I Opened a Clinic in the Apocalypse

Chapter 122

TL: Moonlit

Xiao Hen crawled out of the ruins. The spacious street was quiet, with no survivors in sight. Even the Undead, corpse monsters, and corpse slaves were nowhere to be found. It seemed that they had been scared away by the giant Arctic zombie bear.

Next to the Arctic zombie bear stood a man who was tall and strong, with a high nose and deep-set eyes. He didnt look like a Chinese person.

The man seemed satisfied when he saw Xiao Hens appearance. He spoke fluent English and asked, Are you Xiao Hen from the Third District?

Xiao Hen took a breath, looking a bit disheveled. He wasnt actually injured. Fortunately, it was Xiao Hen who took the hit. If it were any other esper, they would have had several broken bones.

Xiao Hen swung his long knife and replied in fluent Mandarin, Yes, I am. And who are you?

Xiao Hen had no idea when this person appeared in Central Mega City. Judging from his posture and the fierce aura surrounding him, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Leaving an uncontrollable foreigner in the Mega City with such formidable strength Did Central Mega City want him dead faster?

Cedrick introduced himself, Cedrick.

Xiao Hen didnt need a translation. He understood what Cedrick was saying, and fortunately, Cedrick could understand him as well. However, neither of them showed any intention of communicating in the others language unless one of them compromised.

Xiao Hen said, I dont know you.

Cedrick replied, You dont need to know me. After tonight, there will be no Xiao Hen in the Central Mega City.

Xiao Hen asked, Youre not alone, are you? Where are your companions?

The flying corpse bees that had been following him were nowhere to be seen, and Xiao Hen was very concerned about that.

Cedrick should be a summoner-type esper, so there must be someone else controlling the flying corpse bees. Dual-type espers were not common, and in the entire country, only Wen Qingling had that ability.

Cedrick grinned, revealing a cruel smile. They are also on a mission.

Xiao Hen said, Coming to another country for a mission, it seems like you dont take us seriously.

Cedrick showed an exaggerated expression of surprise on his face. Were employed by someone to destroy the hopes of the major districts Hmm, in your words, are the children your hope?

Xiao Hen paused, thinking about how Hua Fei was the first to be attacked by the flying corpse worms before she thought of using Wen Qingling and the others as a shield. Now, it was himself. Could it be that their target was the younger generation of the major districts?

Soon, the truth revealed the answer to Xiao Hen.

They had just left the Fifth District and were currently within the Second District. If they continued east, they would enter the Third District. At this moment, purple lightning illuminated the night in the Fifth District. The one with the lightning esper ability was undoubtedly Lei Jiang and Lei Yuxiao. Judging from the current situation, Lei Yuxiao was more likely to be under attack.

Lightning-type espers had great power and speed. With the support of the entire Fifth District, Lei Yuxiaos esper level was not low. It wouldnt be easy to defeat him. But looking at Cedricks reaction, he seemed completely unconcerned about his companions situation.

Were they too confident, or did they really possess such strength?

Xiao Hen asked, One more question. Did the First District hire you?

Cedrick patted the massive Arctic zombie bear beside him and replied, Professional ethics must be followed, so I cant reveal the employers information. But since you guessed it, I wont hide it from you. The others are just incidental. You and Wen Qingling are our main targets.

Xiao Hen raised an eyebrow and said, You didnt let those bugs go after him, did you?

Wen Qinglings strength was undeniable, and Xiao Hen wasnt worried at all. If the person controlling the corpse bees really went after Wen Qingling, there was no other possibility than delivering food to him.

Cedrick said, I heard hes very strong, so we prepared more than one gift for him. After Im done with you, Ill personally see how he dies.

Cedrick slapped the Arctic zombie bear forcefully and commanded, Bobby, its time for you to feast. Go!

The Arctic zombie bear roared and pounced toward Xiao Hen.

Even before its evolution and infection, the Arctic bear was already a top predator among the animal kingdom. Now, there was no need to say more. With its size and level of decay, it was undoubtedly an intermediate-level evolved zombie beast, similar to the intermediate-level evolved corpse tiger!

Cedricks ability to summon an intermediate-level evolved zombie beast showcased his skills.

Xiao Hen didnt directly confront it. His figure disappeared from the original spot and reappeared behind Cedrick. He swung his knife horizontally, but Cedrick seemed prepared and leaped forward. The Arctic zombie bears pounce was also a diversion. It turned around and struck with its claw. Xiao Hen blocked with his horizontal blade, but with a loud clang, his long knife shattered and fell to the ground. Xiao Hen immediately disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in the distance.

Cedrick mounted the back of the Arctic zombie bear. He pulled out a gun from his hand and began spraying it toward Xiao Hen. Startled, Xiao Hen quickly took cover, but the massive body of the Arctic zombie bear was already closing in. With its immense strength, a single swipe could smash through a wall.

