“Woo…”

The girl with twin ponytails lying on the cold floor slowly opened her eyes and looked around. All she could see was darkness.

"Where is this... where are we..."

While muttering to herself, the girl with twin ponytails sat up and shook her head which was still aching.

"By the way, we were previously... told by the Umbrella people... where is this place?!"

The originally vague memory gradually became clear, and then, the girl with twin ponytails was startled, stood up and looked around. At the same time, the other two people beside her also woke up slowly.

"Ouch... my head hurts..."

"What's going on..."

"Rei! Shizuka-sensei!"

The girl with twin ponytails also hurried over to them and pulled them up.

"Are you all right?"

"It's okay... Where is this place?"

"What happened?"

"I don't know either."

In response to the two people's questions, the girl with twin ponytails shook her head.

"I just remember that we were caught by the Umbrella soldiers and threatened Xiao, and then..."

“Crack!”

Before the girl with the twin ponytails finished speaking, the originally dark space suddenly became bright. The sudden light made the three of them raise their hands to cover their eyes. Then, they heard footsteps, and then a man's voice echoed in their ears.

"Oh, I really didn't expect to see the three of you here."

“This voice…”

Hearing the man's voice, the other girl with long golden hair suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction of the voice. Then, her expression suddenly changed!

“Wisteria!!”

While roaring, the blonde girl rushed towards the man, clenched her right hand into a fist, and swung it towards his face. But before she could hit the man, with a "bang", her fist hit the transparent bulletproof glass in front of the man. Only then did everyone realize that they were imprisoned in a glass cage. But even so, the blonde girl still gritted her teeth and glared at the man fiercely.

"You bastard...!! How dare you show up in front of me!!"

"Isn't this Miyamoto Rei-san?"

Looking at the expression of the blonde girl, the man who looked like an elite white-collar worker and was called Zitong by her loosened his tie and revealed a smug smile.

"I didn't expect you to be still alive..."

"Why are you here!?"

"You still don't know after reading it?"

As he spoke, Shido opened his arms and showed everyone the red and white umbrella logo on his chest. Seeing this logo, the blonde girl's face became gloomy again.

"You...you have joined the umbrella protection team?"

"No, no, no, it's wrong for you to say that, Miyamoto Rei-san."

Hearing Miyamoto Rei's answer, Shido smiled and shook her finger.

"I didn't 'join' Umbrella because I was originally an employee of Umbrella... Do you understand what I mean?"

“Wh…what?!”

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked. Even the most mature-looking woman in a white coat couldn't help but look at the man in front of them in surprise.

"Could it be that..."

"Yes, it's just as you thought, Mr. Marikawa."

Looking at the expressions of the three people with satisfaction, Zi Teng grinned and revealed a smug smile.

"I was the one who released the virus at Fujimi Academy. Oh my... That was such an unforgettable and wonderful scene. Although I have done this experiment countless times, the feeling of actually seeing the world enter destruction... It really couldn't be better..."

“Ah…Ah…”

Seeing Zi Teng's twisted smile, the girl with twin ponytails took two steps back and sat on the ground. The other two were also extremely surprised. The blonde girl clenched her fists and stared at him fiercely.

"You bastard...Father will never let you go!"

"Your father...ah, there is such a clown, but unfortunately, what can he do now?"

Opening his arms, Zi Teng looked proudly at the blonde girl in front of him.

"Now, the original order of this world has been destroyed. The country, the government, everything is over! And we, Umbrella, will become the masters of the new world! Your father is nothing but an ant in front of Umbrella. He once tried his best to hinder our plans, but unfortunately, he was simply a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating his own capabilities."

“You…you…”

"Okay, I'm not here to talk nonsense with you."

Zi Teng put down his hands and looked at the three people.

"Well, Takagi Saya, Miyamoto Rei, Marikawa Shizuka, I can give you a chance to choose... If you are willing to kneel at my feet and become my slaves, then I will consider sparing your lives, how about it?"

