Chapter 397: Chapter 126: Cleaning the Institute, Launching the Salvation_3

With a ticking sound.

The warrior who had cracked the code turned his head, nodded at everyone, then directly opened the door. His body rolled, quickly returning to the team.

The electronic door opened.

Everyone held their breath, intently watching the situation inside.

The first thing they saw was a dimly lit corridor, sparks occasionally splattering on the walls. Seeing this, everyone instantly understood that there was no hope left.

"Hehehe"

The zombies’ sinister laughter echoed from the dark corridor.

Following that.

A zombie rushed out of the corridor towards the outside, only to be instantly slain by Eagle with a single stroke of his blade.

"In situations of few numbers, there’s no need to fire. Leave it to Ye Hong and I, but if there are many, shoot to kill, aiming for the head," Eagle instructed.

"Received."

"Received?"

Eagle led the way, turning on the flashlight. The dim corridor grew somewhat brighter. The metal walls were covered with various blood stains, evidently marking an unimaginable catastrophe that had occurred at the very moment the apocalypse broke out.

As they continued to advance.

There was a restroom.

They heard a dripping sound to their ears.

It was the sound of water dripping from the restroom taps.

Eagle raised his hand, signaling everyone to prepare for defence as he walked toward the restroom, his fingers tapping on the wall tiles, making a noise.

"Hehe,"

said a zombie.

Eagle reached the source of the "hehe" sound. Without thinking, he opened the door and immediately a zombie lunged at him. If he hadn’t been wearing the "Dragon Armor," he could have been knocked to the ground. But now, he simply swung his fist and smashed the zombie’s head with a single punch.

"What a disgusting thing."

Since wearing the "Dragon Armor," Eagle had become somewhat arrogant, his contempt for zombies reaching its peak.

"Restroom clear, continue the mission."

Eagle was very cautious; he wasn’t worried about himself, for the "Dragon Armor" protected him from zombie bites. However, his teammates behind him were all flesh and blood. He had to ensure the safety of his comrades, who were not wearing any armor.

Facing unknown dangers, they naturally felt fear.

But even if scared, it had to be done.

They could not let the base’s experts handle weapons against zombies after all.

Their hands were meant for research, working on things that could save society, not for wielding iron rods to fight desperately against zombies.

Such deadly tasks were better left to coarse men like them.

As they walked on, a situation arose ahead.

A dark mass of zombies swayed in the dim corner, falling into a brief silence. As the light shone on their faces, their fierce and terrifying expressions became clearly visible.

"Hehehe,"

the zombies, becoming aware of the noise, uttered a low roar and lunged at them.

Eagle and Ye Hong slaughtered the zombies.

Gunshots accompanied them.

Suddenly, a zombie, which had been missed, charged at a warrior who was not wearing any armor. Shooting it was inevitable.

Fortunately, the soundproofing here was excellent, and there were many doors blocking the sound, which did not spread far, failing to attract all the zombies from the entire research institute.

Before long.

"Check the surroundings."

"Safe."

"Safe."

"Safe."

It was crucial not to rush when clearing out zombies.

Eagle also deeply understood just how important it was to have the "Dragon Armor." Without it, relying only on their firearms would definitely have resulted in casualties.

As they continued to move forward.

"The corridor is clear."

...

"The laboratory is safe."

...

"The material room is safe."

Before the apocalypse hit, there were not a few people in the laboratory, but as the apocalypse broke out, some turned into zombies while others fought against them. Thus, during their clearance, they found quite a few bodies.

Those people were not killed by zombies; they had committed suicide.

Presumably, because they felt there was no hope of living.

They could only leave this horrific hell through suicide.

At this moment.

They reached the dining area, which was in chaos: very dirty, with trash everywhere, bloodstains, and overturned tables indicating that this place had definitely been a disaster area when the apocalypse erupted.

"Hehe,"

a fat zombie dressed in a chef’s outfit charged around the corner. Eagle didn’t hesitate. As it approached him, he performed a shoulder throw, plunging a straight knife into the zombie’s head with a squelch.

Suddenly.

It seemed like there was some activity behind that iron door ahead.

Eagle motioned for everyone to be alert and then stepped toward the iron door. Swinging his fist, he smashed the doorknob with a bang. Just as he pushed the door open, a roar erupted. A man in a white lab coat, his expression panicked and eyes fierce, swung an axe at Eagle’s head.

Had it been any other survivor, upon opening the door, there would have been no escape. They would’ve been split open by the axe.

Eagle grabbed the axe, quickly assessed the man’s condition.

"There’s still a surviving one."

After speaking,

he embraced the living survivor, his metallic body against him, gently patting his back, forcibly comforting him.

"Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. We’re here to rescue you. The zombies have all been eliminated; you have nothing to worry about."

Such hardcore comforting often works wonders.

Touching the cold, icy steel armor.

The survivor’s emotions gradually stabilized, not as mad as before.

Eagle took the opportunity to inspect the inside. There was a lot of food piled up, and many excrements, clearly indicating that the man had been trapped inside for a long time, with no escape, having to relieve himself right there.
