Chapter 3. Predators.
No matter how Shu Lan struggled on the bed, Dr. Zhao, who was standing beside the bed, remained unmoved. He took out a syringe filled with a light blue unknown liquid from a row of white cans.
Shu Lan was really panicked. She just wanted to come here to get some food. She never thought that a nationally protected experimental base would treat living people as guinea pigs!
She twisted her waist and kicked her legs, protesting with all her might: "Stop it! I'm just eating your meal, I'm going to spit it out! I'm not going to do this anymore!"
Dr. Zhao ignored all the noise and, like an incorruptible executioner, lifted the hem of Shu Lan's clothes. A scanner-like machine was moving horizontally across Shu Lan's belly.
A laser beam fell on her lower abdomen, and Shu Lan felt as if there was a burning spot in her lower abdomen.
Someone covered her mouth, and someone else held her limbs down. The thin needle in Dr. Zhao's hand finally hung above the position marked by the laser.
Just as the stinging sensation of a sharp weapon piercing the skin was felt, a huge explosion sounded in everyone's ears. The ground suddenly began to shake violently, and the instruments hanging above everyone's heads also shook, and their feet became unstable at the same time.
Earthquake?
As they staggered, Shu Lan, who was lying on the bed, was the most stable. She pulled her arm free, snatched the syringe from Dr. Zhao's hand, and punched him hard in the face.
You old thing, you treat people like non-human beings and still say you want to give hope to the survivors. What hope do you have!
Shu Lan didn't know if this punch was harmful enough. She only knew that the finger bones she hit on Dr. Zhao's glasses frame hurt.
Shu Lan withdrew her hand with a grin, raised her foot and kicked the person in the stomach. Now her feet were free. She immediately turned over, rolled off the operating table, and stumbled towards the door as the ground shook.
"Catch her!"
After Shu Lan ran out of the operating room, she saw the door at the end of the corridor was open. The ground was wet, and the experimenter inside was crawling out using his hands and feet, shouting, "Dr. Zhao! The predator is out!"
A silver-white electric current appeared from behind him. The experimenter's hands and feet twitched violently, and smoke came out of his hair. He fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Shu Lan had seen this scene before, the thunder-related ability!
What does predator mean?
"roar--"
A hoarse roar like that of a wild beast was heard in the distance. Shu Lan had also heard this sound. It was not a herd of beasts, but zombies infected with the virus gathered together and sounded the horn of attack on humans.
The entire building echoed with alarms, gunshots, and announcements rang out simultaneously: "Zombie waves are approaching, zombie waves are approaching, the entire base has entered a level one alert state, those with special abilities please come out and fight quickly, those without special abilities please enter the air-raid shelter."
The earthquake and the zombies appeared simultaneously, and behind her were the white coats chasing her to breed her. Shu Lan had no time to think, she found the safe staircase at the end of the corridor and almost ran and jumped down the stairs as fast as she could.
Outside the laboratory building, there were people running around, some in military uniforms, some in white coats, and some in casual clothes. Shu Lan was running around in the crowd, occasionally bumping into others accidentally. No one had time to apologize.
She ran to the gate in a panic, but found that the gate was covered with an electric fence and she couldn't get out.
It is not suitable to go out now. Judging from the noise, there are zombies everywhere outside. The base is actually the safest place. But if she stays, she might be dragged away by that white-haired old monkey for breeding.
Shu Lan was at a loss when someone in the lab building shouted, "All psychics, take cover! The predators are out!"
Predator, there's that word again.
They just let the psychics come out to fight, and now they are asking them to hide. What is going on in this base?
Shu Lan found a secluded corner to squat, and cautiously stuck her head out to observe the situation outside. Only then did she realize that she was still holding the syringe she had snatched from Dr. Zhao.
Throw away this harmful ghost thing...
"boom!"
The explosion in Shu Lan's ears made her head buzz. After the tinnitus subsided, all her thoughts became blank.
