"Team Member: Atobe-sama, dead.
"Team Member: Names are so hard to come by, dead."
The system announcement rang in his ears. Wang Tanzhi quickly opened the game menu to take a look. There was indeed the word 'Dead' next to the two players' names. After giving it some thought, Xiao Tan asked, "Brothers, they wouldn't have died inside this building's underground lab, right?"
"Oh? Why do you say that? " Pan Feng asked without turning his head as he continued to move forward. From his tone, he didn't seem to care much about the lives of the two people. It felt like … whether the two people were dead or alive, it didn't have much of an impact on him clearing the stage. Of course, with the cooperation of Hwa Xiong and him, he had the confidence to back it up.
"Think about it, one of them is level fourteen, and the other is level twelve. At the very least, they are stronger than me. Even I am not afraid of the BW Zombies on the street, so they won't die at the hands of those monsters. But if they also came to this Allerbmu Building and went to the underground research center after seeing the schematic of the ground floor … "He paused before continuing," We haven't cleared that place yet, so it might be dangerous. There might even be a boss there. If they run into a zombie werewolf … "
"Hmm … you have a point," Hwa Xiong said. However, from his tone, it sounded like he had already thought about that, and the 'point' was just to brush off Xiao Tan. "But since they are dead, there is nothing we can do even if we turn back now. Furthermore, we are already very close to the top floor, so we might as well clear all the way to the top and then … "
"How about this," Xiao Tan interrupted him. "Brothers, you can continue to head to the top floor, and I will return to the ground floor alone." Then, he took out the baseball bat from his inventory. Since he did not have the chance to join the battle, Xiao Tan had even put his weapon away. "The remaining player is my friend. He might not have reached the building yet, but I believe he will. I will go to the ground floor to wait for him, and then I can tell him not to go down and meet up with you guys first. "
Pan Xiong and Hua Xiong stopped in their tracks and turned to look at him. After exchanging glances, Hua Xiong shrugged and replied, "Alright then. Be careful, little brother. We'll go first."
Xiao Tan responded, then turned around and went back the way he came. After turning into a corridor, he rushed into the fire stairs. At the moment, he had no idea that Feng Bujue was already inside the underground lab, and he had no idea that he had misjudged the location of Atobe-sama and Ming Yin's death. He was merely moving based on his own speculation.
After he walked away, Pan Feng suddenly said in a very serious tone, "The two players were at the same coordinates for a long time before they died. That place is quite far from this building."
Hwa Xiong replied, "Yeah, I've been keeping an eye out for that area. There won't be any mini bosses in that area. Before nightfall, there will only be a few BW Zombies roaming the city. Furthermore … the interval between their deaths was only several seconds. Haha … Unless they jumped off the building at the same time, otherwise … "
"So, this is the work of the Anomaly," Pan Feng said darkly. "They've already made their move on the players so soon. We should move faster to prevent the other two from coming into contact with the Anomaly."
"It's a good thing that the little brother has left. We can move freely now. After all, the way back is relatively safe, and the monsters have been cleared, so he should be fine for now, "Hua Xiong said. "That player by the name of Feng Bujue is in a bad situation. Even though he still has seventy-three percent Life Points, the problem is that he's already infected. When he reaches the mutation stage, the player will be judged as dead, so we'd better finish this before that happens. " He took a deep breath. "There are only four players in total. The two who died can be forgiven, but if all three die before we clear the scenario, then our work will be a failure."
Pan Feng nodded. "Hmm … You're right. We need to 'kill' Ashford as soon as possible. Once we enter 'that' storyline, we'll clear the scenario soon. No matter what … we need to send the players out of the scenario first so that we can focus on dealing with the Anomaly. "
…
Feng Bujue held the Winchester as he walked down the corridor of the lab. The lighting was working normally, and there were not that many zombies. Other than the one that he encountered outside the elevator, the rest of the encounters were similar to the ones on the surface. He would run into at most one or two zombies in three to five corridors.
Feng Bujue's shotgun was very useful in this small corridor. He only needed to wait for the monsters to get closer before he fired. Even if he was not that good at shooting, he would be able to end the battle easily. After all, as long as he hit the limbs, they would fall to the ground. If he hit the torso, they would either fly away or be torn into pieces.
He searched a relatively large area, and most of the electronic doors could be opened. Many of the rooms only had a few rows of iron shelves, and the shelves were filled with cardboard boxes. They were filled with paper documents and files. Feng Bujue naturally read some of the documents, but the content was meaningless. Most of them were the same experiment reports, and the key content of the documents had been blurred out by the black lines.
