Chapter 127 Raising Little Zombies in the End of the World 11 Follow the Example
After acupuncture, Lu Zai'an was in good condition. The corpse spots on his neck and the dark, scary blood vessels on his body were no longer visible. His face was even rosy, making him look cuter than ordinary children in the apocalypse.
If it weren't for the occasional strange noises, Shen Qian would even have the illusion that his son was a normal person.
At this time, Lu Zai'an was out on a mission with his mother. He was in a good mood and looked out the car window curiously.
The roads out of the city were damaged everywhere, and vehicles were moving very slowly, stopping and starting all the way.
Chen Qian was worried about what to do if she couldn't get the crystal core today and her son's illness relapsed tonight, but Lu Zai'an looked content.
At this moment, there was a bird on the branch outside the window.
Bird: "Chirp."
Little zombie: "Chi!"
Bird: "Chirp."
Little zombie: "Chirp!"
Bird: "Chirp."
Little zombie: "Chirp!"
Shen Qian laughed out loud at the cute way his son imitated bird calls. It was incredible that a zombie could imitate it so vividly.
"You have a good ability to imitate. Say a few words to me." Shen Qian teased him.
"Mom...well..." Lu Zai'an spoke with difficulty, and finally could only shout out these two words.
"Hey, good boy, that's enough. It's good enough that you can call me mom." Shen Qian smiled and rubbed her son's head.
With a little zombie accompanying him, Shen Qian's journey was not too boring.
After finally arriving at the destination, the pickup truck drove all the way to the outskirts of the experimental field.
This was once an agricultural planting experimental base. Due to the zombie invasion, large areas of trial crops have long been abandoned, and some areas have grown mutated plants due to infected water sources.
The action team has already set up a defense line on the periphery.
"Chen Qian, we're here." Zhuo Lin came over to meet him.
Shen Qian opened the car door and jumped out, nodding at him: "Is the experimental field you mentioned seriously polluted?"
"Currently, we've only confirmed that two fields on the outer periphery are concentrated with mutant plants, and there are still uninfected samples in the innermost layer. The research team needs your special abilities to create a purification channel."
"I understand." Shen Qian opened the back door of the pickup truck and asked her son to stay in the car. "Zai'an, Mom is going to work. Stay here and don't run around."
The little zombie nodded obediently and made an "ang" sound to show his understanding.
Shen Qian confirmed that the car door was locked, put on gloves, and walked towards the mission area.
The fields stretched as far as the eye could see, their once verdant landscape now a hideous, twisted mess. The polluted leaves and branches of the plants were a blend of dark red and gray-purple, their edges sharp as blades, and even slightly wriggling roots poking out of the soil.
Several scientific researchers stood on the periphery and did not dare to enter rashly, as some samples needed to be collected and analyzed as soon as possible.
Shen Qian took a deep breath and walked to the edge of the field. She flipped her hands over, and a white light shone from her palms. She pressed her fingers together like a knife and gently slashed forward, sending her supernatural power ripples across her body.
The air instantly became fresh.
The plants that were originally restless and surging seemed to sense something, and the shaking of their branches and leaves became slow. Several tentacle-like roots that originally stretched toward the researchers were now slowly retracted.
This was the first time that Shen Qian used his purification ability on crops. Although he couldn't change the mutated plants, it seemed that it was easy to slow down the attack power they brought.
Shen Qian took a deep breath, her palms energized, her hands sliding back and forth as if pushing away the filth in the air. A white halo expanded from beneath her feet, spreading along the ridges of the field.
All the mutated plants touched by the light changed color little by little, and eventually the terrifying purple-red turned into withered yellow, as if they had completely lost their vitality.
"It's amazing..." some researchers exclaimed in a low voice.
"Continue to observe whether there are any abnormal movements in the plant roots." Zhuo Lin ordered calmly.
Shen Qian advanced step by step. Each step forward consumed a large amount of his energy, but Shen Qian did not feel it was too strenuous.
Half an hour later, she had cleared out a purification channel about one meter wide, extending to the innermost field.
"The purification-type mutants can stop, we will go into the inner layer to take samples later." The research team leader shouted.
Shen Qian stopped, her mission this time had been completed, and she slowly exhaled.
The researchers cleaned out some seeds that were still usable from the experimental field and prepared to take only a portion away. The action team members came down and helped carry the boxes of seeds.
Shen Qian thought of the mutant plants that He Ruize had mentioned before. Since an expert was present today, she went to ask him about it with a try-it attitude.
"Ah...you mean Jingteng. There is indeed such a mutated plant, but the number is very small and they are all in the laboratory. However, it is said that it has a certain blocking effect on the zombie virus." The expert said as he took out a photo from his mobile phone and sent it to her.
"How can I grow the Pure Vine?"
The expert sighed: "Unless there is a high-level wood-type mutant, there is a certain probability that it can be grown. However, wood-type mutants are hard to find at present. Some have been lost recently due to the zombies' rampage. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them..."
