Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 227 Dilemma
"It's good that you're alright!" Ouyang pulled the travel bag to his side, wanting to replenish some ammunition, but found that there was only one magazine left in the bag.

He smacked his lips, gaining a new understanding of the intensity of the confrontation he had just witnessed.

Ou Yang's toothache returned, and he reluctantly left the magazine to Jiang Yuwei. He then retrieved an unidentifiable shotgun and over thirty rounds of 12-gauge shotgun shells from the enemy's corpse.

It's a pity it's not AA12.

He didn't know much about shotguns; the one he was most familiar with was the AA12, but only in games.

I also found two AR-series magazines, which was a pleasant surprise.

Although he didn't get much, he felt quite accomplished. Ouyang happily went into the next room, piled up flammable items like bedding and curtains in the hallway, and set them on fire without hesitation.

Well, that way there's no need to worry about security behind him. As for whether the hospital will burn down... hehe, what does that have to do with him?
Even if he were killed, the gunman would have set the fire, and he would have nothing to do with it.

Before the fire even started, Ou Yang immediately returned to the ward and waved his hand outside: "Let's go!"

His posture was full of bravado, but once he stepped out of the ward, it was a completely different story.

Hospital beds are usually taken by elevator, but now some bastard has cut off the power, so they have to take the stairs.

“Lift it!” Ou Yang said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Yuwei nearly stumbled and fell down the stairs: "Lift? How could you even think of that? Do you know how heavy this bed is?"

Ou Yang genuinely didn't know and asked in surprise, "How heavy?"

Jiang Yuwei held up two fingers: "Over two hundred kilograms!"

I go!

Ou Yang was startled. This thing was so heavy? Add Zhu Yiming's weight, it must be close to 300 kilograms! Who the hell could lift this?

Zhu Yiming said weakly, "Help me down, I can walk by myself!"

The chaotic battle just now left me drenched in sweat, but my fever has subsided and I'm much more alert now.

Ou Yang knew this wasn't the time to hesitate, so he bent down to give Zhu Yiming a princess carry: "Sister Wei, I'm counting on you!"

If the injury were in another location, I could carry it on my shoulder, but since it's in my abdomen, I can't carry it at all; I can only carry it in my arms.

Jiang Yuwei was filled with trepidation, but she gritted her teeth and nodded.

I'm feeling a bit panicked about being promoted to a main force role, what should I do?
Zhu Yiming refused without hesitation: "No, no!"

He could tolerate being carried in a princess carry, but Ouyang was the team's absolute main force. Carrying him would reduce the team's fighting strength by more than half, and if an accident occurred, they wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

Aunt Susan suddenly said, "There are wheelchairs in the storage room, would you like one?"

The three people were communicating in Mandarin, which she couldn't understand at all. But she wasn't stupid; she could tell that these Asians were having a headache over how to get downstairs.

The argument stopped instantly, and Ouyang asked in surprise and delight, "Where's the wheelchair?"

Aunt Susan pointed to the end of the corridor: "I'll go get it!"

A moment later, Aunt Susan brought over a lightweight folding wheelchair, and Ou Yang carefully placed Zhu Yiming on it.

Zhu Yiming was covered in cold sweat and groaned in pain, but he kept clenching his teeth and refused to make a sound.

Since the wheelchair couldn't be pushed directly downstairs, Ou Yang didn't hesitate and pushed it backwards down the stairs, quickly reaching the second floor.

Jiang Yuwei stood guard with her gun, while Ou Yang continued downstairs, and the group successfully reached the first floor.

The moment the wheelchair left the stairs, Ouyang immediately released it and picked up his rifle again.

A fine layer of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, not from exhaustion, but from the tension of not having a gun in his hand.

"Where is the pharmacy?" Ou Yang asked.

"This way!" Aunt Susan offered to push the wheelchair and led the group to the pharmacy.

Before even reaching the location, Ou Yang saw several corpses lying outside the pharmacy. Upon closer inspection, he saw dozens of bullet holes of varying sizes scattered across the half-open door.

He ducked behind the wall, used the muzzle of his gun to push open the rickety door, and found several more corpses inside. The glass doors of several medicine cabinets were pierced by bullets, and many of the medicines were damaged.

Many medicines on the shelves that do not require refrigeration also suffer losses.

The group quickly entered the pharmacy.
Ouyang hid by the door, keeping a close eye on the situation outside: "Bring everything you can use, the more the better!"

The hospital is in such a terrible state, and he even set it on fire; it's definitely not a place to stay.

Moreover, after such an incident, other hospitals and clinics are unlikely to take in these jinxes, and the three of them cannot obtain more medical resources in Kamed, so they must get enough medicine.

