Chapter 77 As long as you have no morals, no one can hold you hostage.
The three of them didn't dare to delay and quickly jumped onto the vines on the wall, climbing up using both their hands and feet.
After quickly climbing four or five floors, they finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief and look down.
After the horde of zombies engulfed the vehicle, they climbed up the vines on the wall, trying to pull the people down.
Unfortunately, the zombies were stiff and could only climb a few meters before falling off the vines.
As the zombies fell to the ground, other zombies stepped on them and climbed up.
They fell down again, and kept stepping on it, piling up layer by layer until they formed a small mountain.
If someone falls in, they'll be devoured in no time, leaving no trace of their body, not even a chance to become a zombie.
Tao Yarong grimaced as she looked at it, exclaiming, "Sister, you're right. The difference between humans and zombies is that humans have brains. How could you come up with such a brilliant idea?"
She thought she would have to fight the zombies head-on and charge in.
Who knew that Meng Shiwan would lead them through a shortcut, allowing them to go directly to the tenth floor without having to fight the zombies at all.
How is this any different from cheating in a video game?
Lei Zhe clicked his tongue, "Not only is she amazing, she's also incredibly smart."
What they were most grateful for was that they had invited Meng Shiwan to come along on this mission.
Perhaps we can find a glimmer of hope in this seemingly hopeless situation.
The four of them climbed up the tenth floor along the vines and jumped into the window.
When the survivors saw them, so fresh and beautiful, standing right in front of them, they looked at each other in surprise.
Someone muttered, "Qiu Zhiyi is right, those who can drive in must be quite capable."
"The problem is, how are we going to get out of this mess of cars buried in a pile of zombies? I don't have the courage to climb down the vines on the wall."
Their biggest concern right now is how to get to the base alive.
The group of superhumans is very powerful; the real problem is how to get them away.
Only Qiu Zhiyi stared at Meng Shiwan with bright eyes, "Are you a dual-elemental ability user?"
The wood-based and lightning-based supernatural abilities that Meng Shiwan had just displayed truly impressed him.
Judging from the intensity of the power it displayed, its level of ability is not low.
He is a water-based ability user and often follows information about other ability users online.
Do you know how rare dual-elemental ability users are?
Tao Yarong and the other two followed behind Meng Shiwan. Upon hearing these words, their expressions were complicated, and they remained silent.
What dual-elemental ability user? Let him know I'm a six-elemental ability user, and I'll scare him to death.
Meng Shiwan extended her hand. "Hello."
Qiu Zhiyi was surprised that this girl, who was usually so cold and aloof, was actually quite enthusiastic.
He quickly shook hands politely, "Hello, my name is Qiu Zhiyi, and I am a water-type ability user who has come to the base for help."
Meng Shiwan glanced at him. He was young and decent-looking. Judging from the name tag on his chest, he was an attending physician.
If it weren't for the apocalypse, he would probably have been a very accomplished person. What a pity.
She asked, "Do you know how many survivors are in the hospital?"
Qiu Zhiyi said in a deep voice, "We have an internal group. We previously counted the number of survivors in the hospital. There are probably more than 3,000 survivors in the various buildings. There may be some patients who have not been counted yet."
The central hospital is very large, with seven or eight thousand staff members on a regular basis.
Before the apocalypse, a flu epidemic was rampant, with up to 20,000 people coming to see doctors and being hospitalized.
Including the family members accompanying patients, there are at least tens of thousands of people coming and going in this hospital.
Hospitals have various wards and examination rooms, which provide ample hiding space and can increase the chances of survival.
Three thousand survivors is not a large number compared to this base.
Meng Shiwan turned around and looked at Tao Yarong and the other two, "You contact the base and tell them about the situation here, and ask them to send a helicopter to pick up the survivors."
The survivors who had been anxiously waiting nearby immediately perked up when they heard that a helicopter was to be called.
We still need to call a helicopter to pick them up; there's hope.
Tao Yarong, on the contrary, was in a dilemma. "Sister, before the mission, we asked around for help to apply for a helicopter, but we couldn't get one. If we ask again now, they probably still won't give it to us."
Meng Shiwan was speechless. "What mission did the rescue team give you?"
Tao Yarong thought for a moment, "Take the water-type ability user from the Central Hospital back with you."
Meng Shiwan's gaze towards her was indescribable. "That's terrible. You report the situation back. They can send or not send, they can come or not. You just need to bring this water-type ability user back to complete the mission. What do the other survivors have to do with you?"
Tao Yarong: !!!
Lei Zhe: !!!
Anjavin: !!!
The other survivors nearby: !!!
Is that so?
Is this correct?
They're living, breathing people standing right next to us, and you just abandon them like that?
Tao Yarong hesitated, "Sister, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
After joining the rescue team, their daily motto was: "Never give up on any survivor, never give up on any human being."
Are you just going to abandon more than 3,000 survivors like this?
This action is somewhat of a challenge to her conscience.
Meng Shiwan patted her on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Only moral people can be manipulated. If you have no morals, no one can manipulate you."
How many people can we take out in our vehicles? We'll definitely need support. Whether or not to rescue them is a matter for the base to decide. Why are you worrying about this?
"With your conscience and your refusal to give up, could you really have delivered over three thousand people to the base one by one?"
Tao Yarong felt as if her Ren and Du meridians had been opened up.
"Hiss... Sis, what you said makes a lot of sense. I'll go inform the base about the situation right away."
