This is apocalyptic

Chapter 123 122: Deterrence

"Did people before the disaster take medicine as food?" Lin Duoduo was amazed. The street they just walked on was only more than a thousand meters long, and Bai Xiao took her into seven pharmacies.

"Where can I get so much money to buy it?"

The Zombie King spoke lazily. It was obvious that he didn't gain much in these stores, so he lost interest.

After all, it has been too long.

Even if there are still some things left in some stores, the medicine has turned into powder.

He threw a twenty-year-old calcium tablet into his mouth and even ate the meat of zombie animals. The zombie king was increasingly not considering himself a human being.

I don't dare give this thing to Lin Duoduo. It's okay if it just causes diarrhea, but if she has an allergic reaction or vomiting and diarrhea, it will be poisoning.

"Look, that's the hospital over there." Bai Xiao pointed to the distance.

This was the direction of the smoke seen from Aunt Qian's house during the first scavenging. At that time, Lin Duoduo guessed that it was people from Chenjiabao who went to the hospital to scavenger. Now it seems that her judgment was very accurate.

Aunt Qian was a well-to-do family before the disaster. Not only was the neighborhood upscale, but the location was also good.

The abandoned hospital was somewhat eerie. Bai Xiao did not see any zombies in white coats outside. Even if there were any, they had turned into rags of unrecognizable color over the years.

The traces left by the scavengers in Chenjiabao two years ago were no longer found. The two men went to the hospital, where one of the hospital's annex buildings had been burned down and the main building was also covered with mottled marks left by the years.

Now is the right time, as the chill of early spring is still there. Although the road is still difficult to walk on, at least it is not completely covered by the plants that grew wildly in spring and summer.

Lin Duoduo showed great interest in the hospital. Looking around, Bai Xiao suddenly remembered that her father used to be a doctor who treated patients in a white coat.

There were zombies in the stairwell that had been cleared out and were wearing nurse uniforms and hospital gowns.

Judging from their scars, they did not die of natural old age over a long period of time. Trapped in buildings, their lifespan is longer than that in the wild.

Bai Xiao felt a little sorry that the people from Chenjiabao got there first. In the wave two years ago, the people from Chenjiabao came to look for survivors and even visited the hospital.

Bai Xiao found a wheelchair in the ward, sat on it to try it out, and then pushed Lin Duoduo down to sit.

"Let's take it back?" Bai Xiao said.

"What are you bringing this for?"

“When you become a zombie, I will tie you up here and push you around.” Bai Xiao thought for a moment. The zombie Lin Duoduo, whose eyes were red and drooling, was pushed in a wheelchair by him. If there were any more dangerous things, such as wolves, he would untie the rope and a fresh zombie would come out.

Lin Duoduo glanced at him with a calm expression and said nothing.

"These two wheels can be transformed into a wooden cart. If your tricycle breaks down someday, it will be useful."

This statement touched Lin Duoduo, and she started thinking about how to remove the two wheels.

It is foldable, so Bai Xiao folded it and put it aside, ready to take it with him when he goes out, and then walked out of the room.

A zombie came towards him, Bai Xiao locked it in the room and locked the door.

In the doctor's office, the table was overturned, and one could vaguely see traces of the people inside using the table to block the door in resistance when the disaster struck. Medical records were scattered all over the floor, and there were books in the drawer of the table that the doctor was reading, but they were too professional and of little use to the two of them.

The Zombie King found a usable white coat and put it on, took off his helmet, and took out a stethoscope, "Let's try to see if this is scrapped!"

"How to try?"

“It seems to be listening to the heartbeat.”

"Listen to yourself."

"You little comrade, you are not cooperating at all."

Bai Xiao fiddled with the stethoscope, put his white coat on her, and continued searching.

There were many things that could be found in the hospital, including thermometers, syringes, tweezers, suture needles, surgical scissors and other miscellaneous items, which he collected.

Something is better than nothing. He also wants to cut open the wounds bitten by zombies and sew them up again one day, and use the scars to remove the corpse spots. Maybe he can disguise himself as a human better.

