On the afternoon of the third day after the restoration of the headquarters building, You Cai handed over the plan of action for Laz Workshop and Central Laboratory to Chen Jing. At 4: 30 PM, a meeting of the higher-ups of the guards regarding Laz Workshop and Central Laboratory was held in the conference room on the first floor of the central building.

Up till now, Chen Jing and the others had a better understanding of zombies' habits and habits, Chen's notebook had a few more lines on it: 1. In addition to normal zombies, zombies also have some even stronger zombies, such as level two zombies, or perhaps even stronger zombies; 2) Zombies are omnivorous, not just eating humans, insects, animals, etc. 3) Zombies don't like to stay in their room. When there is no food in the room, they usually jump out of the window at the first moment (of course, zombies don't open the door).

Therefore, after some discussion, Chen Jing and the others believed that the battle between the silk workshop and the central laboratory wouldn't be too intense. What they needed to pay attention to was the large number of zombies that could exist in the central laboratory's underground research facility.

The battle started the next morning at dawn. Because most of the zombies were still sleeping, the battle progressed at an incredible speed. In less than half an hour, more than ten zombies were already eliminated. Leaving the female guards to sweep through the battlefield, the main force quickly made their way into the central laboratory.

There were only a few zombies around the laboratory. After Chen Jing took care of them, he left Squad Four and led the other three squads into the lab. There were no zombies around the lab, only a few rotten corpses.

The underground research institute of the central laboratory was a top secret location at the national level. There was a heavy iron gate at the entrance. Other than commuting and opening under special circumstances, it was closed the rest of the time.

When Chen Jing and co. arrived at the iron gate, they found that it was closed. There was no one at the gate and two Type 95 rifles were thrown aside. It seemed that the two guards had turned into zombies and ran away. The metal door was electrically controlled, so it was impossible to open. It took him more than two hours to cut a big hole in the door.

Behind the door were four elevators and two flights of stairs. Although the underground laboratory was called the central laboratory's underground research institute, it was actually an underground base hidden 50 meters below the ground. It was built according to the standards of a nuclear war. In other words, even in the case of a nuclear war, it could operate on its own and continuously produce special weapons. Right now, the elevator couldn't be used, so Chen Jing and the others could only go down the stairs.

Under normal circumstances, there should be more than eight hundred people in the underground research institute. However, none of them ran out. The most likely reason was that there were no less than five hundred zombies left, so Chen Jing and the others had to be extremely careful.

The staircase down was about two meters wide. Chen Jing let Xiao Gang and Wang Lei lead the special forces team in the front to clear the way. Wang Lei had already fully recovered a week ago. To be honest, Wang Lei's talent and foundation were all top-notch. He had opened up the Ren Du and Du Meridian on the sickbed, and after recovering, he progressed with the times, becoming stronger by leaps and bounds. Up till now, apart from Xiao Gang, Chen Jing, and Wei Dong, no one else in the guards could beat him, not even Lu Min, who had practiced the Shaodong Sword Technique through cheating.

Following the first group was the second group, led by Talon. After Wang Lei returned to the group, Chen Jing followed the principle of good steel for the saber blade. He formed the four strongest guards into a special group, which was mainly used to deal with zombies of the second or third step that could appear. After that, he selected three of the stronger members to form the second group under Wang Lei's leadership.

It took them nearly ten minutes to walk the three hundred plus stairs without meeting anyone or a zombie. In the end, there was a one kilometer long tunnel, and the underground research institute was about one kilometer away. This design was mainly to prevent the drilling bomb from hitting the ground.

"Da Da Da Da …" Ten minutes later, as they were almost through the tunnel, there was a sudden burst of warning gunfire in front of them. Then a voice over the loudspeaker asked, "Stop, who is it?"

"We are the survivors from Little Qingshan's self-help camp in the company's canteen. How many people do you have here? How many zombies are there? " Although he was surprised to hear someone's voice, Chen Jing was still very happy, so he opened his mouth to answer.

