Undead
Chapter 21
The communication center, which covered an area of several hundred square meters, was filled with bullets. Glass tubes and broken bricks were flying everywhere. The entire display screen was shot into pieces. Other than the misty green in the laser night vision goggles, almost nothing could be seen clearly.
Spring Grass desperately climbed to the top of the mainframe. While firing, she jumped up, trying to jump on the back of the zombie gorilla's neck and hit its head.
But she was still in the air when the gorilla hit her with its arm. She was thrown out like a cannonball!
"Roar —"
Zhou Rong's face was covered in blood. The strong alpha pheromone had greatly stimulated the zombie beast's madness.
It ignored the Sinan's fiercely spitting submachine gun in the distance. It stepped on the equipment and the iron frame into pieces and waved its paw at Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong rolled and crawled back. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw half of the Type 89 HMG buried in the ruins. He rolled on the ground and stretched out his hand to pull it, but it didn't move!
Just as he was about to be smashed into meat paste, a strong force suddenly came from the side of his body. Someone rushed over diagonally, pulled Zhou Rong and rolled several times. The front paw of the gorilla was close to his ear and smashed the ground.
"Yingjie?!"
Zhang Yingjie gasped and seemed to be very uncomfortable. "Run, run …"
Zhou Rong pulled him up, but before he could stand firm, the gorilla's forearm swept over like a truck and knocked them both away at the same time!
Sinan felt such a strong anger for the first time in his life. "Zhou Rong!!"
At this time, the surroundings were full of gun smoke, and the visibility was very poor. It was completely impossible to see anything outside of a few steps.
Sinan couldn't tell whether Zhou Rong had been torn to pieces by the gorilla or not. He was about to rush forward in a hurry, but the submachine gun stopped.
There were no more bullets!
The submachine gun's firing speed of 1250 rpm burned the barrel red. He still had a magazine, but it was too late.
In this one second, the gorilla rushed in the direction where Zhou Rong and Zhang Yingjie flew out and chased after them!
Sinan gasped for breath. At that moment, his mind went blank, and he could barely think of anything.
He pulled out the grenade that he had not used in the explosion earlier from his tactical bag and threw it at the gorilla. At the same time, he drew a dagger and slashed it across his palm!
The black powder hit the gorilla's back and exploded with a series of loud noises. It immediately shook its flesh and blood and turned its attention back.
Sinan's chest heaved as blood gushed out from his open palm. Staring at the zombie's turbid eyes, he stepped back step by step.
Although there was no theory, it was a well-known fact that zombies had an instinct to chase after A/O pheromones and were more sensitive to omega pheromones.
The strength of the pheromone was directly proportional to the sex hormones, but the ability to capture the other person's pheromone differed from person to person.
For example, Zhou Rong's alpha pheromone aura was very overbearing, but his ability to capture omega pheromones was average. Sinan's situation was the exact opposite.
Sinan was extremely sensitive to alpha pheromones, and the adverse reactions were also very strong, but his own pheromones were very weak — this was actually due to the long-term use of inhibitors.
There was a very short period of silence around them.
Grassy stood up dizzily from dozens of meters away. On the other side of the communication hall, Zhou Rong struggled to support his body with his elbow. His face was covered in blood.
Two seconds later.
The gorilla roared to the sky and rushed towards Sinan without any hesitation!
Sinan turned around and ran out of the hall like lightning. The ground behind him trembled violently as the zombie gorilla chased after him!
"Motherf * cker …" Zhou Rong stood up shakily with rubble all over his body. He finally pulled out the Type-89 heavy machine gun from under countless heavy objects. While loading the armor shells, he shouted hoarsely, "Cao 'er!
Yingjie!
Are you still alive? "
Grassy opened her mouth and coughed with blood, "Why did he go with Sinan, quickly chase after him … Cough cough cough!"
Zhou Rong reached out to pull Zhang Yingjie, but as soon as he touched Zhang Yingjie, he saw Zhang Yingjie tremble as if he had been electrocuted and moved back.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Rong asked.
