I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

TL: Hua

“Wen Qingling, come and take a look.” Xiao Hen said.

Wen Qingling turned around and saw that the shape of his baby anemone was changing.

Wen Qingling: “What did you do to my baby anemone?”

Xiao Hen: “…..”

What an extreme injustice! He didn’t touch it at all!

In the place where Wen Qingling thought was the “root”, a “new body” began to grow, and as it kept feeding on the poisoned blood, it was slowly growing larger and covered with black lines.

Jiang Lan and Wen Zheng both followed, curiously watching.

Jiang Lan: “Is this going to turn into a pig?”

Wen Zheng wondered, “Why a pig?”

Jiang Lan pointed to the growing new body and said, “That’s the body. The spherical thing coming out of the oral disk¹

and tentacles is the head. If it’s this round, it must be a pig.”

Wen Zheng: “It’s not a pig, it doesn’t have a tail.”

Jiang Lan: “It must be a pig.”

Wen Qingling was expressionless: “Don’t want pigs, I don’t like pigs.”

Jiang Lan insisted: “Little piglets are so cute.”

Wen Qingling: “Not cute.”

Jiang Lan was angry, “Then what do you like?”

Wen Qingling: “Pikachu.”

Xiao Hen: “…..”

Ji Rong: “……”

A closer look at Wen Qingling shows that he wasn’t that old. If it weren’t for the apocalypse, he should still be in school now.

In order to collect the zombie poison, the other three blood anemone treatments were stopped, and all the patients were gathered at baby anemone’s side.

With enough poisonous blood, the baby anemone grew up quickly, but Wen Qingling failed to see Pikachu as he wished; instead he saw an unknown humanoid creature—only the size of an 8-month-old baby, with hands and feet, complete facial features, a head topped with an oral disk and tentacles, a pair of large blood-red round eyes, and a mouthful of sharp teeth that appeared when it grinned.

The red body and black lines of the blood anemone period have disappeared, and the unknown creature has turned white and clean, looking really like a cute and lovely child.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

The infected person who had just finished treatment rushed down with a roar.

When the people in the waiting area saw the strange creature that suddenly appeared, they were also pale and their legs were weak, “This, is this a monster?”

The little thing seemed to be able to understand human language because it bared its teeth and growled at the man. Its voice was strong and powerful, comparable to an adult zombie.

“Is is is is it a little zombie?!” Someone panicked.

Wen Qingling stretched out his hand, and the little thing immediately got up and walked steadily. It hugged Wen Qingling and didn’t let go.

Wen Qingling scooped up the little thing and checked it from front to back, left to right. It even has a little bird down there, almost exactly the same as human beings. 

Wen Qingling: “You really have become a baby anemone.”

Baby anemone stared at him with big red eyes.

Wen Qingling: “Do you still have the healing function?”

The baby anemone struggled to get down and took the initiative to pounce on the infected person in the waiting area, hugging his head and not letting go. The infected person was scared shitless and spinning 360 degrees in place, trying to get rid of the little monster.

The tentacles around the oral disk suddenly became longer, and all of them pierced into the neck wound of the infected person, sucking the poisonous blood at a rapid pace. Once done, it quickly jumped back into Wen Qingling’s arms.

The infected person was not scared to death by the zombie poison. He was almost scared into pissing by this weird little monster. He turned around and ran away, regardless of the blood hole on his neck.

Horrible.

If they hadn’t seen the formation process of this thing with their own eyes, they might have thought it was an alien baby, and because of what they saw with their own eyes, they were convinced that this thing was definitely a little monster!

The baby anemone’s blood-red eyes swept across everyone present, causing them to feel cold in their hearts.

The baby anemone suddenly jumped on Wen Zheng, snatched the blood anemone that he was holding in his hand, opened his mouth full of fangs, and began to chew.

With a mouthful, blood splattered everywhere, and the people in the waiting area were so frightened that they quickly exited. The smell of blood permeated the air.

Except for Xiao Hen and Ji Rong, those who remained inside weren’t human beings. They watched the baby anemone eat and didn’t feel afraid. Instead, they felt a sense of pride, seeing that their junior had a good appetite.

Xiao Hen frowned, grabbed Wen Qingling’s arm, and pulled him away.

The baby anemone, who was eating, suddenly threw away the food in his hand and rushed towards Xiao Hen with a roar. The white and tender hands turned into sharp black claws and aimed towards Xiao Hen’s neck!

Xiao Hen raised the knife to block it, and the sharp black claws caught the knife, causing a harsh sound and some spark.

“Kuibao²Kuibao literally translated to baby anemone. I’ll be using this instead for the name because it sounds less awkward..” Wen Qingling said.

The baby anemone jumped away and looked at Wen Qingling eagerly.

Wen Qingling gestured to the ground, “Don’t waste food.”

