The moment Zhou Rong entered the water, he only had one feeling – it was so cold.

The water was bone-chilling. He struggled to swim up, and with the help of the light from his helmet, he saw that Zhang Yingjie was entangled by two huge white shadows not far from his feet. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from the entanglement of the zombies.

Zhou Rong was afraid of hitting Zhang Yingjie, so he aimed at the zombies before firing a shot. But shooting underwater caused the bullet to deviate, and it only hit the back of the zombies!

It didn't help at all!

The violent movements caused the oxygen consumption to increase. Zhang Yingjie finally couldn't hold his breath. A series of air bubbles were squeezed out of his lungs, and he sank silently.

Zhou Rong cursed in his heart and decisively dived. One of the giant zombies soaked in water came back to catch him, but the other one chased after Zhang Yingjie.

Zhou Rong used the butt of his gun to push the zombie back. The reaction force made his back hit the wall of the elevator, and then he bounced back.

The zombie opened its almost melted mouth and approached again. Zhou Rong pressed the muzzle of his gun against the zombie's upper jaw, and a bullet burst its head into pieces!

The zombie sank quickly with a trail of black blood. Zhou Rong felt that the oxygen had reached its limit, but he didn't have the slightest hesitation. He dived in the direction where Zhang Yingjie disappeared.

Among the many drowning situations, jumping into a well was the least likely to save someone.

Because the well walls were smooth and there were no pressure points, it was difficult to struggle to float up in a narrow space. Zhou Rong accelerated diving would cause the water pressure to rise sharply, and the oxygen consumption would reach the limit in an instant.

Zhou Rong's lungs twitched violently, and he clenched his teeth to hold the last bit of oxygen. Suddenly, the water beside him surged violently, and the zombie that was chasing Zhang Yingjie earlier floated up!

– Fuck!

This was the last thought in Zhou Rong's mind. His blood boiled, and he fiercely punched out!

If this was on land, Zhou Rong's right fist had the highest impact force of 400 kilograms, and in the ring, he could at least defeat a small boxing champion.

However, the lack of oxygen and the flow of water reduced a considerable part of the force of the attack. The zombie's chest was completely collapsed, and then it staggered and pounced on him.

Zhou Rong's vision turned black. He struggled to pick up the gun and pulled the trigger!

The bullets that were randomly fired turned the bottom of the water murky. Countless cotton-like tissues burst out of the zombie's head and body, and it finally floated away completely.

At this moment, Zhou Rong could no longer feel the existence of his limbs.

He put away his gun and sank down mechanically. His hands groped around until he finally found a motionless foot at the bottom.

Hard-soled military boots, combat gear, and a tactical backpack … It was Zhang Yingjie!

It was as if a cardiac stimulant had been injected into his body. Zhou Rong used the last of his strength to lift himself up and tried his best to kick his legs and float upwards.

Then, his feet sank!

Two cold and stiff hands reached out from the bottom of the elevator shaft and grabbed his ankles.

The water rushed upwards, and a disgusting and soft zombie rose up like a ghost. It bit Zhou Rong's calf through his camouflage pants!

"…!!"

Zhou Rong crazily kicked his legs, and the water splashed, but the dizziness caused by the extreme lack of oxygen made his vision turn black. He couldn't even take out his gun.

In the midst of his struggle, he opened his mouth, and this insignificant action almost ended his life.

Because his throat loosened, the last of the air in his lungs was instantly twisted clean, and a large number of air bubbles spurted out.

Is this … the end?

Hua —

A strong light shone down from above, and a figure quickly dived down. In a flash, it brushed past Zhou Rong!

Zhou Rong was truly an arrow at the end of its flight. His blurred vision could barely see anything.

The last scene before he fainted was that the person had a dagger in his mouth and was rushing straight to the zombie. The light reflected his cold and handsome face.

— It was Sinan.

Zhou Rong closed his eyes and finally lost consciousness.

"There's still a pulse …"

"Hold on!

… "

"He moved!

He moved! "

Zhou Rong suddenly opened his eyes, struggled to sit up, and coughed out a large amount of saliva.

