Chapter 133 Raising Little Zombies in the End of the World 17 Mutated Impatiens
When Shen Qian was enjoying the tender moment, He Ruize's voice rang out from outside the yard: "Shen Qian, are you home?"
She heard the sound and went out.
He Ruize said a little embarrassedly, "Look, there's a couple living next door to me. The woman was scratched by a mutant bird a while ago. I thought it was just a normal injury, but it turned out to be infected. From what I can see now... well, I think she's also infected with the virus. I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the man ran into my brother before and helped to keep it secret. He's done us brothers a favor, so I wanted to ask... if I could help them too?"
He was really embarrassed to say this. After all, he and his brothers had already repaid the favors they owed, and now he was bothering others on their behalf.
Jingteng is rare and precious. If Chen Qian agrees to help the other party, he may also need to use Jingteng. What if he saves that woman and his brother’s medicine is not enough?
However, He Ruize is not the type of person who would just watch someone in need without helping. Besides, the man not only saw him at the time, but also sent some medicine and fever-reducing patches, hoping that it would be helpful to his brother.
He really couldn't bear to see such a good person suffer, so he could only come to ask Shen Qian if he could save him.
"Chen Qian, I don't have anything else to repay you with. Last time, you told me your son has wood-type abilities. If I can get any wood-type crystal cores in the future, I'll give them to you. Just consider it as something I personally owe you. Is that okay?"
Chen Qian has not participated in the Dawn Action Team's missions recently and has not used his superpowers for a while. If he wants to improve, in addition to absorbing as many purification crystal cores as possible, using his superpowers more often will also help.
Being at the resettlement site, Shen Qian knew that many people here were infected with the virus. After moving in, people nearby came and went. Some may have found a way to enter the survival base, some may have left S City and gone elsewhere, and many more people, like the vast majority of survivors of the apocalypse, could not continue to survive.
Shen Qian was too lazy to care about others, but since He Ruize came to her, it was a piece of cake for her, so she agreed.
Lu Zai'an was having a lot of fun playing with stationery at home, but when he heard that she was going out, he still wanted to follow her, so Shen Qian let him go with her.
The injured woman is 30 years old, an ordinary person. She has basically no ability to protect herself after entering the end of the world. Her husband has never left her and has been protecting her until now.
"It's my fault. If I had been more alert, she wouldn't have gotten hurt." The man said in frustration.
He Ruize comforted him, "It's not your fault. This resettlement site wasn't patrolled by anyone, and no one expected the mutant animals to suddenly attack. This was an accident."
Shen Qian took the woman's pulse. She was lucky. She was only scratched and had a small wound. As the wound didn't last long, it wasn't difficult to save her.
Shen Qian used the same method he used to rescue He Ruibei before, giving the woman acupuncture and supplementing it with purification abilities. He then gave her an appropriate amount of Jingteng and told her to take it on time for three consecutive days.
"Chen Qian, can you tell me the truth, my wife...how long can she hold on?"
When sending Shen Qian away, the man asked with red eyes: "I... want to know, what else can I do."
In his opinion, if someone is scratched by a mutant animal, no matter how minor the wound is, she will be infected with the virus and will not be able to survive. After a while, she will also become a zombie and lose her life completely.
Chen Qian said, "You don't have to do anything. As long as your wife follows my instructions and eats the Jingteng, she will be fine. In fact, the acupuncture just now has already removed the poison from her body, but she has been injured for a while, and I can't be sure that the virus in her body has been completely purified. So eating Jingteng for three days is just to consolidate it. Don't worry, she won't die."
The man was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly. He took out a few more crystal cores. Shen Qian only took a water-type one and left. The others were useless to her.
For her, this was just a piece of cake.
He Ruize sighed at the side: "I'm so envious. It would be great if my brother could be cured so easily."
Shen Qian: "Your brother's situation is different. His wounds were advanced because he was injured by a mutant zombie. I had just reached level two at that time and my abilities were limited. If it were now, I guess the situation would be better."
He Ruize was afraid that she would get suspicious, so he quickly said, "It's a miracle that my brother is still alive. I didn't expect too much."
Since he was out, Shen Qian also took the opportunity to take a look at He Ruibei. He was now able to get out of bed. Although his strength had not fully recovered and he still looked haggard, he was much better than before.
Shen Qian felt his pulse and said, "I'll give you another acupuncture today, and give you another seven days of Jingteng. You still have to take it every day as usual. Now with my ability, I can only try my best to help you regulate your body. Although I can't cure you, I can at least maintain the current situation."
He Ruibei glanced at his brother, and there was a look of surprise in both of their eyes.
In fact, none of them had expected that a person who was seriously injured by zombies could survive until now and be in good condition. Some people even dared to say that he could stay alive in this condition.
After hearing this, He Ruibei warned himself not to have too much hope, because every day he lived was a gain.
"Then I'll trouble you."
During the entire process of Shen Qian's diagnosis and treatment, Lu Zai'an sat obediently beside him and watched quietly.
Today, my mother went out to save people again, and used the plants he grew as medicinal materials, which made Lu Zai'an feel that he was very useful.
He secretly made up his mind to learn to read and write well, and then grow more plants.
From that day on, somehow, the news that there was a miracle doctor who could cure patients in the resettlement site spread quietly.
