Plop!
Bai Ye stepped forward and pulled Ning Shuang from the zombie's head, splattering foul blood.
Bai Ye had had enough of his frail body from ten years ago.
Fortunately, he had acquired the T-virus. As soon as he obtained the T-virus vaccine, he could inject it to improve his body. Moreover, the sudden appearance of zombies had given Bai Ye an idea.
Zombies were, in essence, moving corpses, and thus carried a strong stench of decay.
However, the smell wasn't that intense if one didn't get too close. The reason was simple: this was an underground base.
As an underground base, ventilation was extremely important. Since a large number of researchers worked here long-term, Umbrella Corporation's underground bases were equipped with excellent air circulation systems, naturally resulting in numerous, interconnected ventilation ducts.
Bai Ye thought as he quickly entered the restroom, found the ventilation duct opening, and removed the grate. He tested it, and the space was just enough for him to crawl through.
Twisting his body, Bai Ye began to climb through the ventilation ducts.
At each grate of a ventilation duct, Bai Ye would look down to confirm his location before continuing.
"Pass through the office area quickly, the virus storage room is behind it."
Bai Ye took a deep breath, then withdrew his gaze and continued crawling forward. Just then, Bai Ye suddenly felt something he had touched.
Looking down, Bai Ye found a pool of viscous liquid in his hand, with a faint,腥臭 smell.
"No way!"
Bai Ye felt a sense of foreboding.
The next moment, a whimpering sound came from ahead in the ventilation duct.
"Alright!" Bai Ye sighed, "It seems that bad luck truly finds a way, no matter how much you try to stop it!"
Just ahead of Bai Ye, at a bend in the ventilation duct, a hound slowly emerged.
The hound was naturally not alive but had died long ago. Due to viral infection, it had become a zombie dog. Its body was bare, all its fur gone, and a piece was missing, revealing bone with scraps of flesh still attached.
Man and dog stared at each other for half a second. The zombie dog suddenly began to run, charging towards Bai Ye.
"Ning Shuang, Sword Control!"
The Ning Shuang sword, floating in front of Bai Ye, immediately transformed into a silver light and flew forward, piercing the zombie dog's head.
The zombie dog let out a howl, then repeatedly slammed against the duct walls, but soon fell silent.
However, just as Bai Ye was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the silent zombie dog began to move forward again.
How could this be?
Bai Ye was stunned. After its head was pierced, zombies shouldn't be able to move. Then, Bai Ye looked closely. The zombie dog's limbs were not moving; its body was being pushed by something, continuing to advance.
Bai Ye immediately understood…
There was more than one zombie dog!
The zombie dogs behind were still running forward, pushing the corpse.
"Ning Shuang!"
Bai Ye quickly called out, but the Ning Shuang sword, still stuck in the zombie dog's head, vibrated a few times and did not fly back.
The Ning Shuang sword was stuck!
"Is this what they call 'misfortunes never come singly'?"
Bai Ye cursed, drew his pistol, and pulled the trigger towards the front.
Bang, bang, bang…
Gunshots rang out continuously, and blood holes appeared on the zombie dog's corpse, spraying blackish blood.
But…
It was useless!
The bullets were insufficient to penetrate the corpse and hit the zombie dogs behind, and even if they could penetrate, they might not hit the head.
At this very moment…
The corpse was finally pushed to Bai Ye's front.
The ventilation duct could barely accommodate Bai Ye crawling. In this situation, Bai Ye couldn't turn around at all and could only reach out to push the corpse.
And in that instant…
A dog bark, and from behind the corpse, a second zombie dog suddenly poked its head out and lunged at Bai Ye's wrist.
Bai Ye was also quick-handed. He raised his right hand and smashed the zombie dog's head with the butt of his gun, cracking it open.
But it was only for a moment. The zombie dog twisted its head back, persistently preparing to tear at Bai Ye again.
"Ice Barrier!"
As Bai Ye shouted, the Ning Shuang sword, still embedded in the zombie dog's head, suddenly emitted a silvery-white glow. Immediately, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a large amount of frost mist appeared, freezing the surroundings. An ice wall, fitting snugly against the ventilation duct, materialized in front of Bai Ye.
Bang, bang, bang…
The zombie dogs behind, crossing over their companion's corpse, continuously slammed against the ice wall, making dull thuds.
"There's no other way!"
Bai Ye took a deep breath. It was difficult to continue advancing in the ventilation duct.
The ice wall began to grow larger, causing the ventilation duct to warp. Finally, with a "boom," the ventilation duct completely exploded.
Bai Ye fell from the aerial duct.
The moment he landed, a circle of zombies closed in on him.
Bai Ye's face showed little surprise. The commotion in the ventilation duct would surely attract the zombies in this area.
Bai Ye quickly got up, raised his pistol, and decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang…
At such close range, Bai Ye couldn't possibly miss. With the gunshots, the zombies fell one after another.
After emptying his magazine, Bai Ye quickly leaped onto a table, creating distance while rapidly reloading.
At the same time, the Ning Shuang sword transformed back into a flying sword from the ice wall.
"Sword Illusion Frost Dance!"
Sword Illusion Frost Dance: Transforms the sword into frost, randomly inflicting freezing, frostbite, and slow effects on targets within a 3-meter radius.
Under Bai Ye's command, the Ning Shuang sword quickly turned into frost and descended into the zombie horde, followed by an explosion of silvery-white frost.
The surrounding zombies were instantly covered in silvery-white frost, their bodies freezing, and their movements slowing down.
Bang, bang, bang…
Bai Ye seized the opportunity, raised his pistol, and continuously pulled the trigger.
Blood splattered from the zombies' heads, and with the gunshots, they fell one by one.
But at this moment…
With a "crack!"
From above Bai Ye, a ventilation duct grate suddenly fell. Then, a zombie dog leaped down and pounced on Bai Ye.
Pushing Bai Ye to the ground, the zombie dog opened its mouth and lunged at Bai Ye's head. Fortunately, Bai Ye reacted quickly, dodging his head. The zombie dog bit into the ground instead.
Then…
Sizzle!
A piercing sound of electricity suddenly rang out!
