XG 91 - The 7th floor

The elevator was no go, so the team went straight to the fifth floor using the emergency staircase. No zombies could be seen and they safely arrived on the fifth floor.

Other than two zombies locked inside the medicine pickup area, they easily arrive at their destination with no trouble.

Their group members each have their own backpacks and they assume the hospital will be packed full of zombies so they brought more weapons and their simple version of the first aid box.

As for storage to store the medicines, thinking they will use up at least half of their bullets from their backpack, there should be enough space to store the medicines. But in reality, they had not even emptied the first round of bullets.

Their backpack was still full!

"Beom Seok, how's the situation at your other end?" Kang Xunsu communicated through the walkie-talkie.

"Engaging!" The word was accompanied by fierce growling sounds of shooting.

"Tsk, their backpack will be lighter than ours," Kang Xunsu grumbled. He did not bother Beom Seok any further.

"If only Yuna is with us," Wong Xue Guo lamented. It was tested that Yuna's crayon-like figures could act as storage but its space was limited to 100 kg per crayon-like figure but the dog crayon was only limited to 50 kg. They were unsure how that number came up as it does not match the 'body figure' estimated weight, even in their normal human self.

Even with this walking storage box, Yuna was unwilling to cooperate with the researcher for long, just like a child with a short attention span and thus they were unable to correctly determine her full potential. Any ideas to force Yuna to cooperate in a rather harsher means were stopped by the directors.

To keep the base coordinated and trusted by people, they must not ever cross the line between dedication to their goal and sacrificing humanity for their goal.

"We just have to find something else to carry the medicines. Move quickly and we can help Team B faster," Chen Yibo said.

"Pick out what we need, place them in a box first. Put it aside and we will return for them when we are ready to leave," Kang Xunsu ordered.

"What if we had no time to return for the medicine?" Wong Xue Guo questioned. It would not be unreasonable to assume things would get heated up later and they would need to step closer to the afterlife just to get out of this hospital alive.

"We will see when that time comes. In the worst-case scenario, we will just wait for the next trip to pick them up."

"Our lives come first," Vihaan insisted and no one disagreed.

"Vihaan, break down the door," Kang Xunsu said and readied his aim.

Wong Xue Guo knew Vihaan's ability, but this was the first time she saw his ability. With a touch of his palm, the door crumbled away like ashes. It was even quicker than when the fire was burning papers. He only needed to pull his hand away and the crumpling immediately stopped.

No one was inside the room.

Other than Choi Yerim that immediately went to read the bottle labels, they choose boxes or bags that have handles to hold so that their hands would be free. It was also important to consider the bag would not spill its contents from rough movement.
