The Third Research Base of the Savior Organization, Area 3 of the Accommodation Area.
Tang Ziping, wearing rimless glasses, stood uneasily on the balcony. There were constant gunshots in the distance. He judged that the location was not in the direction of the underground research institute.
"What happened over there? Wasn't there an infection on the seventh floor of the underground research institute?"
Tang Ziping clenched the balcony armrest with one hand, looking uneasy.
Not long after the infection occurred on the seventh floor, the base immediately issued a notice to other grassroots levels, asking all people on other levels to evacuate urgently.
Tang Ziping was still conducting research and experiments on infectious agents on the fifth floor. When he heard the announcement, he hurriedly put aside his research and rushed to the elevator entrance. There were many people who got on the elevator together, and they all looked panicked.
People on the fourth floor of the underground research institute did not know about the infection. They only received notification from the base that a fire broke out on the seventh underground floor and they needed to evacuate as soon as possible.
After getting out of the elevator, Tang Ziping saw a group of armed men guarding the surrounding area, and told everyone that they needed to return to their rooms as soon as possible and wait for notification from the base.
Tang Ziping focused on the distance.
Suddenly, a roar sounded from downstairs of Tang Ziping. Tang Ziping frowned, lowered his head and looked down, but did not see anything unusual.
Just when he was puzzled, half of his head suddenly emerged from under the balcony. The head's face was covered with red spots. It seemed that it had noticed Tang Ziping upstairs. The half of the head suddenly turned its head and met Tang Ziping's gaze. Go up.
Tang Ziping's pupils shrank, his face was full of horror, the eyes on his head were scarlet, infected!
Tang Ziping was frightened by this and quickly retreated to the back of the balcony so that the infected people downstairs could not see him.
"How can there be infected people in the accommodation area? The accommodation area is infected!"
Tang Ziping was horrified and straightened the frame of his rimless glasses that had slipped with his right hand.
Not caring about anything else, Tang Ziping immediately left the balcony and came to the door. He lay down at the door and listened. There was no movement outside, which meant that no one was in the corridor.
Tang Ziping no longer hesitated, immediately opened the door and ran to the left. On his left was the elevator going downstairs.
Once an infected person appears in the accommodation area, it means that you must not stay here for a long time. It will definitely not only be the person downstairs who is infected, but other people may also be slowly infected.
Just when Tang Ziping pressed the elevator button on the first floor and the elevator door slowly closed, a hand suddenly stretched out from the crack of the elevator door.
Tang Ziping was so frightened that he took two steps back and carefully observed the marks on his hands. There were no red spots and he was a normal person.
The elevator door failed to close and detected a foreign object obstructing it, so it slowly opened again. Only then did Tang Ziping see the person clearly.
He was wearing a white coat and had a work badge around his neck. Tang Ziping didn't look at the work badge. He knew the person was coming when he saw the other person's face. He was a colleague on the fifth floor, and he was also the one who was often late. Xun Chengzhi .
"You found an infection too?"
When Tang Ziping saw Xun Chengzhi enter the elevator in a panic, his expression still panicked, he guessed that Xun Chengzhi must have noticed the infection in the accommodation area.
"I was on the balcony just now and saw someone next door getting infected. It scared me to death."
After Xun Chengzhi entered the elevator, he quickly pressed the elevator close button, hoping that the elevator door would close quickly.
The two of them had the same idea. When they saw an infection in this place, they both wanted to leave here immediately to avoid being infected themselves.
The elevator door finally closed slowly. Both of them looked slightly relaxed. They stared at the elevator door and did not continue to communicate. After a while, a feeling of weightlessness came, and the elevator quickly descended and moved to the first floor.
Seeing that the elevator door had just opened, Tang Ziping and Xun Chengzhi carefully observed it. After confirming that there was no problem, they ran towards the door.
The infection must have just begun, and the number of infected people was not large, which gave the two a chance to escape.
As soon as they left the gate, the two heard the roars of infected people coming from several surrounding buildings one after another.
Several of the infected people were standing on the balcony. When they saw Tang Ziping and Xun Chengzhi, they jumped directly from the balcony on the seventh floor. They were smashed into pieces and blood spattered everywhere.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, they really lost their minds!
But there were also some infected people who jumped from the lower balcony, broke their legs, and limped towards the two of them. Their eyes were scarlet and their bodies were covered with red spots. They were still yelling, as if they were telling them to stop.
"Where are you going?"
Tang Ziping turned to look at Xun Chengzhi and asked. The two of them didn't pay much attention to the disabled infected people coming towards them. At this speed, even if they walked 100 meters ahead, they might not be able to catch up with them.
"I have a suitable hiding place, do you want to come with me?"
Xun Chengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Tang Ziping was startled, he was just about to say this.
In an instant, Tang Ziping had a lot of thoughts in his mind. To stabilize his mind, he suppressed these thoughts, adjusted his rimless glasses, smiled slightly and said: "I am a secret knife."
