Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 407 Little Stone and Little Ginseng

"What do you mean? Are you so sure I'll turn into a zombie?!"

The little ginseng was getting angry. He was a demon, after all; zombie toxins were nothing to him and wouldn't cause any serious consequences. Besides, the blood flowing from his wounds was still bright red—couldn't these people see that?!

"Look at what you're saying! You're just a level three ability user. Your body can't possibly resist the virus of a level four zombie. Becoming a zombie is inevitable. We don't want to wipe you out completely, so please leave immediately!"

Another unfamiliar superhuman spoke up.

Some superhumans who still had a shred of conscience avoided Little Ginseng's gaze but did not speak up to stop him, presumably because they agreed with everyone's suggestion.

Little Ginseng simply couldn't believe that these humans were so heartlessly driving him away. He had protected them for so long, and this was the result he received.

He glanced at Yu Liu behind him with a hint of grievance, but when he met her calm gaze, his mood suddenly calmed down.

"Fine, I'm leaving."

What's the point of staying? Why cling to this place like this? He's a powerful demon who has taken human form; he can't be so shameless. Besides, he has to protect the stone, so he has no time to waste on these humans who are turning against him.

Having come to some understanding, Little Ginseng, clutching her wound, protected Yu Liu as they left the convoy.

"...Is this really a good thing for us?"

As the two figures walked away, one of the superhumans asked in a low voice.

"do not know."

Some people gave uncertain answers.

“What’s wrong with him?” The squad leader turned his head and stared intently at the uncertain man. “Don’t forget, he has already been scratched by a zombie. It’s only a matter of time before he becomes a zombie. And if he becomes a zombie, he will inherit his abilities. We just went through a big battle, and the convoy can’t afford to lose any more time.”

"Yes, I understand."

The man nodded somewhat awkwardly, clearly ashamed of his hesitation.

Seeing Little Ginseng leave with Jade Willow, the ordinary people in the convoy were all puzzled. In their hearts, the guardian of this convoy was not these superhumans, but Little Ginseng.

They were conquered by the enemy's overwhelming military force.

Seeing that the superhumans had all returned to their places, they exchanged glances and, through eye contact, nominated someone who was quite famous among ordinary people, and slowly approached the military vehicle.

"Major Wang, may I ask if I may ask... where did that gentleman go? Why did he leave with his girlfriend?"

He had a vague sense of the outcome, but he still clung to a sliver of hope.

"He's gone." Major Wang looked directly at the other person, his eyes filled with grief: "He was scratched by a zombie, a level four zombie virus that no human can currently resist. To avoid any problems, he left on his own. I hope you can understand."

Major Wang concealed the fact that Little Ginseng had left because of pressure from the group of superhumans. There were too many ordinary people in the convoy, and telling the truth would cause chaos. Besides, lies were more likely to appease people.

The other person froze, seemingly unable to accept this fact. After recovering, he hurriedly gave Major Wang a clumsy military salute and quickly ran towards the ordinary people in the convoy.

Knowing that the other party had gone to appease people and that the fabricated reason was enough to appease the ordinary people, Major Wang felt relieved. He turned around and ordered the other ability users in the convoy to clear the vehicles blocking the way. At the current speed, they would reach the base in two more days, and then the heavy burden on their shoulders could be lifted.

……

The attitude of the superhumans felt like a betrayal, and even though Little Ginseng had come to terms with it, she couldn't accept it immediately. Just a few days ago, they were laughing and joking with her, but now they were treating her coldly; the feeling was indescribably painful.

Yu Liu knew he was feeling sad, so she didn't say anything to disturb him.

She was also considering how to guide the little ginseng onto the right path.

As for what this right path is, we have to start with Yu Liu's wish this time.

After a deep conversation with Yuesheng, Yuliu roughly understood one thing. Even if everyone was keeping it from her, she could sense it.