"Zombie? What zombie? " The person inside muttered for a bit, then asked: "What's the situation outside? Was there a nuclear war? "

"It's not a nuclear war, it's a virus. "Biochemical virus, I estimate the entire world is infected." Chen Jing answered before continuing, "Can you let us come in for a talk?"

"No!" "But you guys wait a moment, we'll go up and ask for instructions." The other party replied.

In fact, the underground research institute was really a paradise. During the catastrophe, as the main passageway was sealed by a heavy iron gate, only the small ventilation hole was connected to the outside. Therefore, the energy fog that came from another dimension could only spread to the underground base through the narrow ventilation passage, and the energy density in the underground base could only increase at a very slow rate. Because there was no sudden change in the energy density, the life in the underground base didn't undergo any violent evolution.

There were both good and bad aspects to this situation. The advantage was that no one died and no one turned into a zombie. The disadvantage was that there were no evolved humans, which meant that everyone in the underground research institute was just a normal person.

At that time, the people inside instantly cut off all communication channels with the outside world. They didn't know what was going on and thought that a nuclear war had broken out, so they followed the emergency plan and started their own power supply, shutting down all the channels, activating the war reserves and entering a state of emergency.

"Who are you people?" Twenty minutes later, a group of people arrived at the exit of the passageway. There were researchers in white coats, employees in company uniforms, and two military garrison officers. The one who spoke was a man in his fifties who was wearing a company uniform. He had a head full of white hair and was a little over 1.6 meters in height. Chen Jing recognized this man. His name was Zhang Youquan. He was the Director of the Central Laboratory and the Director of the Underground Research Facility.

"Chairman Zhang, I am Chen Jing from the technological laboratory." Seeing an acquaintance, Chen Jing took two steps forward.

"Oh, it's Chief Chen. Hello. However, we are in a top secret location, so it's impossible for so many of you to come in. At most, you can only bring one person in." Please also understand ". At this moment, Zhang Gui fully recognized Chen Jing.

After Chen Jing said a few words to Xiao Gang and Wang Lei, he brought Wei Dong over.

In the meeting room of the base, after Chen Jing heard about the situation of the underground base, he briefly introduced the situation of the outside world, including, of course, the American satellite phone. Then, he said, "Chairman Zhang, everyone, the situation right now is very serious. There are very few humans remaining, and most of them are in danger of dying from starvation or being eaten by zombies at any time. In addition, we estimate that the government may not exist anymore and that we can only save ourselves under the current circumstances. "Therefore, I hope that you all can join our little Qingshan self-rescue camp. Let us work together to use this empty period of the zombies in the city to quickly attack and save more people."

"In addition, ordinary gunfire isn't a threat to zombies (Chen Jing and the others also received a small amount of gunfire and ammunition after taking down the garrison troops on the ground, but unfortunately, the gunfire on zombies is itchy and useless), so we need the special sniper rifle that you guys made here."

"No, those are strategic goods, none of us have the right to use them." Before Chen Jing could finish, the first lieutenant of the guard stood up and said.

"We don't have the authority to use it, then who has the authority to? Should I wait for your officer, who might have turned into a zombie, to use it? It's simply stupid! " Hearing that, Wei Dong stood up and retorted coldly.

"Wei Dong, sit down!" Honestly speaking, for people like them who hadn't evolved yet, just Chen Jing and Wei Dong were enough to deal with them easily. However, they were both rare survivors, and Chen Jing wasn't willing to do that. Therefore, Chen Jing patiently said, "You still don't understand the situation, but you don't know how terrifying the zombie is."

After a pause, Chen continued, "Let's put it this way. All of the zombies are extremely strong, and their bodies are made of steel. The hammers that hit their heads are five or six kilograms heavy. In addition, I also met a Level 2 Zombie, whose strength was estimated to be ten times stronger than ordinary zombies. A six kilogram heavy guillotine could only leave a red mark on the neck, and there might even be a Level 3 or even 4 zombie that we haven't met before. The most important thing is the number of zombies. According to our estimates, about 10% of us died during the catastrophe, and about 20% survived. More than 70% became zombies. Not only that, but a significant portion of the survivors had already been eaten by zombies, while a significant portion of them were about to be eaten or starved to death by zombies. Human beings are at a critical point in their survival, yet you are still telling me who has the right to use them? Do you think it's appropriate?

