Chapter 273: Chapter 143 The Inevitable Arrival_l

“The Mad Demon Zombies outside haven’t left yet…”

At the entrance of the negative third floor, Han Rui pressed her ear to the door to use her Perception, then spoke somewhat helplessly.

She had just slept for two hours, yet the Mad Demon Zombies outside still hadn’t left.

“It’s probably because of the body of that Green-eyed Zombie…”

Wang Tao said, frowning.

The Zombie Culture Fluid inside the Green-eyed Zombies exerted a huge attraction on zombies. Although Wang Tao had taken all the culture fluid, the zombie’s body was still there. Since the Green-eyed Zombie could produce the culture fluid, its body might also be somewhat different…

“If these Mad Demon Zombies don’t leave, we won’t be able to get out…”

Han Rui felt uncomfortable.

Although there was no danger on the negative third floor, staying here indefinitely wasn’t a solution. The nutrient solution that Wang Tao had would run out eventually, then what would they do?

“Now…” Wang Tao looked at his watch, “it’s already dark. Let’s wait until tomorrow morning. If they’re still not gone by then, we can try to see if we can go through the elevator shaft.”

To enter the negative third floor, there were only three entrances, two stairwells, and one elevator.

One stairwell had already been blocked, and that one was definitely impassable.

The other stairwell was completely surrounded by Mad Demon Zombies, so that wasn’t an option either.

So, they had to think of a way to use the elevator shaft.

The elevator was broken and unusable, and it also had a special lock. But they should be able to pry it open and climb up through the shaft.

However, now that it was dark, even if they could get out, there was no need to do so at this time. Better to wait until daylight.

The two returned to the break room, where the little zombie had already been dealt with by Han Rui and moved to the morgue.

There was only one bed, and after Wang Tao lay down on it, Han Rui naturally snuggled into his arms.

Wang Tao held her close and fell asleep.

Boom—

Wang Tao thought he heard an explosion in the distance.

He sat up instantly, with a hint of green shimmering in his eyes.

“What’s the matter?”

Han Rui, sensing Wang Tao’s movement, thought a zombie had come and quickly grabbed the sniper crossbow by the bed while releasing her Perception, but she didn’t perceive any zombies.

“I thought I heard an explosion…”

Wang Tao was somewhat unsure if it was an illusion, but he chose to believe it was real.

He looked at his watch, which showed it was six in the morning, and daylight had come. So he quickly went with Han Rui to the doors leading to the second floor.

“There are a lot fewer Mad Demon Zombies outside! Within the range of my Perception, at least two-thirds are gone!”

Han Rui was somewhat surprised.

But she frowned and said:

“Still, even with only one-third left, that’s a lot… We might not be able to break through.”

A single Mad Demon Zombie wasn’t frightening, but if they were ensnared by so many, they definitely wouldn’t be able to make it. Just a scratch or any small wound was big trouble.

“Seems we can only go through the elevator shaft.”

The two came to the elevator shaft and, after some effort, managed to pry open the elevator door. Naturally, they didn’t dare make too much noise, to avoid alerting the Mad Demon Zombies on the negative second floor.

Then Wang Tao’s pupils turned green, and he peered inside.

The elevator seemed to be stuck between the third and fourth floors, and it was unclear how it got stuck.

Wang Tao observed for a while and, once sure it wouldn’t suddenly fall, closed the elevator door on the negative third floor, then started climbing up with Han Rui. Since this was still a suitable refuge, closing the door to prevent zombies from entering also served to leave behind a temporary camp.

Both of their physical strengths were extraordinary, so climbing the elevator shaft was naturally no problem.

Han Rui kept her Perception active throughout the climb. There were lots of zombies at the elevator entrance on the negative second floor, and quite a few on the negative first floor as well, but there were no zombies at the elevator entrance on the ground floor.

After they carefully pried open the elevator door on the first floor, the sunlight streamed in, causing both of them to squint their eyes reflexively.

“Let’s go!”

Once they were sure it was safe, Wang Tao and Han Rui ran out of the hospital.

“So many traces of zombie activity…”

There were many abandoned vehicles inside the hospital, and a prominent trail was left when a large number of zombies passed through, moving these vehicles.

Wang Tao had thought these trails were made by the Mad Demon Zombies from the clinic building running towards the inpatient department, but after a closer look, he realized: these were the trails of a large number of zombies running outside…

Earlier, when Wang Tao heard from Han Rui that two-thirds of the Mad Demon Zombies from the negative second floor were gone, he thought they had returned to the clinic building. But now it seemed that these Mad Demon Zombies had gone out!

Could it be that something major happened outside that attracted those Mad Demons away?

Recalling the faint explosion he heard in the morning, a sinking feeling suddenly hit Wang Tao.

Those Mad Demon Zombies, couldn’t have gone to the base, could they?

After all, it seemed that only the base was capable of creating explosions… Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that it was the Gorilla zombies causing Destruction!

“Move fast!”

The electric off-road vehicle was parked a little distance from the hospital to prevent the hospital’s zombies from accidentally damaging the car.

When they got back to the vehicle, it was clearly covered in more mud than before, as if many feet had trampled over it.

But the car was covered with steel plates on the outside, so it wasn’t much of an issue.

Wang Tao drove, and Han Rui sat in the passenger seat helping him sense the zombies around them.

Humming-

The electric motor of the off-road vehicle made a light sound as it sped towards the base.

The closer they got to the base, the grimmer Wang Tao’s expression became. The obvious signs of a large number of zombies passing through the road were too apparent; they were most likely heading to the base!
