The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary

Seeing the situation inside, Gu Chi took half a step back.

“Captain Gu?”

“Too many…”

Lin Xun was taken aback, and hurried over.

Inside the door, in an area less than 200 square meters, there were fifty or sixty zombies moving around! More importantly, he did not see any traces of humans…

“Lin Xun, you step back and hook the handle with vines.”

“What are you going to do?”

“It’s too slow to kill them one by one, and the risk is too great.”

Lin Xun quickly reacted, took Chi Ying back a few steps, and at the same time hooked the doorknob with vines as instructed by Gu Chi.

Gu Chi retreated a dozen meters away from the door and said, “Open the door.”

Hearing it, Lin Xun tightened the vines, and the door opened. The zombies inside noticed the “food” outside the door, and rushed to it one after another. Even many of those who were squeezed to the side crawled forward.

“Ho ho ho!” Food!

“Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!”

Don’t squeeze! It’s all mine!

Gu Chi stood in front of them alone, and the ice blue light in his eyes flashed past. A faint blue halo enveloped him, wrapping him from top to bottom.

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly. Chi Ying turned around and saw the scene in front of her.

With Gu Chi as the dividing line, everything behind him was as usual, only the temperature had dropped by at least ten degrees. However, a large area in front of him was covered with a layer of cold frost. A thick layer of ice formed on the ground and walls.

Those zombies who were so excited got frozen, staying in place without moving.

Chi Ying took a closer look tentatively.

They died?

Gu Chi answered the doubts in her heart, and said to Mu Yu and others who had already walked over, “Their vitality is very tenacious. If you don’t cut off their heads, they will get up again after a while.”

“The ice can last for a while, go ahead and find survivors.”

Mu Yu and the others behind also followed.

Gu Chi entered the door, took care of the few zombies in the laboratory, and searched around.

“Well……”

There was a loud kick under the table, and a person rolled out of it.

“Help!” They heard the voice of an adult man.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That person should have been hiding at the bottom all the time. Fortunately, he was not discovered by the zombies.

Lu Yunfei pulled him up from the ground and asked, “What about the others? Is there anyone else alive besides you?”

The man was frightened, as he stuttered, “No, I don’t know.”

“What happened? It was all fine before we left!”

“Yes… When the members went out to collect corpses, one of them was bitten by a zombie. When we found out, he had already summoned zombies to attack the research institute…”

“However, these guys never knew how to attack in group strategy in the past! We usually meet a group of zombies but they just happen to be together. Why all of a sudden…” Lu Yunfei frowned puzzled.

“They’re evolving.” Gu Chi said firmly, “Not only are they evolving physically, but a considerable part of them should also be evolving intellectually.”

He said solemnly, “Professor Yu’s theory has been verified. He said before that zombies will continue to evolve. The one with the highest force and intelligence may become the leader of the zombies, and the rest of the low-level zombies will obey their orders…”

“Check around to see if there are others. And you…” Gu Chi looked at the survivor, “You send the preserved experimental data to the headquarters.”

The man shook his head and said, “The data is updated simultaneously, but the research results were all completed by the team… I usually do most of the sample collection work, and I didn’t directly participate in the research. So I don’t know where the results are.”

As he spoke, there was a hint of grief in his voice.

Song Shi comforted him, “It’s okay, it’s a blessing to be able to survive.”

Chi Ying tilted her head.  She seemed to hear something.

Her hearing was much sharper than that of ordinary people, and she could perceive even small, hard-to-notice sounds.

The sound seemed to be ahead, a little further to the left…

She stopped in front of a huge, snow-white oval cabin, just big enough to accommodate a person. There were about a dozen such large boxes in that area.

She leaned over and listened carefully.

There was indeed a sound of friction similar to that of a bark, which was very weak, and it was even more difficult to hear clearly through that kind of material with strong sound insulation.

Chi Ying turned around and opened her mouth, “Gu…”

She hesitated for a moment about what to call him. Captain Gu? No, she was not his teammate either. But Gu Chi should be much older than her, so it  seemed a bit strange to call his name directly.

She frowned lightly. It was a little troublesome, so she simply didn’t think about it so much, and shouted directly, “Gu Chi!”

“…”

Gu Chi was really startled by the sound.

One was that Chi Ying’s voice was very loud; the other reason was that after the outbreak of the zombie virus, almost no one called him by his name, and after he was promoted to commander, even the top management of the Human Alliance had to call him “Captain Gu”.

Surprised and shocked, he stood silently.

After recovering, he walked toward Chi Ying.

“There is someone there,” Chi Ying pointed to the huge white oval cabin.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I heard a voice.”

Gu Chi was startled, closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while, but he didn’t hear any sound.

Chi Ying pointed in dissatisfaction, “Get closer.”

“…”

Gu Chi leaned over to listen.
