Chapter 185: Zombie Siege Practice (Twenty-Two)
"If you had known the horror of the fifth round of mutations, why did you come out and establish a base?"
While searching for the tallest building in the dormitory area, Tang Xin Jue did not forget to ask the man with the glasses:
"Is it to find a good place for a decent burial?"
Man with glasses: "Of course not!"
He followed like a chicken, his hands tied, afraid that Tang Xinjue would throw him off if he walked a little faster. He was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and had no time to make excuses to save face, so he could only speak the truth:
"We originally wanted to complete the human enhancement agent first. When it reaches a certain level, the person injected will lose their mind and will only obey . Then, on the last day, they can serve as human shields for us to lure the zombies away..."
"But, but this is just the initial version!" The man with glasses stammered, "The final version of the human body enhancer is called YDMB. It will take us to a higher realm beyond our current life form. You have no idea how great it is!"
Unexpectedly, when he mentioned this, his demeanor suddenly became somewhat crazy, and he even wanted to pull Tang Xinjue to promote his own ideas:
"Don't underestimate this tiny tube of liquid. Do you know how powerful the energy is? If you only use 50% of its power, even if a person's head is severed, they can be resurrected!"
Tang Xin Jue looked at him: "How much energy have you activated now?"
The man with glasses choked: "About... about 5%..."
Tang Xin Jue said slowly, "That means you may not be able to fully explore its value. But it doesn't matter. The Yangtze River's new generation pushes the old generation forward. I believe it will definitely meet someone better."
Man with glasses: ...
His face flushed, but he was speechless.
Especially when he saw Tang Xinjue's calm expression and gentle and sincere tone, the boy, who had failed to be brainwashed no matter how hard he tried, even began to lose his mind and fell into self-doubt.
"Dongying, what happened to you? Were you bitten?"
When they met with the other organizers again, they looked at the man with glasses in horror, revealing painful expressions of having lost their companions.
"Dongying, have a safe journey, woooo ...
"He wasn't bitten, he just lost confidence in himself."
Tang Xinjue kindly interrupted them.
The man with glasses, looking pale, also raised his head in a daze. "No, I can't accept this. I am the most suitable person to develop YDMB. I must see the day when it is fully realized. I want to see it change the world!"
"What's YDMB? What's changing the world?" Another organizer, still weeping, paused, a puzzled expression on his face. "Isn't what we're researching just a stimulant? The kind we can sell for a ton of money?"
Man with glasses: "...Go to hell! You idiots! How could I know such faithless losers like you!"
The others rolled their eyes at him and continued to cry: "Wuwuwu, if we had faith, why would we go with you? It's because life in the lab is too hard. I will never go to a lab in my next life, wuwuwu..."
“…”
Ignoring the cries of the organizers, Tang Xin Jue asked Zhang You, who had sent the rendezvous signal, "Did you find them?"
Zhang You nodded: "Found it."
After the four people compared and calculated together, they found that there was indeed a building in the entire dormitory area that was inexplicably taller than the other buildings while the number of floors remained the same.
And this building is where they stayed for three consecutive nights.
Building 33!
It is not difficult to return to 606 from the balcony, and it is not difficult to climb to the roof from the sixth floor.
But it would be very difficult to climb from the first floor to the roof with five useless crybaby and break through the siege of upgraded zombies.
The four of them looked at each other and dialed Yu Wei's number.
When the call was connected, Yu Wei's voice sounded a little strange, but she still agreed to the task of setting up the ropes for the few people.
Tang Xinjue heard something was wrong in her voice and asked, "What happened?"
Yu Wei scratched her head: "Nothing, it's just that I always feel like there's someone outside the door... or maybe it's just a zombie."
After all, at this time, the probability of encountering people is much smaller than encountering zombies, and the former seems even more terrifying.
Tang Xin Jue: "If there is any accident, please contact me at any time."
Yu Wei suddenly felt more secure: "Okay!"
