Volume 1 Three Months After the End of the World Chapter 38 The Sole Survivor in the Laboratory
“Save me!”
"Help!"
"Save me! There are still living people inside," a hoarse voice continued to come out from inside.
Shen Jin and Yang Ao were shocked when they heard this. There was actually someone alive in this laboratory!
Shen Jin winked at Yang Ao, "If something goes wrong, kill first and report later!"
"clear!"
Yang Ao did not show any mercy at all just because the staff here were the team left by his father .
As long as the people inside showed any uncooperative behavior, his magic sword would fall instantly.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The diamond pickaxe knocked around, revealing a hole that was instantly blocked by thick glass. Shen Jin would not let his guard down just because someone of his kind was inside.
The strong light of the flashlight shone in, revealing the scenery inside.
A man in a white coat, who looked to be in his 30s, was squatting with a listless look in front of the transparent glass facing the first floor lobby.
I took pictures at other locations and found nothing unusual.
Shen Jin smashed the glass again, shone the strong flashlight on the white coat's face, and shouted: "Who's inside, are you the only one on the second floor?"
The man in the white coat covered his eyes and said weakly, "Yes, they are all dead... I am the only one left in the whole laboratory. Are you from the government?"
"We are not from the government, but we are the ones who can save you!"
Shen Jin smashed open another piece of the alloy door, revealing a passage that people could pass through.
A strange smell of human excrement wafted out, and the two men wrinkled their noses.
Yang Ao walked in with a sword in hand and scanned the surroundings with his flashlight. "No one is there, it's safe!"
Shen Jin took out a torch from the package and lit it with flint.
“Boom!”
Bright flames rose up, lighting up the entire second floor.
"Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten for almost a week!"
Shen Jin looked at the half-empty bottle of yellow liquid at the feet of his white coat and kicked it aside.
He lifted the man in the white coat's chin with his sword and carefully confirmed that he was a human and had not been bitten.
"Answer my question first, then you'll have something to eat!"
The man in the white coat uttered a weak "hmm".
"What kind of lab is this? What's your name? What are you responsible for here?"
"This is... the Level 4 Biosafety Research Laboratory of Future Pharmaceuticals. It mainly studies genetic drugs. My name is Fu Wei, and I'm the chief engineer of this project!"
Yang Ao nodded secretly. He had heard about this person from his father.
"Where are the other people in the lab? Did anyone escape?"
"No, they are all dead..."
Shen Jin seemed to be thinking about something, as if he had thought of a possibility.
"Let me ask you one last question. What have you been eating to survive until now?"
Fu Wei laughed bitterly: "If there is food, eat food. If there is no food, eat shit. There was no shit last week!"
Shen Jin asked Yang Ao to watch the white coat while he walked around the second floor. He did not find any human body parts or blood residues, so he finally believed the white coat.
"You are a ruthless person. Here, eat. When you are full, tell me what happened here! "
Shen Jin took out a bottle of mineral water and a pack of compressed biscuits and threw them to the man in the white coat.
Fu Wei picked it up, tore open the package roughly, and smelled the aroma of the compressed biscuits.
He carefully took a small bite, chewed it for a few times, and swallowed it with a sip of mineral water.
After repeating this for more than a dozen times and eating half a biscuit, Fu Wei stopped even though his stomach was still sending hunger signals.
Fu Wei's face showed a relaxed and satisfied look.
“This is the most delicious cookie I have ever eaten in my life!”
Shen Jin nodded slightly. Even after being hungry for a week, he was still able to resist the urge to overeat. He was a self-controlled person.
Fu Wei, who had regained some strength, slowly told the two what happened in the laboratory after the apocalypse.
The laboratory is completely closed. The door is not opened for people outside, and people inside cannot go out. There is only a landline on the second floor in the entire laboratory that can contact people outside. The entire laboratory has a strict disinfection system, and the indoor air pressure is much higher than that outside. Logically, no virus will be allowed in.
