Chapter 7: Under the Tunnel

After Matt also climbed up the pipe, Kaplan began to climb upwards. At this time, the zombies had completely crowded around Ren and Kaplan, and the nearest zombie was not even a meter away from them.

Because the number of zombies is too much, Wren can't take care of it alone. Finally, a zombie came to the shelf while she was dealing with the same kind on the other side, and bit Kaplan's calf as she climbed up.

Kaplan immediately screamed in pain. Wren turned around and raised his hand and shot the zombie in the eyebrow. Wang Ji and the others on the pipeline hurriedly pulled Kaplan up. But another zombie next to him took the opportunity to bite Wren's wrist. Wren let out a cry of pain and dropped the gun in his hand.

Wren knocked down the zombie that was biting him with a punch, then pushed the zombies around him away with a series of kicks, leaned over and picked up the pistol that fell to the ground. But as soon as she raised her gun, she saw JD standing in front of her with a bloodied face.

Facing his former comrades-in-arms, Wren couldn't help but hesitate. But she hesitated, but the other party didn't hesitate, only to see JD pounce forward and bite her neck. The bite brought Wren to his senses, and she screamed in pain and elbowed JD away. Then she raised her gun again. This time, she didn't hesitate to send JD to eternal sleep.

At this time, Kaplan, who had already climbed the pipe, also hurriedly took out his gun and knocked down the zombies around Wren one by one. With Kaplan's cover, Wren can finally climb up undisturbed. Alice and Matt hurriedly grabbed her hand and pulled it up. With the help of everyone, Wren finally climbed the pipe as well.

Everyone sat on the pipes, watching with trepidation at the zombies that filled the tunnels below.

Kaplan said in despair, "She's right, we're all going to die here." ”

This is what Kaplan said to him when he first turned off the Red Queen.

"Nope." Alice retorted, "We'll get out." All together. ”

Her tone was unusually firm, as if everything she said was bound to come true. Kaplan looked at her determined gaze, and couldn't help but be infected by her will, and rekindled the hope of life.

Then the crowd started moving forward again on the pipe. The zombies followed the crowd below.

Because the pipe was only about half a meter high from the top of the tunnel, the crowd had to crawl forward. And because the width of the tunnel is limited, everyone can only climb forward in a long snake formation. The order in which everyone is arranged, from top to bottom, is Matt, Spence, Wren, Alice, Wang Ji, and Kaplan.

After climbing some distance along the pipe, they came to a shaft. The shaft is cylindrical in shape and has a diameter of about 10 meters. The pipes were suspended in the air in the shaft and suspended from the surrounding walls with wire ropes.

The height of the shaft is extremely high, enough for a person to stand on the pipe. So the crowd got up and walked in order to speed up their march.

The distance of ten meters is not long, but it is not short. Matt, who was at the front, quickly made it through this section of the road and reached the opposite side of the shaft. On the opposite side of the shaft is a hollow built in the wall of the shaft, the entrance of which is covered by a layer of barbed wire. Matt lifted his foot and kicked the barbed wire down, and walked in first, followed by Spinner, who quickly entered the hole.

Then there is the female mercenary team member Renne, who has been injured many times before, and the influence of the virus in her body, so her movement speed is a little slow. She didn't follow Spence in front of her, but was about two meters behind.

Two meters was not too far, and Rennes was soon the man who had covered the distance. But just as she was entering the hole, she suddenly heard a loud bang behind her, and when she looked back, she saw that the pipe she had just walked behind had been broken in two and was hanging on the ground.

It turned out that I don't know if it was because there were too many people standing on the pipeline, which was beyond the load-bearing range, or because of the aging of the components, a wire rope of the suspended pipeline suddenly fell off the wall, causing the pipeline to break and collapse from the middle. I saw that one end of the broken pipe was connected to the hole, and the other end fell to the ground. Alice, Wang, and Kaplan, who were still on the pipe, all leaned over and hugged the pipe so that they wouldn't fall off.

This sudden change made the zombies around them go crazy, and they all began to climb up the pipes.

"Hurry up."

Seeing the danger faced by the three of them, Wren hurriedly shouted.

Matt and Speyen, who were walking in front, quickly turned around when they heard the voice coming from behind, and when they saw the condition of Wang Ji and the others, they also shouted, "Hurry up." "It's going to collapse."

Alice, Wang, and Kaplan also knew that this place was not suitable for long, and hurriedly climbed up. Alice herself was only one step away from the entrance of the cave, and with the help of Matt and Speyen, she quickly climbed up.

Wang Jian followed Alice and climbed up, but just as he was about to climb to the end, he suddenly felt the pipe under him sink downward. It turned out that the end of the pipe connected to the hole was finally broken overwhelmed. The entire pipe suddenly fell downward.

