Chapter 9 Escape from the General Clinic
Tang Ning herself is not a waste. Although she lives with Tang Tang, she is not a loser who relies on Tang Tang's charity to survive.
Tang Tang was not responsible for her three meals a day, including clean drinking water.
All of these had to be earned by Tang Ning herself by going out to hunt zombies and obtaining crystal cores. Only when Tang Tang was in a good mood, or in a bad mood and wanted to humiliate her would she reward Tang Ning with some of her leftovers.
As for why Tang Ning was so shameless and refused to leave the base even though Tang Tang had humiliated her so much?
It wasn't that she had no self-esteem, but when she first arrived at the base, Chen Chen was not the commander yet. At that time, Tang Tang was just an ordinary resident of the base. Tang Ning naturally didn't need to hide from her.
After Tang Ning became familiar with life in the base and regarded the base as her second home, that is, in the fourth year of the apocalypse, Chen Chen became the commander of the base, and Tang Tang's status rose accordingly.
Tang Tang found her, took her by his side, and humiliated her anytime and anywhere.
At that time, Tang Ning thought about leaving, but finally gave up.
As far as she knew, several nearby small bases had stopped accepting ordinary people to join.
They think that ordinary people are trash and a drag, and that it is enough to have a few ordinary people in the base to work like slaves. If there are too many, it will be a waste of food.
This is how it is in the end times, it is a strong theory.
Besides, the journey is very dangerous. In the fourth year of the apocalypse, not only the mutants are evolving, but the zombies are also evolving.
As an ordinary person, she can probably deal with ordinary zombies, but she may not be able to defeat level one or level two zombies alone.
Even if she is lucky and passes through layers of danger to reach other bases, it is still unclear whether those bases will be willing to accept her!
The Jingshi base was ready to accept ordinary people, but it was too far from their base. It would take Tang Ning a long time to walk there. She couldn't get any gasoline, so she couldn't drive.
For several months, she didn't think she would be able to avoid encountering a single level one or level two zombie.
She admitted that she was afraid of death. In the end, it was because of her fear of death that she did not dare to leave the base. But how could she not be afraid of death? The reason why she was able to survive the early outbreak of the zombie virus was because her mother and father sacrificed themselves.
She watched helplessly as her parents fell into a pile of zombies in order to protect her and were eaten alive by the zombies.
At the moment before her death, her parents told her to live well and to try her best to survive.
Her life is no longer her own, and she is also responsible for the lives of her parents!
Her parents gave up their lives for her, and she was just humiliated a few times, how could she seek death!
Thinking of her parents, Tang Ning felt full of strength, as if she was no longer fighting for herself, but for her parents.
Tang Ning fought with the zombies holding an axe. When she got closer to the zombie, she found that it was an old zombie.
The zombie transformation made the skin on his face even more wrinkled, like a shriveled apple that had lost water.
The zombie's long nails grabbed Tang Ning's face, but Tang Ning tightly grasped the axe and chopped off the zombie's arm.
Blood spurted out. Even though Tang Ning covered herself tightly and even had goggles on her eyes, she still quickly rolled on the ground and dodged.
Zombies carry zombie viruses in their blood and nails, and these viruses are transmitted through the blood.
If you are scratched by a zombie, or your skin is damaged by zombie blood, you are in danger of being infected with the zombie virus.
After being infected with the zombie virus, people will have a high fever, reaching over 39°C.
This high fever process is evolution. If the evolution is successful, the person will become a mutant. If the evolution fails, the person will be assimilated by zombies.
Becoming a mutant does not mean that you will never be infected again.
Similarly, if you are infected with the zombie virus again, you will have a high fever again. If you can survive the high fever, you will survive. You may awaken dual abilities for the second time, or you may not awaken new abilities. If you can't survive, you will become a zombie.
It’s just that the psychics have strong physical fitness, and after being infected by the zombie virus, the probability of them becoming zombies is low, only 30%.
But even so, there is still a 30% chance that the psychics will still carefully protect themselves. When going on a mission, they will be fully armed with special protective clothing, protective gowns, protective glasses, etc., and must protect themselves tightly from head to toe, try not to be scratched by zombies, so as to avoid secondary infection.
Zombies don't feel pain, and cutting off one of their arms won't stop them from attacking. When his arm that was attacking Tang Ning was cut off, he would grab it with the other arm right after.