The coordination between Cedrick and the Arctic zombie bear made them incredibly difficult to deal with. Xiao Hen had no choice but to continuously evade.

What surprised him even more was that Cedrick hadnt had a weapon in his hand just a moment ago. Where did his weapon come from? Xiao Hen didnt believe he had spatial abilities.

Xiao Hen decided not to continue using spatial movement and started sprinting through the streets. He continuously stacked spatial blades in his hand. The Arctic zombie bear relentlessly chased him from behind. Fortunately, Xiao Hen wasnt an ordinary esper, and his speed was fast. Even though the Arctic zombie bears speed was astonishing, it could only trail behind him.

The only problem was Cedrick. His gun skills were formidable, making it difficult for Xiao Hen to evade each time.

The collaboration between the Arctic zombie bear and Cedrick left Xiao Hen no room to catch his breath.

When Xiao Hen stopped and turned around, clutching the spatial blades he had stacked to the limit, Cedrick seized the opportunity when Xiao Hen used his skill and opened fire.

The gigantic spatial blade was invisible as it swung toward the Arctic zombie bear. Xiao Hen evaded simultaneously, and the bullet grazed his neck, leaving a burst of fresh red blood in its wake. The Arctic zombie bear was also hit, and black blood was sprayed.

The gun appeared in Xiao Hens hand, and he unleashed a rapid burst of shots toward the man and the bear

Wen Qingling, who was leisurely absorbing the beast crystals, suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed that Xiao Hen was injured and scanned the area with his spiritual power. He realized that Xiao Hen was being pursued and attacked by Cedrick and the Arctic zombie bear. There was no sign of Mi Yan and Luo Fengjue nearby, so they must have left earlier.

The destructive power of the Arctic zombie bear was immense. In their battle area, there were no living creatures left. Cars and buildings were destroyed. Survivors hiding inside buildings tightly covered their mouths and noses, preventing themselves from screaming. Making any sound would mean certain death.

Wen Qingling glanced at the purple beast crystal in his hand, put it back in his backpack, stood up, and headed toward the edge.

Molly and the redhead, who had arrived just in time, had successfully reunited with their companions. They learned that Li City covered with the wood-type ability belonged to Wen Qingling, their mission target. Being able to use such a large-scale wood-type ability indicated his considerable strength, surpassing someone like Lin Wenjie.

To show their importance tooward Wen Qingling, others were only assigned one person, while Wen Qingling had three.

They were confident that they could capture Wen Qingling in one fell swoop.

Molly reminded, Hes coming down, get ready!

Wen Qingling reached the edge of the wooden roof and effortlessly leaped down. Suddenly, a wall of fire rose from below, rushing toward Wen Qingling. But while still in mid-air, he stepped on the wooden wall, maneuvering sideways, and landed safely on the ground while the wall of fire dissipated.

As Wen Qingling stood up, a swarm of dark corpse bees had already surrounded him, instantly covering him.

The redhead felt delighted, Weve got him!

Once infected by the flying corpse worms even for a moment, it was certain death as there were no effective solutions to the zombie virus. If Wen Qingling became infected, their mission would be considered complete.

Alen, who had been hiding in the shadows all along, also breathed a sigh of relief. The flying corpse bees had reached Wen Qingling, and as the controller, he was well aware of it. Thats why he dared to come out.

Alen was skilled in long-range attacks but not so much in close combat. He would always hide in the shadows and command the flying corpse bees to besiege his opponents. His flying corpse bees had never failed him before, and this time was no exception.

The excited redhead jumped out, holding a large fireball in his hand, and shouted, Alen!

Alen understood that the redhead wanted to deliver the final blow to Wen Qingling. He tried to recall the flying corpse bees, but to his surprise, he found that he couldnt control them anymore. Just as he was about to stop the redhead, he heard Molly shout, Watch out!

The large fireball thrown by the redhead couldnt be recalled, and the flying corpse bees that couldnt be controlled suddenly condensed into a black sphere and smashed toward Alen.

Alen:

This was much more powerful than throwing a beehive.

The black sphere exploded in the air, and the densely packed flying corpse worms instantly engulfed Alen.

Wen Qingling stomped his foot, and a wooden wall rose from the ground, blocking the incoming fireball.

Wen Qingling reached out and the uncontrollable flying corpse bees that had engulfed Alen were directed towards the redhead. Before the redhead could understand what was happening, the flying corpse bees had already overwhelmed him. He retaliated with another fireball in his hand, and the flying corpse bees were immediately engulfed in flames.

Alen, covered in corpse bees, coughed up blood and slumped to the ground. All of his flying corpse bees had been burned by the redhead.

The redhead:

Before the redhead could recover his senses, Wen Qingling had already charged toward him. Wooden spikes protruded from the ground, and the redhead hurriedly leaped and dodged. He pressed something at his waist, and a wooden assault rifle appeared in his hand. He started firing at Wen Qingling, forcing him to retreat.