Surprise flashed in Xun Chengzhi's eyes, he quickly calmed down, changed his expression, and said with a bit of joking: "North Wind."
The two looked at each other and smiled at this moment.
"Since it's someone with a hidden knife, let's go to your side."
Xun Chengzhi said that the Dark Saber is much stronger than Bei Feng, second only to the Savior, and its concealment and safety are not bad.
The two looked back at the approaching infected people and decided not to stay any longer. Tang Ziping led the way and Xun Chengzhi followed behind.
As they passed through several accommodation buildings, both of them frowned slightly. The number of infected people in the accommodation area had increased a lot.
Judging from this trend, it will not take too long for all accommodation areas to be infected.
The Savior's No. 3 Research Base is considered gone. Later, it will be reported to the organization to explain the situation and there is no need to stay at this base.
Both of them thought so.
The gunfire in the distance seemed to be more intense, and the gunfire was getting closer and closer to the accommodation area, which gave both of them bad thoughts.
Suddenly, a group of infected people rushed out of the building, and the door of the building was near the two of them.
This startled the two of them, and their pace suddenly quickened and they ran forward crazily.
But after running for a while, Xun Chengzhi suddenly felt something was not right.
"These infected people don't seem to be chasing us."
Xun Chengzhi turned around and kept observing the situation of the infected people, and saw that the direction in which they were running was towards the sound of gunfire.
"How can it be?"
Tang Ziping's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. They have been studying infected people for a long time. They know the nature of infected people very well. They will never let go of any living thing in front of them!
But the situation of this group of infected people subverted their research. They did not attack each other, and they were running in formation.
"Too strange."
Tang Ziping's frameless lenses flashed with light. He was obsessed with research related to infection. If he had the opportunity, he would definitely study these infected people. However, the situation was different now and he could only give up the idea of research.
The two of them hid in one place and watched secretly. The infected people really ran towards the direction of the gunshots and ignored them. It could even be said that they ignored them.
Just when the two were surprised, another group of infected employees came down from the community building and rushed towards the direction of the gunfire.
It was a strange situation. Tang Ziping had never encountered such a situation since he had been studying it for so long.
"Is there something over there that attracts infected people?"
Tang Ziping couldn't help but guess, his brows furrowed slightly and his eyes showed confusion.
"Let's go quickly! If we stay any longer, I'm afraid that both of us will also be infected."
Xun Chengzhi quickly urged from the side that he didn't want to stay here for a moment, for fear of getting infected if he stayed for a long time.
Tang Ziping nodded. He clearly understood the priorities of things. Now was not the time to observe.
…
At the sound of gunfire, Shen Xingchang controlled the infected armed personnel and retreated while fighting. The retreat direction was toward the accommodation area.
After knowing that there were infections in the accommodation area, Shen Xingchang wanted to use these infected people to buy time.
Sensing his thoughts, Shen Xingchang controlled the infected employees in the accommodation area and issued an order for these infected people to come here.
There are only about twenty armed men left that he can control now, and all other infected armed men have been shot and killed. Of course, their deaths were not in vain, as they shot down many drones and destroyed more than a dozen robots.
But for hundreds of robots and drones, this damage can be ignored.
The latest batch of infected employees in the accommodation area ran straight towards Shen Xingchang.
This group was small in number and had no armor or weapons. Shen Xingchang could only choose to use them as cannon fodder and order them to rush towards the robot group.
As for how much time it would take, Shen Xingchang had no idea. Anyway, there were many infected employees. If he sent them all to the battlefield, even without any armor, he would still consume the opponent's bullets.
Just as Shen Xingchang was trying to delay time, he suddenly sensed that there were two people in strange positions around him.
"underground?"
Shen Xingchang was slightly stunned. As the head of the base's armed forces, he had very clear plans for the buildings in this base. Except for the underground research institute, there would be no other buildings underground at all. And judging from their positions, it was clearly not underground research. Place.
This made Shen Xingchang feel strange. If he hadn't had the ability to perceive, he would never have thought that there would be such a strange place in the base.
And this place is not in the overall scan and construction diagram of the base at all.
Shen Xingchang's masked eyes narrowed slightly. It was obvious that this place could block the base's scanning, and someone did it deliberately.
With these guesses proving, Shen Xingchang became curious about the identities of the two people. The real identities of these two people were definitely not from the Savior Organization, so they must be other forces.
The situation here is dangerous. Hundreds of robots are constantly pressing in with laser guns, and drones are lingering in the sky. It is almost impossible to hide them.
But with this place, hiding is not impossible.
His task is just to delay, and the longer the delay is, the better it will be for him.
"But these two people are sane and it's not easy to control them."
"It can only be psychological suggestion."
Shen Xingchang had an idea in his mind, and he used psychological hints many times, not only with the people who had escorted him, but also with a person whom he also used psychological hints, and that was Wei Kaiji.
