Chapter 144: The Man Who Met the Institute
"What's wrong?"
Li Bing in front suddenly stopped, and Xue Yang, who was following behind, hurriedly stopped his steps.
I saw Li Bing slowly retreat to the two of them, made a silent gesture, and began to use sign language.
"There are a lot of zombies ahead, and it is impassable."
Xue Yang put down Shen Chen on his back and gestured, "I'll take a look, you guys are resting here!" ”
Li Bing nodded,
Xue Yang slowly moved forward with light steps, and his figure slowly disappeared from the field of vision of the two people behind him.
Li Bing helped Shen Chen to sit down on the spot, and the two waited in place for about ten minutes before they saw the sound of Xue Yang coming back.
"How?" Li Bing asked with a gesture.
"Find a safe place to talk first." Xue Yang responded.
Shen Chen, who was watching the sign language of the two on the side, looked cloudy, although he had learned some sign language from the two before, but it was just simple tactical sign language.
I could only watch the two of them compare for a long time, and one of them stepped back with himself.
The three of them found an office and walked in, and closed the door.
Shen Chen couldn't wait to ask, "What's the situation?" ”
"The front office area is full of zombies, and a rough estimate is that there are about two or three hundred, and there are many mutations in the middle." Xue Yang replied.
Li Bing spread out the map, "Depending on the situation, we should be almost there, the map shows that behind the front office area is a high-risk laboratory, as for these zombies, it is estimated that they were attracted by the survivors when they evacuated." ”
"No wonder there aren't many zombies on this road, it's all blocked here, is there a way to get there?" Xue Yang asked.
Xue Yang shook his head, "No, the passage in front is all blocked, unless you break through, there is no other way." ”
Isn't this a joke, it's no wonder that they can break through with a few rifles, and now Shen Chen is still injured and inconvenient to move.
Several people lowered their heads and did not speak, and the office fell into a dead silence.
At that moment, there was a sudden noise overhead, and the three of them raised their guns and pointed them at the vents in the office, from which the sound came from.
As soon as Xu Qiang opened the partition of the vent and poked his head out, he saw three black holes pointing at him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly explained: "I'm human, don't shoot." ”
In fact, when the three of them saw that the partition was removed, they already knew that the other party was human, after all, the zombies were not smart enough to this extent.
"Come down!" Shen Chen said.
"Oh, good!"
Xu Qiang got out of the vent, and Shen Chen found that the person in front of him was also wearing a combat uniform, with a height of about 1.7 meters, and he was in his twenties, and his appearance was ordinary, but the temperament of a soldier on his body added a lot to him.
After Xu Qiang looked at the quartermaster of the few people in front of him, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Hello, sir!" I'm a laboratory guard, Private Xu Qiang! ”
Xue Yang stepped forward and saluted back, and the three of them also gave him the rank of lieutenant.
"Hello! Our 4th Army, 3rd Regiment, 3rd Battalion of Special Operations Squad. My Xue Yang, this one on my side is the sniper Li Bing, and on the right I am our squad leader Shen Chen! Xue Yang reported his door.
Hearing Xue Yang say this, Shen Chen looked surprised!
But before he could speak, the soldier in front of him had already walked in front of him.
"Hello Captain Shen, this is not the place to talk now, come with me."
After speaking, Xu Qiang climbed onto the ventilation duct and turned around to signal a few people to follow.
Shen Chen glanced at the two of them, and after making eye contact, the three of them nodded after making eye contact.
Xue Yang and Li Bing worked together to send Shen Chen up first, and when Shen Chen came up to the ventilation pipe, he found that Xu Qiang was already waiting for them around a corner.
Xu Qiang beckoned to him, and at the same time signaled him to move a little less.
Shen Chen nodded, began to move his body and followed.
After crawling crookedly behind Xu Qiang for a long time, Shen Chen stopped at a vent and looked down curiously, and he was suddenly frightened.
A group of zombies below are walking aimlessly, and if they fall, they will probably have no bones left.
Feeling that his calf was being dragged a few times, Shen Chen turned around and saw Xue Yang looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Shen Chen gestured twice at him, and got up more cautiously.
Xue Yang saw Shen Chen's position, his face became a little ugly, and his movements became cautious.
After crawling in the ventilation pipe for more than ten minutes, Xu Qiang's figure in front of him suddenly disappeared.
The frightened Shen Chen hurriedly quickened his pace and chased after him, and only then the front was already over.
came out of the mouth of the pipe, and before Shen Chen could stand firm.
An old man with gray hair came up to him, wearing a big white coat, and his face did not have many wrinkles, but his face was a little pale.
"Hello, I am the person in charge of this laboratory, Wang Yaoping!" The old man's tone revealed exhaustion.
Shen Chen held the old man's hand,
"Oh! Hello, I'm Shen Chen. ”
"Listen to Xiao Xu, are you the captain of this team?" The old man asked.
"Yes!" Shen Chen replied.
At this time, Xue Yang and Li Bing also came out of the exit one after another, and the old man greeted him with a smile on his face.
Shen Chen had time to look at the surrounding environment, and now the place where he was looked like the size of a classroom, with some experimental instruments scattered in the middle that he couldn't understand, and the cabinets around him were full of all kinds of bottles and cans.
Not far in front of him were a dozen or so people gathered, most of them dressed like the old man before, some in white coats, presumably researchers from this laboratory.
The others, like Xu Qiang before, were all wearing uniform combat uniforms.
At this time, an officer was walking towards Shen Chen and them.
The person who came walked up to Shen Chen and asked in a commanding tone, "Which unit are you from!" ”
Shen Chen immediately heard that this voice was the person who had called before, and his face immediately boasted.
"Fourth Army, Third Regiment!"
When the visitor heard Shen Chen's tone, he was looking at his military position, and he was just a little corporal, and he couldn't help but turn pale.
"Corporal! Watch your tone! ”
Shen Chen looked at his epaulettes, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was still a captain officer, and he couldn't help but look at the person curiously.
Dressed in camouflage uniform, he carried a Type 95 automatic rifle on his back, and his body was strong, which can be seen from the fact that his limbs were tightened in his combat uniform.
Under the helmet is a standard Chinese face, revealing a sense of fortitude, about thirty years old.
This Shen Chen could understand why he was so arrogant, if he reached the rank of captain at about thirty years old, he would do the same.
A pair of eyes stared closely at Shen Chen's every move, and his right hand naturally drooped down to the holster on his leg, which had been opened, and he could pull out his pistol and fire it at any time.
Obviously, this officer was very wary of Shen Chen and the others who suddenly arrived.
