The ten minutes walk from the Music Department to the Medicine Department took them two hours to complete .
“There it is . ” The male student with the fringe pointed at an office excitedly . They had finally reached their destination after the long journey .
Captain Fan gave a signal to Captain Zhao . Captain Zhao nodded and moved in from the side .
The surroundings were very quiet . There were no signs of zombies .
Captain Zhao checked the outskirts of the office and, after confirming that it was safe, he waved and Captain Fan immediately hurried over with the rest of the group .
The office was filled with blood . Books and papers were all over the floor . The cupboard had been pushed by someone and was blocking the door behind it .
This door was built to allow medical students to reach the laboratory faster .
“Here it is . ” The male student with the fringe was too excited and immediately went over to the door . Captain Fan’s instinct told him to pull the student back but he failed .
“Roar!” ( Boxno vel . co m )
The male student got pounced on by a zombie hiding in the cupboard and was bitten .
Captain Zhao and his team instantly killed the zombie and dragged the student out . However, they were still too late .
He was dead .
Captain Zhao shook his head at Captain Fan .
Chen Wei grabbed Ning Le’s elbow with tears in her eyes . The other two male students were also staring at their dead friend . Their faces were white .
There were only three of them left .

Captain Zhao had no choice but to decapitate the dead student to prevent him from becoming a zombie .
Although she knew her friend was dead, Chen Wei couldn’t help but cover her mouth and cry . Everyone was depressed .
“No matter what happens, never go ahead of us, do you understand?” Captain Fan warned the other three students .
He then looked at Ming Shu and wanted to tell her the same thing .
“Don’t worry, I will never go ahead of you . ” Ming Shu gave an eye smile .
Although Captain Fan felt that her smile was inappropriate in this situation, he had no right to say anything and could only shift his gaze away .
There were only a few people left: Captain Zhao and Captain Fan, a man from Captain Zhao’s team, Ning Le and Ming Shu, and the three students .
“This door is password-protected and it still has electricity running through it…” Captain Zhao inspected the door behind the cupboard . “There might be a generator in the laboratory . There could be survivors as well . ”
“Do you know the password?” Captain Fan asked the three students .
They shook their heads . They were not med students . If the male student didn’t tell them, they would not have known that there was a door here . Some of them hadn’t even known about the underground lab .
“Let me try . ” The man from Captain Zhao’s team came forward . “But I might not succeed . ”
“Just do your best . ” Captain Zhao patted his shoulder .
“Okay . ”
It was not easy to crack a password-protected lock . There were no tools and high hopes were placed on him . The man got nervous and couldn’t open the lock .
“Don’t worry, take it slow . Everyone else can keep a lookout for zombies . ” Captain Fan understood his nervousness and directed everyone’s attention away .

Ning Le turned her head and saw Ming Shu sitting on a messy table . A folder was opened in front of her . Her gaze was far away . Ning Le couldn’t decide if Ming Shu was looking at the documents inside the folder .
Ming Shu finished her snacks and jumped down . She walked to the other side .
Ning Le hesitated for a while before inching toward the table . The documents inside were about the underground laboratory .
Ning Le held up the folder and flipped through it . She walked over to Captain Fan and pointed to an area on the document that was circled in red . “Could this be the password?”
The red circle wasn’t drawn by the owner of the document . It appeared to be drawn in blood by someone in a hurry .
There were eight letters . The lock required an eight-letter password .
Captain Fan looked at the document and said, “Let’s give it a try . ”
The numbers were keyed in one at a time .
Ka—
A slight sound was heard .
The door was unlocked .
“This is great . You are awesome, Ning Le . ” Captain Zhao happily clapped Ning Le’s shoulder .
Ning Le wanted to explain that she discovered the document because she saw Ming Shu looking at it . However, when she saw that Ming Shu didn’t notice the commotion, she decided to keep quiet .
“I will enter first . Captain Fan will take the rear . ” Captain Zhao readied his weapon and opened the metal door .
The lights in the corridor weren’t very bright, but it was enough to let them see their surroundings .
The floor was covered with patches of blood . There were signs of dragging . This place had fallen, too .
Captain Fan reached a conclusion in his mind . The survivors might be dead .
The laboratory was very big; it was segmented into many different sections . Unexpectedly, they didn’t meet any zombies while walking through the laboratory .
Neither did they meet any humans .
“So cold…” Chen Wei hugged herself . Suddenly, she tripped over something and fell against the wall beside her .
Kacha—
The metal partition split open and the roars of zombies sounded from within .
Everyone’s faces changed drastically .
Ming Shu was right in front of the metal partition . The zombies rushed out from the opening and attacked Ming Shu .
Ming Shu kicked away a zombie with a half-destroyed face and grabbed the fire extinguisher along the corridor . She swung the fire extinguisher at the zombies .
In an instant, the small corridor was filled with zombies . Captain Fan wanted to help Ming Shu but was distracted by a scream from Chen Wei . This pulled him further away from Ming Shu as more zombies blocked the way between them .
Ming Shu opened the fire extinguisher and randomly sprayed the zombies . Seizing the chance, she escaped from between them and landed safely in front of Chen Wei . She then grabbed her bag and ran forward .
There was a door at the end of the corridor . However, it was locked with a stainless steel lock and couldn’t be opened without specific tools .
The zombies behind them were madly rushing toward them .
“What is this!” Captain Zhao kicked the door .
Suddenly, the siren went off . Captain Zhao was so shocked his leg stopped halfway . The zombies were distracted by the sound for a second and were stunned .
Thereafter, they continued pushing forward .
Twenty meters…
Ming Shu turned around to look for a suitable weapon and met with a pair of calm eyes .
The owner of these eyes was half hidden behind a pile of boxes . He was wearing a doctor’s white lab coat and kept his hands in his pockets .
He slowly took out his hand and pressed something on the wall .
Kuangdang—
A metal gate fell from the sky, separating the zombies from them . The zombies slammed into the gate and clawed at it, trying to catch them .
“Hu…” The students heaved a sigh of relief .
The rest of them were more vigilant and were on guard as they turned around .
It was a young man . He was around 1 . 87 centimeters in height, his hair was not long, and his face was expressionless . They couldn’t tell if he was a student or a lab tech .
Captain Fan tried asking, “Hello, are you a survivor?”
The young man slowly walked closer, his eyes fixed on them before slowly shifting his gaze toward Ming Shu .
If it was not for his skin color, they would have thought him a zombie .
