It took only twenty minutes for Lin Cheng to cross the ocean on the enlarged tube. After becoming the zombie queen, she and her colleague developed an invisible connection. They didn't need to look for a place and could run towards each other accurately.
Lin Man saw the lair of the legendary Goddess of Childbirth, a church on the top of a mountain. People were performing rituals inside and outside the church that she couldn't understand, as if they were worshiping. In a valley not far from the church, many zombies were wandering.
Suddenly, someone came out of the church. Surrounded by a group of people was a white-skinned foreign man with gray hair, and next to him was Lin Zhongrong.
Guan Guan was still in a hazy spiritual state. As soon as it landed, it dissipated and flew away to explore this new place it had never been to. So in the eyes of everyone, Lin Man and Lin Cheng were just stepping on a vague bird-shaped thing and falling from the sky. This way of appearance was quite intimidating.
It made a group of foreigners look at him as if he was looking at a monster.
The gray-haired man was even more alert. He and Lin Cheng could sense each other and knew they were of the same kind. However, besides the zombie aura on Lin Cheng's body, there was another stronger aura, mysterious and frightening.
"Xiao Man, Lin Cheng!" Lin Zhongrong shouted, and the people around him were even more stunned. Lin Man smiled at Lin Zhongrong and walked over to him: "Dad."
Lin Zhongrong held her arm: "Come here, this is..."
"It's done." Lin Man said with a smile, and turned to look at Lin Cheng. He and the gray-haired man had already reached out and shook hands.
Lin Cheng: "Hello."
The gray-haired man's expression visibly changed several times before he smiled a gentlemanly smile. "Your Chinese nation truly surprised me. You truly deserve to be called the most mysterious and ancient nation."
Lin Cheng: "Thank you very much for your help over the past few years."
"We're all friends."
Lin Man felt the smile on the gray-haired man's face, and he didn't know what to curse. It was indeed true. If this zombie king had known that a similar one would appear in China, he wouldn't have waited so long and would have found a way to kill him long ago. He wondered why the Chinese were so honest. It turned out that they were buying time to cultivate a zombie king.
This always elegant man who claimed to be like God experienced for the first time what it felt like to vomit blood.
All plans came to nothing, and all threats became a joke.
As for the zombies behind him, although they already had an appearance almost the same as humans, they were still one step away from being the "Zombie King". Facing Lin Cheng, each of them had a stiff body, and if you looked closely, they were trembling.
Ordinary humans cannot feel it, but as zombies, they clearly feel how strong the pressure from Lin Cheng is, making them want to bow down and obey his orders, as if a true king has descended.
At the same time, the gray-haired man and Lin Cheng were sizing each other up. Then Lin Cheng said to Lin Zhongrong, "Sir, can we go now?"
Lin Zhongrong received the message and nodded: "Let's go." He didn't waste time talking to the zombie king. This guy almost stretched out his claws to catch him not long ago. They were not the same kind of people. Now that he had the confidence, there was no need for him to be hypocritically polite.
He brought his men to Lin Cheng's side. The gray-haired man invited Lin Cheng to stay as a guest, but Lin Cheng refused and left with Lin Zhongrong and the others. This time, no one or zombie dared to stop them, and the group of people left the lair of these foreigners and foreign zombies so carefree.
The base was some distance away from here, and it took half an hour to get there. More than 1,500 people were guarding their means of transport, waiting for news. When they saw Lin Zhongrong and his party coming back, the zombie king was nowhere to be seen. Instead, they saw two people who shouldn't be here, and they were all very surprised.
Lin Zhongrong and Lin Cheng went to talk alone. After a while, they asked people to line up in order to receive treatment.
Everyone was very confused. They didn’t see the Zombie King, so how could they treat him?
Then they soon found out that the person who treated them this time was Lin Cheng.
A temporary tent was set up, and Lin Cheng sat inside, holding the arm of an infected person. After more than ten minutes, gray-black blood began to flow from the person's separated fingers, leaving about half a bowl of blood. Until the blood turned red, Lin Cheng let go of the person and nodded to signal the next one.
The other party felt strange about this treatment method. He also felt as if something was being pulled out of his body. He felt relaxed all over. He looked dazed and said, "Is it all right now?"
"Well, the zombie virus is in this black blood. You are already cured."
"Okay...what does that mean?"
