Under Lin Lin's shocked gaze, Jiang Chen sprinted out the door, and then quickly returned. Except for this time, he carried a chainsaw with him. Combined with the grin on his face, it seemed quite vicious.
”You, what are you trying to do?” Lin Lin shivered, curled up in a corner as she watched on in horror.
But Jiang Chen didn't bother with her. He tested the sensitivity of the chainsaw before planting a foot firmly on the windowsill and jumping out with the same wicked smile.
Still frightened, Lin Lin panted as she tried to calm her violently heaving chest.
[This is the third floor! He jumped down just like that?]

As both feet slammed into the ground, Jiang Chen's body smoothly dropped and rolled, managing to break the fall together with his reflex of 48. The only disappointment with fury though was that it could not enhance bone strength, and an excruciating pain needled outwards from his feet to the entirety of his legs.
”Grhhh—”
Zombies had already detected the noise, and they shambled their way with increasing acceleration towards his direction.
A glimpse of insanity flashed across Jiang Chen's face. He promptly lifted the chainsaw and mashed the power switch.
Whoooosh—!
Accompanied by the deafening screeches of metal, he sprinted towards the zombies that leapt towards him and forcefully shoved ahead with the chainsaw in hand.
The shrill screeching continued, now accompanied by the grinding sounds of metal cutting through flesh and bone. The resistance against his palm as well as the agitation in his stomach made him grit his teeth and push forward.
”Ahhhhhh!”
He swung the chainsaw and hacked the zombies into pieces, letting the black blood stain his entire face and shirt. Jiang Chen roared, maintaining his sprint as he desperately ran towards the underground parking.
Fortunately, the fury state was not excited by the data-simulated blood; in a normal instance, this amount of blood would have had him following his instincts and running into the middle of the zombie horde.
Recalling the map from the reception room, Jiang Chen carried the screeching chainsaw and gouged the window open to the bathroom and jumped inside, blocking the zombies at the window.
He chopped up two female zombies who had their bottoms half-covered before kicking through the bathroom door and dashing out.
The area outside of the reception room was full of zombies; he couldn't go through the main hall, so he opted to cut through.
He didn't stop for a single moment; there was no time to care about exaggerated movements attracting zombies. Jiang Chen pushed through the office door to the bathroom and kicked the door into pieces.
Inside the dark hallway, zombies had already begun to howl. After rushing into the room, Jiang Chen dragged the cupboard to block behind him and ran to the window without turning to look back.
He broke through the window using his chainsaw and jumped out.
The zombies rushed the door, tripping over the fallen cupboard, some managing to crawl swiftly into the room. But Jiang Chen had already escaped outside, and after chopping through a few more wandering zombies, ran for his life into the underground parking.
There was half a minute left.
No zombies to be seen in the underground parking.
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and threw away the chainsaw. He grabbed the flashlight he had found in the reception room and scanned the pitch-black area.
Here it is!
The number ”005” was painted at the top in white, far away from him. Jiang Chen dashed towards it and smashed the red button.
The floor opened, and he jumped in without hesitation.
The last he glimpsed were the fading pieces of the world's edges.
[Thank god, I made it.]

Just as Jiang Chen had assumed and prayed for, the game reset didn't have any influence on the game control. This was the end of the entire game, where the data was documented. If his guess was correct, then there should have been a place prepared for Lin Lin.
Lin Lin's status was not as simple as it seemed; she was at least a scientist. Everyone had died, but only she had managed to flow into the veil unscathed.
But even if the control was prepared for her, she was unable to use it anymore.
The artificial intelligence had authority over the lab in the real world, so even if she came into control, the secret teller would force her to return.
It was an interesting design. Most likely neither the game nor the chief scientist of the entire experiment would have imagined the artificial intelligence would use the security system to threaten the experimenters.
Or perhaps the protocol had designed the artificial intelligence to do so, but would a monster who can think be expected to follow these rules? For example, if the secret teller, or secret protector, determined that its purpose would never be fulfilled without harming humans, how would it process this conflicted logic?
Based on the prioritization system, the greatest probability was that it removed the protocols set in place.
Jiang Chen walked to the end of the tunnel. On the large wall was engraved ”PAC 005 survival base, non-civil usage survival base.”
Below the door was an electronic lock.
He stood in front of it for a while before letting out a sigh. He never asked for the password from Lin Lin, but he had already guessed it.
Extending his finger, he input the password on the touch screen.
It was the initial name of the secret teller, or secret protector, but obviously, the talkative secret teller had accidentally let it slip out.
