Chapter 57 - The infected leave the cage

Colbert stared at the last page of the notebook in his hand. Suddenly, large beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and his hands suddenly began to tremble violently. It wasn't until a cold wind whipped his cheek that he finally woke up.

He hurriedly threw away the things in his hands, took out the walkie-talkie, opened the window violently, and shouted hysterically, "C-Team, stop all your tasks, don't open the basement door! Don't open it! I repeat, don't open the door!"

Then he looked out the window and Colbert quickly searched outside, trying to find the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot, but outside the wind and snow were blowing and it was impossible to see clearly what was in the distance with his naked eye.

At this moment, he felt extremely regretful. Why didn't he open the notebook first and read the contents inside? If I had known this would be the outcome, I should have chosen a safer plan now. Just wait for Team C to listen to your words and immediately stop the task.

"Sh~~Sh~~"

But what made Colbert feel hopeless was that no one on the walkie-talkie responded at all, either because the snowstorm also interfered with the signal, and only bursts of noise came out.

The few soldiers who were at the door looked at each other, wondering what kind of shocking information the commander who had such a strong reaction had seen, but they soon realized that it was probably not good news.

"Follow me and find the entrance and exit of the parking lot!" Seeing that the contact was fruitless, Colbert immediately turned around and ran out of the room to the stairs, and at the same time said again into the intercom, "Attention all teams, stop all your missions, leave the hospital to find the entrance and exit of the parking lot, and don't let Team C open the basement."

After the news spread, it wasn't long until the two teams looking up there responded.

"As I ordered!"

"Yes!"

Listening to the responses of the other two teams on the walkie-talkie, Colbert felt a little calmer and hesitated a little. He opened his mouth again and tried to contact the army outside: "Harry, can you hear me?"

"Sh~~Sh~~"

But the signal sent was just noise. It seemed that the walkie-talkie couldn't contact people outside at all. Colbert turned his head and shouted at the sergeant, "When you come out later, go straight to the commander and ask him. Move immediately and don't stop at the door of the hospital."

After saying that, he opened the door of the outpatient ward, and the strong wind from outside suddenly entered the ward, blowing up the debris originally scattered on the ground in all directions.

The turbulent wind pushed the sergeant back slightly. He gestured to Colbert and gave a thumbs up to show he understood.

He then separated from a few others and walked to the outside of the hospital, while Colbert led others to the southeast corner of the hospital, where the entrance to the underground parking lot closest to the hospital door was.

God didn't seem to want anyone to stop this good show from happening. Suddenly, the strong wind suddenly intensified, lifting large swaths of snowflakes and hitting several soldiers hard, knocking them to the ground and unable to get up for long.

Colbert, who was extremely anxious, had no time to worry about the soldiers behind him and advanced desperately despite the strong wind.

"I found it!"

Finally, after advancing a few minutes, he saw the outline of a downhill passage not far away, which was the entrance to the underground parking lot.

A few steps forward, Colbert was able to vaguely open a locked door. Moving forward a few steps, he could already see several soldiers squatting by the door, and a soldier was installing something under the door.

Seeing this situation, Colbert was shocked and rushed forward, waving his hands constantly and shouting to the two soldiers who were on guard outside and had noticed him, "Don't open it, stop the mission!"

But as soon as his voice spread, it was quickly dispersed by the strong wind and could not reach the ears of the two soldiers.

The two soldiers didn't know who the black figure that appeared in the snow in front of them was. They saw him waving his hands and realized that he was a living person. They looked at each other and simply pointed their guns, waiting for the other group to come, and at the same time informed the captain that this was the place.

Colbert was so anxious that he almost vomited blood when he saw this. He also knew that more words would be useless. Now he didn't have time to linger, so he used all his strength to move forward in the snow.

But before he could take a few steps forward, he heard a faint bang in front of him and saw a cloud of smoke rising from under the door. The soldier who was quickly preparing walked forward and crouched down.

Suddenly a dark hole appeared in front of Colbert, and for a moment he felt as if the world was spinning. In their eyes, it looked like the gate to hell, and they were the ones who opened the gate!

...

"As you command, sir!"

