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

Chapter 220 Medical Research and Development Center

And now, the Mutant Dog Pack that spread throughout Sanjiang City originated from the Old City District. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Surviving amidst zombies, Mutant Beasts, and those equally ferocious and malicious survivors, nearly every member of the hospital can be considered a child of fortune.

The only regret is that there aren't many true professionals among these people.

Doctors and nurses together number less than ten.

The rest are ordinary people.

Just as Zhang Ye was about to casually pick a topic to get closer to these professionals, Zhao Sen, who had just finished his meal and was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly sat up straight and said seriously:

"Alright, Director Zhang."

"You may give your orders."

"But I must make it clear beforehand, the work can be done, but it cannot take up more than fifty percent of my time."

No sooner had he spoken than the doctors and nurses beside him who were still swallowing their food almost spat it out.

The look in their eyes when they turned to Zhao Sen was filled with intense pleading.

Brother, you're under someone's roof now; you've got to bow your head when you need to.

Alright?

Do you think they've asked you back to be the head of the infectious diseases department, setting your terms?

Even Chu Yan, who was usually straightforward, couldn't bear to watch.

The girl hurriedly interjected:

"Hehe, Director Zhang, don't mind him!"

"Doctor Zhao has only recently returned from abroad and hasn't quite adjusted the way he speaks yet."

The others quickly nodded, with ingratiating smiles on their faces, echoing:

"That's right, Nurse Chu is correct!"

"Coming back from abroad, that's how people there speak!"

"Yeah, he used to get reprimanded by the deputy director several times for speaking too directly, but he never changed, hehe."

No sooner had this person finished speaking than Zhao Sen, looking confused, asked, "Deputy director? You mean that guy who cheated on his wife with the intern? When has he ever reprimanded me?"

"Cough cough cough!"

An awkward cough instantly filled the room.

However, Zhao Sen, as if oblivious to the other person's expression, continued with a frown, "That man is too worldly, and his character isn't good either; what right does he have to reprimand me?"

"Alright, alright."

"Let's leave idle talk there."

"I'm not interested in any deputy director of your hospital."

Zhang Ye, seeing the topic veering further off course, quickly interjected to cut off their chatter, then looked at the crowd with a very serious expression and said:

"Doctor Zhao is right."

"Now that everyone is well-fed and rested, let's talk about business, shall we?"

Zhao Sen was the first to nod his head.

Then came Chu Yan and the middle-aged doctor beside her.

The rest, with mixed expressions in their eyes, dared not say anything; after all, they were now truly on someone else's turf.

Quite a few armed guards and security with real guns and bullets were standing guard at the intersection.

To say that they were trapped, wings clipped, would not be an exaggeration.

Moreover, the conditions here far exceeded their expectations, as different as heaven and earth compared to the hospital; compared to the city ruins littered with corpses outside, this was like paradise.

Only a fool would want to leave here!

In fact, the doctors were more eager for a reason to stay and now the opportunity had arrived.

"Director Zhang, just give your orders,"

"We will do our utmost."

A male doctor who looked to be in his forties assured, thumping his chest.

The hair at his temples seemed to be starting to whiten.

His expression was extremely eager.

Zhang Ye glanced at Ai Bing beside him, and the woman's pleasing voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, "Firstly, would you like to join our company?"

Everyone's hearts jumped, and then they quickly nodded, expressing their willingness.

They had learned what the company was and what it represented on the way back the night before from the Hunters.

Similarly, they were well informed about the company's current strength and the employee benefits.

For this reason, hardly anyone hesitated.

All chose to join.

In fact, they had no other choice.

There was no going back to the hospital, and without joining the company, it would be difficult for their group of over thirty people to even find a safe sanctuary.

Not to mention the subsequent need for food and water, as well as other essential living supplies.

Therefore, joining had become the only option.

"Good."

"The second matter."

"The company is currently in dire need of people with medical expertise and is thinking of starting a training class. We'd like to ask for your assistance—"

Before Ai Bing could finish speaking, the disheveled male doctor opposite immediately replied:

"Don't worry, Minister Ai!"

"Leave this matter to us!"

Seeing this, the others voiced their agreement: "Right, right, right, this is nothing for us."

"Isn't it just teaching a few interns?"

"I have experience."

The man with graying hair still wore a face full of confidence.

However, Zhao Sen was just quietly listening, his gaze constantly measuring Zhang Ye and Ai Bing, with a hint of expectation flickering in his eyes.

He didn't believe that they would make the arduous trip to the hospital just to recruit a few emergency nurses.

The work just now didn't even require a doctor.

Wasn't it just first aid treatment?

Any nurse could rattle off a few types of wound treatments and emergency measures for different situations.

Not to mention someone with a medical doctorate like himself.

It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

A waste of resources.

But with those few words, the minds of the others, including the doctors, had become much more at ease.

As long as they could be sure they would be allowed to stay.

As for what exactly they would do.

Was that important?

Instead, the simpler the task that Zhang Ye laid out, the more relieved they felt, as it greatly reduced the chances of making mistakes.

None of them believed that a person commanding an armed militia of over a hundred members was easy to get along with.

A lack of caution could get them instantly eliminated.

And then, who would they appeal to?

But just then, Ai Bing cleared her throat and finally set her gaze on the expectant Zhao Sen.

"Doctor Zhao."

"We plan to establish a new department."

"A Medical Research Center mainly responsible for training medical personnel and researching zombies and mutant plants and animals."

"You'll be the director."

"Would that be okay?"

Zhao Sen was taken aback, then elation flashed in his eyes, but he responded with a still calm expression:

"Hmm."

"That would be fine."

The moment he agreed, a notification appeared in Zhang Ye's vision.

[Zhao Sen, occupation: Doctor.]

[Add to employee list?]

[Yes.]

In a moment, a new name appeared at the bottom of the list of human employees.

Zhao Sen.

After breakfast, everybody promptly followed Zhang Ye to the front of a five-story building with a sign that read [Renhe Clinic].

Inside was a clean, bright lobby and reception desk.

A few women were cleaning.

Zhang Ye looked around, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, then turned to Zhao Sen and introduced:

"From now on, this will be the office of the Medical Research Center."

"The first to the third floor were used by the clinic before."

"Three more floors are available above."

"Use them however you see fit."