As for Jiang Yuwei's skill level... well, let's just try anything!

"Got it!" Jiang Yuwei opened her backpack, emptied everything out, took out her phone for light, and rummaged through the pharmacy, stuffing suitable medicines into her backpack.

I need everything: fever reducers, anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, and a lot of other commonly used medications as well.

Jiang Yuwei was well aware of her situation and chose oral medications, but considering Zhu Yiming's condition, she also took some syringes and injections.

In no time, her backpack was full, but she still felt it wasn't enough, so she simply found a cardboard box, packed the medicines that couldn't fit inside, and put them in Zhu Yiming's arms.

Even Aunt Susan was completely taken care of by Jiang Yuwei, with several bags hanging on her body.

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!

Jiang Yuwei continued deeper and deeper, gradually approaching a dark corner. Suddenly, a light flashed, illuminating a human face.

The man gave an awkward, pleading smile, intending to offer a friendly greeting. However, the old man was tall and burly, at least a head taller than Jiang Yuwei. The light shone from below, revealing two rows of floating teeth and a blurry human face.

A face suddenly appeared out of the darkness, startling Jiang Yuwei who was completely unprepared. She screamed and dropped her phone.

The man quickly made a gesture to indicate that he was not in danger, but it was too late.

Ouyang charged forward like a rabbit shot by an arrow, raising his rifle to fire.

He had already unleashed a murderous aura, and at this moment, without even thinking, he instinctively wanted to fire.

The man quickly raised his hands to indicate that he was not a threat: "Hehe, don't be impulsive, I'm not a threat!"

Ouyang's finger rose just before he pulled the trigger: "Who are you?"

"A nobody!" the man answered honestly.

Still shaken, Jiang Yuwei picked up her phone and illuminated Lao Mi's face.

He was a dark-skinned man in his early twenties. His dark complexion blended perfectly with the surrounding darkness, and if the light hadn't shone directly on his face, it would have been impossible to see him hiding in the corner.

Ou Yang mentally cursed, "What the hell is this innate hidden holy body?"
Old Hei, driven by a strong will to survive, confirmed that the people in front of him were the Easterners being hunted by all the underground forces, and immediately said, "I pose no threat to you!"

Jiang Yuwei finally calmed down after confirming that the old black man in front of her was a human and not a ghost, but she was still not very at ease, so she instinctively stood behind Ou Yang.

Ouyang didn't believe Lao Hei's excuses at all: "Then why did you come here!"

"I'm just an unlucky guy who was forced to come here!" Old Black tried his best to explain, "They gave me way too much."

"Who gave too much?"

"I don't know, I only know someone has put a bounty on your heads," Old Hei said. Given that the group had been inside the pharmacy for some time and Old Hei, who had been hiding in the shadows, hadn't made a move, Ou Yang felt he wasn't lying. However, he didn't want to gamble with his own safety, so he kept his gun pointed at him: "Sister Wei, are all the medicines ready?"

"That's about it," Jiang Yuwei said.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Yuwei immediately slung her backpack over her shoulder, grabbed her rifle, and aimed it at Lao Hei with a fierce look in her eyes.

Old Hei's heart leaped into his throat: "Hey, I didn't mean to scare you!"

"Shut up!" Jiang Yuwei snapped fiercely.

Ou Yang turned around and left the pharmacy first, followed by Aunt Susan in her wheelchair, while Jiang Yuwei walked away backwards.

Only after the group was out of sight did Lao Hei breathe a long sigh of relief. He hesitated about whether to change the hiding place of the switch, but after thinking it over, he decided to continue hiding here.

Ouyang originally planned to leave the hospital immediately after escaping danger, but Lao Hei's words made him change his mind and lead everyone into the emergency room.

Aunt Susan asked, a little puzzled, "Why aren't you going out?"

“We’re not going out for now!” Ou Yang replied casually, seamlessly switching to Mandarin. “You all heard what Lao Hei said, right?”

Jiang Yuwei nodded, and Zhu Yiming weakly replied, "I heard you."

Ouyang said angrily, "We can leave now, but Lao Hei said someone has put a bounty on our lives. I'm worried about something happening if we just go out like this."

"What should we do then? We can't just stay here forever, can we?" Jiang Yuwei asked worriedly. "You've already set it on fire!"

Ou Yang was also a bit troubled, but there was no going back: "I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just afraid that there might be corrupt cops among those officers outside. What if a corrupt cop shoots us? Where can we go to seek justice?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Jiang Yuwei asked.

"If only I had known." Ou Yang was in a state of confusion, scratching his head in frustration.

