Xiao Fan calculated the distance, the group of corpses on the other side was about 50 meters away from the elevator entrance. Based on the moving speed of the zombies, it would take about 40 seconds for them to get here.
The hospital corridor was arched, once he ran to the elevator entrance, he would definitely be spotted by the zombies.
Currently the elevator should be on the first floor. Going from the first to the fourth floor would probably take 30 seconds, plus the time to open and close the doors, it was about the same time as the zombies taking to get here.
So the timing was very tight, one small mistake would lead to being torn into pieces.
He looked at Wang Zhan: "Can you make sure the two of us successfully get on the elevator?"
Wang Zhan patted the crowbar in his hand: "Sir, with gunshots I guarantee I can complete the task!"
"Good, we must take risks for potential gains, let's go!"
Xiao Fan immediately led Wang Zhan rushing towards the elevator entrance.
When they arrived at the entrance, the group of zombies gathered on the other side of the corridor instantly noticed them.
Just like flies spotting rotten meat, the zombies let out roars one after another, staggering towards the entrance!
Before the zombies arrived, the nauseating bloody smell already swept over.
Xiao Fan immediately pressed the elevator button. As expected the elevator started going up from the first floor.
When the number changed to 2, the zombies were already halfway there.
"Open fire!"
Seeing the elevator was about to arrive on the third floor, Xiao Fan steeled himself to take a gamble.
Wang Zhan immediately followed the order, raising his crowbar and started shooting!
Bang! Gunshot rang out, a zombie only dozens of meters away got its head blown off!
Blood and brain matter sprayed out at the same time, the huge impact of the bullet completely shattered the zombie's head.
Xiao Fan saw a faint experience bar appearing above Wang Zhan's head, the progress showing 4/30.
He remembered Wang Zhan said the Red Alert units could rank up, up to 3 stars max.
Wang Zhan had killed 4 zombies so far. At this rate, after killing 30 zombies, he would rank up to 1 star.
Consecutive gunshots kept ringing out, one zombie after another getting shot down. Some took one bullet, most took two. The no-star private's shooting skill was just slightly better than ordinary people.
After shooting over a dozen zombies, there were only 4 bullets left in Wang Zhan's gun.
At this moment, the elevator finally arrived.
Xiao Fan had calculated the timing. The peak period of the outbreak was the early morning to late morning three days ago when there were more people outside, so the elevator must have been inevitably affected. However as long as the elevator door opened once, zombies inside would definitely swarm out, meaning higher chance of safety inside now.
The elevator door opened, and as Xiao Fan expected, it was full of bloodstains inside but no people or zombies.
Wang Zhan immediately switched to a combat knife, covering Xiao Fan to quickly get in the elevator, then followed in himself.
Using the knife he stabbed a zombie to death that came close, then kicked its body out. The elevator door barely closed in time.
Xiao Fan pressed floor 7. The elevator started going up.
Standing inside the elevator, Xiao Fan let out a breath.
But he did not relax his vigilance. The key was the situation after the elevator reached the 7th floor - whether they could gain a foothold there would determine success or failure of the plan.
Soon the elevator arrived at the 7th floor and the door opened.
There was also the smell of blood here but obviously much fainter than the 4th floor.
Xiao Fan carefully peeked out to take a look left and right. He found indeed fewer zombies on this floor.
In total there were sporadically only about a dozen zombies wandering the 7th floor hallway, all quite scattered.
"Let's go, to the nurse station!"
Seeing no zombies inside the nurse station, Xiao Fan immediately led Wang Zhan rushing in. In the process they did not alert any distant zombies.
Once inside the nurse station, Xiao Fan first found and drank down a bottle of glucose.
Having not eaten for three days, he urgently needed some energy intake, otherwise he wouldn't even have the strength to run.
Seeing Xiao Fan's actions, Wang Zhan took out his own rations and placed compressed biscuits and canned meat in front of Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan thought about it then ate a piece of compressed biscuit and half the canned meat. He would leave the rest for Wang Zhan who was currently the main fighting force.
The two quickly ate some food and recovered a bit of strength, then immediately checked ammo.
There were 4 bullets left in Wang Zhan's gun, but he quickly hauled over a long bench from the nurse station to block the entrance.
With the counter inside the nurse station as cover, he would snipe zombies from here.
He loudly coughed a few times. Some zombies heard the sound and immediately shuffled over.
A zombie nurse came to the front of the counter, baring its teeth wanting to attack Wang Zhan, but its arms were blocked by the counter. With its simple mind it didn't know to climb over.
Wang Zhan directly swung his combat knife beheading this zombie in one slash.
The bloody smell from a killed zombie would soon attract more zombies over.
Just the zombies in the hallway coming over one by one would be easy enough to handle.
But suddenly the zombies inside a patient ward across the hallway got agitated from hearing outside sounds. They broke down the door and swarmed out!
This was a single patient room so normally only had one patient inside, but unexpectedly there were 5-6 relatives and visitors of the patient kept inside!
Along with the 2 zombies attracted over from the hallway, 7-8 zombies charged over together. Wang Zhan was instantly overwhelmed.
He continuously slashed with his knife taking down several zombies, but there were still a few that broke through the bench barricade.
"Open fire!"
Xiao Fan couldn't care less now. He took out his gun and fired the last 2 bullets, shooting down a zombie.
Wang Zhan also started firing. The 4 bullets took down 3 zombies.
There was still one last zombie that pounced onto Wang Zhan, its sharp claws instantly leaving several bloody gashes on Wang Zhan's chest.
Xiao Fan was extremely anxious. The serum they had was already used up today! Presently they didn't have any serum to cure Wang Zhan if infected. Could it be his first soldier would fall here just like that?
In desperation he forgot fear, rushing over and fiercely kicked the zombie off of Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan swiftly finished it off with his knife.
There were still zombies approaching from distance. Wang Zhan was injured, both were out of bullets, seemingly facing despair.
But unexpectedly in this moment, a white glow flashed on Wang Zhan, his entire being instantly becoming spirited.
"Sir, I've ranked up!"
Xiao Fan was astonished. Looking closely Wang Zhan had indeed changed.
His tattered clothes were restored. The chest wounds had disappeared too. He was full of vigor with perfect condition.
Moreover, there was an additional small red star insignia on his shoulder marks, like a military rank marking.
"Indeed different. What changes do you feel?"
Wang Zhan immediately said: "After ranking up, my combat and shooting skills have improved. Now even empty-handed I can defeat 3 average adults. My backpack food automatically refilled. Injuries automatically recover. And most importantly, not only were my bullets restocked to 30, but I also gained two more ammo clips!"
As he spoke, Wang Zhan patted his waist. Indeed there were two additional fully loaded ammo clips there.
Initial private soldiers carried 30 bullets. The 1-star private now had up to 90 bullets!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