The heat wave hit her in the face, and Shu Lan ducked her head to avoid the sparks falling from the sky. A piece of burning metal electric fence fell at her feet.
Zombies are invulnerable to pain and will not die. Even if riddled with bullets or broken limbs, as long as their muscles can still move, they will pounce on humans at top speed. Electric shocks disrupt the zombies' nervous system, causing their muscles to atrophy. Electric grids are the best defense against their advances.
So when Shu Lan saw the fragments of the power grid, she wanted to curse: Which traitor's father threw the bomb wrong and blew up the power grid! !
Someone quickly answered her question: "The looters destroyed the power grid. He wants to let the zombies in and kill us all!"
A huge mass of zombies rushed in from the breach in the base, blocking the hail of bullets with their bodies. They rushed towards the crowd one after another, with their fangs and claws bared. A few had their brains pierced by bullets or various supernatural attacks, but most of them rushed towards the crowd.
After the power grid was broken, even if there were people with special abilities, they would not be able to withstand the large number of zombies.
The ground was still shaking, broken glass was falling down, Shu Lan stumbled to the location of the garbage station, tumbled in in a panic, squatted in the stench, hugged her knees, and curled up into a small ball.
She carefully studied the people who were infected with the virus and turned into zombies, and found that they attacked humans because fresh flesh and blood were extremely attractive to them.
Zombies rely on sight, hearing, and smell to find the living. They can't think, so they won't search. So, just hide in a place with a strong smell, don't make any noise, don't let them see you, hide your body well, and with a little luck, you can avoid it.
Shu Lan's heart was pounding, and the vague and chaotic sounds from the outside world continued to ring in her ears.
It was a chaotic day, with recruitment, doctors, and people with special abilities...
She clearly saw that the man used lightning ability to escape, but it was the extremely powerful fire that blasted open the electric fence.
Something is wrong. How can one person possess two superpowers at the same time?
They called him the Predator.
Plunder... It sounds like it means stealing someone's superpowers. So, did that man get all those superpowers by stealing them? Can superpowers be stolen?
Shu Lan looked down at her hand. She was so confused that she had been holding the syringe in her hand without throwing it away.
The old monkey said that the plunderer was extremely uncooperative with their experiment, so they got a child who also had the ability to plunder to continue the research.
Normal means don’t work, so we have to use abnormal means.
So what this needle does is...
There were sounds of footsteps hurriedly approaching the garbage station. Shu Lan was not the only one who knew the habits of zombies. Seeing that the power grid of the base was destroyed and the psychics were no match for the zombies, everyone was trying to find a way to survive.
The lid of the trash can was opened. Shu Lan raised her head and saw a familiar face in the dim light, Xiao Qingqing's face.
"It's you!"
Xiao Qingqing was also shocked, but she quickly lifted her legs and crawled in: "Make way."
Shu Lan pushed her out: "Do you know me well? Go hide in another trash can!"
Xiao Qingqing squeezed in without saying a word: "There are people in the other ones! Yours is the biggest and the smelliest. Close it quickly, don't let the zombies see me."
Shu Lan really didn't want Xiao Qingqing to come in. The smell of people gathered together was too strong, and the trash can might not be able to block it out. But if she continued to argue with Xiao Qingqing at this time, she would attract zombies.
She moved aside and let Xiao Qingqing crawl in to hide with her.
The lid was closed, but Xiao Qingqing's mouth was not closed.
"Teacher Zheng and that Dr. Zhao are going too far! They have a car but no one is with them. They've loaded the car with machines, bottles, jars, and even information. Are those things more important than human life?"
Suddenly, a scream sounded not far away. Shu Lan put her hand over her mouth and said, "Don't make a sound."
Xiao Qingqing also heard the screams that came one after another. She opened her eyes wide in horror, her whole body tensed up, and she covered her mouth and nose tightly.
