Zombie invasion!?

How could this be!

Professor Yefuni's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. How could this bizarre creature, which only existed in movies and TV shows, possibly appear in the real world?

But when he saw the hellish scene outside, "zombie invasion" was the only description he could think of. He personally witnessed a soldier he had just been talking to being tackled to the ground by another person in military uniform. In the next moment, the soldier's throat was torn open amidst screams.

Blood spurted out, splattering on the snow and dyeing it scarlet. Immediately afterward, a group of special forces opened fire, turning the zombie and the young soldier with the torn throat into sieves.

It was as if the whole world had gone mad. The pungent smell of blood even seeped in through the cracks in the window, filling the air around Professor Yefuni. He covered his mouth, trying not to scream.

He bit down hard on his finger. The sharp pain calmed Professor Yefuni down. He looked at the hellish scene outside, his brain working at top speed, trying to understand the whole story.

"Could it be alien technology? The spaceship carried an alien virus, or perhaps the alien mutated after being infected with Earth's viruses, leading to the emergence of a new type of virus that spread rapidly..."

His cloudy eyes grew brighter and brighter. Professor Yefuni felt that he had grasped the key to the problem.

"Everything comes from that alien. The original viruses in its body mutated with the viruses on Earth, resulting in microorganisms similar to the zombie virus. And those things are extremely contagious and have an incubation period, which led to the sudden outbreak of this disaster."

"Yes, yes, that's how it happened. I, I have to quickly think of a solution..."

Professor Yefuni muttered, trembling. He licked his dry lips and quickly came up with a solution. "If it's an alien virus, then the alien must have pathogens in its body. As long as we can test that sample, we can develop a special drug and solve this disaster."

Suddenly, a violent explosion rang out not far from the window, making a deafening noise. This explosion was even closer than the previous rumbling sounds. The special glass finally couldn't withstand it and shattered into pieces. The entire laboratory base was shaking violently.

The huge fire illuminated half the sky and startled Professor Yefuni. He seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around. With the light from the fire coming in through the window, Professor Yefuni was surprised to find that behind him, his most prized student was walking towards him step by step.

No, that wasn't his student!

The young man's originally handsome face was now abnormally pale. Black veins like spiderwebs covered his body, making him look extremely ferocious. His mouth was open, saliva dripping onto the ground, and his eyes were covered in scarlet, showing no trace of humanity.

"No! Don't come any closer!" Professor Yefuni retreated in horror. Nothing was more despairing than watching his most outstanding student turn into a zombie.

"...Pro...fessor!" The other party opened his mouth wide, countless blood flowing out. He did not stop moving forward despite Professor Yefuni's threat.

Pong! Pongpong!

Professor Yefuni didn't hesitate at all. He pulled out his pistol and fired several shots. The crisp gunshots were quickly covered by the sound of gunfire outside, not attracting anyone's attention.

The professor's student staggered back several steps and finally collapsed on the stairs.

"I'm sorry, it's all the teacher's fault..." Seeing the other party raise his hand again, Professor Yefuni quickly fired another shot into his head. Although he couldn't be sure what the principle of this zombie virus was, a headshot was definitely effective.

Because no matter what virus it was, it needed the brain to control the body. If the brain was blown up, then this body could no longer stand up.

"I still have things I must do." Shaking his head, Professor Yefuni forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart. He didn't dare to think about it in detail now, because just now, he had personally killed his student. This alone would drive him crazy.

But he knew that he absolutely couldn't let his thoughts run wild now. To solve this disaster, he had to find the alien as soon as possible and test its blood to find a vaccine for the zombie virus.

Running back, because he was too scared, the old professor accidentally tripped and fell. When he returned to the first floor of the laboratory base, he saw the special forces guarding the base.

The professional soldiers were hiding behind cover, the muzzles of their guns constantly firing bullets, knocking down the humanoid monsters hidden in the wind and snow one by one.

"Don't let any enemies rush over! Everyone hold the line, kill all targets that approach here, even if the other party is one of our own, a normal person, you must not let them get close!"

The commander's loud shout echoed in the trenches. Listening to the rumbling outside, Professor Yefuni even vaguely heard the sound of tank fire. This was a terrifying scene he could never have imagined in his life.

The special forces soldiers continued to fire, spraying fire at something outside. The intense firepower network made anything that tried to approach this laboratory base torn to pieces.

"They're everywhere!" A soldier exclaimed. His eyes were filled with fear. He didn't know where these things came from, and he didn't even dare to think about what would happen after the monsters broke through the defense line.

"Stop talking nonsense, hold your ground! As long as we hold this place, those monsters won't be able to get through!" The commander roared, stabilizing the soldiers' restless hearts, but his trembling voice betrayed his uneasy heart at this moment.

Professor Yefuni withdrew his gaze and rushed straight to the underground laboratory. He knew that he was now racing against time. If he couldn't create a vaccine before the laboratory base was breached, everyone in the base would die!

But when he returned to the underground laboratory, he was surprised to find that the situation below was even worse.

Fire!

There were flames everywhere. The heat wave hit his face, forcing Professor Yefuni to stop.

He had never experienced such a desperate thing. He personally saw a researcher running wildly with flames all over his body, and then being shot down by another professor. There were flames and thick smoke everywhere. If the outside was hell on earth, then the underground laboratory had become like purgatory.

No one knew how the fire started, and no one knew how all this happened. Everyone was crazy. They didn't even have time to stop and think, only thinking about escaping this doomed laboratory base as soon as possible.

Professor Yefuni suppressed the fear in his body, grabbed a gas mask to isolate the smoke, and rushed to the lowest level of the laboratory without looking back.

He knew that he probably wouldn't be able to return this time, but he also understood one thing: if he couldn't guarantee the survival of the pathogens, then the entire world would be destroyed by the zombie virus!

Professor Yefuni rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation. His mind was full of completing his plan as soon as possible. Just as he was about to reach the secret room where the alien was being held.

In the next moment, Professor Yefuni suddenly stopped.

At the end of the passage, which was filled with flames and had already formed a sea of fire, a black figure stood abruptly.

It was a guy wearing a strange helmet. He had a plague doctor's mask on his face. Yefuni could clearly recognize that it was the special mask of a medieval plague doctor. The beak was made of silver, and the two black lenses didn't carry any emotion.

This bizarre scene instantly made Professor Yefuni, who was in the sea of fire, feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The black figure was like the Grim Reaper, standing quietly in the flames.

In his hand, he was also holding an extremely strange umbrella.
