Chapter 879: Chapter 384 Grudges and Affections_2

Lin Wu flipped over the seat, pushed the door open, and got out of the car. If he didn’t get out now, there’d be no chance. The slaps and howls of the zombies were incessant. Although the destruction was different from the games, the ambulance couldn’t withstand such tearing apart. After exiting, Lin Wu began firing wildly with Aka, shredding the zombies trying to enter the corner into pieces.

The glass of the driver’s seat had been shattered by the zombies using their heads. Lin Meng braced her hands and got out from the co-driver’s seat. She pressed the elevator button, and Lin Wu said, "Change the magazine."

Lin Wu bent down, and Lin Meng continuously fired her handgun, which was far less effective than Aka. Two zombies pounced on Lin Wu, who was crouching, with one of them fiercely biting his left arm. Fortunately, the cloth wrapped around was thick, and Lin Meng managed to shoot its head at once, so Lin Wu didn’t end up changing his name to Zombie Lin Wu.

At that time, Lin Meng also got out of the car from the co-driver’s seat and then the elevator arrived. The hospital elevator was rather spacious; the elevator doors opened to one side, revealing five zombies.

Lin Wu roared, "Get in." Zombies were already crawling from under the car, gnawing at his feet.

Lin Meng and Lin Meng did not hesitate and crashed into the zombies trying to rush out of the elevator, pushing back the ones inside the elevator.

Lin Wu seized the opportunity to enter the elevator, and used the remaining rifle bullets to seal the elevator entrance until the doors closed. As soon as he let go of the rifle, he pulled out a dagger and turned around to fight the zombies inside.

The battle was extremely fierce; both Mengs didn’t dare to fire, fearing damaging the elevator or accidentally harming a partner—turning their handguns blunt tools. They used the zombies in front of them as shields to avoid fighting multiple zombies at once. Even so, their faces, hair, and clothes were wildly torn; Lin Meng’s face even bore four bloody finger marks.

After Lin Wu joined the fight, the situation didn’t immediately turn around. The three had no special tactics, just squeezing zombies and avoiding their mouths. Lin Wu tried several times to stab at zombies’ heads but missed and was slapped by a zombie, which, although not painful, was a great insult. Lin Meng seized an opportunity, pulled out a dagger and penetrated a zombie’s neck, poking into the brain to secure a kill. Then pushing the body to have other zombies bite it, securing a second kill. Afterward, Lin Wu also stabbed a zombie to death, and the remaining two were quickly dealt with.

Continuous slapping noises came from outside the elevator, reminding the three that they hadn’t selected a floor yet. Lin Wu pressed for the fourth floor, Lin Meng couldn’t care less about their injuries and picked up a handgun from the floor, Lin Wu reloaded a rifle magazine.

The elevator doors opened; there was nothing outside, dim lights on both left and right corners. Lin Meng patted Lin Wu’s shoulder, Lin Wu switched to a handgun, and cautiously approached the left corner to peek. Beyond the corner was a long corridor, with an ICU waiting area visible about ten meters away, a fluorescent lamp flickering incessantly having fallen from the ceiling.

In the middle of the corridor, there were diverging paths to the left and right. Lin Meng gestured for Lin Meng and Lin Wu to swap positions, Lin Wu then checked the right side, which was a similar scene; both corridors led to the waiting area.

Lin Meng: "First, treat the wounds."

The three started to strip in the elevator area, Lin Meng noticed there wasn’t mosaic and still felt a bit shy, Lin Wu consciously turned his back, who knew what he might say if it weren’t inconvenient to talk.

Lin Meng and Lin Meng checked each other’s bodies, making sure the other had no bite marks. Lin Meng applied alcohol to several wounds, and Lin Meng took alcohol and a cotton swab, probing the cotton swab into Lin Meng’s wound, flipping the flesh to ensure the alcohol covered the entire wound, the process excruciatingly painful for Lin Meng. Afterward, Lin Meng learned from Lin Meng and disinfected Lin Meng’s wounds while Lin Meng bore it quietly. Lin Meng even checked Lin Wu’s back and incredibly, despite his blood-covered face, Lin Wu had not a single wound.

They wiped the blood on their bodies and faces with wet tissues, dressed, exchanged a look, and Lin Wu led the onward push through the left corridor. At the junction, Lin Wu and Lin Meng peeked out left and right with their guns, both sides were clear. To the right was a passage, and to the left a bridge leading to the 4th floor of the hospitalization department.

Lin Wu moved forward to check the bridge, found the iron door locked—a lock made of cloth tightly tying the doorknob, preventing the iron door from opening. All this indicated that someone on this floor had carried out preventative defenses.

The family waiting room was large, besides many chairs in the middle, there were six temporary restrooms with a bunk bed frame in each room. The beds only had mattresses, not even sheets. Moving forward was the explosion-proof iron door of the ICU, with two locking devices at the door: an ID card lock and a biometric lock.

After searching most of the floor, they saw no living people, not even zombies; where to find unlocking devices?

Lin Wu pointed to a corridor on the right, which had a restroom and a safety exit. The three took careful steps slowly moving forward, reaching the fire door first and finding it tied with cloth strips as well. Unless the people inside used the elevator, there must be someone or zombies in the ICU.

Lin Wu sniffed and pointed towards the women’s restroom, Lin Meng nodded, and they burst into the restroom together, only to see six zombie corpses piled up in the small restroom hall. Lin Wu stepped forward to grab an ID badge hanging on a zombie corpse, unexpectedly, one of the zombies suddenly sat up and opened its mouth wide, startling Lin Wu who reflexively punched it down.

A skill honed through games, you can scare me, but you can’t stop me from attacking you.

Lin Meng shot the zombie dead: "How could someone be so careless?" she said, not referring to Lin Wu, but to the person who had moved the zombie bodies there.
