“The cold air is leaking out so quickly…” Fang Heng frowned and murmured. He continued to control the zombie clone and pressed the live sample collector on Alex’s arm. “Chi!” A faint sound was heard. The needle of the live sample collector pierced through Alex’s skin. Alex seemed to not react at all. Fang Heng didn’t dare to be negligent. He stared at the progress bar that was slowly moving above the head of the zombie clone. [Hint: Your zombie clone has obtained a complete live corpse vine sample*1 through the live sample collector.] “Done!” After collecting the sample, Fang Heng immediately controlled the zombie clone to cover the coffin. The zombie clone slowly walked back and handed the collected sample to Fang Heng. [Hint: You have obtained the sample of the experimental subject Alex*1.] [Hint: You can submit it to the mission publisher, Vettel, to increase the completion rate of the current side mission 3-obtaining the sample of the experimental subject Alex by 100%.] [Description: Currently, the live sample is only counted as one completion rate reward. No additional completion rate reward will be obtained by submitting the sample multiple times.] “Whew!” After getting the sample, Fang Heng wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had to be careful. After all, Alex was a Tier 3 or Tier 4 mutated zombie. If he suddenly woke up, the consequences would be unimaginable. “I’ve better get out of here.” The longer he stayed here, the more uneasy Fang Heng felt. He turned around and walked toward the door, picking up the sample to check. Item: Experimental subject Alex’s live sample. Description: A sample of high-value. Trust me, the researchers will go crazy over it. Even in the apocalypse, it will definitely sell for a very high price! (You can submit it as a mission item, or you can trade it with other players or NPCs.) Huh? Fang Heng, who was about to escape from the place, stopped when he saw the notification. A live sample could only be submitted once for the mission, but it didn’t mean that the sample couldn’t be collected multiple times. Similarly, it could also be used outside of the mission! Moreover, the item description indicated that Alex’s live sample was very precious and of high value! Coincidentally, Fang Heng had always required money. Especially now, he needed a large number of survival points to evolve his zombie clones! Also, the moment he saw the item description, Fang Heng immediately thought of Qiu Yaokang. That cold researcher whose mind was filled with experiments. If he gave him a living sample of Alex, would he be able to exchange it for a better attribute enhancement potion? Fang Heng felt tempted. He turned around and once again focused his gaze on Alex’s dormant coffin. He was already here, so it wouldn’t be too much to collect a few more samples, would it? Even though it was very dangerous, Alex could wake up at any time… Greed! When he could be greedy, he had to be greedy to death! Fang Heng gritted his teeth. “Greed!” He kept the farthest distance from the coffin and once again controlled the zombie clones to walk forward and open the coffin. The little cold air that was left leaked out once again. “Chi!” The sample collector was injected into Alex’s arm again, piercing through his skin. A slow-moving reading bar appeared above the zombie clones’ heads. [Hint: You have obtained a sample of the experimental subject Alex*1.] [Hint: You have obtained a sample of the experimental subject Alex*1.] [Hint: You have obtained a sample…] After collecting five more samples, Alex’s originally green-grey arm had already revealed a greyish-white colour. While he was collecting the seventh sample, Fang Heng suddenly noticed that Alex’s finger twitched slightly while he was still sleeping. “D*mn it!” His greed had led to big trouble! Fang Heng felt a chill on his back! “Bang!” He hurriedly controlled the zombie clones to stop the collection and cover the coffin lid. Fang Heng held his breath and looked at Alex in the coffin nervously. Fortunately, Alex did not display major changes. He just remained silent after twitching his finger just now. Fang Heng didn’t dare to risk his life anymore. He quickly controlled the zombie clones to leave the secret research room together. In theory, the specially-made coffin box could still be frozen for 30 hours after the power was cut off. However, when the zombies were collecting the samples just now, too much cold air had leaked out. In addition, the continuous collection of samples must have triggered Alex… Fang Heng felt that this coffin would definitely not last for 30 hours. Alex could wake up at any time! It was too dangerous to stay in the hospital. He had to leave the hospital as soon as possible. Oh right, don’t forget about the corpse vines! The corpse vines in the secret research room had been modified after hundreds of studies. They were extremely suitable for parasites. In order to facilitate the evolution and modification of the zombie clones in the future, the corpse vines had to be taken away as well! The corpse vines couldn’t be put into the backpack, so they could only be carried away in the flower pots by the evolved vine zombie clones. Outside the morgue, Fang Heng lowered his head and thought. In this way, it was very inconvenient to carry the corpse vines and the flower pots. It was definitely not possible to leave through the front entrance of the hospital. “Firstly, there are too many zombies outside, so there’s not enough time to clean them up. Secondly, when the zombies swarm over, if the corpse vine is stimulated and starts to parasitize the zombies, it’ll be troublesome…” Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered again. “I got it! The sewer!” Fang Heng had an idea. He took out the map of the sewer from his backpack and checked it. The map only displayed the part of the sewer of the hospital. There were two entrances to the sewer of the hospital, both in the parking lot on the basement level. “I’ll go there and check the situation first.” Fang Heng turned back to the parking lot on the basement level. The parking lot had been cleaned once before and it remained quiet. The iron door that Fang Heng had manually put down was very strong and had not been scratched by the zombies outside. Fang Heng followed the instructions on the blueprint and quickly found the manhole cover in the corner of the parking lot. As the manhole cover was locked from the inside, Fang Heng could only take out a stone hammer and forcefully knock it open. “Bang!” [Hint: You deal damage to the manhole cover +29.] The manhole cover only had 10,000 HP, so it would be opened very soon! A group of zombie clones took out small stone hammers and slammed them at the manhole cover. “Bang! Bang Bang! Bang Bang!” In less than ten minutes, the manhole cover was broken. Fang Heng held a flashlight and shone it down. “My god! So many!” Fang Heng was shocked. At first glance, he saw a circle of zombies’ heads in the sewer. They noticed the light of the flashlight and immediately became excited and kept howling. These zombies were also attracted by the explosion in the hospital earlier on. Fang Heng carefully scanned the interior of the sewer with his flashlight. The inside of the sewer was very wide, about ten meters long. In the middle of the sewer was a three-meter-long dirty sewer. There were at least seven to eight hundred zombies in the entire sewer. Fang Heng didn’t sense any mutated zombies among them. “It’s not a big problem.” Fang Heng muttered to himself. He soon had a plan. He only needed to clean them all up and then escape from the hospital through the sewer. Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones to raise their spears and jump into the sewers one by one, starting to clear out the zombies. [Hint: Your zombie clone has killed an ordinary zombie. You have obtained survival points*2.] [Hint: Your zombie clone has killed an ordinary zombie. You have obtained survival points*2. You have obtained evolution crystal fragment*1.] [Hint: Your zombie clone has killed an ordinary zombie. You have obtained survival points*2.] [Hint: Your zombie clone has killed an ordinary zombie…] The game log began to refresh crazily again..
