Chapter 15

Mu Meiqing told Chen Fei about her escape plan, and Chen Fei said he would come to pick her up with Nangong Jin within seven days. After careful consideration, Mu Meiqing decided to trust Chen Fei. Reflecting on Chen Fei's unusual behavior in the past few days, she believed that Chen Fei must have known something in advance. Therefore, if Chen Fei decided to come and pick her up, he would certainly make some preparations.

Nurse Xiao Mei, who had been hiding in the corner under the windowsill, after a painful internal struggle, suddenly stood up and quickly walked to the door, placing her hand on the doorknob.

"Xiao Mei! What are you going to do?" Mu Meiqing grabbed Xiao Mei's hand and asked in a low voice.

"Doctor Mu, I'm really hungry! I... I can't take it anymore! Yesterday, I used WeChat to search for nearby people and found that there are survivors in the canteen on the basement level. There are about seven or eight people there with a lot of food. I think we should wait for rescue in the canteen!"

Xiao Mei's emotions were on the verge of collapse, and she didn't even try to lower her voice.

"Although there is food in the canteen, do you think we can reach it unscathed? I have carefully observed these infected people, and anyone who is bitten or scratched by them becomes like them. Even if we manage to escape to the canteen, we won't know if rescue comes in the basement, and we might miss the opportunity for rescue!"

Mu Meiqing calmly analyzed the situation while trying to calm Xiao Mei's emotions.

"But Doctor Mu, I'm hungry! I'm really, really hungry! I couldn't sleep all night because of hunger. If rescue doesn't come, I don't know, but I will definitely starve to death. And there are so many people downstairs. If we all gather together, we might come up with a way to leave. Our clinic is very close to the elevator. Doctor Wang on the seventh floor successfully escaped to the canteen via the elevator yesterday. He told me that the No. 3 elevator can be used and there are no infected people inside. I still have some strength and can take a chance. If I wait two more days, I will have no strength left and will only be able to wait here to die. Doctor Mu, let's go together!"

Xiao Mei's attitude was surprisingly firm, and even Mu Meiqing was somewhat swayed by her words. If not for her promise to Chen Fei to wait for him, she might have followed Xiao Mei's suggestion.

Click...

Just as Mu Meiqing was still hesitating, Xiao Mei had already opened the door a crack and stuck her head out. The corridor was filled with debris and bloodstains, but no infected people were in sight.

Xiao Mei's face lit up, and she broke free from Mu Meiqing's hand, rushing out of the clinic towards the elevator. Mu Meiqing resisted the urge to follow her. She had promised Chen Fei and couldn't break her word!

The elevator was at the corner of the corridor. About ten seconds after Xiao Mei entered, Mu Meiqing heard the elevator door open. As the elevator opened, the stairwell at the end of the corridor echoed with dense footsteps. Through the door crack, Mu Meiqing saw at least thirty zombies rushing towards the elevator, but she didn't hear Xiao Mei's screams, indicating that Xiao Mei had successfully entered the elevator and headed to the basement canteen.

Mu Meiqing carefully locked the door and sat down in a chair with a complex expression. Perhaps she had just missed an opportunity...

But thinking of Chen Fei's repeated instructions, Mu Meiqing's eyes became firm again. She had to trust Chen Fei!

She still had three cookies and a bag of chips, and although she was hungry, the water from the water dispenser was enough to last her for a while. Chen Fei had promised to come and pick her up within seven days, so she only needed to endure for three more days. If Chen Fei didn't come by then, she would try to go to the basement canteen. Although Xiao Mei's success was largely due to luck, it at least proved that there was a chance she could succeed.

......

After returning from the 12th floor, Chen Fei ate something and went out with Nangong Wan again to continue clearing the zombies on other floors. Since he needed to rescue Mu Meiqing from the hospital, Chen Fei had to speed up and complete the task of killing 50 zombies to activate the End-World Dominator System.

Chen Fei didn't directly use the universal card to take the elevator to other floors, as that would involve double risks: not only would he have to be careful of zombies in the corridor, but he also had to prevent the fire doors from being left open, which could lead to being surrounded by zombies.

The safest way was to use the stairs. As long as the fire doors were closed first and the zombies on the floor were cleared, the floor would be basically safe. Then, he could use the elevator to make noise on a safe floor to attract and disperse the gathered zombies, and take the opportunity to go to other floors via the stairs.

This method was more cumbersome but had the highest safety factor. In the afternoon, Chen Fei and Nangong Jin cleared the zombies from the 7th floor to the 15th floor. Chen Fei transferred all the living supplies from these floors to apartment 1101, which he used as a temporary warehouse. During this time, Chen Fei also delivered a lot of food and two gas cylinders to Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Li in apartment 1201. Once the power was cut off, cooking would rely on gas, and the elderly couple felt that the gas pipeline was unsafe, so they used gas cylinders. Chen Fei paid special attention to this and collected all the gas cylinders he found.

On the 8th floor, there were survivors in apartments 801 and 802, but when they learned that Chen Fei was not part of the rescue team, their faces were filled with suspicion, as if Chen Fei would snatch their supplies at any moment. Chen Fei ignored them and didn't even warn them not to go out randomly. In these times, no one owed anyone anything, and there was no need for so many well-intentioned warnings.

In apartment 1402, there was also a surviving couple in their thirties. The woman looked sharp and unkind, while the man looked lecherous. They seemed to match each other.

After Chen Fei and Nangong Jin cleared the zombies in the elevator corridor and apartment 1401, they habitually searched for supplies, mainly food and water.

Chen Fei's supply reserves were already terrifying. The living room of apartment 1101, which he used as a temporary warehouse, was piled high with supplies, so he was almost numb to finding more food and didn't show much excitement.

However, in apartment 1401, Chen Fei had an unexpected find. The owner of the apartment was clearly a lover of outdoor activities, with a lot of outdoor equipment, such as climbing ropes, ice axes, two-person tents, sleeping bags, and an outdoor grill and a solar cooker, which Chen Fei particularly liked. These two items naturally became his.

Just as Chen Fei and Nangong Jin were about to move these items to the 11th floor, the couple from apartment 1402 appeared!

The sharp and unkind woman claimed that this was her friend's home, so everything in it should belong to her. She even threatened Chen Fei with charges of burglary and murder. The lecherous man brandished a kitchen knife and recorded the scene with his phone as evidence.

At that moment, Chen Fei thought of a famous saying: "I've seen shameless people, but never such shameless people as you!"

Dealing with such people, Chen Fei's method was simple and brutal. He pointed the crossbow at the woman's forehead, and Nangong Jin placed the samurai sword at the man's neck. With their dead fish-like eyes, Chen Fei took all the supplies from apartment 1401, even a half-empty bottle of oil.

Thinking of the woman's furious and almost lifeless expression, Chen Fei felt a sense of satisfaction. Evil people should be dealt with by evil people!
