Chapter 311 Rekindling the Hope of Life
"There's actually an escape route at the very back of the underground research facility?"
Han Shuo was overjoyed upon hearing the news.
He thought they were doomed to die tonight, but he never expected there was another exit!
"And this escape route is actually at the far west end?"
In Han Shuo's mind, this was definitely a double blessing.
Because the passage they had been using was located to the east of the underground research institute.
Zombies are attacking this place right now; it's definitely the most dangerous spot.
The west side is different; that location is at the very back of the underground research institute, and it should be a relatively safer spot now.
Most importantly, because their residences were detached, they were located further inside, making them much closer to the escape route compared to most people.
The two of them only need to quickly return to their residence and take Li Shurou and the other two with them, and they will be able to evacuate from here in the shortest possible time.
"If we can survive, we can survive tonight!"
...
"Everyone, everyone, evacuate to the west immediately! There's an exit to the outside at the westernmost point..."
The emergency evacuation notice was repeated over the loudspeaker, and then it fell silent.
At this moment, the fat man's face was also filled with joy, and he excitedly turned his head and shouted.
"Han Shuo, did you hear that? Did you hear that? There's still an emergency escape route!"
Han Shuo was equally excited; his desire to live had always been very strong.
"I heard you, I heard you! Let's go back quickly and get Shurou and the others out of here!"
"good!"
As soon as the words fell, the two quickened their pace, running excitedly towards their residence.
Soon, Han Shuo passed through the entrance passage again.
He saw survivors fleeing westward in the distance, the scene was chaotic.
He also saw that Manager Wang was still standing near the door, swinging his fists and slaughtering the zombies in front of him.
However, the situation is indeed not optimistic.
Because the main gate in front had been lost, and the horde of corpses had poured out of the passage.
...
At this moment, Steward Wang was covered in wounds. There were simply too many zombies in front of him. Despite his formidable strength, he was still outnumbered.
Zombies kept pouring out from both sides in front, and the soldiers behind him had already suffered some losses.
"ah--!"
Suddenly, another shout came from the distance on the other side, and the zombies in the garage gradually poured out.
The next second, heart-wrenching cries reached Steward Wang's ears as ordinary survivors, who hadn't yet managed to leave their dwellings, began to die one after another...
"What!"
Manager Wang roared in anger. He hadn't expected that there would be zombies in the garage as well.
Despite his reluctance, he was powerless to offer assistance, for if his side were to fall completely, even more people would die.
"Ah—! Ah—! Ah…"
Screams echoed from afar. The moment the horde of corpses surged into the crowd, the ordinary survivors had absolutely no ability to resist.
Moreover, the horde of corpses also includes many alien species and many zombified beasts!
Clawed zombies, armored zombies, zombie wolves, zombie dogs... you name it!
These highly combat-effective infected creatures began their slaughter like tigers among sheep.
Chief Steward Wang knew that the situation was completely out of control, and he had naturally heard Yue Zongyang's emergency evacuation notice over the loudspeaker.
He knew what this meant; he knew that even the director had no chance of turning the tide at this moment.
Otherwise, the director wouldn't have initiated the final plan to preserve the offspring...
"Could the underground research institute be destroyed tonight?"
Steward Wang muttered a bitter sigh to himself, then his eyes hardened once more.
"Thump! Thump!"
With a punch to the left and a punch to the right, he blasted the heads of two zombies to pieces.
The next second, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Then let me fight here to the very end."
"Only in this way can more people be safely evacuated from the underground research institute..."
...
Han Shuo glanced at the figure in front of him with a complicated expression, and muttered to himself softly.
"Manager Wang, aren't we leaving...?"
The next second, when the fat man saw the extremely disheveled Steward Wang, he suddenly felt a pang of pity.
He became agitated and shouted anxiously ahead.
"Bald man! Baldy! Get out of here!"
In fact, although Fatty was openly dissatisfied with Steward Wang, deep down he still respected this hero who had been protecting the underground research institute.
Steward Wang did hear his shouts, but he did not respond to the two of them.
When Han Shuo saw that Chief Steward Wang not only showed no intention of retreating, but instead charged forward even more fiercely, he suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Yes, given Steward Wang's character, how could he possibly withdraw under these circumstances?"
"He wanted to buy more time for the others to retreat..."
The burly figure ahead grew increasingly ferocious, yet Han Shuo's eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
If Qingyu is the person he respects most here, then Steward Wang is the person he trusts most.
At this moment, after seeing the attitude of Steward Wang, Han Shuo had vaguely realized some things.
He glanced back and saw that the horde of corpses on the other side was getting closer and closer, so he didn't waste any more time in place.
"Let's go, Fatty, we need to hurry back!"
The fat man nodded, glanced at Steward Wang's retreating figure one last time with a reluctant look, and then followed Han Shuo from behind, continuing to run towards their residence.
...
On the way, Han Shuo kept thinking about the events of the night, from when they went to the battlefield to when the underground research institute was breached by the Death Legion. He carefully recalled everything that had happened.
Calming down, he felt that there were many things he couldn't understand during the battle with the Legion of Death tonight.
For example, why was Yue Zongyang only able to discover the zombie king when it arrived near the underground research institute?
For example, why did they lose so quickly on the front lines? Both of Yue Zongyang's trump cards were easily neutralized by the zombie king.
This feeling was as if the Zombie King was extremely familiar with the underground research institute's trump cards.
Han Shuo pondered this with some confusion, when suddenly he remembered a sentence from the broadcast earlier, the last sentence Yue Zongyang uttered:
"I, Yue Zongyang, will stay here to cover your retreat..."
He fell into deep thought, somewhat unsure of the meaning of the sentence.
