CH 39

Sunnyshies: I changed Northern Gate to Northern Pass, I changed the other chapters with these words as well. So no need to worry getting confuse!

Here’s the chapter! 

How many people should there be in a county like this? Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands? Fang He has no idea. After the zombie virus outbreak, someone once calculated the survivor ratio, and it’s only less than 20% and this includes the people that turned into dead souls from the mouths of the zombies.

After killing zombies for several days, Fang He squatted on the roof of a certain hospital building. Looking at the densely packed zombies below, he felt almost irritable, and it feels like it was unending. However, Li Zhen said before that in order to shield the little dumpling, they have to continuously kill.

AD

Li Zhen sat next to him, then squeezed his kitten’s ears, “Taking a break?”

Fang He slouched down. For several days of non-stop killing zombies, he was going to collapse. His upgraded abilities were much stronger than his previous attack power, it’s just that although his attack power is stronger, he still can’t endure the mental torture. He had enough watching these lifeless crazy walking corpses everyday. 

With the passage of time, ordinary zombies no longer maintain the appearance of humans as they did at the beginning, and many of them begin to decay. Due to constant eating of living things, they gradually lose their lips, leaving only hideous teeth.

Therefore, facing these zombies for such a long time is also an endurance job.

But it is also fruitful, at least now there are no more zombies near the Northern Pass of the county, and most of the county’s survivors had moved to the Northern Pass.

It’s just that there are more and more people gathering there, so the temptation for Li Zhen is also very strong. So, for the sake of safety, Li Zhen never went in there again, and it was only Fang He, who was driven with curiosity, who would go over there to sneak around to take a look. He was fast and small in size, so most people wouldn’t notice him.

At the Northern Pass,  Fang He saw a temporary base for survivors that was completely different from his previous experience. The dozen or so people who had killed zombies with them in the first place gradually became the leaders of this group. But the phenomenon where mutants were in complete dominance that Fang He had seen before actually doesn’t exist here.

These dozen or so leaders gathered people and reasonably arranged personnel from patrols to clearing up the surroundings zombies, handling corpses of zombies, searching for supplies everywhere, and arranging supplies properly. They also began to demolish useless buildings around, and then used the materials to build temporary defensive walls.

Fang He lay lazily on the roof of the building, while Li Zhen surveyed the hospital. The number of zombies inside must be quite a lot. Moreover, he faintly felt that there seemed to be a mutant zombie inside the building, but it was a bit vague. Either because the zombie was not strong enough, or it was in a relatively deep place.

Fang He raised his eyes lazily, “Do you want to go in?” 

Li Zhen stretched out his hand and stroked his fur, “We don’t have enough tools to collect samples, we need to go in.”

Fang He knows that Li Zhen has been studying various zombie samples in the space recently, but every time Li Zhen has no expression on his face, and he will also destroy the samples after testing them, giving Fang He the feeling that those samples cannot be kept. Unlike the researchers he had met before, those people were so eager to save all the samples.

Fang He raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was already afternoon, but the clouds were so dense that it was probably going to rain…it was going to rain! Fang He stood up suddenly and looked at Li Zhen, “There is a problem!”

Li Zhen held Fang He down with his hand, then followed the direction of Fang He’s eyes, looking at the direction of the Northern Pass, he suddenly understood what Fang He meant. The zombie virus would be carried by the rain into the water source!

After most industrial systems were shut down, the tap water supply gradually collapsed. In the past few days, the people in this temporary base of the Northern Pass Farmer’s Market have relied on a well in the market to draw groundwater. After all, the bottled water collected is also limited, and it is basically left to the elderly and children by default.

Li Zhen reached out and picked up Fang He and jumped from the top of the building to the lower floor next to him. They quickly fell to the ground, completely ignoring the wandering zombies around, then ran in the direction of the temporary base.

Fang He followed Li Zhen’s hand and climbed onto his shoulder. He looked up at the sky, and crawled towards Li Zhen’s head, gasping Li Zhen’s hat steadily, his cat claws waved towards the sky. His upgraded abilities can smoothly let Fang He draw out a powerful whirlwind. 

This whirlwind was controlled by Fang He, and it swept in the direction of the Northern Pass, hoping to temporarily drag away the clouds over there. At least don’t let the rain shower pollute the water until they get there.

But they are now in the East Pass, some distance from the Northern Pass where the survivors gathered. Fang He was not sure whether his method would work. Fang He shook his wet fur, and said to Li Zhen, “My speed is faster, I’ll go first.”

“No!” Li Zhen flatly refused.

“Why?” 

“There is not enough time, you don’t need to take risks.” Li Zhen said bluntly. There are many people there. Although many people have seen Fang He, they could have mixed Fang He’s attack and his special attack together. At most, they will just think that his kitten is fast when he is running around, but they will not think that the zombies were dead under the paws of this cat.

Fang He’s cat paws gripped Li Zhen tightly. He could only activate his wind ability under Li Zhen’s feet to make him faster.

Fortunately, when Li Zhen suddenly broke into the area of the base, the rain had yet to fall here, and the rain clouds in the distance had not yet gathered here.

