Chapter 52: Exploring Alone Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Fang Heng had already upgraded the apocalypse merchant to an extremely high level. Therefore, he had the highest discount. He only needed 31 survival points to buy a shotgun bullet. “Quick!” The crowd filed in climbed through the window and sneaked into the hospital. As soon as they stepped into the hospital, Fang Heng immediately turned on his portable flashlight and quickly illuminated every corner of the room. This was a normal examination room. Kun Ba and Kun Ta quickly cleaned up the remaining zombies in the room, then opened the door and entered the corridor outside the examination room to clean up the zombies in the corridor. Hao Zhou took out a wooden plank, re-sealed and reinforced the window entrance that was destroyed when the team had broken in. After a moment, Kun Ba and Kun Ta cleaned up the corridor outside the room and returned. “We have confirmed that it’s safe.” Sister Li immediately deactivated the barrier. She took out a can of Red Bull drink from her backpack to speed up the recovery of her mental strength and gulped it down. “The consumption of mental strength is less than expected. It will take about one and a half hours to fully recover mental strength.” Hao Zhou nodded. “Okay, everyone, let’s take a rest first.” They successfully entered the Community Hospital. The first phase of the mission had been completed. Overall, they managed to enter the hospital unscathed. Hao Zhou locked the door of the examination room and raised his hand to light a bonfire. Everyone sat around the bonfire and started eating to replenish the energy that was depleted earlier on. Under such circumstances, Fang Heng still tried to be steady. He didn’t choose to show off his speciality which was barbecue. After all, there was a chance that zombies could smell the scent and track them. There was no need to invite trouble to himself. He still had the half-pack of Oreo cookies left from before. Along with chocolate milk. Fang Heng ate while thinking about what to do next. What the team needed to do next was to find the backup generator set on the first floor and blow it up. Of course, he had more important things to do. Fang Heng took another look at the mission description. Mission name: Find the T-virus serum. Mission description: Find the T-virus serum and hand it over to apocalypse merchant Vettel (you can find the T-virus serum in the director’s office on the third floor of the Community Hospital in Hope Town, or you can find the T-virus serum in other ways). Hint: As time passes, the antivirus serum in Hope Town may be taken away or destroyed by the survivors in advance. The T-virus serum was hidden on the third floor. He had to go to the third floor to take a look first. Considering that blowing up the generator set would cause noise and attract zombies, Hao Zhou would probably choose to blow up the generator set after Sister Li had fully recovered. Therefore, he still had one and a half hours of free time. While Fang Heng was thinking, he heard Hao Zhou clap his hands. “The plan is like this. First, we find the location of the generator set, occupy the room where the generator set is located and ensure the safety of the generator room and the surrounding environment.” “In one and a half hours, we will set up the explosives and retreat quickly.” Hao Zhou gave a rough outline for the execution of the operation. No one had any objections to it. Only Fang Heng had another motive. He still wanted to go to the third floor to complete the mission. “Don’t you think this mission is a little strange?” When they heard this, they all looked up at Fang Heng at the same time. “Especially Old Black. He’s also very strange.” As Fang Heng spoke, he stood up and walked to the entrance of the room. He tried to press the light switch in the room. “The backup power supply here is also not effective. Why do we need to waste so much effort to blow up the generator set?” Hao Zhou and the others fell silent for a moment. They also had doubts about this mission. But this was the mission provided by the employer. They didn’t ask the employer the reason for the mission. They only cared about what they could get after the mission is completed. This was the professional ethics of a mercenary. Hao Zhou pondered for a moment and said, “It’s indeed a little strange, but it has nothing to do with us. We just need to complete the mission.” “You’re right, but I have a bad feeling about it.” Fang Heng shrugged and said, “I’ll go around again later to clear out some possible dangers. You guys follow the plan. I’ll go back to the generator room to look for you all once I am done.” Hao Zhou frowned. It was a big taboo to split up. But on second thought, the risk that Fang Heng mentioned did exist. He didn’t trust this mission and vaguely felt that it was a little strange. The most important thing was… Fang Heng had shown his strength and proved himself during this mission. He already had a say in the team. Moreover, with Fang Heng’s strength, even if he encountered mutated zombies, he could still protect himself. “I don’t support your actions, but if you insist, I won’t stop you.” After thinking for a while, Hao Zhou agreed to Fang Heng’s solo operation. “Be careful. If you still don’t come back in an hour and a half, we’ll choose to minimise the risk and abandon you for the sake of the mission. We won’t take the risk to look for you.” “Hahaha.” Fang Heng laughed and patted Hao Zhou’s shoulder. “Although it sounds cold, I understand. I’ll rush back.” “Okay, be careful.” Hao Zhou nodded. “Add me as a friend. If you encounter any problems, contact me through the emergency communication channel of the survival radio.” “Okay.” Fang Heng quickly added Hao Zhou as a friend and left the examination room. The Community Hospital was very big. Fang Heng pulled out his machete and carefully searched the stairway leading to the second floor. He looked at the resurrection time of the zombie clones. It was really unfortunate. There was only one hour and 40 minutes left. At that time, his zombie clones would automatically resurrect in the surroundings. He couldn’t stop it! If everything went smoothly, he would be running away from Hope Town at that time. “It would be great if the resurrection time of the zombie clones could be controlled.” Fang Heng muttered in a low voice, then suddenly stopped. The danger perception skill was activated again. He sensed a slight danger coming from the corner. It was a zombie! “Chi!” He raised his hand and slashed. The zombie hiding in the corner had its neck cut off by Fang Heng. Its head was cut off, and it flew up. It landed on the ground with a thud. Fang Heng walked around the corner and saw the stairway. He went straight to the third floor. He cleaned up all the zombies along the way. At the same time, he looked at the words on the door plate. “Storage room.” “Lounge.” “Living room.” “Clothes room…” “Dean’s room.” Found it. Fang Heng tried to push the door. The door was locked. “Click.” Fang Heng took out a shotgun, pulled the bolt and aimed at the door lock. “Bang!” A gunshot was heard, and a big hole was created in the door lock by the shotgun. “Wu…” Hearing the gunshot, the zombies in the dean’s office immediately surrounded Fang Heng. Fang Heng pushed the wooden door open with a loud bang and used his machete to slash the zombies. “Chi! Chi!” [Hint: Your attack has caused the ‘dismemberment’ effect.] [Hint: You have killed a zombie.
