Chapter 159: Full Sweep (2/2)
The first possibility was that the Variant Zombie attacked these players, and then feasted on their brains. The way it could’ve entered would be through the ventilation pipes near the rooftop then it might have been attracted by all the noise by the riverbank and traveled elsewhere by swimming.
The other possibility was that after these people started to kill one another, the Variant Zombie took the opportunity to feast on their brain and still remained on this island and hid in the ventilation pipes. It’s just that Yin He and others hadn’t discovered it yet.
As for the possibility of the Variant Zombie hiding in the ventilation pipe, that wasn’t too high.
Liu Gan had not found something that was considered too far beyond the scope of science and technology, it seemed that all types of Variant Zombies could be explained from a biochemical point of view.
If this Variant Zombie was still hidden within the main building, then all these people were in danger, so it’s best if they found out how this Variant Zombie had entered and where it might be.
There was someone standing on the wall and subconsciously pressed the wall switch. No one expected the corner lights in the lobby to light up, and especially not the chandelier in the middle of the lobby. Seems like this was an emergency light, that was powered by batteries or an external power supply.
When the light illuminated the room, it gave the team members a scare. It’s been a long while, since they’d seen powered lights. After they realized what was going on, the team members finally settled down. With the light from the lamps being so useful, Liu Gan gave a recount of how many players were left.
Now the team had only 13 people.
The seven people from the player's camp that remained were Liu Gan, Zhang ShengLi, Wang DeCheng, Han GuangMing, Martial Thunder, who was good at making equipments, and Zhao Meng, who was good at unlocking and Doctor Lee Miao; The local survivors had five people that remained. Expert Zhou MingLiang, shopkeeper and retired Javelin thrower Zhang Hua, hospital worker Xu ChangHui, as well as the couple HuJun and Zhou JingJing.
Lastly, it was the android Yin He.
Needless to say these five local survivors were definitely strong. Perhaps, after their survival in the hospital required them to have more wisdom than these younger players. Since the beginning, the amount that followed Liu Gan was five and five remained by his side.
“Since we are now a group of thirteen. Let’s split into three groups. I will lead a group, Yin He will lead another and Zhang ShengLi will lead the last group. Separate to search the entire building. Once you discover any signs of abnormality, call others immediately for support. Be sure to carry out a full sweep and don’t let any small details slip by. All this precaution was necessary to keep the island safe.” Liu Gan explained the duties and split up the group.
To ensure that the island's security is one part of the agenda, the other hand, the Yin He has not found the secret laboratory yet. Seems like this secret entrance is very hidden, so unless there was a detailed search, it would be impossible to find.
Unless the secret laboratory is not on the island, otherwise the entrance should be here. On top of that, all evidence points to the fact that this laboratory should be on the island.
In this two-story building, other than the room that Liu Gan broke into by entering through the window. In the reception lobby there were other rooms. Pushing open the doors to these rooms, it also seemed like these rooms weren’t like the ones in a laboratory, but the ones from a hotel room.
The two-story building wasn’t that large like a mansion, but it wasn’t small at all. After ten minutes of searching, the three groups split up to search the upper and lower floors. Even the rooftop was searched. They were able to confirm that there weren’t any regular or variant zombies on the premise. They found the stairway to the rooftop was open, so if the variant zombie came in and left through the rooftop door it would explain why all the windows were still intact and the doors are locked from the inside.
