Chapter 60 - 56 /Part 1
"It seems that there haven't been any living people or infected individuals here for a long time."
In the lobby of the hospital outpatient department, the floor tiles, once smooth as mirrors, were now covered with thick layers of dust. The ground was littered with dried bloodstains, barely visible, along with scattered pamphlets and various medical equipment.
Looking at this scene, one could imagine the chaos that must have ensued during the Cordyceps outbreak.
Corbett crouched down, running his fingers through the dust on the ground, rubbing it between his fingers. He surveyed the lobby, devoid of any footprints, and made his assessment.
Around him stood two dozen heavily armed soldiers, their guns aimed at the blind spots and corners, ready for any potential appearance of infected individuals.
One of the soldiers, a sergeant, stood behind Corbett and asked softly, "So, sir, what do we do next?"
"Hmm..."
Upon hearing the soldier's inquiry, Corbett slowly stood up, supporting his chin, pondering for a moment. He decided it was best to explore the area thoroughly before making any decisions.
"I just observed from outside. The outpatient department consists of the ground floor, minus one level, and the underground parking lot. Assign each person to a small team, with each team responsible for two levels. Remember to bring gas masks when entering the underground parking lot. We'll search every inch of this place."
