Although Shen Wangshu is also a superhuman, she can only be considered a support staff, while Nan Lan is the main force in combat.
It burned fiercely, like an inextinguishable flame, illuminating the hearts of many.
"My Lanlan is not only good at fighting zombies, but she is also very filial and kind," Ning's mother said with a smile.
She always felt that Song Lei was a good marriage prospect.
Under the expectant gazes of Ning's parents, Song Lei nodded quickly, keeping his expression in sync with Nan Lan's throughout.
They all had blank expressions.
“Heh…” Ah Xuan let out a hoarse laugh from the side.
Nan Lan remained expressionless, but she had already begun to create a flame in her hand.
"Shut up and eat." Shen Wangshu stuffed a bite of steamed fish into his mouth. After all, this zombie could even digest crystal cores, so eating a little fish wouldn't be a big deal. However, she felt the zombie's aggrieved expression almost materialize on her face through his sunglasses, and she immediately covered her face in helplessness.
She had to reach out and gently touch his face to comfort him. He leaned in and kissed her, finally cheering the zombie up again. She told him to tug at his clothes under the table, and after eating a couple of bites, she asked Song Lei, "Is there a mission we need to undertake?"
Song Lei isn't the kind of person who comes to freeload at any time.
Song Lei's gaze lingered on a plate of sugared tomatoes on the table for a moment before he nodded, a serious expression on his face.
“There are more and more people in the base, and with more people, more people get sick.” Seeing the look of surprise on Ning’s father’s face, he quickly reassured him, “It’s not a zombie virus, but all sorts of common diseases.” Seeing that Ning’s father was relieved, he held back for a while, but still couldn’t resist picking up a piece of fresh, juicy tomato and stuffing it into his mouth.
He bit into the sweet and sour fruit, which was juicy and hadn't eaten fruit in a long time. He couldn't take his eyes off tomatoes, which he used to look at without even glancing at them. He kept a straight face and, with a serious expression, subtly picked up another piece and put it in his bowl before continuing, "The base has enough doctors, but there's a shortage of medicine. Some people are also very sick and need some medical equipment, which the base doesn't have."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes.
Shen Wangshu immediately understood.
"Are you going to a hospital in the city?" she asked, frowning.
When the base was first established, they dared not build it in a densely populated first-tier city, otherwise a zombie horde would destroy the entire base.
The base is located in the middle of several third-tier cities. Because the population is small, the pressure from zombies is much less. The cities that are usually searched are just these few small cities.
However, the medical conditions in small cities are obviously not comparable to those in big cities. Shen Wangshu keenly sensed that Song Lei was probably going to a big city this time. Big cities have more abundant medicines and medical equipment, but the dangers are also much greater. In this apocalyptic world where high-level zombies have emerged in this small city, it's easy to imagine how dangerous big cities would be.
Therefore, both Shen Wangshu and Nan Lan's expressions became serious.
"If possible, we'd like to go and take a look." These small cities don't even have the equipment needed for a simple operating table, Song Lei said through gritted teeth.
He could hardly bear to look at Ning's father and mother, who had gasped in shock.
"If possible, Brother Xuan, could you..." Song Lei took Xuan's swift and decisive action in eliminating the zombies, as well as his effortless movement among them, very seriously.
Although Ah Xuan was trying his best to hide it, he had already discovered that the zombies seemed to be afraid of Ah Xuan, and would even unconsciously back away when he appeared.
Zombies are swarming in the big city, and Song Lei hopes to use Ah Xuan's abilities.
In his view, Ah Xuan's ability might be the superpower he possesses.
Ah Xuan doesn't acknowledge his special ability, probably because he's worried that people will value it and treat him like a suicide squad member.
Shen Wangshu was grateful for Song Lei's imagination, which explained Ah Xuan's strangeness with science, but at this moment he remained silent with a sullen face.
"No," she said coldly, her eyes lowered.
"What?" Song Lei looked at her in shock.
He never imagined that Ning Rou, who was said to have the most compassionate heart by word of mouth among the survivors, would so resolutely refuse to help them.
His lips twitched, and seeing Ah Xuan turn her head to look quietly at Shen Wangshu, he knew that she was the one in charge. If she agreed, Ah Xuan would definitely go with him to search for supplies. If Shen Wangshu disagreed, Ah Xuan would never step out of this courtyard. He put down his chopsticks, disregarding the tomatoes he was eating, and frowned, saying, "Miss Ning, this is for all the survivors, for the lives of many people."
"So what?" Shen Wangshu's retort was extremely cold-hearted.
She stopped smiling, and looking at Song Lei, her gentle, delicate face turned cold.
"So what?" Song Lei was almost so angry at the question that he stood up.
“Those are human lives! So many human lives!” he shouted in a low voice, breaking the silence.
"Isn't my Ah Xuan's life also a life?" Shen Wangshu looked at the astonished Song Lei with a sneer and said softly, "Medical equipment and medicine, why can't we search for them in smaller cities? This is the apocalypse, what can't we make do with? Why do we have to use the best and most advanced? In previous years, those doctors didn't have the best equipment, yet they could still perform the best surgeries. They knew it was a dead end, yet you were throwing lives into it. Not just Ah Xuan's, but many more people's." She said calmly, "Aren't those who went to search for medicine also lives? If it's a matter of life and death, and those medical equipment are indispensable, I won't say anything. But this kind of pretentiousness, I cannot agree to."
If going to a big city was the only option, Shen Wangshu might consider it, but look at what Song Lei is saying.
They don't value the medical equipment in small towns, so they go to big cities to die.
Is this a medical condition?
"What do you think, Brother Xuan?" Song Lei closed his eyes, somewhat disappointed.
He came from a military background and was used to giving orders and putting civilians first. He never imagined that there would be someone like Shen Wangshu who only thought about himself.
But what he understood even more was that these people were not military personnel, and had no obligation to go to their deaths with him.
He looked at Ah Xuan with some anticipation.
Doesn't a man feel uncomfortable when a woman makes decisions for him?
“No… I’m not going!” Ah Xuan answered his expectation in a hoarse voice, showing no shame at being dominated by a woman.
On the contrary, the zombie's handsome face, mostly hidden by sunglasses, revealed a smug expression.
"It breaks my heart!" He pointed to Song Lei, whose face had suddenly contorted in pain. Although his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, it was incredibly fluent.
"Go ahead and be jealous!" the zombie said viciously.