After a long while, seeing that these people were still as silent as ever, Chen Jing couldn't help but get angry. He turned to Wei Dong and said, "Wei Dong, bring the guards over. Stop them, kill them!"

"Who would dare?" The two officers stood up and pointed their pistols at Wei Dong and Chen Jing.

Chen Jing and Wei Dong did not care about the two small handguns. Honestly speaking, after evolving, handguns and the like were unable to deal fatal damage to the two of them. Furthermore, the two of them had opened up Ren Du and Du Du, training with the Six Passages of Divine Sword to increase their strength by more than ten times. Until now, it was difficult for the two of them to even scratch their skin with pistols and bullets.

Wei Dong smiled contemptuously as he stood up and patted his pants, then turned around and left.

"Bang, bang, bang …" The second lieutenant couldn't help but shoot when he saw Wei Dong ignore them. Five of the eight bullets landed on Wei Dong's body. Two of the bullets were in Wei Dong's hands, while the other one missed. These bullets, other than hitting Wei Dong's clothes five times, had no other effect.

Wei Dong rubbed his hands together before tossing the deformed bullets onto the conference table. He then clapped his hands and left.

"Ai, like I said just now, ordinary bullets can't do any damage to zombies. Also, I forgot to tell you guys that it's the same for evolved humans." Chen Jing pretended to be embarrassed.

Everyone in the meeting room had never seen such a scene before. In front of absolute strength, they were all dumbstruck. After a long while, Zhang Gui stood up awkwardly and said, "Chief Chen, look, we didn't say we didn't agree."

"Forget it, we won't care about anything. To us, all the surviving humans are valuable treasures, because they all carry the burden of the continuation of their race." At this point, Chen Jing suddenly thought of something. He quickly turned to the first lieutenant and said, "Comrade Captain, please send someone to inform the soldiers guarding outside. I don't want to see a few soldiers die."

The following matter was settled easily. The underground base, together with the garrison, had a total of 786 people who joined Little Qingshan's self-rescue camp. The base currently had several tens of thousands of special sniper rifles, as well as tens of millions of bullets. In addition, the rifles could be produced in a steady stream, but there was nothing they could do about the bullets. Therefore, Chen Jing decided not to use these weapons at the moment. Why? As the saying goes, if a person has no worries, then he will have worries close by. Chen Jing had read a lot of apocalyptic novels before. Who could say for sure that the zombie siege wouldn't happen in this world? Therefore, he had to make sure that he was prepared in this area!

Therefore, Chen Jing continued to appoint Zhang Gui as the commander of the underground base. He wanted them to speed up the manufacturing of firearms, and to research the manufacturing of machine guns with greater destructive power and more powerful rifles as soon as possible. At the same time, they also withdrew their previous guards. After all, they couldn't defend against evolved humans and zombies, and in view of the importance of the underground base, Chen Jing temporarily assigned Tang Lin as the guardian of the powerful Special Forces Squad 2.

To those two officers, they were Yuan Hong's comrades. The captain was called Qu Ning, the second lieutenant was called Zhang Xiaoshan, and Qu Ning had graduated from the regular military academy. As for Zhang Xiaoshan and the 16 remaining soldiers, Chen Jing selected two Sharpshooters to join the guards. Each of them was equipped with a special sniper rifle to provide long-range support to the guards.

The Ministry of Law Enforcement was renamed the Ministry of Public Security, with Luo Xiaohua as the minister. There was a court (both President Luo Xiaohua and former members of the Ministry of Law Enforcement) and a police force, which consisted of Zhang Xiaoshan and 14 other soldiers. Zhang Xiaoshan was the leader.

The self-rescue battalion added nearly 800 new personnel and a large number of weapons and equipment, which greatly increased its strength. It was a pity that these people were all ordinary people. The desire of the guards to expand had not been fulfilled.
