BC Chapter 50

Chapter 49

The roars of zombies, the screams of the living, the miserable cries of several unlucky bosses surrounded by zombies, the sounds of clothes tearing and flesh separating, the chilling sound of raw meat being chewed from the mouths of zombies.

“Squish, squish…”

All kinds of sounds and the people and zombies making various movements within them converged into a horrific scene of the apocalypse.

Fang Jun, Bian Chunxue, and others who had run upstairs first had long since found an empty room and squeezed inside. Huang Wei and Dai Liang squeezed in with them. As soon as the four entered the room, they closed and locked the door. Without anyone coordinating, they spontaneously moved everything movable in the room to the door to block it.

No matter how much those outside who hadn’t run in knocked on the door, none of them dared to open it. Who knew how many zombies had poured in by now? At this moment, none of the people hiding had any weapons. If they really faced the zombies, they wouldn’t even have a chance to fight back, just adding to their meal. Fortunately, there weren’t only one or two rooms on the second floor. Sun Tai led two thugs and found a room to hide in as well. Then, like Fang Jun and the others in the other room, they moved the tables and chairs in the room to the door to block it.

And those who hadn’t been able to run upstairs, and those who had gone upstairs but hadn’t found a safe room to hide in time, all became the zombies’ meal. Screams rose and fell, lasting for more than ten minutes, before being drowned out by the meaningless “ho ho” sounds from the mouths of the zombies filling the rooms.

…

The men and women who had hidden themselves well, although they had moved to the decoration company next door, could still clearly hear the sounds coming from over there because they were only separated from those people by a wall. The chaotic screams and the sounds of people crying for help were chilling to hear.

However, they also knew very well that those who were suffering all of this were getting what they deserved. Although they felt uncomfortable listening, no one spoke up for those guys.

After all, it wasn’t them, the victims, who had abandoned their humanity first.

So, when they heard these sounds, some people felt a bloody sense of satisfaction. It was the contradictory feeling of resisting and enjoying it when someone else did something like that for you, even though you couldn’t bring yourself to do it.

From the beginning to waiting for the storm to subside, it didn’t take long. The black-clothed woman listened carefully and only retracted her body after hearing that there were no more howls next door. She walked to Zhao Huiyun’s side, handed her the gun, and taught her how to use it again.

“I’ll leave you in charge of guarding the windows.” The black-clothed woman hadn’t taken off her mask or her hat in front of everyone from beginning to end. However, Zhao Huiyun saw some of the temperament of a beautiful woman in her bright and shining eyes and her straight nose. For them, the appearance of the black-clothed woman was undoubtedly like giving them a second life, so Zhao Huiyun thought that at least she should remember her appearance and her current expression, so as not to have received someone’s life-saving grace in vain.

Although the current environment was always full of dangers, and they themselves didn’t know how long they could live, now that they had survived, they had to plan the available resources in their hands well.

The group originally thought that the black-clothed woman would become their leader, lead them to re-plan resources and what to do, but they didn’t expect the black-clothed woman to directly hand the guns over to them. Then, amidst everyone’s confused gazes, she lowered the safety rope made of sheets that was still tied to the window, climbed up to the window in two steps, and slid down holding the safety rope.

The several men and women hurriedly gathered at the window with bewildered expressions to look. The zombies that had been crowded at the entrance of the dental hospital on the first floor had all squeezed in. At this moment, the streets were much more empty and safe.

The black-clothed woman landed on the ground and looked up at the men and women crowded at the window. Then, she just waved at them casually and ran away along the side of the street.

Thus, the black-clothed woman was like a gust of wind to Zhao Huiyun, Qi Xin, and others, blowing over to rescue them and then blowing away without a trace.

But at least, they now had supplies and had escaped the clutches of those beasts. They had also learned from the black-clothed woman that the government had sent a rescue team to search and rescue, so the only thing they needed to worry about was how many days everyone’s supplies could last…

…

The reason why the black-clothed woman left the group was because her purpose was different from everyone else’s.

Ordinary people wanted to avoid zombies as much as possible and escape to the safe outskirts of the city, but what the black-clothed woman had to do was the opposite. She had to rush to the starting point of the virus infection – the Longtai Underground Research Institute.

The woman’s name was He Linglong. She used to be a female special forces soldier. After retiring, she chose to continue studying biology research and development at Shangda University, and then became a graduate student. Under the arrangement and instruction of her tutor, she contacted the person in charge of the research project under Longtai Group and joined Longtai’s research institute.

During her tenure, the project she was in charge of was the development and reshaping of human potential genes. At first, she thought that this project was actually to study various human limits, and then do experiments to prove what kind of path was the most effective. It wasn’t until her term of office increased and she gained more access to browse the research data stored in the computer that she began to have some suspicions.

How did it feel… that this research institute wasn’t doing something beneficial to the people of the world, but was researching chemical weapons?! Out of this concern, she immediately contacted her former comrade and best friend – Yao Jinglin, who had taken a different path after retirement and taken the civil service exam and was working in the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

It should be known that in research institutes within the country, no matter what projects they are researching, most of them are funded and supported by foreign capital. Therefore, if evidence can be unearthed in this matter to prove that He Linglong’s guess is true, then more explosive material will be revealed. After all, Longtai Group’s influence in the country is still very large and involves a lot of things.

Before this, Longtai’s image in the country had always been very positive and relatively supported by the public. If the research on chemical weapons was indeed true, then it would be uncovering a big company’s shocking conspiracy. This was a major issue that endangered national and people’s safety. Therefore, Yao Jinglin, who had learned of this news, also attached great importance to it, but suffered from a lack of direct evidence and couldn’t mention it to outsiders, let alone go through the case handling process, so she could only let He Linglong observe for a while longer and try to find more direct evidence.
