Chapter 75

He Linglong and Chen Su were fiercely battling outside the gate leading to the fourth basement level, while the four inside the gate were simultaneously facing an emergency situation: they were surrounded, and one of their members had been attacked.

The mutated creatures here all carried the highly infectious and extremely lethal and mutating first-generation virus. This didn’t leave Wu Shengwei much time to wallow in his misery. After Shao Mingyao and Deng Yao quickly bandaged his wound, his head drooped powerlessly. After Deng Yao checked him, he solemnly shook his head at Shao Mingyao and Feng Yi, then removed Wu Shengwei’s backpack and other heavy items, and dragged him to the innermost part of the lab.

Just as Deng Yao finished settling Wu Shengwei’s body, Captain Feng Yi, standing beside him, raised his gun and aimed it at Wu Shengwei’s head.

Before venturing deep inside, the group had understood how dangerous the situation was here, and knew that people bitten by zombies wouldn’t die immediately, but would turn into zombies. However, for the three remaining people here, watching someone turn into a zombie with their own eyes was a first.

Deng Yao had already returned to Feng Yi’s side. The three of them and the deceased Wu Shengwei were positioned in different corners of the lab. The searchlights above illuminated Wu Shengwei’s body, and no one spoke.

Although they didn’t want to further desecrate their deceased teammate’s body, the mutated creatures outside hadn’t left. They had no choice but to temporarily stay in the same space as the dead Wu Shengwei. Therefore, to prevent Wu Shengwei from mutating and causing unnecessary sacrifices, Feng Yi had no choice but to be vigilant.

During the few minutes of silent observation, Wu Shengwei’s body remained in the position Deng Yao had placed him in, without moving. This made the three of them feel strange – did this mean that not everyone bitten by a zombie would turn?

The three looked at each other, and Feng Yi even slightly relaxed his tense shoulders and adjusted his previously fully alert posture.

Then, just as the three of them were beginning to lose patience with staring at a corpse, without any warning, Wu Shengwei’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and his body arched up in a strange position.

Every movement of Wu Shengwei’s was unlike anything a normal person could do, like a finely crafted marionette. All movements started from the joints and then moved to the extremities. Combined with the lighting from the three’s searchlights in the other corner, it resembled a realistic horror play, with the protagonist being Wu Shengwei, staring with lifeless, empty dead fish eyes.

Feng Yi tensed up again, his gun-holding posture instantly becoming professional, his fingers unconsciously moving on the gun. Deng Yao and Shao Mingyao, who were beside him, also subconsciously retreated, expressing their shock at the scene before them. Although they had heard of such things before, witnessing it firsthand still had a significant impact on them.

Just as Wu Shengwei shakily stood up, then suddenly raised his head, his gray-white eyes staring directly at Feng Yi and the others, all three of them turned serious, feeling a chill rise up their spines.

Feng Yi subconsciously put his index finger on the trigger, but hesitated to pull it. Of course, he still naively hoped that Wu Shengwei still retained his consciousness. After all, he was a teammate he had personally chosen for the mission. Just ten minutes ago, they were each other’s backlines, but now he had to deal with him personally. Although they hadn’t known each other for long, humanity ultimately prevailed, making his hand hesitate.

Just as he hesitated and didn’t pull the trigger, Wu Shengwei, whose every movement seemed clumsy just moments before, suddenly contracted his body and lunged forward, rushing towards Feng Yi and the others. The fusion of the virus within the body of a former mercenary was clearly much higher than in ordinary people. Even after Feng Yi, with a grim expression, quickly fired two shots at him, he was still able to avoid fatal injuries with the instinctive movements trained into his body.

The bullets only pierced through the outside of one of Wu Shengwei’s arms, creating a trail of blood, slightly slowing Wu Shengwei’s movements.

Deng Yao and Shao Mingyao, standing on either side of Feng Yi, finally recovered from their shock at this time, and each raised their guns, joining Feng Yi in firing at Wu Shengwei, who was pale-faced, expressionless, and about to attack them.

Having no independent consciousness also meant that Wu Shengwei had no pain or fear. He didn’t care about the damage caused by the bullets hitting his body, and only relied on his bloodthirsty instinct to dodge while rushing towards them with his mouth open.

At this time, the three who had been deliberately holding back finally hardened their hearts, and with firm eyes, fired a fatal shot at Wu Shengwei, who was already in front of them.

Almost simultaneously, three clusters of blood erupted from Wu Shengwei’s forehead, mouth, and neck. As the sound of gunfire faded, Wu Shengwei’s head, due to the impact of the gunshot, bent backward, while his body maintained its forward momentum, collapsing directly to the ground.
