Chapter 255 It's Really Over

The mutant zombie in the experimental cell looked up to the sky and roared long and loudly: "Ho——"

The noise was so deafening that the police officers on the scene were terrified and retreated all the way to the intersection.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The leader looked at Shen Linglan and asked uncertainly: "Is it calling the zombies? But where are these zombies coming from——"

Before the policeman finished speaking, he suddenly heard a burst of commotion coming from all around him. The noise was getting louder and louder, as if there was a chaos somewhere.

"What is this?"

"What happened outside!?"

The policemen subconsciously huddled together with their backs against each other, as if they were all afraid of something unknown not far away. They were even more afraid that it was the group of zombies that Shen Linglan had mentioned, which were called by the mutated zombies.

The mutant zombie closed the experimental cell with a snap. Before it closed the door, it looked at them with hatred, especially when it looked at Shen Linglan, as if it wanted to eat her alive.

Shen Linglan indifferently withdrew her gaze from the mutated zombie. She still didn't know whether the mutated zombie called the group of zombies to trap them or for some other reason. But no matter what it was, she couldn't let the group of zombies get close to the mutated zombie.

Just then, Minister Song's cell phone rang.

The deafening ringing sound of the cell phone attracted the attention of everyone present. After the call was connected, everyone held their breath and dared not move. The scene was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a silver needle falling.

So much so that they could hear the voice on the other end of the phone clearly.

"Minister, it's bad. The zombies in the prison are holding on to the iron bars and shaking them non-stop, as if they are going to shake the iron bars of the cell down--"

It was obvious that the person on the other end was a young prison guard who had been pushed out. When he reported to Minister Song, the fear in his voice could not deceive anyone. While he was shouting, footsteps could be heard. It was unclear whether he was going to check the situation in the cell or running out of the cell.

"Don't worry, the iron fence should be able to--"

Minister Song hadn't finished his words of comfort when another heart-wrenching voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, interrupting Minister Song's words without any courtesy: "A zombie rushed out!!!"

Minister Song's face turned pale, and his voice trembled as he spoke, "Out? Are there really zombies coming out of the cell? Even iron bars can't hold them back!"

"There is one. It is very tall and very strong. It seems to be coming towards you. Please - ah -"

The young prison guard screamed, and then there was a chewing sound, as if he was gnawing on ribs. A cell phone fell to the floor, and the shattering sound woke up everyone present.

"He was eaten by zombies?!"

Someone in the crowd asked in horror.

But no one could answer this question, but soon someone raised a new question.

"Ah——that monster is really calling the zombies. There are people, no, there are zombies coming here. What should we do now?!"

After Minister Song hung up the phone, she hesitated for a moment while holding the phone. She turned to her assistant and said, "Completely lock the prison gate and activate the electric shock mode. We can't let any zombies leave the prison!"

The assistant responded and ran to the prison gate through the alley without delay.

After the assistant disappeared, Minister Song turned around and asked Shen Linglan, "Linglan, do you have any ideas?"

Shen Linglan withdrew her gaze from the closed cell door and looked at the terrified expressions of the people, and finally looked at Minister Song.

"Mutated zombies have the ability to call upon a group of zombies to charge unconditionally for them. They can break through iron bars, so they may be able to break through prison gates. So we must first prevent more and more prisoners from becoming zombies."

As she spoke, she took out a box of medicine from her bag and handed it to Minister Song, saying, "The person bitten will completely turn into a corpse after 24 hours, especially after eating human flesh. But as long as this medicine is injected within 24 hours, the progress of corpse transformation can be suppressed."

Minister Song recalled that Shen Linglan had asked them to separate the bitten people from the corpses last night. "There are no zombies in the women's prison yet. The people who were separated last night were sent to the women's prison."

"Then let's go there first!" Shen Linglan glanced at Zhang Shengnan and said, "It's difficult to transform a zombie that has already completely turned into a zombie. But Professor Zhang can take samples on site for experiments, and maybe there will be some progress."

"Okay, let's go to the women's prison!"

As Minister Song spoke, his eyes unconsciously fell on the bodyguard whose palm had just been bitten off.

When he was first bitten, he fell to the ground in pain. Fortunately, Zhang Shengnan injected him with a sedative and a zombie virus inhibitor in time. Now, apart from his pale face due to excessive blood loss, he has no other signs of zombie transformation.

Minister Song took a look at him and confirmed that he didn't have a single red blood streak. Then he said to Shen Linglan sincerely, "Thank you, Linglan."

Finally, Minister Song asked the police to detain his bodyguards to ensure that he could keep up with the team.

"I'm afraid this place will be flooded with zombies soon. I wonder if this place can be locked up to prevent the zombies from rushing in—" Shen Linglan looked around. Although there were no zombies around, a faint stench was drifting in the air. "They are getting closer and closer to us."

"There are three doors leading out of the men's prison. The second one is electrified. If you open it and touch the iron door, you will get an electric shock. However, based on the habits of the zombies, they will probably be electrocuted to death."

The warden's eyes fell on the main gate not far away, and he turned back and asked Shen Linglan in a respectful tone, "Do you want to open it?"

What's the difference between electrocuting a zombie and blowing up an entire prison?

Before Shen Linglan shook her head, Zhang Shengnan seemed to sense the same idea as Shen Linglan. She went up to check the control switch of the electric meter on the wall, then turned back to the warden and said, "Can this limit the current? If it is controlled between 100 volts and 99 volts, the zombies will not be electrocuted, but will lose the ability to move or even faint."

"Can!"

The warden waved his hand and asked the young prison guard to go forward and fiddle with the switch. Shen Linglan turned around and asked the warden, "Is there a secret way to get to the women's prison?"

The warden nodded and said yes, then hurriedly led the way.

The prison is not small. On the way to the women's prison, Shen Linglan saw Minister Song clenching and unclenching her fists. She couldn't help but comfort her, "Minister Song, what are you worried about?"

Minister Song looked up at Shen Linglan, "The higher-ups know about this. If it's not resolved within 48 hours, or if the zombies get out of the prison, then this prison will be blown up."

In front of Shen Linglan, or perhaps in front of everyone else, she always acted like a strong woman, but now her voice was inevitably a little timid, "Some people can go back to continue their lives after being locked up for three to five years, but they might be blown to pieces by a bomb in two days."

Minister Song sighed as he walked.

Shen Linglan could hear her reluctance but said nothing.

Yes, even a life sentence would only be 20 years if he turned into a complete zombie, if Zhang Shengnan couldn't make an antidote, if the people above decided to abandon the entire prison.

Then this group of people are truly "finished".
