Tang Shaoyang nailed right on the spot with his guess. A group of survivors consisted of twelve adult females, three males, four elderly, and two children were hiding in the storage room of the hospital's cafeteria.
"Doctor Kang, his temperature keeps rising! We need medicine to help him!" A female in a dirty nurse uniform reported to the female wore a blue shirt.
Kang Xue was the newly hired Doctor in SH Hospital. At that time when she was accepted by SH Hospital, she thought that a bright future was waiting for her. The biggest hospital in SH City and the top ten hospitals in the country, everyone would have the same thought as hers.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
However, she never thought such an absurd disaster struck. While she was in the midnight shift, a zombie appeared next to her. Her quick reaction saved her from the zombie's first strike. Now, she had saved eleven female nurses and a few patients.
"Just leave him be! Let him die already, don't torment him! We can save more food as well with that," one of the male survivors chimed at the moment the female nurse reported the little boy's condition.
Those remarks caused Kang Xue to frown. The male who just spoke was also a fellow doctor just like her. How could a doctor speak like that? The doctor was supposed to be saving a life, not watching them die. However, Kang Xue did not bother to talk back as she walked to the corner of the room, where the boy was lying down. An emergency ax was hanging around her left hand, making her look more like a butcher as blood covered the ax.
She walked to the little boy and squatted down. Sweat flooded his face, his lips had lost their color, and the boy's body was quivering despite losing his consciousness. She put her hand on his forehead to check his body's temperature. It was extremely hot for a body's temperature. Even though she was a doctor, she was helpless without medicine.
"If you don't want to watch him being tortured like that, give your ax, let me end his life!" The male doctor continued as he stared at the emergency ax. The emergency ax was the one who saved them from the zombie. He wanted to have it to protect his life and ran away from this damned place if he could.
At those words, Kang Xue turned toward the male doctor. Her eyes showed some hostility toward him.
Kang Xue's muscle loosened a little as she found no movement around the kitchen. She paused her steps as she tried to recall the layout of the hospital. She was in the cafeteria on the second floor. The closest medicine storage was on the first floor.
Fortunately, there was an emergency stair near the cafeteria. She just needed to come out of the kitchen area and moved to the right corridor a few meters.
Kang Xue gulped out as her heartbeat spiking up again. Slowly, she crept her way out the kitchen toward the dimmed corridor. She peeked to the right and left, making sure there was no zombie around. As no zombie could be seen around, she braced herself and turned toward the right. Twenty-three steps, it was right twenty-three steps as she counted it inwardly.
Fortunate enough the door to the emergency stair was open. She peeked inside and it was safe, no zombies around. She released the breath she had been holding in a while in one go.
Maybe God perceived her good intention so God cleared the way to get the medicine. The path to the storage on the first floor was clear. From the emergency stair, she needed to go to the right corridor to reach the storage. She peeked out once again and it was safe once again. To the left corridor was toward the lobby, but she needed to go right. Moreover, the lobby was filled with zombies, the last place she wanted to go.
As it was safe, she came out and went to the right corridor. Maybe, she had used all her luck to reach the first floor, the moment she turned her head toward the right, a shiny blade of the scythe appeared in front of her face.
—Death!
That was what she thought at this moment.
Boom!
But then something big crushed the creature in front of her. God had not abandoned her it seemed.
"Hello, lady! Don't daze around like that or you may get killed!" A voice came right from behind.