Tang Ning rolled over and when he was about to stand up, the zombie's other complete arm had already grabbed him.
If Tang Ning stood up at this time, he would be bumped into the zombies' sharp long nails, which would directly scratch his skin and infect him with the zombie virus.
Tang Ning's pupils shrank sharply, his face showed fear, and despair flashed in his eyes.
As expected, she couldn't leave the base. It was only the first day she left the base. She had to fight the zombies alone without the help of her companions, and she was about to be torn to pieces by the zombies.
Just when Tang Ning thought she was going to die, the zombie's head suddenly rolled off her neck.
Blood splattered on Tang Ning's protective goggles, staining her vision red.
The headless zombie, like a puppet without its strings, fell straight to the ground, making a dull sound and raising a cloud of dust.
It was Ji An who saved her!
At this time, Ji An was already breaking open the zombie's head.
Tangning quickly stood up and didn't dare to be in a daze any longer. She quickly ran over and said, "I'll do it."
Ji An stopped and let Tang Ning continue to look for the crystal core in the zombie's brain.
"No, nothing. This is just an ordinary zombie that has not evolved." Tang Ning said dejectedly.
Not all zombies have crystal cores. This zombie was obviously slow in movement and had low combat power. When he was hacking him to death, Ji An guessed that this zombie might not have a crystal core.
But with the mentality of rather killing it by mistake than letting it go, I still dug open its head and looked for it.
Just at this moment, two more zombies, one big and one small, came from the corner.
The smaller one is a child zombie, walking at the back, and the larger one is an elderly zombie, walking in front.
"Two more are coming. Get rid of them quickly, otherwise the blood will attract more zombies." Ji An jumped over the adult zombie and went to kill the child zombie behind.
Tang Ning was disappointed for a moment. She thought that since Ji An had saved her, he would definitely deal with the adult zombie.
After all, for the same zombies, a child might be easier to deal with than an adult. A child zombie is short, so she can just blow its head off with one axe. But for an adult zombie, she can't even reach his head without jumping up.
However, Tangning quickly put aside her thoughts. Ji An had said that he would not be responsible for her safety. She should be grateful to him for saving her life. How could she be so ungrateful and ask for more?
Wouldn't she then become the ungrateful person like Tang Tang?
Thinking of Tang Tang Bai Lianhua's pitiful and innocent appearance, Tang Ning got goose bumps all over her body and shuddered.
She immediately rushed forward to fight with the zombies. Even if she died, she would not be an ungrateful person like Tang Tang.
Tang Ning had experience this time. He jumped onto a high platform, then raised his axe and started hacking at the zombie's head until it was chopped into pieces, as if it had been beheaded. He then stopped.
The zombie was lying on the ground. Tang Ning looked for it again without giving up, but still couldn't find the crystal core.
She was a little depressed and felt that she was unlucky. But she couldn't help but feel lucky that this zombie was just an ordinary zombie. Otherwise, if it was an evolved zombie, she might not be able to defeat it.
After all, it was hard enough for her to fight this ordinary zombie.
Tang Ning didn't find the crystal core so he turned to look for Ji An. Ji An had just dealt with the little zombie and was digging for the crystal core.
"Second-level crystal core!" Tang Ning screamed.
She never expected that the weak-looking little zombie was actually a level 2 zombie. Fortunately, Ji An asked her to deal with the ordinary zombie, otherwise she might have died there.
Suddenly, Tangning remembered something. She was so lost that she didn't notice it. Now thinking back, it seemed like Ji An had discovered something and asked her to deal with the adult zombie.
"Mr. Ji, how do you know this little zombie is an evolved zombie?" Tangning looked at the crystal core with envy in her eyes. But it was just envy, not a trace of greed. Tangning knew her own strength, she could not beat a level 2 zombie.
"This little zombie moves faster than the adult zombie, and it seems to be more agile." Ji An put away the crystal core and said, "Let's leave here quickly. The blood will attract more zombies."
At this time, the strange cries unique to zombies could be faintly heard coming from a distance, and Ji An and Tang Ning ran quickly.
They took a small road and after several turns they arrived at a private comprehensive clinic.
This comprehensive clinic is a two-story building. The plaque has disappeared somewhere. After seven years of apocalyptic baptism, the building has been completely abandoned and has become a deserted building.
