Kingdom of Corrosion

Although there wasn’t a biochemist in the team to treat infections, the Shadow’s resources were still abundant. Everyone carried several serum syringes, and Maya’s backpack contained about ten more substandard serum syringes.

After more than an hour of battle, the first floor was mostly cleared of zombies. Cotton ventured alone into the first floor, cautiously searching for any hidden zombies, while the others moved up to the second floor.

At this time, there was good news. The system indicated that Maya couldn’t take over the clinic without zombies nearby, suggesting that the clinic wasn’t an independent unit. Of course, there was another possibility that Leimeng Town didn’t allow players to take control.

As the zombies on the second floor were dragged down the stairs by Lin Wu’s team, the number of zombies in the commercial street was dropping rapidly. Everything was going according to plan when suddenly a mishap occurred.

There was a long corridor on the first floor, with the back doors of various shops on one side. On the other side were the restrooms, a water fountain, a smoking area, and a back door. The staircase was closest to two narrow shops.

Cotton first cleared the western room, then turned to clear the eastern shop and smoking area, and finally entered the restroom. The hidden zombies were primarily intended to scare. With a pistol in hand, Cotton looked down and saw the feet of a zombie in the stall, pushed the door open, and to her utter surprise, her pistol jammed.

Cotton glanced at her pistol out of habit, then was tackled to the ground by the zombie. She immediately called for help, "Need assistance, right now." This was because another zombie hidden in a different stall joined the fight upon hearing the noise.

Lin Wu was in the process of taking down ten zombies down the stairs when Maya just said, "Lin Wu, stop pulling," and saw Lin Wu coming down the stairs with the ten zombies.
