Jedi, who was carefully observing, suddenly shouted, "Damn it! Captain, that person just disappeared."
Everyone was surprised. Could someone disappear into thin air after being shot?
In this extremely quiet situation...
Su Mu heard the faint sound of an axe being dragged and knew that a large group of zombies was about to arrive.
Thinking of being surrounded by zombies soon, the danger level was a bit high.
There were hundreds of zombies in the base, and other people killing zombies would not affect his novice mission of killing ten zombies.
So, he fabricated a lie to break the silence.
"I... I remember now."
"This is where the Umbrella Corporation cultivates biological weapons."
"What you just encountered wasn't a survivor; it should be a researcher infected with the t-virus and turned into a zombie. Shooting its body is useless; you have to shoot its head to kill it."
"How could you..." James was about to ask something when he heard a very clear dragging sound.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a limping zombie, dragging an axe, appear before his eyes.
Everyone looked around and realized they were surrounded by a group of researchers who had turned into zombies.
Especially the zombie with half its face missing, still able to open its mouth and walk, made those who saw this scene for the first time gasp in horror and fear.
"Damn it!"
"They're everywhere! We're surrounded!"
...Su Mu didn't hesitate. He tightly gripped his slightly trembling right hand with his left, aimed his gun at a zombie's head a few meters away, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The recoil caused the muzzle to lift a bit, and the bullet missed.
He quickly retracted his arm, held the gun against his chest, gripped it with both hands, and pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
This shot hit the zombie in the face. The zombie's body stiffened and it fell straight to the ground.
【Ding, killed one ordinary zombie, gained 10 Evolution Points】
Killing zombies also gives extra Evolution Points?
Su Mu's face showed joy.
He was about to pull the trigger to kill another zombie, but he saw James, Jedi, and others wildly spraying bullets at the zombies' bodies with their rifles. The bullets had no effect on the zombies and couldn't stop their slow advance.
How could this work!
If this continued, the zombies would soon reach them and break through their defenses, putting him in danger as well.
Su Mu quickly retreated to James's side and shouted, "Aim for the head! Shoot the head! Burst fire, save bullets!"
James, who was instinctively shooting, then remembered what Su Mu had just said: zombies could only be killed by shooting them in the head.
He immediately fired a shot at the head of a zombie a few meters away. When he saw the zombie, which had taken several shots without dying, truly fall and stop moving, he quickly shouted to his teammates to conserve ammunition and shoot the zombies in the head.
Knowing the zombies' weakness, the Task Force quickly regained control of the situation.
Zombies lay all over the ground nearby, unable to get close, and the surrounded group gradually calmed down.
However, the number of zombies had not decreased. All the zombies in the entire base were attracted by the gunshots and were constantly rushing towards them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Su Mu held his pistol, continuously killing the zombies in front of him.
【Ding, gained 10 Evolution Points】
【Ding, gained 10 Evolution Points】
...【Ding, all novice missions completed】
【Gained mission reward: 100 Evolution Points, successfully unlocked permission to return to Blue Star】
【Return to Blue Star immediately?】
"System, after I return, can I come back?"
【To re-enter an unlocked world, 10,000 Evolution Points are required.】
"What if I don't return to Blue Star now?"
【Return permission is reserved; you can return immediately when you wish.】
Hearing that he could return immediately at any time, Su Mu chose not to return for now.
The Evolution Points gained from killing ten zombies, plus the Evolution Points rewarded for the novice mission, left him with only 200 Evolution Points.
It was simply too little.
After returning, it would cost 10,000 Evolution Points to come back here, and he didn't have that many Evolution Points.
It was better to take advantage of the current low danger, continue killing zombies, and earn some Evolution Points.
When the Lickers came out and danger arose, he would make his escape.
For a time...
Only the continuous sound of gunshots echoed in B Restaurant.
What Su Mu didn't know was that while the Task Force was shooting frantically earlier, many bullets hit the culture tanks not far away.
At this moment, a faint "beep, beep, beep" alarm sounded from the culture tank a few meters away.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the culture tank suddenly exploded, sparks flying. The huge shockwave directly knocked everyone to the ground.
Su Mu, who fell to the ground, only felt a ringing in his ears.
He struggled to get up, looking around immediately.
Fortunately, there were no zombies nearby; otherwise, in his current state, he would only be able to escape back to Blue Star via the system.
He hadn't expected that even after he had warned them to shoot the zombies' heads to kill them, these people were still so scared that they shot wildly, causing the culture tank to explode.
The zombies, without pain perception, once again closed in.
In the chaos, the group was gradually split into several teams.
Danilova pulled Su Mu, along with two other Task Force members Su Mu had saved, and retreated towards the laser corridor.
James and Kaplan, along with Rain, Jedi, and Spence, were forced back to the elevator by the zombies.
Alice, who had recovered some memories due to the explosion's impact, and Matt, who was determined to find evidence to expose the Umbrella Corporation's illegal genetic research, ran towards the laboratory.
Having just been there, Su Mu and his group quickly returned to the entrance of the laser corridor.
Watching Danilova close the metal door, he was so tired he sat directly on the ground, gasping for breath.
While the other two rested, they continuously contacted James, Jedi, and others via ear-mic, reporting their current location.
Su Mu leaned against the cold wall, looking at the three computers Kaplan had used to bypass the Red Queen's machine room access control.
He suddenly remembered the plot of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
Below these three computers was where the Umbrella Corporation's high-level 'originals' hibernated.
At this moment, the people on the ground and those managing affairs in various bases were all clones of these individuals.
The most crucial thing was that these clones were completely unaware of this, believing themselves to be the "originals" and considering the subsequently created clones, number two, number three, etc., to be their replicas.
If only his strength wasn't insufficient now...
The virus hadn't officially spread yet, and he was worried that the Umbrella Corporation's high-level personnel hadn't entered their cryo-sleep chambers.
Su Mu really wanted to open this descending passage to snatch the airborne anti-viral antidote from Dr. Isaac, which could instantly eliminate zombies.
However, thinking that the system store could buy anything with Evolution Points, his covetousness for this antidote lessened a bit.
