In an apocalyptic world of oxygen scarcity, mutated plants, and the collapse of human civilization, whether human or plant, the only goal is to survive.
In her past life, the apocalypse came ...
The mutated monkeys climbed up the security windows, water pipes, and air conditioner units on the outer wall, creating some kind of opening. They kept pouring in, and now the inside of the factory is no longer safe!
"Go and close the security door!"
Cheng Zhen used a light shockwave to kill a mutated monkey that jumped up and attacked Jiang Wan, and shouted.
The workshop they were in was on the ground floor, with a stairwell and elevator at the back for going up and down. The elevator was locked due to a power outage, and the stairwell became the only way for the mutated monkeys to get down!
At this moment, the closest to the entrance of the building were Yuan Jie and another inner city guard.
After Cheng Zhen shouted, seeing that they were just standing there frozen in place, he angrily yelled, "Do you want to die? Go close the door!"
One after another, the mutated monkeys jumped out of the doorway, their mouths wide open, their claws sharp and pointed, as if a slight scratch would cause blood vessels to burst and blood to splatter on the spot!
Instead of closing the door, Yuan Jie was so frightened that he took two steps back. He saw a monkey jump up, its gaping maw and sharp claws aimed directly at his head, face, and neck. In a panic, he grabbed his comrade and instinctively used him to shield himself from the fatal blow.
His comrade-in-arms was also terrified, but when he heard Cheng Zhen's words, he didn't immediately retreat and try to run away. He was hesitating whether to close the door. In that moment of hesitation, he was caught off guard and grabbed by Yuan Jie to block the mutated monkey.
"Ah!" A scream rang out.
The mutated monkey's claws ripped through the blood vessels in his neck, and he died in a second, before he even had a chance to understand why.
His comrades' blood splattered on Yuan Jie's face and head, including his transparent oxygen mask. He pulled it off, and instantly a bright red stain appeared, a gruesome sight.
It was as if the surroundings had been paused; everyone, while killing the mutated monkeys, watched in shock at the scene before them.
Yuan Jie threw his hands aside, leaving behind the comrade he had killed. Trembling, he retreated, his face deathly pale, and subconsciously protested, "N-no, it's not my fault."
Zhou Qingshen was the first to react, and in a fit of rage, he rushed forward and punched him hard: "Yuan Jie! You bastard, that's your comrade-in-arms! Your brother!"
But the door wasn't closed yet, and mutated monkeys kept pouring in. He couldn't punish them; he could only rush over and close the door first.
However, the best time to close the door had already passed. At this moment, the mutated monkeys surged into the door like a tide, and one person could not close the door at all, especially since it was originally two wide-open fire doors.
Seeing that he couldn't count on those twenty-odd cowards in the inner city, Cheng Zhen didn't even bother to get angry and could only go up and close the door himself.
Jiang Wan grabbed him quickly and said urgently, "Take me there!"
Her eyes were firm and unwavering as she stared at him, refusing to budge an inch.
Cheng Zhen immediately remembered what she had said before, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he put his arm around Jiang Wan's waist, and the two appeared next to the safety door.
"Hold on!" Cheng Zhen said to Zhou Qingshen, then closed the door on his side as well.
Knowing that once the door was closed, they would never be able to get in again, the mutated monkeys outside became extremely agitated. They joined forces and rammed against the door with great force. Even with two large men holding them back, they couldn't close the lock and the top bolt for a while.
Seeing this during the attack, Yu Fen shouted, "Boss, hold on, I'm coming!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, his blood boiling: "Boss!"
"Retreat immediately!"
It turned out to be a little monkey that rushed out from the gap in the door that was not yet closed, baring its teeth and pouncing on Cheng Zhen.
Everyone in the inner city felt their blood freeze, unable to suppress their fear, and their whole bodies began to tremble.
It's over! If Cheng Zhen gets bitten to death, then they'll all die here!
Yu Fen and the others became agitated, turning their grief and anger into strength, and fought even more fiercely and aggressively, all heading towards the safety door to support their leader!
The boss absolutely cannot get into trouble!
However, the expected scenario of Cheng Zhen being injured or bitten in the throat and bleeding profusely did not occur!
Just as the mutated little monkey was about to touch Cheng Zhen, Jiang Wan suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Zhen. At the same time, a withered vine with scattered green leaves appeared around them, completely enveloping the two of them.
The mutated little monkey that was about to attack them let out a strange cry and had its neck snapped.
Not only it, but all the monkeys that squeezed through the crack in the door trying to break through the security door had their necks snapped and were decapitated.
It turns out that the vines protecting Jiang Wan can also attack automatically. Their vines are covered with sharp barbs, and once you get entangled in them, there is no way to survive.
With its help, the pressure on the door was reduced significantly, and Cheng Zhen and Zhou Qingshen worked together to close the door completely.
Cheng Zhen jumped up and inserted all the pins on top.
Zhou Qingshen was locking the door when a sudden, powerful impact caused him to stumble, and the security door was violently forced open once again.
The mutated monkeys seized every opportunity and surged inside.
Yu Fen, who rushed over to help, was the first to be hit and collided head-on with the mutated monkeys that pounced in. He immediately used his light-shock wave to kill a string of them, but he couldn't withstand the monkeys' superior mobility and agility. A lone monkey next to him pounced straight at his neck.
Beside him was Yuan Jie, trembling with fear, his hands hunched over, his back against a pile of building materials, screaming and wildly swinging his stick.
He faced Yu Fen's crisis head-on, but remained indifferent and unmoved, showing no intention of offering any help whatsoever!
Cheng Zhen was busy closing the door for Zhou Qingshen so he could go and save people, but once he let go of the door, a steady stream of mutated monkeys would rush in, and then more than just Yu Fen would die!
But if he doesn't take action, he'll lose a good brother!
And this person just so happens to be Yu Fen!
However, he had already placed his purification ability outside the building materials factory to prevent the surrounding mutated plants from attacking it.
Caught in a dilemma, all his violent impulses came out at once. He roared and went berserk, and with all his might, he finally slammed the security door shut, locked it, and bolted it in one smooth motion!
He turned around and used his teleportation ability to save Yu Fen, only to find Yu Fen still fighting the enemy unharmed, covered in blood, but he was certain that it wasn't his.
Just a second earlier, Jiang Wan had instantly drawn her rattan whip, wrapped it around Yuan Jie, who had been standing by watching the wind without helping and even had a history of making his comrades take the blame, and used it to block Yu Fen's crisis.
The next second, Yu Fen, regaining his senses, killed the zombie monkey.
But Yuan Jie had no way out. With two loud "heh heh" sounds, even though he was unwilling, he still died.
