The hospital pharmacy near the base had long been ransacked. If they wanted to find the things Jing Xiubai needed, they had to go farther.

When the SUV braked swiftly in front of the door of the central hospital, Chi Xin's expression was the most indifferent it had ever been. Yu Xiang glanced at her when he parked and couldn't help but say admiratively: "As expected of Sister Chi, you are the first one to keep your calm in a car with me."

Chi Xin tried to calm her wild heart and to avoid exposing herself, she didn't even look at her driver as she got out of the car.

"You're really cool."

Chi Xin regained some of her senses and touched her waist when she touched the ground. She recalled how the Zombie King had snatched Rong Feng's knife from her and felt slightly naked. Could it be that Rong Feng had wanted to talk to her about the weapon last night? Not only had she lost someone else's thing, she had also forgotten to apologize.

Yu Xiang also jumped out of the car. He looked around and asked: "Chi Xin, don't you think something is wrong?"

Chi Xin glanced at him and Yu Xiang added: "It's quiet."

It was. Usually, even if there were no zombies around, howling and screeching roars could be heard from afar. But right now, even with her enhanced hearing, Chi Xin couldn't hear any noise of zombie activity.

Yu Xiang started getting anxious: "Every time it's silent, we encounter something big...?"

Chi Xin shook her head, lost in her thoughts. She couldn't tell him anything but her internal alarm wasn't ringing, indicating there should be nothing to worry about.

But then, where had all the zombies gone? Did the Zombie King take them all with him? With such a large army, did it mean he was planning to destroy the world quickly?

Worry spread in her heart and she started feeling a little uneasy. But with an indifferent voice, she said: "Let's see."

"What?" Yu Xiang was taken aback.

Chi Xin looked down and found a flat can on the ground. Without thinking about it, she moved her food and kicked it, forgetting her strength for a moment. The can flew in the air in a flash and hit an abandoned car not too far away.

Bang—

With a loud noise, the thin can set deep in the vehicle and cracked the metal body.

Yu Xiang: ...

Chi Xin: ...

[Ding! +0.1 trouble value.] The system sounded.

Chi Xin grimaced. She threw a gun at Yu Xiang and headed toward the hospital.

Yu Xiang's face was still full of shock. He opened his mouth but dared not say anything; it seemed as if Chi Xin wasn't in a good mood today and it was better not to provoke her. For the first time since she had transmigrated, the young master Yu stayed silent.

The sun was bright and strong in the sky outside but as soon as they walked into the hospital, the surroundings became gloomy. The walls of the building were thick and instead of the usual scent of disinfectant, blood stains and corpses that hadn't entirely decayed were scattered in the corridors.

Chi Xin knew no zombies were around and she walked smoothly. Yu Xiang followed her closely, always looking vigilant, and whistled with admiration when he saw her calm appearance.

"What does Jing Xiubai need?"

"Let's go to the pharmacy. He needs anxiety meds and sedatives." Yu Xiang whispered back, much quieter than her.

Knowing there were no zombies, Chi Xin had no expectations for that trip. Once again, her plan to earn some trouble value had failed and she felt a little depressed.

Yu Xiang kept moving around, quickly setting all the medicine he could find in front of Chi Xin and watched her lazily reach out to transfer them in her space.

"Can't you be more spirited? What if something happens and you're not ready?"

"Shush. Go get more." Chi Xin replied.

Yu Xiang closed his mouth abruptly and went to look for more medicine pitifully.

Chi Xin touched the mark on her collarbone. She wasn't sure if it was because her strength had increased and because her senses had become sharper, but every time she gathered items in the space, she could faintly feel the pendant getting warmer. But she couldn't check it with Yu Xiang around.

The young man came back with more supplies and Chi Xin asked: "Is that it?"

"Let's keep going, we might not have as much luck next time." Yu Xiang answered.

Chi Xin didn't object; nobody had too much medicine in the last days. She started walking again and a faint voice suddenly reached her ears. She paused for a second, suspecting she had heard it wrong.

Yu Xiang noticed she was behaving a little strangely and asked: "What's wrong?"

Chi Xin's expression gradually sank. She raised her eyes to look at Yu Xiang and whispered: "Someone is there."

***

At the entrance of the hospital, six tall men walked in with caution.

"Is there really nothing wrong here?" One of them asked, "I really don't want to become a second Old Three."

"Shut up, idiot. Should we go back empty-handed?" Another man with a big scar on his face and a turban on his hand answered. His fierce eyes gave a bad feeling at first glance and he chuckled: "You don't want to be a second Old Three, do you want to be that?"

He nodded with his chin at a decayed zombie next to him that had been dead for a long time.

The scarred man obviously had a lot of weight in this team and as soon as he opened his mouth, the men who were still somewhat reluctant no longer dared say anything.

"What a shitty city. Even the hospital is so shabby." The scarred man spat, never letting go of the machine gun in his hand, "And it's this unlucky bastard's fault. He wasn't bitten by a zombie but injured by his own men, did he even have a brain?"

One of the men in the team was already a little timid and was even more scared to utter a word.

"Old Five is scared." Someone laughed, "But who knew such a large group of zombies would suddenly appear?"

"Yeah." Another man said, "But it's really strange, there hadn't been any zombies since yesterday. Where are they?"

"Who the fuck cares where they went? I just want to go back to the base." The scarred man hissed viciously before a lewd expression took place on his face, "They said there were new innocent lambs to find."

The other men laughed wickedly and only the timidest asked: "Is what the little white flower said really accurate? We have come all this way."

"Whether it is or not, she will be in trouble when we catch her." The scarred man said, "Shi is the first one who dared escape from the base, she must pay the price."

The men howled.

"What kind of price do you want her to pay, boss?"

They asked as they walked all the way to the pharmacy.