The roar of the zombie gorilla outside the corridor was getting farther and farther away. Time was running out. In the dim light, Zhang Yingjie's face was gray and gray. His lips were dry and cracked, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
He seemed to have finally given up on something and let out a short laugh.
"You shouldn't have saved me, Brother Rong.
I've been infected. "
Zhou Rong's breath suddenly stopped.
Zhang Yingjie pulled up his trousers and saw that there was a bruise on the edge of his socks. It had been soaked in the underground water and had begun to fester.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Brother Rong?"
Zhang Yingjie smiled and said, "Don't be like that. Come, give me a gun … Don't waste the last bit of time. Let me accompany you for a while longer."
"Soldiers shouldn't commit suicide, and they won't become monsters. Let me die in battle as a soldier."
Sinan rushed down the stairs like a hurricane. As soon as he landed, he grabbed the handrail and used it to flip over and jump down one floor. Just as he let go of the handrail, the zombie gorilla knocked the iron handrail away!
After he rushed out of the communication center, he didn't run back the way he came. Instead, he rushed into the corridor from the opposite direction.
Although he couldn't choose a path in his panic, the narrow corridor created a certain amount of obstruction for the zombie gorilla.
After he ran out of the corridor, he plunged into the corridor. After five or six seconds, the gorilla roared and broke through the floor and chased after him.
Zhong Sinan was running so fast that he couldn't see anything around him. He didn't even have the time to pull out his gun.
He didn't know that he could run so fast. He ran into a few groups of zombies on the way, but he ran past them all with his speed alone.
The Omega pheromones strongly stimulated the gorilla's appetite. The giant monster, which was more than four meters tall and weighed several tons, was like a road roller. It rolled down with a rumble and crushed the groups of zombies behind it into bloody paste!
Several winding corridors came to an end in the blink of an eye. There was a fork in the road, and the left and right were shrouded in thick darkness.
Sinan slowed down. After more than six hours of intense exercise and no food, his internal organs twitched, causing unbearable pain.
In that 0.01 second pause, the zombie gorilla pounced from behind and slapped Sinan to the wall!
With a muffled bang, Sinan Zhi coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He felt like he was hit by a tank. The intense pain flooded all his senses.
He rolled down from the wall to the ground in dizziness. In a trance, he saw the zombie gorilla running towards him. The ground under him was shaking violently.
No, he thought.
I still have very important … very important things to do. I can't let it end like this.
In fact, he didn't know where this subconscious thought came from. He couldn't tell what the so-called important task was.
Sinan's hands trembled. He pulled out the Type 64 handgun from behind his waist and fired at the air.
The metal ventilation pipe fell and smashed the zombie gorilla, causing it to stagger!
Sinan staggered to his feet. He dragged dozens of kilograms of military equipment and ran forward. As he ran, he quickly reloaded the submachine gun with bullets.
The zombie gorilla was completely enraged. It tore the ventilation pipe, which was thicker than a person, into pieces. It swept behind him like a supersonic fighter and opened its bloody mouth to bite down on his back.
The fishy smell was already above his head. Sinan's footsteps suddenly turned. He stepped on the wall in two steps and used the momentum to flip in the air.
His body flipped 360 degrees in the air. He was almost close to the gorilla's lowered head and rode on the back of its neck!
The zombie gorilla twisted crazily and kept hitting the walls. The lights fell one after another.
The fatal bumps made Sinan's head bleed and his whole body hurt. But his legs tightly wrapped around the back of the zombie gorilla's neck. He gritted his teeth and pressed the submachine gun against the back of the monster's head.
Then, he pressed down on the trigger, and a torrential rain of bullets instantly shot into its head!
Bang!
The extremely high muzzle pressure lasted for more than ten seconds. The barrel of the submachine gun had reached the end of its flight. Finally, without a doubt, the barrel exploded!
At the moment of the explosion, Sinan's consciousness was in a trance. He didn't even feel any pain when he was thrown out.
His body flew in the air with a trail of blood. After flying for more than ten meters, he fell straight into the deep pit at the end of the fork road.
[Biochemical Restricted Area, Trespassers Will Be Killed]
In the darkness, the green indicator light flickered faintly. It was as bright as a will-o '-the-wisp.
