I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

TL: Moonlit

Wen Qingling originally planned to return and develop Yue County Base, but unexpectedly, Yue County Base had been established on its own.

While in the helicopter, Wen Qingling noticed something was wrong. Yue County had imitated Xiang County and Xu County by building a wall and a gate leading to Civilization City. Although it was poorly constructed, it still resembled the original.

Wen Qingling was curious about how Yue County Base was built without him relocating the zombies from Yue County.

Shortly after Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen left, more and more survivors were attracted by the detoxifying agents and vaccines. Some survivors migrated as a group, causing trouble and becoming difficult to manage. Neither Xiang County nor Xu County accepted such survivors. They wanted to separate them and suppress their momentum, but their plan backfired, as the survivors went on to establish their own base in Yue County.

Yue County was under the jurisdiction of Ji Rong and blood corpse, and someone took control of it while Wen Qingling was away. This was unacceptable, and the intruders had to be driven out.

Ji Rong was busy with matters in Civilization City and couldn’t go, so the blood corpse went instead. However, to their surprise, the leader of the survivors who occupied Yue County turned out to be someone Xue Shi knew…

He Lin briefly explained what happened: after Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen left, survivors were attracted by the detoxifying agents and vaccines. They arrived at Yue County and were led by Yuan Chen, who learned from Xiang County and Xu County and started building a wall. By the time they received the news, it was already a day later.

With Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen absent, Yue County, which belonged to Civilization City, couldn’t be occupied by others. Ji Rong confronted the blood corpse, and they ended up fighting each other fiercely. The blood corpse was a chaotic individual who only respected Wen Qingling’s power and didn’t fear anyone else. He acted according to his own preferences and did as he pleased. He didn’t care about Ji Rong and the others. They fought several times, but neither could gain the upper hand. Ji Rong truly couldn’t handle the blood corpse.

Of course, if they really wanted to eliminate the blood corpse, they had a way. Civilization City had plenty of weapons. However, they were afraid that if the blood corpse went mad, he would unleash a horde of zombies and flood Xiang County Base and Xu County Base. All their efforts would be in vain. Thus, the issue remained unresolved until now.

Wen Qingling used his spiritual power to scan the entire Civilization City but couldn’t find the blood corpse. He asked, “Where is he?”

He Lin replied, “If he’s not in Civilization City, he may have gone back to Yue County.”

Wen Qingling was almost driven to madness by this. He said, “I think he wants to die.”

Just as Wen Qingling was about to go to Yue County to capture him, the blood corpse appeared within the range of his spiritual power.

Wen Qingling halted and shouted angrily, “Come over here!”

The blood corpse, who had just returned from Yue County, shivered all over his body. He hadn’t even entered the city yet, but he had already heard Wen Qingling’s voice.

After a moment of contemplation, the blood corpse didn’t back down and headed towards the South Gate.

Taking advantage of the blood corpse not having arrived yet, Xiao Hen asked how to arrange things with the Central Giant City. They couldn’t stay here indefinitely. If they were to witness a great battle between Wen Qingling and the blood corpse, it would undoubtedly be too stimulating for them.

Wen Qingling glanced at Xiao Hen and the others and said, “You’ve seen enough. You can go back now.”

Xiao Hen responded, “…”

The people from the Central Giant City remained silent.

They were already at the city gate. Why weren’t they allowed to go in and take a look?

Wen Qingling understood their thoughts and said, “You are not residents of Civilization City. You cannot enter. You can go back now.”

Xiao Hen and the others were crucial to the Central Giant City and couldn’t be away for too long. Having witnessed the prosperity of Civilization City, they already had an answer in their hearts regarding what choice to make.

Xia Jiang said, “I want to see Yunhan.”

Wen Qingling glanced at him and said, “He’s in the West City, which is quite far from here. If he comes over, are you not planning to return tonight?”

Xia Jiang looked at the others. It wouldn’t be good to delay them. He hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is he really still alive?”

Wen Qingling replied, “Absolutely.”

Xia Jiang nodded, having made his decision.

The matter of the Central Giant City couldn’t be done without Xiao Hen. This time, Wen Qingling didn’t stop him and allowed him to leave quickly and return quickly.

Xiao Hen was helpless. He knew that Wen Qingling was letting him go not out of goodwill but because he wanted to borrow his helicopter. If possible, it would be even better if Xiao Hen could bring back some beast crystals.

Xiao Hen discussed with Xiao Jiang and decided to leave two helicopters behind for any future needs.

Without entering the city, Xiao Hen left with the people from the Central Giant City.

Wen Qingling entered the city, curious about what the Blood Corpse was up to.

Suddenly, Wen Qingling remembered something. “Have the Undead attacked Civilization City?”

Ji Rong, He Lin, and Shi Chong exchanged glances. They were confused. Only if the Undead went insane would they dare to openly attack Civilization City, right? The Undead were still hiding from them.

He Lin replied, “No.”

Wen Qingling thought for a moment, then pressed something on his waist, and a bag containing blood-testing devices appeared in his hand.

He had solved such a big problem for the Central Giant City, and they couldn’t refuse to give him something in return. Unless they didn’t want the detoxifying agents and vaccines in the future, Lord Wen could ask for anything he wanted. Not only did he want the blood-testing devices, but he also wanted beast crystals. He even wanted the helicopters that Lord Wen took a liking to.

That was how domineering and unreasonable he was.

