Chapter Ninety-Nine: So what if I have supplies!

After descending, slaying zombies became much more difficult, as they swarmed from both sides, surrounding the group. The main problem was that these creatures felt no pain and were utterly fearless.

Fortunately, the zombies aren't very powerful these days, and with Mu Qingyu joining the battle, everyone is still able to handle them.

Mo Huaiyu also learned to use his mental powers to remind and assist his teammates. Whenever the situation became critical, he would use his special ability to hold off the zombies for about ten seconds, giving his teammates a chance to turn around and fight back.

"Ji Qingqing, Han Yu, you two go to the stairwell and block the zombies that are crowding up, to prevent the number of zombies on the third floor from increasing. Xiao Rong, Xiao Mo, you two are responsible for guarding their backs and clearing away any zombies that get close to them on the floor," Mu Qingyu said.

Everyone agreed and then began to move to their new positions.

"Sister, where are you going?" Mu Qingrong asked.

"I'll clear out the zombies on the floor and retrieve some useful items while I'm at it," Mu Qingyu replied as she slashed at the zombies, quickly heading towards the ward on the left.

Mu Qingyu's newly acquired fire and electricity ability also came in handy. As long as she controlled the power of the fire snake, a stronger strike could pierce the zombie's brain, while a weaker strike could immobilize it.

While killing zombies, Mu Qingyu also adapted to and adjusted her newly acquired superpower.

Her physical abilities have reached level two, resulting in a qualitative leap in stamina and speed. Combined with her fire and electricity abilities, these most basic zombies are as easy to deal with as vegetables.

There are just too many of them, so it's quite tiring.

If everyone works together for a few more days and fully masters their abilities and teamwork, perhaps it wouldn't be too much of a problem for the five of them to break out of the hospital.

As long as she fights her way out, the vehicles in Mu Qingyu's space will come in handy. She has off-road vehicles if she wants, and motorcycles if she wants.

Therefore, Mu Qingyu was never worried about not being able to leave the hospital. Jin Qinjiu's helicopter was only a backup option.

They cleared away zombies along the way and explored each hospital ward one by one.

The hospital building had been ransacked by Jin Qinjiu and Jing Chen before, and then Cheng Xijun came and probably ransacked it again.

Therefore, there are definitely no more food, drinks, or other necessities available here.

Mu Qingyu's main goal was to find out if there were any useful instruments. Medical instruments are a non-renewable resource for at least the next ten years. In case they lose their place of residence and end up in some large base, these instruments could be used to exchange for benefits with higher-ups.

So along the way, Mu Qingyu simply put any instruments that hadn't been damaged by the zombies and looked usable into her spatial storage.

The hospital even had many VIP wards on the third floor, which, in addition to complete monitoring equipment, also had plenty of furniture and beds. Mu Qingyu put away everything that looked clean.

She hadn't specifically collected these things before the apocalypse; she had only collected everything from the Mu family's old mansion as a prank.

Now, not only is there room in the Blood Jade Space, but her own ability space is also empty. So she simply put these things into her own ability space.

Mu Qingyu suddenly felt that there was still a lot she needed to do. For example, she knew that some spatial ability users could launch spatial blades or teleport through space.

Mu Qingyu also wanted to develop this spatial ability. But it didn't seem easy. In his previous life, Huo Siyu was an extremely ordinary spatial ability user—at least he was when Mu Qingyu died.

Mu Qingyu quickly finished clearing out the left-hand ward and also cleaned up the zombies there. Then she returned to the stairwell.

Only then did they realize that the zombies on the third floor had been almost completely cleared out. Mu Qingrong no longer needed to constantly watch out for Han Yu and the others' backs; instead, she joined in their hacking and slashing.

"Hold on a little longer, everyone. I'll go clear out the zombies on the right, and then we'll retreat," Mu Qingyu said, running towards the ward on the right.

There were very few zombies left on the right. Their instincts would cause them to rush towards where there were people, so they either rushed towards the left where Mu Qingyu was or towards the people in the stairwell.

When sweeping through the ward on the right, Mu Qingyu moved twice as fast as before.

Back in the stairwell, several people were already resting. They dragged over the nearby zombie corpses and used them to build a wall, temporarily blocking the stairwell.

Seeing Mu Qingyu return, Han Yu, unusually serious, said, "There are so many corpses in the stairwell, I'm afraid we need to deal with them. This isn't a main road, and people live upstairs. If we don't clean it up, it could cause an epidemic..."

Mu Qingyu nodded; she had already thought of this: "Let's go back to the rooftop. We've killed all the zombies; we can't just have to deal with their corpses too."

“Those people might not be willing to come down and risk their lives,” Ji Qingqing said. She always felt that those people preferred to stay in a safe place and not move, just like how they preferred to hide in the underground air-raid shelter rather than clear the zombies outside the hospital.

Clearing the zombies from the hospital was merely for self-preservation. Once the hospital was free of zombies, they fortified themselves in the underground air-raid shelter, even harboring thoughts of infighting, killing, and looting supplies...

"It's alright, I have a way." Mu Qingyu said, and called everyone back to the rooftop.

Jing Chen stayed at the door the whole time, and nothing unexpected happened when Mu Qingyu and the others returned.

"We've cleared out the zombies on the first floor. But we left behind a mess of corpses. If we don't deal with it, it could cause disease and be bad for everyone..." Mu Qingyu said loudly to everyone as soon as she returned.

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Huh? What do you mean? You're not trying to morally blackmail us into disposing of the corpses, are you? You killed the zombies, no one asked you to. Why should we dispose of the corpses?"

"If you ask me, let's not talk about any epidemic. We're perfectly safe on the rooftop, and the zombies can't even break through this iron gate. If you weren't just killing zombies out of boredom, there wouldn't be so many corpses. If there really is an epidemic, then that's your responsibility."

"Exactly! You created this mess yourselves, why are you making others clean it up? Why should they!"

Many people were asking questions all at once.

Not only did Mu Qingrong's expression turn sour, but even Han Yu, who always had a mischievous smile, also darkened his face.

Mu Qingyu, however, did not react.

"Why should I? Because I have supplies!" Mu Qingyu blinked. "I didn't say I'd make people work for free! I didn't say I wouldn't give them anything!"

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Mu Qingyu continued with satisfaction, "I'll offer twenty fresh sweet potatoes, ten bottles of mineral water, two five-packs of instant noodles..." She thought for a moment, then added, feigning reluctance, "And five tomatoes too..."
