--------------------

The soldiers quarantined in the base's west side were finally transferred to the medical department for their final stages of recuperation. Most of the soldiers were grateful for Qiao Chen's research and development into the medicine that saved their lives. However, there were soldiers, like Sun Bin, who were upset with Qiao Chen. Their lives were saved, but they were so sick that their abilities were sacrificed due to the illness. They weren't any different from ordinary people now. Sun Bin fully believed that Qiao Chen deliberately stalled the drug's development just so he would lose his abilities.

After Sun Bin took his last bite of food from the provided lunch box, he angrily threw the lunch box into the ground. Then he punched the headboard until his resentment lessened. Sun Yu was accustomed to his brother's behavior. He calmly bent over and picked up the lunch box from the floor. The second his brother found out that he lost his abilities, he punched, kicked, and smashed everything within reaching distance. Sun Yu came in to deliver his brother's food the other day, and his brother had thrown the food in a fit of anger before even taking a bite.

However, they were in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Everyone's daily food intake was rationed out. If it was thrown away, then he'd have to stay hungry. There were no replacements. Therefore, after going hungry several times in a row, Sun Bin changed to throw his lunch box after he finished eating.

"I know you're upset, brother. Unfortunately, the things that happened have already happened. You'll get through this eventually." Sun Yu said comfortingly. This was only for face value though. Sun Yu was actually very worried that Sun Bin had lost his abilities. He didn't know whether Sun Bin would be able to continue to assist and support him or if Sun Bin would become dead weight and drag him down to his level.

"It's all his fault. It's all because of that damned Mu Chen. If he had agreed to save us earlier, then I would have never deteriorated to the point that I'm at now. He's the one that dragged it on for so long so that I'd become a waste." Sun Bin gritted his teeth and growled. His face twisted into anger and despair. He truly believed that people who didn't have abilities were basically disableds and handicapped. "Useless wastes of space." Sun Bin thought darkly.

Sun Yu unconsciously looked around. He saw that the other beds were empty and remembered that everyone else in the ward had already recovered and discharged. His brother was still here because the medical staff deducted the costs of broken items via his allocated medicines. This was the main reason he still hadn't recovered until now.

"It's better to keep your voice down, brother. This is the East One base. Everyone looks at Mu Chen very highly here. If they hear you, they will make it hard on us again." Sun Yu said. He lowered his head and looked like he was enduring the humiliation.

"Are they targeting you?" Sun Bin asked with a fierce look.

Sun Yu didn't answer but his expression told Sun Bin everything he wanted to hear. Sun Bin attacked the headboard again. "That damned Mu Chen! You better watch out, because even if I've become a disabled person now, I will never let this go. I'll wait for as long as it takes."

Sun Yu's grievances had nothing to do with other people. However, he was so used to playing the victim that he made it seem like other people were giving him a hard time out of habit. There were more and more cases where healing ability users couldn't cure infected people. Qiao Chen, as one person, was too busy. He sorted the cases where the abilities weren't effective on the patients and handed them over to the doctors on the base. These doctors were taught the method of treatment. The healers needed to work together with the doctors to treat the infected patients.
