Chapter 27 A Sharp Tongue but a Soft Heart
The hospital was indeed teeming with zombies.
As soon as Ling Ran and Liu Xiuping stepped inside, the zombies seemed to have been turned on, and they all pounced on them.
Unfortunately, due to the resistance of the water, their movements appeared clumsy.
As Ling Ran wielded her sword to kill zombies, she caught a glimpse of Liu Xiuping's envious and admiring gaze out of the corner of her eye: "Why don't you give it a try?"
"ah?"
"God said, I need a light steel knife that can cut down zombies."
The next second, a steel knife appeared out of thin air and was handed to Liu Xiuping. She was slightly confused: "Sir?"
"This is the end of the world. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. I won't protect you forever," Ling Ran said cruelly, stating the harsh reality.
The zombies in the hospital were ugly because the outbreak there was more severe, with all the biting incidents. In addition, because they had been soaking in water for the past few days, their bodies were swollen and looked like rotting corpses that had been soaked in water.
Liu Xiuping took the steel knife and stood up, suppressing her urge to vomit.
There was a zombie that had "escaped" the net. Its upper and lower lips were gone, revealing teeth that were a mixture of blood and green. Half of its nose was missing, and its left eye, which was grayish-white and had no pupil, was covered by a large patch of blood, with many white maggots wriggling on it.
Due to the mutations caused by the apocalypse, these maggots are generally larger than before the apocalypse. They open their mouths and bite at the rotting flesh next to the zombies, wandering in the meat filling.
The stench was like that of rotten eggs that had been spoiled for a long time, pungent and nauseating. Even after so long in the apocalypse, Liu Xiuping still couldn't stand the smell and had been forcibly suppressing it.
As the zombies drew closer, the stench assaulted her senses, making it nearly impossible for her to move.
Just then, a faint voice came from the side: "Slice the head in half like you're slicing a watermelon. If you don't have enough strength, just cut the head off and then slice it in half again."
"ah!"
Liu Xiuping couldn't help but scream. She gripped the steel knife tightly with both hands and cleaved the zombie's face in two.
With this strike, she used all her strength and actually split the zombie's head in two, revealing the crystal core inside.
Liu Xiuping's eyes lit up. Ignoring her own feeling of wanting to kill someone, she reached out and took the crystal core into her hand.
"Thump—"
The zombie's body fell into the water.
Looking at the beautiful crystal core in her hand, Liu Xiuping's eyes welled up with tears. She wiped the crystal core on her body and reverently handed it to Ling Ran: "My lord, here you go!"
"No need." Ling Ran glanced at it with disdain. The crystal core hadn't been wiped clean; in fact, it was even dirtier after being wiped on dirty clothes.
"My lord, I..."
"The doomsday crystal core is more valuable than gold, you can keep it for yourself."
"My lord, you..."
Liu Xiuping's eyes reddened again.
So this is what a good person adults are.
How could she have thought the adults weren't good people? She was just not good with words, she just hated evil, and she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Ling Ran, receiving a grateful look from the person in front of her: "???"
I don't really understand the thoughts of these ordinary people.
With Ling Ran leading the way, occasionally letting one or two extremely gruesome zombies come over for Liu Xiuping to kill, Liu Xiuping went from initially being unable to resist feeling physically nauseous to being able to face these ugly zombies directly, and cleanly and efficiently wielding a steel knife like slicing a watermelon, splitting the zombie's head in two.
She was originally a chef, so she had enough strength. In addition, Ling Ran's steel knife was very sharp, so the combination was greater than the sum of its parts. She gradually became more and more adept at dealing with zombies.