Some of the rooms were equipped with large computers. The walls and tables were filled with monitors and strange joysticks and buttons. Without exception, these devices were all broken. They could not even be turned on. This kind of room was not that troublesome. He could leave after he opened the door to take a look.
After a few twists and turns, Feng Bujue finally found an electronic door with a higher security level. This door required double scanning of the retina and fingerprint to open. Furthermore, Game was considerate enough to arrange for a zombie in a white coat to be stationed a few meters away from the door.
Feng Bujue shot the zombie in the waist. The monster was thrown to the ground, and its intestines spilled out. Feng Bujue took out the baseball bat from his backpack and went over to break the bones on the zombie's arms and knees. After he was done, he switched to the kitchen knife. He pressed the zombie's face and cut off its head and one of its hands. He also searched the zombie's clothes to make sure there was nothing in his pockets before he was done.
After the scan, the electronic door opened. Feng Bujue tossed the zombie's head and hand far away and stepped through the door.
This was obviously a room related to the plot. On the wall facing the door, there was a huge metal gate. It looked exactly the same as the gate in a bank vault. On the left side of the wall was a row of glass tubes. They were about one meter tall and about thirty centimeters in diameter. They should have been filled with liquid, but now the glass casing had been shattered, and the contents had all flowed to the ground. It was a light green, translucent liquid. At that moment, there was a large pool of green on the floor.
The few computers in the room had lost their functions. The screens were dark, and they could not be turned on. Next to one of the consoles, there were two dead bodies in white coats. Feng Bujue approached cautiously. He observed to make sure that these two were normal dead bodies and not zombies that had been hibernating for a long time.
Both of them were male. One of them looked like he was in his fifties. He was bald and wore glasses. The other had gray hair and a mustache. He was a few years older. The bald man was shot in the head. The mustache man had a gunshot wound in his chest and abdomen. They did not seem to have been dragged after they died. The position and posture of the bodies indicated this.
Feng Bujue replayed the situation of the shooting in his mind. The murderer should be someone they knew. He entered the laboratory through the electronic door and suddenly pulled out a gun. At a very close distance, he aimed at the bald man and pulled the trigger. The bullet entered his head and killed him. The bald man was sitting behind the console. After he died, his body slid down from the chair and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the man with the mustache, who was a few steps away from the console, happened to have his back to the door. When he heard the gunshot, he turned around in shock. Unfortunately, the murderer did not give him any chance to react and immediately shot him twice. When the man with the mustache fell, his body tilted forward. Before he died, he grabbed the edge of the console with his hands to cushion his fall. Then, he fell sideways.
Looking at the posture, blood, and expression of the bodies, Feng Bujue came to this conclusion. As a detective novelist, inferring the process of the crime from the scene of the crime should be a piece of cake. He did not know how many times he had deduced similar plots in his mind. Sometimes in order to write some "exquisitely arranged" murders, he would do related experiments. It sounded troublesome, but after all, it was a mechanism that he racked his brain to come up with. If it was proven to be unfeasible in reality, then it would be meaningless.
"Ha …" Feng Bujue looked at the two bodies and laughed. "They are not infected. The two of them must have been injected with the serum …" He looked at the dead bodies and said to himself, "There are so many people in this base. Only the core researchers who directly deal with the virus all day long would have such treatment."
He reorganized the process of the incident in his mind and thought, "No matter what the purpose is, let's assume that the murderer is also a researcher who has been injected with the serum. He killed these two people, broke the container containing the virus stock, and then took a small amount of the liquid out of the room. He returned to the corridor and killed a few more people. Then he used the virus stock to mutate the bodies … Then he escaped from the institute and let the infection spread to the ground. But for some reason, the people on the ground all turned into another kind of zombie.
Or … the murderer did not escape from the institute at all. Instead, he was subdued or even killed by the guards. The virus that produced BW zombies outside the institute had nothing to do with the virus here. They were two completely different things.
Feng Bujue thought of this and thought of another question. He muttered, "The guy at the door also had access to this room. He should also be one of the researchers. He should have been injected with the serum, but why did he turn into a zombie …"
Feng Bujue needed more information and clues to understand the situation here, so he went to check the two bodies again. Then he found a key in the mustache man's pocket.
There was a desk a few meters away. After Feng Bujue got the key, he walked over without hesitation and opened the drawers one by one. He found two syringes, a pile of white paper, some stationery, stapler, pins, post-it notes and other sundries … Only the bottom drawer was locked. He tried the key he just found and it opened.
