Chapter 38: Corpse Dog
Looking at the undiminished tide of zombies, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He would have liked to wipe them all out, but unfortunately, he was already extremely exhausted, and even killing a single stray zombie seemed very difficult!
A high-energy compressed food appeared in his right hand, Lin Chen casually flicked off the bloodstains on the short sword and threw the high-energy food into his mouth to chew vigorously.
A warm current flowed from his stomach, like a gentle stream, similar to a refreshing breeze, repeatedly flowing over his tired and sore muscles, making Lin Chen feel a comfortable numbness.
"Boss, ahead is the security room, it belongs to the internal security system of the hive!"
Karam's voice came through the earpiece, laced with a hint of excitement.
Lin Xun's detailed structural diagram of the beehive copied by Kalanpu has indeed played a role. Although the closure of the Red After led to the forced shutdown of many functions in the hive, the most basic thermal sensing system is still operating normally with the support of the backup power source!
Karambola infiltrated the system with a tactical computer and then compared it with the hive terrain map to get the result.
Everyone's morale was boosted, and the spirits that had been dampened by being chased by zombies were lifted again!
Armory, meaning there are weapons inside, and they will be able to replenish their dwindling ammunition!
Without waiting for Lin Chen's instructions, the two assaulters who had almost exhausted their ammunition rushed to the front and pushed open the half-closed iron door!
"Security room?!"
Lin Xun listened and his spirit was also lifted. The security guards of the umbrella company, no matter how poor they were, would be equipped with ordinary military equipment!
Their company's influence is not only in the business world but also in politics, and it can be said that they have a power comparable to that of a country!
Even in some military research, they have far surpassed some countries!
Ley and Jady automatically stepped forward, swapping out the two assaulters. The four of them formed a tactical search formation, cautiously and quickly rushing in!
"Wait!"
Lin Xun suddenly remembered that in the movie, there were over a dozen zombie dogs in the security room of the beehive!
Although it's unclear whether they're the same or not, it's necessary to make them vigilant and prepare for a rainy day in order to live longer!
"Attention all personnel, self-destruct sequence initiated in security room, all living organisms will be destroyed!"
Lin Chen immediately loosened one of his fingers gripping the short sword, pressed down on the earpiece and issued a command.
"Oh! Damn it! What is this thing?!"
"Oh! Damn it..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Almost as soon as Lin Xuan's voice fell, Jidi's exclamation and Lai's angry shouts came back from the earpiece!
Immediately afterwards, a burst of gunfire came from the security room, and the sound of "ding ding ding" shell casings hitting the ground was exceptionally crisp!
"Quick!"
Matthew knew something must have happened inside the security room, quickly reloaded his magazine and followed the team into the security room!
"Lin Chen, hurry up!"
Outside of Lin Chen's dust, the other eight people have already entered the safe room. Alice guards the door and shouts loudly at Lin Chen a few meters away.
The zombie crowd behind Lin Chen was less than three meters away from him!
Just in time.
Lin Chen made a judgment in his heart, and his tired body began to exert force. He leaned forward, taking one step that left the zombie crowd two meters behind!
Alice seemed a bit nervous as she pressed the door handle, and as soon as Lin Chen ran into the security room, she would close this thick iron door at the fastest speed!
Even more zombies can't break down the door made of Hive alloy!
"Hiss!"
In less than a second, Lin Chen's speed had completely picked up, his figure was like a gust of wind, directly charging into the security room!
The horde of zombies was still a good five meters away from the gate that Alice guarded.
Bang!
The heavy metal gate made a dull sound, the cold door handle rotated and locked onto the lock, completely isolating all the zombies on this side of the passage!
At least a dozen centimeters of alloy gates, even if the mutated licking beasts can't break through, no matter how tireless the zombies are, how many there are, and how many can gather at the gate, they can't exceed ten heads.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A burst of continuous banging sounds, through the metal gate with tempered glass inlays, a zombie with half its face torn off can be clearly seen ferociously crashing over, splashing large patches of dark red on the transparent glass!
Alice snorted, with these zombies' crashing method, even if given a hundred years, they probably still can't crash open the door!
Lin Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, previously in order to rush into this safe room as soon as possible, regardless of physical fatigue, bursting out the fastest speed.
As a result, the sore muscles were somewhat disobedient, and at the moment of entering the gate, his left foot stiffened for an instant, causing his movements to lose coordination, and his ankle was sprained!
It's okay, the pain isn't that severe and I didn't hear any unusual sounds. It should just be a minor sprain. If I can bear with it for a bit, I should be able to get through this task without issue.
What Lin Chen needs to worry about now is what happened in this security room.
Jedi's gunfire had stopped, indicating they'd resolved whatever trouble they'd encountered, but...
The scene in the security room made Lin Chen's face unable to relax at all, those iron wire cages with central openings, seemed like extremely unstable sources of danger, which could jump out at any time and bring a fatal blow to this team!
"Attention all personnel! Attention all personnel! Damn it, what's the point of Protective Umbrella Corporation keeping so many dogs?!"
Lin Xun's gait was slightly unnatural as he walked, and along the way, he found that there were more than 20 dog cages stacked in the security room!
And every iron cage's mesh door had a large hole the size of a washbasin in the middle, with each wire pointing outward and forming a ring shape at the opening, as if some kind of evil ritual had been performed to let something out!
At each break of the iron wire, Lin Dun discovered some crimson flesh fragments, emitting a faint stench!
Lin Xun understood in his heart that this was the big dogs in the cage who had been infected with the T-virus and transformed into zombie dogs, tearing open the iron cage to escape, and the rotten flesh scraped off their bodies!
More than twenty iron cages means there are at least over ten zombie dogs nearby!
For this team that has almost exhausted its ammunition and is already mentally fatigued, these zombie dogs will pose a huge threat!
It may even lead to casualties in this team!
This is what Lin Chen least wants to see!
Not just because every single head here is equivalent to a day's survival time, but also because of their trust in themselves!
(I said I'd bring you all back safely to the ground...)
"Attention! Attention!"
Lin Xun shouted loudly as he quickly walked towards the room where Jady and the others were.
The security room of the hive is not a single room, but consists of several interconnected rooms!
There are monitoring rooms, weapon storage rooms, and dog houses that Lin Chen has just entered...
"What happened to you?"
Although he had a guess in his heart, what Lin Chen wanted was not a guess, but intelligence.
As soon as the words fell, Lin Chen, who had just entered the monitoring room, knew that his guess had been confirmed!
Two objects, each about the size of a small calf, lay horizontally on the ground. A dark red, nauseating trail extended from the doorway to under one of the objects, like some kind of perverted masterpiece!
Judging from their physical structure and most of their mentality, these things should be canine animals, similar to the zombie dogs in the movie, but not exactly the same.
"If it weren't for BOSS saying we need to conserve ammo, I would have blown their asses off a long time ago!"
Rae roughly slung the submachine gun over her waist, speaking in a coarse tone as she wrapped a roll of antiseptic gauze around her arm with the help of the medical staff.
The black combat uniform was soaked in a patch, the color became more solemn, and the air seemed to have a pungent bloody smell!
"Did those guys bite you?"
Lin Cen's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, not because of the danger of mutation after being infected with the T virus, but because he was worried about Lai's wound! And...
The biting force of zombie dogs far exceeds that when they were alive and can easily crush a person's skeleton!
(Frantically seeking recommendations! Seeking to be added to bookshelves! During this difficult period, I've been relying on the support of all my brothers and sisters!)
