26 Zombie Queen has the Biggest Thigh of All 2 (1/2)

The child in question that Lei Han would pick up was currently only seven years old. Because of his young age, after his parents had died from zombies, no one was willing to help him as he would only be a burden. As a result, he had to fend for himself. In the original timeline, although he hated zombies and would constantly massacre them, he also had a distrust of humans and would never go out of his way to help them.

But, in this current timeline, because Lei Han would rescue him from zombies and proceed to take care of him, he would treat the male lead like an elder brother and mentally depend on him. Yin Mei, of course, could not have this happening.

Actually, only those in the future would know this, but children were this zombie world's most precious resources. It may be because children were more susceptible to the evolution that humans received, as those under ten at the time of the apocalypse and those born during the apocalypse all had extremely strong and unique abilities. As for this child (whose name was Qin Shuang), he had the ability to manipulate blood. By hardening it, he was able to use it as any weapon that he could imagine, and in the future, he would often use it like strings, initially earning him the title of the Red Spider.

In addition, his power actually mutated later on and let him actually heal his own wounds by drinking the blood of others. Even wounds from zombies that would normally become infected could be healed without any worry of the zombie virus later. But, this was also the reason that many people feared him in the former timeline, as they then started to call him the Vampire King.

Yin Mei personally felt these names were a little too edgy for her, but his ability was definitely top class. One of them alone was enough to make people green with envy, but he actually possessed both of them? Wasn't that a little bit cheating?

But many kids in the apocalypse would have given birth to such fearsome powers, if only they had been able to survive the initial years. But the amount who could survive were really too little. Yin Mei even had half a mind to just gather around all the children she could find and form an apocalypse orphanage special forces team child version!

Actually, that wasn't too bad of an idea?

Once this idea entered her head, it didn't leave. After all, no matter what, as long as the child was younger than 10 years of age when the apocalypse started, it was guaranteed that they would have a very good ability. Plus, children tended to be very adaptable in comparison to adults. Yin Mei felt that it was a pretty good idea, aside from the fact that she would have to babysit a bunch of kids for several years in the apocalypse.

Three days later, the group took camp in an abandoned parking lot. The leader started organizing a group to go refresh supplies, as well as another group to clear out the parking lot of zombies. ”Eh? Hey, isn't that a kid?” One of the three girls of the group (which included Yin Mei) said, looking down from the third level they were on to the street, where a young child was running from several zombies, occasionally turning around to shoot at them.

”He's here,” Yin Mei mumbled. It was the perfect chance to save him before Lei Han even had the chance to realize his identity.

”What?” The girl who had spoken turned around, but Yin Mei had already disappeared from her side, going through her backpack for bullets. ”Wait, Lu Mei, you can't be thinking of rescuing that kid right?” Her voice grew colder, drawing the attention of the others.

”There's no way we can afford to take care of a brat!” A man said, glaring at Yin Mei.

But she didn't pay attention to them, checking the bullets in her gun before standing up. ”That's fine, since I'll take care of him. If he's trouble, just cut him off later. I'll even personally obtain the supplied to feed him.” Yin Mei said, as she began to walk away.

The girl, whose name was An Yu, furrowed her brow. ”Why in the world would you bother to spend so much effort on a brat?”

Lei Han also wanted to know the answer to this question. His eyes narrowed, looking at Yin Mei. He felt like she hadn't done such a thing in the past, but since it had been ten years, he couldn't be quite sure. But with Lu Mei's personality, he felt this was very out of character for her.

”Because the children are the future,” Yin Mei said softly, a wicked grin on her face. Though she was dirty and covered in dust and blood, not having taken a shower in at least a week or two, she still looked pretty. Just, the gun that she hefted in her hand made any other guys think twice. It was still the start of the apocalypse, so most people still had some semblance of morals left. But Lei Han predicted it wouldn't be long before someone tried raping one of their group's female members. Aside from the pretty Lu Mei, An Yu was also a ravishing beauty, with a great body and foreign features, her blond hair and blue eyes making her look like a doll (just that her personality was so fierce that it deterred the other guys).

Yin Mei continued, going down the levels one by one. They had taken care of all the zombies on the way up, so there wasn't anything to shoot just yet.

The group watched from the fourth floor, curious. They saw the kid hide behind some cover and continue shooting at the zombies, but it looked like the recoil was too strong for him and he was unable to properly hit their heads.

It was at this time that Yin Mei rushed out, grabbing the kid in her arms while shooting at the zombies. Because she was in a hurry, she was also unable to obtain a proper head shot, and the zombies followed her into the parking lot. The group shook their heads.

Inside the parking lot, Yin Mei was dragging Qin Shuang by his hand up the stairs, already feeling out of breath, her muscles burning. ”F*ck, this goddamn weak *ss body,” she cursed, feeling that she was actually very privileged in her first world, possessing the high quality body of a rich cultivator that practically never got tired. ”Dammit, if that b*tch didn't kill me, I wouldn't have to suffer like this,” Yin Mei continued pouring out all manners of curses as she continued forcing herself to move, though her words confused the young boy that she was dragging along. He wondered what she meant by having been killed? Wasn't she still alive in front of her? Or was his understanding of being killed different from hers?

They made it to the third floor before Yin Mei had to stop and rest. She couldn't bring it to the fourth floor, where the group was, as they would definitely blame and ridicule her for being unable to take care of the zombies herself and instead dragging them over to them. She had to take care of them here. Yin Mei looked around and found a suitable hiding place, stuffing the brat into a small hole formed by a broken piece of concrete and a corner. Too bad he hadn't awakened his ability yet. Well, even if he did, if he didn't know how to use it, it still wouldn't help.
