Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Survival of the fittest
Zhou Hongbei looked at the milk powder scattered all over the floor and knew what was going on. He turned around and rounded on the survivors: “Did you really do this? You actually snatch the food from babies? Have you all lost your minds!?”

He was enraged when he thought about how these people were simply crossing all boundaries. This was the last bit of milk powder that they had in the inventory, and these people snatched away the last bit of it. When Zhou Hongbei thought about how the children and the babies spent an entire night starving, he felt as if his heart was burning.

The children would still be in better condition but what about the babies?

He glared at the survivors, who shrunk their necks until the middle-aged woman spoke up, “What are we supposed to do? This is a dog-eat-dog world. The strong will survive while the weak will perish.”

“Are you seriously fighting with babies!” Zhou Hongbei shouted angrily. He pinched his brows and then said to Shen Zhen, “Hurry, bring the milk powder to the babies and the children in the incubator room.” they must be starving at this point!

These shameless people!

When Shen Zhen heard his words, she realized that there was something wrong with the milk powder stocked in the inventory and after seeing the twenty survivors, she was more or less clear about the situation. Her face was filled with disgust but she ignored the desire to scold these people and rushed towards the incubator room.

The two nurses were also stunned when they heard Zhou Hongbei’s words but then their eyes lit up and they hugged one another. It seemed like the babies were saved!

Shen Zhen ran to the incubator room and knocked on the door in a hurry. “Doctor Cui! Doctor Cui! Open the door; I am here to deliver the milk powder. I brought the milk powder from the mall.”

“I also brought something to eat with me.”

Bai Meiyue and the rest followed Shen Zhen, leaving the survivors behind them but these twenty or so people didn’t want to let them go. Thus, after looking around, they were sure that there were no zombies and chased after the team.

On the other side, as soon as Shen Zhen banged on the surface of the door, a thin and highly emaciated man stepped out. He stiffened when he saw so many people following Shen Zhen.

However, as he looked around, he only found a stethoscope hanging around his neck. However, from his stance, it was clear that he was willing to fight them if it came to it.

“Relax, Doctor Cui.” Realizing that the man was stiff because of the presence of so many people behind her, Shen Zhen said to him, “Don’t worry. These people are with me; they are all good people. They helped us in returning to the hospital.”

Only then did the man sigh. Doctor Cui then said to Shen Zhen, “Come here and put on the sterile clothing and shoes.”

He then turned around and walked inside.

Shen Zhen turned to look at the rest of the team and said to them with some embarrassment, “I am sorry; he is a bit antisocial, but don’t take it to heart. He is like this with everyone.”

Bai Meiyue waved her hand dismissively while Jiang Haidai said, “It’s alright; there is no need to apologize.”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “You all can also change your shoes and put on the sterile suit. We cannot enter the incubator room without sterilizing our clothing and shoes.”

After speaking she took out the white suit and put it on, followed by the shoes, putting down the dirty bag that she was carrying on her back on the floor and taking out the bottles of milk powder.

“Doctor Cui, is everything alright?” Zhou Hongbei stepped forward and looked inside the incubator room through the window and looked at the children, who were crying pitifully. “Is something wrong with the babies?”

“What can be wrong other than not getting enough to eat?” Doctor Cui answered with a sigh. “Babies need to eat every four hours or so; this is something that we all know but…” He paused and raised his head to look at the survivors before stating in a cold voice, “But these people ate all the milk powder, leaving these babies to suffer. What can be done in such a situation?”

The doctor and nurses hadn’t eaten anything for weeks, and they were surviving on the little water stored in the water tank in the incubator room. Not to mention their strength wasn’t as strong as these survivors who didn’t run around every day and their number was also high.

Because of this, they were beaten up by these people, leaving these babies to suffer.

There was nothing that they could do at this point; in this dog-eat-dog world, only those who had the strength could stand tall in the end. Thus, even though these people stole the food of babies, what could they do to them? Could they stop them and tell them that what they were doing was wrong?

In these times, what was right and what was wrong?

When Zhou Hongbei heard Doctor Cui’s response, he wheeled around and looked at the survivors angrily. He was filled with resentment when he thought about how these people actually attacked babies just because they couldn’t deal with the zombies.

Shameless!

Maybe it was because Zhou Hongbei’s gaze was so intense that the survivors felt a bit terrified. They stepped back and tried to hide behind Lei Qian and the rest. However, there was no regret in their eyes; the young man, along with the rest, thought that they were not in the wrong.

An old man who was pushed to the back shouted angrily, “Why are you glaring at us like we did something wrong, eh? Look at us. If the babies need to eat, don’t we elderly need to eat as well? Have you thrown away all the virtues and teachings that were taught to you? You guys are being too much. I wonder how you were taught.”
