Chapter Ninety-Three: Assault on the Ward
On May 10, xxxx year, the twenty-sixth day after the outbreak of the zombie virus, and the second day after they came to the mental hospital, on this day, they got up early, grabbed their weapons, and prepared to brave the outpatient department, inpatient department, and staff dormitory.
It wasn't that we were motivated, but two days of starvation that prevented us from getting enough sleep, and they spent a day cleaning up the zombies in the outpatient department and staff quarters, and still didn't find supplies.
At this point, hunger and fatigue weighed down us and we didn't want to move our heavy legs anymore.
"Comrades, hold on a little longer! Perhaps, the supplies are in the inpatient department! Uncle Yuan stood in the square, with his back to the fiery sunset, and encouraged them with all his strength.
From his chapped lips, Xiao Fan could imagine that he was in a state at this time, and he must be similar to us, the water in the water tank has been drunk, and they are not only facing a food crisis, but also a water source test!
"Daddy! I can't! We'll go to the inpatient unit tomorrow! Is it good? Yuan Shuai said coquettishly.
"That's it...... That's it! Maybe my brother can still find a little ...... Xiaoqiang maybe! Yuan Fang lay on the ground on all fours, and said weakly.
"I'm not leaving! I was so hungry that my whole body was weak. ”
In the atmosphere of complaining, Leng Yue staggered to his feet and walked unswervingly in the direction of the inpatient department, and behind him, it was the Snow Girl who gritted her teeth and stood up and followed him.
"If you're too tired, stay in the square and rest. If you can walk, come with me! Tonight, if we can't find supplies, we'll have to move! Yuan Shuai dropped a sentence and went to chase Leng Yue and the Snow Girl.
In the end, the people standing in front of the iron gate of the inpatient department were only the six combat forces and Sanzang, Ruoxi, and Xiao Fan.
"Comrades! Once inside, we still have a highly concentrated defensive approach and everything is done carefully! Don't be a personal hero! To maximize the power of the collective! ”
After Uncle Yuan finished explaining, he first pushed open the bloodstained iron door, and what caught his eyes was the rotten flesh of the stumps all over the ground, as well as the internal organs that had been gnawed so that he couldn't see the shape clearly.
This inpatient building has 10 floors, while the staff dormitory and outpatient department have only 5 floors respectively, which can also be seen from this point, their workload this time is equivalent to the sum of the outpatient department and the staff dormitory.
And the worst thing is that they have limited time, and when the sun goes down completely, the risk they face will increase exponentially!
This time, the formation they formed was the "three-three system", with Uncle Yuan, Qin Feng and Ghost Hand opening the way side by side in front; Then Leng Yue, Xue Nu and Li Li broke in the back, while Xiao Fan, Ruoxi and Sanzang, who were relatively weak, were in the middle of the team, receiving protection on the one hand and supporting the front and rear on the other.
The tragic scene in the hall on the first floor of the inpatient department stimulated their senses, although we haven't found a single zombie yet, although Xiao Fan is protected by six combat forces in front and back, but the high degree of tension still tightly compresses his nerves.
It's like watching a ghost movie, when the ghost really appears, it is not the most terrifying moment, but the most terrifying time is when it looms!
Just when Xiao Fan's nerves were about to collapse, they finally searched the 10 "psychosomatic disease wards" in the hall without finding zombies.
Thankfully, if this was the case on every floor, then they would be able to search the entire inpatient building before it gets dark, Xiao Fan thought to himself as he wiped the sweat from his palms.
Why is he so nervous? Because, after being hungry for nearly three days, our combat effectiveness was not as good as before, and after a while, they came to the door of the 10 "alcohol and drug dependence wards" on the second floor.
And just when Xiao Fan thought that they would be safe again, the scream of a mouse broke the silence of dusk!
"Everyone, be careful! There are zombies! Uncle Yuan issued a warning, and led us to walk slowly towards the place where the rat sounded, because the sun had slowly set, and the passage on the second floor was very dim, and like the first floor, the floor of the passage was also covered with all kinds of stump carrion, and the amount of carrion was quite a lot, forming a small pile.
Eventually, they determined the source of the rat's screams, which was a closed hospital room, and at this time, the howls of zombies were still faintly coming from within.
Although, according to common sense, it was best for them to avoid this ward, their mission this time was mainly to search for supplies! So! They can't let go of any place!
"Are you ready??? Uncle Yuan said softly.
"Yes!" They whispered in reply.
Uncle Yuan glanced at the ghost hand and Qin Feng, "One, two, three!" ”
''Click! With the sound of Uncle Yuan's cautious opening of the door, a large group of zombies grabbing rats and gnawing wildly appeared in front of them!
"Everyone retreat into the passage and form a circle! Don't mess around! "Seeing that the group of mentally ill zombies was about to rush over to say hello to them, Uncle Yuan calmly shot crossbow arrows while giving an order, blocking the zombies closest to us.
After a fierce battle, they finally wiped out all the more than 20 zombies, and their physical strength was almost exhausted, if they couldn't find supplies, they would starve to death if they didn't wait for the zombies to come and gnaw us!
Just as they were standing there gasping for breath and resting, suddenly! A cold palm grabbed Xiao Fan's ankle!!
Xiao Fan turned his head suddenly! I saw a half-cut zombie, crawling out of the pile of carrion, while stretching its neck and biting his leg and stomach!!
And his cold palm was like an iron hoop, so I couldn't move a single inch at all!
At this critical moment, Xiao Fan hurriedly raised the long sword in his hand and slashed at the zombie's head as if he was crazy, once, twice, three times.
Xiao Fan didn't know how many times I cut it, until the zombie's head was cut into a puddle of meat sauce, Xiao Fan came to his senses at Ruoxi's call!
"Xiao Fan donor! Look at your feet! Sanzang's nervous voice came, and what was more nervous than his voice was Xiao Fan's heart that he instantly understood!!
He hurriedly took the dagger handed over by the ghost hand, sawed off the fingers that the zombie was holding on to him one by one, and then carefully examined his "injuries"
"It's okay, it's not ...... There is no broken skin. I looked at the long nails on those fingers and said with a sigh of relief, at this moment, he really had the feeling of coming back from a circle of ghost doors!!
After this struggle, Xiao Fan's hunger became even stronger, and the acid water that kept coming out of his stomach and the bursts of stomach colic made him feel like even the stomach wall was about to be digested.
In the end, after searching for life again and again, we finally came to the top floor - the recovery ward on the 10th floor, this is our last hope, if they can't find supplies, they can only return to Xuanying Mountain, follow Yuan Shuai to taste the little maggot and Xiaoqiang.
The structure of the 10th floor is quite special, and the rest of the floors are all 10 rooms with wooden doors. On the 10th floor, there are only 9 wards with wooden doors, and the door of the remaining ward is actually made of steel!
Could it be that there are supplies in there? Or, is it still a room full of zombies?
With full of questions, they called Yuan Shuai and Yuan Fang, a pair of lock-picking professionals, and finally, with the concerted efforts of Yuan's master and apprentice, it only took 30 seconds for them to open the thick steel door that seemed to be unbreakable!
Everything that caught their eyes made Xiao Fan and them stunned, because there were not only supplies that they had been thinking about for a long time! There are also four calm emperors who are sitting in the ward, playing mahjong around the table!
