You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

Chapter 204 Hospital

"Don't you all want to end up like those under Gao Feng?"

Liu Bing's sharp gaze swept over the crowd.

"You just want to keep muddling along?"

"Living day to day without assurances?"

Actually, his words were a bit of an exaggeration.

Compared to the majority of the survivors in the safe area, the treatment of the Hunter Squad was already quite good.

At least they did not have to worry about going hungry one meal and full the next, always worrying about their stomachs.

The only problem was the danger.

The casualty rate was too high.

It was precisely because of the much higher casualty rate compared to other units of the Combat Department that the members of the Hunter Squad generally lacked ambition.

Commander?

Appointed from above.

No matter how well these subordinates performed, they would just earn more exchange coupons, which they then spent on those women.

And nobody knew if they would be alive tomorrow.

This led to even more indulgent behavior among them.

Eating, drinking, playing around was all there was.

However, the transfer of Gao Feng a month ago changed this situation.

Everyone who followed her to Jiangbei was officially registered in the Combat Department, enjoying the same treatment as the combat teams.

Not only did it greatly reduce the frequency of their duty, but it also increased their salary and benefits.

Who wouldn't envy that?

As for the vacancies left by their transfer, they were all filled by newcomers.

In other words, Gao Feng and her people had essentially left the Hunter Squad, forming a special force that combined both security and reconnaissance.

When one person attained success, everyone associated with them rose as well.

This also raised the status of those under her considerably.

So the moment Gao Feng was mentioned, all of her subordinates fell silent instantly.

Seeing this expression on their faces, Liu Bing knew that these guys were definitely tempted, and it was time to give them another strong dose of encouragement.

He signaled with his eyes for his men to look behind.

Everyone subconsciously looked back and saw Zhang Ye's gaze seeming to rest on them, instantly understanding something.

"Got it now?"

"Director Zhang is watching us."

"If we do a good job with this, maybe next time we'll be the ones transferred out!"

The young Hunter who was initially reluctant immediately stepped forward.

"Commander, is that true?"

"They're going to transfer more people?"

Liu Bing thought to himself, transfer my ass.

Yet seeing the hopeful eyes of his subordinates, he immediately cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"What else?"

"You think I'm a fool?"

"Knowing the dangers and still rushing to offer up our lives?"

The Hunters thought that made sense, Commander Liu was always a cautious one, not taking action until he saw the rewards.

If he said so, then it must be that he had caught wind of something.

With that thought, everything seemed different in an instant.

Every man's eyes burned with fire.

"Brothers!"

"The time to fight for our future is here!"

Seeing the time was right, Liu Bing immediately raised his voice and called out:

"Move out!"

The Hunters who were just reluctant were now full of fighting spirit:

"Roar!"

The eleven-man squad quickly crossed the broken gate and headed towards the outpatient building behind the parking lot.

Distant figures stood on the truck.

"Send a few more people inside?"

Zhang Ye watched the Hunter Squad move swiftly across the parking lot without blinking, but suddenly heard Xu Lin's voice next to him.

He turned to glance at the other, then shook his head.

He saw very clearly what Liu Bing was thinking.

In fact, since Gao Feng was promoted to Jiangbei Base Camp Commander, many people had started to show off in front of him, both overtly and covertly.

Sending people to help him now might actually lead to conflicts.

In their eyes, it would seem like stealing the credit.

There wouldn't be any cooperation to speak of.

If they encountered danger, it would most likely result in the total annihilation of the force.

So, it was better to let them have their way and leave the entire mission to the Hunter Squad to handle.

Success would bring joy to all.

Failure...

There's no shortage of people in the safe zone; survivors envious of the Hunter Squad's treatment could line up all the way from Jiangbei to the base.

"It's good to be ambitious,"

"but it's uncertain whether he has the life to realize it,"

Zhang Ye muttered as he watched the Hunter Squad vanish into the outpatient building.

——————

The outpatient department building.

Liu Bing looked up, clenched his teeth, and waved his hand:

"Everyone be careful."

"Go in."

Corpses were strewn everywhere on the stairs.

Dry bloodstains spread from the steps like a red carpet all the way to the lobby.

The Hunters split into two groups, all following behind Liu Bing in single file.

The ground was littered with scattered human bones.

Stepping on them by accident made a rattling noise.

It only made their already tense mood tenser, their movements stiffer.

Before even entering the lobby, everyone was covered in a cold sweat, soaking their brown and yellow uniforms completely through.

"Huh—"p>

Liu Bing suddenly let out a breath of relief.

The lobby behind the glass seemed equally desolate.

But the floor had completely changed color.

Mottled bloodstains were everywhere.

On the waiting room's row of chairs, several bodies were decaying.

However, as everyone searched the lobby, they found only a few zombies in white uniforms behind the registration desk's glass.

The corridors and passageways were empty.

Just as Liu Bing felt perplexed, suddenly, one of his subordinates approached and reminded him:

"Captain, look over there."

Following his subordinate's gaze, he looked immediately.

On the sleek, shiny floor, the trail of blood was clearly visible.

It stretched from the lobby into the depths of the corridor.

A look of gravity instantly crossed Liu Bing's face.

"Let's go,"

"Check it out."

The Hunters quickly rallied behind him and followed the blood trail into the corridor.

"Eh?"

"How did it branch off?"

Surprised at the sight of the bloodstains forking off like a crossroad, Liu Bing felt confused. The trail closest to him disappeared behind a door on the right.

The blood ahead pointed to different rooms.

The trail that was the deepest and most pronounced, however, disappeared in front of the pharmacy's door.

"You, go check it out."

"Me?"

The man's heart pounded as Liu Bing pointed at him.

The others secretly rejoiced.

Cursing his bad luck internally, he could only nod reluctantly, and then carefully approached the door next to the staircase.

Gurgle.

As the door loomed close, the man felt his throat go dry.

Opening doors could still be terrifying no matter how many times one had done it.

It was unknown how many had died at the hands of zombies or Mutant Beasts suddenly lunging from behind a door.

His fingers finally touched the door panel.

The pressure gradually increased.

Hmm?

It's locked?

A wave of relief washed over the man, and a smug expression couldn't help but appear on his face.

But just as he was about to turn around to tell the others they couldn't enter because the door was locked, the door panel in front of him suddenly began to vibrate!

Bang Bang Bang!

Something was slamming against the door from the inside!

Then came the familiar scratching sound and a low growl like heavy breathing!

Before the man could step back, two companions immediately rushed up with guns!

The group quickly surrounded the entrance to the stairs, their eyes behind the shield filled with vigilance and fear, as well as a trace of 'I knew it' realization.

There were indeed zombies in the hospital.

Right behind the door.