Wang Yu screamed "not good" in his heart, and rushed forward, and at the last moment, hooked the edge of the hole with his fingers.

The collapse of the pipe made the zombies around him more and more crazy, but he saw a group of zombies gathered at the entrance of the cave and pulled Wang Ji's legs down.

Wang Jian struggled to climb up, and kicked the zombies gathered around him. And Matt, Span and others on top also hurriedly grabbed his arm and pulled him up.

Although the situation Wang Ji faced was very crisis, he did not completely fall into the zombie group after all, and he was still able to get out of danger after all. But there is another person who is not so lucky, and he is Kaplan who is behind Wang Ji.

Kaplan was a little inconvenient because he was bitten by a zombie in the calf before, and he was not like Wang Ji who was only one step away from the finish line, and there was still some distance in between. So when the pipe fell, he was completely unable to resist and fell below with the pipe. Faced with the "food" that fell in front of them, the zombies immediately howled and pounced.

Alice, who was in the cave, noticed Kaplan's condition and exclaimed, "Kaplan! Then she said to Wren next to her, "Help him, what are you waiting for?" ”

But under the influence of the virus, Wren's vision has begun to blur. I saw her raise her gun and say anxiously: "I can't concentrate!" I can't see clearly! ”

At this time, the situation was extremely urgent, and Alice snatched the gun from Wren's hand and fired at the zombies lying on Kaplan's body.

But there are too many zombies down there, and Alice's pistol alone can't handle them. As soon as Alice kills a zombie, another zombie is added to its place. Zombies kept biting Kaplan's face, legs, and arms, and Kaplan struggled and screamed.

Alice kept firing, but it didn't help. Kaplan's screams grew quieter and quieter, until he was silent at all.

At this time, Wang Jian had already climbed up to the entrance of the cave with the help of Matt and Spinner. Everyone stared at the tragedy that happened below, and they all showed expressions that could not bear to look at it. For a moment, everyone was immersed in the grief of losing Kaplan.

"Guys, let's get out of here, we don't have time."

After waiting for a while, Spin spoke first.

The people also knew that he was telling the truth, so they all pressed down the grief in their hearts, turned and walked towards the cave. Because the entrance of the cave was suspended on the wall of the well, the zombies could not climb up, and everyone got rid of the zombies' tracking for a while.

After Wang Wei and the others followed the passage in the cave for a while, they found a ladder leading to the hive above. Climbing up the ladder, pushing open the lid above, and carefully checking that there were no zombies around, the group returned to the hive.

"Gross."

Suddenly, Wren was leaning against the wall and began to vomit.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked as she approached Wren and patted her on the back. Then she turned around and said to Wang Ji, Matt, and Spinner: "We must find the antivenom." ”

"Do you know where the serum is?" Span asks a very real question.

Originally, the Red Queen had marked the room where the serum was placed on the electronic map, but Kaplan, who held the map, had already died in the tunnel below, and the map was lost. Without a map, they didn't know where to go to find the serum. (Unbeknownst to Alice and the others, the Red Queen marks the location of the virus before it was stolen.) Even if the map hadn't been lost, all they would have found would have been an empty room. The Red Queen had no intention of letting everyone out of the hive alive. )

"But......" Alice still wants to convince everyone to go find the serum together.

But Wren, who had stopped vomiting, interrupted her and said, "Let's get out of here first." We're running out of time. ”

Alice knew Wren was right, and it had been less than 20 minutes since the hive was closed. Although there is still a little surplus time from here to the exit, it is not enough to search for something that does not know the exact location.

The group cautiously groped their way in the direction of the exit, Alice at the front with a gun, Wang Ji at the end of the line, and Matt and Spin in the center of the line with Wren on his back. Under the influence of the virus, Wren was already too weak to walk on his own.

Suddenly, Alice stopped at an intersection, looked around, and walked to a nearby lab.

Except for Wang Ji, who knew that it was Alice recovering her memory, the other three felt a little inexplicable about Alice's actions.

"Are you alright?" Matt asked Alice.

But Alice turned a deaf ear to Matt's inquiry, peering through the glass walls of the lab while muttering something to her mouth.

Matt walked up to Alice, patted her on the shoulder and shouted, "Hey." ”

Alice turned her head sharply and said, "The blue is the virus, and the green is the antibody." ”

"What are you talking about?" Matt asked curiously.

"Here." Alice said, "The antivenom is here. ”

Then she said to Wren, "You'll be fine." He excitedly ran to a fork in the road next to him.

Hearing this good news, Matt and the others were also happy. Especially Wren, who thought that he would not be able to find an antidote, but he didn't expect it to suddenly become clear again. So, everyone hurriedly followed.
