Driven by sheer survival instinct, Darren grabbed a nearby specimen tray at the critical moment to shield himself from some of the corrosive agent, but the liquid still ate through to the bones of his hand.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Darren swiftly reached into his pocket, pulled out something, and gulped it down.
Zoe guessed it was a virus serum. Darren was completely insane. He'd rather turn himself into a mindless zombie than die.
After gulping down the serum, Darren instantly became much stronger. He smashed through all the lab shelves to block Zoe's path, then bolted toward the entrance he'd come through.
Though Darren was fast, Zoe could easily catch up with him. But he was also incredibly cunning—he triggered the self-destruct mechanism while making his escape.
If this place exploded, those viruses would be unleashed—and that would spell absolute disaster.
Faced with the choice between neutralizing the virus and tracking down Darren, Zoe opted for the former—this virus absolutely couldn't be allowed to leak out.
Zoe swiftly stuffed all the vials of the antiviral solution she had made into a cloth bag and rushed out.
The lab-grown viruses here had already been eradicated. Now, her next task was to destroy the corpses stored in containers—only by using the specialized disinfectant to eliminate them all could she ensure the virus would have no chance to spread.
Zoe emerged just as the Underground Kingdom forces arrived.
Shawn saw Zoe and said, "Go ahead and do what you need to. I've got this."
Zoe gave a quick nod and dashed to where the victims were hiding.
"Head to the lab. There's an exit route that way," Zoe commanded.
As soon as they heard they could leave, everyone scrambled toward where Zoe had pointed.
Zoe couldn't spare a thought for their safety now—she had far more urgent matters at hand.
All those containers were connected to dedicated pipelines for liquid injection. Zoe's approach was straightforward—she located the pipeline valves, poured in her specially formulated solution, and activated the system to replace the old liquid.
This way, the formalin inside was instantly mixed with the antiviral solution.
Zoe darted back and forth between a dozen rooms, racing against time.
Shawn faced off against over a hundred elite fighters from the Underground Kingdom, showing no sign of retreat. With every clash, he only grew fiercer, single-handedly holding back their entire assault.
Having cleared the final room of corpses, Zoe rejoined Shawn.
"This place is about to self-destruct. We must evacuate those patients now," Zoe said.
Those patients were VIPs—they couldn't be allowed to die here. Without hesitation, Shawn nodded, and together they finished off the remaining enemies before doubling back to the operating room to wheel out all the patients.
With just the two of them, hauling all these people out on hospital gurneys was out of the question.
Fortunately, both Zoe and Shawn possessed extraordinary strength. With five patients to move, Shawn hoisted one onto his back and gripped one in each hand, while Zoe did the same, lifting one in each hand.
They arrived at the lab and found the passageway Darren had used to escape. By then, the freed captives had already gone in ahead of them.
But just as Zoe and Shawn were about to follow, halfway through the passage they saw the crowd rushing back in panic.
This wasn't normal. Zoe and Shawn sensed danger.
"What's going on?" Zoe demanded, dropping the patients to the ground and grabbing one of the fleeing victim by the arm.
That person gasped, "There are a bunch of armed men blocking the exit. They open fire the moment we get close—we had no choice but to run back."