His psychological suggestion to Wei Kaiji was very simple, that is, infection contains the secret of becoming a god, and it is constantly being strengthened in secret.
…
Somewhere underground in the research base, Tang Ziping and Xun Chengzhi sat nervously on chairs.
"Are you sure we're not infected?"
Xun Chengzhi suddenly asked.
"Probably not. More than half of the residents in the accommodation area are infected, and we don't have early symptoms of infection yet."
Tang Ziping shook his head and said that since he learned the identity of the other party Xun Chengzhi and the two sides talked, he knew that Xun Chengzhi's academic level was terrible, and he didn't know basic research common sense.
He was often late on purpose, just to reduce his time at the institute and prevent others from seeing through him.
I don’t know how this guy got in. Tang Ziping was itching to have teeth. In order to enter this research base, he had to choose from thousands of people in the organization. It is not an exaggeration to say that he passed five levels and killed six generals. It took a lot of effort to qualify. Enter this research base to steal information.
According to Xun Chengzhi, their organization was not so strict. They just drew lots. He was not lucky enough to be assigned, and he was very distressed.
Tang Ziping's words made Xun Chengzhi feel at ease, as long as he was not infected.
"Don't you think it's strange that something like this happened in the base? Which force do you think is responsible?"
Xun Chengzhi held his chin with one hand and said solemnly.
"It's not Dark Knife, nor Bei Feng, then it could be Black Crow or Dawn. This method of action is a bit like Dawn's method, but I haven't figured out what their purpose is yet?"
Tang Ziping looked thoughtful and frowned.
They didn't know anything about such a big thing happening, and even after it happened, they didn't know what the other party's purpose was. For them, this was a dereliction of duty.
"Are you going to reinstate your superiors like this? I don't want to."
Xun Chengzhi's expression was ugly, and when he returned to his superiors like this, he could completely imagine the attitude of his superiors - trash, you don't know anything about it, what do you want from you?
Tang Ziping's expression was equally ugly and he said: "Then we can only go up and take a look. At least we have to know which force is fighting."
The two of them looked at each other and felt helpless.
On the ground, Shen Xingchang's masked head turned slightly and looked in the direction of Tang Ziping and Xun Chengzhi.
They came up.
"Follow me..."
Shen Xingchang had a two-tailed cat lying on his shoulders, conveying his thoughts to Zhao Yixiong and Wang Wen.
Zhao Yixiong and Wang Wen, who were wearing isolation suits, nodded. The isolation suits they were wearing had been damaged in many places during the hurried dodging during the gun battle, and they looked in a miserable state.
Shen Xingchang ran in one direction, followed by Zhao Yixiong and Wang Wen.
At the same time, Shen Xingchang controlled a large number of infected people coming from the accommodation area and rushed towards the robot's gun.
The drones in the sky noticed Shen Xingchang's actions, and dozens of drones left the battlefield and chased after Shen Xingchang.
Da da da!
Countless bullets were fired from the muzzle of the drone, creating craters and splashing dust around Shen Xingchang and the other three.
The small number of infected armed men immediately raised their guns and fired at the drones following the three people in the sky. Some drones were unable to dodge quickly and were hit by bullets, and fell from the sky with smoke at their tails.
Shen Xingchang's arms were bandaged, and his body was not flexible enough while running. He was shot several times in the back by the drones overhead. Blood spattered everywhere. His body staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Since Zhao Yixiong and Wang Wen were not the main targets, there were very few drones attacking them, which prevented them from being shot and injured for the time being.
The three of them ran all the way, and Shen Xingchang's back was completely stained with blood.
Tang Ziping and Xun Chengzhi, who had just emerged from the ground, had their eyes wide open. Not far away, they saw one wearing a mask and two people wearing tattered isolation suits rushing towards them desperately.
There were dozens of drones in the sky shooting all the way behind.
Danger!
Both of them trembled in their hearts and were ready to immediately open the downward passage and enter the underground.
"Follow them and go in with them!"
Shen Xingchang passed the message to Zhao Yixiong and Wang Wen.
Tang Ziping and Xun Chengzhi had no idea that their current behavior was a psychological suggestion planted by Shen Xingchang.
Tang Ziping quickly opened the passage, and a secret door opened from the ground. Below was an elevator.
Tang Ziping jumped down first, followed closely by Xun Chengzhi, but at this time Tang Ziping was panicking, as if he suddenly forgot how to close the secret door, and did not close the secret door for a long time.
"Close it!"
Xun Chengzhi yanked on Tang Ziping's clothes and roared, his hormones were soaring now.
"Wait... let me think about it..."
Tang Ziping looked panicked, he really couldn't remember suddenly.
At this moment, three figures fell from the sky, as if they were electrocuted. Tang Ziping suddenly remembered the switch and closed the secret door. He and Xun Chengzhi were knocked to the ground by the three figures.
