Chapter 45 - Get Helped

As Theodore and the others were resting, there was a noise to their right, another door. Theodore felt terrible when he heard this sound. 

"Hey, new kid. Do you think there will be a lot of zombies in there?" one of the soldiers asked Theodore and looked at the door on the right side in horror. 

"Most likely so." Theodore just nodded his head slowly. 

"Should we go there?" 

"For now, it's better to explore this place first. It's our job to look for the doctor. Who knows if he's here?" Theodore replied, shrugging his shoulders indifferently. 

Remembering that it was enough to rest, Theodore began to call his group members and explained what they would do here before going deeper. 

"This place is quite large. We should check this area and confirm if the doctor is here. It would also be beneficial if we got a clue about the doctor's whereabouts." Theodore began to explain his plan when everyone had gathered around him. 

The soldiers originally just wanted to use Theodore as a shield, but they didn't expect that he could slaughter as many zombies as before. Even thanks to him, they could still stand here. 

So the soldiers nodded their heads and obeyed Theodore's words. They began to split up into groups of two. Only Theodore wandered around alone because there were an odd number of them. 

After exploring this place, Theodore realized it was the western lobby for general medicine, so it was only natural that they had found a large wave of zombies in this area before. 

The door on the right that still had noise coming from it was the door leading to the infirmary. Theodore was sure there would be many zombies there, and they would most likely have to deal with another large wave of zombies. 

Theodore didn't know if Victor intentionally sent their group to come to this area to die or what, but it would be challenging for them to deal with so many zombies. 

Moreover, from the previous battle, Theodore could tell that only he could restrain the movement of the zombies, while the soldiers could only kill them from behind. 

Thinking of what they would face later, Theodore couldn't help but sigh tiredly. It seemed like today would be very tiring for him. 

Since there was still time before they had to open the door full of zombies, Theodore returned to his plan to explore this place and walked behind the registration counter. 

Theodore didn't expect to find Doctor Christopher here, considering that this place was just a lobby and a registration area; what he was after here was information about this hospital. 

It would be nice if he could get information about Doctor Christopher's activities or where he usually was. But Theodore thought that this Doctor Christopher was no ordinary person, given that the base searched for his whereabouts first. 

"It will be difficult to find this person, most likely in his lab or in his room, which will definitely be upstairs," Theodore muttered while rummaging through all the files on the counter. 

"Let's see what we find here," Theodore said as he found a file on the corner of the counter. 

As Theodore read what was in the file, he realized that it was a research file intended for one of the doctors on duty here, but it didn't seem to have been signed yet. 

The file was about research, and Theodore needed help understanding what he was reading. He wasn't intelligent at school, so he needed to understand what research they were discussing in the file. 

It was just that Theodore realized that it was an important file, so he secretly took the file and put it into the Sacred Dimension. 

"What do you think, system? Are they doing dangerous research?" Theodore silently communicated with his system. 

After seeing the research file, Theodore thought about what happened in the zombie movie he often watched in school. These doctors may have a hand in this zombie virus.

Although Theodore knew that this zombie virus occurred because of an ancient virus at the North Pole, it still did not rule out the possibility that they also contributed to this problem.

[The system understands the Host's suspicion. Indeed, research like this will look suspicious at this time. It's better to keep the evidence in case they do have a role in this virus]

"I know you must be suspicious, too. By the way, can you help me find the whereabouts of that doctor Christopher?" Theodore took advantage of this situation to ask the system. 

[The system can do it. But, if the Host wants to get the system's help, then the system will provide a Quest for the Host]

A sigh was heard from Theodore; he had expected something like this to happen. Indeed, the system would not help him willingly. But Theodore also was okay with doing the Quest from the system, considering that he would get experience if he successfully completed it. 

"No problem. The important thing is that you want to help me find the doctor." Theodore finally agreed to do the Quest from the system in exchange for the help it would give him. 

Soon, Theodore could hear the notification sound from the system in his head. 

Ding!

[Host has got a new Quest!]

[New Quest: 

Kill zombies (0/???)

Collect medicines and medical devices (0/15)

Find the whereabouts of Doctor Christopher (0/1) ]

Theodore frowned when he saw the Quest description he just got from the system; this was a series of objectives their team had to do; why did the system also give him the same task?

"Why is your quest the same as the one assigned by Victor?" Theodore decided to ask the system. 

[That way, the system would be able to help the Host. If not, then the system has no reason to support the Host]

Although Theodore didn't really understand what the system meant, as long as it could help him and he could gain experience to increase his level, he didn't mind doing anything as long as it didn't harm him. 

"Alright then. Then, how can you help me?" Theodore just needed clarification about how the system could help him. 

[In every floor or place that the Host visits, the system will tell him what is there and also whether the doctor is there or not]

Theodore finally understood how the system could help him find Doctor Christopher. 

"Then, what should I do in this place? Are there any medicines I should get?" Theodore thought that there must be something he should do here.

[Yes, there is a pharmacy here. You can find it here]

Theodore realized this was also where people got their medicines, and it seemed like they would have to loot that pharmacy this time.
