242 ? The tenth store

242 The Tenth Store

◎The limited-time experience card expired.◎

Xinchuan Hospital is like a stagnant pond with piranhas. The piranhas in the pond have been hungry for a long time. The three living people who stepped into the square were like three pieces of fresh bait thrown into the water. The smell of fresh food was especially fresh in the stinky pond. The mechanically wandering zombies began to move slowly towards the three people.

Wu Ling observed for a moment, turned back and rode the electric car again, carrying the two guests directly to the main entrance of the hospital.

Before the zombie tide surrounded him, he locked the electric car and took He Xinze and Liu Cheng into the hospital.

As soon as he entered the door, Wu Ling held his breath uncomfortably: "It stinks."

He Xinze and Liu Cheng did not smell any strange smell. There were a dozen zombies scattered in the spacious hall, which looked very sparse.

Liu Cheng's heart slowly calmed down: "There are no zombies. It's a pity that I was so worried just now."

He Xinze frowned: "I don't think it's normal. Xinchuan Hospital is a big hospital. There are many doctors and patients when the accident happened. There shouldn't be only so many zombies."

Wu Ling nodded: "That's true. What do you want to find? You'd better hurry up. It will be troublesome if everyone gathers around later."

Hospital halls usually have signboards to help patients find the department they want to go to.

However, the lobby of Xinchuan Hospital was empty, and there were no warning signs.

He Xinze knew something about hospitals, and generally pharmacies were in the lobby

on the first floor. The three of them walked around the first floor and found the pharmacy without much effort.

The door of the Western pharmacy was half-open, and there were several zombies lying at the door.

He Xinze had a bad feeling in his heart, and when he pushed the door open, he saw that the medicine shelf had fallen over, and the ground was full of empty medicine boxes.

Someone had been here before them, and the pharmacy had been emptied.

There was a thick layer of dust on the medicine table and shelves, and this pharmacy must have been emptied a long time ago.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng rummaged around and found bits and pieces of antibiotic pills, vitamin tablets, elixirs for treating various common illnesses, cold elixirs, some anti-inflammatory ointments, and ointments for bruises and injuries, which were better than nothing.

He Xinze didn't give up and went to the Chinese medicine store across the street to look for medicine.

The Chinese medicine store was in a better condition than the Western medicine store, and there were still a lot of prepared medicinal materials left in the medicine cabinet.

However, they had not been taken care of for a long time, and many of the medicinal materials were moldy and infested with insects, so there were not many that could be used.

He Xinze picked out some that could be used and packed them up, and at least filled up a backpack.

After coming out of the Chinese medicine store, He Xinze called Liu Cheng and Wu Ling: "I want to go to the medicine store."

Wu Ling: "Where is the medicine store?"

He Xinze: "Upstairs, either the second or third floor."

The three of them went up the stairs.

In order to reduce the weight, He Xinze hid the backpack full of medicine under the information desk in the lobby.

There were out-of-service elevators on both sides of the stairs, but the stairs were very narrow. He Xinze was worried that if something happened, there would be no room to escape, so he asked the two to go up the stairs with him.

While going up the stairs, Wu Ling kept staring at the elevator next to him.

Liu Cheng didn't know what he was looking at, and asked nervously: "What's the problem with the elevator?"

Wu Ling's eyes lit up and he tilted his head to look at him: "Is that really an elevator? It looks very similar to what I saw on the Internet, but why doesn't it slide up and down? Is it because no one is standing on it?"

Liu Cheng stared at Wu Ling in surprise, his heart beating fast and his face looked strange: "Are you okay?"

Wu Ling realized that he had asked a stupid question, so he retracted his gaze and resumed his cool and fashionable demeanor.

After a while, He Xinze said, "The elevator isn't moving because there's no electricity. Not only the elevator, but the entire city has stopped operating due to the outbreak of the zombie virus. Before long, all humans will become extinct, just like the dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago."

Wu Ling heard the word "dinosaur" for the first time. He wanted to ask but was afraid of being called "sick", so he silently memorized the term and prepared to go back to the Internet cafe after work to check it out.

Seeing Wu Ling remained silent, He Xin Ze said to himself, "But I think human extinction is worse than dinosaurs. After we die, we will all become those ugly creatures wandering in the hall. Drifting like duckweed, eating our own kind, without consciousness, thoughts, or future."

Wu Ling didn't quite understand human emotions until they found the medicine store on the third floor. He suddenly said, "With the errand shop here, you won't become extinct so easily."

