Chapter 104: Human Anomaly (3rd Update, Asking for Monthly Tickets!)

A ready-made advanced research car was something Lin Xian hadn’t expected. His primary goal, of course, wasn’t to conduct research, but mainly to grow vegetables.

This wasn’t just an obsession for Lin Xian. The main reason was that under the extreme cold disaster, a long-term lack of green vegetable supply was very detrimental to health, especially when they would later travel into the ocean rail section.

Moreover, Lin Xian himself was also preparing to recycle the entire train’s water resources. Perhaps in the future, there would be air quality issues requiring an internal oxygen supply, making it very necessary to create a comprehensive water, heat, and oxygen system for the entire train.

With a castle like a mobile train, plus his mechanical ability, these things could be implemented without restraint.

Rationally speaking, what the Infinity needed most right now was definitely an upgrade in energy and weapons. But since such a car was readily available, why would he be polite?

“Not bad, thanks for the reminder.”

Lin Xian nodded with great satisfaction. At this time, Zhao Yan and the others were almost done packing.

In fact, they didn’t have any luggage to speak of, just two laptop bags and three briefcases, stuffed with portable computers and various materials they themselves deemed useful, which they held tightly in their arms after packing.

Lin Xian glanced over. “Everyone’s ready, let’s go.”

At this moment, Zhao Yan nervously approached Lin Xian and asked, “Mr. Lin, you will take us to a federal government mobile rescue point or another underground city, right? You… you won’t just leave us on the side of the road after we get out, will you?”

Outside the underground city, the tide of zombies was like a sea. If they were only rescued to the outside, it would be almost no different from staying here.

Lin Xian turned and walked away, saying, “We will pass through Yubei City and stop at the high-altitude corridor at Huanxing No. 1 Air and Space Port. You can get off there. So you’d better pray that it hasn’t fallen or that the federal government you’re looking for is there.”

As soon as he said this, the faces of Zhao Yan, Xu Wen, and Han Qiming changed drastically. They looked at Ding Junyi and found that she didn’t say anything either, but quickly followed behind Lin Xian. So they didn’t dare to say anything more and followed with their full attention.

Clang!

Dalou easily lifted the cultivation chamber onto his shoulder with one hand, holding his gun in the other, ready to set off at any time.

“Chick, you and this Director Ding follow me. Dalou will cover the rear. It’s getting dark soon, and we don’t know what will happen outside. Try not to fall behind.”

“Okay.”

Kiki put her gas mask back on, stuffed the portable computer into her coat, and then gestured to Ding Junyi to open the door.

Ding Junyi nodded and took a deep breath. At this moment, everyone’s heart was in their throat again.

Hiss~

With a soft sound, the protective door of the research hall opened again.

The moment the alloy door opened a crack, countless zombie hands frantically reached in and began to grab, and the sounds of various howls and roars were deafening.

“Ah!~”

Seeing this, the youngest, Xu Wen, immediately screamed in terror and shrank behind Zhao Yan.

Han Qiming and Zhao Yan, these researchers from the laboratory, were also scared pale and began to tremble all over when they saw this scene.

Lin Xian paid them no mind. The moment the door opened, Kiki sent out a shockwave, sending dozens of zombies and strange insects flying, splattering countless blood and limbs against the walls and corridor.

Bang bang bang!

Lin Xian opened fire to provide cover. The zombies crowding the corridor were instantly cleared out. More sounds came from the surrounding passages. He immediately shouted, “Follow me!”

Lin Xian walked at the very front, rushing directly out of the corridor. He raised his hand and directly generated a large steel door to block one side of the corridor, preventing more zombies from rushing over.

Seeing this, a trace of astonishment flashed in Ding Junyi’s eyes. In all her research on metahuman abilities, this was the first time she had seen someone who could generate steel out of thin air. She was immediately surprised.

Kiki quickly followed, rushing out without any hesitation.

Zhao Yan and the other two, as if their butts were on fire, shrank their necks and followed quickly.

The return route was already very familiar. Plus, with Ding Junyi, the team’s progress became even faster. Zhao Yan and the others were also tense on the way, afraid of falling behind.

Beep beep~ Beep beep~

Lin Xian’s watch beeped at this moment. 18:45.

It was dark.

Being inside the underground city, it was impossible to see if it was dark outside. But strangely, along with Lin Xian’s watch, the corridor lights on the 52nd sub-level also responded.

In an instant, all the lights flickered strangely. A cold, sinister aura that everyone could feel at the same time seemed to rush up from underground!

Lin Xian’s eye twitched. He looked at the dark space ahead, his expression becoming grave.

He felt that something was rapidly approaching!

“Chick!”

Lin Xian took a step forward and gestured to Kiki, telling her to slow down. He then placed the flashlight by his ear, and a bracket was quickly created to fix the flashlight there. At the same time, he freed one hand, and an electric surge began to gather in his palm.

“Ah!!!!”

A piercing female scream suddenly rang out. Lin Xian’s flashlight beam shone on a blood-red figure in the corridor. In just an instant, the blood-red figure had rushed over at high speed, pouncing at Lin Xian with two ghostly claws full of black nails.

“Lin Xian, be careful!” Before Kiki could finish her words, Lin Xian’s eyes had already narrowed. The electric surge in his hand pierced through the darkness, shining in the dark corridor.

In that instant, almost everyone saw the blood-red figure rushing over. It was actually a female zombie. Her skin seemed to have dissolved, revealing nearly rotten muscles and limbs. Her mouth was wide open, her jaw almost hanging down to her chest, looking extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, Lin Xian’s detection ability had been greatly enhanced by now. He had sensed something approaching from a great distance, so he didn’t hesitate at all and directly used the electric surge.

Pfft!

The white lightning energy flashed, instantly piercing through the female corpse’s face. At the same time, Kiki beside him grabbed with one hand, freezing the monster in mid-air.

Kiki gritted her teeth, clenched her fist, and threw with one hand. The female corpse shot out like a cannonball, crashing into an office next to them and breaking through the wall.

“What kind of zombie is this? It’s so fast!”

Kiki, wearing a gas mask, asked Lin Xian in a muffled voice.

Lin Xian frowned, not stopping his feet, and continued to hurry back. “I don’t know. The zombies in this place are completely different from the ones outside. They’re not anomalies, but they’re much more powerful than ordinary zombies.”

He was a little scared. The speed of this female corpse just now was simply astonishing, even faster than the ones they had encountered on the platform earlier.

Thump, thump.

Ding Junyi followed closely behind Kiki and Lin Xian and said in a low voice, “We tend to call this type of existence, which is different from night-walkers and is a monster mutated from humans, a human anomaly.”

“Human anomaly?” Kiki asked curiously.

“Yes, you can understand it this way: this kind of existence is a special creature among zombies that possesses metahuman abilities.”

“Are you talking about things that have degenerated?”

Ding Junyi looked at her with surprise. “You know about degeneration?”

“We know a lot.” Lin Xian walked in front, raised his hand and shot, blowing the heads off several zombies, his feet not stopping. “This kind of question is meaningless.”