She lost some of her memories, and also forgot some people. This probably included A-Ning. Her relationship with A-Ning must have been quite close. Now that she thinks about it, from the very beginning when she met A-Ning, she always completed her missions exceptionally smoothly, excluding special circumstances, such as in the previous world.

Moreover, after being with Aning, it felt like they had known each other for a long time, and they had a sense of familiarity with each other.

Therefore, Ah Ning, the God of the Underworld, must have a relationship with me.

Furthermore, their wishes are not simple.

Each time she travels through worlds to fulfill her wish, she appears in most of those worlds, which speaks volumes.

Each time she fulfills a wish, her body's energy increases, unlocking her memories. So, what are these wishes for Aning?

He has been the goal of many wishes. What will he be like after his wishes are fulfilled?

Yu Liu was curious, but she knew that even if she asked, she might not be able to find out, so she just kept it to herself.

The only certainty is that if she fulfills her wish, it will be good for both of them.

So Yu Liu arrived in this post-apocalyptic world without stopping.

The apocalypse originated from a research institute where a virus leaked and sunlight. After the virus leaked and came into contact with the sun, it mutated and infected others.

This apocalypse will last a long time, and the only one who can end it is Little Ginseng.

In Yu Liu's understanding, the reason why the little ginseng became the savior of the apocalypse was probably because of ginseng's function of strengthening the body.

After all, ginseng rootlets were added to the zombie virus vaccine. Water infused with ginseng rootlets that had become sentient was said to have miraculous effects. This was the result of a scientist who befriended a small ginseng plant after humanity had lost most of their homes in the late post-apocalyptic world, when zombies had driven them to the brink of destruction.

Unfortunately, the one who knew the ginseng root best was the small ginseng, and the scientist ultimately made a mistake and failed at the last minute.

Little Ginseng ultimately died under the oppression of human power. Without Jade Willow, Little Ginseng was truly a saint. He helped countless people and never concealed his identity. He was the only fairy in the apocalypse, a fairy who wasn't injured but plagued by the virus. No one wouldn't be curious.

Those who want to survive all want to extract blood from him that can resist the zombie virus, so that they can gain this magical ability.

He might have been invincible in the apocalypse, but he couldn't withstand the scheming and intrigue of humanity. Betrayal was the final blow that brought him to the brink of death.

However, humans are contradictory beings.

They may be selfish in order to survive, but deep down they are also praying for the end of the world.

Yu Liu's wish is to protect the little ginseng while guiding him to create a vaccine that can cure the zombie virus.

This is a daunting task, and Yu Liu was completely clueless at first. Up until now, she's just taking it one step at a time.

Perhaps one day, the little ginseng will finally understand.

After walking for a while, the two fairies encountered a somewhat embarrassing problem.

They...can't drive.

Yu Liu was injured, and Xiao Renshen had just transformed and couldn't use her demonic power to fly, so they walked for a while and started to feel a bit tired. Then, this surreal problem in front of them pulled Xiao Renshen out of her sadness at being betrayed.

"Stone, let me carry you on my back."

The little ginseng was a little annoyed. He had completely forgotten that the stone was injured and had made it accompany him for so long! He deserved it!

He crouched down, waiting for Yu Liu to climb onto his back.

Yu Liu hesitated for a moment: "Are you tired? If you are, let's find a place to rest first, and also let your wounds heal."

The little ginseng thought this made sense and took a quick look around. They were on a highway, which was full of all kinds of cars, most of which had encountered danger while fleeing and had been left behind.

The highway was open on both sides, and beyond that were fields, where waist-high corn stood withered and yellow leaves.

Looking out over the fields, you can vaguely see rooftops. There must be houses in the distance.

Without saying a word, carrying the stone, the little ginseng walked for about five or six minutes until it approached the house it could see.

It was a village, probably not very populated, and I didn't see any zombies wandering around outside.

It didn't seem too dangerous, so Xiao Renshen was a little relieved.

After settling in, Yu Liu took a moment to ask Little Ginseng, "Are you still sad?"

