Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.

Chapter 107 Escaping the CDC (4)

......

"Sure, but..."

Jenner paused for a moment upon hearing this, then remembered Lee Allen's identity and explained regretfully, "We tried to contact the WHO, but it was all in vain..."

"Can you let me try?"

"Let me see if I can contact headquarters..."

Li Ailun insisted.

"..."

Jenner nodded, pointed to another workbench, and said, "The phones are all over there, the one on the far left is..."

"Thanks......"

As he spoke, Li Ailun removed Amy's arm and then walked to the workbench.

There were several landline phones on the workbench, each seemingly for a specific purpose. He picked up the satellite phone and dialed a special number...

Beep... beep... beep... beep...

But in fact, Li Ailun's call was not made to the United Nations Department of Security, because he knew that makeshift team was useless. Instead, he called his superior directly.

"..."

The others watched him with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, all believing that Lee Allen was contacting the United Nations, which might be their last hope.

Beep...beep...beep...

As expected, the call didn't go through. Li Ailun waited until the phone went dead before reluctantly hanging up.

"..."

Seeing this, everyone's face showed disappointment, as even the last glimmer of hope had been completely shattered.

"Oh my god..."

Jacques sighed in despair.

"Dude, I want to get drunk again..."

Seeing that all hope was lost, Daryl turned around and went back to continue drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Alcohol is now the only thing that can make them temporarily forget their stress and fear.

Meanwhile, Moore turned to Constance beside him, a sly grin on his face, and said, "Beautiful lady, let's hurry up and find a place to go all out, these good days are numbered..."

"..."

Constance rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. Last night's indulgence was just to release stress, and she had no mood to do those things now.

“Dr. Jenner, I know you've already had a difficult time, and I don't want to ask any more questions…”

"but......"

At this moment, Dale, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. He pointed to the timer on the wall, frowned, and asked, "That clock..."

"The countdown is on. What will happen when it reaches zero?"

It was only then that the others noticed that the timer on the wall had less than 50 minutes left and was still decreasing.

"..."

Dr. Jenner's expression changed slightly, and after a pause, she said vaguely, "The generator in the basement is out of fuel..."

On the other side, Rick noticed the strange look on his face and quickly asked, "And then?"

"..."

However, Dr. Jenner didn't say anything more to them. He simply left the control room in silence, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment.

"..."

Rick had a bad feeling because Dr. Jenner's sudden behavior was too strange. He immediately looked up and asked loudly, "Veigh, what happens when the power runs out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the AI's characteristically emotionless voice rang out:

"After the power is depleted, a full disinfection will be carried out."

"what......"

Susan immediately realized what was happening, and after realizing what she had thought of, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"..."

Seeing everyone looking at her with surprise and uncertainty, Susan said in a trembling voice, "This...this is a self-destruct program..."

Upon hearing this, Sean jumped up from his seat, knocking over the chair behind him, but he didn't even bother to look back. Instead, he stared straight at Susan and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Self-destruction? What exactly is going on?"

Mohr also looked surprised and doubtful, and instantly lost all interest in teasing Constance.

"..."

Susan quickly composed herself, reorganized her thoughts, and explained to them:

"Such institutions typically have a self-defense mechanism in place to prevent catastrophic power outages or external intrusions, such as terrorist attacks..."

"If the system determines that the organization can no longer maintain normal operation, it will automatically trigger a self-destruct program to prevent any organism from leaving. This is usually a powerful bomb, equivalent to a last-ditch firewall..."

"Therefore, we must leave here immediately..."

"Fake!!!"

"Oh My God......"

"That son of a bitch, he won't say a word..."

After everyone understood the reason for the incident, they were all terrified, and those with short tempers immediately started cursing.

"Lori, go pack your things!"

Rick's spirits had sunk to rock bottom. After shouting to his wife, he yelled at the others, "Everyone pack your things, we're leaving now!!!"

Sean reacted a beat slower than Rick, but after regaining his composure, he also called out loudly, "You all heard what Rick said!"

"Pack your things, we need to leave right now! Quickly!!!"

"let's go......"

"quick......"

The scene immediately descended into chaos, with everyone turning around to pack their belongings, eager to leave as soon as possible.

"Uncle..."

Amy noticed that Li Allen hadn't followed, and shouted at him, "Where are you going?"

Li Ailun said, "You guys go pack your things first! I'm going to talk to Jenner..."

He gave Susan, who was looking at him with the same puzzled expression, a look, and then ran straight towards Dr. Jenner's room.

"..."

Seeing this, the others didn't bother with him anymore and hurriedly went back to pack their things.

"Amy, hurry up!"

Andrea turned around and saw Amy still hesitating in the same spot, so she quickly shouted loudly.

"coming......"

Amy had no choice but to go with her sister to pack their things.

"..."

Susan frowned and pondered in the direction Li Ailun had left, but she quickly put aside her doubts and went to her room.

......

Meanwhile, Li Ailun quickly arrived outside Dr. Jenner's room, only to find that the door was not closed properly.

He saw through the crack in the open door that Dr. Jenner had changed his clothes and was now wearing a white lab coat, which was more befitting of his status.

At this moment, Dr. Jenner was sitting at his desk, holding a framed photo and staring blankly at the picture. His back view looked somewhat desolate.

"..."

From Lee Allen's perspective, he could see a woman's photo in the frame, leading him to guess that it was Dr. Jenner's lover.

As he reached for the door to knock, he heard Dr. Jenner talking to himself...

......
