Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle - Chapter 656

Chapter 656: The Medical Hall
In the meantime, still within Eclipse Domain…

The Rear Medical Hall was also busy…

“That must be Victor and Adrian’s sculpture taking effect. I wonder what it looked like.” Anna muttered. Although she wasn’t seeing the sculpture or the monument the two had created, she was still affected by its effects since she was within the Shelter’s jurisdiction.

In any case, her Medical Hall was also quite busy despite being at the rear line.

It was a place hidden behind thick walls of reinforced stone and barriers to ensure that all critically injured or even those infected by the virus would have the safest and best treatment possible. Inside this building, long surgeries, delicate treatments, and even dangerous patients were being helped by the physicians, nurses, and other medical staff under Anna’s control.

At this time, Anna, clad in her Alchemist Set that she had obtained from Shane, knelt beside her latest patient…

It was composed of Circlet, Coat, Gloves, Trousers, and Boots.

Because of this Set of Items, Anna had always been the best Alchemist working under Shane. Furthermore, it even had a set bonus!

[ Set Bonus – Alchemist’s Eminence ( 4-Piece Bonus )

Set Effect: +25% Healing Potency, +20 Alchemy Mastery, Restores 5% Spirit Points every 10 seconds while standing still. ]

The patient was one of the recruits from the groups of Scavengers who had migrated to their shelter… He was a young defender with a bite mark and necrosis starting to spread…

Previously, this type of injury could 100% lead to becoming a Zombie and of course, certain death. However, with their various advancements and discoveries, it was different now…

Anna assessed the situation carefully with her hair tied into a tight braid to keep it off her face. She was calm despite the situation of the man…

“Apply pressure here…” She instructed the junior medic, placing the young man’s trembling hands over the wound.

Her voice was soothing and many patients couldn’t help but fall for her whenever they were being treated by her…

Of course, the patients looked to her not just for healing, but for reassurance…

Then, after confirming the young man’s situation, she reached for a silver case secured by a special lock. Soon, she infused a bit of her Spiritual Energy into the case and it opened to reveal 24 vials of glowing azure liquid.

They were the Anti-Zombie Serum.

It had taken Shane a lot of time to obtain these things… Of course, there weren’t a lot of them before, but Anna took charge of studying them and created more…

She had overseen the alchemical synthesis herself. She even managed to replicate the vaccine without using the same materials that the original researchers used.

Instead, she used samples harvested from neutralized Zombie Lords, rare elixirs brought by roaming merchants drawn to the statue, and ingredients extracted from various resources.

There wasn’t much, but what they had was enough to change lives.

“This will save him?” The assistant beside her asked. It was her first time seeing someone get treated for being infected.

“Yes… The Virus didn’t reach his brain yet. He should be fine.” Anna nodded.

“I see… And there won’t be any side effects?”

Anna wryly smiled at this question.

“Well, it’s not just a cure. It’ll make him stronger—temporarily unstable, but stronger.”

She didn’t mention the complete side effects. The moment the vaccine entered the bloodstream, it rewrote some of the body’s internal thresholds, boosting Strength by 20–30 points depending on the person’s constitution.

That might not seem like much to an Elite fighter, but for a kitchen assistant turned spearman? That was enough to accidentally shatter a wall with a punch or crack their own bones in a reflexive motion.

There must be some rehabilitation after using this Serum.

Anna prepared the injection carefully, using a stabilized syringe crafted by Eclipse Domain’s engineers. As she pushed the vial’s contents into the wounded man’s veins, she also whispered a prayer—not to a god, but to survival.

Ughh~

Suddenly, the boy’s back arched, and his veins started bulging up beneath his skin, and it was followed by a muffled cry…

This wasn’t a painless solution after all…

Soon, the young man’s limbs twitched, and for a moment Anna held his hand tightly, keeping him grounded.

“His name’s Terin,” One of the medics said softly. It seemed that she actually knew him personally.

“Then stay by him until he stabilizes. It’ll pass,” Anna said, comforting her before she stood up.