Wen Qingling leaped high and landed on the roof of a nearby car, a look of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

He noticed something attached to the redheads waist. It seemed like he had pressed it earlier, and thats how the assault rifle appeared.

An advanced gadget, it seemed?

Wen Qingling was very interested in that thing, so he chased after the redhead.

The redhead cursed and turned to run.

He ran towards where the leader was!

With Wen Qingling being led away, Molly dared to show up. She ran to Alens side and found that his face was covered in bumps, and black blood was flowing out of him, indicating that he had been infected.

Lets go! Molly helped Alen up and rushed towards a car on the side of the road.

The redhead ran as fast as he could, but his speed was nowhere near that of Wen Qingling. He could only keep pressing the thing at his waist, taking out one grenade after another and throwing them behind him. The street was filled with constant explosions. The redhead occasionally threw fireballs and firewalls at Wen Qingling, forcing him to dodge and buy time.

Cedrick and Xiao Hen, who were still in the midst of their battle, naturally heard the increasingly close explosions.

Cedrick was puzzled, but then he suddenly heard Mollys telepathic message, Boss, Alens flying corpse bees have turned against him. Peddy is leading Wen Qingling in your direction. Hes quite mysterious. Should we retreat first?

Cedrick remained silent, his gaze dark and fixed on Xiao Hen. Xiao Hens strength exceeded his expectations as well. He initially thought it would be easy to deal with Xiao Hen since he was a B-rank summoner with a polar corpse bear as his summon, making him almost invincible among the same rank. Even though Xiao Hen was also a B-rank esper, Siddrick was confident he could defeat him.

But the reality was that they had been fighting for a while now, and Xiao Hen was still lively and energetic, with only a few minor scratches and no fatal wounds.

Cedrick felt that it wasnt Wen Qingling who was troublesome, but Xiao Hen.

But so what? He was confident that he could kill Xiao Hen before Wen Qingling arrived.

Cedrick patted the polar corpse bear, and it immediately went berserk, charging toward Xiao Hen. Cedrick pressed something at his waist, switching to an assault rifle and firing at Xiao Hen.

Xiao Hen had been observing Cedrick, wanting to know where all his weapons came from. Seeing him pressing something at his waist, he took a closer look and also took out an assault rifle, engaging in a firefight with Cedrick.

Cedrick had the help of his mount, while Xiao Hen didnt. He could only attack and dodge at the same time, with both sides evenly matched.

Cedrick grew furious. Summon Peddy and Barut!

Molly obeyed and immediately sent a telepathic message to her two companions, telling them to quickly come and join forces to take down Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen.

Their chosen ambush location was cleverly within the range of Mollys psychic coverage.

In the black poisonous mist, a young boy stood leisurely, allowing the mist to spread without harming him in the slightest. He enclosed himself in an independent space, preparing to have some fun with his assigned target when he heard Mollys call.

The boy scoffed and turned to leave.

Mo Shuang walked out of the poisonous mist and followed the boy. The buildings on both sides of the street suddenly blurred and then came crashing down onto the street.

Mo Shuang quickly evaded, running amidst the collapsing buildings

Lei Yuxiao was covered in lightning, engaged in a fierce battle with a giant wolf. The wolfs body shimmered with purple lightning as it circled Lei Yuxiao, and Lei Yuxiao had multiple injuries. He didnt dare let his guard down as the wolf was very powerful.

The wolf circled around and suddenly leaped, pouncing towards Lei Yuxiao, its sharp fangs aiming for his neck. Lei Yuxiao had been holding a lightning ball in his hand all along, and when he saw the wolf move, he immediately crushed it.

Explosive lightning!

The lightning burst rapidly, spreading like a spiderweb in the surrounding space. The pouncing wolf was electrified, absorbing the lightning power in the air. It lunged at Lei Yuxiao, but Lei Yuxiao, surrounded by a field of lightning, had already appeared several meters away.

The wolf was about to attack again when it heard Mollys call.

The wolf stared fiercely at Lei Yuxiao, feeling somewhat unwilling, but the situation with their leader was even more urgent.

The wolf didnt linger and turned to rush toward where their leader was.

Lei Yuxiao was panting heavily. His energy consumption was immense, and his abilities were on the verge of being depleted. If it werent for his lightning ability, he might have died here today.

Looking at the soldiers killed on the ground, Lei Yuxiao clenched his teeth and got into a military vehicle, pursuing the direction in which the wolf had left.

The warriors from the Fifth District outside the battlefield, seeing Lei Yuxiao leave, followed suit.

They werent a match for the wolf, and a few soldiers who were protecting Lei Yuxiao had already been killed. Lei Yuxiao didnt want to cause more casualties, so he had the soldiers retreat while he dealt with the wolf.

The wolf clearly wanted to kill him, and now that it suddenly left, the situation was unusual. Lei Yuxiao naturally had to follow and see what was going on.