The sudden appearance of Li Zhen frightened the people inside. But after seeing Li Zhen’s iconic fully armed body, there was suddenly surprised, “It’s you! Are you the big brother who saved us?!” 

Li Zhen nodded slightly, “Call everyone here, I have something to say.”

“Oh, okay, wait, big brother, I’ll go!” The young man ran in excitedly, shouting as he ran, “Come on, our patron saint is here!”

Fang He lifted his paw on Li Zhen’s shoulder to hold his forehead, a patron saint…Li Zhen, a person on the verge of becoming a zombie, actually became the patron saint of the base.

People ran over quickly, and several children also ran over here noisily. After they all reached Li Zhen, they all shut up, then they looked up at Li Zhen in worship. 

With regard to the angle, Fang He also seemed to feel that the look of worship also fell on him…

Li Zhen endured his instinct to eat raw food, but behind his sunglasses, his eyes were already turning red. So he spoke quickly, and said, “The zombie virus will contaminate the water sources after it rains. From now on, no other water sources can be used except for bottled water.”

This news shocked everyone. The problem of water pollution has become a big issue, and water is inseparable from anywhere in daily life.

“Isn’t it okay to boil the water?” 

“Then if we cover the well, can’t we prevent pollution?”

“Can we just catch the water falling from the sky?”

People started talking in a rush.

Fang He approached Li Zhen’s ear and whispered, “In fact, boiling water for more than half an hour can kill the zombie virus.” 

“Sure?” Li Zhen asked in a low voice.

Fang He really wanted to call over his cat paw, would he say that if he was not sure?

Li Zhen then nodded, and quickly told everyone what Fang He had said.

Fang He shook the water from his tail on Li Zhen’s shoulder, when he looked up, he saw a child behind the crowd staring at him with surprise. Fang He stiffened, meow-wu, he wasn’t heard, right? No, when he talked to Li Zhen, his voice was very low, and the distance was so far away. 

Just when Fang He was seriously suspicious, Li Zhen had already finished speaking. He quickly turned and left immediately. No matter how hard the people behind him call him, if he stays here any longer, he might lose control.

Fang He turned his head from Li Zhen’s shoulder, looking at the child that was still staring at him, Fang He’s fur was about to explode.

One person and one cat quickly left the base. Fang He looked up at the sky. The clouds were really dense, the rain will probably take a long time. His wet cat paws stepped on Li Zhen’s head, he was considering whether to enter the space to hide from the rain.

At this moment, Li Zhen suddenly bent over, and filled the bottle with the little water accumulated on the cement road. 

Immediately afterwards, one person and one cat entered the space. Both Fang He and Li Zhen’s attack in long range, they don’t need to get close at all. So this is the first time they were in a sorry figure.

Fang He got into the bath towel, and stretched his head out of the bath towel to watch Li Zhen take off his clothes one by one. But Li Zhen wore a waterproof mountaineer suit, the inside was not wet at all. So unfortunately, Fang He, who was prepared seriously, didn’t see the figure he hadn’t seen for a long time. The dull Fang He did not notice that Li Zhen had intentionally or unintentionally, did not fully expose himself in front of him.

Li Zhen took off his coat and carried the bottle to do the test. Meanwhile, Fang He resentfully rolled and rubbed in the bath towel.

No one came to smoothen his fur, making Fang He suddenly feel uncomfortable. He got out of the bath towel, and ran to the place where Li Zhen was doing his experiment. 

When Fang He came in, Li Zhen was fiddling with an instrument and beckoned to him. Fang He ran over and jumped onto the table next to him.

“Li Zhen, I have a question.” Fang He couldn’t stand it anymore.

Li Zhen paused slightly and looked over, “Tell me about it.”

“You say, will we bring the virus in? Will it be dirty here after a long time?” 

Li Zhen put the prepared sample slides in. Then he told him the first half of the law, which explained that although it is very mysterious, this Peach-core Space is indeed a cave dwelling used by ancient human cultivators. With complicated formations, Li Zhen had difficulty in understanding it, but he can tell with Fang He with certainty, “No, to put it simply, the zombie virus outside the human body will be quickly purified by the space.”

“Then your sample?”

“It will soon become ordinary blood.”

Fang He’s eyes immediately lit up, “Then, isn’t this the solution to the zombie virus?” 

Li Zhen shook his head, “It’s just outside the human body. The virus that has penetrated into the human body and the dead body cannot be purified.”

Fang He flicked his tail in confusion, then Li Zhen stretched out his hand and rubbed his ears, “I will find a way.”

Fang He nodded and sat there watching Li Zhen fiddle with the instruments. He always felt that he had overlooked something. Then suddenly, Fang He stood up, “Little dumpling! We forgot about the little dumpling!”

Sunnyshies: We’ll meet Li Yue again! Oh, btw, remember that kid? the one whose eyes keep (+_+), making Fang He Σ(;Φ ω Φ)  flustered. Although he’s not important as our zombie little brother, still remember him. It will make things easily, since he will be mentioned in the far future…hahaha…
