Chapter 124 Raising Little Zombies in the End of the World 8 Temporary Settlement Point...
Shen Qian took his son downstairs and called Captain Zhuo Lin directly through the communicator.
This was the first time she used the pager since becoming a member of the Dawn Action Team.
"Are you in danger?" Zhuo Lin replied immediately.
"No, Captain, you can see my coordinates, right? Can you come over here?"
Although his son Lu Zai'an looked no different from an ordinary child at this time, to be on the safe side, Shen Qian decided to inform Zhuo Lin directly.
Zhuo Lin had some understanding of Shen Qian's personality. He knew that she would never ask for help if she could solve the problem herself, so after he dealt with several mutant zombies at hand, he quickly came here according to the coordinates.
He didn't call anyone else because he knew Chen Qian. If she could ask someone else for help, she would never ask him. After all, Shen Qian usually avoided him whenever she saw him.
When he arrived at the downstairs of the small villa, Zhuo Lin saw that there was a little boy behind Shen Qian.
"Have you found your son?" Zhuo Lin was a little surprised.
Before Shen Qian could reply, Zhuo Lin immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Your son...has...already..."
The following words were so cruel that Zhuo Lin could not bear to say any more.
Chen Qian's expression remained calm, as if he had already accepted the reality. "Captain Zhuo, this is why I came to you. I want to take this child away, but I can't leave with the team. Can you help me?"
Zhuo Lin looked at her: "Have you thought it through? Do you know how risky it is to carry it with you?"
Shen Qian nodded: "I know, I have thought it through."
There was no point in trying to persuade her. Zhuo Lin understood that it would be very difficult for a mother to abandon her child, even if he turned into a zombie. He stopped trying and made a decision: "Wait here, I'll be back soon."
Zhuo Lin presided over the subsequent cleanup work, let the team members leave first, and drove a pickup truck to the small western-style building: "Get in the car, we can't go back to the survival base, we should be able to sneak into the resettlement site, but you know the rules."
Shen Qian nodded: "I understand."
If the son goes crazy and exposes himself in there, he will be executed.
But where could a woman like her go with a little zombie? Going to a resettlement site was the best option.
Shen Qian patted Lu Zai'an on the head: "Get in the car, I'll take you away."
The little zombie stood still, looking in a certain direction, as if he was a little reluctant.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qian asked.
He looked a little exhausted. He looked inside the car, then looked in the distance, and finally got into the car reluctantly.
Zhuo Lin didn't say a word along the way. He remembered to call He Ruize and asked him to help find a better place to live at the resettlement site.
When they were almost at the resettlement site, Zhuo Lin finally spoke up and said, "Your son has been quite quiet along the way, but you still have to find a way to keep him quiet. Once his identity is discovered, it will be difficult to deal with him."
Shen Qian agreed.
"Also, the He Ruize brothers are also at the resettlement center. They've been with me for a year. Although He Ruize's personality is a bit impetuous, he's quite reliable. If you need help, you can ask him for it. With my relationship and the fact that you helped his brother before, he'll definitely help you."
Shen Qian did not comment on this.
"As for others, you must keep your son's identity a secret. There are all kinds of people in the resettlement center, and it's hard to say what will happen."
Zhuo Lin was able to detect the child's identity at the first moment because his special ability allowed him to sense zombies. Those living in the resettlement site were all low-level special ability users, or just ordinary people.
As long as Shen Qian doesn't say anything and keeps the child's identity hidden, he should be able to hold out for a while.
As for the future...
In the apocalypse, no one knows what will happen in the future, let alone a zombie future.
"I understand." Shen Qian replied, "Thank you for what happened today."
Zhuo Lin glanced at Shen Qian in the rearview mirror and said nothing more.
Entering the resettlement site was smoother than Shen Qian expected. Zhuo Lin still had a certain prestige in S City. When the guard saw that it was the captain of the Shuguang Action Team, he exchanged a few flattering words and let him pass.
He Ruize was already waiting here. When he saw the two people get out of the car, he said, "Time is tight, and there are no suitable houses left. However, there is an unused yard. It's a quiet place, but the shed inside has collapsed and it's uninhabitable. I just received a call and found a trailer. The conditions are a bit simple, but at least it can be lived in."
Zhuo Lin nodded. It was already good that he could find the yard and trailer in such a short time. He looked at Chen Qian inquiringly.
Shen Qian said to He Ruize, "It's good enough to have a place to stay. Please take us to have a look."
He Ruize quickly led the way.
Arriving at the place, Shen Qian walked into the yard, which was full of overgrown weeds that had covered the only collapsed shed in the yard. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.
