Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game-Chapter 3500: Elimination

Ten minutes later, several members of the Demi-Human Tribe fought their way through the guards along the route and entered the underground domain of the research institute.

The tribesmen who had been sealed away and imprisoned in the lower experimental area were finally rescued.

Seeing their clansmen imprisoned one by one inside experimental petri dishes, kept in a comatose state and barely sustaining their life signs solely through external energy input, Gu Qingzhu felt overwhelming wrath in her heart.

Nearby, a Demi-Human Tribe member attempted to log into the research institute’s internal account using Ernst’s personal credentials.

Information related to the New Human Project appeared on the giant laboratory screen.

Everyone gathered in front of the screen.

The New Human Project had been established primarily to research the special abilities of the Demi-Human Tribe, with the goal of allowing humans to also acquire some of the Demi-Human Tribe’s abilities.

After years of research, Ernst had already achieved partial preliminary results.

By refining Demi-Human Tribe blood and mixing it with various special substances, then injecting the special liquid into ordinary humans, players could gain abilities similar to those of the Demi-Human Tribe.

They could temporarily break free from the constraints of the game cabin and directly enter the game from the real world.

In Ernst’s current research, players who were injected with the potion could, for a short time, gain the ability to freely enter and exit the game. If they needed to maintain this ability for an extended period, continuous injections were required.

Therefore, this batch of Demi-Human Tribe members imprisoned in the lower levels of the research institute was being used for blood extraction.

The anger in the hearts of the Demi-Human Tribe members present continued to grow.

"The Demi-Human Tribe research data is classified at the highest level in the laboratory and is not connected to the external network. There shouldn’t be any backups outside," one Demi-Human Tribe member checked the data and said. "Execute data deletion."

"Wait."

Gu Qingzhu suddenly noticed a portion of the information on the screen.

"Enhanced cooperation agreement, what is that?"

A Demi-Human Tribe subordinate opened the agreement to review it and said, "It’s a cooperation agreement with the Central Federation. The Central Federation has an internal plan that requires the support of the ’New Humans.’ They need the test subjects to retain the Demi-Human Tribe’s special abilities and maintain the ability to freely enter and exit the game as much as possible."

"It’s related to the Seventh Squad."

"The Seventh Squad..."

Fang Heng murmured to himself and walked over to open the relevant information for closer inspection.

The Federation players they had encountered earlier belonged to the Seventh Squad.

Unfortunately, the data did not mention how the Seventh Squad had obtained that portion of power.

"Delete all data. Prepare to evacuate."

As Gu Qingzhu watched the progress bar slowly advance on the screen, she felt the heavy burden that had weighed on her shoulders for so long finally being lifted.

A Demi-Human Tribe member walked over and nodded. "Sister Qingzhu, the explosive device has been set up. I will detonate it using psychic abilities, or if I die, the explosive device will immediately detonate." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Alright." Gu Qingzhu nodded lightly. "It’s time to evacuate. We’ve delayed too long. The Central Federation outside has probably surrounded this place by now. There will be another tough battle later."

"It’s fine."

Fang Heng loosened his shoulders.

The current Central Federation was no longer worth his concern.

"Just follow me."

...

Outside the secret research institute.

After receiving news that experimental subjects had escaped from the secret research institute, the Central Federation’s secret research zone immediately entered Grade 1 alert status. Personnel from all relevant units rushed in as reinforcements, sealing off the entire institute area so tightly that not even water could pass through.

The specific internal situation was still unclear.

But clearly, the situation was far from optimistic.

The special crisis investigation team arrived with a group, pushing aside the guards and armed troops blocking the entrance as they entered the building to assess the situation.

In the main lobby at the entrance of the research institute, Central Federation emergency crisis management squads stood guard with live weapons, all muzzles aimed upward.

The middle-aged man swept his gaze over everyone and said in a deep voice, "I am Felix, the action team captain appointed by the Central Federation committee to investigate this incident. Who is the person in charge here? What is the situation inside?"

"Sir, you’re finally here."

A somewhat simple-looking, chubby man jogged over, wiped the sweat running down his cheeks, and explained, "The research institute just experienced unknown electromagnetic interference. Internal communications and monitoring were cut off. We currently don’t know exactly what happened. We only know that before the alarm sounded, there was an alert about a research subject losing control."

"Additionally, the crisis management, the Seventh Squad, had already entered the upper levels of the building some time ago, but no news has come back."

Felix frowned deeply.

The Seventh Squad was a special unit established by the Federation in the past two years, with a rather mysterious background. Initially, they were selected from within the Federation as players with outstanding individual strength. After multiple rounds of screening and at least three months of closed training, their strength underwent a qualitative transformation.

It was said that this team was listed as the Central Federation’s highest-level experimental project.

They were also connected to the experiments at Ernst’s research institute.

Felix’s subordinate team had once sparred with them. Their strength was indeed terrifying, with a clear gap.

Had they lost contact?

This was troublesome.

"Maintain position. Guard all entrances and exits. Stand by!"

"Yes!"

As he spoke, a Federal authorities minister arrived with an entourage.

Felix noticed members of the Federation’s Seventh Squad within the group and frowned slightly.

During the Hell Rift crisis, the Federation’s Seventh Squad had made quite a name for itself. Their team members possessed extremely strong individual combat abilities and had successfully protected many high-ranking Central Federation officials from Hell monsters during the crisis, earning deep trust from the upper ranks.

"Minister."

Felix stepped forward to report on the situation inside the research institute.

Minister Gilles listened carefully, frowned, and asked, "Have you not checked the relevant research institute materials yet? You still don’t know which experimental subject went wrong?"

"The research institute was specially approved and established by the Central Federation’s committee and is classified at the highest level. We have no way of accessing the relevant information."

Gilles then turned to the person in charge of the Seventh Squad and asked, "Do you know?"

"Sorry, sir. We do have cooperation with the research institute, and we regularly dispatch a squad to handle security maintenance missions. However, we do not interfere with the institute’s specific research matters, so we are not aware of the details."

The Seventh Squad leader, Lais, spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly. "Sir, do you need us to join the rescue and send personnel into the building to investigate?"

"Careful!"

"Someone is coming down!"

Members of the crisis management group immediately became alert, raising their muzzles toward the upper staircase.

Looking toward the stairwell above, they saw a young man leading a group of people slowly walking down the stairs.

It was Fang Heng.

Felix recognized Fang Heng at a glance. His most sensitive nerve jolted sharply, and he quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to lower their weapons. "Stop! What are you doing! That is Mr. Fang Heng!"

The Federation’s crisis management group and the various teams in the lobby were all startled when they heard Fang Heng’s name and hurriedly lowered their guns.
