Chapter 258 The reason is unknown
'Sea King' Ye Xi was being carried forward by Xie Ning and Pei Hongqing on both sides, unconsciously.
His eyes were always observing his surroundings.
The passage is three meters wide.
Except for the gray-white ground under your feet, the sides and the top of your head are paved with metal.
There are ventilation holes every few meters.
Waves of fragrance emanated from the ventilation ducts.
Very strange.
She frowned, feeling something was wrong, and said to Pei Hongqing, "Can you blow this fragrance away?"
Pei Hongqing hummed.
He released his wind-based ability, which immediately rushed towards the vent and blew the fragrance back.
The fragrance in the passage became fainter, and gradually, a familiar stench came from the front.
It's the smell of a rotting zombie corpse...
It just happened to turn a few corners.
Xie Ning slowly stopped and looked at her: "Twenty meters away, there are several level three mutant zombies."
"Just go ahead."
Ye Xi ran over quickly.
Twenty meters is not a very long distance. Soon, I saw a glass door. There were several level three mutant zombies wearing white coats standing at the elevator door.
The three pairs of black and red eyes became extremely excited when they saw Ye Xi.
Ye Xi took out the seeds from his bag and threw them into the gap under the glass door.
The seed rolled to the feet of the third-level mutant zombie.
Before they smashed the glass door.
Bang!
The thick vines had already wrapped around the three of them tightly, forcing them to collapse to the ground.
When Ye Xi walked over, he didn't even need to take out the knife.
Simply use the vines to pick off the three heads.
Remove the crystal core.
After walking such a long way, we finally arrived at the three elevators of the underground laboratory of Kaizhong Group.
Of course, these elevators are out of service.
She pried open one of the elevator doors and looked down into the elevator shaft, only to discover that the underground laboratory floor was even deeper than she had imagined!
Xie Ning stood beside her and said in a deep voice, "The underground laboratory should have at least five floors. This is the only entrance at the moment. If we want to go in, we have to go straight down from here."
The most important thing is that there is no safe passage here.
Access is by elevator.
How did those level four and five mutant zombies stay in there?
From another entrance?
I can’t think of this at the moment.
Moreover, after coming from the passage and walking here, all I could see were the three level three mutant zombies and these three elevators.
"Isn't there a vent?"
Pei Hongqing glanced at the ceiling again and said, "Let's see which direction it leads to."
"You mean, we should split up into two groups and enter this underground laboratory from two different directions?"
Ye Xi looked at him.
Pei Hongqing nodded. "This underground laboratory has five floors. There's absolutely no way there's only one passage. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, everyone inside will die. I've also looked up information about the Kaizhong Group. They employ quite a few researchers. These researchers are incredibly important to a pharmaceutical company, so their safety is crucial."
Xie Ning glanced at him and asked, "Then why didn't you find out that Kaizhong Group has purchased high-value insurance for all its researchers?"
Pei Hongqing paused. "This only proves that Kaizhong Group is indeed researching something very risky. But that's not surprising. Many pharmaceutical companies also buy high-value insurance for their researchers, and the beneficiary can't be the company."
Ye Xi heard the conversation between the two.
I thought of a more in-depth question.
I couldn't help but look at Pei Hongqing and Xie Ning and asked them, "Do you know how the zombie virus appeared?"
“…”
This question.
Pei Hongqing was stunned. "I don't know. Suddenly someone got infected, turned into a zombie, and started biting other people."
Xie Ning was silent. "The reason is unknown, and the military doesn't know either."
This is not a perfunctory statement, it is indeed true.
Even if the antidote appeared in the previous life, we still don’t know how the virus appeared.
His biggest suspect is the Kaizhong Group.
But if it really came from Kaizhong Group, then the first thing to fall would only be S City, rather than a global outbreak.
All I can say is that it may be closely related to Kaizhong Group.
"It's really strange."
Ye Xi touched his chin, also puzzled.
Because she had no memory of the origin of the zombie virus in her previous life.
Even if a super base is established.
Neither the military nor the government has said where the zombie virus came from.
In the end, all she knew was that Lu Ye had developed an antidote to the zombie virus.
But knowing how to research the antidote does not mean knowing who created the zombie virus.
In short, the origin of the zombie virus has remained a mystery to her for two lifetimes.
However, she thought Pei Hongqing's decision to split into two teams and go down to the underground laboratory was feasible.
Because in addition to going down to find the fourth-level mental mutant zombie, she also has to find equipment.
Moving the equipment away is the biggest goal of this trip!
"Go back first."
Ye Xi said to the two of them: "Plan the next steps."
Xie Ning and Pei Hongqing had no objection and followed her back.
However.
Just after they turned and left.
The buttons of the three elevators all lit up!
-
The other side.
Yan Fei and others also consumed a lot of their special powers before they were able to break through from the outer circle into the inner circle.
The group of ten people were exhausted and out of breath.
I finally found a place to catch my breath.
Another level three or four mutant zombies rushed towards them.
Although they are all level four mutants and have no problem killing these mutated zombies, they cannot withstand the large numbers!
Fortunately, their captain Yan Fei flashed and in less than a breath, the heads of those level three and four mutant zombies that came over were chopped off.
One of them even rolled in front of Yan Ziming's feet.
The dead eyes stared at him.
He was already extremely tired, and this time he couldn't bear it any longer and kicked the head out.
"Hey hey hey! Boy, the crystal core hasn't been dug out yet!"
Liang Lin shouted and went to pick up the head again.
Yan Ziming touched his nose embarrassedly and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it, and I felt a little annoyed..."
"Why would I bother with a crystal core? In the apocalypse, it's money!"
Liang Lin looked at him with amusement, "But you performed well just now. The captain said that this level 4 zombie's crystal core will be used to upgrade you."
After saying that, he stuffed the excavated crystal core into his hand.
Yan Ziming was immediately flattered. "How can this be so embarrassing? I didn't contribute much."
He looked at Yan Fei again, "Captain Yan..."
Yan Fei was smoking, puffing away, looking towards the Kaizhong Group Building. When he heard what he said, he said, "Upgrade, don't hold back."
“…”
Yan Ziming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and could only accept it.
Liang Lin looked at Yan Fei and said, "Captain, the mutant zombies' attacks on us have weakened. Could it be that they have discovered Zhou Hui and the others and are heading back inside?"
