had indeed completely turned into a zombie, but he had miraculously retained his consciousness and memory.
I don’t know whether this is fortunate or unfortunate.
Shen Qian didn't know how he had managed to survive in this hellish city until now after becoming a zombie, but she knew that it must have been very difficult for him during this period.
Shen Qian suddenly thought that when he gave He Ruibei acupuncture, he injected purification power, which seemed to have an inhibitory effect on the zombie virus in his body. Would the same method work on Zai An?
In fact, Shen Qian was not sure at all. After all, He Ruibei had just been infected with the virus, and his son had obviously almost completely turned into a zombie.
However, Shen Qian couldn't bear to leave him like this, so he said: "Zai'an, I will try to use my purification ability to see if it can help you. It may be a little uncomfortable. If it is uncomfortable, you can scream, but you are not allowed to scratch my hand, understand?"
Lu Zai'an nodded even harder than before: "Woooooo!"
Shen Qian was afraid that he would shake his head, so he quickly stopped him: "Don't make such big movements in the future."
Lu Zai'an stopped moving immediately.
Shen Qian sighed, although this little zombie looked a little creepy, it was really well-behaved and cute.
Shen Qian felt that she might be mentally ill, as she actually used the word "well-behaved and cute" to describe a zombie. She regained her composure and mobilized the purification ability in her body to input it into the child's body bit by bit.
The child was a little resistant at first, with a distorted expression on his face, as if he was suffering from great pain. Shen Qian felt that his body was rejecting his ability, and the input speed was also very slow.
But she didn't give up. This might be the only way she could help him.
I don’t know if this method really worked, but the zombie virus in Lu Zai’an’s body finally couldn’t withstand it. Shen Qian felt the resistance on his hand loosen, and the speed of purifying energy input was much faster than before.
A magical scene happened. Shen Qian also saw that the corpse spots on Lu Zai'an's neck and hands gradually faded. His pupils gradually returned to the normal human color from the initial creepy black, and even the dark blue blood vessels under his skin faded a lot.
Shen Qian stopped what he was doing and looked carefully. His son's other zombie symptoms had improved a lot, but the nails on his hands were still black and pointed, with almost no change.
Shen Qian had no choice but to find a pair of leather gloves from her backpack that she had as a spare for missions and put them on her son.
This is adult size and fits him perfectly.
After doing all this, Shen Qian stood up and looked at the boy in front of him: "Lu Zaian, are you willing to come with me?"
The child looked at her intently and shouted, "Oh!"
He does!