Liu Cheng looked back at him in shock, shaking his head and complaining, "Is his reaction arc a little too long?"

He Xin Ze ignored the two of them and concentrated on studying the door lock of the medicine store.

The keyhole was complicated. The good news was that the door had not been pried open, and there must be a lot of medicine inside. The bad news was that without the key, they could not open the door.

He Xinze took out a black hairpin from somewhere and turned it around the keyhole, trying to open it with a "homemade method". He did not make any progress until his forehead was sweating.

The zombies around showed signs of gathering, and there were more than a dozen zombies wandering around the edge than at the beginning.

Wuling stepped forward and squeezed him, aiming his finger at the keyhole. His fingertips turned into thin branches and stretched in, groping for the path in the keyhole.

Click-click-click-click-

his fingers turned three times in a row before the door was opened.

Wuling covered it tightly, and neither He Xinze nor Liu Cheng could see his operation clearly.

When Liu Cheng saw the door open, he uttered several Chinese curses in a row, his tone quite excited.

Wuling walked in front, and there seemed to be some resistance behind the door, and he felt a faint resistance.

He pushed hard, and there was a rattling sound from behind the door.

Wuling walked in first, and his eyes flashed when he saw the scene behind the door.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng followed behind tremblingly, and their faces changed slightly when they saw what was behind the door clearly.

There were several half-dried corpses, with intact heads and no signs of zombification, and skinny arms stretched upwards.

These people were probably medical personnel who had hurriedly hidden in the medicine storehouse when the zombie virus broke out, and were eventually trapped and died here.

He Xinze sighed and turned to look for medicine.

He had finally entered the medicine storehouse, and he probably wouldn't have a chance to come in again, so he wanted to take as much as possible.

After seeing those mummies, all the pessimistic thoughts in He Xinze's mind instantly disappeared, and they gathered into the strongest will again - to survive! He wanted to survive!

No matter if he is like a pig or a dog, or an ox or a horse, he must find a way to survive!

The types of medicines in the medicine warehouse are much richer than those in the pharmacy downstairs. He Xinze was dazzled and had difficulty making a decision.

Liu Cheng found a few medicine boxes and discussed with He Xinze in a low voice: "Brother, let's take more medicine out and hide it in a safe place. Don't bring all of it back to the base."

He Xinze: "This is too much, and where can we find a safe place?"

Liu Cheng: "I think the place near the errand shop is not bad. It's better than the base anyway. Load the medicine first, and then think of a way out!"

He Xinze and Liu Cheng whispered to each other, thinking that Wuling couldn't hear.

Wuling listened to it, but didn't interrupt, and squatted in front of the corpses to observe alone.

The corpses were all wearing white coats. Wu Ling had only seen similar clothes in TV dramas.

He was particularly curious, but unfortunately, they were all dead.

At first, he just looked and observed for a while. Wu Ling couldn't help but take action and took out a few paper balls from the pockets of the white coats of the corpses.

Wu Ling was about to open them to take a look when He Xinze and Liu Cheng came back.

They each pushed a large medicine box, which was stacked with a small medicine box inside, storing some medicines that were not easy to preserve.

The backpack on Liu Cheng's back was also full of medicines.

Wu Ling stood up and casually threw the paper ball into the Qiankun bag. Before opening the door of the medicine store, he told the two guests: "There is some trouble outside. Remember to follow me closely and don't panic."

He Xinze and Liu Cheng had some knowledge of the errand runner's ability, so they didn't take it seriously.

With the errand runner's ability, he could easily handle any troublesome situation.

As soon as the door was opened, the densely packed zombies almost filled the space in front of the medicine store. The fishy smell mixed with the stench attacked, making people roll over.

The two held their breath, pushed Wu Ling to lock the door again, and leaned against the door and took a deep breath.

Liu Cheng raised his eyes and glared at Wu Ling: "That's called 'some' troubles? You still plan to lead us out? Are you going to die?"

Wu Ling said calmly: "Just follow me closely, nothing will happen."

Liu Cheng felt that this man really had a problem with his brain, and he couldn't make sense.

In ten minutes, Wu Ling tried to open the door three times, but was held down by Liu Cheng again.

There were more and more zombies outside the door.

He Xinze saw the corpses pushed aside, and his expression was desperate: "Is this how they were trapped to death?"

Hiding in the safest place in the entire hospital, he couldn't escape the siege of zombies in the end.

Either die outside the door, or die inside the door, anyway, there is no way to survive.

