Yin Cheng described, “That’s a shame, I really wanted to see what the legendary humanoid monster looks like.”

Wen Qingling continued to stare at him, “You don’t just want to see it, you want to get it.”

Yin Cheng replied, “Well, who wouldn’t want to get their hands on something like that?”

Wen Qingling glanced at Xiao Hen.

Xiao Hen remained silent.

Wen Qingling nodded to himself, realizing that Xiao Hen had also wanted the blood anemone at one point, but after seeing the danger of the baby anemone, he stopped mentioning it.

Yin Cheng smiled and asked, “Colonel Xiao also wants it, doesn’t he?”

Wen Qingling nodded and shook his head, “He used to want it, but not anymore.”

Xiao Hen and Ji Rong, who knew the truth, thought to themselves, “What’s the point of getting a small monster like that? Will it save humanity?”

Yin Cheng looked at Xiao Hen curiously. He didn’t believe that Xiao Hen didn’t want the small monster that could cure infected people.

Wen Qingling looked at his patients and said, “Can you still walk? You’d better go back to the base to recover. The smell of blood will attract zombies.”

He couldn’t protect them forever.

The four of them helped each other leave the store and headed toward the base.

Wen Qingling carried his backpack and calmly followed behind.

They didn’t encounter any zombies on the way, and those who didn’t know the truth were grateful for their luck. Those who did know, however, kept their eyes on Wen Qingling.

Wen Qingling walked back to the off-road vehicle and waited for Xiao Hen to drive them back to Rong City.

The four injured people were stopped at the entrance to the base. Everyone who entered the base had to undergo a physical examination, and it was difficult for injured people to enter, especially those whose wounds were suspected to have been bitten by zombies.

Four people who returned alive shouted, “We weren’t infected! We’ve been cured! We don’t have the virus!”

No one believed them, and they still couldn’t enter the base.

Finally, the leader of the base decided to let them stay in a small house outside the base for two days. If they didn’t turn into zombies, then they would believe that they weren’t infected.

Meng Lao heard about the four people’s ordeal and that Wen Qingling was outside. He rushed over in a hurry, hoping to see Wen Qingling.

“Where is Dr. Wen? Where is he?” Meng Lao hurriedly asked, afraid of missing him again.

Xiao Hen glanced at the off-road vehicle and said helplessly, “He’s in the car. I’ll go ask him if he wants to come out and talk to you.” 

Meng Lao was very excited, “Okay, hurry up.”

Meng Lao’s four assistants all respected him and couldn’t bear to see him, an elderly person, waiting by the roadside. Meng Lao had earned everyone’s respect in virus research, and what kind of person would dare to make him wait?

Shao Fei said, “Mr. Meng, we’ll go in and wait. Let him come to see you.”

Meng Lao was in a good mood and waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t mind.

Xiao Hen walked to the passenger window and looked at the indifferent Wen Qingling. He knew that things were a bit difficult to handle.

He quietly handed Wen Qingling a third-level evolution crystal nucleus and said, “Mr. Meng really wants to see you. Can you meet him?”

Wen Qingling looked at him and asked, “When are we leaving?”

Xiao Hen glanced at the excited Meng Lao and said, “After you’ve seen Mr. Meng.”

Wen Qingling accepted the crystal nucleus, got out of the car, and followed Xiao Hen to see Meng Lao.

The three of Ji Rong who didn’t see the scene of giving the crystal nucleus were very impressed. Only the boss could talk to Wen Qingling.

Meng Lao was a small and thin old man. When he looked at Wen Qingling, his eyes were shining as if he had found a treasure.

Meng Lao took the initiative to extend his hand and said, “Hello, hello. I finally see you.”

Xiao Hen and the others were nervous for Meng Lao. On the one hand, Yin Cheng was ignored when he extended his hand, and on the other hand, they were afraid that Wen Qingling would ignore him again, causing Meng Lao to lose face.

Wen Qingling stared at Meng Lao for two seconds, then stretched out his slightly pale hand and shook hands with him.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Wen Qingling was not ignoring everyone, but selectively ignoring them.

Meng Lao gets straight to the point: “I heard you have something that can cure infected individuals, is it true?”

Wen Qingling responds, “It’s true.”

Meng Lao excitedly asks, “Can I take a look?”

Since the medicine was able to cure those four people, it should be on Wen Qingling’s person.

Wen Qingling says, “No.”

Meng Lao and the others are taken aback.

Shao Fei, who is fed up with Meng Lao’s attitude, speaks up: “I don’t think you understand the situation. Standing in front of you is the only remaining national treasure-level virus research expert in our country. The fate of humanity rests solely on Meng Lao’s shoulders. No matter what kind of doctor you are, you should show some respect for Meng Lao!”

The four survivors who were saved are speechless.

It’s actually you who needs to understand the situation! This is the person who single-handedly tore apart zombies and crushed a level-three evolved dog with one foot! You can’t mess with him!

Ji Rong and the others feel chills running down their spines. This kid is arrogant in front of survivors, but now they’re being arrogant in front of Wen Qingling, who can decide life and death in a matter of seconds.

Wen Qingling looks at Shao Fei, who arrogantly confronts him. Shao Fei lifts his chin with an attitude of superiority as he meets Wen Qingling’s gaze.

Wen Qingling says, “That’s good then. The fate of humanity is in your hands. Good luck.”

Wen Qingling asks Xiao Hen, “Can we leave now?”

Xiao Hen is speechless. He spent a level three evolved crystal nucleus to arrange this meeting, only to have it ruined by this idiot.

Xiao Hen helplessly says, “Let’s go.”

