Chapter 73: At last! The Medical Ward! (1/2)

Calvin's cold words permeated the air.

Jannette stood frozen and so did the others.

This was the first time that they saw such a serious expression on his face.

”A-All right... Suit yourself!” Jannette coldly snorted and turned around.

She walked towards the door but didn't go out of it. It was clear that as much as she wanted to get out of this place, she wasn't planning on straying from the group. After all, no man was an island and the strength of individuals could only be maximized if they were in a group.

Calvin made a mental note to keep an eye out for Jannette.

Judging from her actions, she may be on the brink of falling into madness.

If she despaired and went crazy while they were in the middle of escaping from the enemies, then that would be fatal for the entire team.

Jannette had to be controlled the moment she went out of control.

Calvin gave a simple prayer to the deceased before covering their bodies with a blanket.

Jane proposed to bring the bodies of the dead back to the outside world but Calvin refused, saying that it was extra work that could potentially kill them.

Jane bit her lips and thought that this final phase that the company gave to them was indeed too cruel. Not only they sent them in this nightmare of a place to die, but they weren't even allowed to bring the corpses of the dead with them when they came out.

Hugo could only shake his head.

Calvin swept his gaze at the others, particularly at Jannette.

Noticing that everyone had calmed down.

He said...

”It's time... We've been here for so long already. We need to escape. I reckon that if we stay here for too long, those bastards from Fivecent may push us out of our hiding place.”

”What do you mean?” Calvin's words intrigued Hugo.

”I'm saying that Fivecent may deliberately guide those patients to us so that we are forced to move!”

”What?” Jannette was startled, ”In that case, we should go now! Let's go! What are you waiting for? They are already dead! No amount of prayers will bring them back alive!”

Calvin furrowed his eyebrows, ”I know...”

He urged the others and the group arrived at the familiar corridors once more.

Calvin took out the small notebook that he had and he discovered their current location in a few moments.

According to the map, they were only a few corridors before they reached the Medical Ward.

Urging the others, the group continued their slow journey to the Medical Ward.

This time, Hugo stood on the back lines, while Calvin did the scouting ahead.

They stuck close to the doors of the sickrooms so they could instantly hide in the empty rooms if something went awry.

Of course, they avoided the slightly ajar doors, afraid that someone may be lurking behind those doors that would grab them the moment that they made an approach.

Those mental patients were unpredictable after all.

Speaking of mental patients, Calvin's group only encountered a single one, yet from Jannette's accounts.

She said that they had encountered dozens of patients and that was the reason why they were easily defeated.

In fact, for her, she was quite lucky for she managed to hide in a nearby sickroom before all hell went loose. As for the others, they didn't even manage to run far before they were caught by the patients excited by the sight of fresh meat.

At that time, Jannette did her best to stifle her cries but she was ultimately discovered by the patients.
