Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"I am the central AI management system for this research facility. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

The Queen's large blue eyes swept over everyone present, her gaze innocent and harmless.

"But this is not a place for you."

Her voice was gentle, yet it carried a subtle hint of admonition.

"The world outside is vast and wonderful. Please go back now while there's still time."

Lu Ze took a step forward, his gaze meeting those bright, watery eyes.

"Sorry, we have something we need to do. We need access to your core database."

The smile on the Queen's face froze for a moment.

Why?

Her voice was still sweet, but there was a hint of coldness hidden in her tone.

"What do you want? I can help you find out. As long as it's within my authority, I can tell you. You probably don't need to come down to me in person."

Clearly, the Red Queen strongly resists others touching her body.

"We need you," Luze replied briefly and firmly.

The Red Queen remained silent for a moment.

Those big blue eyes stared straight at Lu Ze, and something seemed to be quietly cracking beneath the innocent exterior.

"I understand," she said, her voice still soft, but the warmth was rapidly fading. "You are just like them."

Her figure flickered slightly.

"Just like those who want to hurt me."

The moment the words left his mouth, the lights in the entire B restaurant suddenly turned into a red glow, signifying danger.

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire research institute at the same time, making everyone's eardrums ache.

The holographic image of the Red Queen still retains the face of an innocent little girl in the red light, but the corners of her mouth have been replaced with a ferocious smile.

"Since that's the case—"

She opened her arms as if embracing the entire space.

"Then please, become a part of them."

With a sharp mechanical unlocking sound, the incubation device closest to the five people suddenly began to exhaust gas.

Pale green nutrient solution gushed out from the drain at the bottom, and the glass hatch made a hissing sound as it was depressurized, slowly lifting upwards.

The licker, curled up in the liquid, suddenly opened its eyes.

Following that, the second group, the third group, and the fourth group.

The entire cultivation equipment in Restaurant B began to unlock in large sections, and nutrient solution poured onto the ground like a flood.

The newly awakened Lickers struggled to crawl out of the incubation chamber, shook off the nutrient solution from their heads, and crawled on all fours like skinned frogs.

At the same time, the metal doors around Restaurant B opened simultaneously, and heavy metallic clanging echoed around.

A dense chorus of footsteps came from behind the door.

It's a zombie.

Hundreds and thousands of zombies are surging in from all directions.

Silver Wolf looked at the horde of corpses surging in like a tide, his tone not filled with panic, but with eager excitement.

"This time we've really stirred up a zombie abyss."

Lu Ze didn't respond to the joke.

He took out a silver Desert Eagle from his storage bag; the gun gleamed coldly in the red light.

He pulled the slide, chambered a bullet, and the movement was swift and decisive.

Ada Wong also drew her pistol and stood beside him, her amber eyes fixed on a Licker on the ceiling that was rapidly crawling toward them.

The first licker swooped down from the ceiling.

Lu Ze raised his hand, and the Desert Eagle let out a deafening roar.

The large-caliber bullet sliced ​​off most of the licker's head. The enormous impact caused it to lose its balance in mid-air and crash heavily to the ground, twitching twice before becoming still.

Ada Wong's gun also spat fire, accurately hitting a Licker that was trying to approach from the side.

Silver Wolf picked up his P90 and opened fire on the horde of zombies surging towards him.

Bullets rained down, and the zombies in the front row fell in droves like wheat being harvested.

But the zombies behind immediately filled the gap, stepping on their companions' bodies to continue advancing, as if they could never be killed off.

"We don't have enough of these!"

Silver Wolf finished a magazine and quickly replaced it, but frowned as she looked at the ever-growing horde of zombies.

"Luze, give me that MP5K!"

Upon hearing Silver Wolf's words, Lu Ze took out the machine gun she wanted from her storage bag with one hand and tossed it to Silver Wolf. At the same time, he fired a shot, blowing a Licker's head off.

Silver Wolf took the gun, checked the magazine, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"A rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute, death is knocking at the door!"

She lifted the gun with both hands, pulled the trigger, and the MP5K emitted a dense roar, with the muzzle flashing continuously.

Her small frame paired with a heavy machine gun creates a surprisingly cute contrast, giving her the appearance of a violent loli.

The spent cartridges clattered and fell to the ground, quickly forming a thin layer.

Even so, the horde of zombies continued to approach.

The Lickers swiftly climbed and leaped between the ceiling and walls, sometimes diving to attack, sometimes disappearing into the horde of corpses, waiting for their chance to strike.

Ada Wong, in coordination with Luze's shooting, blocked all of the Licker's movement routes.

Lu Ze was able to accurately target and kill monsters; with each bullet he fired, a monster fell.

But the cultivation device is constantly being unlocked, and new Lickers are continuously joining the battlefield.

The zombies on the ground surged forth like a tide, endless and relentless.

Silver Wolf's MP5K barrel was already glowing red, and spent cartridges piled up at her feet, forming a small metal hill.

She gritted her teeth, her anger undiminished, but sweat was already beading on her forehead.

Lu Ze blew the head off a Licker that fell from the sky with a single shot, then turned to the Silver Wolf beside him and asked.

"Silver Wolf, can I use my superpowers now?"