This cough made the world dark, and it almost tore his lungs into pieces and twisted them out of his throat.

After a long while, Zhou Rong finally stopped coughing. He was panting heavily, and said hoarsely, "Yingjie, he …"

Chun Cao was pleasantly surprised, "Brother Rong is fine!

— Hey, Si Xiaonan?! "

Zhou Rongyi raised his head and saw Sinan kneeling beside him. The moment he heard the words "he's fine," he quietly fell back.

Zhou Rong was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to hold Sinan. He saw that Sinan's whole body was wet, and his face was pale. He had already fainted.

"You're exhausted," Chun Cao's face was full of fatigue, "We took turns to give you CPR and CPR for more than ten minutes."

Zhou Rong leaned against the corner of the wall, put Sinan's head on his abdomen, and tiredly looked around.

They had already arrived at West B, which should be a staff's office. The concrete walls were splattered with blood, the papers were scattered all over the floor, the alloy door was closed, and the dull roars of zombies could be faintly heard from the corridor.

Zhang Yingjie was lying motionless beside him. At first glance, he looked like he was dead, but upon closer inspection, his chest was moving up and down rhythmically.

Zhou Rong opened his mouth and coughed twice. After choking on water, his throat was in severe pain, and he reluctantly asked, "What's going on?"

"The space in the elevator shaft is limited, Si Xiaonan and I were afraid that you two wouldn't be able to move freely. However, after waiting for two or three minutes, there was no movement, so we could only jump down to look for you.

In the end, we found that you were entangled by zombies. Si Xiaonan used a dagger to mince the head of the zombie that bit you. Then I detonated the electronic bomb, and we were washed out of the elevator shaft together … "

"But the impact of the explosion was too strong, and you and Yingjie both hit your heads," Chun Cao looked at Zhang Yingjie worriedly, "Did you become stupid?"

Zhou Rong thought of something, and looked down at his calf.

The camouflage trousers had been bitten into tatters, but thanks to the full-body bulletproof vest, his flesh wasn't injured.

"Was Yingjie …" Zhou Rong whispered.

"No, he was wearing a gas mask when he was washed out, so he must have covered his head and face when he was dragged into the water by the zombies.

But his clothes were completely torn, and there were many abrasions and contusions all over his body, so we didn't have time to check. "

Zhou Rong turned over and checked Zhang Yingjie's pulse. Although it was weak, it was stable, so he was relieved.

Suddenly, he found a trace of blood under Zhang Yingjie's nose. He suddenly realized something, and raised his hand to touch his nose. Sure enough, his hand was full of blood because of the water pressure. He immediately had a headache, "What happened?!

Just now, Sinan — "

Sinan's side face was pillowed on Zhou Rong's strong abdominal muscles. He was groggy and unconscious.

"Dad, you're in luck today."

Chun Cao said weakly, "You didn't see Si Xiaonan's condition when we rescued you. He was already dying, and his mind was not clear. When we were massaging his heart, I suspected that he could break your ribs with his bare hands.

I told him to rest and let me switch hands, but he couldn't hear me even if I shouted into his ear … "

Zhou Rong was stunned.

"Also," Spring Grass said sincerely, "the two of you danced with the zombies for so long, the smell was really touching. Speaking of which, Si Xiaonan might have fainted because of the smell of you two …"

Zhou Rong finally relaxed completely. He leaned back against the wall and let out a long sigh.

Although Sinan was not aware of the alpha pheromone, his physiology was still affected. He was a little uncomfortable in his sleep, and kept tossing and turning restlessly.

Zhou Rong hugged him and moved him up a little so that his body was nestled in the crook of his strong arms. He patted his back gently, trying to comfort him this way.

After a long time, Sinan finally calmed down a little. His breathing gradually became deeper, but his eyebrows were still unconsciously wrinkled.

His face was still very young, and because he was a mixed-blood, his eyebrows were more three-dimensional than ordinary people. His skin was cold and white after being soaked in water.

