Chapter 166 - Mysterious Female Scientist (1/2)

“I’m hungry…” A pair of rotten hands suddenly appeared in the cave, and then a zombie propped up his body with both hands, revealing its ugly head.

Long Xi had already opened the safety of the gun and shot the zombie quickly.

But her bullet was off target. Fortunately, Fu Xinjie helped her make up for it and shot through the zombie’s head, whose blood splashed on Long Xi’s face.

“F**k!” The zombie did not seem to feel any pain. After a few convulsions with numb expression, it said the last sentence and lay motionless at the cave entrance.

Long Xi took two steps back in terror and fear, wiped the blood from her face, and said with a trembling voice, “How can this zombie talk? Maybe it is not a real walking dead? Is it something between a human being and a zombie? Eh? Isn’t he Brother Fenggou? I know his clothes. When did he get the virus? We’ve been in contact with him, so will we be infected?”

Yan Wangchuan held her and said, “Don’t worry! We won’t mutate. If we were infected, we would have already mutated!”

Yu Fei took out another pair of binoculars and continued to investigate. He saw a faint fire in the bamboo forest in the distance.

Lu Hua reminded everyone, “The key to our mission is not to kill the zombies, but to eliminate the source of the virus. First of all, we need to find out where the source of the virus is!”

Long Xi said, “Those zombies can talk and are different from those on TV! Otherwise, let’s catch a zombie and interrogate him to see if he knows when he got the virus.”

Fu Xinjie said, “Good idea!”

Yu Fei suddenly said, “I see them!”

Long Xi picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction that Yu Fei pointed.

With the light-emitting function of the binoculars, Long Xi could see a tower on the top of the mountain. There were countless zombies walking under the tower, just like mushrooms springing up overnight!

These zombies walked slowly, aimlessly…

Seeing so many zombies, Long Xi took a breath of cold air. It was too much. Even if she shot their heads with every bullet, she could not kill so many zombies.

“With so many zombies, will the virus source be in the tower?” Long Xi asked.

Yu Fei said bravely, “I’ll go to investigate. Don’t worry. I used to be a scout. I know how to disguise and hide.”

Fu Xinjie nodded and said, “You should disguise yourself better and do not let them find you.”

Yu Fei daubed his face with mud, wrapped some vine branches and leaves on his body, put on a green helmet, slowly climbed down the rope from the cave entrance, and slowly and stealthily advanced toward the tower.

Long Xi looked at the tower, which was as high as three floors. Each floor had a small opening similar to a window. This small opening could only accommodate one child at most. The size of an adult’s body could not pass through at all.

10 minutes later, Yu Fei sent back a message on his walkie-talkie and said, “There are many zombies here, outside and inside the tower. The door of the tower is made of iron and the walls of the tower are made of steel and cement, which can be blown up with bombs. I just saw a woman with a good figure walk in wearing a white robe and a white mask. She has a cool bald head. She looks like a female doctor, not a zombie. But the zombies don’t do anything to her. They seemed afraid of her and obeyed her command.”

Fu Xinjie said, “A female doctor? Will the source of the virus be in her hands?”

Long Xi said, “She may not be a female doctor. Maybe she’s a female scientist. Every time Brother Kun develops something in the laboratory, he will wear a white robe and white mask.”

Lu Hua said, “Female scientist? Maybe she develops these viruses that make people become zombies. Brother Jie, shall we attack the tower?”

Fu Xinjie said, “We don’t have much time. We need to take the initiative! Let’s see how many human players are left! Every player has a walkie-talkie!”

Long Xi understood and said into the walkie-talkie, “Players who have not become a zombie, report your name. Remember, speak faster! So we can make sure you are still human! I’ll report first. I’m Long Xi.”

From the other end of the walkie-talkie came quick replies. “Zhao Fangfang”, “Lao Li”…

Long Xi counted. There were only 21 players who reported their names.

Together with the seven people in Long Xi’s group, there were a total of 28 people.

Before they finished speaking, a male player suddenly rushed through the grass in front of the tower and shot at the zombies outside the tower.

Fu Xinjie said into the walkie-talkie, “You all need to find a place to hide, and try not to be found by zombies. We must save our strength!”

People at the other end of the walkie-talkie replied, “OK!” “I’m hidden!”

Fu Xinjie turned off the walkie-talkie and said to Long Xi, “Most of them are scattered. Now we seven people need to unite. Five of us need to be strikers and attack the tower. Grandma Pu and Weiwei, stay in the base camp. I will arrange the tactics…”

After arranging the tactics, the six of them disguised themselves and joined Yu Fei.

“Dada…” Yan Wangchuan was the first to rush out. The submachine gun continuously fired bullets like fire. A whole row of zombies fell down together. However, after the zombies behind found them, they rushed over with strange cries.

Yan Wangchuan’s main task was to lure zombies away.

He ran into the deep woods, and the zombies pursued him closely, but most of them were far away because of their slow movements.

At this time, there were only a few scattered zombies below the tower.

Fu Xinjie, Yu Fei, Long Xi, Lu Hua, and Bai Bing launched an attack at the same time. Finally, the zombies at the gate of the tower were temporarily cleared. Fu Xinjie let Lu Hua hide with a sniper gun and guard this stronghold, and others rushed into the tower.

There were also many zombies in the tower. They overcame all the difficulties in the way and all got hurt in the fierce battle but finally arrived at the top of the tower.

There was an attic on the top of the tower. The iron door was closed.

They were about to break in. Unexpectedly, the iron door suddenly opened and a woman in a white mask came out.

She said to them, “Come in. Congratulations. The source of the virus is here.”

“You are a scientist?” Long Xi asked.

“Yeah,” the female scientist said, taking the initiative to let everyone in, then shut the iron gate.

Fu Xinjie continued to aim at her with a gun and Long Xi locked the iron door.

A dim light flickered in the attic. It resembled a laboratory room inside. Except for the iron door, there was only a small opening like a window, which could be a vent.

There was a hospital bed near the vent. The female scientist looked at Bai Bing, who was stabbed by zombies and bleeding from her chest. She said, “She’s seriously injured. She needs to be infused immediately.”

“Wait a minute.” Long Xi stopped the action of the female scientist for the first time.

Although the attic was clean on the surface, as soon as Long Xi entered here, she smelled an odor of corpses.
