I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

⟣Chapter 93

Wen Qingling looked at the grief-stricken girl. This was the first time someone had asked him to protect zombies, even though the intention was to protect their loved ones who had turned into zombies. But still, they were zombies.

Wen Qingling recalled the memory fragment of seeing Xiao Hen. He knew that his mother had turned into a zombie, but he still wanted to protect her. After Xiao Hen’s father killed his mother, Xiao Hen’s whole world collapsed.

Xiao Hen noticed that Wen Qingling was staring blankly at the girl, wondering what he was thinking.

“What’s wrong with you?” Xiao Hen asked in a low voice.

Wen Qingling suddenly said, “Back then, were you also desperate like her?”

Xiao Hen froze, and although Wen Qingling didn’t explicitly say it, he understood what Wen Qingling meant.

Wen Qingling’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears, “From now on, hunting the zombies around the civilized city is prohibited. If attacked by zombies, you can defend yourself, but you cannot actively hunt them. I hope everyone will supervise each other, and once discovered, punishments will be given based on the severity of the situation. In addition, zombie crystals will no longer be used as currency. Other crystals like the corpse-beast crystal can be used normally.”

The crowd erupted in chaos. Everyone couldn’t understand if Lord Wen really wanted to protect the zombies. It was unbelievable!

For ordinary humans, zombie crystals were only used as currency and could be replaced. However, for ability users, it was crucial for advancing their powers and couldn’t be replaced. Some ability users immediately questioned:

“Zombies feed on humans. If we don’t kill them, they will prey on us. As ability users, without zombie crystals, we can’t enhance our powers. Your command doesn’t make sense.”

Wen Qingling’s gaze remained cold and devoid of emotion. “From today onwards, I will gather all the zombies around Ling City outside the civilized city. As long as you don’t venture into the zombie territory without permission, you won’t encounter zombies. I also mentioned that you can use corpse-beast crystals.”

“How is that possible? Different species. How can humans use corpse-beast crystals? It’s like how animal organs cannot be transplanted into humans.”

“Yes, I’ve heard that absorbing corpse-beast crystals can cause abilities to go out of control, almost leading to spontaneous combustion. It’s very dangerous.”

“It’s safer to use zombie crystals.”

“Using zombie crystals is our freedom. Even Lord Wen can’t take away our freedom.”

“We don’t understand why Lord Wen wants to prohibit killing zombies. They have already turned into zombies and only know how to eat humans. Shouldn’t it be better to eliminate as many zombies as possible for the sake of humanity?”

Wen Qingling’s gaze turned colder. At this moment, Xiao Hen spoke up, “I used to be like all of you, hostile towards zombies, wishing to eliminate all of them. But now, I don’t think that way anymore because zombies are also humans. They’ve lost their autonomy due to the zombie virus and become zombies that only know how to feed. When you clamor to kill zombies now, have you ever thought that one day the zombie virus will be resolved, and zombies can turn back into humans? But you will have killed your own loved ones or others who have turned into zombies. Will you not regret it then?”

Xiao Hen’s words caused the entire room to fall silent.

If zombies were seen as patients, who would be willing to kill all their sick family members and friends?