The families of several other people who were also injured and infected quietly knocked on Shen Qian's door and begged her desperately, hoping that she could lend a helping hand.
Shen Qian would first assess that if the other party's injuries were not serious and the condition did not last long, she would still take action if possible, but on the condition that she would not announce to the public that she was the one who cured him.
Continuously using the evolutionary abilities within his body, coupled with the purification crystal core sent by Lu Weiyuan, allowed Shen Qian to finally break through the upgrade threshold again and reach the fourth level.
This made Shen Qian very happy. You know, it might not be possible to find a second fourth-level purification-type mutant in the entire S city.
The reason why upgrading is so important to Shen Qian at this stage is that the first three levels of the purification ability are all physical, and from the fourth level onwards, her ability begins to expand to mental power.
In other words, after upgrading, Shen Qian can release spiritual purification power within a radius of ten meters around him, which can have a significant weakening effect on mid- and high-level mutant zombies within this range.
And it is not only effective against zombies, but also against people controlled by psychics.
In addition, there is another very useful thing about upgrading to the fourth level, which is the ability to purify land and water in large quantities over a large area. Although this function is not needed for the time being, it will be very useful in case you need to camp outside the resettlement site.
However, Shen Qian was not satisfied with this. The increasing number of mutated animals made her worried. According to her previous experience of surviving in the apocalypse, if no measures were taken, the people in the resettlement site, including herself, would soon be in danger.
Among the mutated birds, high-level mutated raptors will gradually evolve. The attack power of this mutated animal is quite strong. She has the evolutionary ability to weaken the opponent's ability, but she has to go out normally and it is impossible for her to stay at home 24 hours a day. She doesn't want to go out and come back to find that her home is gone.
In order to find a solution, although Shen Qian no longer lacks various supplies and crystal cores, he still participates in various operations of the Dawn Action Team.
Of course, every time she took action, she drove a pickup truck and took Lu Zai'an with her.
Due to the increase in the number of mutant animals, it also poses a considerable threat to the various action teams in S City, and each action team has suffered considerable casualties.
Of course, the army did not sit idly by and sent a number of high-level psychics to accompany the action team to carry out the mission.
Xu Yingshuang was very excited about this. She suddenly found that her position in the team was becoming important.
The high-level psychics sent by the army attach great importance to the psychics who can heal in the team. Xu Yingshuang, as a second-level healing psychic, was the first to be listed as a key target of attention.
Except for the period when she first joined the team, Xu Yingshuang had never enjoyed such treatment as the center of attention. Even her best friend Lin Wan was outshined by her, which made her very happy.
For this reason, Xu Yingshuang also tried her best to win the favor of these high-level psychics, and stayed close to them and offered active service all day long.
Chen Qian was different. She had never liked being in the spotlight, and now that she was on a mission with her son, she had to be even more low-key.
Xu Yingshuang was only interested in pleasing the higher-ups, so Shen Qian was happy to just help with the treatment of the lower-level team members.
High-level psychics usually don't get hurt when facing mutant animals, so Xu Yingshuang's job is very easy, while ordinary team members don't feel any pain, for them being scratched by a mutant animal is a big deal.
Fortunately, Chen Qian was there. She carried silver needles and purifying vines with her, so even if someone was injured, her medical skills were enough to handle it.
The team members are now very nice to Chen Qian, and they quickly help her find what she wants.
"Chen Qian, look, this is a plant I found by the river. Is it the kind you want?"
Shen Qian picked it up and took a look. Although this was not the plant she was looking for, it had the same effect.
"Yes! This is Impatiens, but it would be even better if you could help me find a Squirting Melon."
"Okay, let's look for it again."
After returning to the resettlement site that day, Chen Qian brought the extremely curious Lu Zai'an to the yard.
"Son, there's only one Impatiens plant here. I need you to grow a mutant of it, collect its seeds, and then plant a row of them near the wall. Do you understand?"
Lu Zai'an nodded obediently, his eyes fixed on the Impatiens.
Although he didn't understand why his mother was looking for this plant everywhere, since his mother liked it, he had to plant this flower all over the yard.
Lu Zai'an first planted the wilted Impatiens flower he brought back from the wild in the corner of the wall, sprinkled some purified water on it, and then slowly approached it with his fingers.
A faint fluorescent green color poured out from Lu Zai'an's fingers and flowed into the top of the plant.
The plant sensed the strange power and began to wriggle slowly. After a while, the leaves of the Impatiens plant became wider, and tiny serrations appeared on the edges of the leaves. The original light green color gradually turned into dark green, and even had a hint of dark red.
Then, the flower stem of the plant began to swell, and after a while, the fruit also began to grow rapidly. The fruit pod, which was originally only the size of a grain of rice, now swelled into the size of a quail egg.
Lu Zai'an seemed to have sensed something and quickly stood up and ran towards the trailer. The Impatiens seemed to have its own consciousness and waited until the little zombie in front of it ran into the trailer. Then, with a "bang", a fruit sac finally exploded.
At this time, Shen Qian, who was standing in the trailer, was staring at this scene in amazement. The fruits in the Impatiens fruit capsules, with black liquid, shot out like bullets, and as if their directions were controlled, they all drilled into the nearby soil.
