"The old lady’s right!"

Wang Yiyun’s eyes sparkled.

She could finally put her skills as a Funeral Master to use and stitch up the female zombie’s wound!

It was her first time stitching up a cesarean section for a pregnant woman, a complete first.

Just thinking about it was exciting.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided on a cesarean section immediately.

Bai Xiqin’s mouth twitched, and she silently looked away.

She felt like her own stomach was in pain.

In the future, just let Leng Yebai give birth!

In the apocalypse, it’s heard that although the human brain can’t transmit information via brainwaves like zombies, it can transfer consciousness between two people.

This transfer is very complex, requiring similar levels of Crystal Core Energy in the brains of two people, and it is a huge test of their rapport.

It’s akin to a special energy from both brains’ crystals being exchanged at a certain time.

This isn’t something just anyone can accomplish, otherwise, both would be in trouble if they exploded together.

This is what experts from those safe zones hypothesized, although no one has experimented with it yet.

Experts haven’t done anything so insane.

No matter how bleak the world may be, it’s not worth risking self-destruction for such a bizarre theory.

Bai Xiqin’s thought only flashed briefly, and she had no such notion.

Having been reborn with great difficulty, she couldn’t risk messing up.

The disheveled supermarket exuded a rotten stench.

The female zombie’s rotting face remained hideously terrifying, its attention wholly captivated by the scent of human flesh and blood emanating from Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing.

When the knife sliced open its belly, it did not notice at all.

Zombies have no sense of pain, not even requiring anesthesia.

Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing, wearing white gloves, searched for something amidst a pool of black blood.

Zombies don’t die from excessive blood loss, so even amateurs like Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun, who had never performed a cesarean on a pregnant woman, were fine.

The thick, human-like muscle tissue was cut open, soon revealing a baby completely immersed in black blood.

Wang Yiyun and Liu Jing paused for a moment, taking a careful look at the infant.

The baby was quietly curled up in the uterus filled with black amniotic fluid, covered in black mucus.

If it were a human baby, it wouldn’t have withstood the zombie virus either.

The newborn baby’s skin was wrinkled, mixed with black mucus, and for a moment, Liu Jing and her mother-in-law couldn’t tell if the baby’s skin was decaying.

Undoubtedly, one that grows up soaked in black amniotic fluid cannot be a human baby.

Liu Jing took out a pair of scissors and cut the umbilical cord that connected to the mother.

In history, a zombie baby was born.

"Wah—"

A cry caught the attention of both Bai Xiqin and the female zombie.

"It’s actually a girl!"

Liu Jing held the newly born baby, her face beaming.

Delivering it herself, she felt a special attachment.

"Wonderful!" On Wang Yiyun’s face was also a joyful smile as she said to the female zombie, "Congratulations, you’ve got a little cotton-padded jacket."

At this moment, there was no distinction between human and zombie, only a mother who had just given birth to her little cotton-padded jacket and two benevolent people helping a pregnant woman give birth.

The female zombie didn’t understand Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun’s words, but a mother’s instinct softened its animosity greatly.

On its decayed face appeared a rare smile, even though its stomach was not yet stitched up, it disregarded its own "severe injuries" and reached out with its decaying fingers to hold the baby.

But it was suppressed by Bai Xiqin’s Control Power, unable to move an inch, only able to stare fixedly at the baby in Liu Jing’s arms with its decayed eyes.

This was the gaze of a mother longing to hold her child.

Almost the same as a human.

"Mom, you give the baby a bath while I stitch up the stomach."

Wang Yiyun cheerfully took out a small pouch she always carried and pulled out a few needles from it.

In the small pouch were not only needles specifically for sewing up zombie wounds but also a complete set of miniature funerary tools for zombies, fully equipped.

This occupational hazard was really hard to control, striking at unpredictable times.

Back when she worked at the crematorium, it was manageable, busy every day, and sometimes too tired, occasionally unwilling to work and not bothered by the occupational hazard.

Now it doesn’t work like that, with corpses bouncing everywhere, only watching, unable to stitch them up was maddening.

Wang Yiyun carried that little pouch with her, always ready to satisfy her itchy hands when occupational hazard struck.

"Sure thing!"

Liu Jing gingerly placed the pitch-black baby into the warm water that Bai Anhai had brought.

The clear warm water instantly turned black, dense like ink.

Bai Anhai brought in several more buckets of warm water, all used for bathing the baby.

"Why can’t it get clean?"

Liu Jing held the baby and changed the water again, and once the baby was placed in it, the clear water turned ink-like.

The baby’s body surface was also coated in black sticky mucus.

All the water in the bus came from the space’s Spiritual Spring Water, which, when used for bathing, could quickly clean off the grime on a person’s body.

In theory, the black mucus on the baby should not be hard to wash off.

Bai Xiqin bent down, her gaze carefully landing on the baby.

The baby’s skin appeared wrinkled, and from the moment she was separated from her mother, she cried once, then stayed quietly in Liu Jing’s arms.

Even when being bathed, there was no crying, much quieter than a human baby.

A human baby would cry out at the slightest discomfort.

In this respect, the divide between humans and zombies grew larger.

Animals adapt to harsh environments, with almost every species’ offspring learning to walk and swim from birth, mature individuals.

Only human babies need nurturing for a period post-birth, a lengthy time, longer than for most animals protecting their young.

Zombie babies seemed better adapted to harsh environments than humans, having no reaction even when repeatedly placed in water for a bath.

"The black mucus on her body seeps from her skin."

Bai Xiqin observed meticulously, arriving at her conclusion.

Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun paused, their reactions not overly substantial.

A zombie baby, upon birth, was unlikely to be a human baby.

The zombie virus is too infectious, once the mother is infected, every organ has the zombie virus.

When slicing open the female zombie’s belly, it didn’t resist, indicating no sensation exists in its bodily organs.

Within a body full of zombie virus, a human baby cannot survive.

Liu Jing found a small black blanket and wrapped the little baby in it.

The tiny baby kept her eyes closed, features obscured by sticky black liquid on her face.

The only visible features were long eyelashes, a dainty mouth, and a small upturned nose.

If born before the apocalypse, she would’ve been an adorable little baby, destined to grow into a beautiful girl in a decade or so, inflaming the hearts of many good lads.

Liu Jing sighed softly, gently touching the baby’s cheek with her hand.

The female zombie made a soft guttural sound, eyes fixated on the baby in Liu Jing’s arms.

Liu Jing brought the baby to the female zombie’s face so it could always see its child.
