Xu Xing did a quick search on the first floor of the hospital.
Nothing of great value was found. Xu Xing had already known from the hospital layout map that the largest medicine warehouse was on the second floor.
However, in each of the examination rooms, a number of large medical machines were found.
Like X-rays, CT scans, etc...
These things, which were worth a fortune before the apocalypse, are now just scrap metal.
Xu Xing had no intention of accepting these things, firstly because they were too big and bulky, and secondly because they took up a lot of space.
Secondly, it wouldn't be of much use to Xu Xing even if he took it. Although there was a generator that could supply power to it, nobody knew how to use it.
Even in the future, if we manage to recruit such talent, we can come back and take them again.
After all, with these things left here, it's unlikely that any survivor would attempt to move them at this stage.
The main task at this stage is still to search for medicines, because those are the real and tangible things.
When searching the first floor one by one, we didn't encounter any significant obstacles.
Except for one zombie doctor on night duty in the emergency room, who was instantly killed by Xu Xing without even making a sound.
The remaining departments were all empty, and Xu Xing casually took away some small gadgets such as laryngoscopes and gastroscopes.
This private hospital is not very large; it consists of only one circular building.
It's unrealistic for just a few people to search it all; the main thing is to look at the distribution map.
They searched through places with more prestigious-sounding names, but didn't pay much attention to the other public areas.
Because the current power system has long since collapsed.
So Xu Xing and the others went up the emergency staircase.
Several human bodies remained on the emergency staircase.
Judging from the manner of death, it shouldn't have been the work of zombies; otherwise, they wouldn't be lying here, but would have become zombies.
It's estimated that some patients who were hospitalized upstairs came here to hide, but before they even saw any zombies, their own illnesses gave way, and they died here.
Xu Xing stepped past them expressionlessly, but suddenly noticed something.
The higher you go, the stronger the smell of disinfectant becomes; it's obvious that this smell is coming from the upper floors.
However, the smell of disinfectant alone was not enough to scare them away.
Xu Xing pushed open the emergency stairwell door and found that the situation here was indeed much more complicated than on the first floor.
Most of the area on the second floor is maternity wards.
Every new mother recuperating here is accompanied by a family member.
However, according to the message that the dog relayed through Susie, based on the only available scent, there should be no survivors on the second floor.
In short, no one survived.
Dark red blood clots were everywhere in the corridors on the second floor of the hospital.
The confined space felt extremely disgusting.
The entire second floor was even quieter than the lobby on the first floor.
Susie couldn't help but ask.
"Xu Xing, where did those women who had given birth go?"
Xu Xing sighed softly and explained.
"Well, normally, zombies can indiscriminately infect normal humans, but there is also a very special type of person."
That's a pregnant woman.
Susie: "Are they able to avoid infection?"
Xu Xing: "No! It's even more terrifying than infection."
Once a woman is several months pregnant, she can actually be considered as two lives.
Babies born in the womb have active factors from birth.
In short, this means that the baby can avoid infection, but the mother's body is indeed infected.
Under these two conflicts, the mechanisms of human instinct will become disordered, and the energy of the entire body will involuntarily explode.
And then... he exposed himself!
Xu Xing walked down the corridor, randomly opened a door, and continued speaking.
"You see, it's a pregnant woman's instinct to protect the child. After self-destruction, a new kind of semi-life form will be created, called a corpse infant."
Susie was puzzled, "How come there's nothing in there besides blood, like the things they mentioned?"
"No?"
Xu Xing turned his head back from chatting with Su Xixi and stared wide-eyed at everything in the room.
"Something's wrong! Where are those corpse infants?"
According to the information Xu Xing had, the corpse infant would definitely have been created when the pregnant woman exposed herself.
However, they are semi-living entities, lacking any intelligence or abilities.
Like a zombie-like plant, it can only stay in place, and then disappear and dissolve on its own after a period of time.
Xu Xing quickly kicked open the doors of each room, one by one, and swiftly eliminated the few zombies that had come to keep him company.
Looking carefully at every corner, I indeed found that the corpse infants seemed to have vanished on their own.
After searching for a while, Xu Xing finally gave up and could only speculate that there might be other possibilities.
Perhaps this group of pregnant women is a bit special...
After all, those corpse infants don't cause any harm; at most, they can scare other people who know about them.
Since he didn't understand, Xu Xing simply stopped thinking about it.
Following the directions he had seen earlier, Xu Xing finally arrived at the warehouse where the medicines were stored.
The warehouse door is made of opaque, thick, bulletproof glass.
On the right is a facial recognition system, which appears to be independently powered; it even lit up as Xu Xing passed by.
There is also one at the bottom, as an emergency backup, in case the upper one is damaged and the medicine cannot be retrieved in a short time.