Lin Man watched the whole thing from the side and now explained: "That is to say, there is basically no virus in your body anymore, and you are no longer infected."
The man opened his mouth wide, seemingly unable to react, and was pulled out.
Lin Man looked at the dark grey blood in the bucket and felt an instinctive disgust: "Is this a virus?"
"Viruses, toxins, they're all the same thing. They're all the same thing, turning people into zombies." Lin Cheng clenched his hands slightly, squeezing a ball of gray-black mist into a ping-pong ball. He had extracted this substance from the infected person, so Lin Man couldn't see it. After signing the contract with Guan Guan, he became more sensitive to all kinds of energy in the world, especially spiritual energy and the gray-black energy found in zombies.
So, from a biological point of view, the zombie bodies are full of zombie viruses, and toxins can be extracted from a chemical point of view, but in his eyes, they are just a bunch of stubborn and bad energy that is completely opposite to spiritual energy.
This energy destructively transformed his body, and after surviving the transformation, he gained the ability to control this energy. Therefore, he could easily extract this weak energy that had been suppressed and unable to develop in the body of the infected person. In the eyes of ordinary people, a more concrete manifestation was the flow of a pool of black blood.
Lin Cheng's explanation sounded quite mysterious to Lin Man, but she just knew that the result was that those infected would be free from this deadly virus forever.
Lin Cheng could only cure four or five people in an hour, which was too slow, but the news that the virus was completely eradicated was still exciting enough. No one complained about the long waiting time. Although some people expressed doubts about this, no one dared to say anything, because the person who followed Lin Zhongrong to negotiate with the zombie king said that the zombie king had about to have an attack, but suddenly stopped. Then, more than 20 minutes later, Lin Cheng came and easily brought them out safely. The zombie king looked unwilling, but could only watch, as if he was very afraid of Lin Cheng.
People were speculating about where Lin Cheng had been during the five years he was missing, and how he could subdue a zombie king as soon as he appeared. Some even speculated that Lin Cheng had also become a zombie king.
Suddenly a person walked into the tent. Lin Cheng looked up and saw that it was Fan Xuan.
Fan Xuan is no different from what he was five years ago. After all, he eats and drinks well in the Peace Base. If I have to say something, it's because he has a □□ on his body, which makes him think too much and worry too much, so the wrinkles on his forehead are a little deeper.
He looked at Lin Cheng with a complicated expression: "You, are you the Zombie King now?"
While treating him, Lin Cheng said, "Actually, I don't really like this title. You can think of me as having successfully evolved and regained my human identity."
This was an admission. Fan Xuan felt a little ashamed and puzzled: "You suddenly disappeared that year because you were also infected... The reason for the infection was related to the zombie king in City Si. We thought..." He thought that Lin Cheng was the only one among the four captains who was not in trouble. He was worried about being blamed, so he found a reason to disappear. When his mentality was most broken, he was secretly jealous and unwilling to accept it. He thought that everyone was the same. Why was he infected with this horrible thing, but Lin Cheng was not hurt at all.
But looking back, although he was infected with the virus, the virus had been suppressed for five years because of timely treatment. He did not feel any pain at all. He even turned a disaster into a blessing and joined the Peace Base, living a good life that he had not had since the end of the world. Except for occasional discrimination and strange looks, he could not have children like others because he was worried that the virus would be inherited.
Since Lin Cheng had become the Zombie King… no, he had successfully evolved. He definitely hadn't received treatment, but had been allowed to develop naturally. Therefore, he must have been in a zombie state for the past five years he was missing…
Fan Xuan thought he had figured it out, sighed, and said ashamedly: "I'm not as good as you."
Lin Cheng extracted the dull gray-black energy from his body, glanced at him and said, "You are not as good as me. You are not as lucky as me."
If he didn't have Lin Man, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Either they have already died, or have become zombies, or like all infected people, they have to rely on others to take their lives year after year.
But now, he can sit here, calm and detached, as the person who decides the life and death of others.
…
There are more than 500 infected people. Even if Lin Cheng works non-stop, it will take four or five days to deal with them all. They don't plan to stay in someone else's territory all the time.
After treating dozens of people, proving their abilities, and calming the hearts of the infected, they decided to return home. Before leaving, Lin Cheng went to talk to the Goddess of Childbirth. The two sides reached a consensus that each would be responsible for the development of their own region in the future, and China would not interfere here. They should not even think of crossing the ocean to attack China.
