Chapter 65: The Origin of Viruses (Part 2)

  Night once again shrouded the earth, in a desolate city devoid of any vitality. The streets and alleys were filled with swaying zombies, like beasts awakened from slumber, their pupils enlarged, noses constantly shrinking. Their movements became more agile, wailing due to the lack of 'food'. Outside the bank where Yang Hao was located, a group of zombies seemed to have discovered tire tracks on the ground. Their gaze followed the direction of the tire tracks, their feet unconsciously moving forward...

  "Have you guys heard of the Iraq virus??? We're studying this virus in order to counter Iraq and create pressure..."

  "Mr. Yang, I'm just a scientist, when it comes to political matters, I really don't understand..." Yang Hao looked at Li Guangyi with disdain and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ah, the Chinese are smart, known throughout the world. The Jews are born businessmen, while the Chinese are born pioneers. But how many Chinese elites are working for their own country? In a US Pentagon, 70% of top scientists are Chinese Americans. This Li Guangyi in front of him is also one, a Chinese with an American nationality. A dog wearing tiger skin, thinking that the tiger skin can bring it safety and security."

  "Master, are you there????" Yang Hao said into the headset.

  "Yang Hao, Master hasn't slept for several days and just fell asleep not long ago... If there's anything, you can tell me first and I'll pass it on to him when he wakes up..." The soft voice of Zi Lei came through the earpiece. It seems that after Yang Hao left, none of these people left, they all stayed around Master Yiyang, closely watching Yang Hao's every move.

  "Cough...cough...A Hao~~~~What were you saying? I dozed off for a bit just now..." Yi Yang Shu heard Zi Lei's voice and quickly grabbed the microphone, clearing his throat to ask anxiously.

  "Master, you were right... We are now in a secret laboratory under a bank. According to the surviving scientists here, the zombie virus is indeed from China's Jiangshi."

  "Well if that's the case, it seems I need to make a trip to Maoshan... Ah Hao, you all withdraw back to Canada immediately, everything wait until I get back..."

  "I understand, Master. What about these survivors then?"

  "I'll let Kerry arrange it, try to transfer all of them if possible..." Uncle Yang said before hanging up the phone.

  "Mr. Li Guangyi, how many survivors are there in total?"

  "30 warriors, my 3 assistants, a total of 34 people..." Li Guangyi immediately stated the situation of the survivors, it seems that this kid's status in this research institute is not low, just protecting him has 30 people, equivalent to an entire platoon.

  "Kerry... I'm Yang Hao... Received, please respond..."

  "Received...please speak..."

  "Arrange for a transport helicopter to pick us up immediately, there are 3 of us and 34 survivors, but this is temporary, it's unclear if there are any other survivors. Please make the necessary arrangements..."

  "Alright, it can be arranged within 30 minutes. Where shall we meet?"

  "Let's meet at the rooftop of that tall building on our way back~~~~" Kairui responded with a few words and then went to prepare.

  As soon as Yang Hao loosened his grip on the microphone, he heard chaotic footsteps and shouting coming from outside. "Retreat... Now..." "Go go go....."

  "What's going on?" Yang Hao suddenly felt a sense of turbulent impact and asked Li Guangyi, but Li Guangyi didn't know what had happened either. He only saw a group of armed soldiers constantly retreating to the back, occasionally firing their guns. Seeing this situation, Li Guangyi also became anxious, hastily pulling over a soldier to ask questions. After whispering for a few sentences, Li Guangyi's face turned iron-gray.

  "It evolved.... They evolved again....."

  "What's going on?" Yang Hao hadn't even had time to react when several soldiers stumbled and knocked over a few ammunition boxes, almost hitting themselves. Yang Hao dodged to the side, avoiding the falling ammunition box, and his line of sight was immediately unobstructed. In the corridor corner not far from them, more than a dozen soldiers were running towards their direction in a panic... Among them, two or three people fell to the ground, and before they could get up, they saw a dark shadow rushing over and pouncing on one of them, biting and tearing at him. Immediately after, a shrill scream shook everyone's eardrums, and Yang Hao was also shocked by the sudden situation...

  "Hurry up and retreat to the back!" Li Guangyi quickly ran to an electronic gate, frantically entered the password with his hands shaking all over, and loudly shouted at the crowd. The thick and heavy gate slowly opened, a group of extremely frightened soldiers, without caring about anything else, scurried away like a swarm of flies.

  "Brother Deng, you take that Li guy and get out of here first, he's still useful to us... I'll cover for you with Tiger Head..." Yang Hao had just finished speaking when several more people were ruthlessly slammed to the ground... The entire corridor instantly descended into chaos, with blood-curdling screams, terrifying growls, gunfire, and the panicked cries of American soldiers all mixed together... Upon hearing Yang Hao's words, Yu Deng nodded and took a swift step forward, rushing to Li Guangyi's side and pulling him behind the iron door.