As for the thing on his waist, it was Wen Qingling’s spoils of war, a total of six pieces that he had brought back.

Wen Qingling had already figured out how they worked. These things were storage spaces developed by Western countries and were very practical. They could be attached to the waist or placed in pockets, although putting them in pockets might lead to losing them, so it was safer to keep them on the waist.

The storage spaces were shaped like hexagrams, silver-white in color, with a metallic texture. They were covered in intricate patterns that served some unknown purpose. In the center of each hexagram was a blue beast crystal. Judging by the size of the crystals, they seemed to be cut from complete beast crystals. They looked beautiful, and as long as the user infused them with their abilities, the storage spaces would open.

The storage spaces weren’t large. Wen Qingling only had six pieces, with the largest one being about 3 cubic units and the smallest one about 1 cubic unit. Making these storage spaces must have been very difficult. Cedrick and the others each had one, but they didn’t even have a spare one.

But now, they were all Wen Qingling’s things. Even the researchers from the Central Giant City failed to borrow them for study.

Ji Rong and the others were astonished as the bag appeared out of thin air.

“Empty, spatial ability?” Ji Rong’s eyes widened. “You awakened a spatial ability?!”

Wen Qingling retorted, “Do you think abilities are as common as a cabbage? I awaken whichever one I fancy?”

Ji Rong and the others were even more amazed. “Then this is…”

Wen Qingling said, “I have a storage space.”

Their jaws dropped. They all had storage spaces too. Who could say it wasn’t a spatial ability?

Wen Qingling took out the hexagram and let them have a look. “This is a storage space. It has a created dimension inside that can be opened using abilities. I snatched them from several Westerners.”

Ji Rong and the others examined them repeatedly, marveling at such craftsmanship. They all wanted to know how these storage spaces were made. It was truly impressive.

Wen Qingling never did anything to boost his enemies’ morale or undermine his own prestige. He raised his chin and said, “We have detoxifiers and vaccines, and we’re also formidable.”

Ji Rong quickly said, “Yes, yes, we’re more formidable than them.”

They couldn’t survive without storage spaces, detoxifiers, and vaccines. But this storage space was truly impressive.

Wen Qingling took back the hexagram and carefully put it away, treasuring it.

Wen Qingling gave the blood-testing devices to Helin and Shichong, instructing them to deliver them to the Xiang County Base and Xu County Base respectively. They were to conduct blood tests and screenings on everyone at the bases. If they found any corpse people, they were to kill them without hesitation.

Furthermore, when receiving survivors, they must conduct thorough screenings and blood tests to prevent any loopholes for the corpse people.

He Lin and Shi Chong received their orders and also took Luo Fengjue and Mi Yan to the Xiang County Base. Luo Fengjue’s father, Luo Zhi, was at the Xiang County Base, and he couldn’t wait to see his father.

Mi Yan was also looking forward to the moment when Lord Wen would transform his parents into humans.

Mi Yan was human and couldn’t live in the Civilization City. That was the rule, so he had to be sent to Xiang County as well.

Ji Rong accompanied Wen Qingling to settle the score with the Blood Corpse.

The Blood Corpse didn’t dare to get close to Wen Qingling and stood far away, sensing that he was about to be beaten.

Wen Qingling didn’t beat around the bush and asked, “What’s going on in Yue County?”

The Blood Corpse hesitated for a while, seeing Ji Rong’s gloating expression, and suddenly anger surged from his heart. He straightened his neck and said, “Yue County was empty, but now not only are survivors from the Blue Province converging here, but survivors from neighboring provinces who have received the news are also coming one after another. The Xiang County Base and Xu County Base are already full, but the Yue County Base is still empty. What’s wrong with me building the Yue County Base? Isn’t that a good thing? It saves you the trouble. Isn’t it great now?”

Wen Qingling asked, “Do you think it’s great?”

The Blood Corpse replied, “I think it’s great. The walls of Yue County and the walls leading to the Civilization City have been built, just like in Xiang County and Xu County.”

Wen Qingling reached out from a distance, and the Blood Corpse was prepared. He turned around and tried to escape but was still caught by Wen Qingling.

“With your ugly construction, how dare you say it’s the same as Xiang County and Xu County? Whose aesthetic sense are you insulting?” Wen Qingling retorted.

The Blood Corpse, realizing he couldn’t escape, gave up on running and turned around, trying to claw at Wen Qingling. Wen Qingling slapped him precisely on the face, and the Blood Corpse was sent flying.

Enraged, the Blood Corpse roared and all the zombies outside the walls became restless.

The imposing pressure of the high-level zombies emanated from Wen Qingling, and the restless zombie horde quickly calmed down. Ji Rong and the Blood Corpse, who were closest to Wen Qingling, were almost flattened under the pressure.

Ji Rong hurriedly moved away from the big boss, not daring to provoke him.

Wen Qingling eased the pressure and gestured towards the Blood Corpse. It felt like a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on him, causing the Blood Corpse to directly lie down, face down. He struggled desperately like a salted fish, and after finally turning over, his face was facing up.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he angrily shouted, “You’re biased! I won’t accept it! The leaders of Xiang County and Xu County are your people, so what if I want just one Yue County? Yuan Chen, the leader of Yue County, is my cousin! He just wants a county as his base. What’s wrong with me giving it to him? I am the Eastern Zombie General of the Civilization City, and Yue County is also in the east. What’s wrong with me setting up one Yue County?!”
