He gripped the fire axe tightly and charged head-on.
"Boom~ Crack~!"
"Pfft~ Sla~ Zik~"
"Bang~ Bang~..."
Although the fire axe was completely blunted from yesterday's battle, it was still quite powerful under Ye Feng's immense strength.
In less than 30 seconds, the more than ten zombies that had charged at Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao all fell to the ground.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao had already collected the supplies from the first Black Iron treasure chest and stored them in the spatial rift fragment ring. She was quickly heading towards another Black Iron treasure chest...
Meanwhile, Ye Feng stepped forward to inspect the passage from which the dozen zombies had just emerged...
A moment later, Xiao Xiao came to Ye Feng's side and handed him the two survival coins salvaged from the Black Iron treasure chests.
"This place... the door seemed to be locked just now, and it was locked from the inside. Was someone inside?"
After a careful inspection, Ye Feng frowned and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, are you sure the zombies came out from here?"
"Mhm!"
Xiao Xiao nodded. "A lot of them came out at first, and there was a commotion. It was a bit far, so I couldn't see clearly, but later on, I don't know what happened, the number of zombies coming out suddenly decreased!"
"This... someone went in there this morning and locked it from the inside?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng was puzzled.
After all, he could understand hiding from or driving away zombies, but locking the door to prevent zombies from coming out... that was a bit strange...
"Could it be that the person who went in there this morning didn't want this entrance to be discovered and deliberately did this?"
After scanning his surroundings, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Upon closer inspection, many obstacles nearby showed signs of being moved manually, as if to obscure this location. There were also a few zombies in the distance, leashed by their necks, roaring incessantly... they seemed to be used to warn anyone who tried to approach this place...
"Xiao Xiao, let's go down and take a look!"
After surveying the area, Ye Feng quickly made a decision.
After exploring for half a day yesterday and the entire morning today, he realized that although there were many buildings in this area, they were relatively short, mostly three stories high. The building where he and Xiao Xiao had spent the night yesterday was already the tallest.
Therefore, Ye Feng speculated that the main building of this research base, called Red Bank Ruins, was likely underground.
Thus, he decided to check out this underground passage. After all, three of the dozen or so zombies that had come out of this passage were Tier 1, and one was Tier 2...
"Okay!"
Xiao Xiao nodded, took out her Glock 17, and followed Ye Feng into the underground passage.
...
"Someone really came in here before us!"
After walking for a while, Ye Feng's guess was confirmed.
Because there were many zombies killed along the way, and the signs of combat were very fresh. The dust-covered ground bore clear footprints...
...
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao continued to walk for a while longer and encountered a very thick steel explosion-proof door.
"This electronic door..."
Seeing the keypad on the explosion-proof door, Ye Feng was a little surprised, because the buttons and the small screen were lit up, indicating that the electronic door was still working.
"Did the people who came in earlier go through this door?"
Looking at the footprints on the ground, Ye Feng immediately understood.
Immediately, Ye Feng took out his Tang knife and began to cut at the explosion-proof door. After all, he didn't know the password and couldn't get in...
"Clang~ Keng~ Clang..."
The sound of metal cutting echoed incessantly, especially loud in the quiet passage.
"What was this explosion-proof door meant to protect..."
Ye Feng, who had been cutting with his Tang knife for a while, was a bit dejected. The explosion-proof door was very thick. He inserted his over-one-meter-long Tang knife straight in, cut out small pieces, and cut a full circle. When he poked the Tang knife in again, the explosion-proof door was still not pierced...
"Clang~ Keng~..."
With another burst of metal cutting, a peculiar bright light finally emanated from the explosion-proof door in front of Ye Feng.
"More than three meters thick..."
After a rough estimate, Ye Feng was speechless.
He then sped up his actions, and soon he had cut a large hole in the explosion-proof door, large enough for one person to pass through.
"Big brother, the lights here are so bright!~"
As Xiao Xiao followed Ye Feng inside, she looked around and exclaimed in surprise.
"But there seem to be so many bones scattered on the ground... Are they... human?"
After a pause, Xiao Xiao spoke again.
"This passage..."
Ye Feng was also somewhat surprised. He had originally thought that behind the incredibly thick explosion-proof door would be an important research laboratory or something similar, but it turned out to be a somewhat narrow passage.
The passage was very bright. It looked like it was made of some kind of ore mirror, and the light illuminating the passage seemed to come from behind these mirrors...
On the ground were scattered human bones, broken into many small sections. The breaks were very clean, as if they had been dismembered by some extremely sharp blade.
"En?"
Suddenly, a strong sense of warning came from behind Ye Feng. He abruptly turned around and found a white light beam appearing abruptly from both sides of the ore mirror, heading straight towards him and Xiao Xiao.
"What the heck?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and cautiously threw a can of soda towards the light beam.
"Whoosh~ Sizzle~"
The soda can fell freely, and upon contact with the white light, it was instantly cut in half. The cut surface turned red and melted.
"Damn it, it's a laser!"
Ye Feng exclaimed, quickly pulling Xiao Xiao back. The entire passage seemed to have triggered some sensor, and dozens of lasers suddenly appeared on the ore mirrors on both sides, forming a net and hurtling towards Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao at the other end of the passage.
"This is bad!"
Ye Feng, who was now standing behind another explosion-proof door with Xiao Xiao, had a drastic change in expression. After all, neither he nor Xiao Xiao could withstand these terrifying lasers.
The next second, a flash of light appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and the Tang knife instantly appeared in his grasp. He flashed forward to about three meters in front of him and swung his knife towards the adjacent ore mirror.
"Clang~ Keng~ Zzeng~"
"Boom~ Splash~"
The Tang knife flashed rapidly, and the ore mirror instantly shattered into small pieces, scattering on the ground.
Then, Ye Feng leaped backward, returning to his original position. At the same time, he plunged the Tang knife fiercely into the ground, crouched slightly, preparing to dig a hole to escape.
However, fortunately, the laser net that filled almost the entire passage stopped abruptly as it reached the edge of the damaged ore mirror.
"Hoo~"
Seeing this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he had guessed, the ore mirror was the medium for the laser's movement. Once it was destroyed, the laser net could no longer pass.
Glancing at the pile of complex-looking equipment behind the ore mirror, Ye Feng picked up his Tang knife and began to cut at the explosion-proof door behind him again.
He did not choose to retreat despite the recent danger. Instead, he became even more excited, as such powerful defenses likely meant there was something good inside...
"Oh my god... this explosion-proof door is indeed as thick as the previous one... Fortunately, I chose to destroy the ore mirror instead of cutting a hole in this door to escape..."
After cutting at the explosion-proof door for a while and still not breaking through, Ye Feng muttered to himself.
"Clang~ Clang~..."
After a burst of intense metal friction, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao entered the second explosion-proof door.
What greeted their eyes was an exceptionally spacious room. Roughly estimated, the room was over 500 square meters, with a height of five to six meters. The surrounding walls seemed to be made of seamless metal, but there were large dents, as if something had smashed into them.
On the iron wall in front of Ye Feng, near the top, was nailed a metal plaque with the words "Gymnasium" written on it.
"Gymnasium? What the heck?"
Ye Feng looked around the room, frowning.
Although the room was very large, it was completely empty, with no gym equipment whatsoever. There were quite a few dried bloodstains on the ground, and there were also dried meat pastes on the walls...
"En?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng's expression became alert!
He noticed that the explosion-proof door he had just cut also had dents on it. Judging by the shape, they looked like... human fists?
"Boom boom boom~"
Suddenly, the wall on Ye Feng's right began to shake violently.
...