They did everything they could, risking their lives to come to the scene and understand the situation.
They simply didn't have the ability to rescue the more than three thousand survivors.
Whether Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen will continue to make things difficult, or whether the base will send reinforcements, are not things they can control after sending all the messages back.
She walked to the side to make a phone call.
Lei Zhe and An Jiewen scratched their heads in unison.
I don't know why, but I always feel that what Meng Shiwan said is both very true and not quite right.
The survivors became even more anxious. Should they save them or not?
Meng Shiwan asked Qiu Zhiyi, "Are you familiar with hospitals?"
Qiu Zhiyi replied, "We're fairly familiar with each other."
Where are the pharmacies and essential medical equipment?
Tao Yarong and her team have found the water-type supernatural being they were looking for; now it's time for her to get back to her work.
Collect medical supplies.
Qiu Zhiyi thought for a moment, "The first floor of this building is a pharmacy, the second to fourth floors are for doctors' consultations, the fifth floor is for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners' consultations and a Chinese medicine pharmacy, and the sixth to twelfth floors are all various monitoring rooms, laboratories, and the like."
There are also some valuable medical devices in the inpatient department, as well as operating rooms there, and some in other buildings; these are mostly radiation-related medical devices.
When Qiu Zhiyi heard Meng Shiwan ask this question, he knew that she had come to collect supplies.
The base sent them through great difficulty to break in; they couldn't have come just to rescue him alone.
He didn't think he had that much influence; medical supplies were the priority.
He explained everything he knew in detail.
Meng Shiwan said to Qiu Zhiyi, "Come with us. We'll go to the twelfth floor first and kill our way down, floor by floor."
Qiu Zhiyi felt a pang in his heart. "Kill them layer by layer? There are many patients in this building who come for medical consultations and examinations, and there are also many zombies in the corridor outside. It will be very difficult to deal with them."
Lei Zhe walked up to him, put her arm around his shoulder, and said, "Dude, trust me. If I say it's okay, it's okay. The three of us recorded our last words last night to save you, and we still found you alive and kicking today."
Qiu Zhiyi said anxiously, "But there are so many zombies, almost as many as in the parking lot. We can't kill them all, and we might even lose our lives."
Lei Zhe comforted him, "If we can't make it, I can. Trust me, I'll let you experience the thrill of being carried by a pro."
Qiu Zhiyi stared at Lei Zhe with a look that said, "Are you sick?"
He just saw Meng Shiwan use her dual superpowers to climb up the outer wall.
But clearing out floors means truly fighting zombies head-on; there's no room for shortcuts, and it's even more dangerous.
How come the others dared to follow that girl's lead without any concern for safety?
What kind of magic does this girl possess that makes several people risk their lives for her?
Tao Yarong came over after finishing her phone call.
Anjavin asked, "What did they say from the base?"
Tao Yarong sighed, "I called our team leader to explain the situation, and the team leader said he would consult with his superiors before making a decision."
Anjawen pursed his lips. "The base keeps saying they won't abandon any survivors, and they will send rescue teams."
The difficulties they faced from Meng Qingyue stemmed from a conflict between them.
However, the base has always been very proactive in rescuing survivors.
Tao Yarong's phone rang.
She clicked on it, took a deep breath with her eyes closed, and forced herself to calm down.
Otherwise, she felt she might really be furious.
Seeing her like this, Lei Zhe asked, "What's wrong?"
Tao Yarong gritted her teeth, "The captain just sent a message saying that he would send a helicopter to rescue us, but he wants us to gather all the survivors on the rooftop."
Several thousand survivors, several hospital buildings, all filled with zombies.
They actually sent three low-level superhumans to clear out the zombies in the central hospital and then send the survivors to the rooftop to gather.
I really don't know if I'm giving them too much credit.
They have no choice but to die.
Lei Zhe was about to swear, "They're not treating us like human beings! If it weren't for my sister, the three of us would have died on the way here!"
Now that we've finally found a water-based ability user, we don't even know how to get back! And now I have a new mission? We're supposed to clear out all the zombies in the hospital and then gather all the survivors on the rooftop.
Why make things so complicated? Just order us to jump into the zombie horde and die!
Anjiewen, who was usually a man of few words, was now so angry that his heart was pounding.
"If I survive this trip, I will leave the rescue team. Even if I have to scavenge for points to support my family, it's better than being pushed to my death like this."
After the three of them finished cursing, they all looked at Meng Shiwan with a mixture of despair and a glimmer of hope.
Their sister.
Their boss.
Their only lifeline.
Meng Shiwan shrugged. "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm going to clean the floors anyway, it's just something I do on the side."
The three of them immediately rushed over, grabbed Meng Shiwan's legs, and cried loudly.
Tao Yarong: "Sister, from now on you are my real sister."
Lei Zhe: "If I can get back alive, my life belongs to you, sister. Just say the word, and I'll go through fire and water for you."
Anjiewen: "I owe you more than just my life. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."
Qiu Zhiyi, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.
He now understood why these three were so obedient; when told to fight zombies to the death, they went without hesitation.
The other survivors were also stunned, and asked uncertainly, "Then, does that mean we're saved?"
Lei Zhe, who had been wailing, stopped crying and sneered, "You're saved! You're absolutely saved! We'll risk our lives to save you."
The resentment was greater than if he had been dead for three days.
The survivors shrank back, too afraid to speak.
She was afraid that he would get so angry that he would stand up and bite her.
