Chapter 130 Raising Little Zombies in the End of the World 14 Visiting the University at Night

He Ruize couldn't bear to see his brother suffer, so he quickly went over and hugged him in his arms: "Ruibei... I'm sorry for you, I didn't protect you well..."

He Ruibei wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything. He felt so uncomfortable that his back arched, one hand against his stomach, and his whole body was shaking.

"He...what's going on? Chen Qian, you better think of a solution quickly." He Ruize's voice trembled, afraid that his brother would finally give up after holding on until now.

Shen Qian had also been observing He Ruibei's reaction. She said, "He wants to vomit. Give him a basket and let him vomit."

He Ruize didn't have time to react before Lu Zai'an, who had been observing secretly, rushed out and handed him a wastebasket.

He Ruibei screamed and spat out a large mouthful of dark red liquid, and suddenly the whole room was filled with the fishy smell of blood.

He Ruize was terrified. He thought his brother was really finished and was vomiting blood. He was afraid that he would not survive the day.

Chen Qian calmly stood up and opened the windows and door of the room to let in some fresh air.

"What should I do...what should I do?" He Ruize was at a loss.

After He Ruibei finished vomiting, he vomited two more mouthfuls of liquid, each one darker than the last. The nauseating fishy smell became stronger and stronger, which was heartbreaking to watch.

Shen Qian said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing that he can spit it out."

He Ruize was about to ask in detail, but he saw his brother in his arms look up, with a gritted smile on his face: "Brother, I feel much better. This medicine may really save me."

"Really?" He Ruize was a little unconvinced. The scene of his brother vomiting blood just now was really scary.

He even wondered if He Ruibei's improvement in mental state was a last gasp of glory.

"Really, I feel like my breathing is much smoother than before." He Ruibei's complexion did look better than before.

After repeated confirmation, He Ruize finally believed that his brother was really getting better after taking the medicine.

"Chen Qian, this pure vine can really suppress the virus in my brother's body! Where did you get this grass?"

Shen Qian didn't intend to hide it. After all, they were all at the resettlement site, and she couldn't hide it. "I just found out that my son has a wood-type ability. He accidentally planted the Polygala you gave me last time, and it mutated and became a pure vine."

He Ruize suddenly realized: "So that's how it is...your son...is actually a wood-type mutant!"

He looked at the child in the corner and walked over.

Lu Zai'an was not used to strangers getting close to him. He moved his butt on the small stool and looked up at his mother with a look of help in his eyes.

Chen Qian gave him an encouraging look and used only his mouth to remind him to be careful not to hurt anyone with his claws, and also not to talk.

With his mother by his side, Lu Zai'an finally calmed down and looked at his uncle who was approaching.

"Thank you, kid. If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have gotten this herb, and wouldn't have received better treatment."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to hug the child, but was stopped by Shen Qian.

"My son is quite shy. That's all. I'll praise him later."

"Chen Qian, thank you for what you did today. If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't be alive today and wouldn't be able to wait for this herb. Later on...can you continue to treat my brother? I've discussed it with my brother, and we'll pay for the treatment. We have some mid- to high-level crystal cores here. If you don't mind, please accept them. My brother will have to trouble you and your son later on."

After he finished speaking, he placed all his belongings on the table. These were all the savings that the two brothers had accumulated over the past three years. There were crystal cores with no attributes, as well as fire, wood, and lightning crystal cores.

Shen Qian thought about it and took away three of the wood crystal cores, two of which were mid-level and one was high-level.

"These three are quite useful to me, so I'll take them. From now on, as long as I'm in S City, I'll be responsible for He Ruibei's treatment. Also, you have a wide network of contacts here. Do you know where to find more plants? If there are any Chinese herbal medicines, that would be even better."

Now, because of her son, she really needs to plant more plants in the yard. She didn't know that her son had wood-related abilities before, so she only brought back some fruit and vegetable seeds, which were of no help to her son's abilities.

Plants with medicinal value usually have abundant spiritual energy. After being cultivated by wood-type mutants, they may form wood-type crystal cores. My son will need a large number of wood-type crystal cores to resist the zombie virus and upgrade.

He Ruize really had no idea what was going on. Just as he was about to speak, He Ruibei, who was lying on the bed, said, "I know a few places you can look for them. The first is the two universities in S City: the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Agricultural University. As far as I know, both universities have nurseries and seed banks. The other is City Park. As far as I know, when the apocalypse came, City Park was holding an exhibition on Chinese herbal medicine. I visited it then, but it's been three years now, and I don't know what it looks like now."

This information was very important to Shen Qian. She also took He Ruibei's pulse. At this time, the zombie virus in He Ruibei's body had not been cleared yet, but his pulse was much better than before.

It seems that the purification ability alone is not enough, and the medicinal effect of the purification vine is indeed more effective when combined with it.

Seeing that He Ruibei was fine, Shen Qian was about to leave with her son, but He Ruize stopped her, "Shen Qian, the two places my brother mentioned are dangerous areas. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. You can call me when the time comes, or I can talk to Captain Zhuo Lin and see if I can help you."

