The environment in the City of Death is terrible. Unlike the Fog City where white fog lingers every day, the air is filled with the smell of burning gunpowder, black birds that eat carrion fly everywhere, and the pungent smell makes it difficult for people to adapt.
Bai Qingqing sat by the window, gazing at the receding, abandoned city scene outside.
The team arrived at the City of Death earlier than her, and after wandering around the city, they still hadn't found a place to stay.
They first went to the research institute where the virus outbreak originated. However, the door of the institute was tightly closed. It must have been damaged. The door was blocked by stones or something solid, and it could not be opened even with an oil explosion.
The Thunder Squad failed to break through because the explosion attracted a tide of zombies, so they had to retreat temporarily.
By chance, she broke into the City of Death, causing a zombie disturbance, and met them and was rescued. Before nightfall, the team had to find a place to rest, and then discuss together how to enter the research institute.
The City of Death is not a top metropolis, with a population of only a few million. More than a decade ago, humans established a virus biology research institute here, and everything is done in secret.
Last year, a virus broke out for unknown reasons, and the entire city turned into a monster paradise overnight. Infected humans took buses and planes to various cities. Within a few days, the zombie virus spread throughout the world, and the end of the world was approaching.
Li Jin had heard of this research institute. There were too many forces involved. Although he enjoyed a good reputation in the industry, he was still not qualified to have access to the virus research institute. He only got some information from his senior.
Therefore, he firmly believed that by coming to the City of Death and finding a way to enter the Virus Research Institute, he would be able to find the source of the virus, and thus gather researchers together to develop an antidote for the zombie virus.
The City of Death is full of zombies. No matter how hard you try, you can never kill them all. Their hideous faces make people feel uneasy.
Bai Qingqing withdrew her gaze and lowered her head in thought.
Li Jin probably knew how dangerous the City of Death was, but he still came here at the risk of his life for the benefit and future of mankind. However, he didn't know that the low-level zombies in this place were not the most dangerous existence.
The most terrifying thing is the monsters lurking in the dark, the intelligent species that have mutated and evolved. In the eyes of intelligent monsters, humans are like livestock and can be slaughtered at any time.
She knew that the Thunder Squad was the protagonist, and that Bai Tiantian, the heroine who built the entire world, was there, so there wouldn't be any danger, but she still couldn't help feeling worried.
She survived to change his fate, which also affected the plot a little bit. It was unexpected that Shen Mingxuan turned into a zombie.
Zombie Shen is going the opposite direction from her and is getting further and further away from the protagonist group. With his strength, he should not be killed by his own kind or by people with special powers, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
Bai Qingqing looked at Liang Zhiyu and Bai Tiantian who were busy in the kitchen, and then at Li Jin who was wearing glasses and holding a test tube, and her mood was a little complicated.
I hope that everyone can get out of this Death City copy safely and alive.
Only when you are alive can you do anything.
As time went on, the sky, like a curtain, enveloped the entire city, and from time to time the terrifying roars of zombies could be heard in the darkness.
The team found a dilapidated building. Fu Chen made sure there was no danger before letting everyone get out of the car. Three men in the team protected them and rushed upstairs.
The night environment was extremely terrifying and full of dangers. Zombies always rushed out from invisible corners. It was scarier than playing a room of escape game. Everyone hurried upstairs.
I went up the tall building smoothly, found an empty room, entered and locked the door.
This building was originally a technology office building, but now it is in ruins, with broken glass, chairs and tables scattered on the ground, and the scene looks like a disaster.
The cool breeze blew in from outside. Standing on the high building and overlooking the city, I felt a chill in my heart.
Bai Qingqing had not eaten well or slept well these days, and finally met the mission target. After relaxing, she felt very tired. She took out a lazy sofa from the space and lay down on it. "I'll take a nap first, don't disturb me."
Fu Chen twisted the quilt for her and whispered: "Go to sleep, brother will watch over you."
Bai Qingqing nodded, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Liang Zhiyu stared at that side with his foxy eyes slightly narrowed, and the corners of his lips curled coldly. He was right about the person, she was the same kind as him.
After she woke up from her injuries, she changed into a different person, pretending to be a weak prey to attract them and luring them quietly. Cheng Rui, Xiao Yang... all fell into her trap without exception.
It seemed that she was their prey and they wanted to control her, but in reality, they had become her prey without realizing it.
In this situation, even if she said she didn't lose her memory and directly admitted to lying to Fu Chen, he wouldn't care.
Xiao Yang also saw that scene. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. During the days when he and Qingqing were separated, he thought about her all the time and almost went crazy.
If Fu Chen hadn't beaten him up, and Liang Zhiyu hadn't said that the mission in the City of Death was more important, he would have wanted to stay in Wudu to find Qingqing before leaving.
His injured left hand was aching slightly. At that time, he thought Bai Tiantian was Qingqing, so he risked his life to save her. By accident, he saved Bai Tiantian.
