Chapter 33: Chapter 15: The Rampage Period of Zombie Beasts_2
"A B-level research institute actually managed to produce such a data sample, itās a bit beyond the limit."
After entering all the parameters, he pressed the confirm button.
"Huh?"
A few seconds later, his eyebrows raised: "It seems I misjudged."
"The terminal is usually occupied by various departments, but now only our one is in use, so the computation efficiency has greatly increased."
"It might take less than 30 minutes to get the results!"
He told Ree Shil the good news.
"Really? Iāll wait outside for you then."
Ree Shil felt the room was a bit stuffy, and the low frequency sound of the computer running was also uncomfortable.
"Alright, but donāt go far, Iām a bit scared!"
After meeting a living person, Dr. Lee had become more timid.
But what he himself didnāt know was that as he shouted, a trace of black light flashed in his eyes.
"No problem, Iāll just take a walk nearby."
Ree Shil didnāt plan to go far, just take a stroll.
Seeing a lab across from the computer room, he kicked open the door and walked straight in.
He glanced at the equipment inside, which seemed to be like CT scanning, with radiation warnings attached.
There were a few protective suits like Dr. Leeās by the door.
But they were not complete sets, and there were no helmets.
...
On the other side, Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man were searching Dormitory Area A under the guidance of a Zombie Beast Hound.
Dadadadadada!
"Die, grass."
Straw Man was using a heavy machine gun to shoot a Zombie Beast.
Click, click, click!
With the sound of empty cartridges falling, the bullet-ridden Zombie Beast finally fell slowly.
"Itās not enough, grass."
Straw Man pursed his lips, tossing the heavy machine gun on the ground.
Luckily, it had replenished with milk tea, and its strength was fully recovered.
"Get on with the search, donāt dawdle."
Mossy Mushroom tiptoed, stretching its hand with effort to press the door opening button.
The door opened slowly, revealing an empty room.
"Thereās no one, grass!"
Straw Man pressed open another room, leaning in to take a look.
However, just as they were about to continue exploring the rooms behind them, they suddenly heard a sound.
"Did you hear something?"
Mossy Mushroom looked up at Straw Man.
"It seems so, grass."
Straw Man turned back, facing the direction they came from with his side face.
This was a listening gesture, even though it had no ears.
[Roar...]xN
But there was actually no need to listen carefully, as the sound quickly became more obvious.
It was... the roar of Zombie Beasts, approaching rapidly.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
In just a few seconds, dense footsteps followed closely.
A group of Strengthened Mourning Beasts wearing tattered white lab coats, about 2 meters tall, and covered in muscle fibers without any skin appeared at the far end of the long corridor.
"So many?! Cute Mushroom!"
Mossy Mushroom roughly counted, there were more than twenty of them!
"Rampage period, grass (cĆ o)!"
Straw Man suddenly noticed that their eyes were all blood-red.
"What are you waiting for! Run! Cute Mushroom!"
Mossy Mushroom grabbed Straw Man and ran.
There was a fork in the road ahead of them.
"One left, one right, split up and run!"
Mossy Mushroom was still rather calm.
In this situation, splitting up and running might increase the chances of survival.
Even if only one person survived, it would be good.
However, its decision was correct, but it forgot to calculate an important factor.
That was - its legs were short.
"No problem, grass!"
Straw Man understood, and started running.
In its view, splitting left and right and splitting front and back didnāt seem to be much of a difference.
May there be no Zombie Beasts in the paradise of Mushroom People.
"886, grass."
"Hey!! Thatās not fair! You traitorous Straw Man!"
The unexpected situation caused Mossy Mushroom to be thrown into complete panic.
With its short little legs, there was no way it could outrun the towering Strengthened Mourning Beasts.
It wasnāt long before their footsteps were chasing after it.
"Iāll fight you guys, Cute Mushroom!"
Mossy Mushroom gritted its teeth, pulled out its gun, and turned around.
The expression of a sacrificial martyr was written on its face.
Forget it, Iām not outrunning that piece of trash.
Itās just that I chose to stay and help my companion cover the rear.
This is selflessness, this is dedication.
Facing the first Strengthened Mourning Beast, it pulled the trigger.
Clang!
However, the bullet hit the ceiling.
In the blink of an eye, the leading Zombie Beast rushed to its face.
[Awoooo!]
Mossy Mushroom could see each muscle fiber on the face of the creature as it roared right in front of him.
The stench of blood and decay was unbearable as it grew stronger.
"I, a proud Mushroom Person, will never back down."
Accepting the cruel reality, it chose to squat in place with its head in its arms: "Please spare me, you handsome and dashing big brothers! Cute Mushroom!"
Never Back Down = Maybe begging for mercy will work.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon, it heard heavy footsteps beside its ear, the gusts of wind blowing over it from every side.
"Huh?"
Expecting to be torn apart, Mossy Mushroom looked up in confusion.
Just in time to see a huge foot coming towards him, it was from the Zombie Beast at the end of the group.
[Awooo!]
The Zombie Beast stumbled and fell directly.
"Ouch, what the..."
Mossy Mushroom also rolled a few times.
[Awoooo!]
It seemed that the reemerged Zombie Beast was annoyed, and it finally noticed the presence of Mossy Mushroom.
Its blood-red eyes stared straight at him.
"Waaah!"
Mossy Mushroomās heart leapt into his throat once again.
[Awooo...]
The Zombie Beast growled, taking one step at a time towards him, eventually looking down at Mossy Mushroom from above.
Then it lowered its head, bringing its face right up close to him.
[Awoo?]
After taking a strong sniff, the Zombie Beast surprisingly turned away.
Mossy Mushroom seemed to see a look of disgust on its muscular face.
At that moment, he recalled Director Jonesās words repeating in his ears.
Theoretically, as long as you are ugly enough, Zombie Beasts wonāt bite you and will even ignore you.
As long as you are ugly enough...
Ugly enough...
Ugly...
"Where the hell am I ugly, dammit?!"
He felt a sudden surge of anger.
Just as the Zombie Beast was about to leave, Mossy Mushroom grabbed its leg.
"Hey, you! Donāt walk away! Come on! Bite! Bite me hard!"
"Donāt go easy on me!"
"Cute Mushroom!"
[Awooo?]
However, the Zombie Beast merely lifted its leg and easily threw Mossy Mushroom off.
[Awooo!]
The scent wafting from a fork in the road triggered its frenzy, and it quickly chased after it.
Bang!
Mossy Mushroom was thrown against the wall.
His eyes widened in shock as he slowly slipped down.
Thump!
"What the hell is this feeling of relief+anger+injury?"
He sat down hard on the floor.
"Thatās not right!"
But on second thought, he realized something.
Since even Zombie Beasts are ignoring him, doesnāt that mean he is invincible in this Instance?
"Being despised doesnāt seem like a bad thing after all, haha."
His enthusiasm suddenly rekindled.
"Back to work! Cute Mushroom!"
So, Mossy Mushroom, full of energy, moved on to the next dormitory.
This dormitory seemed a bit different.
Proof of a fight was evident in the dried traces of blue light on the floor, making the room look very messy.
Like most rooms, there were no people or Zombie Beasts in here.
"Aiyo! Huh?"
However, as he turned to leave, he almost tripped over a hard object on the floor.
Looking down, he saw a hardcover notebook.
It seemed to be... a diary?
"Who the hell keeps a diary?"
Although he said this, he still picked it up.
He casually flipped to a page.

"...Itās just too shallow. I could do better."
He couldnāt help but complain after reading just a few lines.
However, as he flipped to the next page, several longer lines caught his attention.
