Chapter 222: This Zombie Is under My Protection! 14

The child's home was truly dilapidated and small, resembling a tiny tent. Two tattered pieces of cloth barely formed an enclosure, offering little protection from the wind or cold. At a glance, one could see straight through it.

Yet, this kind of environment was the reality for most of the base's residents.

The woman recognized Su Tang. The moment she saw her approaching, she prepared to kneel, even before speaking.

Su Tang had recently developed a reflexive response to this constant kneeling. Before the woman could lower herself, Su Tang quickly stopped her.

"Don't kneel," she said with a slight headache.

"Benefactor, besides kneeling, I can't find any other way to express my gratitude," the woman said, wiping away her tears.

After the apocalypse, kneeling had become the common way to express thanks, as they had little else to offer as a proper gesture of gratitude.

"I've come to see young Ji. How is he doing?"

"He's well. Xiao Ke has regained consciousness and can even walk around now." As soon as she mentioned her son, Ji's mother's face lit up with joy. Since the zombie outbreak, almost all her relatives were gone, leaving only her son to depend on. If her son were gone too, she wouldn't know what reason she had to live.

"I came to see young Ji and brought him something." Su Tang handed over the instant noodles Shen Yi was carrying.

Ji's mother refused to accept them. If it weren't for them, her son, Ji Ke, wouldn't be alive now. How could she possibly accept their things?

Just then, Ji Ke woke up, having heard the commotion. He hesitated for a moment when he saw Su Tang. After his mother whispered a few words to him, his hesitation turned to excitement. "Sister! Why did you come to see me?"

The surgery had required the little boy's head to be shaved, leaving his forehead smooth and quite adorable.

"Well, I was passing by on some business, so I decided to drop in and see you."

Young Ji was still excited. Seeing his savior, he clung to her hand. "Sister, I'm a Level Five ability user! I can kill lots of zombies and find lots of cores. I'll take care of you!"

This immediately irked Shen Yi.

What was this? He hadn't even said he would take care of her, and this little brat was trying to get a head start?

Absolutely not.

He pretended to come over and nudged Su Tang aside, then looked down at the little radish. He hadn't even grown all his hair yet, and he wanted to compete with him for her? Dream on.

However, before he could speak, young Ji Ke asked, "Uncle, who are you?"

Shen Yi's face darkened. "You call her sister, and you call me uncle?"

Ji Ke replied, "Sister looks young and pretty, so of course, she's sister. But you're different." He was still young and couldn't quite articulate Shen Yi's dangerous aura, so he simply attributed it to age.

Seeing Shen Yi, who usually acted like a zombie, now bickering with a child like a petulant child, Su Tang almost burst out laughing. "Mr. Shen, don't forget you're here to recruit a disciple."

Ji's mother was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

As an adult, she could tell that Shen Yi was no ordinary person. Although her son had Level Five abilities, he was still a child.

"Xiao Ke, hurry up and kowtow to your master! Hurry!"

Ji Ke was reluctant. He wanted to take Su Tang as his master.

"Sister, can I take you as my master?"

Su Tang smiled. "Sister only knows how to use a scalpel, not how to fight zombies. But Uncle is different." She then looked at Shen Yi, teasing slightly, "Right, Uncle Shen?"

Shen Yi's face darkened. Uncle, my ass! There was only a three-year age difference between them. He didn't have a niece this old!

Although Ji Ke liked Su Tang, he understood that if he couldn't fight zombies, he couldn't protect his mother. So, he mustered his courage and knelt before Shen Yi.

"Master!"

The little boy's voice was crisp and clear. Shen Yi didn't make things difficult for him. "Get up." Then, noticing the scar on his forehead, he added, "Come find me when you're fully recovered."

On their way back after visiting the boy, Su Tang seemed to have found amusement.

"I didn't expect our Uncle Shen to have offspring now."

A disciple was also offspring. Technically, she wasn't wrong.

But Shen Yi wouldn't stand for it. She was relentless!

"Uncle Shen, be careful. That's the Ability Team Captain up ahead." As soon as she spoke, Shen Yi swiftly pulled her into a corner.

This was the West Street market, already chaotic, so the captain being taken away didn't cause any alarm.

Under absolute suppression of power, the captain couldn't move. Tension, fear, and various other emotions surfaced, making him tremble.

Su Tang said, "Captain, we just want to make friends with you. Can you promise not to make a sound?"

The captain nodded frantically, fearing that if he didn't, he would be thrown out to feed the zombies.

Satisfied, Su Tang signaled Shen Yi to release him. "Captain, have you considered changing jobs recently?"

Hearing this, the captain was stunned. "Changing jobs?"

Su Tang continued, "Yes, trash like Song Wenyi isn't worth following."

The captain didn't immediately agree, but looked at her warily. "Who are you?"

Su Tang replied, "Someone who wants to kill Song Wenyi." She then smiled. "Really, won't you consider it? I have potions that can temporarily increase ability levels. Although it's only temporary, it can still save your life in critical moments. If you don't like that potion, we have other options. There's bound to be one you'll like."

The captain had certainly heard of such potions, but they were extremely rare and mostly controlled by the major bases.

"Why should I trust you?"

Su Tang didn't hesitate and directly tossed him a potion.

"Here, as a token of my sincerity, I'll give you one."

The captain was stunned again. Such a precious potion, given away so casually?

Before he could recover, Su Tang continued, "Once you take my potion, you're mine. If you go back on your word, I'll feed you to the zombies."

This maneuver stunned the captain. So he was being coerced?

Shen Yi was displeased. What did she mean, "hers"? What did a girl need so many people for?

"Lin Yang!"

Su Tang said impatiently, "Uncle Shen, be good. Don't cause trouble."

"You're Lin Yang, Dr. Lin?" The captain was so shocked he was in a daze. The incident a while back had been quite a big deal. Those people had lost Dr. Lin and were still searching everywhere for her.

However, with zombies everywhere, although Lin Yang had awakened an ability, it couldn't help her fight zombies. Many people speculated, even lamented, that she might have become a zombie.

"The one and only," Su Tang said with a smile. "So, Captain, are you changing jobs?"

The captain looked at Su Tang. He had only heard of Lin Yang, never met her. If she truly was Lin Yang, following her would definitely be more promising than following Song Wenyi. However, who was the man beside her?

The security group naturally wouldn't release the news of the experimental subject's escape, so for now, Shen Yi was still safe.

Shen Yi followed the captain's gaze. Honestly, he was also curious how the young woman would introduce him.
