Chapter 591 - 9.61 Zombie Mutation
In the military basecamp.
Li Zhu lifted his head from the microscope when he heard a faint commotion from outside, frowning. The laboratory was already equipped with thick glass doors to begin with in order to create a conducive environment for his research. And for sounds to travel to where he was, it meant that there was a huge uproar outside!
The basecamp always had soldiers patrolling back and forth, and Li Zhu had already gotten used to them rushing around to deliver reports to the higher-ups, no matter how trifling it was. He had just wanted to immerse himself back into the research when he recalled something important.
—Wait a minute. Today... wasn’t it Commander Yang’s big operation?!
All of a sudden, an inexplicable panic seized him and he was unable to concentrate on his experiment anymore. He fumbled to put his computer on standby, took off his goggles and rushed out. As soon as he slid the door open, a shrill cry entered his ears,
"...doomed! We are all doomed!"
For a split second, Li Zhu’s mind went blank and colors drained from his face. His feet mechanically brought him to the source of the commotion, yet every single step he took was so heavy it was dragging on his heart as well. It couldn’t be... Commander Yang was so capable, he was the most powerful man in the world. How could such a person be defeated?
Along the way, paramedics in bright orange uniforms ran past him, yelling, "Make way, please make way!" They were carrying a few folded stretchers, their faces grave and solemn. Unknowingly, Li Zhu’s steps quickened and he hastily trailed along them.
No, no... How could it be? It must be some other problem, he tried to convince himself and suppress the churning restlessness. That’s right, whether it was Yang Tengfei’s team or not, nothing was certain yet!
