"And you? Have you saved enough for retirement?"
Xie Chiyuan was speechless because his own father had blocked his way.
He and Yu An have many children, so they definitely don't have enough money saved up.
I stayed in the hospital for a while longer.
Xie Chiyuan couldn't persuade his father, so he had no choice but to resign himself to continuing to work.
No sooner had he left than Yin Tan put down the apple.
"From now on, no matter who comes to me from the West District, don't let them in."
"The same applies to other districts..."
Ruan Ke's eyes flickered when he heard the last sentence. He sat down, grasped Yin Qin's hand, and asked softly, "Are you really sure?"
Yin Qin smiled and said, "That old codger in the East District is dead, and now his son has taken over. The North and South Districts shouldn't be able to cause any trouble, and I'm retiring from the West District as well."
"The plan we made was abandoned because we couldn't even get everyone together."
The anti-abnormality camp in the West Side has quieted down.
Xie Chiyuan is currently in charge of the West District. If he can completely subdue the West District, then the fate of the mutants might be a little more optimistic after the zombies disappear.
As they chatted, they gradually ran out of things to say.
After a long while, Yin Qin, holding Ruan Ke's hand, suddenly chuckled softly: "This brat, he was more obedient when he was a kid."
"I still remember when I first met this brat, he was all dirty and looked so pitiful."
“I told him to call me Dad, and he actually did.”
At that time, Yin Qin did not know that calling someone "Dad" would bring out a sense of responsibility in him, a man who prided himself on being calm, rational, and cold-blooded.
“Chi Yuan is a good child. I knew long ago that you would get attached to him as you raised him.”
I can't bear to see the child I've raised with so much effort end up like that.
Therefore, Yin Tan called the man out of the army, letting him continue to perform his duties for outsiders to see, while also keeping him by his side to learn how to manage the western district.
It's useless for one person to be strong alone.
To live a good life, you must seize the greatest power.
In the hospital ward.
No one could hear Yin Tan and Ruan Ke's conversation. Towards the end, they even talked about their vacation destination.
"I've been busy for most of my life, and I haven't had a vacation yet."
Yin Qin squeezed Ruan Ke's palm and apologized to him in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I've made sure you don't have a peaceful life since you've been with me."
"Fortunately, now that the brat has taken over, I can finally take you on a proper vacation."
After hearing what he said, Ruan Ke said helplessly, "You're free, but I'm not."
He needs to develop a vaccine for the infection.
Like Ruan Ke, there are two other zombies in the West District who are also concerned about the vaccine.
One is Yu An, who has just been freed from the zombie status, and the other is the zombie king that Yu An brought back.
The two of them are standing together right now.
Sun Mo looked at the "Source Zombie" in front of him, shook his head, and confirmed, "You've got the wrong one. He's not a Source Zombie."
The original zombies are not controlled by the zombie king, but the one in front of them can be controlled by Sun Mo.
In the laboratory.
The team researching the "source zombie" looked grim. The lead PhD student, sporting dark circles from staying up all night, gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder our experiments kept failing; it turns out this is just an ordinary zombie!"
Sun Moneng was able to communicate with this zombie.
A moment later.
Sun Mo's eyes flickered, bringing some rather encouraging good news.
"Although he wasn't a source zombie, he was indeed among the first batch of infected zombies."
"Oh, he knows who the first person to turn into a zombie was."
“It’s his roommate.”
With Sun Mo, the zombie king, around, it's like having a zombie language translator.
However, Sun Mo's current situation is completely different from the other zombie king they are cooperating with in the western district.
The old man said, "This is the source of the zombies."
Sun Mo said, "No, that's not it."
Whom to believe became a problem for them.
"I believe in Brother Sun!"
Chiu Chiu, who was taken everywhere by Sun Mo, spoke up when she heard them hesitating and unsure of who to trust.
The people in the lab recognize this little bird.
Little Chick is clearly a powerful A10, but she is very kind to them.
Sometimes they need blood samples for experiments related to aberrations, and this little chick will provide them with blood samples.
"Let's be prepared for both scenarios; we'll keep this one for now."
They also intend to bring the zombie's roommate back to the lab.
His roommate's name is Lin Sheng.
Sun Mo slowly coaxed information out of him, but then he suddenly paused. He then said with a hint of doubt, "He said Lin Sheng is already in the West District."
The people in the lab: "???"
How is that possible?!
The security and inspection at the West District headquarters are extremely strict. Apart from the two zombie kings and the zombies in their laboratory, it is impossible for any more zombies to sneak in.
“That’s exactly what he said.” Sun Mo frowned. Communicating with this zombie, who wasn’t quite lucid and was, in other words, a bit mentally challenged, was also quite a challenge for him.
Seeing him frown, Qiuqiu quickly reached out and pressed his hand down.
A group of people were racking their brains over the extra zombies in the base, and even Yu An was thinking about it.
After thinking for a while, Yu An slapped his forehead and said, "I know who Lin Sheng is!"
He hadn't quite grasped the situation yet; he kept thinking about whether zombies had infiltrated the area.
But in reality, there's another zombie that's always active right under their noses.
It's the three kids' personal zombie!
This zombie, codenamed Bamboo Zombie, doesn't bite or gnaw on people. It does three things every day: plant bamboo, dig up bamboo, and feed pandas.
However, he is not a zombie king, nor can he communicate with humans. Xie Chiyuan and Yu An even discussed how to deal with him in the future.
Whether to kill or spare them, no decision has been reached yet.
Hearing Sun Mo say these things now, Yu An felt only relief.
"Fortunately, he didn't die in M City."
At the time, Yu An was in a frenzy killing zombies, and this zombie lay peacefully in the dormitory without coming out.
Later, the old zombie stopped them and wanted to keep the zombie, but Sanzai didn't agree.
By a twist of fate, they had already brought the bamboo zombie back with them.
Thinking about this, Yu An felt incredibly lucky. His eyes were full of smiles, and his voice was full of joy: "I'm going to find Lin Sheng right now."
"Sun Mo, let's go together. You can verify it again."
"Um."
They left together, and the people in the lab watched them go, almost wanting to follow them.
But Yu An waved his hand and said he would bring Lin Sheng over in a little while.
It's three or four in the afternoon now.
Yu An didn't even need to ask; he knew Lin Sheng was in the bamboo garden.
really.
At the innermost part of the bamboo garden, Lin Sheng was bending down to inspect each bamboo stalk.
"Lin Sheng!"
Yu An called his name from behind, wanting to see if he would react.
But even after two or three minutes had passed since the call, the zombie, who was engrossed in inspecting the bamboo, did not raise its head.
Yu An felt a chill in her heart: "He didn't react to this name at all. Could it be that we've got the wrong person?"
"You didn't get the wrong one."
Sun Mo, who was holding Qiuqiu, gave him an affirmative answer from the side.
"He is the source zombie, Lin Sheng."
Sun Mo stared intently at the zombies not far away. He knew that as long as the zombies were around, developing a vaccine would be just around the corner.
The advent of vaccines also signifies the decline of the zombie apocalypse.
He is the zombie king; without zombies, he cannot be king.
He was well aware of the outcome, but he still firmly told Yu An, "I can't control this zombie."
The only one that was first mutated and not controlled by the Zombie King was this original zombie.
Yu An believed in Sun Mo.
He stepped forward and walked step by step to Lin Sheng.
"Lin Sheng, come with me somewhere."
"roar?"