I went around the outpatient clinic, operating room and other rooms, and packed anything I thought might be useful into a big bag.

He also found some clothes for himself and, together with Lin Duoduo, wandered around the abandoned hospital like two doctors.

"You look good in a white coat." Bai Xiao suddenly said. "Really?"

"If there weren't zombies, you might be a doctor." He looked at Lin Duoduo.

"I am the same now." Lin Duoduo said, "I cured you."

"You mean, he...tui! Apply herbal medicine to me?"

Bai Xiao will never forget her perfunctory and disgusting way of treatment. After applying the medicine, she even opened the wound to take a look. This doctor must be a quack.

Lin Duoduo's expression was serious. "I've cured you so that you don't drool anymore."

"Actually... that's fine."

The Zombie King shrugged. This sentence made it sound like he was a fool who drooled every day. What did it mean to be cured and stop drooling?
The most valuable items in the hospital should be the high-tech medical equipment, but they cannot be started without electricity, and have been almost scrapped over the years.

Nothing can function without electricity.

There was still a zombie hiding in the CT room. They heard the noise outside banging on the door, making a bang bang sound, but they did not go in.

When I arrived at the pharmacy and looked at the scattered bottles and jars, there was nothing valuable left.

The morgue is now the least scary place. There are only rotten bones in it. Although it is still full of eerie energy, it is better than those emaciated zombies.

After walking around every building, it was already dark. Bai Xiao found a ward and while Lin Duoduo was resting, he went out alone in the dark with the big bag and wheelchair he had collected and put them where the tricycles were parked.

There are fewer and fewer survivors nowadays, and there is no need to worry about other scavengers coming to pick up the tricycles.

The next day, I continued to leave the hospital and look for other places where supplies might be stored. Just after I walked a distance, I saw the same big cat that I met last time when I was scavenging.

It was drooling, its stomach was empty and dry, and it was looking for food everywhere. When Bai Xiao saw it, it was holding a struggling mouse and biting it.

Bai Xiao asked Lin Duoduo to retreat, while he stood in front with a harpoon.

Lin Duoduo didn't hesitate, and quickly ran back to the building with the gun in hand, looking for a place with a good view. This was what they had agreed on before they set out. If there were signs of infected monsters living in groups here, the Zombie King would move around below, while she would find a safe high place to raid.

Monsters are like old zombies. They are only scary when they gather in a group. They are not a threat when they appear alone. Bai Xiao can deal with them by herself. All she has to do is to guard against a group of them and hunt the zombie king.

If a large group of them really appear, she will be responsible for protecting the Zombie King.

The monster heard the noise, put down the mouse in its mouth, bent down, and made a pounce gesture towards Bai Xiao, making a low sound in its throat.

Bai Xiao held the harpoon and also let out a zombie-like roar.

This was a prelude to an attack. He was already preparing to attack with a harpoon. Hearing the zombie king's roar, he picked up the mouse and turned around and ran away, disappearing into the ruins in a few leaps.

Bai Xiao stood there in a daze.

"Why did it run away?" Lin Duoduo didn't know what had happened. She waited for Bai Xiao to come back and asked him.

"Scared away by... me?" The Zombie King scratched his head. What was going on?

Was it the king's intimidation? Or did the roar cause it to misunderstand something?
Seeing Bai Xiao’s confused and silly face, Lin Duoduo knew that he was also surprised.

"Yell at me." Lin Duoduo only saw his back.

"Oh... like this?" Bai Xiao said in a very perfunctory tone.

"Do it like that."

"Just like a zombie, but I had a fierce expression and scared it away."

Bai Xiao guessed that it was the sensitivity to danger that made it realize that he was not someone to be trifled with, as the scent of a predator often could not be hidden.

The moment he gripped the harpoon, he had already aimed at the opponent's neck.

"How fierce is he?" Lin Duoduo looked at him.

"Super fierce, look at my eyes." Bai Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at his zombie eyes.
