Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 84. (2/2)
The next day.
After the team was ready, they went downstairs and got into the modified vehicle, heading toward the virus research area. They encountered many zombies along the way, all dealt with by Fu Chen and Liang Zhiyu.
Over half an hour later, the car stopped outside the virus research building.
The main door was sealed, making entry impossible. The team created a small gap elsewhere, just enough for one person to climb through, entering the research building.
It was easy for the two girls to climb through, and being small, Li Jin passed through effortlessly. The other three men, tall and robust, managed to climb through with some effort.
After struggling to enter the research hall, everyone stood quietly, looking up at the towering skyscraper like a bottomless abyss, making them seem as small as ants.
Before setting off, they had gathered and studied the map carefully, memorizing key points and routes. Their destination was not the upper floors but the hidden underground city beneath the skyscraper.
In the past, soldiers patrolled the exterior of this skyscraper, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach it. Only important officials and virus researchers could freely enter with their work badges.
The awe-inspiring skyscraper, uninhabited for a year, had ivy growing on the walls, and things were messy and broken.
They followed Fu Chen toward the passageway without pausing, aiming to find the virus source as quickly as possible and leave the research facility.
This was the first place where the zombie virus outbreak occurred. No one knew if monsters were hidden in the seemingly quiet research facility. The air was foul and unpleasant, so everyone wore masks and goggles for protection.
Only their soft footsteps could be heard in the research building’s silent corridors. They followed Fu Chen downstairs, circling down multiple levels until they reached the lowest level of the underground research facility.
They encountered no zombies along the way, progressing smoothly. However, once they reached the bottom, they still needed to find a way to enter the virus research facility.
Every door in the research facility was closed, unopenable by hand, and there were no visible mechanisms to open them.
Li Jin glanced at the sturdy, closed door and asked, “What do we do?”
The research facility doors were not made of ordinary materials. Forcing them open was nearly impossible. They could only be unlocked by hacking the codes using advanced technology.
The power seemed to be disrupted, leaving the entire area without electricity. Naturally, this made opening the doors impossible, requiring someone to find the main power switch to see if it could be restored.
Liang Zhi Yu had anticipated this and said, “Captain Fu, I know where the main switch is. Come with me.”
Fu Chen glanced at Bai Qing Qing, extending his mental sense to ensure no unusual creatures were nearby. Then he instructed, “Wait here. If there’s danger, retreat along the mapped route.”
Bai Qing Qing nodded, “Brother, you and Doctor Liang go ahead.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Fu. I’ll protect them.” Xiao Yang said firmly.
Fu Chen and Liang Zhi Yu left together. Watching their departing figures, Bai Qing Qing took out a table and a few chairs from her space. “Let’s sit for a while.”
Knowing the girls’ spatial abilities, Li Jin grabbed a chair and sat down to rest and recover his strength. Bai Tian Tian and Xiao Yang also sat down.
The four sat silently outside the research facility door, the corridor quiet and still.
Bai Tian Tian felt uneasy, a chill creeping over her. She looked around nervously, fearing a monster might appear from somewhere.
The terrifying experience of almost being swallowed by a grotesque monster in Fog City had left a significant psychological shadow on her. Now, she couldn’t help feeling apprehensive in the zombies’ stronghold.
Xiao Yang held a gun, his nerves tense, alert to their surroundings.
The virus research facility was large, once employing over a thousand people. He didn’t believe any zombies were here; they were likely hiding or dormant.
Li Jin was preoccupied with the virus source and less concerned about personal safety. Finding the zombie antidote was his lifelong pursuit. Now that he was close to obtaining the virus source, he felt slightly excited.
Bai Qing Qing, with her spatial ability, was not too worried. She just hoped they could quickly get the virus source and leave the City of Death.
As she knew, the zombie emperor controlled the high level zombie from the shadows, leading his subordinates to launch zombie waves. At the same time, he stayed in the zombies’ lair, establishing a zombie kingdom.
The team had been in the City of Death for several days. The zombie king couldn’t be unaware of their presence. Perhaps he thought they were just ordinary ability users, easily dealt with by the zombies, so he hadn’t appeared.
If anyone didn’t want the researchers to obtain the virus source, it would be the zombies. The zombie antidote only worked on uninfected humans. Once developed, the zombies would be at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, researchers might develop a highly lethal antibody vaccine for zombies, leading to their defeat.
Therefore, she didn’t believe they could leave the City of Death smoothly. Danger lurked in the shadows, waiting to strike and capture them all.
Time passed slowly, each minute feeling like an eternity, making everyone anxious.
Bai Tian Tian’s face turned pale with worry. She looked at Bai Qing Qing and asked in a small voice, “Qing Qing, are you scared?”
Qing Qing looked at her and said, “I’m okay.”
At this moment, she didn’t have the mind to offer comforting words. The spatial ability wasn’t omnipotent, and the suppression of strong beings was significant.
If she faced the zombie Emperor, she wouldn’t have time to escape into her space before being captured. With his ability to control time, Liang Zhiyu could easily catch her.
If Fu Chen had used mental control on her, she wouldn’t have been able to enter her space instantly.
Only Bai Tian Tian, with her storage space ability, was more vulnerable. Without the protection of the Thunder team men, she would have long become a toy in the hands of other ability users.
The world was cruel. One had to have value to survive, and one had to become stronger to live better.
Bai Tian Tian bit her lip, saying nervously, “Qing Qing, I’m scared.”
Despite facing many dangers along the way, she had never felt so uneasy, unable to calm down.
She wasn’t like Qing Qing, who had the captain’s protection. Liang Zhiyu and Xiao Yang also treated Qing Qing well. What would she do if they reencountered danger?
“What are you afraid of?” Bai Qing Qing glanced at her and said softly, “You won’t be in trouble.”
No matter the danger, Bai Tian Tian always turned peril into safety. Only those around her would suffer and face disasters.
Bai Tian Tian lowered her head, clenching her hands tightly.
“Tap, tap, tap,” footsteps approached. Two tall figures appeared.
Li Jin stood abruptly, unable to resist walking over and asking, “Is it done?”
Fu Chen replied calmly, “Leave it to you.”
Liang Zhiyu searched along the wall, finding the password lock to open the door. After pressing a few spots, he handed it to Li Jin.
Sweating slightly on his forehead, Li Jin stretched out his hand to enter the password.
“Password incorrect!” The cold mechanical voice sounded. “You have two more attempts.”
Li Jin paused and re-entered the password.
“Password incorrect!” The mechanical voice reminded me unfeelingly.
Li Jin turned to the others and said, “Only one attempt left. If I get it wrong, the system will lock.”
Fu Chen looked at him and said, “Believe in yourself.”
Li Jin took a deep breath, his mind working calmly and rationally. After half a minute, he opened his eyes and accurately and quickly pressed the symbols.
The next second.
“——Password correct!”
The door slowly opened automatically.
