Chapter 206 Inpatient Department
Chapter 206 Inpatient Department
"What about the other rooms?"
"Have they all been searched?"
Liu Bing's mood instantly became tense as he stared at the zombie before him.
Giving a zombie an IV drip, could that be a normal person?
Most likely a madman.
And, considering the zombies that had been locked up downstairs, the strength of these people was likely formidable, enough to pose a threat to them.
They had to find them as soon as possible!
However, the responses of a few subordinates made his heart sink again.
"Searched them."
"Nothing at all."
"The general situation is similar to downstairs."
Wait, similar to downstairs?
Liu Bing suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Just one glance at the subordinates responsible for the search here was enough.
He understood.
The zombies on the second floor were not just this one.
Just a short distance from this room, there were several tightly shut doors.
The rustling sounds were clearly audible.
At least a dozen of them.
Liu Bing couldn't afford to be surprised and simply led his men upstairs to the third floor.
The situation was basically the same as on the second floor.
Deserted and empty.
Everywhere were bloodstains and trash.
And the different consultation rooms located on both sides of the reception desk passages.
Over thirty percent of the doors were either tightly closed or locked from the outside.
You didn't need to think to know what was locked inside.
All zombies.
Then the fourth floor, the fifth floor, all the way up to the dental department on the top seventh floor, each level was as if copy-pasted.
On each level, there was at least one or a few zombies tied to the beds.
But the medicine bottles on the IV stands were all different.
Some were even gutted.
Like an opened wallet.
And the two zombies found on the seventh floor at the dental department had their lower jaws removed and all their teeth had been pulled out, leaving them completely bare.
The bloodstains at the scene indicated that all this had happened not long ago.
Probably no more than three days ago.
In other words, three days ago there were some people here.
They tied up these two zombies and not only pried open their jaws, but also removed their sharp teeth one by one.
But why?
What was the purpose of these people doing this?
By now, Liu Bing wasn't too willing to believe that this was just some practical joke by a person or a group.
After pondering for a long time, he finally reluctantly picked up the walkie-talkie.
Ten minutes later, the people from the Combat Department arrived.
With their help, this building could temporarily be called safe.
A few high-level company managers naturally followed and came in as well.
No helping it, they all had restless natures.
Even Wang Hu, who had become a branch company general manager, remained the same as before, frequently leading his subordinates into the fray personally.
The work of the transport company wasn't any secure business.
The danger was second only to the Combat Department.
For the drivers, driving alone through various danger zones was completely routine, just like the long hauls they used to run.
Under their seats were crooked knives.
Always ready for action.
And this fierce and rough style of work had been learned from their general manager, Wang Hu.
"Tsk."
"What a bore."
"I thought we were going to have a play of room escape."
Wang Hu curled his lips, his face showing undisguised disappointment.
Sometimes he felt quite pathetic.
The higher the position, the less the thrill.
Utterly bland.
It was no easy feat to join Zhang Ye on a joint mission, only to find that the hospital building, which should have been teeming with people, was actually empty!
To say it wasn't a letdown would be bullshit.
I'd have been better off driving to Jiangnan District to take a look myself.
Just recently, I heard from Old Tian that survivors were discovered there.
As soon as Xu Lin arrived, he busied himself leading people to inspect the place, and after a cursory glance at the bodies here, he quickly moved on.
That left only the two high-level managers, Zhang Ye and Wang Hu, in the room.
"Boss."
"I'm going downstairs to take a look."
While Zhang Ye was pondering who could have been behind this, Wang Hu by his side had already dropped these two sentences and left with a few people.
He was probably figuring out how to open the door to the pharmacy below.
The transportation company he managed was in dire need of medicine.
Any amount he could get his hands on was a bonus.
By the time Zhang Ye snapped back to attention, all that was left by his side was Liu Bing from the Hunter Squad.
"Did you all touch the bodies?"
Zhang Ye asked, looking at the somewhat uneasy Hunter Squad leader before him.
The so-called "bodies" were actually still moving.
It was unclear whether it was the antibiotics in the bottle that were taking effect, but the zombie on the bed's struggling had gradually weakened.
Only its eyes continued to stare fixedly at the two men in the room.
Liu Bing hurriedly shook his head upon hearing this.
"No, nobody touched them."
"I notified you as soon as it was discovered."
As he spoke, the sycophancy on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a harsh tone:
"If any bastard dared touch them, I'd chop off their hands!"
After saying this, he returned to eagerly lifting his head, looking at Zhang Ye like a groveling dog, with a sly smile occasionally squeezed onto his face.
"Well done."
"Liu Bing, right? I remember you."
Zhang Ye looked at him approvingly, patted his shoulder, and continued:
"With the three of you in the Hunter Squad, I've always been reassured."
Not only did these words excite Liu Bing, but the Hunters standing guard at the door also felt their blood boil.
What is a subordinate's biggest fear?
Being forgotten by the boss.
How can you talk about promotions and rewards when your boss doesn't even know your name, no matter how well you do your job?
That's just pie in the sky.
But now, for Zhang Ye, a person who had only met Liu Bing once, to still remember his name, what did that indicate?
It meant Liu Bing's promotion and raise were just a matter of time!
His name was already on the list!
In addition to feeling envious, the others were also excited.
After all, Liu Bing was their leader, and if he got promoted, he would surely take some of his men with him, just like Captain Gao did.

Maybe then they could escape this precarious life?
Just as they were excitedly thinking about seizing this opportunity to show off more, a gunshot suddenly rang out from outside.
The sound was somewhat muffled, clearly coming from the company's standard-issue pistol.
Footsteps rapidly approached from outside the room.
A face peeked in.
"Director Zhang!"
"There's trouble outside!"
The outpatient building was not the hospital's only structure.
Behind it stood a towering twelve-story building.
The inpatient department building.
Human shadows flickered in a spacious hall.
A few women in white uniforms looked at the men before them with an indescribable tension, which quickly turned to disgust.
Before Ding Zhixiong could say anything to stop them, one of the younger nurses twisted her head and ran up the staircase.
The remaining two also wanted to flee but were caught by the soldiers before they could make a move.
"Catch them!"
"Damn it, one got away!"
"Leave a few to watch these two, the rest of you, with me, up the stairs!"
Ding Zhixiong made a decisive move; two soldiers immediately stepped out of formation, while the others hurriedly chased the woman up the stairs.
"Be careful."
"If there's danger, shoot immediately."
The first priority of the Combat Department during missions was to ensure the safety of oneself and the team, authorizing lethal force against any target that might threaten themselves or the team.
