Chapter 2661

"Actually, the best method is purification. But once purified, these souls might not be able to return to the Underworld. That would cause more trouble."

Zhu Yanyi sighed. Some actions, once taken, cannot be undone, especially when dealing with life. Therefore, she had to be extremely careful with every individual. Although there were only zombies here, they were once human.

If someone had intentionally turned them into zombies, it would be the ultimate sin.

Zhu Yanyi hoped the Evil Buddha was not such a person. Otherwise, things would be complicated.

She began to think about what herbs could heal the zombies. However, the medicine could not be ingested, as zombies would not swallow pills. After much thought, she concluded that only external application would work. This meant the medicine would need to absorb energy from the air.

But the air was currently thick with hostile energy. The only solution seemed to be purification, yet Zhu Yanyi knew purification was not feasible.

Knowing the drawbacks of purification, she decided to try treating the zombies with a spray. First, she needed to research the formula.

This was not a task that could be completed in a day or two. So, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan settled down in the former private clinic, now occupied by the Suiyuan Pharmacy.

They had chosen this small town because of the high number of zombies. It was easy for Zhu Yanyi to find subjects for her experiments. Moreover, because zombies were common here, no one paid much attention to their location.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan spent about ten days here.

Although they did not need to eat normal food, Yan Aohan still cooked delicious meals for Zhu Yanyi every day. The Suiyuan Pharmacy lacked nothing, and their refrigerator was stocked with plenty of supplies.

One day, after finishing her research, Zhu Yanyi planned to rest in the evening. She started organizing herbs in the courtyard when she heard a knock on the door.

"A knock?" Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yan Aohan put down the newspaper he was reading, stood up, and went to open the door.

There were five or six people at the door. Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi recognized them immediately. This was the group they had met in the zombie-free town. There had been ten people then, but now only five or six remained. They did not know what had happened to the others.

Seeing the door open, the team leader, who was called "Boss," was surprised to find living people here. He hurriedly said, "Excuse me for disturbing you. I saw the sign 'Suiyuan Pharmacy' and knew this was a drugstore. My companion is injured."

"Come in," Yan Aohan said, scanning the group before stepping aside to let them enter.

After everyone had entered, Yan Aohan closed the door.

The group was stunned by what they saw in the courtyard. There was no smell of blood, nor the anxiety typical of the apocalypse. There was only peace. Being here, their hearts felt a calmness they had never experienced before.

"This place is so unique," said the man known as "Rascal."

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "It’s not that unique. This is our home. Naturally, I take good care of the environment." She then walked over to the injured person, who was known as "Superman."

Zhu Yanyi flicked her finger slightly. A green aura emerged from her fingertip and wrapped around Superman’s wrist. She said, "Your internal injuries are quite severe. How did this happen?"

"We encountered a Level 5 zombie," the team leader explained.

"A Level 5 zombie?" Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. "The highest level around here is Level 3. How could there be a Level 5?"

The team leader smiled bitterly. "Indeed, the highest level nearby is Level 3. But on the top floor of the trade market building not far from here, there is a Level 5 zombie."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows and said to Yan Aohan, "I haven’t dissected a zombie above Level 3 yet. Since there is one, why don’t you go catch it for me?"

Yan Aohan nodded. "I’ll go now." He then left the house.

"That’s too dangerous," Rascal urged quickly. "Don’t go casually. That place is really dangerous."

"There are very few safe places in this world. Almost everywhere is dangerous. But this danger is nothing to us. I don’t consider it dangerous for me," Yan Aohan said calmly.

Indeed, it was not dangerous for Yan Aohan, and his speed was very fast.

Mainly, Yan Aohan did not feel comfortable leaving Zhu Yanyi alone with other strange men. She was afraid of getting jealous.

Zhu Yanyi ignored Yan Aohan’s situation. She went to the side, took out a medical kit, and retrieved a jade bowl from it. Then, she took a pill from a bottle and poured some water from a small porcelain bottle into the bowl. The pill dissolved upon contact with the water. She handed the jade bowl to Superman. "Drink this."

Superman looked at Zhu Yanyi, then drank it. She immediately felt a warm current flow through her body. As the current passed, she clearly felt her internal injuries healing.

"How are you?" the team leader asked Superman with concern.

Superman replied directly, "Boss, my injury seems to be healed."

The team leader did not doubt her. She only thanked Zhu Yanyi. "Thank you. I don’t know how to address you."

"My surname is Zhu. My husband’s surname is Yan. You can call me Sister Yan or Sister Zhu," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Your internal injury was severe, but fortunately, you arrived in time. Also, your entry into the Suiyuan Pharmacy is a form of fate. Otherwise, I would not have saved you."

After Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, the team leader said, "Thank you, Sister Yan."

Although the woman in front of them looked young, the team leader could see that she was extraordinary. The steadiness in her eyes confirmed that her actual age was greater than her appearance suggested.

"My name is Zhou Kun. The injured one is An Guinong. The other three, from left to right, are Zhang Genshen, Qin Han, and Duo Mulei," Zhou Kun introduced himself and his teammates briefly. "We are members of the Haiblan Team. We originally had five more members, but they were killed by the Level 5 zombie for our safety."

There was grief in Zhou Kun’s eyes, a remembrance of his fallen comrades.

"I see your special abilities are quite good, all Level 3 and Level 4. If you work together, although you cannot defeat a Level 5 zombie, you should be able to protect yourselves and retreat, right?" Zhu Yanyi said seriously.
