Zhan Lan suddenly said, "I feel very excited, a little thrilled..."
Zheng Zha, Zhang Li, and Li Xiaoyi were all speechless. This seemingly quiet but fierce woman seemed... a bit abnormal!
Less than a minute later, the entire room lit up again.
Matthew Addison and Alice emerged from the central computer room. The mercenary captain, looking exhausted, said, "Let's get the Flame Queen's motherboard back to the company first. Kaplan, how's the Hive?"
Kaplan pressed a few keys on the computer and said, "Great, all defense systems are off. We can leave the hive in a straight line without any problem."
Matthew Addison nodded and said, "Very well, so now we..."
Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out from outside. Matthew Addison and Kaplan exchanged a glance, grabbed their guns, and ran outside.
Alice, Ryan, and Matt also ran out.
Li Ling and the others followed behind them, running outside into the spacious hall.
The green lights on the containers that were holding the crawlers have all turned red, which means that the freezing of the crawlers has failed and soon, one by one, the crawlers will break out of the containers!
Zheng Zha, Zhang Li, Li Xiaoyi, Zhan Lan, and others who were familiar with the plot felt a chill in their hearts. The terrifying number of crawlers was definitely not something that human beings could contend with!
Only Li Ling's eyes shone slightly.
When the group arrived, the long-haired female mercenary, Rain, was clenching her fists and cursing. Matthew Addison asked, "What happened? I heard gunshots!"
A large chunk of flesh was missing between Ryan's thumb and forefinger, leaving a bloody and gruesome sight. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Sir, we found a survivor, but he's gone mad and bit me."
Matthew Addison frowned. "So you fired?"
"Sir," Ryan shouted back, "he's gone mad!"
"He's gone!" Zhang Jie's voice suddenly came over. He walked over, looked at the pool of blood on the ground, and said calmly, "He was just here, but now he's disappeared."
Matthew Addison walked up to the bloodstain, squatted down, and glanced at it. The blood was semi-dry and thick, definitely not fresh blood that had just flowed from the body. Immediately, he had a bad feeling.
After standing up, Matthew Addison shouted, "Let's get out of the hive right now!"
Raine was surprised and asked, "Sir? Weren't our orders to stay here and wait for reinforcements after we obtained the Flame Queen motherboard?"
Matthew Addison shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There are no more reinforcements... Time to leave!"
At this moment, Zhan Lan walked to Zhang Jie's side and asked softly, "Weren't you afraid that your sudden words would change the plot?"
Zhang Jie scoffed, "Change the plot?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Zha and Li Ling, and said, "You two are the real experts. As newcomers, you actually managed to change the plot and survive. Take a good look at your watches, is Matthew Addison's name still on them?"
Everyone looked at their watches, and sure enough, Matthew Addison's name was no longer on them; the space was now blank.
Zhang Jie said with a sneer, "From now on, we are free to move around. Remember, you can do anything, as long as you can survive!"
"Hiss~ Hiss~~"
Just then, the sound of metal scraping came from not far away, and Ryan and J.D. walked towards it with their guns drawn.
After walking a few steps, a man in a lab coat emerged from around the corner, dragging a hammer, followed by several 'people' who were walking unsteadily.
J.D. cocked his gun, pointed it at the 'people,' and shouted, 'Stop! Or I'll shoot!'
These 'people' naturally couldn't stand still; they had already been infected by the T-virus and turned into zombies. With their appearance, more and more swaying zombies kept appearing around the corners.
They were all wearing work clothes or research suits, their bodies had begun to rot, and some had ankles that were completely twisted and deformed, yet they were still walking.
Some of them even had only half their heads remaining, with rotting bones and brain matter exposed, making them look extremely disgusting.
"Stop! Or we'll shoot!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "bang!" was heard from the side.
Matthew Addison was the first to fire at the zombies, and the leader of the zombies, who was wielding a hammer, was sent flying.
But soon, he staggered to his feet, having been shot more than ten times, yet he hadn't lost much blood.
"Bang!"
The Desert Eagle in Zhang Jie's hand made a sound, and its immense power struck the zombie's head, instantly rendering the zombie unable to stand up again.
He sneered and said, "You guys go find the exit, leave this to me!"
Matthew Addison hesitated for a moment, then said loudly, "Alright, everyone maintain formation! J.D., go find the exit! Ryan, guard the prisoner, the rest of you stay with me!"
J.D. accepted the order and left, while the others maintained their formation, remaining vigilant and defensive.
Li Ling walked up to the female medic, and under the shy gaze of this beautiful foreign medic, he beckoned to the chubby boy and said, "Come here!"
"Big Brother." The chubby boy was slightly taken aback. He admired his older brother, who still had the mind to flirt with girls in this critical situation where the city was besieged by zombies! But he didn't expect that his older brother was calling him.
Li Ling pointed to the box in the chubby boy's hand and said to the female medic, "Raine has been infected with the T-virus. Only the antidote serum inside can save her."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. (Wish Star of All Realms)
