Terrifying Invasion

The wind and snow continued, the blizzard even showing signs of worsening, the large snowflakes mixed with ice pellets, carried by the gale, bombarded the exterior walls of the experimental base, creating a dense, ear-piercing sound.

Professor Yefuni tightened his robe, then turned and picked up his brewed coffee, turning a deaf ear to the irritating noise. He had been working here for over a decade and was long accustomed to the environment.

The name of the experimental base had been changed several times, and the person in charge had been replaced again and again. However, as a scientist who had been dispatched since the establishment of the experimental base, Yefuni was very familiar with everything here, including the experimental subject they had been studying for more than ten years.

The subject had crashed a high-tech spacecraft within Mao Country's borders. When it landed, it caused panic among many residents, but after the army surrounded and detained it, the government suppressed the matter. Except for some soldiers and scientists, everyone else signed a confidentiality agreement.

The environment on the snowfield was not good. It was constantly enveloped in wind and snow. Even Professor Yefuni, who was used to the climate here, sometimes couldn't help but want to leave and revisit the prosperity of the city.

But unfortunately, when you gain something, you must lose something else. In pursuit of the path of science, Professor Yefuni resolutely gave up his job and a good family life, choosing to study alien technology here.

"Professor, take a break. You still have to do an examination report for that alien tomorrow," a young man yawned and greeted Professor Yefuni.

"Okay, you go and rest first." Professor Yefuni responded, but didn't move. He understood that the cell analysis of the alien was at a critical moment. He definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, and even if he could, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

As for the young man, he was his most outstanding disciple. He, this old guy over half a century old, was fortunate to have this little guy's care in such a broken place. Professor Yefuni even considered marrying his daughter to this sensible disciple.

"Then I'll go to sleep first. Take care of yourself." The young man smiled, then took off his white coat, draped a blanket over himself, and walked out of the laboratory door.

Professor Yefuni looked at his departing figure, a smile on his face. In any case, this disciple of his was indeed his pride. Perhaps in the future, he would need him to take over his mantle.

After pondering for a moment, Professor Yefuni turned around, took another sip of hot coffee, and drove away the chill in his body.

Suddenly, a deafening alarm sounded from afar. The sudden loud noise startled Professor Yefuni, and he didn't hold the coffee cup steady, dropping it on the ground, where it shattered into pieces.

But Professor Yefuni had no time to care about it at this moment. He first looked around blankly, then suddenly remembered that this was the military district's intrusion alarm, evolved from an air raid alarm. It was the highest-level alarm that would sound when an enemy launched a terrorist attack.

It should be known that the experimental base was built inside this large military fortress, and it was the only protected base. Once the military fortress was attacked, then the other party's only target would be the experimental base where he was located.

Thinking of this, Professor Yefuni immediately stood up and walked out of the laboratory door, but before he could take a few steps, he heard the intrusion alarm coming from inside the experimental base, and in an instant, the laboratory corridor lit up with red alarm lights, illuminating the dim corridor with a scarlet glow.

"How could this be?! The fortress's alarm just sounded, and the experimental base immediately issued an alarm. Could it be that the other party broke through the military fortress's defenses in an instant?!" Professor Yefuni was horrified. He didn't have time to think much and could only return to his office and take out a pistol from the drawer.

At this moment, a team of fully armed soldiers ran past the laboratory quickly. Professor Yefuni recognized them at a glance. These soldiers were a special force dedicated to protecting the laboratory. Their hasty actions clearly indicated that the enemy had already invaded.

Seeing this, Professor Yefuni stopped a soldier and asked, "I'm the head of the laboratory department. What exactly is happening here? Who is the enemy?"

"I don't know, we're also investigating the situation." The soldier was also very anxious. He didn't seem to understand what was happening either. "The commander said that the outer fortress has been breached, and the guards are still fighting the enemy, and they told us to guard the laboratory."

Boom! Boom!

Before the soldier could finish speaking, the entire underground laboratory shook, accompanied by huge, thunder-like sounds. As a professor, Yefuni could clearly hear that this was the sound of heavy firepower, and it was his own troops' heavy weapons.

It was estimated that the enemy's firepower was very fierce, and the military fortress's guards had to take out their last resort.

"This is the highest-firepower grenade launcher. What exactly are our troops fighting?!" Professor Yefuni shouted loudly. He didn't understand. To bring out this kind of firepower, the enemy would have to have at least a division's worth of troops, but how could so many people swagger all the way here?

"I'm not sure either, Professor. You should go to the shelter as soon as possible. I have to carry out my mission." The soldier gripped his gun tightly. From his face, it could be seen that he was also very nervous. He said a word to Yefuni and then immediately chased after his team's direction.

Professor Yefuni also knew that now was not the time to dwell on these things. Fighting the enemy was the soldiers' task, not his, the scientist's. What he had to do now was to take refuge with the other professors and researchers as soon as possible.

Running through the laboratory, Professor Yefuni saw scenes of chaos everywhere. The guards were gathering and running towards the laboratory's main entrance. Some researchers who had just been awakened didn't even have time to put on their clothes and could only leave with most of the people, draped in blankets.

No one knew what was happening, only hearing the bursts of roaring sounds outside the experimental base. Professor Yefuni had only heard this kind of dense and disorganized bombing when the army was destroying weapons.

He gripped the gun in his hand tightly, seemingly wanting to use this weapon to bring himself some sense of security.

But soon, an inexplicable sense of palpitations surged from the bottom of his heart. Professor Yefuni only felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot.

He rushed out of the crowd and ran towards the dormitory where his disciple was located. Right now, he only wanted to ensure the safety of his most outstanding disciple, after all, this child was invited by him, and he regarded him as his own.

His disciple's dormitory was located on the second floor of the experimental base above ground. On the way to the dormitory, Professor Yefuni could clearly see the soldiers waiting in full battle array, and at the same time, he could feel more directly how fierce the battle was in the world above ground.

Because it was a combat phase, Professor Yefuni didn't dare to take the elevator and could only climb the stairs one floor at a time. When he came to the experimental base above ground from the underground laboratory, Professor Yefuni subconsciously approached the stairwell window, seemingly wanting to see the situation outside.

He wanted to know what the invaders' identities were and what enemies the guards were fighting.

But when he leaned against the window and looked outside through the glass, his wrinkled face instantly became horrified, and his eyes widened.

"Zombies!!!"
