The battle on the fourth floor is still ongoing.
Several virus carriers wearing black collars surrounded Li Jianguo. These virus carriers reacted much faster than zombies, and Li Jianguo was no match for them.
Taking advantage of Li Jianguo's momentary lapse in attention, a virus carrier grabbed Li Jianguo's arm, preparing to bite him. Yan Ling wanted to go and help, but she was surrounded by several zombies and couldn't help herself.
At the critical moment, Chen Zhou, who had been staring blankly and silent, suddenly moved his eyes and kicked the virus carrier who was approaching Li Jianguo away.
As he kicked the virus carrier away, Chen Zhou suddenly spoke: "Let me go."
Li Jianguo finally heard Shen Zhou speak. Although his voice was hoarse and weak, the fact that he could speak meant that he was conscious.
At that moment, Li Jianguo was even happier than if he had been rescued himself. While swinging his bat to fend off the zombies that surrounded him, he untied the chains binding Shen Zhou, shouting, "Holy crap, Shen Zhou finally spoke!!!"
Shen Zhou has been conscious ever since Dr. Yu threw him into the petri dish.
At that time, he was too weak and had been injected with the virus, so even if he was conscious, he was unable to speak. Later, although he was injected with the antidote, he was still controlled by the nano-sound waves. This time, he used all his strength to regain control of his body because he saw that Li Jianguo was in danger.
The collar around his neck quickly detected that Chen Zhou had regained his self-awareness and once again activated its sonic attack to try to control him.
After sensing something was wrong, Shen Zhou forcefully ripped off the remaining half of the collar. The nano-sonic waves almost shredded his brain when he ripped it off. He couldn't imagine how much pain it would have been if it were the whole collar.
Even with the addition of the sunken ship.
Li Jianguo and his group still faced a large number of zombies. Just as they were about to be swallowed up by the horde, Xiao Wenshan led his men from the second floor and quickly brought the situation on the third floor under control.
After confirming the safety of the three layers, the sunken boat capsized and fell to the ground.
Li Jianguo was startled: "Chen Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
After checking Chen Zhou's pulse, Tang Rui took out a bottle of mineral water and a piece of chocolate from her pocket and handed them to Li Jianguo: "He hasn't eaten human food for a long time, and he collapsed due to exhaustion."
While Li Jianguo and Tang Rui were feeding Chen Zhou, Chi Xiaoyu, Grandpa Gu, and Yan Ling had already entered the fourth basement level. They didn't find Qiao An'an, but only a fat man lying on the ground.
Yan Ling looked around: "Did Qiao An'an just vanish into thin air?"
Grandpa Gu: "How could a living person just disappear into thin air? Based on my years of experience watching martial arts films, there must be a secret passage here!"
Chi Xiaoyu saw an eyeball that had fallen in front of the man, and then heard Grandpa Gu mention the hidden door, so she picked up the eyeball from the ground.
This action startled Yan Ling. She knew that Chi Xiaoyu had suffered from severe depression, which made her withdrawn. She never expected that Chi Xiaoyu would have such a hobby: "What... what are you doing picking this up?"
Chi Xiaoyu didn't answer Yan Ling. Instead, she took the man's eyeball and scanned it back and forth in the direction he had fallen. As she expected, the eyeball made a clicking unlocking sound when it passed over a wall, and then a hidden door inside the wall opened automatically.
This action completely stunned Yan Ling.
Chi Xiaoyu walked in without hesitation, thinking that this must be the underground level five mentioned on the radio, and that Sister An'an should be inside.
Inside the cave at this moment.
Qiao An'an and Ye Jing had already retreated to the previously abandoned office area and were huddled behind a desk to avoid being shot at by the men in black.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a hidden door opening in front and saw Chi Xiaoyu walk in. They quickly warned, "Watch out!!!"
Upon hearing the sound, Chi Xiaoyu quickly dodged the bullets aimed at her, drew her bow and shot an arrow, killing one of the men in black who had fired the shot.
Seeing this, the men in black focused their fire on Chi Xiaoyu. Fortunately, at this moment, Grandpa Gu also raised his gun and fired at the men in black. Yan Ling also rushed over to help, but her marksmanship was not as accurate as Grandpa Gu's.
Qiao An'an and Ye Jing, who were hiding behind the desk, took the opportunity to circle around to the back of the men in black and slash them.
The two groups attacked from both sides and quickly wiped out the dozen or so men in black in the underground area.
After confirming that everyone was safe, Qiao An'an could no longer bear the excruciating pain in her back and collapsed. Ye Jing quickly reached out to support her.
Chi Xiaoyu was very anxious: "What happened to Sister An'an?"
Although Qiao An'an was still conscious at this time, she was in so much pain that she could not speak.
Yan Ling checked him over and said, "It's nothing, just a broken rib."
Chi Xiaoyu: "You're okay with a broken rib?"
Yan Ling explained, "It's really nothing. When I used to box, I would just wait for my ribs to heal on their own. Doctors don't usually recommend surgery for a single rib fracture. Generally, you just need to use a chest band to fix it, and you can remove the chest band after 4-6 weeks."
Chi Xiaoyu was skeptical.
Tang Rui asked Chi Xiaoyu to help Qiao An'an to the laboratory on the third floor, where she had a first-aid kit to fix Qiao An'an's ribs.
Xiao Wenshan led the others to clean up the battlefield.
After her ribs were stabilized, Qiao An'an wanted to go out: "Ya Ya is still in their hands, I have to go to J City to save Ya Ya."
Chi Xiaoyu and Ye Jing said they could go with Qiao An'an.
After waking up from drinking water and eating chocolate, Chen Zhou, upon hearing what Qiao An'an and the others were saying, said, "They can't possibly take Ya Ya back to J City."
Qiao An'an was somewhat surprised: "Chen Zhou, you can speak now?"
Li Jianguo slapped Shen Zhou on the back: "He woke up to save me."
Shen Zhou had a bandage wrapped around his neck, with blood seeping through it. He looked no better than Qiao An'an. When Li Jianguo patted him, he coughed up blood: "Li Jianguo... thank you."
Qiao An'an was actually more curious about the meaning of Shen Zhou's earlier statement, "They can't possibly go back to J City with Ya Ya": "What did you mean by that just now?"
Shen Zhou: "When I was in the petri dish, I was actually conscious, so I knew about Dr. Yu's plan."
Li Jianguo snorted coldly: "I know, it was broadcast on the radio. They're going to kill everyone for this Noah's Ark project. I really don't know what's going on in these people's heads."
Shen Zhou shook his head: "Actually, the zombie virus could have been controlled at first. It was Dr. Yu and others who airdropped virus carriers all over the world. He maliciously spread the zombie virus and used artificial wombs, which had long been banned by the state, to create a hundred babies. Dr. Yu kidnapped Ya Ya in order to extract Ya Ya's DNA to modify the genetic sequence of those babies so that they could all be immune to the zombie virus like Ya Ya. That's why he sent virus carriers to destroy the capital's safe zone. At the same time he sent out the virus carriers, he had already sent those babies to the laboratory that created the virus carriers. J City is now just him, a complete ghost town. He doesn't care at all whether you will conquer J City."

P.S.: I was caught in a sudden downpour on my way home tonight, which not only delayed my journey home but also left me completely soaked. I didn't have time to update, so I can only make do with this late-night update.
