Chapter 1786: 431: Marching Forward Under Load_3

“Mama!”

“Dad, come save me!”

Mason Grant was also running for his life.

He knew there were other exits in this conference hall.

Surely, no one went through there.

At this moment, Mason only cared about escaping, disregarding everything else as he pushed an old woman blocking his way to the ground, stepping over her.

No one knew how much Mason regretted.

Had he known, he would never have participated in this cursed experiment.

Now Viola Thompson’s words had struck true.

Mason envied Alnwick.

Alnwick had the foresight not only to refrain from participating in the experiment but also to leave the scene immediately after seeing the news released by Viola.

Alnwick must be outside, watching the chaos unfold.

Thinking of this, Mason felt an unpleasant sensation in his heart.

He had thought that after participating in the experiment, a bright future awaited him, but instead, he had opened the gates of hell.

While running, Mason took out his phone to contact the outside world.

“Yes, the situation is very dangerous, there have been several stampedes already!”

“And now it’s not just Sana; those bitten by Sana have also turned into zombies!”

Soon, Mason reached the emergency exit.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Mason was about to pull the door handle, a chill ran down his spine, and before he could react, a zombie viciously bit his throat.

“Ah!”

Mason let out his final scream.

Then he collapsed to the ground.

He ultimately failed to escape.

This scene was witnessed by Piloy hiding nearby.

Piloy’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched.

She had not expected things to turn out this way.

The experiment was supposed to be without any issues.

But why had the results turned out exactly as Viola had predicted?

Was she really inferior to Viola?

Why?

For the sake of biological experiments, she could give up everything, but in the end, she was still inferior to Viola?

Piloy trembled all over, wanting to scream loudly, but she feared attracting the attention of the zombies.

Today, sixteen thousand people had come to the event.

Now, there were already over two hundred infected.

And the number was still increasing.

Outside.

The arriving rescue teams were trying to devise a way to perform rescues.

They thought of many methods.

But all were eventually denied.

After all, they were facing aggressive zombies.

The helicopter on the rooftop continued to provide aid.

But fewer and fewer people made it up.

Just then.

Another person ran up and yelled at the helicopter, “Save me!”

The rescuers in the helicopter immediately dropped a rope, and the person on the rooftop grabbed it.

At the critical moment.

A zombie burst through the door, grabbed the rope, and climbed up, grabbing the escapee’s ankle.

The rescue personnel turned pale, too scared to retract the rope further, took out a rifle, and shot the zombie in the head.

But it was useless.

After the gunshot, the zombie was still vigorous and unaffected.

The escapee desperately tried to kick the zombie off.

But no matter how hard he tried, the zombie remained immovable.

The escapee screamed in despair!

He didn’t want to die!

He really didn’t want to die!

As the zombie was about to climb up the rope, the rescue personnel had no choice but to take out a sharp dagger.

“Snap!”

They cut the rope directly.

Both the zombie and the escapee fell to the ground.

The zombie looked up at the helicopter, howling loudly.

The howl quickly attracted its companions.

On the helicopter, the rescuers could only watch helplessly as the escapee’s throat was bitten by a group of zombies.

Seeing that the rooftop was also being overrun, the rescue personnel had to report to their leader.

After a moment’s hesitation, the leader immediately gave the order, “To ensure the safety of the people in the surrounding area, find a way to close the rooftop door immediately! Do not let the zombies run out!”

The rescue personnel hesitated.

If they sealed off the rooftop,

wouldn’t that mean locking up the civilians inside as well?

But since the order was given, they had to comply.

To prevent the zombies from escaping, they not only locked the door on the rooftop, but they also locked all other escape routes.

At this moment.

They could only sacrifice the few to save the many.

After all, if just one zombie got out, it could potentially lead to Doomsday.

It was a risk no one could afford!

The people who had escaped looked at the sealed door, crying and pleading, “Please! Save the people inside! My girlfriend is still in there! You can’t lock the door! You can’t lock it!”
