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

Chapter 207 Corridor Battle

Thud thud thud.

Rapid footsteps echoed down the hallway.

A panic-stricken nurse sprayed something on herself as she ran, immediately making for the nearest office to her.

But in her panic, she couldn't fit the key into the door lock.

The woman's palms began to sweat in desperation.

"Damn lock!"

"Always acting up at the worst possible time!"

She could hear the noise coming from the staircase behind her; the intruders who had broken into the place were about to come upstairs, and she had to act quickly!

Stay calm, stay calm!

Doctor Zhao had said the more frantic the situation, the calmer you must be!

The key grew slicker, and her clammy hands made it extremely difficult to turn!

Click—

"It's open, it's open!"

The woman cried out excitedly.

It was as if she had no idea what was behind the door, her face not showing the slightest fear, but rather a hint of smugness.

"Ugh ahhhhhh..."

"Grr..."

As soon as the door cracked open, devilish whispers seeped out from within.

A bloodstained arm suddenly stretched out, clamped tightly onto the doorknob outside, and pulled the whole door open in an instant.

The woman in the white nurse's uniform stepped back hurriedly.

"You can't see me, you can't see me..."

"Amitabha, may God protect me..."

Even though the nurse had experienced such incidents more than once, she couldn't control the pounding of her heart, her feet instinctively shuffling backwards.

Hearing the sounds getting closer from the staircase, a glint of resentment flashed in her eyes as she muttered:

"These damned robbers still want to steal our supplies?"

"Eat them all, eat them all!"

"Don't leave a single one!"

Ding Zhixiong, who had just come out of the staircase, immediately saw the nurse standing in front of the room and the zombies emerging from it.

This is bad, how did the zombies from the room get out?

Thinking the woman had accidentally run into a horde of zombies coming out of the room, he instinctively shouted, "What are you spacing out for? Run!" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"Run this way!"

The soldiers following him naturally saw this scene as well. Two men carrying explosive-proof shields immediately stepped forward to form a temporary defense line, while others armed with knives took cover behind them, waiting for the horde to approach.

This was the result of experience gained from fighting zombies over a long period.

Protecting oneself was the top priority.

After all, zombies were different from human enemies; they were covered in viruses, and any slight carelessness could cause infection and panic. Therefore, defensive tactics were often employed when engaging large groups of zombies at close range.

But something strange happened that baffled everyone.

The horde of zombies actually bypassed the woman and charged straight at them, who had just reached the second floor. In a moment, the entire corridor was filled with staggering figures.

"Bang!"

A zombie slammed directly into the shield.

The moment it fell to the ground, a knife blade stabbed from behind and plunged into its eye socket, a blackish-red blood spraying out as the blade was pulled free.

The man holding the shield had just steadied himself when four or five tattered figures lunged at him.

The muffled sound of impact and the noise of blades piercing flesh were incessant.

In the chaos, the woman was nowhere to be found.

When the combat team finally dealt with these dozen or so zombies, they realized the doors to several other rooms on the opposite side of the hallway had been opened, without anyone noticing when!

They didn't even have time to catch their breath before they were thrown back into the battle, resisting the zombie horde's charge.

Meanwhile, Ding Zhixiong saw the figure of that woman again.

She was still standing at the door like an idiot.

But it was a new room.

As soon as the woman left, the door to the originally sealed room quietly opened, and countless zombies began to rush out, clawing at each other to get through.

"Your grandmother's..."

"Turns out they're all in this together..."

Taken aback, Ding Zhixiong immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat into the corridor behind them, while also giving the command to fire at will.

The narrow terrain forced all the zombies to charge only from the front.

The bullets that whizzed out were like a sudden downpour, enveloping the group of dozens of zombies, tearing through their flesh instantly as red and white fluids splattered everywhere.

No one even thought about whether the gunfire would attract the attention of other enemies upstairs.

All their focus could only be on the immediate danger before them.

The running zombies fell like wheat.

The blood on the ground had long since turned into streams, trickling down slowly between the cracks of the floor tiles, a misstep threatening to send one sliding to the ground.

A few of the shield bearers at the front were nearly at their limit.

Half of their bodies seemed to be going numb.

Even amidst the crossfire, the zombie horde still demonstrated an incredibly powerful impact, continuously slamming against the explosive-proof shields before them.

Fortunately, the number of these zombies was ultimately less than a hundred.

In the face of the powerful firepower of modern rifles, this numerical difference was almost negligible.

From the moment Ding Zhixiong gave the order to fire to the last person releasing the trigger, it all took less than five minutes, and the floor in front of the corridor was already piled with hideously contorted corpses.

The scent of disinfectant that used to permeate the air suddenly became a lot fainter.

Instead, the thick smell of blood made people feel a bit nauseous.

A shield bearer flexed his arm and finally exhaled in relief upon seeing the mountainous pile of bodies in front, then turned his head to Ding Zhixiong to warn him:

"Captain, that nurse ran away."

"Continue the chase?"

Chase?

Ding Zhixiong hesitated slightly.

He had seen clearly what that woman had done just now.

He had thought she had stumbled upon the scene by accident, but now it seemed that these zombies were deliberately released by the enemy to obstruct them.

But why would the zombies ignore the woman right in front of them and head straight for them?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the corridor opposite them again.

That woman had run off that way.

She must have gone upstairs.

This is bad, there might be zombies upstairs as well!

The soldiers had rested for less than two minutes when Ding Zhixiong's shout once again put them on alert, and suddenly a low sobbing sound echoed from the nearby staircase.

A corpse tumbled down the stairs.

The moment the body hit the ground, it immediately rose and charged towards them, claws bared and teeth gnashing.

Then came the second, the third, more and more figures took over the stairwell.

The crowd of zombies coming down from the third floor quickly filled the corridor.

The second fight began.

At that moment, in an office on the fourth floor, a young doctor with thick hair was intently performing surgery on a patient in bed, expertly removing all the internal organs from his abdomen.

"It's bad, Doctor Zhao!"

"Outside! There are more people coming!"
