The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 31 Confession

Dr. Edwin Jenner of the US Centers for Disease Control received a message.

The content comes from a French laboratory.

We used cardiac plaques as a host medium for steroid therapy to prime the circulatory system.

The hope is to short-circuit the brain, perhaps triggering neurological confusion and thereby preventing resurrection.

Unexpectedly, this directly led to the emergence of a new variant of the wildfire virus.

The resurrection time of the infected after death has been reduced to a few seconds.

The resurrected zombies also have more strength, agility and wisdom! 】

On the other side, Harrison Memorial Hospital.

The week flew by.

Two crosses were also erected on the hospital grounds.

This was made by Jimmy to help Macunes.

Nothing else happened during this week.

It was nothing more than the repetitive routine of cleaning corpses, collecting water, smoking meat, caring for patients, cooking food, and the part that outsiders disliked the most, playing music...

Hannah prepared breakfast for everyone early.

Just after everyone finished breakfast, the hospital suffered a power outage.

What is coming will come sooner or later, and the water and electricity supply will eventually be cut off.

However, during these few days, everyone consumed a large amount of food that was not easy to store.

Even if there is a power outage, it doesn't matter if you don't use the refrigerator.

Because all that's left is food that can be stored.

Zhou Nan also marinated the last piece of lamb leg.

Zhou Nan has been busy marinating and grilling meat these days, and he feels like he is almost turning into bacon.

Under Marcune's care, Max also regained some energy.

Although it still disliked Marcunes, it finally stopped baring its teeth at him.

This is all thanks to its little owner Jimmy.

After no longer being hostile to Markunes, Markunes' relationship with the team became much more harmonious.

My relationship with Max has also improved a lot.

Seeing that the hospital had a power outage, Marcus rushed to Rick's ward and removed all the auxiliary equipment and ventilators.

Marcus was about to manually administer oxygen when he was pleasantly surprised.

Rick can now breathe independently and steadily!

This also means that Rick's injury is improving.

Zhou Nan went to turn on the generator.

Although it is a bit noisy, it only needs to be turned on for a short while every day to meet the electricity needs of the day.

After doing this, Zhou Nan had nothing to do.

He felt relaxed for once.

Zhou Nan was a little overwhelmed by the smoked meat these days.

Zhou Nan pushed a bed from the hospital into the yard, then lay on it, quietly enjoying the sunshine.

Zhou Nan decided to give himself a day off today and skip his daily exercise.

Seeing that Zhou Nan was free, Jimmy and Billy also came over.

The adults are busy working all day, and there are no toys here.

They could only learn basic medical knowledge from Dr. Macunes.

Out of guilt for little Jimmy, Macunes taught them extra seriously.

But Billy thought it was boring as hell.

"Brother Zhou Nan, you finally took a break. We were almost bored to death!"

"I'm almost suffocated staying in the hospital every day!" Billy complained to Zhou Nan.

When Zhou Nan saw Jimmy Billy coming, he also gestured for them to sit on the bed.

"You two have a lot going on. If you two go to Manhattan, you won't be bored anymore!"

This also piqued the curiosity of the two children: "Isn't Manhattan boring?"

Zhou Nan said: "Manhattan is so interesting."

"The soldiers there destroyed the island's bridges and tunnels to curb the outbreak."

Jimmy asked curiously, "So, if that's the case, there aren't many deaths there?"

"It's already fallen, and there are millions of zombies wandering the streets!"

"Even if you throw an elephant down from a building, it will be eaten clean by zombies in less than a minute!"

"Well, do you want to go for a walk?"

Jimmy and Billy grinned as they heard this.

In their eyes, the hundreds of zombies outside the hospital were quite scary.

They don't know what one million means, but that doesn't stop them from being afraid.

"Manhattan is so dangerous, how are people supposed to survive there?"

"What do they eat and drink?"

Zhou Nan heard Jimmy asking him a question, and then pointed upwards, which was the top floor of the hospital.

The children also looked in the direction Zhou Nan was looking, and Zhou Nan also explained.

"The top is the safest place, and that's what the survivors in Manhattan thought."

“They live above the 10th floor of several buildings, and they move between high-rise buildings.”

“And on their rooftops, they manage self-sustaining hydroponic farms to survive.”

Jimmy showed an interested look: "Cool, will we have a rooftop farm in the future?"

Zhou Nan nodded: "We will have it in the future."

"That way it's not only safe and has good lighting, but it also doesn't take up much land. It's really killing two birds with one stone."

"Furthermore, we will have iron walls tens of meters high and a turbulent moat..."

In the end, the children were sent away by Zhou Nan.

Because Zhou Nan discovered that Marcus was also listening to Zhou Nan's "speech".

"Is there anything wrong, Dr. Marcunes?" Zhou Nan asked puzzledly.

"I heard what you said just now. It's a good idea!" Marcus smiled awkwardly.

Marcus's expression was tense. She took a breath and then spoke.

"Zhou Nan, I have to confess something to you!"

She was forgiven by Jimmy and didn't want to deceive these kind people.

Now, she finally plucked up the courage and decided to confess to Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan knew what Mackens wanted to say and sat up straight.

This matter concerns whether Mackens can truly join their group.

"I've mentioned this before, my colleague Kate, you should still remember her."

"But I didn't tell you what happened that day."

Marcus' eyes were a little dazed, as if he was recalling what happened in the hospital that day.

"At that time, seven of my patients went berserk."

"They were forcing women outside, so Kate and I hid in a cupboard in the downstairs storeroom."

"Later, my two assistants were brutally tortured and killed by them."

"So I brought Kate a vial of lethal drug to kill herself and save her from torture."

"And I also prepared a portion of this medicine for myself."

"Later, the two of us were exposed."

"The men thought I was too old and they had no interest in me."

"So they turned around and tortured Kate, and Kate tried to commit suicide to escape their abuse."

"Her arm was cut off and she was bleeding and screaming."

"The men asked me to stabilize Kate."

"I didn't agree, so they beat me up."

"I only had to inject the drug into her system and Kate would lose consciousness within two seconds and die within about half a minute."

"But I didn't do that."

"I was scared, I was really scared, and I completely gave in."

"I prolonged her life so that Kate suffered more before she died!"

"After that, I wanted to ease people's fears, I wanted to help them find freedom from this world."

“I started euthanizing people with their consent.”

“And store them in the lobby on the first floor.”

"Before I met you, I thought I was doing the right thing."

"I'm paranoid and crazy. I've euthanized many people. I'm a murderous lunatic!"

"It was only after I met you that I realized how wrong it was for me to take their lives."

"I am guilty. I have done too many terrible things, so I must confess to you."

"Even if you kick me out of Harrison Memorial Hospital, I won't complain."

"Because I should have gone to hell a long time ago."

Marcus lowered her head, waiting for Zhou Nan's "judgment" of her.
