With the help of the male protagonist system, Gu Qingqiu successfully purchased an invisibility item with a ten-minute duration and a powerful hammer, and successfully smashed open the door to run towards the laboratory.
The loud banging on the door was obviously easy for those nearby to hear, but whether it attracted people or zombies was unknown. Gu Qingqiu didn't care about that now; she clutched her stomach and ran wildly toward the laboratory.
Fortunately, the lock on the lab door was not damaged, but there were several marks on the door indicating that it had been smashed. It's unclear whether the person who smashed the door eventually realized that there was no one inside and gave up.
Gu Qingqiu opened the door and locked it as quickly as possible, then turned on the powerful flashlight she had just bought from the system store and shone it into the laboratory.
The computer had stopped working long ago due to the power outage, but fortunately Gu Qingqiu had memorized all the data. She came here to find the level four zombie crystal core, and thankfully it was still safely in the container.
Gu Qingqiu opened the freezer, but unfortunately it had stopped cooling, and she wondered if this would affect the effectiveness of the items. She took out two test tubes labeled "Luo Ze'en," containing blood that looked rather stale.
Please! Gu Qingqiu prayed in her heart that the blood of mutants was different from that of ordinary people. Now she had no other way out. The blood that had been preserved by other methods was stored in other laboratories, but it was obviously unrealistic to go and look for it now.
...
Lozen crawled in the dark for about two hours. After crawling for about ten minutes, the pipe suddenly widened, and he could even hear other people's voices.
Remembering Gu Qingqiu's warning, Luo Ze'en silently quickened his crawling speed; in the darkness, only his breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
Will she survive? Luo Ze'en wasn't sure. He found himself constantly restless, his mind filled with Gu Qingqiu's exhausted appearance.
Gu Qingqiu didn't lie to Luo Ze'en. When he climbed to the end of the tunnel, he really saw the outdoor settlement of the South Base. There were already a few people scattered inside. When they saw Luo Ze'en's face, their expressions instantly became somewhat wary, and they seemed to be about to attack.
Lozen glanced at their frail appearance and mocked, "You bunch of people who haven't awakened any superpowers, do you really think you can be my match? Please know your place. I could crush you with a single finger right now."
They dared not speak, and continued to look at Lozen with wary eyes.
Suddenly someone spoke up: "This barbaric superhuman can find our secret passage. I wonder which doctor or officer he kidnapped to find it. This passage is probably not safe now. Let's seal it up as soon as possible. It would be bad if zombies crawled out of it."
Gu Qingqiu guessed right again. Human nature is truly terrifying.
Previously, Luo Ze'en always thought Gu Qingqiu was cold-blooded, unreasonable, and disregarded human life, but now Luo Ze'en realized that Gu Qingqiu was probably the person in the entire South Base who most wanted to save humanity's fate. So he sneered, blocked the passage, and shouted, "Let's see who dares to come over!"
So no one dared to cause trouble again. Time passed by, and more than a dozen people gradually crawled out of the passage. Their expressions were not good. The last three people who came out were covered in blood.
Upon seeing the bloodstains, everyone immediately backed away in fright, shouting, "Don't come any closer! Where did you get these injuries?"
Although Lozen didn't move, his expression wasn't good either. If the wound was caused by a zombie, then these three people were very likely already infected and might soon be transformed into zombies.
The three of them started crying and trying to justify themselves, saying that their wounds were caused by metal cuts in the tunnel and that they had not been injured by zombies.
A group of people started ordering them to take off their clothes to prove their wounds, and started arguing about who should come forward to examine their injuries.
In an instant, three crisp gunshots rang out, and the three men who had been trying their best to prove their innocence just a second ago fell to the ground.
The scene was completely silent. A man who had raised a gun said tremblingly, "I...I did this for everyone's safety..."
Some people's eyes revealed pity, some people's eyes revealed disgust, and some people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but no one dared to approach the three people who had already fallen in a pool of blood.
In the end, Lozen went to collect some leaves and branches to cover them, which served as a way of burying their bodies.
At the same time, Lozen was not going to stay with this group anymore. If they were lucky, they might survive, but if they were unlucky, it would be retribution for their killing and standing by.
Lozen suddenly missed Gu Qingqiu, but the wilderness was too dangerous now. He ran wildly up a mountain and looked out from there, discovering that the South Base was completely surrounded by a group of zombies. Moreover, there was a horde of zombies surging towards the South Base in the distance.
Under such an offensive, it was only a matter of time before the South Base could hold out. Lozen felt a wave of despair. Another human base was about to fall. Could humanity really survive? Did humanity even have a tomorrow?
Lozen has always been very good at surviving in the wild. He found non-poisonous edible plants in the mountains and even hunted a rabbit. At night, the temperature in the mountains dropped sharply, and Lozen found a hidden cave to hide in. He also made some camouflage at the entrance to protect himself from wild animals.
Zombies don't usually appear in such high mountains. Their mobility is limited, and they won't abandon the flat land of the South Base to climb the mountain. So, the biggest danger for Lozen now is the wild animals in the mountains.
During the brief moment of peace, Luo Ze'en couldn't help but think of Gu Qingqiu again. Several hours had passed since he left the South Base. Could Gu Qingqiu still be in her room?
With his eyes closed, Lozen controlled his consciousness, transforming it into a streak of white light and flying swiftly towards the South Base.
A moment later, Lozen opened his eyes and felt as if his heart was about to stop.
Because within his field of vision, there were actually several zombies.
