Chapter Seventy-Six: Division

If the "hidden-house faction" doesn't take action, they'll truly be left to die. No one will share the supplies they risked their lives to obtain.

Due to the shortage of supplies, the survivors even clashed several times.

The "Dwelling in the Crowd" faction initially attempted to occupy the people and seize the fruits of victory from the "Action" faction.

However, those who survived were naturally quite strong, and Li Ke was a strength-type ability user, while Jin Qinjiu was a metal-type ability user.

Jin Qinjiu can manipulate the surrounding metal, turning it into weapons that can harm people.

In this struggle, more than a dozen members of the "hiding-in-the-holes" faction died, and in the end, the surrender of the "hiding-in-the-holes" faction completed the great unification of the survivors of the air-raid shelter.

Originally, everyone wanted to escape from the hospital. However, the outpatient building was also densely packed with zombies.

In order to leave, Jin Qinjiu and Li Ke led their men to begin cleaning up the inpatient ward and outpatient building. Their plan was to kill any zombies they could and drive out any that could be driven out.

That's pretty much how the zombies in the open space between the outpatient building and the inpatient department came about.

During this period, a large number of survivors still perished. Many of them had no experience in killing zombies and did not even have suitable weapons.

As a result, another sixty or seventy people were either eaten by zombies or became their companions.

The original plan was to clear out the zombies wandering in front of the hospital and then leave.

But at that moment, another group of people arrived at Qingshan Hospital. It was Cheng Xijun and his group, which numbered more than twenty. They stormed into the outpatient building, followed closely by hundreds of zombies.

Before long, they joined forces with the zombies outside the hospital, forming a small zombie horde that besieged Qingshan Hospital.

Of course, they didn't leave Qingshan Hospital in the end, not because they couldn't escape, but because the newcomer Cheng Xijun told them that the outside world had completely descended into chaos!

Zombies roam the city, so many that they seem endless, and people join their ranks every day.

There's no longer any government aid available; they can barely take care of themselves.

The densely populated residential areas have almost been overrun. People living in apartments are not safe at all, and they cannot cross the zombie-infested streets to collect supplies.

So many people started plotting against others. Unable to get out, they resorted to robbing their neighbors' supplies…

The city was in complete chaos. Those who could escape tried to flee to the outskirts, but many more died on the way and joined the zombie army.

Cheng Xijun and his group had barely escaped from the city when they were chased by hundreds of zombies in the vicinity. The twenty-odd of them were unable to clear out so many zombies, so they decided to hide in Qingshan Hospital.

Those outside want to get in, and those inside want to get out.

Cheng Xijun advised Jin Qinjiu and the others not to go back, and not to go any further into the city, as they no longer had a home there. If they really had to leave, they should leave the city and flee to the outskirts.

However, some of the survivors did not believe it, and more than twenty people still left together, never to be heard from again, and it is unknown whether they returned home safely.

Cheng Xijun and the others settled down there.

Two days later, torrential rain struck again.

Because of disagreements with Jin Qinjiu, Li Ke led his men to clean up the outpatient building, stockpiled the supplies collected from the outpatient building in the air-raid shelter there, and settled in another air-raid shelter with his supporters.

Jin Qinjiu and Jing Chen, among others, were still living in the air-raid shelter beneath the inpatient ward.

The newly arrived Cheng Xijun occupied the space upstairs in the inpatient building.

However, at that time, there was no strict division of territory, and everyone still interacted with each other.

At first, Cheng Xijun brought his own supplies, and everyone seemed to be getting along well.

However, to everyone's surprise, a few days ago, Cheng Xijun suddenly launched a surprise attack on Li Ke's stronghold, bribed two of Li Ke's men, and wiped out Li Ke's stronghold overnight.

When Jin Qinjiu and the others were alerted and rushed over to see what was happening, Cheng Xijun had already led his men back with the spoils of war.

The air-raid shelter in the inpatient department has been completely locked from the inside.

Cheng Xijun's side is missing five people, and Jing Chen is not very clear about Li Ke's situation.

All he knew was that Jin Qinjiu and Cheng Xijun had reached an agreement: Jin Qinjiu would not drive Cheng Xijun away, and Cheng Xijun would hand over some of the supplies they had received.

This is why Jing Chen and Jin Qin Jiu have differing opinions.

Jing Chen believed that a dangerous individual like Cheng Xijun, who could kill Li Ke, could also kill them. Their current willingness to concede was solely due to Jin Qinjiu's metal-based supernatural abilities and their numerical superiority.

Jin Qinjiu, however, believed that Cheng Xijun's dozen or so men were nothing to fear, and that he could obtain supplies without lifting a finger, so why not?

Jin Qinjiu didn't care about Li Ke's life or death in the first place, since Li Ke disagreed with him, which was why he left with his men.

The heavy rain then carried away most of the zombies that were besieging the hospital, but the people there had no intention of leaving.

Although they had plans to collect supplies from outside, they now wanted to leave, so they had to go through Li Ke's underground air-raid shelter first.

So before their plan could be implemented, Mu Qingyu suddenly appeared and, like a demon, brutally murdered Cheng Xijun in front of everyone.

"Because I couldn't reach an agreement with Jin Qinjiu on the Li Ke issue, I also left his team." Jing Chen withdrew his healing hand.

Mu Qingyu's carbonized arm has now returned to its fair and rosy color, as if it had never been injured.

"Seven people were willing to join me, so the eight of us formed a small, independent group, and we were most wary of Cheng Xijun. However..."

Jing Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know if it's because I'm a healing-type ability user that they think I'm still useful, or because the eight of us are outnumbered and there aren't many resources available except for me, since we're all ordinary people."

Neither Cheng Xijun nor Jin Qinjiu caused us any trouble.

Mu Qingyu nodded slightly, indicating that she had heard what Jing Chen said. She stretched out her left hand, feeling a strange sensation.

He clenched his left hand into a fist, then opened it, and a cluster of flames rose up, with lightning flashing within them...

"This...killing an enemy actually brought such a surprise!" Mu Qingyu was shocked. She hadn't expected that after the battle, her physical abilities would directly level up to level two, and she would unexpectedly gain fire-type abilities.

No, this isn't just a simple fire-based ability! This is an electrified fire-based ability!

Seeing this, Jing Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder he was able to kill Cheng Xijun and the other two powerful ability users by himself with his electrified fire-type ability!

Mu Qingrong was very nervous: "Sister, are you alright? Are you better now?" She was afraid that her sister's health might have been damaged by the treatment.
