Level up Zombie

Chapter 119 The Doctor (Part 2)



A group of around fifty stayed at the hospital. It was quite a large group for the area, but they weren\'t a threatening group. In fact, there had been some cases where other nearby groups had approached the one known as the Doctor and asked him for help.

There would be times when injuries would occur, or there would be those that got incredibly sick and needed treatment; however, there weren\'t many left in the world who knew how to treat wounds and attend to the sick.

When the attack began, the hospitals were rammed with patients, and at first, whatever was being passed on by these zombies had a delayed effect on humans. It would take a while for them to activate, and it was also the reason why the hospitals were some of the most overrun places, filled with zombies.

This meant that most of the doctors and nurses that were working in the hospitals at the time were killed or turned. Even most of the doctors who were having an off day were asked to come in on a busy day, and they, too, had been dealt a bad hand.

However, even though this was the case, it was strange how lacking the city was of those with medical knowledge, and the popular opinion amongst the groups was that the military or police force was rounding up those with medical knowledge and using them to try and find a cure for this thing.

In the end, what this meant though was that Ricky, the Doctor, had become a well-known figure in the nearby groups, and if someone asked him to treat them, then they better have something in return for them.

This was how the group were able to get supplies of weapons and more, and it was why there were those that worked for the Doctor and chose to stay with him. Some felt like it was their best bet to stay in a group with a doctor because they could be treated if anything happened.

The only thing was, only those that actually stayed at the base knew how strange and weird the rules were in the group, and no one outside of the hospital knew why they themselves feared the Doctor that they worked for.

After putting Sky on a hospital bed, the group then started to wheel their friend through the doors. Soon, they reached the director\'s office. Pushing the double door down once again, they walked into a large office space.

There was a single large desk with a chair at the end, and the side was filled with countless books and awards. The back of the office also was made fully of glass, allowing one to look outside at the front of the hospital and out to the street in the distance.

There was a car park and entranceway to the hospital where ambulances would pull up, so the hospital wasn\'t directly on the street.

"Please, you have to help. Sky has been stabbed, the knife was pulled out, and because of that, it won\'t stop bleeding. You can do something, right?" the man requested.

Slowly getting up from his seat, the man was wearing a white robe. He looked to be in his fifties with grey hair here and there and a small white beard. On top of that, he had square-shaped black frame classes. This man was Ricky, the Doctor.

As he got up, he walked towards the group and took a glance at the injured man.

"I heard you did well. You received the items from the care package. Each of you has proved your point.

"I would like to hear more about what exactly happened at one point, but I see we have another matter to take care of."

Walking up, the Doctor inspected the wound even more. He lifted up the shirt so carefully as not to directly touch the wound.

"I have conducted my evolution. With my skills, he will be able to live, but you all know the rules here. With the treatment, there will be a price."

Everyone\'s face sank when they heard these words, and they looked to the ground as if to avoid eye contact with Ricky, and this was what they were dreading. A certain person, in particular, was shaking, but eventually, she spoke out.

"I…I will do whatever you wish in order for treatment." Nay proposed.

The Doctor looked Nay up and down, she was a young woman in her twenties, and she had a good figure. She didn\'t have the face to be a model though, that was for sure, and it was a bit bruised up from the encounters she had been in before.

"Very well. I will proceed with the treatment for now, and the rest of you can leave. As for you, Nay, you can stay in my office, and I will collect treatment from you later."

Pushing the bed with Sky on it, the doctor was going to get to work. The others felt guilty, but with everything done, all they could do was leave the place and leave it all to Nay.

In a way, they were thankful that they weren\'t the ones paying the price because they had no clue what they would have to even offer the Doctor.

——

An hour or so later, outside the hospital building, two people arrived at the entrance. The guards on the outside could see this but saw them as no threat, as there was a tired woman holding onto what looked like a teenage boy.

"Please, is there a doctor inside?!" the woman asked. "I need help, he\'s had a fever for a while now, and he keeps getting hotter; his body is burning up. We need help."

The two looked at each other and nodded towards the other for one of them to head inside.

"Just wait here for a moment." The man said.

While waiting, the woman was anxious and looked at the teenager.

\'You have helped me so many times, I promise I will be here for you, I will help you as well. So please, Cody, pull through, and I know you can get through this!\'