Using the rope Yu Wei had dropped, the four of them "went upstairs" in batches. Zheng Wanqing and Guo Guo were responsible for attracting and defending against the nearby zombies, while Tang Xinjue and Zhang You led the others, successfully getting everyone to the roof before the zombies gathered.
After climbing several times, they also discovered the problem of height:
From the ceiling of the sixth-floor dormitory to the top of the building, there is an extra half floor of height!
Moreover, most of it is hollow, with only a small area filled with objects.
Zhang You put away the measuring instrument and sighed: "Yes, it's on the roof of our dormitory."
It's easy to figure out that in this copy, as candidates, they are like anchors nailed to the center of "troublemaking" and will never be absent.
"Now it's your turn to make a difference."
Tang Xinjue looked at the five former laboratory members who were collapsed on the ground.
Five people: ...They are weak, helpless, and pitiful. What can they do?
Ten minutes later, when they were shoveling the ground with shovels, they once again deeply realized that human potential is infinite.
Even if they were shaking, after Zheng Wanqing knocked one of them unconscious with a punch from her metal arm, the remaining four could still pick up the shovels and dig the ground hard.
606 wasn't idle either; they finished their breakfast nearby. Guo Guo took the opportunity to rummage through Zhang You's storage bag and asked for the nth time, "Sister You, what is it that you don't have?"
Zhang You pointed out, "These aren't mine. They're our dormitory's shared supplies. So as a dormitory member, shouldn't you also take on the responsibility of replenishing supplies? For example, learn to repair instruments, build weapons, or do carpentry or electrical work?"
Guo Guo was stunned: "...Sister You, you have changed. The God of Jue has infected you. Miss, please look at her!"
When I turned around, I found that Zheng Wanqing had slipped to the other side of the rooftop, pretending to sharpen a knife and staying away from the conversation.
"I dug it up! There seems to be something inside!"
An organizer suddenly shouted loudly. He was even more excited than Tang Xinjue and the other three when he dug out something. He even fell to the ground dizzy due to lack of oxygen.
The other workers also held their breath, their hearts hanging in the air.
"Let me take a look."
Zheng Wanqing pushed the others aside, and with a single shovelful of energy, she dug out all the dirt and clods of earth, revealing the entire black object inside.
This is a huge black instrument. From a distance, it looks like a strange black box. Only when you get close can you see the densely packed wires on it.
"Yes, that's it!"
The man with glasses also dropped his shovel and rushed over in ecstasy as if he had seen his savior:
If they can't dig anything out, even if they are not bitten to death by zombies, they will die of overwork here!
But the dream of rest still did not come, and another more important task soon fell on their heads:
How to start the instrument and use it to contact the laboratory.
…
Time passed minute by minute. Except for one person who was knocked unconscious and one person who fainted due to excitement, the remaining three organizers were still pondering over the instrument.
Even Zheng Wanqing was almost sleepy, but they didn't seem to do anything special.
Tang Xinjue crossed his arms: "I remember you said that this instrument was a product of your laboratory."
The man with glasses wiped his sweat and said yes in a low voice.
"But it seems that you and it are not very familiar."
Another girl answered cautiously, "Because it was done by another group of people in the lab. They also do technical work. We're not very good at doing it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have defected and driven them out."
Man with glasses: "...What do you mean by defecting? We're running away! We're running away with our great invention!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zheng Wanqing raised her arm, and they immediately became as quiet as quails and studied the instruments seriously.
Zheng Wanqing raised her arm and rubbed her eyes. "Is it time for the Student Union radio show again?"
In this copy that is always filled with the smell of blood, the radio has become one of their few pleasures, and even the voice of the student union seems to be less unpleasant.
Guo Guo took out his phone and glanced at it: "Not yet... Hey, Yu Wei called?"
When the call was connected, Yu Wei's voice on the other end was trembling:
"Someone is knocking on the dormitory door."
Aren’t there zombies knocking on their dormitory door every day?
Before 606 could react, he heard Yu Wei say:
"She even spoke. She said she was your neighbor across the street and wanted to come in and see you... Should I open the door for her?"