As Wen Qingling takes a step forward, Shao Fei suddenly pounces and tries to grab Wen Qingling’s backpack. “Leave the medicine behind before you go!”

Yin Cheng’s people have been waiting for an opportunity. They finally see Wen Qingling and the medicine that can cure the infected is in his backpack. How can they let them leave?

As soon as Shao Fei makes a move, Yin Cheng and the others follow suit. Ice and water abilities all attack Wen Qingling at the same time!

“Stop!” Xiao Hen wanted to stop them, but it was too late.

Ji Rong, He Lin, and Shi Chong all acted at the same time to intercept Yin Cheng and others.

At this moment, Wen Qingling pinched Shao Fei’s neck and pulled him in front of him, blocking the two ice cones that were thrown at him. Shi Chong’s earth shield blocked the bullets shot by Yin Cheng at Wen Qingling, but one bullet still deviated from the earth shield and shot toward Wen Qingling!

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Wen Qingling, and the bullet pierced through his body, embedding into Wen Qingling’s chest.

Everyone was stunned.

“Boss!” Ji Rong and the others were about to rush forward, but Xiao Hen raised his hand to stop them.

Wen Qingling released Shao Fei, who was on the brink of life and death, and looked at Xiao Hen’s bleeding chest, then looked at his own chest where the bullet had lodged. It wasn’t deep, and he used his fingers to pull out the bullet from the flesh and blood in front of everyone.

There were gasps all around.

Wen Qingling hardly felt any pain, he could only see blood gushing out of the wound, and after the bullet was removed, the wound quickly healed. He pinched the bloody bullet in his hand, and the blood flowed down his fingers, drop by drop, three drops in total.

The three drops of blood that fell on the ground quickly grew into something red visible to the naked eye. Originally, they were only the size of marbles, but soon they grew to the size of a child’s fist.

Xiao Hen, who saw this scene up close, couldn’t believe it. These were…Blood anemones!

Xiao Hen looked at Wen Qingling in disbelief. This was completely different from what Wen Qingling had told him. This was not something Wen Qingling accidentally discovered, but…something that was nurtured by his own blood!

Wen Qingling squatted down and picked up the three small blood anemones that had stopped growing, along with the bullet, and put them in his backpack.

A green light appeared in his palm, and Wen Qingling pressed the light on Xiao Hen’s wound. With lowered eyebrows and eyes, Wen Qingling said coldly, “I’m going to kill them all, will you stop me?”

Although injured, Xiao Hen still stood straight. At this moment, there was no time to worry about the origin of the blood anemone. The most important thing was to calm Wen Qingling’s anger.

Xiao Hen said, “Those who are wronged have a debt to be paid, don’t harm innocent people.”

Wen Qingling asked, “Are there innocent people here?”

Xiao Hen replied, “They didn’t take action.”

Nearly a hundred soldiers who came with Yin Cheng didn’t take action, mainly just Yin Cheng and his team members. He couldn’t let all of them die here.

Wen Qingling: “But they covet my blood anemones.”

Xiao Hen whispered, “If you kill them all, you’ll be declaring war on humanity. Is that what you want to see?”

Wen Qingling said, “They want to kill me. Even if I go to war with humans, so what?”

All the zombies he met would be his warriors. What did he have to fear?!

Xiao Hen grabbed Wen Qingling’s wrist and said, “Don’t go that far, because they’re not worth it.”

Wen Qingling stared at him and asked, “Are you trying to stop me?”

Xiao Hen replied, “I won’t let you go to war with humans. Unless I die and can’t see that day, I will definitely stop you.”

Wen Qingling didn’t say anything and pushed the entire green light into Xiao Hen’s chest, healing his injuries from the weapon.

Ji Rong and He Lin, who had seen Wen Qingling’s strength firsthand, were already nervous to the point of suffocation. They were especially afraid that if Wen Qingling became angry, he would destroy everyone present, including the Rong City Base.

However, there are always those who are not afraid of death. Until this moment, they still don’t know how foolish they were. All of Xiao Hen’s previous friendliness and soothing words were rendered useless today.

Yin Cheng still pointed at Wen Qingling and asked, “What was that just now? What grew out of your blood?”

Three drops of blood grew into three small red objects, which everyone present saw, but only Yin Cheng asked about it.

Wen Qingling looked at him and suddenly reached out, a strong suction pulling Yin Cheng over. Yin Cheng opened his weapon, and when Wen Qingling swung his arm, Yin Cheng and the weapon both turned, hitting their own people.

Tao Shuang and Xiang Xichen simultaneously used their abilities, the ice and water abilities activating at the same time. The ground suddenly cracked open, and numerous black thorn-covered vines appeared, trapping everyone in a vine hell!

“Wen Qingling!” Xiao Hen knew his temperament, after suffering such a big loss, he couldn’t just let it go.

He Lin rushed towards Meng Lao at the first moment, grabbed him, and used his wind wings to drag him to a safe place. The others who were trapped in the thorny vine hell, even if they were not attacked, still suffered injuries as the black thorns on the vines were very sharp.

Yin Cheng was the main target of the attack, and a thick vine was specially prepared for him, allowing him to taste the feeling of being pierced through the chest! However, what Wen Qingling did not expect was that someone actually blocked this attack for Yin Chengrui.

Lin Shang was impaled on the thorny vines, coughing up blood incessantly.

Yin Cheng was furious and the other team members rushed over to try to get Lin Shang down.

Yin Cheng went crazy and opened fire at Wen Qingling, but Wen Qingling quickly jumped out of his range.

“Take Meng Lao and go!” Xiao Hen chased after Wen Qingling.
