Chapter 754 – Chaos

A guard stood still, staring with some confusion in the direction of the Laboratory Building.

Because the Experimental Group members had requested assistance, the door, which should have been tightly closed, now had a dark crack in it.

But as the guard turned around, he vaguely felt a gaze on him.

Was there someone behind the door? And had that person just been observing them from the gap?

“Was it those two? Or someone from the Experimental Group?” The guard frowned.

He hadn’t considered any other possibilities. They had gathered together earlier, but the hall was empty and there was no way anyone could have snuck in without them noticing.

Moreover, all the Niepan members would receive a warning and wouldn’t recklessly come to this place.

However, just as the guard was about to go over and check, the gap in the door suddenly wobbled.

Immediately following that, with a soft creaking sound, the door slowly opened wider.

The guard kept his eyes fixed on it, watching the gap gradually enlarge.

This scene felt odd to him; why would anyone open the door entirely just to step out?

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

As soon as the door fully opened, a patch of darkness appeared in the guard’s line of sight.

He squinted, trying to see what was inside.

A few seconds later, he vaguely heard footsteps, and a shadowy figure began to emerge from the darkness.

Not just one, but many figures…

“What’s going on?” The guard was taken aback.

When the leading figure appeared fully at the door, suddenly looking up, the guard’s expression changed abruptly.

He felt weak all over and instinctively reached for his gun.

“Roar!”

A beastlike roar echoed through the entire hall!

The silence of the Niepan headquarters was shattered!

In a survivor camp with many superhumans and strong firepower, dozens of zombies wouldn’t pose much of a problem.

But when these zombies burst out from within, it was a completely different issue.

At this time, it was still the middle of the night, and many people had no idea what was happening as they woke from their sleep.

And just crawling out of bed, Captain Song was already on the verge of going crazy.

Zombie attack? But where exactly did these zombies come from?!

The Experimental Group? But weren’t the Experimental Group’s zombies always securely contained?

However, there’s no time to worry about the cause now. The priority is how to handle the situation!

These zombies arrived suddenly and, more terrifyingly, with incredible agility!

After swiftly taking down the first group of guards, they scattered throughout the entire headquarters.

Smoke quickly began to billow from some areas, and many people were forced to rush out of their rooms.

Most of the guards were urgently dispatched to protect the senior management, while the remaining guards had to face zombies wielding guns!

At first, Captain Song thought he had misheard.

Zombies wielding guns? This had to be a joke!

But as the gunfire continued, Captain Song’s face darkened.

This was a group of zombies that were organized, had a plan, and could shoot!

He could hardly believe it himself, but the zombies were clearly behaving unusually!

The only explanation was that these zombies had undergone various modifications by the Experimental Group and could no longer be judged by the standards of common zombies.

Captain Song recalled a report from a guard: “Thankfully, their aim is terrible…”

What kind of blessing is that?! Their aim might be poor, but their agility far surpasses that of humans!

Moreover, for some reason, they were deliberately avoiding the heavily fortified points!

Was that just a coincidence?!

The guards couldn’t take them down quickly, and everyone was forced to flee from their rooms.

Every face wore the same expression: What on earth is going on?!

Called in for questioning by the senior management, Captain Song was just as confused.

He didn’t know either!

“Hurry and rescue the Deputy Team Leader of the Experimental Group!”

This was the first urgent order issued by the Big Boss after being safely secured.

Leading the team, of course, was Captain Song, but he couldn’t muster any more guards.

As he rushed towards the Dormitory Building, it was already in chaos inside.

Many people had already run downstairs, and at that moment, Ling Mo’s main body shouldered his backpack and gently opened the door.

But the instant the door swung open, he froze.

At the doorway, two people were in a standoff…

Mu Chen had a knife pressed against the other person’s neck, while the other person’s gun was pointed at his abdomen.

Fortunately, they lived in a relatively secluded corner, and with a large number of superhumans out on missions, this floor was completely deserted.

The one holding the gun was a woman. When she heard the door open, her expression became panicked, and now she was looking at Ling Mo in surprise.

“Ling-Ge, you came… just in time…” Mu Chen’s movements were strenuous, and his face reddened as he spoke.

The woman bit her lip, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

But the next second, she suddenly felt dizzy, and when she regained her senses, her hands were empty.

Even Mu Chen hadn’t reacted in time; he just saw Ling Mo extend his hand and directly take the gun from the woman’s hand.

At that moment, his whole body tensed up, considering the gun had been pointed at him!

Could you give me a heads-up?!

Ignoring Mu Chen’s look, Ling Mo unceremoniously pointed the gun at the woman’s head and asked, “Why is it you again? What are you doing at my door with a gun?”

When he and Mu Chen had first entered Niepan headquarters, this woman had been the one to use psychic power to probe him.

Although he had only seen her from a distance, Ling Mo recognized her instantly.

The woman remained silent, her expression becoming increasingly complex.

She had sensed an unusual psychic fluctuation in the middle of the night and stepped out to investigate, following the fluctuation to Ling Mo’s door.

Unfortunately, before she could do anything, Mu Chen, who had been keeping watch from the next room, suddenly rushed out.

As a result, she was restrained and now personally caught by Ling Mo.

The woman’s thoughts became peculiar; if the headquarters hadn’t been in turmoil, she would definitely have questioned them.

But now…

“I’m just taking a walk,” the woman said, pursing her lips.

She didn’t expect Ling Mo to believe her, but she could continue to make up excuses.

Ling Mo just stared at her, thought for a moment, and then gave Mu Chen a look.

Mu Chen understood immediately, nodded, and knocked her unconscious.

The woman didn’t even make a sound before her eyes rolled back and she went limp.

“Did you do this?” Mu Chen asked as he set the woman down.

The commotion downstairs was loud, with flames visible in many places, signaling that something big was happening.

“I knew you weren’t sneaking around!” Mu Chen said angrily.

He had no idea what was going on, only that the headquarters had suddenly fallen into chaos.

“Alright, let’s go,” Ling Mo said, glancing at the woman again. “Drag her along.”

“Why me…” Mu Chen grumbled, suddenly looking at the door behind Ling Mo. His face changed instantly. “Damn, you set a fire here too!”

“You set one too,” Ling Mo replied matter-of-factly.

There weren’t many people in the Dormitory Building, with most of them observing the commotion downstairs.

Although these superhumans had strong combat abilities, with bullets flying outside and the chaos everywhere, few would recklessly go out.

Captain Song had just reached the entrance when he heard a shout from above: “Fire! Run!”

With that shout, the people below panicked.

A few individuals ran past Captain Song, looking up at the building.

“Damn! It’s smoking!”

“It really is on fire!”

Hearing these exclamations, the crowd gathered below was momentarily stunned and then began to scatter outside.

In the darkness, Captain Song saw numerous figures fleeing but couldn’t get them to stop.

With fires breaking out everywhere, the core area was no longer safe, and the only option was to escape to the open ground outside.

“Damn! This place is on fire too!”

At this point, Ling Mo and Mu Chen also ran down from upstairs, one carrying a backpack, the other dragging the woman, making them quite conspicuous.

Captain Song squeezed through the crowd and immediately spotted the two.

“These two oddballs even brought their luggage!”

He was deeply impressed by Mu Chen’s performance and quickly made his way over, blocking their path.

“Don’t rush off, come with me to rescue people! I’ll count it toward your contribution points!”
