Chapter Seventy-Five: Green Mountain Hospital

"Do you have water? Drinking water?" Jing Chen glanced at the backpacks that Mu Qingyu and the others were carrying.

“Sure, how much do you want?” Mu Qingyu nodded.

"20 bottles of mineral water. If that's not enough, you can bring other food instead."

"That's enough." Mu Qingyu didn't haggle with the other party. She reached for her backpack with her other right hand, but Mu Qingrong took out seven or eight bottles of water from her backpack and put them on the ground.

Ji Qingqing saw this and also took out three bottles of water from her backpack. It wasn't that she was stingy; she didn't have many supplies to begin with. The backpack she had now was given to her by Mu Qingyu in the air-raid shelter.

Han Yu came empty-handed, but he had taken some water from the air-raid shelter, so he contributed three bottles of water as well.

Mu Qingyu rummaged through her backpack and found a few more bottles to complete the set.

The people standing behind Jing Chen were overjoyed. Without needing Jing Chen to say anything, they took the 20 bottles of mineral water and went back to their seats.

Jing Chen didn't take it to heart. He came up and gently held Mu Qingyu's almost carbonized arm, and began to treat her.

Mu Qingyu herself was fine, but Mu Qingrong was very nervous. He stayed close to his sister, keeping his eyes fixed on Jing Chen, wary of any dangerous moves he might make.

Although Han Yu stood casually against the wall, his hand, which was in his pocket, never left his pistol, and his eyes kept glancing back and forth between Jing Chen and the others.

Ji Qingqing remembered that Mo Huaiyu was still alone in the air-raid shelter. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she went back to find Mo Huaiyu.

Jing Chen held Mu Qingyu's left hand, and white light emanated from his palm. The light gradually covered Mu Qingyu's skin and began to repair her flesh and blood little by little.

Mu Qingyu was somewhat surprised, as at the beginning of the apocalypse, many people's superpowers were still in the early stages of exploration.

The recently deceased Cheng Xijun was considered relatively strong, but he was only at the level of level one in lightning-type superpowers. However, it's clear that Jing Chen's healing ability has already reached level two.

Mu Qingyu knew that the main reason he killed Cheng Xijun today was because of the favorable timing and location.

She rushed out and severely injured Cheng Xijun when he was at his weakest and least prepared. Furthermore, fueled by her intense hatred, she actually managed to raise her physical abilities to level two during the fight.

Cheng Xijun, Wu Dajiang, and Qian Lai were caught off guard and intimidated by Mu Qingyu's initial aura, making it seem as if she could kill them with ease.

Under normal circumstances, if it were a head-on fight, she would really be no match for three superhumans working together.

But that may not be the case now, because she has upgraded, and she may have a chance of winning against three superhumans who are not good at close combat.

"We fled from the zombie horde and entered the hospital's outpatient building, where we discovered an underground air-raid shelter. But once inside, it was full of dead bodies. What happened here?" During her treatment, Mu Qingyu asked Jing Chen about what had happened.

"Are they all dead?" Jing Chen seemed very surprised. "I thought at least Li Ke was still alive, but I didn't expect..."

The name "Li Ke" was completely unfamiliar to Mu Qingyu, so she naturally didn't know who he was.

So Jing Chen smiled slightly and began to recount what had happened at the hospital. The events that had occurred at the hospital over the past few days were gradually revealed to Mu Qingyu.

This suburban hospital is called Qingshan Hospital. It is a sanatorium that focuses on recuperation and provides medical care as a secondary function.

Therefore, the patients at Qingshan Hospital were originally mainly elderly people.

However, before the apocalypse, there was continuous torrential rain, and many people fell ill, with hospitals and clinics in the city almost overflowing.

As a result, some patients were diverted to Qingshan Hospital.

Qingshan Hospital was established less than ten years ago and has very complete underground air defense facilities.

On the day the apocalypse arrived, Jing Chen was the on-duty doctor in the inpatient department. That night, he also developed a high fever and was the first to notice that his fever was dropping abnormally.

During that period, in addition to doctors, nurses, and patients, there were also many family members accompanying patients in the hospital.

When the temperature dropped drastically, Jingchen began organizing everyone to take shelter in the underground air-raid shelter. Inside, there were lighting equipment, heating equipment, and many first-aid supplies.

That night, nearly two hundred of them survived by relying on their numbers and keeping warm together.

However, when everyone felt the temperature return to normal the next day and opened the door of the air-raid shelter to come out, zombies pounced on the crowd as they prepared to leave...

On the first day of the apocalypse, of the original nearly two hundred survivors, forty or fifty died in the chaos of the early days of war, devoured by zombies.

So people once again took refuge in underground air-raid shelters.

After three days, the water and canned food stored in the air-raid shelter were all consumed by more than a hundred people. If no other solution was found, everyone would die in the air-raid shelter.

People started arguing and gradually split into two factions. One faction advocated holding out to the death, preferring to die in the underground air-raid shelter rather than go out and be eaten by zombies.

Another group advocated going out to find their way home, or seeing if they could contact the government and get help.

So the action-takers took action, formulated a plan, and began to act.

At the time, the entire activist group consisted of about seventy people, among whom three were the most vocal and capable – Jing Chen, a surgeon, was the one who first organized everyone to enter the air-raid shelter to avoid the disaster.

The second one is Li Ke, a strength-type mutant with immense strength. What's even more remarkable is that he is both brave and resourceful.

The third person is Jin Qinjiu, a name that should be familiar to people living in City A. He is one of City A's Top Ten Outstanding Youths and an Outstanding Young Entrepreneur.

His elderly relative was recuperating at Castle Peak Hospital. He came to visit them that day but did not return home that night. As a result, when disaster struck, he was trapped in Castle Peak Hospital.

At the time, the action group was led by the three of them. Jing Chen, who was familiar with the hospital, was responsible for finding a way out. Li Ke was responsible for searching for and collecting supplies to ensure everyone's survival.

Jin Qinjiu was responsible for clearing out the zombies near the air-raid shelter and trying to contact people outside to see if they could find rescue.

The operation was successful, but it came at a heavy price. Of the more than seventy people who went out on separate missions, less than forty returned, losing half of their manpower.

Apart from Jin Qinjiu's inability to establish contact with the outside world, Jing Chen successfully opened the air-raid shelter leading to the outpatient building, the same one that Mu Qingyu and the others had discovered when they arrived.

Li Ke successfully found the hospital's supermarket and obtained supplies from it, relieving the urgent food shortage.

Those who took action suffered sacrifices but also enjoyed the fruits of victory, while those who remained naturally did not. Over time, rudimentary rules and regulations gradually emerged among these survivors.
