Chapter 140: Zombie Note (9)
Before Doomsday arrived, the types of equipment in the laboratory were changed and it was all brand new. There were also abundant supplies inside the laboratory.
Ming Shu witnessed how the geniuses made a powerful explosive out of random supplies.
You would never know what they could create if you gave them a laboratory.

If you all are so smart, why can’t you kill the crazy murderer?
This bunch of geniuses had been scare off by the impenetrable body of the murderer. They had tried to kill him but were unsuccessful.
The resources they had at their last location were limited. If they were in a laboratory at that time, they were confident they could have killed the murderer.
Now with Ning Le’s help, the murderer’s death could almost be guaranteed.
“If I am not back after some time, you can proceed to the side where you heard the gunshots.” Ning Le took her items and said this to the students.
She looked at Ming Shu after she finished speaking and wanted to ask for her help to bring the students over. However, she remembered what Ming Shu did and gave up on this thought.
“Why not go together?” one of the male students felt apologetic and suggested.
“There is no need.” Ning Le rejected him directly.
Of course, she had to reject him. She couldn’t let anyone know what tricks she had up her sleeve. Also, it was easier to act alone.
Ning Le brought the items that they made and left the laboratory.
The people in the laboratory stood around nervously. They didn’t even dare to blink their eyes as they were afraid that they would miss any sounds.
The angry shouts of the murderer grew nearer and then moved further away. The commotion outside could be heard from time to time before it disappeared again after a while.
The distant gunshots slowly disappeared, too.
Ming Shu calculated the number of bullets Captain Fan wasted. After the exchange of fire just now, their bullets would run out even if they had help from other people.
She prepared to go out and find them.
“What are you doing?” Ming Shu just reached the door and was pushed away by a female student, Jia. “Are you planning to kill us by opening the door now?”
Although Ming Shu helped them just now, their hatred toward her would not dissipate easily.
“It is very safe outside.” Why would I go out if I didn’t know that it’s safe? I am not stupid.
“How can you be sure?” The female student didn’t believe Ming Shu.
Ming Shu took the flashlight and shined it on her face. She gave a toothy grin and said clearly and slowly, “Why don’t you be magnanimous and let me out to go and die?”
Jia immediately shut up.
Ming Shu squeezed past Jia and opened the laboratory door. She walked out brazenly. It was indeed safe outside; the murderer was gone and there weren’t any gunshots. Only her footsteps could be heard.
Da da da. Ming Shu started to walk away.
…
The science department was incredibly huge and there were zombies all around. Ming Shu saw quite a few throughout her journey.
The students followed behind her, keeping their distance and not talking to her.
Ming Shu found a nice weapon in a storeroom—a javelin.
This would allow her to kill the zombies more easily and not have to worry about dirtying her clothes, too.
Swoosh—
Ming Shu kicked the zombie that she just killed down the building and continued forward. The location where the gunshots came from should be around here.
Ming Shu knocked against the walls in front of her. It was pitch black.
“Roar!”
“Be careful!” the students behind her shouted instinctively.
Ming Shu didn’t turn around and just struck her javelin backward, right into the head of the zombie.
“…” That was incredible , the students thought.
She didn’t even look.
Their surroundings were filled with the deep roars of zombies. There seemed to be quite a number of them, but they were not attacking.
Ming Shu retracted her javelin and took out her flashlight to illuminate the surroundings. There were zombies all around them. However, they were blocked by a metal gate.
“So… so many zombies.”
“Don’t be afraid, they are locked up. Let’s move first.” The guys held onto the girls and inched toward Ming Shu.
At first, they wanted to wait for Ning Le at the laboratory. However, what happened if Ning Le never came back? They could not rely on Ning Le to save them.
Thus, they decided to follow this lady, who seemed to be quite powerful. It was a better option compared to staying in the laboratory alone.
Ming Shu shined the flashlight on them. The students didn’t dare to make any more noise and slowly moved over.
“Roar!”
Clatter!
The zombies had smelled the humans and charged at the metal gates. The lock on the gate started to shake.
“Ahhhhh—!”
“Don’t shout.” A male student immediately covered the girl’s mouth and half dragged her past the metal gates, reaching Ming Shu.
Tututu—
Gunshots sounded again. It came from beside Ming Shu. A few shadows appeared from the end of the corridor and ran over. They saw people standing and instantly aimed their guns at them.
“Don’t shoot,” one of the students shouted instantly.
If they didn’t make a sound, the other party might think that they were zombies and shoot them.
A group of people ran over and waved at the students. “Run, run away immediately.”
“Why are you here?” Captain Fan was among these people as well. He was shocked when he saw Ming Shu, but didn’t have the time to say much. “Let’s retreat first.”
They had somehow provoked a bunch of zombies who were pushing their way in from the corridor. It was frightening enough just looking at them.
They retreated upstairs and made use of the metal gates on the stairwell to temporarily impede the zombies.
They continued their way up to the roof and blocked the door of the roof with items they found. Only then did they dare to breathe easy.
The group was clearly segmented. The students were on one side, shivering in fear. Captain Fan and Ming Shu were standing together in the middle and the other four men stood on their other side.
Ming Shu didn’t see the guy with a mole. He was most probably dead.
The other four men were from a different army squad. Captain Fan met then when he was coming in and they fought together against the zombies.
“Why are you here?” Captain Fan asked Ming Shu as he checked his bullets.
Ming Shu lowered her head and stared at the flashlight. She jokingly replied, “The weather seemed good, suitable for a jog.”
“…” What do you mean by the weather is good? Captain Fan thought. Are the zombies your pets?
The captain from the other team walked over, his face full of worry. “Captain Fan, how many bullets are you left with? We have exhausted all our ammo.”
Captain Fan showed him his ammo and gave a wry smile. “This is all I have left.”
The other captain sighed. “This puts us in a dire situation.”
“Let’s recuperate first and then discuss further plans. There is always a way out,” Captain Fan replied.
The other captain nodded his head and returned to his team. They took out what was left of their food supplies and distributed some to the students.
Rumble—
A huge explosion shook the entire building.
Flames started to rise from afar and only to disappear in a second.
Silence ensued before it was replaced by the howls of zombies.