The wall paint was peeling off, leaving behind mottled and distorted patterns that looked like grotesque zombies in the end times.
All the window glass was shattered, with only a few fragments of glass occasionally sticking out from two windows.
All the medical supplies and usable medical equipment in the outpatient clinic were gone. Even the examination beds and usable tables, chairs and benches had been moved away, leaving only an empty room and a cold atmosphere.
"Mr. Ji, this place has been cleared. Is there anything we can find here?" Tang Ning didn't understand why Ji An came here, so she asked politely.
"What we are looking for is not here." Ji An was going to the basement. In fact, it was not right to say basement, it should be an underground base.
The reason why Ji An knew about this place was because he heard Chen Chen and Tang Tang mention it when he was a ghost.
When he was a ghost, he could only wander in the bedroom of Chen Chen's house. Apart from there, he could not go anywhere else.
All the information he knew was discussed by Chen Chen and Tang Tang in the bedroom.
They said there was a village called Wolong under Yancheng County, Qingfeng City, and there was a hospital built by the Japanese in that village.
In fact, such foreign-funded enterprises usually choose big cities. Why would they set up in small rural areas? To provide free medical services? To give back to the society?
It's a pity that the Japanese don't have that kind of spirit towards the Chinese.
This comprehensive clinic is nominally just an outpatient clinic, but in fact an experimental base was dug underground when it was first built.
This experimental base specializes in human experiments and has a complete range of precious medical equipment.
The reason why Chen Chen and Tang Tang were discussing this was because this place was discovered shortly after his death.
Ji An only heard it once and he remembered the place name firmly. At that time, Chen Chen even took out a map to show Tang Tang the location, which Ji An also remembered.
In fact, Ji An likes research very much and is very talented in this area.
As soon as he entered university, he was able to join the laboratory of a famous professor at Kyoto University and work on projects with his supervisor.
That’s not all. He did a small research on his own and sold the patent for $200,000.
Unfortunately, it was the end of the world, and Chen Chen and Ji An were on the run, leaving no time or opportunity for Ji An to do research.
Later, Chen Chen finally became the commander of the base, but he had no experimental equipment.
The free experimental equipment had long been taken away by the supernaturals in the big bases. The experimental equipment that required money was extremely expensive and difficult to obtain, and they simply could not afford the materials for exchange.
So Ji An never had the opportunity to do research.
When he was a ghost and there was no one in the room, Ji An thought that if he could live his life again, he would only do two things.
The first thing is revenge.
But he didn't want the kind of short-term revenge where he could just kill the other person. He wanted them to be like him as a ghost, unable to do anything but watch their enemies upgrade their happiness. They would slowly suffer in their hearts and eventually go crazy.
Maybe others would want to kill their enemies immediately when they want revenge, but Ji An doesn't. Maybe he has been a ghost for too long and has become abnormal, and his thoughts are different from those of normal people.
Ji An wanted to make the two enemies torture each other mentally and physically, like monkeys being caught and collared and performing on stage.
And he was the spectator sitting in the audience, leisurely eating melon seeds and drinking iced soda.
When the monkeys were tortured to the point of being in a state of death, they would occasionally slap their hands to stimulate the dying monkeys. Then they would be stimulated to jump again, and then be tortured again, and then be tortured again.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and ended his own life.
This is the best revenge.
The second is that he should never compromise for anyone and give up his research.
He really, really likes doing experiments and research. He has many things he wants to invent, and he wants everyone to use his inventions.
When he was a ghost, he had already thought about the base he would go to if he could live his life again - the Jingshi base.
The base is small and there is no experimental equipment, so he cannot do the research he wants.
As for the Beijing base, Ji An had heard more than once that this large base attached great importance to scientific research and was almost one of the bases in the world that attached the most importance to scientific research.
Jingshi Base is Ji An's final destination after leaving the base this time, but he still needs some things when he goes there, such as a letter of allegiance.
Otherwise, it would be a pipe dream for an unknown person like him to join the most cutting-edge scientific research team at the base and use precious experimental equipment at will. No one with a normal mind would agree to it.
Ji An then thought of coming here to collect experimental equipment. With this batch of precious materials, he could join the scientific research team of the Beijing base.
Even if he couldn't join the most advanced team for some reason, he could apply to set up his own laboratory. He believed that with this batch of materials, it would be a very simple request.
