Xiao Fan immediately stood up, knowing this ward was no longer safe.
Not only was this ward unsafe, but this whole hospital was likely very dangerous.
Hospitals were places with high traffic to begin with. After the earlier commotion, Xiao Fan could vaguely hear roars coming from some of the wards.
Some zombies had mutated inside the wards, but the doors were closed, locking many zombies inside the rooms.
Even so, there were still quite a few zombies in the corridors, most gathered on the other side. They would likely come this way soon.
He had to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.
He now somewhat wanted to return to his rented apartment, since most of his belongings were there.
Xiao Fan's mother had passed away very early on. His father farmed land in their hometown. He also had a younger sister currently attending high school back home.
Xiao Fan had made several calls earlier. No one had picked up the home phone, and he could not get through to his sister's phone either. Communications networks seemed to be down, probably damaged by the lightning strike.
He needed to get back home, gather his belongings, then he wanted to go home to find his father and sister.
But he also knew this would absolutely not be simple. Shenhai was a second-tier city, but one had to know, the Divine State where he lived had the largest population in the world.
The Blue Bay Planet was massive. With a global population of over seven billion people, the Divine State alone had 1.4 billion people. Even a second-tier city like Shenhai had a population surpassing 100 million.
Wanting to leave this place, transportation was an indispensable necessity.
Although he did not know how things were outside, he could guess that even getting back to his rented apartment would be an extremely difficult journey.
First, just getting out of the hospital would be hard. At the very least, he could not take the elevator or stairs, because going down to the first floor, whether the inpatient or emergency department, would definitely be packed with patients.
No, packed with zombies.
At this time, Annie reminded: "Commander, don't forget there is still your motorcycle in the parking lot."
Xiao Fan nodded. He certainly would not forget. But now was not the best time to retrieve his motorcycle.
It was already 10 pm, pitch dark outside. And the zombies' eyes glowed red, their movement probably not impeded by the night. He needed to wait until daylight before taking action.
"Let's go, we'll find a safe room to hide in first."
Bringing Wang Zhan along, the two swiftly left the room.
Stepping over several corpses in the hallway, Xiao Fan started searching as he moved down the corridor.
The scene in the hallway was like hell on earth. Blood splatters everywhere, scattered limbs and bones, and some places even had unidentified human body parts, making one nauseous and wanting to vomit just from a glance.
If not for Xiao Fan having not eaten in three days, he would have definitely thrown up by now.
In contrast, Wang Zhan was completely unfazed by all this, settling Xiao Fan's heart a little.
Almost every ward had the roar of zombies coming from within. After just a few steps, Xiao Fan gave up on entering the other wards.
Recklessly opening the doors would only bring more danger.
Xiao Fan's gaze fell upon the hospital directory on the wall.
This was the inpatient building of Shenhai People's Hospital. Floors one through seven were all patient wards of various departments.
He guessed the situation was probably similar on the other floors. Everywhere was dangerous.
Wanting to leave the hospital and reach the parking lot in the back would absolutely not be easy.
Xiao Fan's mind raced as he suddenly thought of the initial game map.
The map was the large screen on the left side of the light curtain. Xiao Fan himself was at the center of that screen. At game start, the area around him would light up and become visible.
Within that visibility range, whether allies or enemies, would all be marked on the map in different colors, functioning like a mini radar.
If he had the map now, he'd be able to see the surroundings and avoid areas with many zombies in advance. Leaving the hospital would no longer be difficult then.
He immediately asked Annie about this.
"Reporting Commander, to light up the initial map requires the Commander to construct virtual buildings, a power plant. Only with electricity can the map become visible."
Xiao Fan hurriedly opened the Basic Buildings page, and indeed saw a constructible building.
Power Plant: Cost 800 gold.
In the game, the power plant was the foundation for all buildings. Only with a power plant could other buildings operate.
But Xiao Fan could only build virtual buildings for now, which were relatively cheap.
Still, 800 gold was a considerable amount for current Xiao Fan.
At the very least, he did not think he could earn that much on this floor.
Xiao Fan's gaze fell upon the hospital directory on the wall once more.
"Seventh floor.....VIP wards...."
Xiao Fan quickly realized what the VIP wards meant - they were private rooms, for wealthy and influential people to stay in.
Private rooms meant fewer people, thus fewer zombies.
Wealthy people also meant a higher chance of finding more jewelry, which was Xiao Fan's main motivation for wanting to go there.
Since he could not leave the hospital for now, he might as well take a gamble and sweep through the seventh floor. Success would greatly strengthen his power.
Mind made up, Xiao Fan immediately set off.
There were roars coming from the stairwell, so stairs were out of the question.
With stairs not an option, the only way to reach the seventh floor was by elevator!
Xiao Fan looked at the elevator, on the other side of the nurse's station, which was the side closer to the zombie horde!