"You... are despicable! Mingming Xiao has already made an agreement with the Umbrella Protection Team. As long as he works for the Umbrella Protection Team, the Umbrella Protection Team will let us go!"

Hearing this, the twintails couldn't help but scream and shout, while Shido shrugged her shoulders.

"But unfortunately, Mr. Komuro's actions did not satisfy the Umbrella, so... I'm sorry, the deal failed. If you don't want to, then..."

As he spoke, Zi Teng stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

“Squeak—”

Soon, the next moment, the three of them saw the "glass cage" they were in being lifted up, slowly rising into the air, and moving to the other side. And there was a huge city model. Not only that, at the entrance of the city model, there was also a huge iron cage, in which tens of thousands of zombies were wandering around, wailing, and making terrifying sounds.

"If you don't agree, then you will have to participate in the next game of 'hide and seek'. As long as you can escape the zombies in this city and find the exit, you can leave here smoothly. But... can you three do it?"

"dream!!"

The blonde girl growled at Shido's smug smile.

"Even if I die, I will never submit to you!"

"...I expected this a long time ago. What about you two?"

Zi Teng didn't seem surprised by the blonde girl's answer. He shrugged and looked at the other two people. In response to Zi Teng's question, the two looked at each other and shook their heads.

"A mean and ugly man like you is not my type!!"

"I'm sorry, I don't have any interest in you either."

"……Yeah."

After hearing the answers from the three people, Zi Teng's smile froze slightly.

"In that case, I will come and have a good 'chat' with you after you become zombies."

After saying this, Zi Teng walked to the console next to him under the protection of two soldiers. Then he reached out and pressed the red button on it.

“Beep…beep…”

With the sound of the alarm, several glass cages similar to the one Twintails were transported from all directions, and then placed in twos and threes on the streets and squares of this "city". Soon, everything returned to calm again. Except for those glass cages, everything around was quite normal, and it looked like a real city.

The next moment, the originally tightly closed cell door suddenly opened.

“This, this is…”

Looking at the open cell door in front of them, the three hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked out. The street they were on was deserted and looked as if it had been abandoned. The next moment, everyone clearly heard the noise and bustle coming from afar. They turned their heads and looked behind them, and then their faces suddenly changed!

“Run!!”

At the end of the street behind the three people, countless zombies were screaming and rushing towards them crazily. They were like a group of mad hungry wolves with red light in their eyes, rushing towards their prey! !

"Quick, quick, get out of here!!"

Looking at this large group of zombies, the three of them were horrified. They turned around quickly and ran forward desperately.

Although the three of them had already exerted their fastest speed beyond their usual speed due to fear and the desire to survive, the zombies were much faster than them. Not only that...

"oops!!"

With a scream, the woman in the white coat among the three screamed and fell to the ground. The other two were shocked when they saw this scene.

"Teacher Shizuka!!"

“Leave me alone, go away, don’t…Ahhhhhh!!”

However, before she could finish her words, a zombie pounced on the woman, bit her neck, and tore off her flesh. The intense pain made the woman scream. At the same time, the other zombies quickly surrounded her like sharks smelling blood, and wrapped her up. Before long, the woman's screams were completely swallowed up by the zombies' roars...

“Run!!”

"Um!!"

Seeing their teacher die like this, the two of them were deeply saddened, but even so, they still did not slow down, but continued to run forward. Soon, the two ran to the corner at the end, and then the twin ponytails seemed to think of something, and turned and rushed to the other side.

"We can go around this way..."

“Puff.”

At this moment, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared, and the next moment the head of the girl with twin ponytails flew into the air, and then fell to the ground with blood. Her body ran forward two steps, and then fell to the ground.

"Takagi-san!!"

Looking at the scene in front of her, the blonde girl screamed, but when she saw clearly the murderer who killed her companion, the blonde girl couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

"Why... is it you?!"