Now the wound was painful, and he was not qualified to go to her, act coquettishly, and ask for her mercy.
In the team, apart from the rigid Li Jin who was only focused on the virus, Bai Tiantian, who seemed like an outsider, saw the reactions of the three men. She felt a little sour in her heart and looked away.
Time flies. It has been a year since she left her hometown after the outbreak of the apocalyptic virus. She was rescued by the Thunder Squad and put into the car. She timidly hoped that everyone would protect her. Fortunately, she was as likable as she was at school and at home before the apocalypse.
Several men in the Thunder Squad all took good care of her. Bai Qingqing, who was always scheming and making trouble, was hated by everyone, and even she hated Qingqing a little.
After Bai Qingqing lost her memory, they gradually changed their attitude towards her, and so did she.
So many things happened during this period that her kindness and innocence were no longer precious and lovable, and would hurt the people around her. Did she really do anything wrong? That's why they all started to dislike her.
Bai Tiantian couldn't control her sadness. In fact, she had realized long ago that the captain liked Qingqing, but she was deceiving herself and thought that the captain treated Qingqing as his sister.
Everyone likes a strong man who can protect her. Fu Chen is strong, outstanding, handsome and noble. She can't control her heartbeat.
At first she hid her feelings very well, but when she saw him falling deeper and deeper in love with Qingqing, she could no longer hold back her sadness and pain.
Li Jin was completely unaware of everyone's subtle emotions. He held up a test tube and said, "Do you have time to come over and discuss this?"
Fu Chen stood up, walked over with his long legs, and said, "Let's go outside."
Xiao Yang and Liang Zhiyu followed him and walked to the balcony, where they stood or sat and gathered together.
They knew very well that they could not stay in the City of Death for long, so they had to find the source of the virus within a week or half a month at most and then leave.
On the way here, Fu Chen told me that there is a powerful high-level zombie in the City of Death. The human base has a leader, and the zombies also have their leaders. The high-level zombie in the City of Death is the emperor of the zombies.
The team's current strength levels are divided into: Fu Chen is at the peak of level six in both elements, Xiao Yang is at level five in the wood element, and Liang Zhiyu is at level five in the wind element. Their abilities are already top-notch in the apocalypse, but in the zombie paradise, there is no guarantee that they will escape unscathed.
Fu Chen guessed that the Zombie King's strength was at level six or seven, and there might be intelligent zombies above level five around him. If they encountered or if the Zombie King noticed the invasion of high-level psychics, they would have to flee the City of Death.
At first, Fu Chen wanted to get the source of the virus and then take the opportunity to kill the Zombie King, but now it’s impossible. He has a soft spot, and Bai Qingqing is his weakness.
He didn't dare to risk his life, and he couldn't kill the Zombie King 100%. Even if he killed one Zombie King, there were still many Zombie Kings in the world. Human beings must unite to resist the zombies.
Liang Zhiyu held a few pieces of paper in his hands. They were based on the information he had collected from various sources along the way, and the maps he had drawn based on the virus research institute he had visited.
He planned the area of the virus research institute sharply and accurately, marked some corridors of the building with red dots, and then planned three routes with blue, cyan and orange.
Each route passes through different places and leads to different breakthrough points. You can only leave the virus research institute by returning to the lobby.
Liang Zhiyu is the team's strategist. The plans he gives are always correct, even if there is a slight error. It will definitely be right if we listen to him.
Xiao Yang, who was lazily sitting on the rusty railing, jumped down, pointed to the blue line on the map, and asked, "Is this the fastest way?"
Liang Zhiyu pushed his glasses and said, "According to my calculations, it would take us about an hour to get to the deep underground, get the virus source, and then return along the way without encountering zombies."
Fu Chen raised the question: "If the elevator is damaged, we don't have enough time."
Liang Zhiyu said calmly, "Captain Fu, you are right. I just said that under normal circumstances, it only takes one hour to go back and forth. After careful calculation, if nothing unexpected happens, it will take two hours for everyone to return to the ground."
He stretched out his bony fingers and pointed at the intersection of blue and green. There was also a red dot there. He said, "If the blue line cannot pass, we will go to other areas via the green line. It will take ten more minutes."
Xiao Yang looked at the dense lines and markings, and admired him in his heart. He praised: "Brother Liang, what a brain you have. If anyone wants to compete with you, they will be exhausted to death."
Liang Zhiyu smiled faintly and said nothing.
The few of them discussed for more than an hour and decided on tomorrow's actions.
…
In an abandoned factory in Wudu, Shen the zombie, wearing old clothes, sat on the sofa. A black cat came back from hunting outside, jumped onto his shoulder and meowed.
Shen's zombie was as motionless as a sculpture. He learned from the zombies in Wudu that Qingqing did not return to Wudu.
He waited with his eyes closed for two days, but she never showed up.
In this desolate world, he is the only zombie, waiting alone, looking for a human girl.
