Shawn had no intention of humoring this middle-aged leader and simply turned to leave.
Dawn actually held no real power in the Hospital; her authority only extended to the laborers and medical staff.
For the other officers, Dawn's decisions were only followed if they found them satisfactory.
Conversely, no one would heed Dawn's orders.
If Diana of Alexandria, as a person in power, couldn't be ranked among the top from a post-apocalyptic perspective,
then Dawn, as a person in power, was even worse than Diana. Dawn was completely a puppet, thoroughly hollowed out, a total failure.
She clearly couldn't control it, but she was still reluctant to give up her position, so she could only serve as the superficial leader of the Hospital.
Shawn went to the cafeteria and ate some instant food and some gooey soup.
The taste wasn't particularly wonderful, but it was high in calories.
One plate of food raised Shawn's'Satiety' from a slowly decreasing 30 points to 107.
It wasn't completely full, but it could sustain Shawn for a while longer.
On the way back to his ward, Shawn saw his stalker suit.
The top and gloves were being worn by an officer, while the other parts were either stored somewhere unknown or had been divided among others.
Taking everything in, Shawn returned to Ward 4.
In the Hospital, even late at night, many people walked around. According to Shawn's observations just now, there were more officers here than he had imagined.
It seemed that because they arrived at the Hospital earlier, the number of officers had not decreased over time.
Shawn saw at least nearly 20 people.
The Hospital was simply their paradise; they could enter wards at will and do whatever they wanted.
Within the seemingly small Hospital, there was a subtly invisible hierarchy, a solid pyramid.
Officers were at the top, followed by doctors and nurses, then bottom-tier personnel with labor capabilities, and finally, the patients picked up from outside.
So no matter what the officers did, even if doctors and nurses saw them, they wouldn't utter a sound.
In fact, some nurses couldn't escape the clutches of these officers either.
Even with soundproofing in the wards, Shawn could still hear sounds coming from some of them.
During the day, this was the Hospital.
At night, it became a devil's playground.
As Shawn had said before, a survivor Camp was inherently a miniature society, and thus, human nature was fully displayed within a not-so-large corridor.
Shawn leaned against the headboard, eyes closed.
But his gradually heavy and hot breathing was enough to let one know that his heart was not calm at this moment.
Originally, Shawn thought that if he arrived at the Hospital earlier, these officers might not degenerate into the state they were in during the original plot.
However, when Shawn saw and heard it with his own eyes and ears, he understood.
Violence and great terror actually always lurked in people's hearts; they were just waiting for a suitable opportunity to completely unleash themselves.
This had nothing to do with time; this was human nature, human nature in the apocalypse.
'System, add points,' Shawn muttered in his mind.
He closed his eyes, but a light screen still appeared in his field of vision.
Shawn clicked on the 'Agility Sequence' and added 2 skill points to the basic attributes.
[(Light as a Swallow) Level 7/10, Agility and movement greatly improved]
[Can you walk on walls and ceilings? Unsure, but at least your posture is impressive.]
Agility Sequence Basic Attributes Level Lv7
Shawn felt light, as if a cloud was supporting him beneath his legs.
Every muscle in his body was subtly vibrating, not as intensely as the Strength attribute increase, but Shawn could genuinely feel every part of his body changing every second.
Shawn even had a very peculiar feeling, a feeling that was profound and mysterious.
If he had to describe it in words, it was that Shawn now felt his body's reactions could keep up with the dictates of his consciousness.
As long as he could see or notice something, Shawn's body could immediately follow his brain's reaction without any delay.
"Is this the effect of a significant increase in Agility?"
Shawn was somewhat surprised. He didn't know where the specific human limit was, but he felt he was not far from it.
Having the experience of maxing out his Strength, Shawn was particularly sensitive to the increase in Agility levels.
He was already looking forward to it. What changes would occur if he leveled up to Lv10?
Suppressing his emotions, Shawn turned the page back to the 'Strength Sequence'.
For the last remaining skill point, after much hesitation, Shawn still added it to 'Pain Tolerance'.
Previously, Shawn had added basic attributes to Lv3 in the 'Fortitude Sequence', which allowed him to activate 'Pain Tolerance' Level 2.
[Pain Tolerance: Specializes in enduring blows. Fight through the pain!]
[(Resilience) Level 2/5, damage taken reduced by 10%, chance of being stunned reduced by 40%]
[See? As long as you're tough enough, fractures and wounds are nothing.]
Fortitude Sequence Pain Tolerance Level Lv2
'Pain Tolerance' allowed Shawn's body to withstand blows and damage it previously couldn't.
At least now, Shawn was not so easily fractured.
Shawn opened his eyes and quietly looked out the vertical glass window of the ward door.
Suddenly!
A white man's face peered in abruptly, his aggressive gaze sweeping over Shawn.
Donald pushed the door open, and behind him, four more men in officer uniforms successively entered the ward.
The last person closed the ward door, and the five big men surrounded the bed, staring intently at Shawn.
Before Shawn could speak, they spontaneously tossed their gun belts aside, letting their pants slide down to their ankles.
Donald rested his hands on the bed's railing, leaning down to look at Shawn.
"As soon as I mentioned you, the officers couldn't help but want to see for themselves. You… don't mind, do you?"
Hearing Donald's words, a smile curved on Shawn's lips.
"I don't mind. The more the merrier."
Hearing Shawn say this, the officers laughed, and Shawn also laughed.
Shawn slowly got up, and under the gaze of the five men, he used the bedsheet to tightly tie the door from the inside.
Throughout the entire process, the officers made no move, as if they were not worried that Shawn would escape. In their eyes, Shawn seemed to have become prey.
Dawn knew what was going to happen, but she did not appear.
By tying the ward door shut, Shawn had given Dawn her last chance.
Shawn turned his head, his smile growing brighter.
Who exactly was the prey?
It wasn't until a large saber appeared that the answer to this question began to unfold.
The officers' smiles froze on their faces as they watched Shawn reach over his shoulder and slowly pull out a large saber from behind his back.
A 2.1-meter-long saber was pulled out from behind Shawn as if by magic.
'Where on earth was he hiding this saber?'
Before this question could vanish from the five men's minds, the saber had already come crashing towards them with a whoosh.
Donald's ferocious smile was still frozen on his face. He slowly lowered his head, and the pain in his lower body struck almost the moment he realized it, instantly overwhelming Donald's reason!
His pupils suddenly constricted, but then, in an instant, they widened!
"Ah!!!!"
