At this moment, in the laboratory deep in the corridor, Du Ze was searching through the remaining virus research materials.
Under Du Ze's command, the space-type ability users in the team frantically stuffed things into their own spaces. They didn't leave any medical equipment or medicines behind, and they also took all the literature and records that were even slightly related to the zombie virus.
"Why did you have to kill Sun Lu? She was at least a sixth-tier fire-type, she could have helped a bit against zombies." Liu Peng complained as he rummaged through the filing cabinet. "Now there are only a dozen or so people left. Even if we find the research data, it's a question of whether we can get it out alive."
Du Ze looked impatient. "You can't live without Sun Lu? Stop talking nonsense."
"Am I wrong? We don't even know how many zombies are outside. Even if we leave the research institute, we still have to go through that ominous forest. Without Sun Lu and Lu Sheng, how are we going to get out? If you had all listened to me, things wouldn't have turned out like this. No matter what, I'm the person in charge of this mission. Sun Lu has some status in the base. I really don't know how I'm going to explain this to you when we get back."
Liu Peng became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and couldn't help but criticize Du Ze for his willful actions.
"Alright! Stop nagging! If you don't want to stay, get out! I dared to kill Sun Lu, and I dare to kill you too!" Du Ze was driven mad by Liu Peng's endless nagging, and slammed his fist on the filing cabinet. "Don't let me hear another word from your damn mouth!"
Liu Peng was startled and awkwardly shut his mouth.
At the same time, Zhao Fan's excited voice finally came from the other side of the laboratory, "Found it! The data has been found!"
A genuine joy appeared on the faces of everyone present.
Finding research data means there has been further progress on the zombie virus, and a bright future may be just around the corner!
Du Ze dropped what he was holding, rushed over excitedly, snatched the documents and held them tightly in his hand, stroking them tenderly.
But the next second, a piercing pain shot from his back all the way to his chest.
He subconsciously looked down and found a sharp bone spur piercing his heart from back to front, while the documents in his hand were ripped away by a brute force.
Du Ze subconsciously and with difficulty looked up, only to find Liu Peng's chubby, greasy face standing smiling beside him.
"you……"
The attack came far too suddenly; he never expected that this seemingly insignificant nobody would launch a surprise attack. He couldn't understand why he hadn't sensed Liu Peng's attack at all, given that Liu Peng was only a fifth-tier nobody.
He looked back blankly and found that all the members of the Falcon Squad had been impaled by bone spikes and were lying on the ground, barely breathing.
"Idiot, I was waiting for my skill cooldown, otherwise I would have killed you long ago." Liu Peng waved the materials in his hand triumphantly. "I have to thank you for killing that woman Sun Lu, otherwise I would have had to do it myself."
Only now did Du Ze finally realize what had happened.
It turns out that Liu Peng's apparent incompetence and weakness along the way were most likely an act!
They all thought Liu Peng was a good-for-nothing, but this guy's original plan was to play dumb and take advantage of others!
Just now, Liu Peng was talking to me like a chatterbox, trying to buy time and lower my guard!
"You...aren't you only at the fifth rank?" Du Ze asked incredulously.
Liu Peng, with that greasy smile on his face, raised his hand and slapped Du Ze across the face twice. "Why would a dead man know so much?"
"you!"
Du Ze's angry growl quickly came to an abrupt end.
Liu Peng slit his throat with a military dagger, then disdainfully tossed the body aside.
This world is a dog-eat-dog world; only the ruthless survive.
Moreover, a despicable person like Du Ze would find an opportunity to get rid of him after leaving the research institute in order to cover up his crimes.
He simply struck first, he did nothing wrong!
Just as Liu Peng put the documents into his spatial ring, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him.
The next instant, Sun Lu's flashlight shone directly on him. "What happened? How come all these people are dead?"
Sun Lu rushed over, glanced at Du Ze's still-warm body, and asked, "Did you kill him?"
