Chapter 25: The Appearance of the Undead

  "Raine, J.D., you two go take a look at the situation. Caplan, see if there are any other routes." Matthew said with an unchanged expression.

  Rein and J.D., who received the order, went forward with guns in hand to search.

  "What on earth happened here?" Alice looked around at the laboratory that was already filled with water, her expression somewhat unusual.

  Matthew hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Flame Queen suddenly lost control five hours ago and started killing everyone in the institute, then sealed off this place."

  "Why did it have to be like this?" Alice asked.

  "I don't know, it could be a virus infection or maybe someone outside is operating," Matthew said and then walked aside, apparently not wanting to answer any more questions.

  At this moment, Matt, who was standing beside him, suddenly let out a loud cry and leaned directly against the wall beside him.

  Everyone followed his gaze and saw a female corpse floating in the water beside him. The woman's face was pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and she looked very terrifying.

  Lin Yixuan knew that the corpse should have turned into a zombie by now, it's just that it hasn't woken up yet. As soon as Huoyan Huang closes down, these zombies will run out and attack them.

  And beside her, Alice's beautiful face flashed a hint of confusion and fear after seeing the female corpse. Her crystal-like eyes also dimmed slightly as she slowly squatted down in the corner, hugging her knees with both hands, and gently rested her head on her knees.

  Seeing Alice's appearance, Lin Yixuan slowly walked over and took off his own jacket. Fortunately, he was wearing casual clothes now, and there was also a jacket. He gently placed the jacket on Alice's shoulders. This should have been done by Ryan, but Lin Yixuan wouldn't let Ryan take precedence here. He still hoped to get along well with Alice.

  "Are you okay?" Lin Yixuan asked in a low voice.

  Feeling the coat on Lin Yixuan's body, Alice looked up at him and immediately thought of returning the coat to Lin Yixuan.

  "Put it back on, it's very cold here."

  Alice nodded and then stood up to put on Lin Yixuan's coat. After putting it on, he leaned against the wall and asked faintly, "Don't you remember anything from before?"

  "Sometimes a vague image flashes by, but I can't remember what it is." Lin Yixuan replied slowly. He knew that Alice must be in the same state now, so he made himself sound like this too. After all, people who have gone through similar experiences are easier to get along with and more likely to resonate with each other. Although Lin Yixuan was faking it, he could still build a good relationship with Alice.

  "There's still a way, but we'll have to take a detour." said Corporal Kapran to Matthew.

  Just then, Rayn and J.D returned as well, their report being that the entire floor was flooded.

  "We'll take a detour, we're going through B corridor." Matthew gave orders immediately.

  Everyone walked together towards the B restaurant, and after a while, they finally arrived at what was called the B restaurant. In fact, the so-called B restaurant was actually a place to cultivate crawlers. Here, row upon row of cultivation tanks were filled with crawlers. Lin Yixuan's heart was tense with fear, worried that these creatures would suddenly run out and attack them. If that happened, they would surely be killed.

  Although shocked by the name of this B restaurant, Matthew still ordered: "Laine, J.D., you two stay with these people to guard the B restaurant, and we will go in to get the motherboard of Flame Queen."

  Lin Yixuan was taken aback, not expecting Matthew to leave all their people behind, which didn't conform to his idea at all. He still hoped to follow up and rescue them in the laser channel.

  "I'm going too." Lin Yixuan said immediately.

  "No, you stay here." Matthew said slowly, casting a faint glance at Lin Yixuan.

  "I'll go and see if I can help in any way." Lin Yixuan said hastily.

  "This is impossible, you must stay here." Matthew directly pointed his gun at Lin Yixuan's head and said coldly.

  "Alright." Lin Yixuan raised his hands, he dared to be certain that if he said another word, Matthew would definitely shoot him.

  "Lynn, you stay too." Matthew said to the female medic.

  "Wait, you guys need to be careful about the outer passage of Huoyan Huang's place. There are very strong defensive measures inside that can easily kill you." Lin Yixuan reminded him as he saw Matthew was determined to do so.

  "How did you know?" Matthew's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he looked at Lin Yixuan.

  "A vague memory flashed through my mind." Lin Yixuan said calmly, he wanted to give Matthew some reminders, but was afraid of revealing too much.

  Matthew looked up and down at Lin Yixuan before nodding: "I'll be careful."

  After finishing speaking, he led other special envoys into the control room inside.

  In the dining hall, only seven people were left: Lin Yixuan, Alice, Mate, Ryan, Rain, J.D. and a female medic. Lin Yixuan frowned slightly, actually he didn't want to stay here, because all around were the incubators of crawlers, who knows what would happen if the power went out, after all this wasn't a movie.

  After a short while, the entire B restaurant suddenly darkened, and all the lights disappeared. Lin Yixuan's heart immediately rose, it seemed that the Flame Queen had been shut down, and next they would face countless zombies.

  After a while, Lin Yixuan heard a clanging sound coming from afar, and he immediately knew that it must be the zombies making the noise.

  After hearing the sound, Lain took his gun to check it out, and Lin Yixuan also followed him in a hurry. He still remembered that Lain was bitten by a zombie here because of unclear vision.

  "A survivor has been found." Rayne couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she saw a figure in white clothing walking towards her.

  Just as Raine was about to go and check on that person, Lin Yixuan stepped forward and stopped her, saying with a serious expression: "Wait, there's something strange about that person."

  "What's wrong?" Lain asked somewhat strangely.

  "Look at his face, it's not a normal person's face." Lin Yixuan said, pointing to the pale and white face of the zombie.

  Ran also discovered the anomaly at this time, hastily retreated a step, and raised his gun to shout at the zombie: "Don't move, or I'll shoot!"

  The zombie suddenly lifted its head after hearing Rain's words, revealing that terrifying pale face, then let out a shrill cry and pounced on Rain in an instant.

  So fast, Lin Yixuan's pupils suddenly contracted. The zombie's speed was too fast, unlike the slow-moving zombies in the original version. This zombie's speed was astonishing, and it reached Lain's face in an instant. Then, with a wide open mouth, under Lain's terrified expression, it bit down on Lain's neck.