The baby anemone stared at Xiao Hen several times. The black claws turned into pink tender hands again, picked up the blood anemone on the ground, and were about to continue nibbling.

Jiang Lan hurriedly said, “Guai³Lovely, well-behaved, clever etc… a word used to compliment children. Bao, you can’t eat anything that falls on the ground. Grandma will wash it for you. You can eat it after washing.”

Jiang Lan’s heart was about to melt. Seeing the baby anemone was like seeing her own grandson. She took the baby anemone’s little hand to wash the blood anemone.

Wen Zheng followed suit, apparently also captivated by the baby anemone’s cuteness.

Feng Bin and Wen Bo were responsible for wiping off the blood and continuing the treatment.

Xiao Hen pulled Wen Qingling to a separate room, and then said, “What is that?”

Wen Qingling: “Baby anemone.”

Xiao Hen said in a low voice, “You brought out a new species!”

Wen Qingling looked at him, “I didn’t make it. It was his own evolution.”

Xiao Hen: “You’re knowingly feeding it. Don’t think I can’t tell.”

Wen Qingling blinked innocently: “I’m treating people.”

Xiao Hen stared at him for a while before saying, “Wen Qingling, what are you trying to do?”

Wen Qingling also looked at him and said, “I want to live with my parents and other people in the base, together.”

Xiao Hen was surprised, “I thought you had no feelings for humans.”

Wen Qingling: “…..”

His feelings for human beings seem to be getting weaker and weaker indeed.

It’s not just him, but his parents too. His father has always been the most tolerant toward his good elder sister, but this time he was able to respond indifferently, watching their family die without any intention of saving them at all.

Wen Qingling pondered, could it be that he would eventually lose all human emotions and become a complete zombie?

By then, will he be the enemy of mankind?

Xiao Hen said: “Don’t make a second one; it’s very dangerous. I can feel its sharp claws. It reminds me of the claws of a blood corpse.”

Wen Qingling’s eyes moved slightly. Could it be that his guess was true?

It seems that he needs to find an opportunity to verify it.

Wen Qingling came out again and saw Jiang Lan holding Kuibao. Kuibao had already been washed, wrapped in a piece of clothing, and even wore a hat, just like a human baby.

The appearance of Kuibao made Wen Qingling understand that the blood anemone should not be a plant but a creature that grows on the ground.

Wen Qingling stared at Kuibao for a while, then took him out, “I’m going out. I’ll leave this place to you guys.”

He was going to verify his guesses and, by the way, to see what skills Kuibao had.

He didn’t conduct the experiment in South City, but went to play with the zombies in East City.

Wen Qingling wrapped himself up with his spiritual power so as to not reveal his aura, he then threw Kuibao out, “Go play and bring back some crystal nucleus.”

Kuibao pounced on the head of a zombie, and sharp black claws appeared. One claw cut off half of the zombie’s head and scraped out the crystal nuclei, then he quickly jumped away and continued to hunt the second one.

Wen Qingling slowly followed behind; he was selecting the experimental subjects.

A white-collar female zombie in a uniform staggered over.

Wen Qingling stopped in his tracks, “You and I are destined. Let’s do an experiment.”

With a grasp in the air, the female zombie was dragged over. Wen Qingling bit his fingertip and dripped two drops of blood into the female zombie’s mouth.

The female zombie suddenly fell to the ground, twitching all over. The rotten flesh began to fall off, and the fresh new flesh regenerated rapidly.

The female zombie’s eyes became clear and her consciousness recovered. She stood upright, her body covered with sticky blood that dripped down and caused a very pungent odor.

The female zombie’s neck was almost folded to 90 degrees. She let out a shrill roar and then exploded into a pool of bloody spray.

Wen Qingling: “…..”

It’s confirmed. The blood corpse that likes to engage in large-scale events really stole the blood he left on the ground and evolved. He had no idea why it didn’t explode after turning into a blood corpse.

This female zombie, however, exploded. Was the power too strong?

Wen Qingling grabbed another zombie, this time giving only one drop.

The zombie turned into a blood corpse again. This time it lasted a longer time, but it still exploded.

Wen Qingling felt that the existence of a blood corpse should also be a very small chance, just like his existence.

And his parents, who drank his blood since they were still fine, should be related to blood.

Wen Qingling is the continuation of their bloodline. Wen Qingling’s blood will not cause harm to them, but it will be different to others.

After confirming the origin of the blood corpse, Wen Qingling did not plan to try again, and called Kuibao to prepare to go home.

Kuibao ran back, covered in filthy zombie blood that reeked of foul stench, and opened his arms to hug.

Wen Qingling decisively refused and let it go back by itself.

Little Kuibao carried a plastic bag aggrievedly and ran after him. The bag was filled with blood-stained crystal nuclei.
