Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

Fu Weijun pushed the wheelchair over and saw the condition of the two women from the gap in the crowd, offering loud advice.

Upon hearing Fu Weijun’s voice, people parted to let him into the crowd.

”Dr. Fu, Dr. Fu, do we really have hope?”

Yu Jiaohua asked with a sobbing tone.

Fu Weijun nodded vigorously, facing two hopeful gazes, and said with great certainty, ”There is definitely hope. The research on the Corpse Transformation Inhibitor is a result brought over by Dr. Xie from the Cyan Dragon Corps. They have been studying it for a while, and I believe it’s promising. It’s up to your choice. If you decide to take a shot, the sooner the inhibitor is injected, the better!”

”Do we need to amputate the bitten area?”

Zhong Xiaoshan looked at Fu Weijun with some skepticism; she hadn’t heard about the Corpse Transformation Inhibitor, and she understood that Fu Weijun’s mind was all about research. When did he start caring about the members of the camp?

Perhaps he was just hoping the experiment would proceed smoothly, but regardless, if the inhibitor could work, it would be good.

Fu Weijun shook his head, then hesitated and said, ”Resolutely removing the infected area should help to some extent, but it’s up to your decision. No pressure!”

Cutting off the bitten area has a significant effect on delaying zombification; this is a confirmed matter, but not everyone has the resolve to do it.

Fu Weijun thought inwardly that if the inhibitor was effective, whether or not to amputate would be effective; if not effective, amputation wouldn’t help. The main thing is the desire to survive.

”Cut it off! Brother Huo, I want to live...”

Guo Fenfang’s survival instinct was strong. Since there was a glimmer of hope, what was she waiting for? She looked tearfully at Yang Liehuo, the meaning obvious—begging him to help amputate her arm.

”I’ll get the medical kit!” Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoshan immediately ran towards Little Lucky. Whether or not the amputation could effectively stop zombification, at least Guo Fenfang shouldn’t bleed to death!

”I...I just don’t, don’t want it. If the inhibitor is effective, then thank God; if it’s not, just let me die. I don’t want...I don’t want...”

Yu Jiaohua didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone knew she meant that she didn’t want to lose a leg. Perhaps because she was in front of Fu Weijun, it was hard to express that meaning.

”Jiaohua, don’t be foolish. This is the difference between life and death. Don’t be stubborn!”

Yang Liehuo was furious.

”Brother Huo, don’t force her. Given the current medical conditions, the risk of amputating from the thigh is not at all smaller than stopping zombification!”

Yu Qing pulled Yang Liehuo, sadly shaking her head, though she’s not a doctor, she knows some common sense.

”Then I also think we should take a shot. Sigh, no matter what... I’ll help Fenfang sort out the trouble first! Come, follow me over there!”

Yang Liehuo clenched his steel teeth and beckoned Guo Fenfang.

The atmosphere on site was at its most oppressive, with muffled cries emerging from the crowd. The Reserve Team women couldn’t suppress their inner sadness, lips pressed as they shed tears.

”No crying allowed!”

As a vice-captain, Lü Leiyang’s furious roar carried some weight and instantly quieted the scene.

”There’s nothing to cry about with zombies getting stronger; we just have to get stronger too. The reason we’re this way today is because we’ve been too weak. I don’t believe that if Brother Su were here, if the Yama Corps were here, those zombies could act up! You all are the Reserve Team; don’t understand reserve? Aim for the Yama Corps!”

Although his admonishing words didn’t boost morale, they stabilized the emotions on site.

Guo Dachao licked his lips, picked up a gun from the pile of corpses, walked to Lü Leiyang’s side, and patted his shoulder, saying, ”Don’t blame everyone. Nobody had an easy day today; nearly died here. Luckily Old Duan acted timely. Old Duan, I owe you a life!”

”Me too, Brother Duan, owe you a life.”

”Count me in. If it were three or five seconds slower, I’d be in trouble!”

”And me...”

”No, no...” Duan Wuhu quickly waved his hand, squeezing out an awkward smile, saying, ”At a time like this, who owes whom is meaningless. Everyone is striving to live well, just live well!”

The talk of owing a life indeed holds no significance, as no one knows how long anyone can live, whether there’ll be a chance to repay or if they’ll have the resolve to repay when the time comes; it’s all unknown.

Live well, a simple request, a simple thought...

”Ah...uh!”

Just then, an oppressive cry of pain came from behind a big tree. Everyone knew what was happening over there; wanting to help yet knowing they couldn’t really help, seeing Zhong Xiaoshan rushing over with the kit, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief...

But they were unaware that the real crisis was still lurking in the shadows!

While the Celestial Horse Island faced zombies, Zhang Su encountered issues too.

The convoy drove to a street away from Xinglong Hua Mansion, where Zhang Su surveyed the derelict district nearby. He noticed zombies wandering there, and in considerable numbers—just in the visible area, there were hundreds. Certainly, there were more behind walls!

”Something’s not right!”

Zhang Su slowed down, furrowing his brows, saying, ”Logically, during the rain, these zombies should be in a daze. Why is it different this time?”

Zheng Xinyu naturally also saw the zombies within the district, perplexed, she said, ”I want to know more: why are the zombies in a place so close to the camp not cleared... Hey, hey, are they sensing us?”
