Surviving in anime world, playing with a girl and getting watched by the live chat.

Moreover, they didn't touch the black mud with their hands. It's possible that the black mud just doesn't corrode boots and clothes, but it can corrode flesh.

As they walked, the group noticed that the mud had deepened. Dongyun reminded them to slow down, telling Yamada Ryo and Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who were leading the way.

However, as the increasingly dark mud reached their ankles, they arrived at the Duka Energy building.

Rows of glass doors and walls appeared before the crowd, but most of the glass walls were shattered, and one of the two glass doors was broken. There were also many bloodstains on the glass, making it look quite gruesome.

[Campaign: Biochemical Laboratory]

[Survivors: Shinonome, Gabriel, Yamada Ryo, Shima Rin, Goto Ichiri, Kita Ikuyo, Kagamihara Nadeshiko, Ijichi Nijika]

[Requirements: 1. Obtain a virus inhibitor; 2. Obtain a virus vaccine; 3. All personnel must survive, and no casualties are allowed.]

Familiar scarlet text appeared before everyone's eyes, and seeing the virus vaccine in the battle requirements, everyone was more or less surprised.

"A virus vaccine? There's a virus vaccine in the lab?"

Ichi Nijika was surprised.

The Dietrich Laboratory not only has virus inhibitors, but also virus vaccines.

If they get the vaccine and get an injection, will they be completely immune to the virus and be able to walk around the world with impunity?

"We don't know how effective it will be, so don't have too high expectations. It might just make ordinary people immune to viruses in the air."

Shinonome poured cold water on Ijichi Nijika's excitement.

"If the vaccine works well, then this lab probably won't have fallen into the trap, and there might still be living people inside. And the presence of living people inside is not good news for us. Anyone who can be in this lab is definitely a beast in human skin. Don't forget Cleveland."

The Cleveland lab was ruthless enough; he had no doubt that the Detrick lab could be even more ruthless.

He couldn't even imagine how terrifying and dark a virus research lab in a country where Lolita Island could exist in reality could be. He had no doubt that the research at the Cleveland lab was just the tip of the iceberg compared to that at the Detrick lab.

After all, Cleveland also came from the Detrick Laboratory, and many of his cruel researches had not yet been put into use since he had just arrived in Vikland.

The Detrick Laboratory, which has a long history of receiving personnel from the Japanese Unit 731, was far more inhumane than Cryllof's "One-Day Laboratory."

"Everyone, please be prepared. Minors, remember to close your eyes. The scariest thing inside is probably not the zombies."

Dongyun solemnly reminded everyone.

Then, he took a deep breath, changed the subject, and asked in a slightly more relaxed tone.

"Are you ready, children?"

"Yes, Captain!"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko raised her left hand and responded with great enthusiasm.

Chapter 89 Biochemical Laboratory

Dull, dark, quiet, terrifying...

Walking through the muddy, dark world, many people felt uneasy, and more or less negative emotions began to grow and spread in their hearts.

The Duka Energy building was pitch black, getting darker the deeper you went. Not only that, but various spores floated in the air, severely limiting the range of their flashlights and Angel Rings.

Light has difficulty penetrating the spores, resulting in visibility of less than three meters.

What a vicious environment.

The ground was covered in black mud, and the air was filled with spores.

Dongyun kept looking around and occasionally looked up to shine his flashlight on the ceiling to prevent them from being unaware of any danger above them.

"Well……!"

Suddenly, Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who was walking in front, stopped again.

She felt herself step on something, something soft and uncomfortable in the black mud.

"what happened?"

Hearing Kagamihara Nadeshiko's voice beside him, Yamada Ryo quickly shone his flashlight.

"I don't know what I stepped on, it was soft and hard at the same time."

After stepping into something in the black mud, Kagamihara Nadeshiko stopped moving.

"Try poking it with your fire axe."

Dongyun suggested.

None of them had any long melee weapons, except for Nadeshiko, who had a long fire axe.

"It might be a corpse."

Shima Rin speculated.

According to Nadeshiko's description, she sounded like a rotting corpse.

Don't ask her why her first thought was of corpses, not other normal things in the building. The answer is that since the zombie outbreak, the thing she's seen the most is corpses.

Moving corpses and immobile corpses.

"It looks like a corpse."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko poked it with an axe, feeling that the shape was roughly a head, and then felt it with her foot.

Yes, it's confirmed, it's a corpse.

"What? It's a corpse."

Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who had been looking very serious, breathed a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

"..."

Seeing this, Ichiji Nijika opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

No, why do I feel relieved when I step on a corpse?

Shouldn't we be afraid? Even if it's just stepping on a corpse, even if it's just a little bit scary, that's fine.

What's with that relieved expression on his face when he thought he'd stepped in poop, only to find it wasn't poop at all, but just ice cream?!

Ichi Nijika really wanted to complain.

Although everyone has gradually gotten used to the zombie apocalypse and to seeing both living and dead bodies every day, the thought of stepping on a rotting corpse should still be a little scary, right?

"Why……!"

Almost imperceptibly, Ichiji Nijika sighed, her doe-like ahoge (antenna-shaped hair sticking up) looking a little listless.

If this continues, she'll become like Nadeshiko, used to corpses. She knows it's not a bad thing, but she doesn't want to become like that.

There's no reason; I just don't want to.

There were corpses in the black mud, so everyone became more careful when walking.

The sound of footsteps, "Pat-pat! Pat-pat!" echoed in the dimly lit room.

Every step was heavy and arduous for everyone.

Because of the poor visibility and lack of knowledge about the building's structure, it took them quite a while to find the staircase.

The staircase is hidden very deep.

Kagamihara Nadeshiko pushed open the double doors, and colorful spores rushed out.

At this moment, the color of the "Virus Protection Card?" hanging on Dongyun's head turned even redder.

"This godforsaken place should have a backup power source, right? There's no way it wouldn't. Let's find our way to the lab while also looking for the power station to restart the power. It's too dark. Even if we find the lab, it's too dangerous in this darkness."

Dongyun waved his hand, seemingly aimlessly fanning away the spores in the air.

So far, they haven't encountered any danger, but he believes this is the calm before the storm.

Once they find their way to the lab, they'll definitely encounter zombies and special infected, and there might even be other monsters inside.

"It's so annoying, I can't see anything."

Gabriel couldn't help but feel annoyed as she looked at the spores that were severely obstructing her view.

"There's nothing we can do but bear with it."

Dongyun carefully held onto the stair railing and walked downstairs.

The power room is probably downstairs, and the laboratory is probably downstairs as well.

He originally thought the black mud would flood the underground floors, but the black mud was strange; it only covered the ground with a layer, like a thick blanket that one could sink into.

This thing, could it be a fungal carpet?

Dongyun muttered to himself.

This wasn't just baseless speculation; the black mud seemed to be alive.

The movement of the black mud was not obvious to the naked eye, but when he stepped into it, he could clearly feel the mud being squeezed and contracted.

It looks like, it looks like, it looks like...

Well, it's best not to think about random things right now.

The group quickly arrived at the basement level and soon found the power room.

The power room was right next to the stairwell; the door to the power room was closed, but not completely closed.
