"what?"

Upon hearing this, Susan turned around abruptly to look at the two people she had almost forgotten. She stood up abruptly and hurriedly asked:

"Do you have medicine? Where is it?"

"Before the disaster, there was a shipment of medicine that was to be sent to Washington. When the disaster first struck, we wanted to move the medicine to the second-floor warehouse, but we could only move a small portion. What you... what you see inside is... the last bit left..."

Susan recalled the IV drips she had seen on the "human pig" before; so that's how it came to be.

She didn't have time to listen to his nonsense and interrupted him, saying:

"Get to the point! Where's the medicine?"

"That...that batch of medicine is in the storage room on the first floor, but...but now the passageway to the first floor is blocked, and the first floor is full of monsters."

Byrd seemed to have made up his mind, and he looked at Susan and said:

"I...I can take you there..."

"What's your name?"

Susan suddenly asked.

"My name is Byrd, and this is Pete..."

Byrd quickly added that he would also introduce Pete, who was standing next to him.

Susan's large eyes scrutinized them, her gaze filled with suspicion.

She didn't believe that someone who had abandoned all humanity would suddenly have a change of heart and be willing to take risks for others. Was there some kind of conspiracy?

She didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at the unconscious Li Ailun, and a slender hand touched his handsome face.

Thinking back to the days they spent together, and how Li Ailun saved her from danger time and time again, especially after seeing the marks on his wrists that hadn't completely faded.

Her gaze gradually shifted from gentle and tender to resolute and determined.

She made up her mind that no matter if it was a conspiracy or not, and no matter how dangerous it was outside, she had to give it a try.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, she will find the life-saving medicine for Li Ailun.

After a long while, she turned to them and said:

"...Both of you...have to go."

She didn't trust the two of them, and even if she had to go out to find medicine, she had to take them with her.

It's impossible for Li Ailun, in his current state, to be in the same room with any of them.

"...good."

Baird seemed to have expected this, and he readily agreed.

Despite his fear, Pete nodded as well, for they had no other choice at the moment. But he couldn't help but say:

"Could you... give us something to eat? We're starving."

......

Susan then realized that she herself hadn't eaten for almost two days.

He had vomited once before, but because he was worried about Li Ailun's injury and couldn't take care of himself, he temporarily forgot about his hunger.

Now that they reminded me, I suddenly felt a surge of hunger in my stomach.

Susan walked straight to her travel bag, took out a few cans of food and water, and started eating them by herself.

Byrd and Pete watched each other eat, wondering if she would offer them food.

After a while, Susan finally finished eating. She picked up the pistol with only two bullets left and put it into the holster on her waist.

Then she came over with two cans of food and a bottle of water. She stood in front of the two of them, looking at them coldly, and said:

"I will untie you, but don't try anything funny, or I won't show any mercy."

If you lead me to the medicine, I can provide you with some food and let you leave.

Upon hearing this, Baird and Pete were somewhat surprised, then nodded in agreement, their eyes involuntarily drawn to the food and water in her hands.

Susan first placed the canned food and water on the ground in front of them, then walked over, pulled out a dagger, and cut the strips of cloth and ropes binding their hands and feet.

She cautiously took a few steps back, one hand resting on the pistol in its holster, watching them warily.

Ignoring their still slightly sore and numb hands and feet, Byrd and Pete pounced on the food on the ground.

The fight that Susan had anticipated did not occur.

They quickly finished a bottle of water, then each opened a can of food. Regardless of whether their hands were dirty, they started grabbing the food and wolfing it down.

Finally, they were able to eat normal food again, even though it was just ordinary canned fast food. Both of them ate it with tears in their eyes.

"Woooooooo..."

As Pete ate his canned food, tears streamed down his face, and he couldn't help but sob and cry again, clearly very emotional.

Baird reacted similarly; he quickly finished the canned food, not wasting a single drop of soup, and even licked the lid clean, which was still covered in soup.

Susan looked at the scene before her and sighed. Although she sympathized with their experience, she still couldn't accept their previous choice.

If she didn't need them to lead the way to the medicine to save Allen, she would have just left them to fend for themselves here.

After they finished eating, Susan directed the two of them to push the sofa where Li Ailun was lying into the dressing room.

Susan followed them inside, carrying her travel bag. She left a note for Li Ailun.

Then they closed the dressing room door tightly and pushed the sofa from the doorway to block the doorway.

Only then could she leave with peace of mind and go out to find medicine for Li Ailun.

In case anything happens while she's away, or if infected people break in when the door is opened, Li Ailun will be safe inside for the time being.

......

Inside the door to the B-section rest area, Byrd and Pete stood on either side of the door.

Susan stood a few meters away, gripping the Emei Dagger tightly in both hands, and nodded to them.

As soon as Pete removed the wooden board from the doorknob of the rest area, the door was pushed open.

"Ho...ho..."

A tall infected person walked in first, and pounced on Pete, who was standing by the door, pinning him to the ground.

"what......"

Pete let out a scream and struggled violently on the ground.

Behind the tall infected person, two more infected people followed closely in, one of whom, a female infected person, lunged at Susan.

“Pete…”

The incident happened so suddenly that Baird's scream had barely left his lips when he was grabbed by another infected person and pinned against another door.

Susan looked at the female infected woman rushing towards her. Without hesitation, she held the Emei Dagger in an attack stance and stepped forward to meet her.

Two figures passed each other, and the sharp Emei dagger easily pierced the female infected person's head, then was quickly pulled out, black and red foul-smelling blood splattered, and the female infected person's body immediately fell to the ground with a thud.

When Susan saw the infected figure staggering and swaying again in the half-open doorway, she rushed forward and closed the door, then put the wooden board back into the doorknob.

Thud... thud... thud...

The infected person in the outer passage kept banging on the door of the rest area.

Susan saw that Byrd was being pinned against another door by the infected creature, whose teeth were clicking and grinding, and were only centimeters away from his face, almost biting him.

They cannot die until a cure is found.

Thinking of this, Susan stepped forward and plunged the Emei thorn into the infected man's temple. The sharp thorn pierced through the skull, and thick, dark red blood dripped down the thorn. The infected man's body, now powerless, collapsed to the ground.

“Thank…thank you…”

Baird looked shaken and thanked Susan.