Wu Ling broke off two thin peach branches from his body, tied them into a circle and handed them to the two people: "Wear them on your wrists and follow me out."

Liu Cheng looked disgusted: "What is this?"

Wu Ling suppressed his temper: "Amulet. Peach wood wards off evil spirits. Wear it and you won't be attacked by those things. I have to run another order and can't keep wasting time here with you guys." It

was simply cold and ruthless!

Liu Cheng: "...You...straight man, no wife!"

He Xinze looked carefully at the branch bracelet in his hand, which still had a fresh leaf on it.

"Peach trees still have leaves in this season? Where did you pick them from?"

Wu Ling was already fully aware of the two people's chattering, so he didn't respond and directly opened the door of the medicine store.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng really didn't dare to complain anymore. They quickly put on their bracelets, pushed the medicine box, and followed Wuling closely.

Wuling pulled out the long sword on his back. He didn't cut anyone, but used the sword energy to open a path.

There were too many zombies. Even if their heads were chopped off, the bodies would stay in place and there would be no path.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng followed Wuling and were surprised to find that the zombies didn't seem to have the intention to attack them.

They were all staring at Wuling who was leading the way. But Wuling was too strong. They couldn't even get close to him.

A path was forcibly opened in the hall occupied by zombies. The three of them walked quickly and came to the stairs.

There were also a large number of zombies gathered on the platform on the second floor, slightly less than on the third floor. The three of them might be able to get rid of them if they ran down quickly.

But the medicine boxes pushed by He Xinze and Liu Cheng were a burden, and they were reluctant to give up the medicines they had obtained with great difficulty.

Wu Ling sighed. He really wanted to put all the people and medicines in the Qiankun bag, but the rules of the store did not allow it.

This job is really a tempering job.

Wu Ling used the props given by the store owner on the two people's medicine boxes - special stickers that can make items lighter, and then asked the two to carry the light medicine boxes and follow him closely.

On the second floor platform, a zombie with particularly long arms and legs appeared. Unlike ordinary zombies that walk upright, it crawled on the ground with one leg bent and its hands on the ground. The skin and flesh on its body had been mostly rotten, and only a piece of skin wrapped around an angular skull remained. When it screamed, its teeth were exposed, and the teeth were stained with dried blood and minced meat.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng's scalps tingled. They stood still and observed for a moment, not daring to look directly at the zombie. They quietly hid behind Wu Ling, but they couldn't hide anywhere with such a large medicine box in their hands.

The long-legged zombie jumped up lightly, its bones making a crackling sound. It was several times faster than an ordinary zombie and as agile as a cat, and rushed straight behind Wuling.

Wuling was slightly surprised. During the staff training, the old staff said that most zombies were unconscious, and only a very small number of zombies had abnormal movement speeds, the ability to control ordinary zombies, and even special abilities, which were called mutant zombies.

The zombie in front of him was obviously a mutant zombie. Not only did it have an abnormal movement speed, it could even distinguish the strength of its prey. It abandoned Wuling and wanted to attack the two people behind him who were easier to prey.

Wu Ling swung his sword upwards, and a soft peach branch stretched out from his wrist, using the sword as a cover, wrapping around the mutant zombie's wrist and pulling it down. Wu Ling raised his foot to step on it, then stabbed out with his long sword in the backhand, breaking the skull.

With its head broken, the mutant zombie, which looked like a skeleton, seemed to have lost its vitality and scattered all over the ground.

Wu Ling put away his long sword and called out without looking back: "Let's go!"

He Xinze and Liu Cheng tiptoed down the stairs, fearing that they would step on any zombie remains. They couldn't help but sigh again in their hearts: Fortunately, they called a runner, otherwise ten lives would not be enough!

The three finally escaped from the Xinchuan Hospital, which was like a zombie nest.

At the hospital gate, He Xinze immediately placed another order and asked the errand runner to take them back to the street where the errand shop was located.

Wu Ling resigned himself to his fate and continued to send the two guests back.

On the roadside, Wu Ling completed the order and immediately collected the store's stickers and special service peach bracelets.

Liu Cheng touched the peach branch on his wrist reluctantly: "Brother, can't you give this to me?"

Wu Ling reached out to take it back, expressionless: "No!"

Wu Ling was like a ruthless working machine. After the order was completed, there was no more warmth.

The electric car sped away as it came.

Liu Cheng and He Xinze stood on the roadside, a little confused for a moment.

It was like a limited-time experience card expired, and they suddenly felt regretful, empty, and insecure.
