I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

Chapter 140

TL: Moonlit

Were almost there, guys! ^^

When Ji Rong and the others saw Old Xue, they felt intimidated. Their previous habits were hard to change in a short period of time.

Old Xue glanced at them and took the initiative to extend his hand to Wen Qingling. Long time no see, Lord Wen.

In consideration of his relationship with Xiao Hen and Old Xues seniority, Wen Qingling gave him face and shook his hand.

Wen Qingling nodded toward the group of people who came with Old Xue. General Xue, are they here for inspection?

Old Xue couldnt hold up his face and gave a signal to Xiao Hen who was standing beside him, but Xiao Hen saw it and remained indifferent.

Old Xue:

Old Xue had to salvage the situation himself. Xiao Hen has been staying here and hasnt gone back, so I came to check on him.

Wen Qingling showed interest. General Xue, are you mistaken? Xiao Hen is not a resident of the Central Giant City, so what do you mean by going back?

Old Xue felt awkward and looked at Xiao Hen, hoping he would say something, but Xiao Hen remained silent.

Old Xue was on the verge of losing his temper. This brat, why didnt he come to the rescue at a time like this? Next time, he would make sure his father breaks his legs.

Xiao Hen couldnt hear Old Xues thoughts at all. All his attention was focused on the group of people who came with them.

Xiao Hen remained cold and emotionless, as if he didnt recognize Old Xue. Just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush.

Old Xue:

Only then did Old Xue carefully examine Xiao Hen. He felt that something was off about this kid. Not only his temperament and tone of speech, but even his attitude towards him was wrong, and his gaze lacked any trace of emotion.

No, this was too wrong. Was this person really Xiao Hen?

One of the high-ranking officials accompanying them sneered, Since you put it that way, let me ask directly. Are you and Wen Qingling humans or zombies?

As soon as these words came out, Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen showed no reaction, but Ji Rong and the others became alert, their hair standing on end, as they looked at the people in front of them.

Originally, they just wanted to ask if Wen Qingling was a zombie, but this high-ranking official had implicated Xiao Hen as well.

Old Xue angrily said, General Zhu, be careful with your words. This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Hen.

General Zhu laughed. Considering his relationship with Wen Qingling, do you still think it has nothing to do with him?

Old Xue was speechless. Xiao Hen had already left the Central Giant City to protect Wen Qingling, but this information had been concealed and kept from the public. If it were to be leaked, it would raise doubts about Xiao Hens humanity.

Wen Qinglings mouth curved up. Whether we are humans or zombies, what difference does it make?

General Zhus expression darkened. If you are humans, we are on the same side. If you are not, then we are enemies!

Wen Qingling raised a finger and shook it. Dont misunderstand. Even if we are humans, we are not on the same side. We never were. And as for enemies Are you sure you want to be enemies with me?

General Zhus face turned gloomy. Are you admitting that you are a zombie?

Old Xue was dissatisfied with General Zhus attitude. They were forced to come and inquire about their identities, so they should have been careful with their attitudes and words, not escalate the conflict. But General Zhus attitude was problematic.

Now even Wen Qingling was a bit unsure whether he was human or a zombie. However, compared to being a human, he would rather be a zombie.

Wen Qingling was feeling a bit tired from standing and lazily leaned against Xiao Hen. Xiao Hen raised his hand to hold him and whispered, Tired?

A little bit. Wen Qinglings eyes narrowed. Its so boring

Wen Qingling! Is it so difficult to answer whether you are human or a zombie?! General Zhu, who was being ignored, shouted angrily. Today, you wont be able to deceive your way through

With a snap of Xiao Hens fingers, General Zhu, who was shouting, suddenly couldnt make a sound, and blood sprayed from his neck, splattering nearby peoples faces and bodies.

General Zhu covered his bloody neck, gasping in disbelief.

All firearms were instantly loaded and aimed, with all barrels pointing at Xiao Hen and the others.

General Zhu was immediately protected by people, and healers began to save him.

Old Xue only thought that General Zhu might anger Wen Qingling, but he didnt expect that Wen Qingling wouldnt be provoked. Instead, it was Xiao Hen who took action first. Looking at the direct throat-slitting move, it was clear that he intended to kill.

As they watched the cautious retreat of the others, Wen Qingling lazily raised his eyelids. Welcome to be our enemies.

Does this mean?

He really is a zombie!

Everyone became even more cautious, retreating further and further, with all firearms steadily aimed at them.

Xiao Hen said in a deep voice, From now on, the Central Giant City and all the zombies under its jurisdiction will be your enemies.

Xiao Hen! Old Xue was being pulled back by a group of people, struggling but unable to break free. Xiao Hen, do you know what youre saying?! Are you sure you want to stand with Wen Qingling against the Central Giant City?!

Xiao Hen looked at him coldly. We helped the Central Giant City, and they compensated us. We settled our debts. Since youve come to provoke us, eager to be enemies with the Civilized City, we can only fulfill your wishes.

Old Xue was almost driven mad. This wasnt their original intention. His goal was only to confirm Wen Qinglings identity, not to become enemies. How did it develop into this?!

Xiao Hens deep gaze looked at them. You have five minutes. Once the time is up, none of you can escape.

With Xiao Hens ruthlessness in killing with just a word, no one dared to challenge the truth of his words.

