Chapter 216: This Zombie Is under My Protection! 8

Shen Yi and Su Tang encountered quite a few zombies along the way, including a Level Two and a Level Four. Fortunately, they managed to avoid any serious danger. The girls they rescued didn't cause any trouble either, obediently staying in the vehicle as instructed.

The safe zone wasn't a charity, so entry required a fee, payable in various energy cores or supplies. The girls all had these. Compared to ordinary people, those with abilities were clearly more welcome, not only being exempt from any fees but also being allocated housing.

Shen Yi didn't reveal his Devouring ability. Instead, based on the Lightning ability he'd previously absorbed, he pretended to be a Level Five ability user.

As for Su Tang, she had brought a large bag of medicine. As soon as she mentioned being a doctor, she was also exempted from the fee and, benefiting from Shen Yi's status, was even assigned to the same apartment as him.

The apartment was simply furnished, but it had all the necessities. The only problem was that it was a one-bedroom apartment.

Su Tang said, "The living room is spacious and bright. I won't fight with Mr. Shen over it."

For Shen Yi, it didn't really matter where he slept, but he just couldn't stand seeing this woman so comfortable.

"Since it's so nice, let's give it to Dr. Lin," he said, walking straight towards the bedroom.

The bedroom was simple, with only a single bed and a small wardrobe. Shen Yi sat on the bed, lazily looked up, and saw Su Tang still standing at the doorway. He curled his lip. "Dr. Lin, if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind sharing the bed with you."

The response he received was the sound of the door slamming shut.

Seeing her annoyance, for some reason, he actually felt a bit of pleasure.

He had lied to Su Tang earlier when he said he didn't get tired. Even the zombies outside became less active during the day. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for so long, and his body was already nearing its limit. He just didn't want to reveal his weakness to her. He didn't trust her.

Su Tang returned to the living room, fuming. The apartment was supposedly simply furnished, but it was actually quite shabby. The living room chairs, for example, were crudely made. Sitting on them for a short while was fine, but sleeping on them, she had a feeling, would be disastrous.

But if she didn't sleep on the chair, she couldn't sleep on the floor, could she? It was a cement floor, equally disastrous.

Her face darkened, and she finally decided to go out.

"Doggy, is there anything for sale here? Or a place to trade for supplies?"

These days, medicine was second only to energy cores in value. When she entered the safe zone, her medicine hadn't been confiscated but returned to her. So, if she wanted to trade for something, it shouldn't be difficult.

The System replied, "Yes, there's a trading area in the West District."

Following the System's guidance, Su Tang quickly found the place. Many people had set up stalls, offering a variety of goods. Most weren't worth buying, except for a few, such as cold weapons.

Compared to firearms, which became useless once they ran out of bullets, she ultimately chose a dagger.

"Boss, can I trade medicine for this?"

The stall owner seemed to be an ability user. Compared to the other sallow-faced people, his complexion was relatively healthy. Ordinary people could only do the most menial labor in the safe zone, while ability users could go out on missions to kill zombies and collect energy cores. Correspondingly, their work was also more dangerous. So, upon hearing the word "medicine," he immediately looked up.

"Trade! What kind of medicine do you have?"

Su Tang replied, "I have some common medicines like cold medicine, anti-inflammatories, and painkillers."

Seeing the dagger in her hand, the owner, fearing she might change her mind, immediately said, "Anti-inflammatories! Five pills for this dagger!"

"Deal." Su Tang returned the dagger to him and gave him an address. "My medicine is at the apartment. Come after six o'clock."

After buying the dagger, she was about to see if there were any blankets or similar items when she heard a wail. A woman was crying hysterically, but the passersby seemed already numb to such scenes, not even sparing her a glance.

She frowned and walked over, just in time to see a young man kneeling on the ground, performing CPR on a child no older than ten.

The young man looked familiar. Looking closer, she finally remembered. Wasn't this the young researcher who had been her assistant?

The woman crying on the ground beside them was presumably the child's mother. Half an hour later, the child, whose face had turned blue, finally showed signs of reviving.

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

The mother tearfully thanked the young man, about to kneel.

The young man was quite embarrassed, shyly scratching his head. Then, turning his head, he saw Su Tang standing not far away. He was first startled, then excitedly jumped up. "Boss, how did you get out?"

Su Tang tapped him on the head. "What do you mean 'how did I get out'? Was I in prison or something?"

"No, it's just strange that those people would let you out."

The young man's name was Li Ya, a rare soul with a pure heart. Although knowledgeable, the research institute was a cruel place. Several times, unable to bear it, he secretly helped the test subjects. Over time, he was almost thrown out to the zombies. In the end, it was Su Tang who spoke up, saving his life.

Su Tang trusted Li Ya. "Do you remember Test Subject Number One?"

Li Ya nodded.

"He got me out."

Li Ya was stunned, then exclaimed, "Whoa!"

Su Tang raised an eyebrow, her expression calm, but it silenced him.

The young man's face turned red, and after a while, he finally managed to squeeze out, "Boss, you're awesome!" Then, he seemed to remember something, pointing to the child who had just woken up. He said to Su Tang, "Boss, can you save this child?"

He chattered on, explaining that the child had awakened an ability, a Level Five at that, but had a brain tumor. Before the apocalypse, the hospital had diagnosed it as benign, but they hadn't had time to operate before the outbreak. Now, after two years, they didn't know if it had become malignant.

Su Tang looked at the pale child. "Is there a medical room here?"

Cranial surgery required a sterile operating room. Otherwise, if they weren't careful, even if the tumor was removed, a bacterial infection could still be fatal.

Li Ya said, "Boss, do you remember Musa? She's in charge of medical care at the safe zone. Borrowing the operating room should be possible. It's just that neither she nor I are experts in this area, and we wouldn't dare perform brain surgery."

Su Tang had nothing else to do, so she agreed. However, since she was going to perform surgery, she might not be able to return before six o'clock, so she asked Li Ya to bring five anti-inflammatory pills.

The safe zone's medical room was too rudimentary, lacking many instruments. Fortunately, Su Tang had the System, which monitored the child's vital signs throughout the surgery. After the operation, although tired and hungry, she was relieved that it was successful.

However, while the surgery was a success, Test Subject Number One was about to explode.

Shen Yi woke up and didn't see Su Tang. His first reaction was that he had been tricked again.

His entire being radiated a chilling aura. When he finally found her, he didn't even look at his surroundings. He raised his foot, intending to kick the door down, but the conversation inside stopped him.

Li Ya was saying, "Boss, I knew your indifference back at the research institute was fake. If it weren't for you, I would have been thrown to the zombies long ago."

"By the way, Boss, how's your relationship with Test Subject Number One? Does he know that you've killed almost all of those who harmed him?"

Su Tang replied, "You're so noisy."
