Chapter 129 Raising Little Zombies in the End of the World 13 Cultivating the Pure Vine
Shen Qian looked at his son with a serious expression. Lu Zai'an also felt that his mother's expression did not look happy at the moment, but rather looked a little angry. He quickly knelt on the bed, as if he was going to take the blame for his father.
Shen Qian asked, "Have you ever seen me before the day I picked you up?"
The little zombie showed an embarrassment on his face. His father had told him not to tell it, but he couldn't lie to his mother either.
Seeing this, Shen Qian added: “If you don’t tell the truth, I will send you to find your father.”
"Ahh!" The little zombie became anxious and kept waving his claws. However, he was afraid of scratching his mother, so he quickly retracted his claws. He was so anxious that he could only pull his own hair.
"If you tell the truth, I will let you stay." Shen Qian added.
Lu Zai'an quickly nodded obediently, his heart filled with guilt towards his father, but he had no choice, the person in front of him was his mother, and he didn't want to be driven away!
Shen Qian nodded in satisfaction: "Before the day I brought you back, you were with your father for the first three days, and then you saw me?"
The little zombie nodded again.
"So, your dad can remotely control zombies? Does he have the ability to control zombies?"
This time Lu Zai'an did not nod. He tilted his head with a puzzled look. What is the ability to control zombies?
Chen Qian understood that this child probably knew nothing. However, even if he didn't know, her guess was pretty close. The original owner's ex-husband was probably also a person with superpowers, and most likely a person with mind control superpowers.
The high-level zombies she had managed to kill several times before were probably the work of her ex-husband. No wonder she was so lucky those days that she was able to level up just by killing a few zombies.
It turned out that the ex-husband didn't want to raise Lu Zai'an anymore, so he gave the child to her to raise so that he could have some free time.
But it was also thanks to his help that she was able to advance to the third level.
Chen Qian originally had no impression of the original owner's ex-husband, but now she recalled some memories of the original owner.
The original owner grew up in a reconstituted family. Her mother had little say in her husband's family, which made her feel very inferior. With her sister Lin Wan, who had the aura of a heroine, the original owner felt even more aggrieved.
The original owner chose to get married, and married a man who was introduced to her by someone she had only met a few times.
At that time, Lu Weiyuan left a good impression on the original owner. He came from a well-off family, was a decent person, and looked good. She had nothing to complain about, so she agreed to his marriage proposal.
Lu Weiyuan chose to get married because his parents urged him to do so, and he just did it to get what he wanted.
The two of them came together with the idea of living together, each with their own purpose, but the original owner couldn't live like this for more than five years.
Without any emotional foundation, the two even had different living habits and common hobbies. They went from sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams, to sleeping in separate beds and rooms, and finally separated and divorced.
I have to say that the original owner did not make a mistake in choosing this ex-husband. Until the divorce, he had always maintained his dignity, assumed the responsibility of raising his son, and gave the original owner a large sum of child support.
With this money, the original owner stocked up some supplies before entering the apocalypse so that he wouldn't live in too much hardship.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian looked at his son in front of him with mixed feelings.
The child was terrified and nervously grabbed at his clothes, poking several holes in the hem.
Chen Qian was both angry and amused: "Alright, stop poking. If you keep poking, the clothes will be ruined and unwearable."
She asked the child to take off his clothes and she took needle and thread to mend the holes.
Then he took the child's pulse again. His meridians were still severely blocked today. Even if the crystal core was fused at this time, the effect would be very limited.
Shen Qian decided to give the child acupuncture first, and then melt the crystal core for him.
"Wuwuji..." Lu Zai'an still felt uneasy. His mother's reaction today was too scary. Would she really not abandon him?
"Okay, don't be afraid. Mom doesn't blame you. I was just mad at your dad for doing these things without telling me. Besides, aren't you angry? He stole your Jingteng!"
The child looked innocent and shook his head to show that he was not angry. It was nothing for his father to take away a little bit of the net vine. If he needed it, he would only hate that he could not give more.
"Hey, you." Shen Qian sighed and rubbed Lu Zai'an's head: "A little zombie, so kind, will be bullied by other zombies when he goes out. Come on, lie down, mom will give you acupuncture."
Lu Zai'an lay down obediently. He thought to himself, he would not be bullied. He had such a powerful father and a mother who loved him. He was not afraid!
During this day's acupuncture, Chen Qian used more of his purification abilities. The child did not react as strongly as before, but instead accepted it well.
Chen Qian could feel that the blocked meridians in Lu Zai'an's body were being unblocked little by little.
When the acupuncture reached the final stage, she integrated a water crystal core into the child's body, used her supernatural powers to help him absorb the energy of the crystal core, and then guided the pure water energy to expand and cleanse the child's meridians.
After he finished absorbing it, Shen Qian placed another wood crystal core on the child's chest.
