Apocalyptic Disaster: Stockpile Supplies for Free and Make a Comeback

Chapter 3 Hospital 2
Despite saying that, Zhang Ping's nervous expression betrayed her. Cai Zheng and Deng Miao were not foolish enough to believe her, so they cautiously approached Zhang Ping and worked together to subdue her.

"Deng Miao, what are you doing! I told you I wasn't bitten! This is just a scratch!" Zhang Ping's excited voice caused the zombies outside the door to frantically bang on the door.

“It doesn’t look like she was injured by a zombie, but she has a fever.” Deng Miao withdrew her hand and glanced at Cai Zheng.

"I just have a bit of a cold, it's been going on for several days, it would have gotten better sooner." Zhang Ping looked at the two people preparing to tie her up, feeling both anxious and afraid.
"Are you all crazy? This place is teeming with zombies! How could you do this to me! Let me go! Let me go!"

It's very quiet on the second floor.

Only the faint crackling of electricity from the elevator door, which had been forcibly opened a crack, emitted a strong stench of decay.

Fingers with blackened nails protrude from within, scratching in the air, occasionally accompanied by a hoarse roar.

Song Jinhe bypassed the elevator and went to the pharmacy.

The lack of lighting made the place look particularly eerie. Scattered papers, blood, and bits of flesh were everywhere on the ground, and greenbottle flies buzzed incessantly, flapping their wings.

Song Jinhe first found the aerosol spray for treating sprains and bruises on the medicine cabinet and sprayed it on her ankle a few times to relieve the pain.

She used to take a lot of medicine and knew a bit about medicines for common minor illnesses.

I grabbed extra antibiotics, heatstroke medication, cold medicine, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs, and other commonly needed medications. As for unfamiliar medications, I didn't have time to read the instructions, so I just grabbed some based on my gut feeling.

Space is limited, so we need to leave room for other things; medicine can't be eaten as food.

Pharmacies also have special medicines for certain diseases that ordinary people can't use. Why buy them all and leave them to gather dust in your storage space, or throw them away later? It's really unnecessary to make people who really need them risk their lives to come to the hospital only to find that they can't find anything.

Song Jinhe had seen too many people in the hospital who needed special medicine to save their lives, and she knew that feeling.

The same goes for the Chinese medicine pharmacy. She took more of the hemostatic and anti-inflammatory herbs she recognized, and less of the others. There are many kinds of Chinese medicines. She didn't take them from the medicine cabinet, but directly looked for whole bags, as well as a mortar and pestle, and weighed out two portions.

I also ate some goji berries and red dates.

It took Song Jinhe half a day to stock up on supplies at the pharmacy. Her destination was the first floor, but she was stunned as soon as she stepped into the fire escape staircase.

One, two, three, four. Five and a half zombies were watching her in the stairwell.

"Excuse me for interrupting you."

Song Jinhe ran ahead, with zombies chasing behind, looking as excited as if she were jumping for joy as the cafeteria bell rang for lunch.

The first floor is the payment hall, and there is a staircase with a handrail leading down. There are zombies blocking the glass door in front, and there is a small door on the side.

That's a room used for physical examinations; it's only used during group physical examinations.

She used her movement skills to circle around halfway and successfully turned into the left passage. After running a few dozen meters forward, her expression suddenly changed drastically.

Someone closed the door!

This door was definitely not closed before! Who did this?!
Song Jinhe's heart pounded as she ran toward the closed iron gate at the end of the road, trying to open the rooms on both sides.

Meanwhile, the survivors inside the room also heard the commotion outside.

"They seem to be chasing something," said Cheng Yan, an intern who was listening intently through the door.

The girl, trembling against the wall, whispered, "Are there still people alive in the hospital? Should we open the door?"

Upon hearing this, the man wearing a thick gold chain and a lettered T-shirt exploded.

"Why are you opening the door! Do you want to die? What if you bring zombies here? We'll all die then!" Cheng Yan frowned. "The people outside are probably running this way to get out through the side door. Don't forget, we're the ones who closed the door."

"That won't do! Such a big hospital had to come here; they can only blame their own bad luck!" the man said rudely. "The people outside might have already been bitten; why risk letting zombies in!"

The middle-aged man, who had remained silent until now, hesitated for a moment. "Perhaps Shen Wu is right."

The middle-aged woman standing at the very back with her son also objected to opening the door.

"What if the person outside wasn't bitten? I was the one who locked the iron gate with the key. Now, ignoring it is no different from me killing him."

As Cheng Yan was about to open the door, Shen Wu, the man in the T-shirt, quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "You don't want to kill the people outside, but you want to kill us?"

Neither of them would give in, and in the ensuing argument, two chairs were knocked over.

"We helped you back then, otherwise you'd be dead now!"

Cheng Yan restrained Shen Wu, whose face had turned a deep purplish-red, and gave Zhang Yi a look, signaling her to open the door. "If it were you, or me outside, I would also hope someone would open the door!"

Outside, neither of the doors could be opened, and there were only ten steps left to the end. Song Jinhe had thrown out all the debris on the road to block the zombies.

She gripped the paper cutter's scissors tightly, prepared to fight the zombies head-on if she couldn't open the door. Killing one zombie and hiding under its corpse would give her a chance to survive.

Just then, a crashing sound came from inside the door on the right, and something fell to the ground.

There is a living person in this room; it's the person who locked the door!

Song Jinhe's gaze darkened, and she tightened her grip on the scissors.

The door opened, and the girl standing inside gestured for her to come in quickly.

Song Jinhe casually placed her right hand behind her back, stepped into the room, and the zombie rushed to the door, making eerie noises and banging on it.

The room was full of survivors, and she remembered the names of two of them.

Upon seeing the white bandage wrapped around Song Jinhe's arm, Shen Wu took two steps back as if he had seen a plague, and began to curse in a low voice.
"I told you so! But you wouldn't listen! Now there's a bunch of zombies blocking the way outside, and there's a zombie reserve inside. What are we going to do?"

Shen Wu really wanted to smash the head of the female zombie who had just entered with a stick, but he didn't dare. He had witnessed the terror of zombies before.

"If we don't open the door, won't there be zombies blocking the way outside?" Cheng Yan looked at Song Jinhe. "Are you injured?"

Song Jinhe shook her head, took the initiative to remove the strip of cloth from her arm, and rolled up her sleeves to let them confirm.

"How do I know you have no other injuries?" Shen Wu shouted, his unbridled gaze falling on Song Jinhe.

It's not a female zombie, so what's there to be afraid of?

“If you’re worried, you can have this girl come and see for yourself,” Song Jinhe said softly, her eyes cold.

She can distinguish between deliberately making things difficult and genuine concern.

No one spoke up for Shen Wu, and the matter passed. Once the zombies outside had calmed down a bit, Song Jinhe asked, "Did you lock the door?"

When 'she' was taken away by that survival team, there were no other living people in the hospital; those people had either run away or died.

"I locked it," Cheng Yan explained. "To prevent zombies from getting in, we didn't expect there to be any living people in the hospital. How did you end up here all by yourself?"
