The group quickly slid down the tunnel. Mu Wenxi had prepared herself just before landing and landed in a perfect pose. But Yuan Jin behind her reacted too late and fell flat on his face. He got up and rubbed his butt, which hurt a little.
It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see anything.
Yuan Jin: "Hiss, are you all here?"
Fortunately, the others were prepared, and Mu Wenxi took out a flashlight from her bag and handed one to Yuan Jin.
Qin Lun was omitted because Qin Lun's night vision was already excellent, and he could see his surroundings clearly without a flashlight.
As soon as Yuan Jin behind him turned on his flashlight, a beam of light shone on the ground, startling him so much that he took two steps back. He moved the flashlight around to look at his surroundings and was instantly shocked, even feeling a physiological urge to vomit. He involuntarily exclaimed, "My God!"
Yu Chaoyang also took a deep breath and carefully observed the surrounding environment. The place where they landed looked like a circular transit station, with several doors around it that seemed to lead to different locations.
The ground was littered with corpses in a corner. Most of the corpses were wearing work clothes, and some even had name tags hanging on their chests, suggesting they were former employees of the place.
Mu Wenxi took a few steps closer and observed the state of these people's deaths: "These people look like they were poisoned."
Yuan Jin leaned over for a glance, then quickly looked away. The way the people had died was too gruesome, and the smell made him feel nauseous.
The female zombie was standing at the entrance of a passageway, trying to get them to come this way.
The group followed the female zombie for a while, and soon the passage came to an end, where there was an iron gate that was about two meters wide and two meters high.
Yuan Jin: "How do we get in?"
Yu Chaoyang: "There is a machine here."
The female zombie took out the card that everyone had just seen, swiped it on the machine next to the iron gate, and the iron gate slowly opened to both sides. The inside was pitch black, which made people feel scared. After exchanging glances, everyone cautiously walked in.
As soon as Mu Wenxi entered, she looked around and felt that the place was very familiar, but she had never been here before. After thinking about it carefully, the layout of the place seemed to be somewhat similar to the experimental base in the neighboring city.
She thought to herself, "Could this be another experimental base?"
The female zombie made a sound at them while gesturing with her hands.
Qin Lun acted as translator: "She said she escaped from here."
Mu Wenxi's face showed horror in the darkness, her voice trembling slightly: "What did she say?"
Yu Chaoyang noticed her unusual behavior and approached her: "What's wrong?"
Mu Wenxi explained to the others, "This female zombie said she escaped from here."
Yu Chaoyang's expression changed slightly as she recalled what Mu Wenxi had told her about the lab, and she immediately understood.
"You mean these zombies might have escaped from the lab, and the mutations might be man-made? If we're going to be even bolder, the so-called apocalypse might not be the end of the world at all."
Yuan Jin looked confused: "Why do I not quite understand what you're saying?"
Mu Wenxi: "I just hope it doesn't turn out like this."
The group continued walking forward, and the rooms on both sides resembled prisons.
Just as Qin Lun was about to remind them not to look, the group shone their flashlights into the room.
The iron cages were filled with all sorts of strange and ferocious monsters.
Mu Wenxi: "Don't look at them."
Yu Chaoyang and Yuan Jin turned deathly pale. Weren't these the very zombies they were so familiar with?
They immediately moved the flashlight away, but the light seemed to have affected the iron cage that had been illuminated.
The zombies inside suddenly seemed to come alive, becoming restless, searching for scents, and starting to gnaw at the iron bars, making a piercing sound.
The zombies in the other cages seemed to be affected by the noise and began to struggle.
The group could only keep running forward, hoping to get out of the passage as soon as possible. The female zombie roared behind her and led them to the side.
The others quickly followed the female zombie, who was very familiar with the environment and soon led them to the elevator.
Mu Wenxi: "The layout here is similar to the experimental base that Qin Lun and I discovered in another city."
The group remained in the cramped elevator, still shaken, when the elevator made a "ding" sound and arrived at the next floor.
The female zombie was the first to walk out, and the moment Mu Wenxi stepped out of the elevator, she realized that this was a laboratory.
Before them were various high-end precision instruments used for experiments, but the environment was somewhat messy, with experimental equipment scattered on the ground, broken glass, and a row of haphazardly arranged display cases not far away.
This place seems to have been destroyed long ago.
"This is actually a laboratory."
"Let's split up and search for any key information. Be careful on your own."
The group began searching the laboratory, hoping to find something.
Qin Lun stared at the scene before him, his eyes flashing with overwhelming hatred. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't be in this state now, neither human nor ghost. His current wretched state and suffering were all because of that man, all because of those people.
The familiar instruments displayed in the laboratory reminded Qin Lun of what had happened before, or more precisely, when he was reborn shortly after his first death.
He was clearly dead, dead in a pile of zombies, but when he opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling, he had some doubts. Wasn't he dead?
He thought he was dead, but when he looked around at the unfamiliar environment, he felt a bit scared. His body was lying on the platform, and his hands and feet were bound and restrained by professional chains.
There were some strange instruments around, and looking up, you could see a group of people dressed in white walking in through a transparent glass window.
They wore protective masks and special protective clothing, their faces indifferent, looking at him as if he were a plate of food.
One of them placed a plate full of tools on the operating table next to him. One second Qin Lun was curious and scared, the next second the other person took a syringe and stabbed it hard into Qin Lun's arm.
Qin Lun's pupils dilated instantly, and his body began to struggle involuntarily.
The man spoke in a cold voice: "Begin injecting snow leopard genes, level A, day one."
Qin Lun didn't understand what that meant, but he gradually felt his consciousness becoming somewhat confused and his body experiencing abnormal pain, as if he were being roasted over a fire, feeling intensely hot and scorched.
His consciousness gradually faded, and he slowly floated into the air. He saw a group of people in front of him conducting strange research and examinations on his body.
Every day, someone comes to monitor and check his data at set times.
