From Xiao Qiang's perspective, he looked down at the corpse, which was so shriveled that it was nothing but skin stretched over bones, its features severely distorted with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. It was a thing that had already become a rotting corpse; how could these people use it for experiments?
Wait! It seemed someone had entered the laboratory—three individuals dressed in green protective suits filed in one after another. They carefully examined the hanging corpse and reported relevant data about the Experimental Subject to those observing from the next room: "This is a body stored in a freezer for nearly three years, with average brain cell quality and one-third of the body deteriorated. Should we proceed with the experimental operation?"
On the other side of the fiberglass wall, a Foreign Scientist gave them an OK gesture, indicating that they could proceed with the experiment.
The masked trio received the order and appeared cautious. One continued to inspect the corpse while another picked up a KT42 rifle, aiming it at the body...
The last person went to activate a button located in the middle of the lower end of a circular sealed canister. After a faint 'ding ding ding' sound from the button activation, he inserted a plastic tube connected to the canister into the corpse's mouth...
What was inside that sealed canister? Xiao Qiang had no time or opportunity to check. However, witnessing this action below stirred a sense of unease within him.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes. Suddenly, the fingers of the corpse began to twitch, followed by tremors throughout its entire body... This scene startled the other three individuals in the room; however, it was just a brief shock before they stabilized and quietly observed further movements of the corpse.
The Blue-Eyed, Hooked Nose Foreign Scientist gestured and shouted at them: "A dose of ten ml."
Someone in the room relayed to the person controlling the button: "Mr. Smith ordered, A dose of ten ml."
The person controlling the button, a Thug, responded with an "OK."
With a hissing sound, gas flowed continuously into the corpse's mouth. Suddenly, the body began to convulse violently; its tightly shut eyes widened in shock as it tilted its head back...
Xiao Qiang was secretly astonished and cursed inwardly: Damn, after absorbing that sinister gas, it seemed like this corpse could smell him and was staring directly at him with wide-open eyes.
The corpse's sunken, shriveled eyes suddenly rolled around after absorbing the gas. It was terrifying! Xiao Qiang felt a chill run down his spine and quickly shrank back.
The corpse, having lost its target to smell, went into a frenzy, stomping its feet and shaking its withered arms while shouting, "Brain Essence..." Its blood-red eyes glared menacingly at the three people nearby, thick, viscous liquid oozing from the corners of its mouth—presumably corpse fluid—which looked particularly disgusting and horrifying.
As the corpse struggled violently, the chains binding it seemed on the verge of breaking, producing a series of cracking sounds. Although the three people in the room were frightened, they dared not execute the newly awakened corpse without Mr. Smith's orders.
At that moment, Mr. Smith's private phone rang unexpectedly. Generally, during experiments in the lab, any disruptive calls or noises were prohibited. Receiving a private call at this time made him feel that something significant must have happened.
Mr. Smith answered the call, and as he listened, his expression changed drastically; his brows furrowed deeply. He bellowed, "Rushed to up this mess."
Outside, chaos erupted, and everyone in the observation room hurriedly evacuated. The remaining three inside became tense and flustered in their panic.
The corpse let out a beastly roar as it appeared ready to break free from its chains. One of the staff members, not daring to slack off, aimed a syringe filled with what seemed to be anesthetic at the creature and shot it.
After being sedated, the suspended corpse's head drooped down, returning to its previous lifeless state. The others busied themselves cleaning up the scattered instruments, oblivious to the fact that the corpse had once again opened its blood-red eyes. With a snap, it broke free from its chains and lunged at one of the staff members' plump backside, biting down hard… along with their protective suit and a chunk of bloody flesh that the Living Dead swallowed whole.
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from the person whose backside was bitten; they turned to protect themselves… just as their head came into view of the Living Dead. With a growl, the Living Dead bit down and devoured that person's Brain Essence right before Xiao Qiang's astonished gaze.
With only anesthetic guns available as weapons in the room, it was clear that the other two were also doomed. In a panic, Xiao Qiang didn't know what to do when suddenly, in their fright and confusion, the two remaining individuals accidentally knocked over a sealed canister. A thick cloud of smoke began to billow out from it, engulfing both the living and the Brain Essence-eating Living Dead.
The smoke rose upward; Xiao Qiang couldn't jump down through the ventilation shaft and could only retreat along his original path. As he backed away, he kept an eye on the room below. Finally, he spotted something—a child seemed to be lying there asleep…
Xiao Qiang focused intently; wasn't that Xiao Wu Yi? He found an entry point, tore open a wire mesh, and jumped down safely into the room. Without hesitation, he scooped up Xiao Wu Yi and ran off.
The acrid scent, mingled with the smell of sulfur, gradually wafted through the air. In a panic, he caught sight of a sign indicating the restroom and hurried inside, quickly wetting his clothes to cover Xiao Wu Yi's face before continuing to run.
Due to a leak from a sealed container, corrosive mist spread continuously. Alarms blared throughout the hospital, yet no one came to investigate.
The smoke rolled and moved, filling every corner of the hospital. Especially in the morgue, the mist invaded, awakening the sleeping corpses that began to howl like beasts, thrashing about and violently banging against the morgue door.
A staff member on duty in the morgue was awakened by the noise and felt something was off. As he got up to check, he opened the door only to be torn apart by the swarm of Living Dead that surged out.
Xiao Qiang, holding Xiao Wu Yi, wandered through the maze-like basement, feeling surrounded by Living Dead. No matter where he looked, traces of them were everywhere. In desperation, he clutched Xiao Wu Yi again and squeezed through a ventilation duct, hoping it would make it harder for the Living Dead to find them.
Climbing through the duct alone had been manageable, but now carrying a child made it quite difficult. He had to ensure that the cloth covering her face didn’t slip off and that she wouldn’t inhale any of that strange toxic mist while she slept.
