Chapter 4: Hospitals.. as long as they're no needles

[No one's POV]
The main survivors plus Misty are seen resting from their zombie fight. The zombie girl herself is very happy, cuddling with Y/n while pressing her "melons" towards his face a bit. Zoey would take a small glance at the two, feeling a bit jealous of the zombie girl getting close to Y/n.

Zoey: *thinking* That zombie really like Y/n a lot. If only that was me doing that with him...

[Start!]
The group got themselves rested and healed as Y/n popped the bar off the door, and opened it slowly, already he could see piles of bodies in pools of blood. Stepping out, guns at the ready, he noticed there were a lot more zombies in the hospital and there weren't very many lights, which cast everything in shadow.

The door opened into the middle of a hallway, to the left there was an EXIT sign and to the right, STAIRS, the hall was lined with operating rooms with patient zombies and nurse zombies and doctors and civilians, even men dressed in maintenance uniforms. Blood splattered the walls, and there were long trails of blood leading to and from operating rooms, in the closest room, a large X-ray screen had three sheets on it, one of a left hand missing it's thumb, and one next to it of said thumb, and the last one was of an elongated neck.

Louis found that one disturbing, it was probably from someone who became infected, he was glad they hadn't run into anything with that strain here.

Louis: Were they saving people, or killing them?

Just before the stairwell was a hallway to the right , they broke off quickly to check for any supplies, Zoey went with Y/n and Misty to check the right and Louis stayed with Bill and Francis on the left.  The three men entered an empty operating room, the room was spotless but it smelled as though something had died in the vents.

Louis: This doesn't smell like a hospital...

Francis: I've smelled worse.

Louis didn't think he wanted to know what smelled worse. They met back in the middle a minute later and continued to the stairs. The stairs led up to the second floor, which started with a much shorter hallway, to the right there was only one door, and to the left led into the main lobby, the door opposite the lobby led to a business room, than a kitchen in behind the lobby, so it seemed the only way to go.

The lobby had a quite a few infected, though not as many as the operating rooms, the doors leading outside were nailed and boarded up, there was a distinct lack of bodies in the lobby, but there was still enough blood to suggest people had been through but had turned into zombies in the area. At the end opposite them, was a staircase leading up to the higher part, of the lobby, the third floor, overlooking where they were. Coughing echoing from up above attracted Louis' attention.

Francis: I hear a Smoker.

No sooner had he spoken when the Smoker screamed and grabbed Francis.

Francis: *struggles* no, No, NO, NOOOOOOOO!

Zoey got down on her knee quickly and sniped the Smoker, dropping Francis from almost the railing. Y/n, Bill and Louis shot the infected for them, standing quickly with a gruff.

Francis: Thanks.

They followed to the other side and up the stairs, checking the rooms at the top. There was nothing but infected and old coffee in the rooms and of course blood and an old abandoned wheel chair. It was still raining outside and the rain poured down through a broken sky light way up above. The hall above the lobby led through a reception like room, with a desk and computer and even a zombie secretary, and after that was the stairs sign right in front of the door.

A lone patient zombie wandered down the hall in front dressed in his hospital gown, until Y/n shot the zombie down before anyone could say anything thing else.

Y/n: Sorry, my friend..

Past the door was a small man-made barricade blocking the rest of the hall, bodies were piled against the wall beside the barricade, they decided against checking down there and headed up the next set of stairs. Next thing they hear is wailing from a certain special infected.

Bill: Witch around here.

Y/n: Thats not good.

The stairs ended at the fourth floor, so that's where they got off, the Witch was much louder at the top. They turned off their flashlights and checked around the door carefully. To the left was blocked by a few desks across the hall, the Witch seemed to be somewhere close. Y/n stepped over the desks carefully; he wanted to know where she was, and if she was in the way.

There were two rooms ahead of a corner, a quick check in each told him she wasn't there, so he took the next step and checked around the corner, still nothing, the last room was a storage room, with a few infected, he shut the door and headed back before they even noticed him.

They continued to the right, past a few intensive care units to another reception room with signs saying Nurse Station, Louis checked behind the main desk and in the rooms behind, Francis came with him, shooting a few infected nurses on their coffee breaks. They went back to the lobby, there flies buzzing around a few bodies on the floor and bugs crawled in the blood around them.

Zoey looked uneasy and was standing next to the doors leading down the hall and probably the Witch. There was a small elevator sign above her pointing down the hall, the part of the building they were in led to the much larger 28 floor part of Mercy Hospital. They went down the hall following the signs and the cries of the Witch. Past more ICU rooms and pools of blood, Louis found it most disturbing when the large trails of blood were polled in the hallway but there was nobody and no infected.

A ways down, the hall split into three different paths, forward, which was barred off with yellow caution tape and led to three more rooms. Left, almost barred with yellow tape, led to a large ICU room lined with beds, the glass frame around the open door was labelled as a Biohazard, the Infected around and inside the room backed that up. They shot out the Infected quickly and looked at the only other option.

To the right, there was a long hall, the elevator sign pointed down there, the wall to the right was lined with bodies and to the left was a large open ICU room barred with yellow Biohazard tape and signs. Zoey snuck ahead to the end of the path straight ahead to check for anything useful.

Zoey: *points to the room on the left; whispers loudly* WITCH!

Y/n heard the soft gasp and warning growl of the Witch as he, Zoey and Misty scurried back ducking under the tape again.

Y/n: So far, so good. 

