"It's alright, I'll have the bloodthirsty bats guard outside. As for inside, it's up to us."

"That's easy, I have this!"

Tang Xiaoting shook the crossbow in her hand.

"Have you ever killed a person? Or a living animal?"

"No, the targets in the lab are all dead targets."

"That settles it. But if you want to survive, you have to take this step. Let's go."

"Oh, okay."

Ye Lei led the way into the office building, taking out a lightsaber. Close combat was the most effective weapon, and this was a good opportunity to test its power.

"Which floor is the office on?"

"Second floor"

"Okay, follow me."

Upon entering the office building, it was eerily silent; not a single zombie was in sight.

Ye Lei walked straight towards the stairs.

Upon reaching the stairwell, apart from the occasional spark of electricity, there were no other sounds. However, he dared not slacken his vigilance in the slightest.

After all, zombies are constantly mutating and their speed is greatly increased. Once bitten or scratched, there is no chance of survival.

Tang Xiaoting followed closely behind, sweating profusely with nervousness.

She knew that if Ye Lei met with misfortune, she would certainly not survive, especially since her hand holding the crossbow was already soaked with large beads of sweat.

And so, the two of them made it to the second floor without any real danger.

Tang Xiaoting pointed to the right with her head, and Ye Lei understood.

But as soon as they passed two rooms, they heard voices coming from inside.

"Why did these soldiers take Chief Engineer Li away?"

"Who knows? Maybe we'll need Chief Engineer Li's help!"

"Chief Engineer Li only knows how to manufacture weapons. It's the apocalypse now, and there's no war. What help can he possibly offer?"

"That's hard to say. The apocalypse has only just begun. I think war is just a matter of time."

"Yes, you're right. Resources on Earth will definitely become increasingly scarce, and apart from war, there is no other solution."

"So if war breaks out, wouldn't we have a chance to use our skills?"

"You wish! What can you possibly do?"

"We could develop even more advanced weapons!"

"Come on, it's been so long and you haven't developed anything."

…………

Ye Lei listened intently and heard the voices of about four or five people.

Tang Xiaoting tiptoed and whispered in Ye Lei's ear, "That's my colleague, watch me."

Tang Xiaoting, no longer timid, wiped the sweat from her forehead and hands, straightened her back, and strode towards the office.

In her eyes, he was just her colleague, not a hideous zombie, so what was there to be afraid of?

However, Ye Lei's thoughts were completely different. If it were zombies, they could be dealt with, but the human heart is unpredictable, and humans are the most difficult to deal with.

"Engineer Tang, what brings you here?"

Tang Xiaoting was discovered as soon as she entered the office.

"Engineer Liu, I've come back to get some documents."

Tang Xiaoting said with a smile.

"Are you taking it with you? We have regulations that prohibit taking documents out of the country."

"It's the apocalypse, who cares about all that now!"

"That won't do. Rules are rules, and you definitely can't take it away."

This man named Liu Gong actually stood in front of Tang Xiaoting.

"Engineer Liu, what kind of regulations are there now? What time is it?!"

Tang Xiaoting said with a smile that she didn't want to have a conflict with them.

"That won't work either."

"That's right, you can't take it with you."

"These are all classified documents!"

…………

Those behind them gathered around, seemingly determined to protect the documents to the death.

"Colleagues, could you please move aside? I'm just grabbing my documents and leaving."

Tang Xiaoting raised her voice, but everyone stared at her, motionless.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Lei couldn't stand it any longer outside the door, so he roared and stormed into the office.

Who are you?

These people were not intimidated by Ye Lei's shout, after all, this was their territory.

"Me? You should ask her!"

"He came with me. Colleagues, let me through. I'll just grab the documents and leave!"

Tang Xiaoting made another request, but these people remained unmoved.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out of here?"

Ye Lei's temper flared up immediately. It's the apocalypse, and he still thinks he's someone important.

"You're the one who should get out; this is our office."

"I'm going to adjust my glasses," Liu said.

"Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant."

"Don't you know the famous Engineer Liu?"

Engineer Liu even puffed out his thin chest.

"I don't know, but you should know about it."

Ye Lei took out the lightsaber in his hand.

"Haha... Of course I know! Isn't that a lightsaber from Star Wars? Which toy store did you buy it at? I want to buy one too."

Judging from the fact that Engineer Liu is also a fan of celebrities, he certainly wouldn't believe this to be true.

You're saying it's a toy?

Ye Lei felt his soul had been insulted.

"Otherwise, do you think you're a Jedi Knight?"

Engineer Liu walked over and stood in front of Ye Lei. Although he was somewhat thin, he was not afraid at all. He thought Ye Lei was a mental patient.

Why don't you give it a try?

"Try it then, come on, if you're so capable, make it shine and pierce my chest."

Engineer Liu straightened his thin chest once again.

Do you really want to try?

Ye Lei had reached his limit; he had never been humiliated like this before. He picked up his lightsaber and pointed it at Ye Lei's chest.

"Ye Lei, stop."