There was a dilapidated trailer parked in the middle of the yard. It was a modified version of an abandoned RV that He Ruize found nearby. The shell was mottled and looked like it would fall apart at any time. He Ruize used tools to knock around the trailer and reinforced some parts with an electric welding gun. Zhuo Lin also helped find two larger color steel tiles and supported them with a bracket to form a sheltered open-air space on the side of the trailer.
Zhuo Lin had to go back to the base to report, so he left first.
After He Ruize reinforced the RV, he found cleaning tools and began to clean diligently. After cleaning, he found a bottle of disinfectant and a rag and began to wipe the inside of the trailer bit by bit.
Seeing how hard he was working, Shen Qian didn't stop him and took his son to the yard to familiarize himself with the environment.
He Ruize finally finished his work and walked over a little awkwardly: "Chen Qian, although the conditions of this trailer are a bit simple, it is already habitable. Why don't you go in and take a look. I... I'll go back first, my brother is still at home."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. He said he wanted to leave, but his legs couldn't move and his eyes were flickering.
Shen Qian called him: "How is your brother now?"
He Ruize's eyes suddenly turned red: "My brother...is not doing well. He started to have a fever yesterday, and today it's even higher. Yesterday I also found a purification-type psychic to help, but the other party just took a look and shook his head, saying that this situation can't be saved. Chen Qian, can you...can you go over and see my brother again? I know I said a lot of bad things about you before, and I don't have the face to ask you to do anything, but...I really have no other way!"
As he spoke, tears kept flowing from He Ruize's eyes, and the seven-foot tall man instantly turned into a tearful man.
Shen Qian stood up and said, "You lead the way, I'll go with you to take a look."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lu Zai'an: "Can you wait for me here?"
The child's big eyes suddenly showed a look of fear. He subconsciously grabbed the hem of Shen Qian's clothes, then seemed to remember something and quickly let go.
Seeing this, Shen Qian took his hand and said, "Then I'll take you there. You just wait for me obediently by the side. Don't make any noise. Can you do that?"
The little zombie was about to nod vigorously, but then he remembered his mother's warning not to use too much force, so he nodded slightly: "Ah!"
So Shen Qian took Lu Zai'an to He Ruize's house.
At this time, He Ruibei was curled up on the bed, breathing heavily, his whole body soaked with sweat.
When Shen Qian approached, he saw that his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and his chest was heaving up and down, as if every breath was causing him great pain.
"Brother..." He Ruize was anxious when he saw that his condition seemed to be worse than when he left.
Shen Qian sat beside the patient and took his pulse.
It was already the fourth day since He Ruibei was infected. The virus had begun to attack his internal organs, and if it continued to develop, it would spread to his bone marrow. The seven-day limit she had given him before was the upper limit. At the moment, it seemed that He Ruibei could hardly hold on for another 24 hours.
If she hadn't upgraded today, she would probably be powerless now even though she had already injected purification power into her son.
However, at this time she was already a third-level purification-type psychic, and the loss just now had actually recovered a lot. Shen Qian placed her hand on He Ruibei's wrist, transmitting pure purification-type psychic power to him.
A magical scene happened. Just after Shen Qian's special ability was input into He Ruibei's body, his breathing became visibly smoother. He was like a person who was about to suffocate and suddenly breathed fresh air. Even his dark complexion gradually returned to normal.
Shen Qian's input of supernatural powers went very smoothly and was completed quickly.
He Ruize hurried over to check on his brother, touched his forehead, and said in great surprise: "My brother's high fever has subsided! Shen Qian... Thank you, thank you so much!"
"Don't be too happy. Relying on purification-type psychics to inject superpowers can only delay his death temporarily. It can't completely cure him. Humanity hasn't found a way to defeat the zombie virus yet. I don't know if this will alleviate his pain or prolong it."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm willing to pay any price to extend my brother's life for one more day and temporarily relieve his pain." He Ruize looked at He Ruibei with an unbearable look on his face: "Look, he's still so young. He shouldn't die so quietly in the end times. I hope he can hold on a little longer. Maybe he'll see a turning point, right?"
Chen Qian didn't respond. After finishing the work, he was about to leave with his son.
When I turned around, I saw Lu Zai'an, who had been very quiet, was actually fiddling with a grass.
Shen Qian took a look and was a little surprised: "This is..."
He Ruize replied, "I've heard before that there's a herb called the Purifying Vine, which is said to have a very good effect on suppressing the zombie virus in infected people. However, I asked around, and no one has ever seen it. Yesterday, the Purification-type psychic was also looking for this plant. He gave me this herb and said that if I could find a Wood-type psychic, maybe I could use it to grow the Purifying Vine... Oh, where can I find it? My brother is in this state now..."
Besides, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Even if we can find a wood-type mutant, we won’t know whether my brother is still alive by the time the pure vine is grown.
Seeing that his son liked it, Shen Qian asked, "Since it's useless for you to hold it, can you give it to me?"
"Okay, of course, take it. I don't need it."
