Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Chapter 3 The Standing Corpse
When Luo Feng heard Wu Hao's words, his eyes widened instantly. He couldn't imagine why the dead would attack. Then he remembered Wu Hao's words describing the biochemical crisis.

"All infected hosts will become irrational, turning into zombies with only the desire to kill and eat..."

Thinking of this, Luo Feng immediately looked at the corpses in the water.

"Is this the creature we need to kill in the Lord God's mission? It looks no different from an ordinary person."

Just as he was observing carefully, James Shade led his team closer.

Alice saw the two people's gazes and immediately looked inside the laboratory. She saw a large number of corpses submerged in water. She was so surprised that she immediately covered her mouth.

At this time, the body of a woman with big wavy blonde hair, rising and falling with the water flow in the laboratory, gradually floated in front of everyone.

Wu Hao immediately stepped forward and knocked on the tempered glass of the laboratory in front of everyone's astonished eyes.

Unlike what he had imagined, the woman did not open her eyes and pounce on him like a hungry wolf, but continued to rise and fall quietly in the water.

Many mercenaries did not understand what Wu Hao wanted to do, only Luo Feng knew that he was trying to wake up these dead people.

"It happened."

At this time, Kaplan, a computer expert among the mercenaries, said, "To reach the Flame Queen, we must pass through these laboratory passages. Now they are flooded. I don't think we can get in."

James Shade nodded and said, "Rayne, J.D., go see if there's any chance of draining the water."

Upon hearing this, the two men immediately grabbed their guns and walked deeper into the aisle.

James Shade looked at the research institute filled with water again, and then instructed everyone: "Kaplan, Wu Hao, find another way to the Flame Queen."

After saying that, he took out a pistol from his waist and threw it towards Wu Hao.

Wu Hao immediately took the pistol, gave Luo Feng a reassuring look, and started walking out with Kaplan.

He didn't actually know how to use a gun, but while writing a novel, he met a rich girl who loved to use guns. She often shared videos of herself using guns on the other side of the ocean in the author group, and over time, he also had a certain understanding of firearms.

Kaplan brought Wu Hao to the outside of the corridor, and then the two began to look for a way to reach the location of the Fire Queen.

Wu Hao first played with the gun, and then he and Kaplan found the passage and discovered a huge warehouse.

Looking at the large number of containers in the warehouse, Wu Hao knew that he had arrived at Restaurant B. Curiosity drove him to take a look inside the containers, but his mind kept telling him that there was danger here.

Wu Hao resisted the urge to check. Once he entered Restaurant B, he would exceed the 100-meter distance allowed by the Lord God. He was only here to scout the route, but he didn't want to be eliminated by the Lord God directly.

Following Kaplan back to the laboratory, Kaplan went to report the situation to James. Wu Hao once again came to the laboratory's tempered glass and tapped on the tempered glass wall with his fingers, hoping to wake up the zombies in advance.

Luo Feng came to Wu Hao. He had just tried knocking on the glass, but it didn't wake up the corpse, which made him begin to doubt the authenticity of Wu Hao's words.

Now seeing Wu Hao knocking on the glass again, he immediately knew that he was not lying to him. The corpse was not activated, there must be some other reason.

Just as he was observing carefully, the corpse in the tempered glass suddenly opened its eyes, and its pale body suddenly exerted force. The fingers of its two hands twisted wildly and violently slapped the tempered glass of the laboratory.

"what!"

This horrifying scene instantly made Luo Feng's hair stand on end and he screamed in shock. He instinctively punched the tempered glass.

This punch was an extraordinary effort, with tons of force concentrated at one point, immediately creating a huge crack in the glass.

The mercenaries were shocked by the power of Luo Feng's fist and immediately drew their guns and aimed at Luo Feng's body.

But all this was of no avail. Wu Hao watched helplessly as the cracks on the tempered glass expanded little by little until they formed a violent water flow impact.

"Run!" He grabbed Luo Feng's body and yelled for everyone to flee. It was unknown how long the T virus could survive in water. Although the protagonists in the original film had all been soaked in water, that wasn't a reason for him to gamble that the water wouldn't infect people.

Everyone didn't understand what was going on, but they all followed Wu Hao and ran out of the laboratory corridor.

There is not too much water in the laboratory, at most the amount of water in a swimming pool, but the impact should not be underestimated.

Matt and Spence, who were running behind, were both knocked off their feet by the current and drank several gulps of water.

After the water completely dissipated, except for Luo Feng and Wu Hao who ran away first, everyone else's bodies were inevitably stained with corpse water.

"What do you want to do? Why can he break the tempered glass?"

As soon as everyone took a breath, James Shedd aimed his gun at Luo Feng.

Wu Hao immediately stepped forward to block the muzzle of the gun. At this time, it is necessary to make clear the priorities and there must be no non-combat casualties.

"Don't shoot. Is this the time to discuss breaking the tempered glass? Didn't you see the body move just now?"

James then put down his gun and looked at his teammates.

Kaplan hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly: "He is right, sir. The corpse was indeed knocking on the laboratory glass."

James looked at the medic again, who hesitated to confirm, "Maybe soaking for too long has caused mental confusion?"

She herself didn't believe this explanation, and her face immediately turned red from her neck.

At this moment, the water had all flowed into the sewer, and all the corpses that were washed out by the water also crawled up.

Luo Feng looked at the corpses that had come back to life, his eyes filled with deep vigilance. He still remembered Wu Hao's words.

Wu Hao immediately took out his gun and wanted to aim and shoot, but was stopped by James.

"Don't shoot at the survivors!"

Wu Hao was nearly thrown off guard by James's train of thought. He couldn't shoot at the survivors, but he and Luo Feng were free to aim at them, right? Could the double standard be any more obvious?

He immediately shouted angrily, "Have you ever seen anyone survive a few hours in the water? These people are clearly dead, yet they're crawling towards us. If you don't shoot now, are you going to wait until we're killed by the monsters before you start shooting back?"

Looking at the blanched corpse, James's mind was in a mess and he had no idea how to give combat orders.

Wu Hao immediately pushed him away, pointed his pistol at the rushing zombie and pulled the trigger.

The pistol instantly hit the zombie's body and smashed his chest, but it did not affect his movements at all. He continued to walk slowly towards the crowd.

"See? These monsters are no longer human. Hitting their bodies won't stop them!"

Everyone was shocked by Wu Hao's decisiveness, and they also saw the zombie whose chest was broken but was still rushing towards them.

Wu Hao fired again, and after three bullets in a row, one of them hit the zombie's head, killing it. However, everyone seemed indifferent, so he shouted again.

"What are you still standing there for? Shoot! Hit their heads, hitting their bodies won't work!"

Upon hearing this, the mercenaries finally showed the qualities they should have as mercenaries and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The gunshots instantly awakened more corpses, and they all rushed over.

James took a deep breath, then took out his gun and joined the team killing zombies.
