Soon, the building fell into chaos. Screams and cries were heard from every corner, shattering the quietness. Following the screams were the noises of fighting and things breaking. People started running out in panic.

Zombies! They turned into zombies! Help!


Ahhhhh!


Roar!

That chaos spread in the base, and the other bases were going through the same situation as well.


Wang Jian had just opened his eyes before he heard the screams from next door. He sprung up from the bed in his pajamas, quickly dragged out a case from under his bed, and opened it. The case was full of guns and bullets.
He assembled a gun smoothly, then raised it and moved to the door side to listen to the sounds from the outside very carefully. He heard the noises coming from the hallways and the other rooms. People were screaming, fighting, and bumping into each other. The same kind of noises had been coming from the window, mixing together with gunshots and zombie roars.
Wang Jian blinked, then flashed to the window and looked outside.
Downstairs, people were desperately running away from the building. Some soldiers had been firing their weapons at different directions. He looked around and found a couple of zombies attacking people.
Wang Jian lived in that room alone. The people were under his command.
At that moment, only two of the six people next door got up from their beds. The other four were still lying motionlessly.

Roar…
One of the two who had gotten up was no longer a human being.
Qiao Liangting was dumbfounded when he saw the black-eyed Huang Tiange pounce on him ferociously. He was fine last night before sleeping. How come he turned into a zombie in the morning?
While thinking hard, Qiao Liangting made a quick roll on the ground to dodge Huang Tiange’s attack.

Roar!
Huang Tiange missed his target, but soon turned around and charged again.


At that point, Qiao Liangting had already picked up a gun. He raised the gun and shot Huang Tiange in the head without hesitation.
Bang! The bullet sank into Huang Tiange’s forehead. The zombie froze, and then fell to the ground.
Looking at the dead zombie on the ground, Qiao Liangting wore a grim look that did not contain a strong sadness.
They were both commoners struggling to survive in the post-apocalyptic era. They worried about virus infection every single day. Any one of them could suddenly turn into a zombie. For that very reason, they never let themselves get too close with each other, or they might not be able to react in time when something like now happened.
After the zombie died, Qiao Liangting raised his head to look at the other four people vigilantly. He and the zombie had made such loud noises just now, yet the four were still lying still on the ground. That should not have happened.
He slowly raised his gun and carefully approached one of the four. Half of that man’s face was covered under the blanket. His skin had withered, as if he was drained. His eyes were sunk deep, looking like two empty holes. Even his eyeballs were dry.
His hair looked like dry straw.
What happened?
Qiao Liangting didn’t understand.
He alertly checked the rest three men and found them all in the same state. In that dorm room, only two of the six woke up. He was the only one stayed alive.


Why did they suddenly become like that? What on earth had happened?
…
Lin Qiao had just completed one round of energy absorption. Suddenly, screams and strange zombie roars came into her ears, followed by gunshots and explosions.
She frowned and quickly got off the bed, walking to the balcony and looking outside. She sensed the vibes that belonged to many strange zombies. The scents of living human beings had weakened by fifty percent.

Chief! Something happened?
Right at that moment, quick door knocks were heard.

What’s going on?
Lin Qiao flashed to the door and opened it as she asked Duan Juan, who was outside.

For some reason, forty percent of people in our base died this morning, and ten percent turned into level-two zombies. Those were all commoners. The superpowered people are fine!
Duan Juan wore a very serious look. She didn’t panic, but stayed calmed and told Lin Qiao what she knew.

The whole base? Only commoners? Are you sure?
Lin Qiao walked straight out of her door, toward the roof.

Yes. That’s what we know so far.

A few others were already standing at the edge of the roof, facing the base.



It’s so weird! Why did so many people die suddenly? What turned those people into zombies? Were they infected earlier?
Yun Meng said with a deep frown.
They were gathering on the roof, preparing to leave the base to attack those big rats. While waiting for the others, they sensed many strange zombies from the base, and the weakening of the human scent.
At that time, Xie Dong showed up before Lin Qiao and said to her,
Chief, Mrs. Lin is…

Lin Qiao widened her eyes, then disappeared from where she was.
On hearing what Xie Dong said, the others all had their expressions changing. Next, they rushed toward where Mrs. Lin lived together.
By the time Lin Qiao arrived at that building, a soldier ran out of the entrance and said to Lin Qiao,
We kept her in the room…

Lin Qiao didn’t pause, but rushed straight into the building and quickly ran upstairs with a very dark face. At that moment, the door and all the windows in Mrs. Lin’s room had been sealed by metal bars. A zombie with disheveled hair was trapped in that room.

Roar…
The zombie was no one else but Mrs. Lin herself. Her eyes had turned black. She bared her teeth and roared at the people outside with a thirsty look. Her hands gripped the metal bars at the door; her fingernails having turned black as well.

How did this happen! How did it happen! She was fine yesterday!
Lin Wenwen stood by the door, leaning on the wall. She popped her red eyes, gazing at the zombie while murmuring. Her face was filled with disbelief.
She had heard what happened in the base. Before she could face that disaster, she was told that her mother had turned into a zombie too.


Why didn’t she see this in her mind in advance? Why didn’t she have a hunch about what had happened this morning? She saw none of this!
Why!
Lin Qiao ran over. Seeing the zombie trapped in the room, she had her heart sinking. She felt as if a rock had fallen into her chest, which made her shiver.
As Lin Qiao and the other high-leveled zombies arrived, Mrs. Lin suddenly quieted down.
