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

Chapter 211 First Meeting

"It's as if she can't see her at all!"

"They're coming straight for us!"

"Damn it."

Ding Zhixiong grumbled about that woman's cruel heart, but when Zhang Ye heard these words, his heart sank, and he thought, this is bad.

Could it be that he had actually encountered a peer?

Someone who can also control zombies?

A golden finger?

Logically speaking, it's not likely.

After all, it wouldn't make sense for two protagonists to appear in the same book. Otherwise, how could he continue to pretend?

But then he remembered that zombies had also sprung up.

What isn't possible?

With this thought, Zhang Ye's eyes turned fierce, and he was ready to kill.

"Go!"

"Get up there!"

"We must find that person!"

His men understood the gravity of the situation; after all, how the company had developed to this point might be unclear to the survivors below, but those who were fed by the company knew very well.

It all depended on the zombies laboring day and night in that factory in District Four, which was the foundation of their worry-free life.

And the foundation of it all was Zhang Ye.

But now there might be a second one?

How could that be allowed?

The group quickly flooded up the stairs and, after dealing with a few zombies still wandering the hallways, finally made it to the third floor.

This was where Ding Zhixiong had been previously forced to retreat by a horde of zombies.

"Everyone be careful!"

"Follow my command, Team One in front, Team Two behind, no matter what happens you must protect the boss at the first moment, got it?"

Ding Zhixiong and Liu Bing shared the same thought.

Both wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity to meet Zhang Ye to show off in front of him, thus paving the way for their future positions in the company.

The team members were also very excited, after all, their top leader was just behind them.

If they performed well, they might be directly promoted to squad leader.

Only Liu Bing was not too happy.

After his team had dealt with the zombies in the lobby, they were once again sent by Xu Lin to search other areas of the hospital and to keep watch outside.

In other words, whatever happened inside the inpatient building was no longer his concern.

He could only watch from the entrance as the combat team escorted Zhang Ye like protecting a panda, then quickly disappeared up the stairs.

"Fuck!"

"Lucky bastards!"

The disgruntled Liu Bing spat, and after leaving a few people to watch the main entrance, decisively led the remaining men to inspect other areas of the hospital.

After all, there were five or six sizable buildings, not just the outpatient and inpatient department buildings.

Finding a storage for medical equipment and drugs would also count as a merit.

It's free, why not take it?

A body on the stairs was kicked aside.

The hole in its head looked like an extra eye, staring straight at the people.

The inpatient building where they were located was much larger than the outpatient department on the other side, with twelve floors in total, each floor managed by different departments.

Upon coming up from the stairs to the third floor, the first thing they saw was a series of open room doors.

Bloodstains crisscrossed the floor, and the messy footprints were clearly visible.

Clearly, zombies had been kept here before.

After a moment of tension passed, Ding Zhixiong and his soldiers slowly lowered their guns and took a deep breath.

If there were no surprises, the zombies from this floor were probably already dead in the lobby on the first floor.

After a quick search, no survivors were found.

So they continued upward.

Just as they emerged from the staircase, a person was standing in front of the triage desk opposite the exit, the white uniform starkly out of place against the surrounding environment.

The woman's expression was clearly tense, her eyes filled with fear and suspicion.

As soon as Ding Zhixiong saw her, he blurted out,

"Damn it!"

"Protect Director Zhang!"

"It was her who released those zombies from the room earlier!"

The others had also seen this woman before, and at the captain's words, they suddenly understood, the few who had just stepped out of the stairwell immediately withdrew their legs.

For a moment, everyone was anxiously checking their surroundings, afraid that a few more zombies might jump out from any room.

But after looking for a while, they found nothing amiss.

The doors to the rooms were all closed.

The woman just stood there, but now her gaze took on a few more layers of meaning, seemingly mocking the men's cowardice and nervousness.

This caused Ding Zhixiong's face to struggle with embarrassment.

Was this little girl deliberately toying with him?

Just watch how I—

"You really aren't bandits?"

Her crisp voice cooled the men's irritation considerably, she sounded probably only eighteen or nineteen, but her words reignited Ding Zhixiong's anger.

"Bandits?"

"Through which eye do you see us looking like bandits?"

"What about you, were you the one who released those zombies earlier?"

The cumulative effect of the events that had transpired made his tone exceedingly rough and direct, and the young nurse opposite him seemed to take an instant disliking to Ding Zhixiong, retorting,

"What if I was?"

"Hey you little—"

Ding Zhixiong could hardly control his hands at that moment, ready to charge forward and teach the girl a lesson, to show her just how dangerous the outside world had become.

But before he could move, his shoulder was grabbed by a hand.

Turning his head, he found it was Zhang Ye.

"Director Zhang—"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhang Ye scrutinizing the woman in front of him with a discerning gaze, occasionally showing a defensive expression.

The insolent nurse, upon seeing Zhang Ye protected in the middle by the crowd, flashed a look of realization in her eyes, clearly identifying who was in charge among these men.

"Doctor Zhao is waiting for you upstairs."

Before Zhang Ye had time to consider asking her whether she also had the ability to control zombies, the woman had already spoken her piece and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Stop, who gave you permission to leave!"

Several soldiers immediately moved as if to pursue her, but held back out of consideration for Zhang Ye beside them, none daring to take that step.

The boss had yet to speak; why should they, as subordinates, be anxious?

It could be a case of misguided flattery.

That would be awkward.

Zhang Ye looked somewhat surprised.

After a brief hesitation, he directly ordered the combat team to follow her, and secretly instructed everyone to remain vigilant to prevent any mishap.

The group followed the young nurse upstairs and quickly arrived at the fifth floor.

As soon as they came out of the stairwell, they saw about a dozen people standing in front.

All of them wore white uniforms.

Zhang Ye's gaze swept over them, quickly focusing on the thin man in the midst of the group, with the nurse who spoke earlier standing at his side.

Unlike the others, the man didn't show any fear upon seeing the fully armed strangers.

Instead, he seemed curious and interested.

"Did you make your own guns?"

"It seems like you are indeed not from the Shen Zhou military."