Shen Qian said: "Not for now, you don't need to tell him."

After returning home, Shen Qian looked at the still growing Jingteng and turned to his son: "Did your father give you anything to eat before?"

Lu Zai'an shook his head, pointed at the crystal core in her hand, and nodded.

Sure enough, Lu Weiyuan, as a person with superpowers, also noticed his son's abnormality and used crystal cores to suppress the zombie virus for him, but he did not try to use drugs, which shows that he suspected that the drugs were useless.

Moreover, as a zombie, Lu Zai'an's digestive system has completely stopped working. If he is forced to eat, it will not only be of no benefit to him, but will create an extra burden.

Chen Qian really didn't dare to take the risk and had to give up.

Fortunately, the crystal cores I have now can last for a while.

“Hey, I don’t know how often your father pays child support.” Shen Qian touched Lu Zai’an’s head and sighed.

It would be best if it was paid daily, she thought.

If we could get those Chinese herbs and breed mutant plants, maybe we could achieve self-sufficiency in wood-related abilities.

Of course, before that, Shen Qian took his son to plant the seeds of vegetables and fruits brought back from the experimental field in the backyard.

The little zombie's wood-related ability was quite useful. In just two days, the originally bare backyard gradually grew into the size of a vegetable garden. Shen Qian found some wooden strips and built a simple trellis. The cucumbers bloomed and produced small fruits that same day.

…

Shen Qian finally did not accept He Ruize's suggestion. She neither called He Ruize nor told Zhuo Lin. She chose to take her son to explore these three places first.

After knowing the specific situation, we can decide whether to take action on our own or seek external assistance.

Before leaving, to be on the safe side, Shen Qian went to the survival base to replenish some ammunition, bought a locator with high-definition video call function and a drone with reconnaissance function, and bought some dry food in case of emergency.

Back in the car, Shen Qian handed the locator to Lu Zai'an: "Son, this is for you. When the time comes, I will get off the car to find supplies, and you just stay in the car and wait for your mother."

"Woo woo woo..." Lu Zai'an was unwilling to stay in the car.

"Be obedient. Mommy's missions are always dangerous. I don't want you to take risks with me. It will distract me."

“Woo woo…”

The little zombie felt very aggrieved. Normally, his mother would go on missions with the action team without him, because he knew he was special and couldn't make things difficult for his mother. But today, his mother went on a mission alone without him. What if his mother got into trouble outside?

In addition to feeling wronged, he was also very anxious.

Although he is small, he is capable and can protect his mother!

Driving a pickup truck through the devastated city, you can see abandoned vehicles everywhere, and occasionally you'll see rotten corpses bitten by zombies.

If it were in the past, Chen Qian would definitely find such a journey extremely difficult, but now that there is a little zombie by his side, occasionally teasing him, it doesn’t seem so difficult anymore.

Shen Qian first came to the gate of the Agricultural University. There were not many zombies near the gate. Looking inside, through the sparse trees on the roadside, she could see that the campus was empty. Occasionally she could see one or two zombies, but it didn't seem very dangerous.

She raised the drone, intending to have it conduct a deeper investigation.

The drone had just taken off for a short while when Shen Qian saw from the surveillance footage that there were many zombies in the direction of the teaching building. As he flew further in, he saw more and more zombies crowding the corridors and classrooms.

With such a density of zombies, not to mention her going in alone, even if she called the entire Dawn Action Team, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Usually, the army has to take the lead in organizing and multiple action teams have to cooperate to completely eliminate such a density of zombies.

Although Shen Qian was mentally prepared, his heart sank when he saw this scene.

If nothing unexpected happens, the other university and the city park should have the same scene.

However, Shen Qian is not someone who gives up easily. She must investigate it herself before making a decision.

So Shen Qian turned the pickup truck around and went to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the other side of the city.

The gate of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is in the style of an imposing ancient archway. At this time, the pickup truck was still some distance away from the gate, but Shen Qian stopped the car.

"Hey, I can't go through. There are too many zombies here. It's dangerous to go forward."

Unlike the Agricultural University, the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is next to the famous Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in S City. It is closer to the commercial street, so there are many more zombies wandering on the street than in front of the Agricultural University.

In order to avoid being caught in the zombie tide, Chen Qian could only stop the car and observe from a distance.

Lu Zai'an looked at the zombies wandering in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what the danger his mother was talking about was.

"Yeah!" Lu Zai'an pointed forward.

"Yeah, we were originally going there, but... well, forget it, let's go to the city park. There are so many zombies, I'm afraid we'll be surrounded by zombies before we even reach the school gate."

As Shen Qian was about to reverse the car and leave, Lu Zai'an suddenly seemed to understand something, unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and jumped out.

"Zai'an!" Shen Qian wanted to hold him back, but was a step too late. The child actually trotted towards the zombies in front.

Shen Qian was anxious and wanted to get off the car, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