With a tragic crash, Sinan fell to the bottom of the pit and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His ears were covered by blood. Warm streams kept flowing out of his nose. His body was slightly convulsing and trembling.
He tried to keep his eyes open to keep his mind clear, but his vision was getting more and more blurry.
The darkness was like an overwhelming feather, gently covering all his consciousness.
"Noah …"
“noah!”
The woman walked quickly through the garden, squatted down, and hugged the little boy who had his back to her. "What are you doing? Why don't you go in?"
In the hazy morning, the breeze was mixed with the salty smell of the soil.
The garden was dark green under the iron frame, but the yellow roses had withered. There were only a few withered petals left on the thorny branches.
"Dad doesn't like me."
The little boy looked at his feet. The soil that had just been turned over was still fresh. He repeated in a low voice, "… Dad doesn't like me."
The woman pressed the little boy's shoulder and turned him around. Her beautiful and melancholic eyes looked at her son.
She was wearing a dark pink silk dress. Her facial features were beautiful and deep. Her flaxen hair was slightly curled. Her light-colored pupils were like pure amber.
That kind of beauty that triumphed over time made people's hearts skip a beat. But when she looked at something, there was always a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Why, Noah?"
The little boy pursed his lips. After a while, he whispered, "He scratched me."
The woman took her son's hand and gently rolled up his sleeves. The few scratches on his wrist were shocking, and the flesh was slightly greenish-black.
"… Dad is tired." After a long time, the woman didn't answer the question. "He just fell asleep … Go back with me."
The little boy no longer resisted. His mother held his hand and walked into the depths of the garden.
"Mommy."
"Yes?"
"Why does Dad sleep in a wooden box?"
At the top of the church not far away, stained glass was inlaid on the wall. A cross pierced the gloomy sky.
This time, the mother was silent for a long time before she stopped. She leaned over and kissed her son's tender eyebrows.
"One day, Dad will leave the wooden box and return to us forever …"
There was a little sadness in her voice, but it was still very soft. She said, "That day won't be too far away."
"… Cough …"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Cough, cough!" Sinan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of thick blood. His hands trembled as he propped himself up.
For a few seconds, he didn't know where he was and couldn't remember what had happened. Even his mind was in a momentary mess.
But then, the memories of the past few hours flashed back. The sharp pain crawled back to his nerves. The injured internal organs caused his trachea to spasm, causing him to vomit the last bit of water in his stomach.
Did the zombie gorilla die?
That guy called Zhou Rong … who was as sloppy as an army ruffian, but surprisingly reliable, was saved?
Sinan finally stopped retching. Thinking of Zhou Rong, he lay on the ground, panting, and slowly sat up.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound in front of him — Dong.
This sound was particularly clear in the quiet space. Sinan looked up.
This was a circular glass laboratory located underground. The ceiling was not sealed, and there was an elevator at the edge that led to the upper space.
The circular alloy wall glowed white, illuminating the test site in the middle, which was about the size of a football field.
Then there was a faintly louder — Dong!
Sinan looked at the scene in the middle of the test site. His pupils shrank unconsciously. He finally understood what had awakened him from his coma.
It was a coffin.
Black pine wood, slightly muddy, as if it had just been taken out of a British manor in the last century. In this test site surrounded by modern biomedical equipment, it was indescribably abrupt.
Even more abrupt was a huge silver cross pierced into the coffin lid at an angle. The edge of the cross was decorated with flowers and leaves. It was very worn and oxidized, almost cutting the whole coffin into two parts.
Dong!
The coffin lid was pushed up.
Dong!!
Soil rustled and fell.
Sinan stood up and staggered back. His chest rose and fell rapidly because of a terrible premonition.
Dong!!!
The huge force cracked the coffin lid, and the silver cross fell to the ground with a heavy crash!
Sinan turned around and rushed to the elevator. He pressed the button hard, but the control panel did not respond!
Bang!
The heavy coffin lid split into two. Accompanied by a scream that sounded like a demon or a beast, the black shadow in the coffin turned over and sat up!
Sinan stared at it closely. An extremely terrifying guess rose from the bottom of his heart. A chill covered his limbs and bones.
