Chapter 227 The Real Doomsday

Lately, the atmosphere in the underground research institute has been different from usual; there's not much noise or commotion...

Because Director Yue Zongyang has already announced the date for lifting the lockdown.

And that date is fast approaching.

Ninety percent of the guards have been assigned new missions, and the underground research institute is currently lacking many disposable supplies.

Shortly after Yue Zongyang announced the date for lifting the lockdown, he assigned the task to the guard team ahead of schedule.

It can be said that some people are happy while others are sad.

Those who were delighted were naturally people like Wang Bahu. They possessed considerable strength and were eager to search for resources and hunt down alien species to obtain new turbid liquid and further enhance their power.

During this year, the underground research institute remained stagnant, while the zombies above continued to mutate.

As for those who are worried, they have naturally become accustomed to comfort during this year and do not want to risk their lives, but because of food and missions, they have no choice but to go up there to search and fight...

Han Shuo and the others had very different feelings.

Fatty, Xiao Zhao, and Wai Di were quite excited; the three of them had been itching to get out of there for a long time.

Li Shurou and Chen Hai were very worried because they couldn't accompany them on their outing.

As for Han Shuo, he himself couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment.

I wouldn't say I'm happy, nor would I say I'm unhappy; I'd say I'm in a fairly peaceful state of mind.

Last night, Cheng Shenghong came over, selected some weapons, left a few words of thanks, and then left in a hurry.

Han Shuo could tell that his ally was eager to leave.

After Cheng Shenghong left, Han Shuo instructed everyone to pack their luggage in advance and then rest early to prepare for the next day.

...

This morning, Chen Hai prepared breakfast for everyone as usual.

After everyone sat together and finished breakfast, they cleaned up the mess on the table. Han Shuo glanced at the time.

7:30 a.m.

"Alright, today is the first day the underground research institute is unsealed. The passage gate will open at 8 o'clock. There are still half an hour left, let's go ahead and go ahead."

Han Shuo said with a smile, and then took the Tang sword out of the room.

"Let's go, I've forgotten what the air up there tastes like," the fat man shouted with a grin.

"Let's go take a look," Xiao Zhao said excitedly.

...

They set off immediately, and soon all six members of the team emerged from their residence.

Chen Hai and Li Shurou were also in the team.

They didn't carry much luggage, because Han Shuo didn't plan to go out with the main force to search for supplies on the first day the underground research institute was unsealed.

They went there just to join in the fun...

Of course, besides joining in the fun, the group also had some other purposes.

To this day, the inhibitor has not only been developed for the Guards and Free Men, but almost all survivors have received the opportunity to be vaccinated for free.

During this year, Chen Hai and Wai Di also received inhibitors to fight the ice crystal virus.

Since it's free anyway, there's no harm in getting vaccinated.

Previously, Han Shuo, Fatty, and Xiao Zhao had all been scratched by zombies outside.

After receiving the inhibitor, there will be some aftereffects when you are injured for the first time, such as having a fever for two days.

This time, Han Shuo's goal was to find a random zombie outside and have it give Li Shurou, Wai Di, and Chen Hai a good whack.

Since receiving the inhibitor, none of the three of them have been scratched by zombies.

No one can guarantee they'll never be caught by a zombie. Since this fever is bound to come sooner or later, it's better to get rid of the aftereffects as soon as possible...

After all, Wai-di will be going outside with Han Shuo to search for supplies, and he will inevitably get scratched by zombies during the battle.

The situation outside is much more complicated. If Wai Di loses his fighting ability while he has a fever, and then encounters any unexpected situation along the way, he could easily become a burden to the team.

Han Shuo was always thoughtful and meticulous. In his mind, this potential hidden danger had to be eliminated in advance.

Anyway, they've been in the underground research institute for over a year, so even if they need to go out to search for new supplies, there's no rush...

Soon, Han Shuo and the others arrived at the passage above.

At this time, there were still 5 minutes before the passage would open.

But this place is already packed with people.

Manager Wang stood at the very front of the crowd.

Behind him were mostly guards who needed to quickly clear away the surrounding zombies the moment the passage opened to prevent them from entering.

The rest are free agents like Han Shuo.

Unwittingly, Han Shuo spotted Cheng Shenghong and others in the crowd.

Cheng Shenghong also saw him. In a moment when no one else noticed, the two exchanged a smile and then returned to their original state, continuing to pretend that they did not know each other.

Because Wang Bahu is also here.

What happened next was rather strange.

Han Shuo and the others stared intently at Qin Hongling.

Cheng Shenghong and the others glared angrily at Wang Bahu.

The three individuals each found their own enemy in the crowd, each harboring their own secrets and wanting to find an opportunity to kill the other...

However, with Chief Steward Wang in charge, no one dared to act impulsively or challenge his authority.

And so, a few minutes later, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning.

"Boom!"

After a sound, Han Shuo felt the passage beneath his feet slowly rise.

After a year, the underground research institute has finally opened its doors to the outside world!

"Set off!"

At Chief Steward Wang's command, everyone behind him sprang into action, quickly heading straight for the other side of the passage ahead!

Soon, Han Shuo also ran out of the passage.

My feet were on the ground again, and the feeling was indescribable.

But the next second, he froze on the spot.

"Yay! The sweet air, the beautiful meadow, the dawn sun, Fatty, I'm here..."

The fat man also squeezed out of the crowd. He started shouting loudly, but his voice gradually grew softer and softer.

Almost everyone who walked out of the passageway stood there stunned for a few seconds.

For where is there sweet air? Where are there beautiful meadows? Where is there the sunrise...?

All that met the eye was endless yellow sand, a gray sky, and hundreds upon hundreds of zombies ahead...

Once, the green grass underfoot had withered, leaving only desolation.

The outside world was vastly different, and the extremely harsh weather before him sent a shiver down Han Shuo's spine.

Nuclear radiation had already severely damaged the natural environment before it entered its decline phase.

The withering of plants caused a dramatic change in the weather and environment, resulting in the current state of things.

This level of damage cannot be restored overnight.

Han Shuo gazed at everything before him, murmuring softly to himself.

"Could this be the true apocalypse?"
