Chapter 25 M City
After driving for three days, the car finally arrived at City M. After traveling non-stop for such a long time, everyone was exhausted. Xiao Chen ordered them to find a place nearby to rest for the night.
There happened to be a small supermarket nearby, and the door was intact and not damaged.
Xiao Chen took Lin Luo's hand and pushed open the door, leading the way in. The zombies behind the door heard the noise and turned around to pounce on them. They had green faces and fangs, ferocious expressions, and bloody mouths, which made people feel sick.
Xiao Chen killed the annoying zombie with a thunder ball. The people behind him cleared out the zombies in the supermarket one after another and threw them out, then closed the door.
The shelves in the supermarket were crooked, and many of them had fallen to the ground. There were only a few snacks and daily necessities left on the shelves, which were not enough to satisfy hunger and were left behind.
After clearing a piece of space, everyone sat on the ground. Lin Luo and Luo Yueyue walked to the bathroom and found it was relatively clean. After a quick wash, they returned to their room.
There were too many people, and Lin Luo couldn't bring out any eye-catching food, so he could only eat a little bit casually.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Chen held Lin Luo in his arms and patted her back to coax her to sleep.
Lin Luo comfortably enjoyed Xiao Chen's embrace and did not notice Li You's resentful gaze.
Why is this woman so lucky? Her face is ruined now, and there is not a single piece of good flesh on her body. It's all this woman's fault. If it weren't for her, how could she be in such a horrible state? She will never let Lin Luo go.
Lan Kexin noticed the resentful look Li You gave Lin Luo. Her eyes flashed, and she said nothing and closed her eyes to rest.
A peaceful night.
In the morning, everyone packed up and drove to the scientific research center. The research center was located in the northern district of M City, which was densely populated. When the apocalypse broke out, it was the peak travel season, and the number of zombies could be imagined.
Everyone was not willing to be careless and found an office building not far from the research center to observe first.
The entrance to the research center is a large courtyard. The courtyard is full of zombies in work clothes, who should be the staff of the courtyard. There is also a particularly large locust tree. I don’t know if it is Lin Luo’s illusion, but it feels like the branches of this locust tree are baring their fangs and claws, which looks very dangerous.
There are two buildings in front and back of the compound, an office building and a laboratory building. The surviving scientific researchers are in the laboratory building at the back, but we don't know which floor they are on yet. It seems we have to search one floor at a time.
Everyone carefully avoided the zombies in the yard and slowly walked towards the laboratory building from the path on the other side of the locust tree. If they encountered a lone zombie, they would carefully deal with it.
The experimental building has a total of eight floors. Xiao Chen instructed each team to take two floors. Once they found the personnel, they should notify them through the intercom and not act rashly.
Lan Kexin's team was responsible for the first and second floors, Zeng Wei's team was responsible for the third and fourth floors, Liang Chuan's team was responsible for the fifth and sixth floors, and Xiao Chen and Lin Luo went to the seventh floor.
Xiao Chen speculated that the surviving scientific researchers were most likely on these two floors. Since they did not escape from the compound, the biggest possibility was that they hid upstairs.
The corridor on the seventh floor was covered in blood, with more than twenty zombies wandering around, including several level three zombies.
The eight people were clearing out the zombies while digging out the crystal cores. After clearing this floor, they continued to walk up to the eighth floor. This floor was obviously eerily quiet. There were no zombies and no people.
Xiao Chen felt a spiritual thread wandering around them. Xiao Chen followed the spiritual thread back and found a zombie in an office in the middle of the corridor. Strangely, there was a living person inside.
Psychic zombies? Interesting that they didn't kill anyone in the office.
Xiao Chen calmly withdrew his psychic powers without letting the zombies notice.
However, they had already been exposed, so they simply headed straight for the office where the prisoner was being held.
Xiao Chen asked Wei Long to open the door. Wei Long concentrated the metal in his hand and drilled it into the keyhole. He felt the gap inside and transformed it into the shape of the key, and then he successfully opened the lock.
"Everyone be careful, there's a psychic zombie in there, its level is unknown."
Xiao Chen asked Lin Luo to follow him, then gently opened the door and walked in.
The office is divided into an outer room and an inner room. The outer room is filled with various experimental materials, while the inner room is full of various sophisticated experimental instruments. The mental zombie was not seen.
There were five people lying on the ground in the inner room, two old people and three young people. The distress signal must have been sent by them.
Xiao Chen and his companions did not dare to take it lightly, and their special powers were ready to be used.
When they were about to approach the door of the inner room, everyone suddenly felt a sharp pain in their temples. Lin Luo had no special abilities, so the pain was even worse, and she cried out in pain.
Seeing Lin Luo's painful expression, Xiao Chen's whole body was instantly filled with fierce murderous intent. He concentrated his mental power and suddenly cut off the attacking mental threads, and the thunder ball in his hand smashed towards the place he sensed.
The zombie was caught off guard and hit by the thunderball, roaring in pain.
After the others' headaches were relieved, they reacted and used all their supernatural powers on the zombies, but all their attacks failed.
The zombies dodged various superpowers and escaped out of the door at an incredible speed.
Xiao Chen signaled not to pursue them, as saving people was the most important thing. He picked up Lin Luo and carried him horizontally to the five people who had fainted on the ground. Wang Ming checked their breath one by one, and when he found that they were still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, he's still alive, but barely breathing. If he's any later, he'll probably die."
Luo Junze took out some mineral water and fed them one by one, then each of them carried one on his back and planned to retreat as soon as possible.
Lin Luo's headache has gotten much better. Although there is still some fine and dense pain, it does not affect her movements.
She gestured to Xiao Chen to put her down and put all the instruments and materials into the space. She thought there would always be something else if she put them away.
Seeing that Lin Luo had finished collecting things, Xiao Chen picked her up and walked towards the door. Before he even left, he heard panicked footsteps in the corridor.
Soon, Lan Kexin, Liang Chuan, Zeng Wei and their group appeared in front of them.
"Oh no! A lot of zombies are coming towards this building. We are surrounded."
Zeng Wei said in a panic.
Xiao Chen leaned out the window and saw dense swarms of zombies slowly gathering at the bottom of the building.
Xiao Chen sensed something was wrong. The zombies seemed to be surrounding them with a purpose, as if someone was controlling them.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xiao Chen thought of the escaped mental zombie. Could it be that zombie be able to control other zombies?
Doesn't that mean it has already evolved wisdom? If it is allowed to continue growing, it will be a disaster for all mankind.
We cannot allow this scourge to continue, we must get rid of it.