Lin Zhongrong, Lin Cheng, and Lin Man came to this decision after a joint discussion. They had to kill the Zombie King. It was not impossible, but he was no pushover. He had so many people and zombies under his command. While Lin Cheng could certainly contain him, Lin Cheng himself would definitely not have it easy. In Lin Man's words, Lin Cheng had endured for so many years and finally achieved his goal. How could he sacrifice everything for a Zombie King?
Therefore, both parties reached a consensus not to interfere with each other and not to have any contact with each other.
She had also investigated and, based on some information provided by Lin Zhongrong, found that there were four to five million people scattered across this land. When the first pregnant woman appeared in Dayan Mountain, people here also began to give birth. And because of the power of the Goddess of Childbirth, this area started to have a large population and began to give birth.
However, due to the limited supplies and living conditions here, and the lack of spiritual nourishment, the pregnant women and children here are like those from Dayan Mountain. They are completely different in every aspect, with malnutrition, deformities, various illnesses, and too many problems.
So, while the birth rate is much higher than China's, the quality is limited, and the infant mortality rate is alarmingly high. Even those with good talents are picked off early and turned into zombies. Meanwhile, although China has only had a few hundred thousand newborns in recent years, each one has a healthy constitution, a bright mind, and receives a good education from a young age, ensuring a healthy and well-developed future.
Ten or twenty years later, when these children are gradually able to support themselves, the situation on both sides will definitely be very different.
So, even if this place is ruled by a zombie king, so what? As long as we can suppress the zombie king at the level of a nuclear weapon, nothing else will be a problem. If that doesn't work, well, they can always come and launch a sneak attack. Such a large pipe, coming and going without a trace, and moving very quickly, it would be a waste to use it, there is no need to confront it head-on.
So after Lin Cheng talked with the other zombie king, everyone set off to return home. On the plane, Lin Cheng also detoxified the infected people.
After returning to the Peace Base, we worked hard for several days and finally dealt with all the infected people before the end of the one-year period.
Lin Cheng also returned to people's attention. Lin Zhongrong asked him if he wanted to return to the Reunion Base and take over everything from him. Lin Cheng refused without hesitation, and registered his household registration in the Peace Base, officially becoming a member of the Peace Base. After Lin Man knew about it, he directly parachuted him into the position of vice president of the management committee. It happened that Zhuang Xuzhi had wanted to retire for a long time, and he was just the right person to take over.
The Peace Base now has a relatively clear social structure and industrial division of labor, but the Management Committee still exists, commanding all administrative departments and being the unit with the highest authority in the Peace Base.
As for why he was the vice president, it was because the president and chief was Lin Man. Yes, times were progressing, and Lin Man felt that calling him chief was too old-fashioned. So after returning to China, she pondered and finally came up with the title of chief for herself. By arranging Lin Cheng, she also changed her own title.
She lived a leisurely life. Of course, it would have been even better if her father hadn't been looking at her with strange eyes as if she were a thief who was trying to steal someone else's job because of the loss of an heir.
Lin Zhongrong and Chen Yu were finally back together. There was no ceremony, just a table of wine with acquaintances. Lin Zhongrong had spent ten of the twelve months of the previous year at the Peace Base, and now he was even more reluctant to return to the Reunion Base. Seeing his wife and daughter there, and even his potential successor there, he felt completely out of place as a "Reunion Base native." So, he handed over everything he had to Han Yeqing and prepared to leave the Reunion Base completely.
Many of his subordinates noticed this and expressed their willingness to follow their leader through thick and thin, and to go wherever he went. Translated, this means that he wanted to leave them behind to enjoy himself alone, which was impossible.
Thus, Han Yeqing finally bypassed Lin Cheng and gained Lin Zhongrong's approval, becoming his successor. However, he felt empty inside. He had obtained what others dreamed of, yet it felt like he had been abandoned. Standing in the once glorious United Front Work Department, he always felt a sense of desolation, a sense of desertion and the changing times.
Not to mention what was happening at Lin Zhongrong and the Tuanyuan Base, Lin Man was truly happy now because she had a formidable deputy, Lin Cheng. She didn't have to do anything or worry about anything every day. Seeing her daughter eating and drinking without a care in the world every day, Chen Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked her one day, "Xiao Man, what do you think about the future?"
