The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 174 Revisiting the Research Institute (3)

Lu Yuan followed Lin Yun all the way to the other side of the corridor, but the security door was locked from the inside. Under normal circumstances, security doors would never be locked. Either the researchers here locked it to avoid the zombies when the virus broke out, or the highly intelligent zombies left here deliberately locked it.

"Captain Lin, should we just open the door and go in?" Lu Yuan looked at the security door, which was scorching hot from the flames they had sprayed all the way there. He didn't know what kind of metal it was made of; although it was so hot it felt like you could roast meat, it didn't look deformed or melt at all. But that didn't stop them from rushing over, since Lu Yuan had plenty of tools in his spatial storage to open the door.

"No, there might be high-level zombies behind us." Lin Yun quickly stopped Lu Yuan. He had a bad feeling; there were definitely more terrifying zombies behind them than the ones he and Ji Lang had encountered yesterday.

"What do we do now?" After Lu Yuan and the others stopped, Zhong Qiang and the others behind them also stopped, but the zombies behind them kept coming. They burned for a long time, but the number of zombies didn't decrease at all.

"Exactly, there are just too many low-level zombies here. Is this the entire city of Beijing?" Since the outbreak of the zombie virus, Yang Xiao has killed quite a few zombies, but never this many. He even felt a little tired.

"This is terrifying. I thought there would only be a few more than yesterday." Ji Lang looked at the endless stream of zombies and retreated to Lin Yun's side by the door, letting Lu Yuan take over.

"I have a feeling there's a high-level zombie behind the door, possibly higher than your or my current level," Lin Yun said, looking at the scorching hot security door as Ji Lang approached. He and Ji Lang had been on missions, so their abilities had advanced rapidly. Before they came to Beijing, Ji Lang had just broken through to level seven, and Lin Yun was at level six. However, after yesterday, Lin Yun felt that his ability might have also broken through to level seven.

Of course, this classification of superpower levels was also formulated by the four major government bases of China, based on statistical data from the bases with a large number of superpowered individuals, excluding the South China base.

“After you recovered yesterday, I could clearly feel that you had improved. With Lu Yuan, Yang Xiao, and Zhong Qiang’s auxiliary abilities, we should be able to give it a try.” Ji Lang could also sense that there was a powerful presence behind the door, but after a preliminary assessment, he felt that they should be able to fight the zombies on the other side.

“I know, but what I’m worried about is that there’s more than one behind this…” Lin Yun said, then turned back to look at the three students who were still fighting against the low-level zombies. “After all, they are not soldiers, and all their combat experience has been accumulated in the last six months.”

"You're always worrying about so many useless things. Lu Yuan and the others aren't children anymore. How many times can you protect them in the apocalypse? They ran away on their own this time. Can you follow them the whole time?" After working together for a while, Ji Lang knew that Lin Yun was a very soft-hearted person. But the current situation didn't allow them to think of any other methods. Did they really have to sacrifice themselves and leave these three people to do it alone?

"I'm sorry, I really wasn't a good captain." Recalling his former teammates, his later teammates, and the teammates who sacrificed themselves this time, Lin Yun felt even worse.

"Cheer up." Ji Lang patted Lin Yun on the shoulder, then turned to Lu Yuan and shouted, "Lu Yuan, prepare whatever breaching tools you think are suitable. I'll count down, and you just break down the door!"

"Okay, Captain Ji!" After saying that, Lu Yuan simply put the musket back into his spatial storage. He clenched his fist, nodded to Ji Lang, and indicated that he was ready.

"Three! Two!" Ji Lang and Lin Yun stood on either side of the door. As long as Lu Yuan broke through the security door, they could deal with what was inside in time. Meanwhile, Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang continued to fight back against the low-level zombies behind them.

"one!"

As Ji Lang let out his final roar, Lu Yuan's right fist struck the security door. Thanks to the mecha's enhancement, his punch sent the entire security door flying, delivering a heavy blow to the advanced zombie behind it.

"Run first!" Seeing this, Lin Yun shouted to Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang, and the two of them rushed into the stairwell with their small muskets in hand. Lu Yuan then took out a new musket and followed closely behind.

"Lu Xiaoyuan, get me a new flintlock pistol!" Yang Xiao shouted from the front after taking only two steps. Neither he nor Zhong Qiang had offensive abilities, but fortunately, Lu Yuan's door panel had knocked out several high-level zombies. The lower-level zombies were still quite afraid of fire, so they turned the firepower up to the maximum, which scared away some of the highly intelligent zombies. However, the downside was that it was fuel-intensive; the small flintlock pistol would go out of commission after just a couple of shots.

"Here you go." Lu Yuan said, handing two new muskets to Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang.

Just as Lin Yun and Ji Lang caught up, the high-level zombie that Lu Yuan had smashed open the door rushed over, accompanied by flames and lightning strikes. It seemed that there was indeed more than one high-level zombie guarding the door.

However, Lin Yun discovered that the higher-level zombies were those with fire-type abilities. The zombie with lightning-type abilities was probably only level four, and its arm had just been sliced ​​off by the door panel that Lu Yuan had smashed over. He and Ji Lang had just used a series of skills to freeze it, and then Ji Lang shot it in the head.

The more troublesome one was the high-level fire-type zombie. Fire-type zombies are naturally very effective against Ji Lang's wind and snow-type abilities, not to mention that this zombie was at a higher level than the two of them, at least level 8.

"Ahhh, what a pity! That level four crystal!" Zhong Qiang, who was vigorously spewing fire in front, accidentally saw the fallen level four lightning crystal when he turned around, but he had no chance to turn back and pick it up now. The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt. He directly turned up the firepower and burned the zombies in front of him.

Perhaps due to Zhong Qiang's mindset, his support-type ability was activated to an incredible intensity. Lin Yun and Ji Lang suddenly felt a resonance between their own abilities and his support abilities.

"Holy crap, support-type abilities are this powerful?" Yang Xiao looked at Zhong Qiang's burst of power. He could clearly feel the support-type ability that the other party was releasing. However, he himself did not have such a burst of power. What frustrated him even more was that he did not know how to stimulate his own ability to burst. However, as long as he existed, he could still produce some support effects, so at least he was still somewhat useful.

With the help of Zhong Qiang's burst of auxiliary abilities, Ji Lang's blizzard-type ability froze the fire-type zombie. Although the freezing time was only extended slightly, it was still enough for Lin Yun to blow its head off.

Advanced zombies have much stronger defenses. Lin Yun shot it in the head twice, but it wasn't completely eliminated. It was only when Lu Yuan turned around and punched it, knocking off its head, that it finally collapsed.

"Holy crap, Lu Xiaoyuan! You've become violent!" Yang Xiao looked at the zombie head rolling on the ground and saw that Lu Yuan had actually rushed over to pick up two crystals from the ground and then ran back quickly.

"Dad Lu! Please allow me to call you Dad!" Zhong Qiang was also shocked by Lu Yuan's actions. He didn't even realize that the musket in his hand was out of fuel. Fortunately, Lin Yun reacted quickly, and a gust of wind blew the zombies that rushed up away again.
