Coming of the Villain Boss! - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Zombie Note (12)

The fight ended with Ning Le passing her food to Chen Wei. This allowed Chen Wei to develop good feelings towards Ning Le and they stayed together happily.

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!”

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.