  Yang Hao and Hu Tou quickly retreated to the back of two supply boxes, squatting with their backs against the boxes, panting heavily. Then, taking cover, Yang Hao used his gun's scope to peer outside. The entire corridor was a straight downward passage, and where Yang Hao was currently located was an original arched hallway, except for several experimental rooms, there were no other exits, the entire area was like a light bulb, narrow entrance, large interior hall. It seemed that the iron gate was the only way out of here. As the zombies got closer and closer, the soldiers beside him seemed to have lost their strength, running slower and slower. Yang Hao had no choice but to use his gun butt to strike these dispirited guys while firing.

  "My equipment... all my data is still in the lab..." Li Guangyi struggled to rush out of the iron gate, but was pulled back by Yu Deng. "You stay right there... I'll go..." After finishing speaking, Yu Deng rushed towards the laboratory that had already been occupied by zombies...

  Hutou used his left to drop a big head, and suddenly felt a cool breeze sweeping past his back. He turned around to see Yudeng's figure rushing out like a ghost.

  "Senior brother..." Yang Hao's gaze was drawn by the tiger head's shout, and his scope also swept over to take aim at Yu Deng, who had his Qilin knife held horizontally across his chest with his right hand and his Nu Huo knife pressed against his waist with his left. Just as he rushed to the laboratory door, two zombies came running out, roaring loudly. Yu Deng didn't even have time to look around, relying solely on instinct that something was approaching. He spun around to his left rear direction, and his Nu Huo knife ended up lodged in one of the zombie's heads. With a horizontal slash of his right hand, the zombie's head flew off... Before Yu Deng could steady himself, another zombie had already closed in, its jaws wide open as it bit towards Yu Deng's left hand...

  "Bang....." The zombie's mouth did indeed touch Yu Deng's left hand, but because its head had been blown open by the bullet, it couldn't bite down. Yu Deng turned his head to look at Yang Hao, nodded in gratitude, and then suddenly darted into the laboratory...

  In the lab, there were also 2 zombies gnawing on a dead American soldier. As soon as they turned their heads, they had their heads chopped off by Yu Deng. Looking around, the lab was now in disarray, with some experimental notes scattered all over the floor, damaged beyond recognition. Yu Deng squatted down to take a look at the notes on the ground, only to see that they were covered in blood and rotten flesh. The writing was completely illegible. Yu Deng threw them aside in disappointment, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he spotted 2 computers in the corner. They were still on, displaying some experimental data. Without hesitation, Yu Deng rushed over, shut down the computers, and removed their hard drives. Just as he turned around to leave, he found that the entrance was now crowded with zombies... With a leap, he jumped over several disgusting heads and landed amidst the zombie horde. This time, Yu Deng's body was completely surrounded, with layer upon layer of zombies seemingly going crazy as they converged towards the center...

  "Tiger head... charge..." Yang Hao said as he put his gun behind him and pulled out a military dagger, charging forward. Tiger Head followed closely behind. All of this was seen by Li Guangyi, and the group of American soldiers were also watching with their eyes wide open. When faced with danger, the Americans' first reaction was to run away, not caring about the lives or deaths of their comrades. Now seeing Yang Hao and his team, the faces of these warriors suddenly darkened...

  Yu Dēng was in the midst of a zombie horde, ceaselessly wielding his dual blades. If he paused for even a second, he would be pinned to the ground and torn to shreds. The surrounding zombies had already closed in within 2 meters of his body. Yu Dēng felt that no matter how hard he fought or charged, he couldn't carve out a bloody path, his physical strength rapidly dwindling, his movements growing slower and slower.

  "Brother, hold on...!" Yang Hao shouted loudly, his dagger slicing open another zombie's skull. His body was splattered all over with foul-smelling stuff.

  "We are soldiers" Just as Yang Hao was at a loss for what to do, the shouts of the American soldiers came from behind him. It's unknown what kind of power drove them, but the remaining few soldiers charged out and crazily swept their guns back and forth at the zombies that were surrounding them from both sides. Instantly, the pressure on Yang Hao's side was greatly reduced, but Yu Deng was still in the middle of the zombie crowd, and delaying for a second might lead to an accident.

  "Hey, boy use this!" Suddenly a hand patted Yang Hao's shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw a foreigner handing him a flash grenade. Yang Hao immediately understood what he meant, and nodded his head in gratitude. He then pulled the ring, and threw it into the midst of the zombie crowd...

  Just as Yu Deng was about to collapse, he suddenly heard a "puff" sound in his ear, followed by a strong white light that flashed before his eyes, causing him to lose some of his vision. The zombies seemed to be affected too, all spinning around on the spot. Yang Hao saw an opportunity and squeezed forward... Just as Yu Deng was about to pass out, he suddenly felt a hand grab him, and he instinctively tried to struggle free, but a familiar voice sounded in his ear...
