Seeing this, Vansa manipulated the stone bricks on the wall and built a stone slab under the pipe herself.
Part of the stone slab was connected to the pipes, and at the same time it was pressed against the zombie's body, making a 'splattering' sound.
No one dared to look down. When they caught a glimpse of the dark liquid around the stone slab, they gritted their teeth and quickly climbed over it.
Several researchers were quite frightened, especially the younger ones like Shi Lei, whose legs went weak with fear.
But to everyone's surprise, Professor Chen changed his mind about leaving immediately and tried to persuade Xiao Guo to take the mutated plants down below with him.
"Teacher..." Xiao Guo looked embarrassed.
Professor Chen was very excited: "How amazing! This is definitely a natural experimental material. Maybe studying mutated plants will be helpful for us to develop a zombie vaccine."
Wan Sha rolled her eyes. That old man!
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes.
It's just as disgusting. Whether it's their own world or other worlds, these researchers are always so arrogant and self-righteous.
Suddenly, Xiao Jin felt a hardness in his fist, as if something had occurred to him...
Xiao Guo continued to persuade Professor Chen: "Professor, that mutated plant is too dangerous."
“This is a necessary risk for research.” Professor Chen said with a serious expression, “There are man-eating zombies everywhere outside. Only by developing a zombie vaccine as soon as possible will our world have any hope of recovery.”
"Professor Chen!!" Wan Sha couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.
“I know you’re desperate to develop a zombie vaccine, but that mutated plant is not as simple as you think.”
She pointed to a mummified corpse lying in the office below and said, "Some people have already died at its hands. This time, only our team is responsible for escorting the researchers."
If anyone else dies, I cannot guarantee I can safely escort you to the Global Tower!
Upon hearing this, Professor Chen fell silent.
He's not afraid of danger, but that doesn't mean he's willing to die meaninglessly. Professor Chen even wants to develop a zombie vaccine.
If he were to truly die in Linhai, he would likely die with his eyes wide open in disbelief...
Seeing that his teacher had finally given up on that dangerous idea, Xiao Guo quickly urged everyone to leave.
Before long, they successfully escaped the research building.
With five more people suddenly joining the group, there weren't enough seats on the bus. Fortunately, there were plenty of cars on the road, so Liu Chong and Cen Nian went to look for some.
After a while, the two returned in a Jinbei van.
Professor Chen sat with Xiao Guo, taking An Xiang's place, while the four ordinary researchers sat in the Jinbei van, with Liu Chong driving.
Xiao Jin and Cen Nian drove their own car as usual, and had no intention of getting involved with the group.
After the researchers got on the bus, they immediately took the food and started eating heartily. Shi Lei choked on the bread, his eyes rolling back in his head, and he patted his chest vigorously.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group leaned back in their seats and fell into a deep sleep, only to be woken up two hours later.
"Have we arrived?" Shi Lei, still half asleep in the passenger seat, ruffled his hair.
Liu Chong on the other side nodded: "After we cross this street, the next intersection is it."
Needless to say, Shi Lei spotted the towering building not far away at a glance.
As one of the landmarks of Linhai City, Huanyu Building is located in the most prosperous part of the city center.
From the very beginning, the building housed many large companies and studios. With over a hundred floors, it was a prime location where every inch of land was incredibly valuable.
Although Shi Lei is not a local of Linhai, he is quite familiar with the building in the distance.
Actually, the World Trade Center Building also has another name: the Central Trade Center Building. If Xiao Jin heard that, she would definitely find it very familiar.
She is unaware of this yet.
………………
Soon, before the last rays of the setting sun had completely disappeared into the horizon...
The group then drove at high speed to the front of the towering Huanyu Building, which stood in the heart of the city.
The building's glass curtain wall shimmered with a cold light under the setting sun, like a sleeping behemoth.
After steadily turning off the car, the tires made a slight "sizzling" sound as they rubbed against the ground, and then Xiao Jin and his group got out of the car quickly and in an orderly manner.
Professor Chen and several other researchers were still in the car, while the rest of the people got out to clear out the zombies.
At this moment, countless zombies were wandering around the front of the building, staggering, but becoming excited as soon as they sensed the presence of humans.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Jin glanced around and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
Previously, in the narrow pipes of the research building, everyone was like a caged beast, unable to fully unleash their power.
They were so restrained, afraid that they might accidentally attract more zombies, and the oppressive feeling almost suffocated them.
Xiao Jin was the same; she was getting annoyed to death.
But now, standing in the plaza of the World Tower, surrounded by boundless open space, they could finally unleash their full potential without any worries!
"Go!" With a low roar, the group shot into the zombie encirclement like arrows.
Blades flashed, and various supernatural abilities danced in the air; every strike was precise and deadly.
The zombies fell one after another under the attack of the group, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Xiao Jin took the lead, her gaze sweeping across every corner like a radar, locking onto the more difficult-to-deal-with advanced zombies.
She moved nimbly, like a ghost, across the battlefield, and with a few swift movements, Xiao Jin collected several crystal cores.
Cen Nian was not to be outdone. This little brat was even more ruthless, stealing kills.
The number of zombies needed to complete the mission was still far from enough, so Cen Nian naturally wouldn't let the surrounding zombies go.
The light in his eyes was brighter than ever, and he wielded the stick with incredible speed and precision.
Even when stealing kills, one must be selective about who to target. Cen Nian didn't steal from anyone else, but she specifically chose to steal from Lu Jiawei.
Whenever a zombie was about to be killed by Lu Jiawei, he would always cleverly insert himself from the side, deliver the final blow, and snatch the crystal core that the zombie was about to obtain.
"You..." This behavior was undoubtedly the biggest provocation to Lu Jiawei, making the latter so angry that he jumped up and down, but he was helpless.
He realized that not only could he not beat the pretty boy surnamed Wen, but this little brat also had strange strength.
Damn it, I don't know where these scoundrels came from. If they're so capable, why don't they go to the capital's safe zone? Why do they have to stay holed up in this little shabby temple?
Lu Jiawei also came to his senses. He had always sensed a sense of unease about Xiao Jin, a sense of unease he had seen in Wang Zixuan before.
No wonder these two know each other!
Just as everyone was immersed in this exhilarating battle, a sudden change disrupted the original rhythm.