Before getting out of the car, Shen Qian had told Lu Zai'an to stay in the car, and he obeyed obediently. However, his mother didn't tell him not to look outside, so at this moment, his head was leaning against the car window looking here.
He saw his mother using her supernatural powers to purify the experimental field, and his eyes were filled with admiration. At this moment, he listened to the conversation between his mother and the old grandfather, as if he understood it, and his expression became serious.
When Chen Qian returned to the car, Lu Zai'an was still in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Qian asked with a smile when he saw that his son was absorbed in thinking about something.
Lu Zai'an was shaking his head, looking so excited that he was a little delirious.
Forget it, the little zombie also has his own little secrets.
"I know you like to grow plants, so Mom asked for some seeds for you. There are all kinds of vegetables and fruits. Take them home and grow them yourself."
Most of the seeds in the experimental field were useless. The experts only needed a portion of the samples. As for the remaining seeds, Chen Qian randomly collected some seeds that were not contaminated by mutations. To be on the safe side, he purified them before bringing them back.
Sure enough, Lu Zai'an was so happy when he saw these seeds. He had something to do again!
Shen Qian waited in the car for a long time before the team members finally escorted the expert team away.
Today's mission is not difficult, but it has been delayed for too long. Shen Qian can't help but feel worried. He just hopes that Lu Zai'an will not suddenly fall ill tonight.
Before returning home, Shen Qian left his son in the car temporarily and went back to the survival base to take out the belongings at home, check out of the hotel, and buy some food, daily necessities and other supplies. After returning to the car, he took his son back to his home at the resettlement site.
She first took her son to see He Ruibei. Although his condition today was better than yesterday and he had regained consciousness, he looked listless and had a low fever. Shen Qian felt his pulse and injected some purification power into him.
It has to be said that the purification power is quite effective for He Ruibei's symptoms. As soon as the purification power was injected into his body, he felt much better.
The headache and panic symptoms improved a lot, and He Ruibei also struggled to sit up: "Chen Qian...I really troubled you during this period of time."
He said with difficulty.
"Rest assured and recuperate. I'll come see you again when I have time."
Giving He Ruibei superpowers was the bargain between Shen Qian and Zhuo Lin, but this was not a long-term solution after all, and it was unknown how long He Ruibei could hold on.
After returning home, Shen Qian went to cook, while Lu Zai'an squatted under the courtyard wall and stared at the Polygala tenuifolia seedlings planted yesterday.
Just now, his mother stretched out her hand in the experimental field, and those mutated plants retreated as if they had received an order. At that moment, he felt that his mother was so majestic, and he was so envious.
At this time, the little zombie took off his gloves and stretched out his claws towards the seedling.
"Ao!" He wanted his hands to produce that kind of white magic, and make the little seedling obedient like his mother.
However, no matter how he gestured, nothing happened.
"Woo woo..." The little zombie squatted there, extremely anxious. He tried all kinds of methods, but nothing worked. He finally gave up. Perhaps only his mother could have that kind of magic, but he didn't.
Lu Zai'an hung his head. Just then, his mother called him over from the trailer. He stood up and patted the dirt on his body and hands to avoid getting them dirty and getting scolded by his mother.
What he didn't see was that at the moment he patted the soil, a barely detectable light of light green overflowed from his palm and fell on the seedling. The Polygala tenuifolia shook its leaves, as if trying to absorb the supernatural power overflowing from the air.
Lu Zai'an took two steps forward and seemed to have noticed something. He looked back, but the Polygala tenuifolia in the corner seemed to have not changed at all. He was completely discouraged and went to the tow truck to find his mother.
At this time, Chen Qian had already prepared dinner, which was a simple instant noodles, but it was a rare and sumptuous dinner in the end times.
Although her son couldn't actually eat the food, she still called him over and wanted them to share dinner together.
Shen Qian ate noodles while chatting with her son. She found that the little zombie really liked listening to her talk, and he would hum and agree with her no matter what she talked about.
"By the way, was there anyone taking care of you before I found you?" Shen Qian asked, remembering the doubts he had last night.
Lu Zai'an nodded, indicating that someone would take care of him.
Shen Qian was slightly startled, thinking that this was indeed the case, but she did not continue to ask who took care of him, because when she found him, he was alone in the building, and there didn't seem to be anyone around him.
Shen Qian guessed that whoever had taken care of him before was probably in danger. The child couldn't speak and couldn't express his sadness, so she decided not to ask any more questions for the time being.
"Zai'an, it's okay. No matter who took care of you before, your mother will take care of you from now on."
"Angwoo!" the little zombie howled happily.
Of course, Shen Qian would soon realize how outrageous his guess was at this moment.
After Chen Qian finished his meal and washed the dishes, Lu Zai'an took out the seeds he had just brought home from the experimental field from the car and stuffed them into his mother's arms. But fearing that she might not understand, he pointed to the field at the corner of the wall.
Shen Qian laughed and said, "You're really impatient. Okay, okay, let's go plant it now!"