However, the end of the world came just like that. That afternoon, 60% of the people in the entire laboratory suddenly started bleeding from the mouth and eyes and fell to the ground convulsing. Fu Wei went to the second floor to call for help, but before the call went through, there were already screams from downstairs.
Those former colleagues went crazy and started attacking all the people who had not turned into zombies.
The weak experimenters were knocked down one by one, and the entire floor turned into a living hell.
Fu Wei quickly locked the password door on the second floor. This is where important information and results of the entire laboratory are stored, and the security measures are very strong.
The glass is explosion-proof and the door is made of high-density alloy. He saw his colleagues running to the second floor, but he didn't dare to open the door...
The zombies were behind him and he was scared.
In just one afternoon, he was the only living person left in the fully enclosed laboratory.
The other colleagues were eaten by the first person to turn into zombies, and those who were not eaten also stood up staggeringly and joined the eating team.
There were 59 people in the entire laboratory, and only 40 zombies and him were left alive.
The zombies kept wandering around, and Fu Wei kept making phone calls, but no one answered.
In the first month, the zombies destroyed everything below and ate up everything edible. All kinds of chemical agents were eaten up by the hungry zombies.
They underwent their first mutation, with various pustules growing on their heads and bodies. Some emitted white gas, and some zombie heads even glowed.
Fu Wei lived in fear on the daily necessities of the laboratory.
In the second month, the zombies that had completely lost their energy sources fell down one after another. The other zombies originally ignored this and just stopped wandering around and stood quietly.
Until... the first zombie that ate zombie corpses appeared!
It replenished its energy, and its body mutated, becoming extremely powerful. The rest of the zombies also began to eat the fallen zombies. Without exception, their body functions evolved. Some zombies even had more sensitive sensory systems. They discovered him on the second floor and began to bang on the door day and night.
Fu Wei began to eat the little food he had sparingly.
This time there are only 15 zombies left.
In the third month, the activity of the mutated zombies became lower and lower, but due to their tenacious vitality, no zombie fell yet. Until suddenly a zombie jumped up, tore open the head of a dying zombie with its claws, and had a full meal.
Fu Wei watched with his own eyes as hard cuticle appeared on its body; it began to evolve again!
After eating the first one, there appeared the second and the third. This super zombie that eats zombies finally ate all the other 14 zombies.
On that day, the zombies' roars were earth-shaking. One punch could create a big hole in steel equipment. One leap could reach a height of 6 meters. Their saliva and pus could corrode ordinary metals.
Moreover, his senses were extremely sharp and he immediately spotted Fu Wei behind the glass on the second floor.
It jumped up from the ground and hammered the explosion-proof glass on the second floor, and smashed the alloy door from the corridor.
Fortunately, the materials used in this laboratory are all top-notch. Even zombies that have evolved three times are still unable to shake the power of technology.
Fu Wei's food was almost gone, so he started to save his shit and urine...
After Shen Jin heard this, he was secretly surprised:
Being able to survive in the dark for three months, eating shit and drinking urine to stay alive, this amazing survival instinct and tenacious will make him worthy of being the chief engineer of the laboratory.
If such people can do good things, they can become top scholars and engineers.
If you go astray, you will become a top killer!
During this period of time, Shen Jin had surprised Wei twice.
The same was true for Yang Ao. He had heard about this person from his father and knew that he was a capable man under his father and a rare biological genius in the world.
I didn't expect that he is not only strong in knowledge, but also in mental quality!
Any ordinary person would have been scared to death or driven crazy long ago.
"Such a safe laboratory couldn't escape the attack of the zombie virus. Where did the virus come from?"
"The third month of the apocalypse... If super-evolved zombies like this were out there, I don't know how many human settlements would be destroyed!"
"Super sensitive induction, super high bounce, super fast speed, super strong strength, super hard body, and corrosive attack!"
Even if Lu Qiang unlocked the gene lock, he would only be killed!
The humans outside...
Without hot weapons, how can we fight zombies?
Shen Jin felt more and more that the rescue that the government had promised would be difficult to come by.
