Chapter 304 An Unsettling Aura
Soon, the half-corpse man collected the turbid liquid on the ground, and the zombie king put away the bottle containing the liquid without even looking at it.
Then, he looked at the entrance to the underground research institute's passageway.
"Hmph! Yue Zongyang, do you really think you're safe just by hiding underground?"
"I said before that I would never allow myself to be defeated in this battle."
"Just wait, you just wait and see. We'll meet again soon!"
...
Meanwhile, at a location tens of kilometers away from the underground research institute.
A white figure traversed through a horde of corpses.
With a wave of his hand, he slaughtered the surrounding zombies with his two short blades.
It was the man in white, that powerful and mysterious man.
He reappeared.
Just last night, after discovering that the Zombie King had emerged from the Zombie City, he resumed his pursuit.
However, for some unknown reason, the zombie king seemed to have known his hiding place all along, and the moment he set off, he was entangled by a large horde of zombies.
With the white-clad man's formidable strength, those zombies posed no threat to him, but they did hinder his pursuit.
And so he continued to pursue the zombie king in the direction it was heading, constantly encountering obstacles along the way.
...
The man in white quickly cleared away the zombies in front of him.
At that moment, two giant mutants charged at him from the left and right sides of the horde of corpses.
The man in white showed no expression. After dodging the attack, he quickly climbed up the giant zombie's arm.
In a short time, he climbed up to the giant zombie's shoulder.
The next second, he gripped the short blade tightly with both hands and spun his body rapidly.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
The light from the short blade refracted continuously under the moonlight, and the man in white seemed to transform into a spinning top with a sharp blade. In just a moment, he severed the giant zombie's neck!
He was incredibly strong; killing giant zombies was like killing chickens.
In this way, he dealt with another giant zombie in the same manner and then leaped off its shoulder.
Upon landing, the man in white did not linger and headed straight towards the underground research institute.
Behind him, countless zombie corpses lay on the ground, all of them killed by his short blade.
"I don't know if I'll make it in time..."
...
Meanwhile, in the director's office.
"Smack!"
Manager Wang pushed open the door and ran inside, slightly out of breath.
He said anxiously, "Chief, do we still have a chance in this battle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Zongyang stood up from his chair.
Sigh~
He sighed, then continued.
"Wang Zhen, our chances of winning are probably slim."
After saying this, Steward Wang trembled slightly. He was extremely unwilling and his expression was somewhat disappointed.
"Chief, is there really no other way?"
Yue Zongyang felt somewhat relieved at this moment. He walked up to Wang Zhen and patted him on the shoulder.
"We can't get out now. The outside is completely surrounded by zombies. I really have no other choice."
He paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued to comfort him.
"However, I won't give up. The zombie king shouldn't be able to break in here for a while. If I can repair the lost satellite in the meantime, maybe we'll still have a chance to turn things around."
The zombie king's satellite intrusion caught Yue Zongyang completely off guard.
In the underground research institute, many weapons are launched by satellite targeting, and currently, all of these weapons are unusable.
That's why the people on the front lines were defeated so quickly, so quickly that they had to retreat back to the underground research institute before the zombie king even appeared.
...
"real!?"
A light rekindled in Steward Wang's dejected eyes.
Although the situation is becoming increasingly dire, he will not give up as long as there is even the slightest chance.
"Chief, I trust you! Just tell me what you need me to do next, and I, Wang Zhen, will do my utmost!"
Yue Zongyang nodded. He noticed that there was some blood seeping through the back of Wang Zhen's clothes.
He knew that the wound Wang Zhen had sustained earlier had not fully healed, and with the continuous fighting on the front lines, it had reopened.
“Wang Zhen…”
Yue Zongyang originally wanted Wang Zhen to go back and rest, but as the words were about to come out, he suddenly felt uneasy.
"Strange? Is there something else I haven't thought of? Why do I suddenly feel a sense of unease..."
It was this feeling of unease that prevented him from saying the rest of his words.
"Hmm? Chief, what's wrong?"
Steward Wang looked at him with suspicion.
The next moment, Yue Zongyang frowned, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Alright then, Wang Zhen, please take this opportunity to work a little harder. To be on the safe side, let's prepare the final plan in advance."
"You, take some people and start making arrangements..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Wang's expression changed instantly.
He naturally knew what the final solution was.
Although he was very puzzled, he didn't ask Yue Zongyang for the reason when he saw his gloomy expression.
"Yes, Chief! I understand..."
...
On the other side, Han Shuo and the other two dragged their battered bodies toward their residence.
On the way, the three chatted briefly before Han Shuo asked a question.
"By the way, how much turbid liquid did you two steal just now?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man clearly became excited and quickly spoke up.
"Oh dear, what do you mean by 'robbery'? We clearly risked our lives to pick it up, okay? Calling it 'robbery' sounds rude."
Han Shuo glanced at him but didn't bother to pay him any attention.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao lowered his head and took out a bottle from his pocket and handed it over.
He said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Brother Han, I only picked up 10 drops just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man stopped fooling around. Although he wasn't as agile as Xiao Zhao, he was much smarter.
Before they left, when everyone was collecting the turbid liquid, he didn't even glance at the low-danger-level alien corpses on the ground, such as the clawed zombies, armored zombies, etc.
He specifically chose to dig up the corpses of the intelligent zombies.
This is because these different species produce more turbid fluid after death, with each one containing as many as 5 drops of turbid fluid.
Then, the fat man puffed out his chest and pulled out a glass bottle containing turbid liquid from his pocket, and then said proudly.
"Little Zhao, learn from me, Fatty Brother picked up 15 drops."
"Wow! Fatty, you're amazing!" Little Zhao exclaimed in admiration, like a little fanboy.
Soon, both of them turned their gazes to Han Shuo.
"Oh? You two both had a pretty good haul."
Although he said that, he was secretly delighted.
Because he collected even more turbid liquid before he left!
"Hurry up and tell me how much you picked up," the fat man urged anxiously from the side.
"Cough, cough."
Han Shuo coughed twice, putting on a calm expression, and then coldly uttered a few words.
"27 drops!"
