She quickly cleared the zombies in front of the door and re-locked the doors from the second to the third floor.
The hallway was packed with zombies. If not for her shield, there would have been no place to stand.
She placed more than a dozen alarm clocks in the stairwell on the fourth floor. When the alarms rang simultaneously, the zombies were drawn to the fourth floor by the sound.
After the alarms turned off, nearly half the zombies were on the fourth floor. Xu Qian quickly locked the door between the fourth and third floors.
The pressure on the third floor instantly lessened.
Xu Qian quickly waded through the zombie horde, swiftly dispatching them.
Most of the zombies on the third floor were women, their footsteps slower, making them relatively easier to kill.
A large portion of the zombies were cleared, and the enhanced attack disappeared. Her hands, due to overuse, felt numb and tingly, as if pricked by needles.
Just as she was about to go downstairs to rest for a bit.
A baby's cry rang out.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Xu Qian frowned. Weren't there no zombies on the third floor?
She walked towards the sound. It was the delivery room. Inside, a young female zombie, naked, was wandering the room, her umbilical cord trailing on the floor, with bloodstains scattered across it.
The baby was in a nearby weighing tray, wrapped in a quilt, crying loudly.
The zombie mother shuffled forward with stiff steps to feed the baby.
She didn't pick up the child, but directly bent down to feed.
Xu Qian sighed. It was because of this that the infant hadn't starved to death. She leaned in to look. The baby was fair and tender, showing no signs of being a zombie.
After being fed, the child fell into a sleepy daze. The zombie mother stood up and continued to wander within the delivery room.
She had observed carefully; this zombie was no different from other white-eyed zombies.
Could it be because she was a mother?
Xu Qian bent down and picked up the infant. The zombie mother showed no reaction.
She glanced back at the zombie mother and whispered, "Don't worry, the hospital will take care of him."
The stairwell on the third floor was now clear of zombies. Ye Yunzhou was peering from the doorway. Seeing Xu Qian descend, his face lit up with joy.
"Are you alright? Are there any other survivors on the third floor?"
"Yes, this one."
She handed the infant in her arms to Ye Yunzhou. The thing was so soft, she was truly scared of it.
A flicker of surprise crossed Ye Yunzhou's eyes. His beautiful features became even more gentle as he held the child and patted it, truly like a father.
"Child, Student Xu, you must be tired. Go rest for a while. Your bed is arranged next to your little boyfriend's. Lunch will be delivered later."
Xu Qian's gaze fell on his face, then quickly lowered her eyelids.
"Okay."
Back in the room, Xu Qian took off her black tracksuit stained with zombie blood and changed into a purple tracksuit.
When she came out, a compressed biscuit and a small cup of water were on the table.
Xu Qian lowered her gaze, picked up the water, and took a sip. A sweet taste spread through her mouth.
Glucose?
"Student Xu." Ye Yunzhou's face was a little pale, and he rushed into the room without even knocking.
"Student Xu, our rescue companions are being held up by a group of zombies. Could you please help?"
Xu Qian frowned, her tone indifferent. "Let's go take a look first." The probability of Grade Two zombies appearing in the hospital was high, but even a Grade Two zombie wouldn't block a vehicle, would it?
The two walked to the window. Many people were looking out from the windows. The professor was also pacing at the entrance and exit. Seeing Xu Qian, he looked delighted and eagerly clasped her hand.
"Student Xu, I trouble you. Look."
Xu Qian looked down. Below, there was a minivan, blocked by a zombie with orange eyes in front, and many white-eyed zombies were also surrounding the vehicle, preventing it from moving.
They had formed a cordon.
Why would these zombies collectively attack this vehicle?
Xu Qian was stunned. Grade Two zombies didn't have the ability to control lower-level zombies.
Her eyes narrowed as she carefully observed the orange-eyed zombie. It was wearing a white coat and black leather shoes. Even as a zombie, it looked relatively neat and clean.
"Who is that Grade Two zombie?"
The professor looked embarrassed. "It's our dean."
Xu Qian understood.
For example, school principals or hospital deans often become Grade Two zombies. Those who were originally leaders in life remained leaders among the zombie horde.
Xu Qian's gaze deepened slightly. She took out a singing toy and threw it into the distance. The zombies, however, seemed not to hear it and continued to surround the minivan.
Seeing the number of zombies around the car increasing.
Xu Qian's gaze was heavy. Her voice couldn't attract the zombies. If this continued, the zombies would soon break the car windows.
"There are too many zombies below. I can't do it alone."
Two fists can't fight four hands, and besides, her enhanced attack was depleted. Although she had the Peace buckle, even if she could get there and open the door, could they get out?
She could only rely on her brute strength and mental abilities now. Her mental abilities could only slow them down, and she didn't dare to take the risk.
People around raised their hands one after another.
"I'll go too."
"Yes, me too."
"They saved us. We can't stand by and watch them die."
Xu Qian's heart trembled. How long had it been since she had seen such a scene? People are selfish, but these people were selfless, and they were going forward without hesitation.