The Captain of Team C responded loudly with the walkie-talkie he was holding, then put it back on his chest. He looked at the crowded hallway in front of him and the vaguely closed iron door, and turned his head to look at the people behind. He said, "Come on, let's get into the parking lot on the outside."

He led the brothers behind him and retraced his steps to the lobby of the outpatient department. He remembered in his mind the map of the hospital that Chief Colbert showed them just now. After briefly identifying the address, he opened the door and walked in.

Heading southeast of the hospital, it didn't take long for them to find a slope, which was the passage to the underground parking lot.

"You two are on guard here."

Giving orders to the last two soldiers who arrived, he turned his head and looked at the hard and fast door in front of him. He turned his head and said to a fat soldier next to him, "Go and report to the commander that we have reached the entrance and exit of the parking lot."

Then his eyes scanned the speedy door and stopped at a place with an obvious gap. Then he pointed to the place and said to the three remaining soldiers, "Get things ready and install them here."

"Yes!"

Seeing the people behind him occupied, the captain took a few steps forward and walked back and forth in front of the door. He always felt that something was wrong, which made him think deeply.

"Hiss~."

"Huh?" At this moment, he suddenly heard a small hissing sound coming from behind the door, which suddenly shocked him and stopped him immediately.

But I didn't know it was because the wind was too strong. When he listened carefully, the sound never appeared again.

"Did I hear wrong?" the captain muttered to himself, secretly thinking that he might have heard wrong, but as a precaution, he still tilted his head and rested his ears on it, hoping to hear clearly what was going on inside.

"Captain, what are you doing?"

Just as he closed his eyes and wanted to listen carefully, a voice from the other ear interrupted him.

He turned his head and looked around. It was the fat soldier he sent to contact him. He said with some dissatisfaction, "Didn't I ask you to report? Are you still here?"

Seeing that the captain looked angry, the fat soldier quickly explained, "I went to report, but... the walkie-talkie could not locate..."

"What?"

Hearing this, he turned his head away, straightened up, and quickly walked out of the hall. At the same time, he took out his walkie-talkie and said as he walked, "Calling, Chief Colbert, we are Team C here. If you listen please respond."

"Sh~~Sh~~"

Hearing the noise coming from the intercom, he frowned slightly, and quickly asked again, but still only noise came out.

"Communication was clearly open just now, why isn't it working now?"

Seeing that they couldn't contact him, the captain reluctantly put down the walkie-talkie in his hand and said to the soldiers behind him, "How are you? Are you ready?"

No matter what, let's enter the underground parking lot first and try to make contact when we enter.

"Done!"

Several soldiers made a gesture of approval and then went about their duties. It took them less than three minutes to set things up in the designated spots.

"Okay, then put on the gas masks." Seeing that the preparations were completed, the captain turned around and walked back towards the hard and fast gate.

What he didn't notice was that just as he turned around, a figure vaguely appeared in the snow flying behind him, rushing towards here.

After hearing the order, the soldiers took out their gas masks and put them on. They stepped back a little and walked away from the speedy gate. They raised their rifles and pointed the barrel at the speedy door to prevent anything from suddenly coming out of the interior.

One of the soldiers holding a remote controlled decisively pressed the remote control in his hand when he saw that his comrade was ready.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the place where it was installed exploded violently, followed by a burst of light smoke, exposing the electronic structure inside.

Seeing that the control unit was destroyed, the captain shouted to the soldier holding the remote control, "Go, push the door up!"

The soldier did not hesitate. He stepped forward and crouched down, inserting his fingers into the gap, pushing up hard halfway.

"Alert!"

Seeing the door open, the captain shouted, raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed inwards like the other soldiers, and at the same time turned on the flashlight to illuminate the interior.

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, no anomalies were seen inside. This made everyone relax a bit and they slowly lowered the muzzle of the gun.

"Tap! Tap!"

"Shii-!"

But just when everyone was relieved, deafening footsteps suddenly came from the depths of darkness, like thousands of troops, causing the ground to shake slightly. Then countless figures appeared from the deep darkness, desperately rushing towards the light.

Inside the parking lot where the soldiers looked on in horror, the ugly and ferocious faces of the infected appeared in their fearful pupils, growing larger and closer...

"Fire!"

"Da, da, da—!"
