There was chaos in the laboratory, the experimental zombies contained in laboratory number were suddenly released, causing everyone to panic.
Screaming in terror, they fled the premise. At the fork road between life and duty, they chose life.
The logistics entrance was relatively remote, mainly used for the transportation of goods. When everyone chose to escape, they naturally ignored this exit and ran towards the main entrance in a unified manner. The louder the sound, the zombies would follow wherever they were, and soon, there would be silence outside the door.
Qi Yan and Kang Ye were both young people. After taking a break to regain their strength, they began to look for tools that could be used in the room.
“This knife can be used, as well as the steel pipes and stun guns.” Qi Yan handed the things to Kang Ye behind him and Kang Ye obediently took them.
Professor Liu looked at their cooperative behavior, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
“Professor, you should come with us.” Qi Yan gave his long knife to Professor Liu: “This one is relatively long and it is safe to use.”
Professor Liu did not refuse. He took the long knife and pinned it around his waist: “Where are you going next?”
“I don’t know.” Qi Yan’s voice suddenly became mournful: “We also have a team, but they can’t be implicated in the affairs of Kang Ye and I.”
“Hmph, you think too much!” Professor Liu snorted coldly: “If they leave you, then they’re not a proper team.”
Qi Yan smiled and shook his head: “They are really good, but Kang Ye’s identity is different…Their family and friends have been persecuted by zombies, we can’t blame them.”
Thinking in another way, they were not in the wrong. However, Qi Yan and Kang Ye’s concealment seemed to have a different purpose.
But true friends would never think of this level. But after they separated, they would all be safe.
There was no sound outside and Kang Ye couldn’t feel the breath of zombies. Qi Yan quietly opened the door, looked around vigilantly, and ran to the logistics entrance carefully. Professor Liu and Kang Ye followed him.
There were also people at the logistics port. Qi Yan was afraid that the zombies who just ran over would stop at the logistics port. He was also worried that those people become zombies after being bitten, increasing the number of zombies.
Run faster, don’t look at it, and ignore it. It was as if everything was a floating cloud, speed was the most important thing.
There were two forks in front, the left side lead to the logistics port and the right side was the water pipeline. There was still some distance from the fork in the road when Kang Ye suddenly stopped Qi Yan, the three of them flashed into the compartment next to them, watching a zombie in logistics overalls walking slowly over. Holding his breath, not daring to make too much noise, Qi Yan closed his eyes, with a bad feeling in his heart.
The logistics port must had been lost, maybe some zombies ran out. If they didn’t hurry up and leave, they might be blocked here by infected zombies all over the city and they won’t be able to get out for the rest of their lives.
“We can’t go to the logistics port anymore.” Professor Liu suddenly whispered: “Go to the water pipeline.”
“Water pipeline?” Qi Yan asked rhetorically.
“Yes, the water pipe. We rush out from the water pipe, directly outside the city.”
After speaking, Professor Liu rushed out with great energy, Qi Yan was taken aback and quickly followed.
The zombies behind heard the movement and rushed up, but fortunately there was only one.
Afraid that the movement of the zombies would attract more zombies, Kang Ye picked up the steel pipe and slammed it on the zombie’s head, brain matter were all over the floor, and the zombie fell down before Kang Ye followed.
“When we get out of the water pipeline in a while, you go first.” Professor Liu made a plan: “There is an impulse device in the water pipeline. None of you can do it, only I can. In order to save time, don’t dawdle!”
Qi Yan didn’t notice anything, but Kang Ye glanced at Professor Liu strangely. He wanted to speak and opened his mouth, but he didn’t say the words.
The distance from the water pipeline was not as close as the logistics port. Qi Yan was really blindsided now and could only walk behind Professor Liu.
The siren had stopped and they didn’t know if the device was destroyed or if someone turned it off. The corridor was quiet now, leaving only the mighty wind and their soft gasps as they ran out.
“The entire laboratory may have fallen.” Qi Yan sighed languidly.
“Don’t worry about it, how many people do you think there are in W City?” There was a trace of arrogance and indifference in Professor Liu’s voice.
Qi Yan was puzzled and asked, “There should be a lot of people here, right?”
“Many people?” Professor Liu chuckled blithely and stated an amazing fact: “The real survivors are only those in the private houses.”
“What?!” Qi Yan’s voice raised slightly, then he looked around vigilantly and found that there were no zombies before whispering, “What’s in the middle of the city?”
Looking back, there was only one private housing and there were only two hundred rooms at most. If you count six people in each room, there were only 1,200 people. How could there be only such a few survivors? What’s more, there were not necessarily six people in each private house!
“Senior government officials and family members.”
“W City is very big!” How could it be possible for just senior officials and their families to fill it up?
“If the government says it can be filled, it can be filled.” Professor Liu said sarcastically, leaving Qi Yan speechless.
It’s ridiculous to say that the survivors in the private houses were the closest to the only exit from Hope City. If Hope City fell… Heh, those senior officials really made their biggest mistake.
It seemed that it was because the three of them escaped too fast and the sound of their footsteps was particularly loud in the silent corridor. Just after a turn, the roar of zombies vaguely came from behind. Listening to that sound, it was not formed by only one or two zombies.
Qi Yan didn’t have much strength anymore. The long-term running made his heart beat faster, his face flushed, and he was out of breath. It was as if he would suffocate anytime, anywhere.
“Hold on!” Professor Liu couldn’t run anymore, but he insisted: “They’re coming soon, do you want to give up at this moment?”
Professor Liu’s words gave Qi Yan a lot of encouragement. With Kang Ye’s help, Qi Yan continued to run without the slightest pause.
He couldn’t lose, he couldn’t fail… for himself, for Kang Ye.
The water outlet was a room. There were some debris piled up in the room. There was a large round iron mesh leaning against the wall. At the moment, there was no water flow in the water outlet. Looking down at this moment, it was a black piece, with no visible bottom.
Kang Ye closed the door, plugged in the two handles with steel pipes, and temporarily sealed the door.
Qi Yan and Professor Liu removed the iron mesh, Professor Liu walked to the pile of debris on one side and opened the box, revealing a strange device behind it.
“The water rushes from top to bottom. After I release the water, you will jump down.” The old face was covered with fine beads of sweat, Professor Liu wiped it indiscriminately, his white hair showed the dusk of an old man about to enter the night.
“Follow the current down. With the resistance of the water, you will be fine.”
Professor Liu suddenly started to babble making Qi Yan feel uneasy. He stood behind Professor Liu and asked, “Will you come with us?”
The hand fiddling with the equipment paused, just for a moment that was invisible to the naked eye: “Of course, I don’t want to die so early.”
Qi Yan nodded, just thinking about what he was talking about. The door sealed by the steel pipe was slammed by an external force followed by an unstoppable roar and knocking on the door without the slightest pause.
The sounds of the zombie, it was really disgusting to hear once again.
“Almost there… almost there…”
The professor murmured, his bony and wrinkly hands were also moving quickly.
