This means that the person who goes to shut off the valve must remove the last barrier and expose their body to radiation.
This was destined to be a mission from which there was no return.
A long silence fell over everyone at the K3 base.
Lu Sheng and the others could choose to relocate outside the blast radius, but they didn't have a choice; the relocation of tens of thousands of people was not just a matter of words.
After a while, a middle-aged man, about forty years old, stepped forward from the line.
"I'll go, I'm the oldest."
The middle-aged man tried his best to suppress his emotions, revealing a dry, bitter smile through his thick protective mask.
Lu Song quickly stepped in front of the man, "I'll go, I'm the best swimmer."
"What are you saying? You're still young, you're the future hope of K3." The middle-aged man clenched his fist and gently punched Lu Song's shoulder.
“Brother Zhang…” Lin Xiaobao’s eyes reddened.
"Since I'm wearing this uniform, I'm prepared to sacrifice myself at any time. I didn't have the chance before the apocalypse, but now I finally have a chance to make a contribution, so don't try to take it from me."
Brother Zhang tried to sound relaxed, but the sadness in his voice was impossible to hide.
"I'll go."
A familiar voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Dongyang?" Ma Dongmei raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"I can't beat that guy surnamed Lu, I can't get revenge, there's no point in living." Dongyang glared at Lu Sheng hatefully.
"I've had enough of this hellish life. I'd rather die sooner than later."
As she was speaking, she was about to take off her protective suit when several people around her quickly stopped her.
Lu Sheng was overwhelmed by their endless, sentimental ramblings, so she simply used the one-click outfit-changing function that the system had previously rewarded her with to put on a set of diving gear.
"Damn, you guys could have gone home and eaten the time you've spent dawdling."
After saying that, Lu Sheng rushed into the gate.
The base finally unlocked the supermarket and breakfast machine; it would be a shame if her happy little village were blown up.
After all, she poured her heart and soul into building this remote little village; she has feelings for it!
Anyway, she has space, so she can temporarily avoid any emergency underwater.
It's not a big problem.
After entering the pool, Lu Sheng quickly located the valve.
Having successfully opened the water valve, she was about to return the way she came when she suddenly felt a sticky sensation under her feet.
Lu Sheng looked down and his pupils constricted instantly.
A clump of oily, sticky liquid quietly climbed up her calf and was rapidly spreading up her back.
The water temperature was very high, but Lu Sheng still felt a chill running down his back.
There are even liquid zombies here!
Due to their different densities, these liquid zombies do not dissolve in water; instead, they move more nimbly with the help of water.
Lu Sheng sped up, trying to get back to the surface as soon as possible, but the oily black water quickly wrapped around her neck, dragging her underwater.
Lu Sheng dodged into the space, avoiding the entanglement of the liquid zombie.
After breaking free of its restraints, it immediately dashed towards the surface of the water.
"Gurgle."
In the deep water, a pair of enormous eyes locked onto that slender, agile figure.
Pfft.
A thick stream of acid sprayed over.
Lu Sheng glanced to the side and saw a huge leech staring at her menacingly.
Because it was close to the radiation center, this mutated leech was even larger than Zhuangzhuang, and it swam rapidly toward Lu Sheng with its huge mouth open.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly.
Why doesn't this Tengfei base pay attention to water quality and hygiene? They're raising such huge bugs here!
She darted away quickly, deftly dodging the combined attack of the liquid zombies and leeches. But soon, several blurry figures emerged from the water.
Lu Sheng glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the horde of zombies were all wearing the uniforms of the Tengfei Base.
These zombies, bloated from being soaked in water, moved swiftly like water ghosts as they surged forward.
No wonder they didn't find any bodies in the basement; apparently, all the bodies had been thrown into the pool...
Just as Lu Sheng was preparing to draw his sword and fight, he suddenly felt a warm touch on his side.
Before Lu Sheng could react, she was pulled into his arms.
She looked up in surprise, and what came into view was Xu Yi's smooth profile.
Under the hazy underwater filter, his refined and elegant features gained an extra touch of hormonal tension.
"Don't space out."
Xu Yi’s deep voice rang out, and then he tightened his arms around Lu Sheng’s waist.
The horde of hungry water ghosts charged forward with their mouths agape. Xu Yi held Lu Sheng tightly and swam upwards quickly, unleashing several light blades that slashed at the dark mass of corpses.
Lu Sheng looked at the man next to her in surprise.
Wow, they're making a fortune in silence.
They secretly unlocked the third type of superpower and didn't even tell anyone!
The light blades are extremely lethal to these shadowy creatures that have been lurking in the darkness for a long time.
Soon, several plumes of dark blood mist bloomed underwater.
Taking advantage of the fact that the water ghosts were suppressed, Xu Yi carried Lu Sheng and quickly rushed to the surface of the water.
"Teacher Xu, why are you hugging the gang leader?"
As soon as the two of them showed their faces, the bespectacled young man asked in surprise.