"I'm not sad anymore." The little ginseng waved its arms, its expression showing no trace of sadness about what had happened before.

Yu Liu was finally relieved.

"You should have listened to me back then..."

She couldn't help but say something.

"Yeah, Stone is right, but now that I think about it, those superhumans really don't need me to save them, it's not worth it. But there are other people in this team, there should still be good people among them."

Little Ginseng's tone was somewhat uncertain.

Yu Liu quickly asked tentatively, "So what is your current view of humanity?"

Yu Liu currently doesn't want the little ginseng to have too much goodwill towards humans, nor does she want him to be too opposed to them. Human hearts are fickle, and too much goodwill can easily lead to being taken advantage of. But if he's too opposed to humans, what if he refuses to help them research a zombie vaccine?

Yu Liu hoped that the little ginseng could maintain a certain distance, not getting too close, but not to the point of disliking her either.

"I don't know, I guess I can't trust them anymore."

Little Ginseng may indeed lack social skills, but he remembers some things after suffering a loss once.

"Actually, a large part of the reason they have become like this is because of this apocalypse. Normally, the human world is bound by laws, and everyone is strict with themselves. After the apocalypse came, the order collapsed. In this world full of crises, any cruelty can be tolerated. The beast in their hearts has been released and has been roaring."

Yu Liu gently coaxed, "A Ning, if you had the power to save the apocalypse, would you save these humans who are being corrupted by the apocalypse?"

"Have all of us been corrupted?"

"most."

"Well... I guess so. There are still good people out there, and I don't want to see good people get hurt by others."

Hearing his words, Yu Liu's eyes lit up. It seemed that there was hope for her wish this time.

"Does Stone have a solution in mind when he asks this?"

Little Ginseng sensed the hidden meaning in Yu Liu's words. He searched the kitchen of the house he was staying in, hoping to find something to eat for Stone.

"Um……"

Yu Liu responded softly, "If I'm not mistaken, you definitely have the power to save the world from the apocalypse."

"Then how can I save it?"

Little Ginseng found a tube of noodles, and then he started fiddling with the kitchen utensils, all of which he had seen others use.

"To completely end the apocalypse, we need to find a way to develop a vaccine that can control the zombie virus. You are not afraid of the zombie virus, and you are also a kind of medicine. After becoming sentient, your medicinal power will definitely double. Perhaps, the most crucial factor for creating a zombie vaccine is hidden in you."

Yu Liu spoke ambiguously, unable to clearly express her meaning because she couldn't explain how she knew these things.

Even so, Little Ginseng still noticed her unusual behavior. He didn't ask anything; Little Ginseng understood that Stone had its own secrets. It wasn't that he wasn't curious, but he trusted Stone.

"So... Stone, do you mean I should learn how to make vaccines?"

The first thought that popped into Little Ginseng's head wasn't to make the vaccine himself, but to provide the raw materials for others to research. But then he remembered humanity's betrayal, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue changed to something else.

Yu Liu was unaware of his inner thoughts, but was pleased by his vigilance.

“I don’t trust anyone else, and after what happened before, I don’t want you to trust anyone else either. If other scientists are asked to research the vaccine, your identity will inevitably be exposed, so I would rather you work a little harder.”

"Well, I see."

It felt wonderful to be cared for. With a big smile, Little Ginseng found a lighter, conjured up some dead wood, lit it, and started cooking noodles.

We must not let the stone go hungry.

The remote mountain village beside the highway was very quiet. The zombies had been dealt with by the little ginseng, and there was only the occasional roar of a passing car.

After a quiet night, the little ginseng left the stone in the house and planted traps around it before reluctantly returning to the highway, looking back every few steps.

He tried to stop the car.

Walking on two legs is too slow.

The roads were extremely congested and difficult to navigate. Coupled with the dangerous nature of the world, very few people dared to drive out and take the risk. Little Ginseng waited for two or three hours but no car came.

Just as he was considering whether he should find a car to study and see if he could learn to drive, a large military green truck approached with a whistle.
