Chapter 285 -285 Harvest Outside the Hospital
If Guo Yang were here, he would have eagerly gathered everything that could be taken, but unfortunately, Su Jin wasn’t particularly interested in most of these items, which mainly consisted of gift boxes and pastries brought for visiting patients. As for the fresh flowers and fruits, they had long since rotted beyond recognition.
The merchandise from several general stores could still be worth taking. Many of these were set up for the convenience of family members staying at the hospital before the Apocalypse.
The folding beds and cooking utensils were also usable, and it seemed very easy for Song Sibo to pick up things—no wonder Liang Jiuhui brought him along. His Space must be considerable too.
“Apprentice, what is this?” Nie Qing picked up a small white plastic jug and asked.
“Pfft—”
Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but laugh. Nie Qing had actually picked up a urine bottle from the shelf to examine.
...
“Master… that’s, a urine bottle,”
Lu Hao helped Nie Qing understand, and it was a relief that Xiao Jin and the others just glanced around the shop and left, especially since it was a male urine bottle…
“…”
Finding himself with a bedpan, Nie Qing awkwardly placed the item back where it came from.
Song Sibo, who was collecting items nearby, paused as well. To take it or not?
He looked at Liang Jiuhui, seemingly seeking guidance with his eyes.
“Take it, take it. Who knows if it might be useful for hospital patients?” Liang Jiuhui waved his hand.
Song Sibo nodded and began to systematically store the items from the shelves into his Space.
To Liang Jiuhui’s delight, there were even two pharmacies near the hospital, and only a few Zombies were inside—apparently, they hadn’t been looted by anyone.
Although Su Jin was envious, her Space already contained a large pharmacy, which she acquired along with the drug storage it had behind it.
However, since the Apocalypse, her family had barely needed that pharmacy’s supplies. Although they couldn’t avoid scrapes and bruises when going out, Lin Tianhui’s Healing Art or her Wood Element Healing sufficed to handle these injuries.
So now, she decided not to compete with Liang Jiuhui for the supplies, which could be life-saving for the base. freewebnøvel.com
While Liang Jiuhui and his group were scavenging the pharmacies, Su Jin was drawn to a large flower shop. As a qualified Wood Element Ability User, she felt she should take a look inside.
“Xiao Jin, you go in, we’ll guard the door,”
Huang Yunxiang said with utmost caution, worried that someone might discover Su Jin if she gathered items.
Lin Tianzhen and Mao Zhihang also nodded seriously, agreeing to guard the entrance with Huang Yunxiang.
Suppressing a laugh, Su Jin had always been concerned that her family might accidentally reveal the secret of her Space. But she gradually realized that these elders were actually far more cautious than she was, always wanting to hide and protect the good stuff at home.
“Qiqi, what’s the situation like inside the hospital?” Su Jin asked, seeing the car had traveled some distance, and Qiqi should now be able to sense what was happening inside the hospital.
“Zombies… many, but no mutated zombies,” Mao Qiqi said.
Su Jin nodded her head. If the zombies in the hospital had generally not been exposed to that rain, the chance of them mutating would be much smaller.
While they were still on their way to the hospital, Liang Jiuhui had Guan Hong take out a floor plan of the hospital to explain to everyone in the vehicle: “This hospital has pharmacies on the first, second, and third floors, and there is also a pharmaceutical warehouse behind the hospital building. Our goal is limited to these four places; we should avoid going any higher if possible.”
“How many floors does the hospital have?” Su Jin asked.
“Eight floors. Actually, the floors above the fourth are the inpatient wards. There might be even more zombies there,”
Guan Hong added, saying that they had collected all the information on city hospitals, and this one wasn’t a major hospital but was one of the closer ones to the base.
In the midst of the conversation, the entirety of the hospital came into view. What seemed strange to everyone was that looking through the entrance of the hospital, there wasn’t a single zombie in sight?!
Everyone instinctively looked towards Mao Qiqi, as if waiting for her explanation.
“I can only feel that all the zombies are inside the hospital building; there are none in the courtyard,”
Mao Qiqi found it strange too, but that was indeed what her mini-map was showing, and even Sheng Jing on the side said the same.
“It must be the mutated plants; everyone be very careful,” Su Jin said, looking ahead.
