I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

⟣Chapter 73

Xue Feng said, “Aren’t you friends?”

Xiao Hen replied, “Friends won’t work either.”

Xue Feng stared at Xiao Hen for a while, “From the information brought back by Meng Lao, the things in that doctor’s hands may be the key to developing a vaccine. If he cooperates…”

“Don’t have any ideas about him,” Xiao Hen interrupted, his gaze fixed on his superior, “That is not the key to developing a vaccine. It could be a disaster for humanity. Besides Dr. Wen, no one can control it.”

The car had already stopped, but no one got out.

Xiao Hen continued, “Based on our past relationship, I must remind you, don’t go to Ling City, don’t provoke Dr. Wen. His willingness to release Meng Lao is already the biggest concession. He has already handed over the people with antibodies to Meng Lao. Whether they can develop a vaccine depends on the abilities of the researchers. Don’t force him to become an enemy of Central Mega City. He may be humanity’s only way out in the future. Humanity shouldn’t destroy itself.”

Xue Feng looked at him in astonishment, and Xiao Hen continued, “I can only tell you these things. Xiao Jiang won’t listen to me. If someone proposes the use of force against Ling City in the future, I hope you can stop them. Ling City must not be attacked, and Dr. Wen should not be provoked.”

Xiao Hen’s tone was particularly serious, and Xue Feng had to take it seriously. “Is that why you retired and left the city?”

“This was my own choice,” Xiao Hen replied.

Xiao Hen didn’t give Xue Feng a chance to think and then dropped another bombshell.

“Furthermore, Central Mega City should strengthen its defenses. There is a new group appearing in the south. They appear human and hide among human bases. It’s difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. They increase their strength by consuming humans. They call themselves ‘Undead.’ They are neither pure zombies nor pure humans. Like zombies, they spread the virus by biting, but their infection speed is faster. After biting someone, they transform in just 5 seconds, without any buffer time. Several survivor bases in the south have already been attacked.”

“New species?!” Xue Feng exclaimed.

“Something like that. Don’t judge by appearances. Their human disguise is flawless. It’s best to draw blood for verification. Their blood is different from human blood.”

Xiao Hen carefully explained the strength and characteristics of the “Undead” to Xue Feng, whose expression grew increasingly serious.

“Do you have any corpses?” Xue Feng asked.

“Yes,” Xiao Hen’s storage space indeed contained some “Undead” corpses. They had killed too many of them, so obtaining a few specimens for research purposes was not difficult. Xiao Hen gave Xue Feng several “Undead” corpses.

Xue Feng had the bodies placed in the trunk. This news was too significant, and he no longer had time to guide Xiao Hen slowly. He had to report this information as soon as possible. As for Xiao Hen’s matter, he would leave it to his own father to handle.

Xue Feng had two soldiers escort Xiao Hen upstairs while he took the corpses to the virus research institute, seeking trustworthy researchers to study them.

Xiao Hen had no intention of escaping and followed the two soldiers straight to General Xiao’s office.

General Xiao was busy. When he saw Xiao Hen enter, he glanced at him briefly, then continued his phone call. Xiao Hen stood in the office, waiting for General Xiao to finish giving his orders. Only then did General Xiao hang up the phone and picked up a stack of documents from his desk to review.
