If they were still somewhat hesitant before, now they have absolutely no desire to meddle in other people's business.

This person is already a sixth-tier ice-type, so even if you win a fight, you'll still get hurt. At a time like this, no one is willing to waste their precious abilities and stamina on a stranger.

Sizzle.

The sound of tearing fabric rang out.

Seeing the large expanse of snow-white skin exposed by Chu Jiaojiao, the man's eyes flashed with excited and frenzied light, and he pounced on Chu Jiaojiao like a wild dog pouncing on its prey.

Just as he unzipped his pants, ready to unleash his lust, a brute force suddenly attacked from behind.

Lu Sheng's electric python flew out of his hand and quickly wrapped around the man's short, thick neck.

She beckoned with her finger, and the electric python tightened around her like a nimble snake.

Lu Sheng wrapped the electric python around his wrist and pulled it backward with all his might.

She placed one foot on the man's lower back and yanked her wrist upwards sharply. The man's obese body, like a piece of pork being hoisted up, was forcibly pulled off Chu Jiaojiao by Lu Sheng.

The man struggled with both hands to pull at the electric python that was tightening around his neck, his greasy face swollen to a dark red from suffocation.

"You...you let me go!" the man struggled, his voice hoarse from his throat.

"If you can't control your lower body, then cut it off. What kind of skill is it to bully a young girl?" Lu Sheng's face was cold, and the pressure on his hand continued to tighten.

Enraged, the man manipulated two giant icicles to launch a sneak attack on Lu Sheng from behind.

The sharp icicles pierced straight toward Lu Sheng's nape and spine, but just as they were about to touch her, she cleaved them into shards with a backhand slash.

Seeing that his all-out attack had failed to harm Lu Sheng, the man immediately changed his tune.

"I...I was so scared that I was blinded by greed and did such a despicable thing. Please give me another chance, I'll never do it again! Please let me go!"

"A piece of trash whose head is full of lewd nonsense, a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

Without hesitation, Lu Sheng slit the man's throat with a single stroke.

This kind of person is a ticking time bomb sooner or later. Since they're just social scum anyway, they might as well leave early.

Lu Sheng casually tossed the man's body aside, wiped the blood off the blade, and turned to walk with Sun Lu toward the second floor of the laboratory.

Seeing that the others were still hesitant, Li Kaixuan and Zhang Zhiguo immediately advised them, "Why don't you go with those two? Staying here might not be safe either, but going with them might give you a chance to survive."

"Forget it, do you think those two women can fight against so many people from the research institute? If you want to leave, then leave. I don't want to take another step," someone in the crowd said dejectedly.

Some people were clinging to a sliver of hope, saying, "Go ahead, if you can really turn the research institute upside down, we can stay here and be safe, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense, who do you think you are? Do you think people work for you?" The girl with the high ponytail, who had just wanted to kill Chu Jiaojiao, cursed and got up to catch up quickly.

She wanted to live, more than anyone else; she would do anything to survive.

Seeing that the remaining people had lost their fighting spirit, Li Kaixuan and Zhang Zhiguo simply gave up trying to persuade them and jogged a few steps to catch up.

The walls on the second floor of the laboratory had not yet been painted, and shocking bloodstains and signs of a struggle were visible everywhere.

Lu Sheng and Sun Lu walked ahead, opening each room one by one like opening a blind box.

Surprisingly, all the rooms were empty throughout the entire trip.

Not to mention living people, we didn't see a single zombie.

"What's the research institute up to?" Sun Lu frowned.

The girl with the high ponytail, named Zou Lu, cautiously walked to the window and looked down. "Are the people from the research institute still outside, waiting for us to come out?"

Time passed slowly, and Lu Sheng and her companions searched from the second floor all the way to the top floor, the fifth floor, but they didn't find any other living creatures in the room.

Apart from the first and second floors, the environment on the third floor and above was much better, with clean and tidy walls and no bloodstains.

Just as the group was speculating, the loudspeaker on the wall emitted a mechanical electronic voice again.

"Five people passed the test. The test is now ending early because the remaining participants have dropped out."

"Huh?" Li Kaixuan looked completely bewildered. "Are you kidding me? It's over already?"

Sun Lu clapped her hands in sudden realization, "Playing psychological warfare? Actually, there aren't any zombies in this experimental building at all, are there?"

Meanwhile, the remaining people who had been slacking off on the first floor were also bewildered.

This round of experiments is so easy? Just going upstairs is enough to pass?
