Rebirth of MC Chpt 102 - 202 (unedited translations)

Chapter 102: Another way out

The uppermost level of the hospital is the most important place of the entire building. Ordinary patients would definitely not be allowed entry into this floor. Hence, the zombies roaming around this area are evidently victims trying to escape the undead by running all the way up here, but ultimately falling to the transformation.

After the trio reach the twentieth storey, Huo Zaiyuan immediately begin to lay arrays on the top of the stairs and in every corridor they pass through. For some reason, the longer they spend in this place, the more agitated his heart becomes, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"Move a little faster. The medicine storeroom is over there." Long Zhanye stops before a closed room with the words "Medicine Storage" written on the door below the sign used to indicate the presence of important items within.

As expected, the door is locked and none of them had any idea where the key for it is located. Therefore, Long Zhanye picks the simplest method of shooting the electronic lock. Once it is reduced to scrap metal, the door naturally comes ajar.

Pushing the door open cautiously, they are greeted with the usual smell of disinfectant. What makes them frown is the strong odour of rotten meat that wafts over.

"This stench, there may be zombies within. Be careful."

Pistol in hand, Long Zhanye slowly treads into the room. Behind, Huo Zaiyuan closes the door soundlessly.

The interior of the medicine storage room is very dark. With a high possibility of mortal danger lurking behind or between the shelves of medicine, none of them dare to let down their guards for even a split-second. Inching their way to the centre of the room, they are treated to a rather sorrowful sight.

The rotting corpse or a female nurse is sprawled on the ground, unseeing eyes opened wide, an expression of terror frozen on her face, white foam filling her mouth and trails of dried white substance staining her chin...an empty glass bottle lays on its side next to the body. Evidently, she drank this bottle of medication and committed suicide.

"This nurse was probably on night shift in this hospital when the zombies woke and overran this hospital. She ran and hid in here, eventually taking her own life." Nudging the glass bottle with a foot, Long Zhanye squints down to read the label before speaking again. "Quickly find everything we need, then let's leave."

"Yeah." Zhou Xingfeng nods distractedly, then walks over to the back of the room, where he caught a glimpse of the freezer just now.

Removing the slip of paper Qin Jun handed over before they came here, Long Zhanye raise an eyebrow at Huo Zaiyuan. Coming to a tacit understanding, Huo Zaiyuan dips his head curtly. They will separate for a little while to search for the medications Qin Jun wrote down.

After Long Zhanye wanders off, Huo Zaiyuan gazes down at the woman's body. A flick of his wrist and a peach wood tile appears. Igniting the talisman, he whispers. "You have no need to fear anymore. Peacefully go to where you ought to be." With that, he drops the burning tile onto the corpse.

When the flames disappear together with the body, a sphere of silver light wafts upwards, gradually forming into a transparent silhouette. The female nurse offers Huo Zaiyuan a grateful smile then slowly dissipates.

With the disappearance of the corpse, the rotten stench hanging in the air also mysteriously vanishes. Satisfied, Huo Zaiyuan begins his search for medicines. Chancing upon the section for traditional medicines, he sends everything into his space. Next is a shelf with piles of tools necessary to perform a safe injection as well as glass bottles of intravenous fluids[1]. Those are also cleared off the shelves before he goes off to look for Long Zhanye. The soldier's speed is also pretty fast, having already found every medication on Qin Jun's list. Under his directions, Huo Zaiyuan drops everything into the space. That done, the pair reunites with Zhou Xingfeng.