But there were wrinkles between his eyebrows, as if he was always slightly wrinkled and had a lot on his mind.

Zhou Rong fed him some water and wiped the water stains with his thumb, leaving a slight red mark on the corner of his lips.

"I was careless. I should have thought of it when I didn't see the car in the elevator shaft."

Zhou Rong said in a low voice, "At the moment when the virus broke out and the power was cut, the elevator car directly fell to the bottom. There were a few people inside who didn't die, but their wounds were infected by the underground water containing the virus and turned into zombies. They have been moving around at the bottom of the elevator shaft … Fortunately, everyone is okay, otherwise …"

He paused and didn't say anything else.

"Otherwise what? Are you going to pay with your life?"

Chun Cao smiled lazily, "Don't be silly, Brother Rong. Life and death are predestined. Everyone knows this."

Zhou Rong laughed and stopped talking about this topic. Sinan shivered uneasily in his arms and slowly opened his eyes.

"…"

Zhou Rong leaned closer and heard him whisper, "… You have a smell …"

Zhou Rong paused and patted his face with a smile, "You've been soaked in the underground water. Do you still expect to smell like Chanel No. 5?

It's normal to have a smell, okay? "

Sinan closed his eyes and opened them again after a while. After repeating this a few times, he finally woke up. He sat up and asked, "What time is it?"

Chun Cao was leaning on the opposite side and looking at her cheapskate father with a condemning gaze. Hearing this, she tapped on the luminous dial, "11: 30. It's been five and a half hours since we entered the base."

"Very good. We've rested and are ready to go!"

Zhou Rongyi kicked Zhang Yingjie's butt, but the latter didn't move at all. He was still sleeping soundly and even made a slight snoring sound.

Zhou Rong had no choice but to let Chun Cao carry Zhang Yingjie. He carried Chun Cao's equipment and stood up shakily.

"We're at the entrance of the base's communication center. The emergency satellite communication room is here."

Zhou Rong made a red mark on the map and said, "It's about two hundred meters in a straight line. We need to pass through two corridors and an alloy safety door. Comrade Xiao Si is responsible for blasting."

"After sending the satellite communication, it's estimated that we'll be able to move to Area E within two hours. The Biological Virus Research Institute is here … This is a high-risk area. Don't stay here for too long. Once it's confirmed that we can't break through, we'll evacuate immediately.

The evacuation route is according to our previous calculations. We'll gather at the entrance of the light rail station in the central area. If Yan Hao's team isn't completely wiped out, we'll be able to take the new armored vehicle when we get back. "Zhou Rong waved the tablet in front of everyone," … Any questions? "

No one raised their hand.

Chun Cao struggled to drag Zhang Yingjie, who could only drag his feet on the ground.

Sinan sat cross-legged and rubbed his eyes until the corners of his eyes turned red. Obviously, he wasn't fully awake yet.

"Good, everyone's fighting spirit is very high!"

Zhou Rongyi clapped his hands and said in high spirits, "Now, please follow me and march towards the dawn of victory!"

Zhou Rong turned around and suddenly Sinan's voice came from behind him, "Brother Rong."

“？”

Zhou Rongghui turned his head. Before he could say anything, he was hugged tightly.

Sinan's face was almost buried in Zhou Rong's neck. He didn't speak or move.

He maintained this posture for more than ten seconds before he finally raised his head and patted Zhou Rong's back, which was as taut as a rock, as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"Great, you're not dead."

Sinan took half a step back and looked into Zhou Rong's eyes. He said seriously, "I won't let any of you die."

Then he bent down to pick up the tactical backpack, walked around Zhou Rongyi's motionless body, and walked away.

The air froze for a long time before Zhou Rong's eyes finally blinked. It was as if a switch had been turned on, and he came back to life.

"… Cao 'er," he seemed to be floating in the clouds, "Dad will give you one last chance … Yan Hao or Dad, who are you on?"

However, Chun Cao looked at him sympathetically and slowly shook her head,

"I only know that when he finds out that he's been deceived by us in the future, you'll be f * cked very badly, worse than Yan Hao …"