The group quickly retreated, and someone maliciously shouted, Just zombies, wanting to build a base like humans. Do they know that youre a zombie?!

Shouting loudly and running fast, everyone quickly climbed onto helicopters, and the helicopters took off with a deafening noise.

Old Xue was dragged onto a helicopter, and it quickly took off and left.

Old Xue looked back with worry, and when he did, he couldnt help but become furious. He grabbed a loudspeaker and shouted, What are you doing?! Who gave you permission to do this?! Stop!

Only a few helicopters actually left, and Old Xue was on one of them. The remaining armed helicopters adjusted their gun barrels and aimed at Wen Qingling and the others on the ground, clearly intending to catch them off guard and kill them.

What made Old Xue even more furious was that a few armed helicopters flew directly into the Civilized City, their intentions obvious.

Old Xue threw off his headgear, got up, and went to pull open the cabin door, but the protected soldiers quickly stopped him.

Xiao Hen held Wen Qingling tightly and looked coldly at the armed helicopters in the air. He gestured in the air with his finger, and a huge spatial blade slashed through one of the helicopters, causing a burst of flames and crashing to the ground.

The remaining helicopters immediately gained altitude, and machine guns and rockets opened fire. Even if Wen Qingling was strong, under such intense attacks, he couldnt hope to survive!

However, what shocked everyone was that all the attacks disappeared in front of Wen Qingling.

Disappeared!

Just like a mud ox entering the sea, not even a splash of water could be seen.

Just as they were puzzled, there was an explosion in the sky above the civilized city. The missing bullets and rockets all hit the helicopters that were trying to take advantage of the situation. Two helicopters had their propellers destroyed and spiraled down, emitting black smoke as they crashed to the ground. The remaining two helicopters were also greatly frightened by the sudden attack.

Xiao Hen gestured with his hand and swiftly cut down two more helicopters.

He let go of Wen Qingling and whispered, Wait for me here. Ill be back soon.

Wen Qingling stretched his body and replied, Go ahead.

Xiao Hen disappeared from where he stood and reappeared in mid-air. He seemed to be floating in the air no, it wasnt floating, but rather standing on the space itself. The space beneath his feet was hazy, like standing on a transparent glass.

He waved his hand and once again brought down two helicopters that were attempting to escape. When the wreckage crashed to the ground, it disappeared into thin air and reappeared outside the city.

Xiao Hen didnt want the hard-earned civilized city to be destroyed because of these people.

After completing all this, Xiao Hen returned to Wen Qinglings side.

Outside the city, four damaged helicopters appeared out of thin air and crashed to the ground with a series of explosions. The survivors were desperately crawling out while shouting. Both blond and black-haired people were in a state of disarray.

Xiao Hen didnt even spare them a glance as he dealt with them all.

Old Xue, who was watching this scene from a short distance away, felt a chill run down his spine.

Xiao Hen was no longer the person he was familiar with. As a military man, he never indiscriminately killed innocent people. But now, Xiao Hen killed without batting an eye, giving off a chilling and ruthless aura.

Xiao Hen embraced Wen Qingling and left, leaving the scene for Ji Rong and the others to handle.

Ji Rong and the others were already frightened by Xiao Hens strength and silently went to clean up the aftermath.

Old Xue returned to the central mega-city and found that out of the more than ten helicopters that went, only a few returned. Not a single foreigner who went with them came back, and even some of Chinas own people were lost. There were no survivors, all of them were killed.

The foreign delegation, especially the representatives of M country, questioned Old Xue about why such a thing had happened.

Old Xue, who was still angry, slammed the table and asked them in return why they didnt follow orders, took action against Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen without authorization, and even attempted to forcefully enter the airspace of the civilized city. What did they mean by all this?!

They all understood what it meant, but no one openly said it, still trying to maintain that thin layer of decency.

The M country delegation was furious. Since the lord of the civilized city is a zombie, as humans, I believe theres no need to hold back. We should just bomb the civilized city and wipe out that zombie.

The Chinese military immediately retorted, Inside the civilized city, theres only one zombie, Wen Qingling. Does your plan to bomb it include killing our surviving citizens as well?!

The M country delegation refused to back down. Joined by several other countries, they put pressure on the central mega-city, intending to take action against the civilized city.

Even within the central mega-city, opinions were divided. The majority of the high-ranking officials pointed their fingers at Xiao Jiang and Old Xue. Those people were killed by Xiao Hen, and the survivors who returned could testify to that. There was no way to deny this.

Xiao Hen, in order to protect a zombie, killed the soldiers of the central mega-city. This act could not be forgiven. Even Lei Yuxiao and Mo Chengshuang, who were close to Wen Qingling, couldnt speak up at this moment. If they did, they would undoubtedly be labeled as sympathizers of the zombie.

Not to mention the dissatisfaction of the other major regions with Xiao Jiang and Old Xue, even the high-ranking officials of the third major region were unhappy with Xiao Hens actions. They were advising Xiao Jiang to deceive Xiao Hen and bring him back to give an explanation to the other soldiers.

Xiao Jiang knew all too well that if he really deceived Xiao Hen and brought him back, it might not be to give an explanation to anyone. Instead, they would be used as leverage to force Wen Qingling to hand over the method for making the antidote and vaccine.
