Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

However, even so, this is not a long-term solution. If we cannot find something that can effectively control these zombies, or if we cannot find the source of the disease, all our efforts will be in vain. In the end, I am afraid that no one in this city will be spared and will die.

Shen Lishu was so worried about this that he lost his appetite and couldn't sleep at night. He worked hard outside all day and became thinner and thinner. Xiao Mu, who was standing by, saw this and felt pain in his heart.

As for Jixiang and Ruyi, they were still young, and after seeing the horrific scene in the city, they no longer dared to run around recklessly. So, they stayed in the mansion every day and dared not take a step out.

On this day, Shen Lishu had just returned from outside, dragging his exhausted body. Before he had time to catch his breath and rest, Zhou Aotian rushed in and shouted in a panic, "Master, something bad has happened! The city lord has also been infected!"

Hearing this, Shen Lishu's heart was shocked as if struck by lightning. His face was full of astonishment, and he blurted out: "How could Shen Qingwan be infected?" While speaking, he kept running outside and asked anxiously: "Tell me the whole story quickly. Where did she go? What did she do?"

Zhou Aotian trotted to the front to lead the way. As he ran, he turned back and shouted, "That's right! We received the news early this morning! It is said that several people who went into the mountains east of the city to cut firewood suddenly mutated! Once this matter spread, it was a big deal. When the city lord heard about it, he immediately rushed over with a large group of people to investigate."

The city lord was scratched by one of the people."

As they talked, time seemed to pass quickly. Shen Lishu rushed all the way and finally arrived at the east of the city. Looking from afar, he saw Shen Qingwan standing there quietly, her figure still as straight as a pine tree, but her delicate appearance made people feel distressed.

The stone hanging in Shen Lishu's heart finally fell to the ground, but only a moment later, his eyes were attracted by the wound on Shen Qingwan's arm. The wound was hideous, as if it had been bitten by a beast, and blood kept oozing out of it, staining her white sleeves red. What was even more frightening was that the area around the wound had begun to show a strange black color, which formed a sharp contrast with the normal skin color, making people shudder.

Shen Lishu's face instantly became extremely solemn. He rushed forward in two steps, grabbed Shen Qingwan's arm, and carefully checked her injuries. His brows were tightly knitted together, and his eyes revealed deep worry and concern. As he observed more deeply, his heart sank a little bit - there was no doubt that this was a symptom of zombie virus infection!

"Qingwan, how are you?" Shen Lishu looked at the woman in front of him whose face was as pale as paper with a serious expression. His low and magnetic voice revealed a hint of concern and anxiety.

Shen Qingwan clenched her teeth, cold sweat dripping down her forehead. She endured the discomfort and answered with difficulty: "Master... I... I don't feel well. The virus seems to have begun to spread, but the strange thing is that my mind is unusually clear and not affected at all. What's going on?" After that, she raised her head and looked at Shen Lishu with confused and helpless eyes, as if waiting for him to give her an answer.

"Are you conscious?" Shen Lishu grasped her slightly pale hand with suspicion and began to carefully examine it. He was concentrating on sensing it, not missing any slight changes. Sure enough, the nerves were indeed there! This was so strange. You know, other zombies had long lost their nerves and were completely reduced to zombies that only knew how to act instinctively. However, the woman in front of him was different, as if there was a mysterious power guarding her sanity.

Shen Lishu's brows knitted tightly together, forming a deep "川" character. He pondered over it, trying to solve the mystery, but his thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess. What exactly caused this to happen? At this moment, a faint light attracted his attention. He looked closely and found that it was a jade bracelet on Shen Qingwan's wrist that was glowing faintly. Although the light was not dazzling, it was particularly eye-catching in the dim environment.

"This is actually... a jade bracelet that is all green, smooth and flawless!" Shen Lishu's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself in astonishment, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Could this rare jade be able to resist the terrible zombie virus? This idea made him both excited and nervous. If they could really find a way to fight the zombie virus, then there would be hope for mankind to escape this nightmare disaster.

Thinking of this, Shen Lishu hurriedly said to the person next to him: "Hurry, take off the bracelet on your hand and let me try it! But don't worry, if you feel anything wrong or dangerous, we will help you put it back on immediately!" His tone was anxious and firm, and there was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

"Okay! I'm fine, you can try." Shen Qingwan said excitedly, her voice trembling slightly, but the joy contained in it was hard to hide. When she thought that if she could really find something that could resist this terrible virus, then countless people who suffered from it would be saved, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Shen Lishu, who was standing nearby, carefully reached out his hand and gently grasped the bracelet. His movements were extremely slow, as if what he held in his hand was not an ordinary bracelet, but a rare treasure. He was so focused that he didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing any subtle changes. In this way, he slowly, bit by bit, took the bracelet off Shen Qingwan's slender wrist.

As the bracelet gradually fell off her wrist, everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Qingwan. Her originally dark and bright pupils began to turn white little by little, as if covered by a layer of frost. This strange sight made everyone present gasp, and Shen Lishu's eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief. However, the facts were in front of them, and everything was just as they had guessed before.

Shen Lishu hurriedly put the bracelet back on her wrist quickly and carefully, as if it was an invaluable treasure. She hugged Shen Qingwan tightly and laughed heartily, her laughter full of joy and hope: "Great! This green jade has such a magical effect that it can keep those infected sane! Qingwan, you must hold on! No matter what, I will do everything I can to help you recover!"

Shen Qingwan's pale face showed a faint smile, as weak but tenacious as a candle in the wind. She said softly: "When I was infected, I really felt that my life was coming to an end. I never thought that this little green jade could play such a big role. Maybe this is a little favor from fate to me..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Lishu's eyes lit up as if she suddenly remembered something. She waved her right hand gently, and after a flash of light, a mysterious space crack appeared before her eyes. She reached into the crack without hesitation, and after a while of groping, she finally took something out of it. Two pieces of green jade, "Take these, it's safer!"

Shen Lishu took a deep breath and stepped into the dangerous and unknown area again with a determined look. He carefully approached the zombies with slow movements and distorted faces, and successfully captured several zombies with his agility and superb skills.

Shen Lishu quickly put the green jade he had prepared in advance on the zombies, and then nervously observed their reactions.

At first, everything seemed calm, but as time went on, some subtle changes began to emerge.