There was nothing in there worth risking an angry Witch. They continued to the right. Past the pile of bodies was a closed room with glass doors, INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE, IDENTITY: N/A a Biohazard sign on the door warned, inside the smaller room was only body of a patient laying face down in pool of blood.

Almost directly across from that was the only body in the huge ICU room, laying in his own respective blood next to an IV of blood labelled INFECTED. Louis couldn't help but wonder if the Infection in Fairfield had started here. They hurried past those rooms, after that there were two more ICU rooms, one was dark, with an IV next to an empty bed, and was lit up by the X-ray board and the bed and chairs were pushed over against the door.

There was another small barricade, which they climbed over, then the hall split into two, one way was the elevator, right next to them. To the right was barred with tape, there were more bodies behind the tape, and a few more rooms, a quick scan and sweep of the rooms showed the same things, infected lingering next to dishevelled beds, holes in the ceilings, X-rays and doors to other rooms, and there was even one eerily clean, eerily empty room, they left that one alone and hurried back to the elevator.

The wall before the elevator on the right side was piled with bodies, opposite those was a hospital bed with ammo, from Survivors who maybe hadn't made it or had left in a rush.

Y/n: Okay. I'm pretty sure the moment we press the elevator button, the undead fleshbags will be coming. Everyone ready?

Louis nodded, making sure to reload his gun and grab some of the extra ammo.

Francis: I'm with ya!

Bill: Roger that.

Zoey: Yeah..*takes a deep breath* okay.

Louis hit the call button, as soon as the elevator started coming down, even he could hear it, the Infected started coming from everywhere, the walls beside them broke down as zombies poured from either side, Smokers, Boomers and Hunters came screaming leaping with the hordes, everyone was firing in a different direction trying to cover each other at the same time, there were so many more zombies in the hospital than anywhere else and they definitely missed plenty on their way to the elevator. Thudding from above signaled a few zombies dropping from the vent openings up above.

After what seemed like forever the Infected thinned, Louis looked back quickly to check the elevator, it was on the tenth floor, they a second to grab a bit more ammo and reload before more Infected, the ones late to the party came around the corners. Louis shot a Hunter mid jump towards Zoey and Francis took out two Infected on his back. Y/n stabbed a zombie through the head with his military knife and before a zombie can maul his neck from behind, It was bashed in the face by a bat held by Misty and then thrown aside very hard on  a wall.

Y/n: Thanks, Misty

The female Infected gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

Bill shoved a Boomer backwards before shooting it so it was out of range. Somewhere in the chaos, the elevator dinged behind them, opening up.

Bill: Elevator's here! Let's go!

Everyone backed into the elevator as the number of infected dwindled down. Zoey hit the button for the 28th floor and mashed the door close button until the doors clicked shut.

Zoey: You think one day its all just gonna go back to normal?

Y/n: The Infection? Possibly. Not sure about CEDA. Not sure if i could trust them.

Bill: I'll see peace back on Earth if I gotta murder every one of these bastards with my bare goddamn hands.

Louis: That's what I'm talkin' about.

Bill: Damn straight. We been immune so far, but-well, if I start to turn, promise you'll shoot me.

Francis: *Sarcastically* What if just your beard starts to turn? Can I shoot that?

Bill: *Laughs* You are an idiot.

The elevator hit the 28th floor and the doors opened. The entire level was under construction, there were no walls at the edges of the building and most of the interior walls were just metal boards set up for structure, there were a few zombies lingering around on top, a few in blue suits, even some patients and nurses were up there.

Y/n: The saferoom should be close. If I'm right, it should have a hallway with roof access nearby!

They weaved their way through the walls, trying not to get close to the edges, Francis spotted a spray painted sign leading to the safe room, and they headed that way. Louis lost track of the turns, left, straight, right, right, left, right, straight, right, left...It was almost literally a blur, they headed deeper in, more toward the middle of the building to find roof access. Bill seemed to have some idea where to go, so they followed him, taking down what infected they could on the way.

It wasn't long before Louis spotted an orange spray-painted house pointing left, to the safe-room. They hurried to the sign and turning left, could see the safe-room ahead. They made a half-mad dash, hustled in and shut and locked the door behind them. 

[With the Survivors]
They were resting from another Horde they had to fight.

Y/n: *sits on the floor* Just another hour of zombie killing done for now.

Louis: We are almost out of here.

Francis: Good. Finally started to get tired of this hospital.

Bill: That Chopper should still be nearby.

Louis goes to check himself for injuries, Bill lighting up a cigarette, and Francis making sure no zombie flesh is inside his shotgun, Zoey then walked towards Y/n and Misty as she sat next to him.

Zoey: What plans do you have when you escape?

Y/n: Well, I plan to travel across the world. See what else the planet has to offer.

Zoey: Is it alright if I traveled with you?

Y/n:  Really?

Zoey: Yeah. I grew fond of being with you. Plus..I like being around you.

Y/n: It's the same being with you, Zoey.

Zoey smiled as she wrapped herself around Y/n and lays her head on his chest. The young man reached towards her head and ran his hand through it, causing a smile to grow on her face.

Zoey: *hums with a smile; thinks of something* And what about Misty?

Y/n: I like having her around. She's a pretty chill woman that'll have back at times.

Misty hearing this, decided to latch herself onto Y/n's right side as she nuzzled onto him.

Misty: Thanks.

The two women continued to hug Y/n as the young man thinks of what's next.

Y/n: *thinking* I really hope there's a safehaven somewhere in this world.

[End this chapter here. Hope you enjoy]
