Kingdom of Corrosion

The fully enclosed footbridge was made of a transparent plastic similar to acrylic, so there was no need for a hacksaw. However, after eliminating a few zombies on the footbridge, they found that there was a large number of zombies on the fourth floor of the hospital ward at the other end of the footbridge. The nearest zombie was about 17 meters away from the head of the bridge.

Prising open the window glass was not a big problem, and the length of the cloth strips was also fine. The most difficult part was transporting Blood Meng. First, Dawn and Lin Wu had to go down one by one to ensure the safety below. Lin Wu, accustomed to being the first to charge and the last to retreat, naturally went down first.

Lin Wu climbed over the windowsill and said to Lin Meng, "If you can’t make it, just jump down, and don’t scream during the process."

After saying this, Lin Wu descended along the cloth strip rope, which was effortless for him. Lin Wu walked 20 meters along the road and reached the emergency room, fetching a trolley. Xiao Wu was planning to come down and help, but Lin Wu asked him to stay up to prevent the need to retrieve Xiao Jing’s body later. In the time they were away, three zombies had already entered the area of the emergency room.

The good news was that Xiao Jing turned out to be a medical student, a freshman who needed eight years to study medicine, and had been enrolled for half a year. Although Dawn was strong, she had no surgical experience, not even knowing how to insert a needle. It wasn’t that she wasn’t capable, but on Blue Star, drips weren’t commonly used.

At this moment, they were busy on the footbridge. Dawn securely tied Blood Meng with two cloth strips, and Lin Meng and she each held one end of the ropes to lower down. As Lin Wu looked up at them, several drops of rain hit his face. Clearly, the heavy rain mentioned in the broadcast was about to arrive earlier than expected.

The process of lowering the rope was not smooth; the cloth strip rope had knots and was prone to getting stuck on the window frame. They had to lift the knots with one hand and pull the rope with minor adjustments with the other. Blood Meng’s situation was not promising; maybe she could have hung on for another few days without this ordeal, but with it, she had already slipped into a state of semi-consciousness.

Lin Wu caught Blood Meng and placed her on the trolley, untied the ropes, and gestured upwards; the ropes were pulled back up and resecured. Lin Meng grabbed the rope and left the window frame. That’s when the trouble started. Lin Meng had doubts about rappelling, but seeing Lin Wu do it so effortlessly, she figured she wouldn’t have too much trouble.

However, as a newcomer with very poor physical strength, Lin Meng found she couldn’t alternate her hands to descend; she could only cling tightly to the rope.

The height of the hospital’s floors, especially the 1st and 2nd, was quite high. Lin Meng now hung 12 meters high, unable to climb up or descend. Dawn and Lin Wu expected problems might occur with Blood Meng, but they didn’t expect Lin Meng to be the issue, leaving them momentarily dumbfounded.