With the preparations just now, the fusion of this wood crystal core went very smoothly. Shen Qian could feel that the originally weak energy core in Lu Zai'an's body was being activated little by little and really began to function normally.
"Ang ang!"
Lu Zai'an originally didn't intend to make any sound, but at the moment he felt so comfortable that he couldn't help it.
Fortunately, my mother understood what he meant.
"Very comfortable, right? It's comfortable. I have to say your father treats you very well. The purity of this wood crystal core is very high, and it is especially suitable for you."
"Hmm!" Lu Zai'an echoed.
In fact, the five crystal cores sent by the child’s father are of very good quality, and there is even a purification crystal core among them, which seems to be for her.
While the child was resting, Shen Qian also integrated this purification crystal core. She has now been upgraded to the third level. With this crystal core, although she has not yet reached the level of further upgrading, she feels more confident about the supernatural powers in her body.
"Okay, let's go out and try again to see if you can make the Jingteng grow again."
At this time, Lu Zai'an also felt that he had endless energy in his body. He had tried to imitate his mother's movements before but failed. At this time, he came to the Jingteng seedlings in the yard, and placed his hand gently on the Jingteng without any instruction, and then focused all his attention on his fingers.
A magical scene happened. A stream of bright green light slowly flowed out from his fingers. The moment the green light touched the Jingteng, the remaining branches and leaves on the main vine of the Jingteng actually trembled and actively moved towards his fingers, as if greedily absorbing this wood energy.
"Huh?" The little zombie thought this scene was so magical. He was excited but didn't dare to move. He looked at his mother and asked with his eyes why this happened.
"Plants can sense your superpowers, which are quite necessary for them, so they actively come to you."
What was different from yesterday was that today, after absorbing the wood-type ability from Lu Zai'an, Jing Teng started to grow directly without any delay.
From twenty to thirty centimeters, it grew to more than fifty centimeters in the blink of an eye, and then the growth rate gradually slowed down, but it never stopped. The shiny vines gradually branched out into more branches, and then many leaves with slightly curled edges grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If it continues to grow at this rate, Chen Qian suspects that this pure vine will soon be able to grow a wood crystal core.
It seems that my son's wood-related ability is very useful. I can plant more plants in the yard, especially some plants with medicinal value. Those plants have the most spiritual energy and are most likely to grow wood-related crystal cores after absorbing my son's wood-related ability.
If there is a constant supply of wood crystal cores, I won’t have to worry even if my son gets sick in the future.
But right now, there is one more thing to do.
Shen Qian put on gloves and cut off some branches and leaves of the vine with a short-bladed knife. She wanted to try it immediately to see if this thing was really effective against the zombie virus in He Ruibei's body.
If it were any other world, Chen Qian would definitely use the ancient method of making medicine, making this mutated Jingteng into pills and then giving them to the patient.
This is the end of the world, and many materials are hard to find. Chen Qian didn't want to bother with that, so he just asked He Ruibei to chew and eat the Jingteng raw.
Because his younger brother was seriously injured, He Ruize did not go out on any missions during this period and stayed by his younger brother's side.
At this moment, he watched from the side and sweated: "Chen Qian, will this work?"
"We won't know if it works until we try." Shen Qian was not completely unsure, but facing the patient's family, Shen Qian still gave a conservative answer.
After all, even if the Jingteng is effective, Chen Qian has no idea what percentage of its medicinal effect can be exerted if it is chewed raw.
He Ruibei cooperated. He had no more choices at this time. Today was the eighth day since he was infected with the zombie virus. According to Shen Qian's previous prediction, he would not have survived to this day. However, Shen Qian had been injecting purification energy into him these days, which saved his life.
"Ruibei...how do you feel?" He Ruize's heart tightened.
The taste of Jingteng is extremely bitter and difficult to swallow, but He Ruibei still tried his best to chew it and swallow it.
Lu Zai'an also came today. He was sitting obediently on a small bench in the corner of the room, keeping quiet. He was staring at the patient lying on the bed.
This was not the first time Lu Zai'an came here, but today was different. The patient swallowed the pure vine that he planted with his own hands, and he really wanted to witness this moment.
Of course, his mother only agreed to bring him here after he repeatedly assured her at home that he would not make any strange noises.
At this time, the three people in the room were staring at He Ruibei's reaction after eating the Jingteng with extreme nervousness.
He Ruibei was not feeling well at this moment. He felt an unbearable chill in his body.
Due to the invasion of the zombie virus, he has been running a high fever during this period. Even if Shen Qian gave him the purification power, it would only be effective for half a day at most. After a period of time, his body temperature would rise little by little until it got out of control.
But at this time, the coolness brought by the mutated herbs was not the coolness of lowering body temperature, but a kind of discomfort that made him feel as if his internal organs were being scraped by ice knives.
"Ugh..." He Ruibei still couldn't hold back the pain and made a sound.
