"I...I want to go in...let me in..."
The newly mutated zombie still retained a trace of human memory. She first lay on the door, pleading desperately like a broken record. When she received no response, she flew into a rage, frantically pounding on the door and howling incessantly.
The sounds of fighting and screams echoed outside the door, instantly freezing the atmosphere inside the room.
"You...you weren't bitten, were you?" Xu Bo used his superpower to reinforce the door panel, then turned back to look at Chu Jiaojiao cautiously. "We saved you. If you were bitten, you should have said so earlier. Don't repay kindness with enmity."
Chu Jiaojiao's eyes reddened, and she began to sob, tears streaming down her face. "No, I dodged quickly and wasn't touched."
"She just spat at you, but didn't it get in your eyes, nose, or mouth?" Sun Lu asked Chu Jiaojiao coldly, scrutinizing her.
Not only are superhumans evolving, but zombies are evolving too.
Previous zombie viruses required skin penetration to spread and mutate, but many new zombie viruses have evolved to spread through mucous membranes. There is a chance of infection simply by coming into contact with the body fluids of a new type of zombie on your mucous membranes.
For example, it can be transmitted through contact with the eyes, mouth, nose, and wounds via the body fluids of zombies.
As a result, face shields, masks, and protective clothing have become extremely sought-after on the black market recently, and their prices have soared.
Chu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip in grievance, "No, I didn't touch that black water."
Xu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You mustn't hurt anyone. We're all in the same dorm, so we're in the same boat. Don't keep anything to yourself."
“It’s all in chaos outside. At least a dozen people have been infected.” Sun Lu glanced out the window.
The corridor was in complete chaos, with several newly infected and mutated zombies frantically hunting for food outside. Besides the mutated ones in the corridor, things didn't seem peaceful in the other dormitories either, with intermittent screams coming from the corridors on both sides.
Before long, disheveled living people and newly mutated, ferocious zombies rushed out of each dormitory.
The entire floor was in complete chaos.
In the chaos, the living and the zombies pushed and fought each other, and soon it became impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
"What do we do? Should we continue to hide here?" Sun Lu immediately took off the cumbersome sterile gown, leaving only her neat vest and shorts underneath.
Lu Sheng glanced at the situation outside and then assessed the impact resistance of the dormitory.
"Let's find a less crowded place first. At this rate of transmission, the entire floor will be overrun with zombies in just a few minutes."
There are nearly 100 people in the same batch as them participating in the vaccine screening. Add to that the staff in the building, and if hundreds of mutated zombies block them in the door, it will be troublesome to deal with.
"Okay, let's rush out first."
The two exchanged glances, quickly got up, and opened the door. The four remaining people in the dormitory gritted their teeth and followed them out.
The survivors in the corridor had spontaneously gathered together, and Lu Sheng and the others met up with them not far from the door.
Unexpectedly, they spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Lu Sheng! Come over here quickly!" Single mother Xu Jing waved excitedly to Lu Sheng and the others from the crowd.
When faced with a life-or-death situation, even strangers become more united than ever before. Everyone's sole goal is to survive.
On the other side of the corridor, dozens of mutated zombies staggered toward the crowd, their grayish-white eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
"Let's go downstairs first; there must be research institute staff on duty down there!" a voice in the crowd suggested.
Lu Sheng didn't really want to stand out at this moment, so he ran wildly towards the stairwell with everyone else.
The main force rushed to the duty room. Ignoring the wound on his hand, Li Kaixuan pounded on the door with his fists, shouting, "Master! Open the door! There's been a zombie outbreak upstairs!"
But no one responded in the duty room for a long time.
Zhang Zhiguo couldn't wait any longer, so he swung the iron bar and slammed it heavily against the door.
He was a sixth-tier strength type, and his fists were about the size of a crane. He pounded the door out of shape with just a few punches.
Finally, he kicked the door down and rushed inside.
"Hey! Talk to me! Contact someone now! Otherwise, nobody in this building will be able to escape!"
Zhang Zhiguo shoved the security guard on the bed in the duty room with a displeased expression.
The figure on the bed stirred, then suddenly sat up.
The next second, a mouthful of black water was sprayed at Zhang Zhiguo.
