Chapter 145 Corridor
The corridor was filled with bright lights, and the beams of light shone down, illuminating faces that were either terrified or contorted in horror.
The zombies were all wearing white lab coats, with plump and smooth skin, and looked like they had only recently mutated; they were fresh zombies.
Several familiar faces, but whose names I couldn't recall, lay convulsing on the roadside, the veins on their necks beginning to turn green and then black.
Their clothes were intact and they hadn't been attacked yet, but they had already begun to mutate...
The milk must be the problem.
Since the virus can mutate in such a short time, the concentration of the virus in the milk must be very high.
When Xiang Xin and Liang Hui were chatting about the National Health Commission's reminder to avoid eating raw or cold food recently and to cook all food thoroughly before eating, Lin Xi became uneasy as she looked at the fresh milk.
Now that her guess has been confirmed, most of her colleagues who had just scattered and fled have already eaten breakfast!
There are so many infected people; it's too late to go back and kill them all.
Mutants have already appeared!
More and more people poured out of the corridor. Lin Xi went against the flow of people. There must be survivors in the laboratory at the end of the corridor. They had been working all night and hadn't come down to eat breakfast yet. The laboratory had a layer of defense and isolation system.
Among them was Lin Xi's mentor, Song Heng, and several biological scientists transferred from the capital. They urgently formed a research group and were currently the most likely to develop a method to deal with the virus.
We must save them.
Meanwhile, his struggling colleagues had almost all already eaten breakfast; mutation was only a matter of time.
It's beyond saving.
Kill them all; Lin Xi couldn't kill that many by himself.
She pressed the alarm bell, hoping that the soldiers stationed outside would hear it and come in to clear out the zombies.
The corridor, which usually takes half a minute to walk through, now seemed very long. A person who was vomiting against the wall suddenly rolled their eyes up and stood up with their head on the ground.
Lin Xi was the most active among the chaotic crowd, making her the freshest food in the eyes of the zombies.
The zombies all pounced on her.
For the past nine years, Lin Xi has not only been engrossed in studying, but also in physical training and kung fu. In this cramped corridor, as long as he is not surrounded by a swarm of people, he can still run away even if he can't win a fight.
The dagger's attack range was too short, making it suitable for one-on-one combat. Lin Xi grabbed the mop leaning against the door, pushed aside a zombie that was rushing towards him, and continued to scurry away.
Turn right at the end of the corridor. There are several bloody handprints and trails of blood on the familiar frosted glass door. A colleague is leaning against the door, trembling, his tongue twitching uncontrollably.
Before the mutation was complete, Lin Xi pounced and swiftly struck, killing the zombie by dragging its tongue and leaving it motionless with its head tilted to the side.
A commotion erupted in the corridor behind her; the zombies that had just finished attacking the living people who hadn't fully mutated were now approaching.
Lin Xi placed his thumb on the fingerprint verification key, and the access control system clicked open, but the door couldn't be opened. Several figures were blocking the door from behind the frosted glass.
"Open the door!!" Lin Xi pounded on the door and turned around to hear the sound of zombies approaching her.
The door in front of him was locked and he couldn't open it. He was also surrounded by zombies. Once the zombies swarmed around him, he would have no chance of escape.
At that point, you'll either be devoured by zombies, or you'll be half-eaten and turn into a zombie, then get your head blown off and embark on a lonely journey.
The person on the other side of the frosted glass probably knew what was going on outside and didn't dare to open the door for Lin Xi.
What to do, what to do...
We cannot sit here and wait to be trapped, nor can we break down the door for our own selfish desires, leaving those in the isolation room without the protection of the door.
Moreover, the glass in the laboratory and isolation rooms is bulletproof and cannot be damaged in a short time.
The zombies are getting closer and closer.
Lin Xi grabbed a mop and darted out, quickly running to the other side of the T-shaped corridor to draw the curtains and turn off the lights in the corridor.
The vision suddenly went dark. The white-clad zombies that had just rushed in were stunned for a second, then attracted by the light from the frosted glass door, and all pounced on the glass door.
Screams and curses could be heard coming from inside.
Although the mop handle was long, it wasn't sturdy or sharp enough, so Lin Xi took out a fire extinguisher from the fire cabinet next to her.
The glass door of the isolation room is made of special material, it is explosion-proof glass, and zombies can break through it for a while, but they leave more bloody handprints and slime on the glass surface.
The menacing zombies pounced on the glass door, blocking out all the light leaking from the isolation room.
The people inside sensed the situation and screamed in even greater terror, drawing the zombies' attention.
Great opportunity!
Just like how Xiang Xin helped Lin Xi lure zombies away from the detention center, now the zombies are only showing Lin Xi their weak point – the back of her head.
Lin Xi raised his dagger and stabbed it hard into the back of the zombie's head. The zombie, struck in a vital spot, twitched and then went still.
After the zombies on the outer layer lost their ability to move, they lay on top of the zombies inside, which reduced the mobility of the zombies inside to some extent.
Lin Xi raised the fire extinguisher and swung it at the zombies' heads, each swing requiring full force to deliver a fatal blow.
These few blows were hard to land; after all, a fire extinguisher isn't as light and easy to handle as a baseball bat.
As the last zombie fell, Lin Xi was still thinking that she couldn't keep working on this day and night anymore. Her physical condition had deteriorated, and she was also a little hypoglycemic because she hadn't had breakfast earlier. She was clearly struggling to fight the zombies.
The horde of zombies in front of us has fallen, but there may still be zombies coming from the hall and corridor outside.
Lin Xi wanted to tap the frosted glass door, but it was covered in zombie blood and saliva, making it too disgusting to touch.
Lin Xi could only lower her voice and say to the inside, "I've killed all the zombies outside, open the door and let me in!!"
But the people inside had just been frightened; how could they dare?
When timid people are afraid, they are unwilling to open the door, just like Lin Xi once stayed at home, preferring to starve to death rather than go out to seek hope of survival while being surrounded and intercepted by zombies.
But the rustling sounds in the corridor grew closer and closer; the second wave of zombies was approaching!
what to do? !
In the midst of the chaos, a scream came from inside the glass door, someone shouting, "Li Jun has turned into a zombie!!"
"ah!!!"
As soon as the scream rang out, Lin Xi clearly felt the footsteps in the corridor quicken. She shouted in vain from outside the door, "Keep your voice down!!"
The frightened people inside didn't care about anything else; their screams were accompanied by a chaotic sound of footsteps.
Someone shouted, "Smash him on the head!!"
It seems that some people have already begun to contend with the zombies.
The people blocking the glass door whispered among themselves, "I'm too scared to go..."
Lin Xi gritted her teeth outside the door: "I dare! I just killed nine! Let me in!"
"Are you Lin Xi?" The voice inside sounded familiar; it was Cheng Ling's trembling voice.
"Yes, it's me!"
Just as Cheng Ling was about to open the door, a voice beside him said, "Who knows if she's infected? Don't open the door!"
The second wave of zombies was almost at the end of the corridor, entering the "T" corner. Lin Xi pleaded, "There are already infected people inside, one more won't make a difference. Let me in first so I can kill the zombies, okay?"
Cheng Ling quickly opened the door for Lin Xi.
Open the door, go in, close the door.
10 seconds.
The second wave of zombies was kept outside the door.