He has already made several appearances without incident, so there shouldn't be any danger in leaving.

But when he took the gun, there were only a few police officers around.

Although it hasn't been long since he returned to the hospital, the sound of sirens has never stopped, and more and more police officers are arriving, threatening to completely surround the entire hospital.

There might not have been corrupt police officers back then, but it's hard to say whether there are any now.

Jiang Yuwei wanted to say that we can't just hide, but she felt that saying that would be encouraging Ou Yang to take risks, so she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm a woman, I'll go out first!"

"Stop messing around!" Ou Yang refused to listen at all. "Old Mi doesn't care if you're a woman or not!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Jiang Yuwei passed the buck back to Jiang Yuwei.

Ouyang breathed heavily, desperately suppressing his unease: "First of all, no matter what the truth is, Kamed definitely can't stay here. We must leave as soon as possible!"

This godforsaken place looks peaceful and stable, but in reality, it's not like that at all; it even makes him feel like he's trapped in a den of dragons and tigers.

"Why don't we call Luo Hui and ask him?" Jiang Yuwei suggested.

Ouyang nodded helplessly: "That's the only way!"

Although Luo Hui solved the identity problem for the three of them, the embassy was far from the emperor's reach. If the local forces were determined to harm them, even if Luo Hui flattened the Mi Palace, he wouldn't be able to solve the problem.

Let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
Ou Yang took out his phone and was about to dial a number when a gunshot suddenly rang out in the distance.

It happened suddenly and in quick succession.

The finger that was about to tap the screen stopped.

Ou Yang turned his head curiously: "What happened now?"

He and Jiang Yuwei both looked at Aunt Susan, while only Zhu Yiming's gaze was fixed on the window.

Unfortunately, it was all darkness, and nothing could be seen.

Aunt Susan was completely bewildered: "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Ouyang pointed in the direction from which the gunshots came: "What place is that?"

Aunt Susan said uncertainly, "It looks like the town government office, or maybe the police station..."

Ou Yang frowned: "Are there any other important departments in that direction?"

“There are many. That’s the direction of the city center. Banks, water supply, food warehouses—most of the important departments are in that direction!” said Aunt Susan.

Ou Yang was about to ask more questions when he suddenly noticed that the police officers surrounding the hospital seemed to be getting agitated.

At first it wasn't very obvious, but he quickly confirmed his judgment: some officers suddenly abandoned their posts, rushed into police cars like lightning, sirens blared again, and sped away from the hospital.

Judging from the direction they left, they were heading towards the city center.

Ou Yang was certain that something had happened, but he had no clue what it was and couldn't determine what had happened.

Moments later, more officers boarded the vehicles and left. This time, even more officers left, and in the blink of an eye, only a few police cars and twenty or thirty officers remained.

Among them was the chubby police officer.

Ou Yang licked his lips: "I'm going out to check. You guys wait for my news!"

He originally wanted to say, "The three of us can't all die here," but then he thought it was unlucky and swallowed his words.

Jiang Yuwei quickly stopped her: "No..."

Ou Yang waved his hand to stop him: "I'm the most suitable one. Don't worry, I'm confident!"

Zhu Yiming's face was flushed, and although his voice was weak, his momentum was in no way weak: "What confidence do you have?!"

Jiang Yuwei's expression was resolute: "We'll go together, we'll stay together, we'll die together!"

Ou Yang thought to himself, "At times like this, you shouldn't use parallel structures!"

He pressed down hard on Jiang Yuwei's shoulder: "It's settled then!"

Without giving Jiang Yuwei a chance, he turned and rushed out of the emergency room, shouting in English, "Grab her!"

"Ouyang—" Jiang Yuwei shouted anxiously, raising her leg to chase after him, but was grabbed by the arm by Aunt Susan.

"Let go, let go!" Jiang Yuwei cried out anxiously.

Aunt Susan knew that Ou Yangcai was the backbone of a small group, and she was unsure of whose side to listen to when Zhu Yiming weakly raised his MP7: "Let go!"

Aunt Susan immediately raised her hands.

Jiang Yuwei took off running and rushed out, while Zhu Yiming nearly collapsed: "Hey, hey, where's I?!"

The voice wasn't loud, and Jiang Yuwei didn't hear it at all, but she knew it was Zhu Yiming speaking, so she quickly ran back, pushed Zhu Yiming along, and ran outside.

Emotionally, the trio had supported each other all the way and had even gone through life and death together. Jiang Yuwei couldn't just hide in a safe corner and watch Ou Yang die.

Logically speaking, Ouyang was the group's main fighter. Without Ouyang, a woman and a seriously wounded soldier would have no chance of surviving in this ruthless place.
