Chapter 1367: Chapter 594: I knew you were excellent, but I didn’t expect you to be this exceptionally good!_2

If these chunks of meat take an hour to burn into ashes, wouldn’t the zombies come five or six times?

Who can guarantee that everyone will survive each encounter safely?

If there’s a limit, like three attempts before the zombies start massacring, wouldn’t that be the end?

"Mr. Lin?"

Zhao Qing hadn’t finished speaking before Su Manni shoved her aside. "Big Cousin, what did you find?"

"Don’t speak!"

Lin Baici started thinking—was there a faster way to deal with these chunks of meat?

The word ’laboratory’ instantly popped into Lin Baici’s mind.

There must be plenty of chemical reagents in there.

Surely something useful!

Lin Baici immediately grabbed the corpse bag and ran toward it.

Tang Keke, Zhao Qing, and the others hurried to follow.

"What’s Big Cousin up to?"

Pony asked curiously, turning to Zheng Yu Huang.

"You really think highly of my intelligence, huh?"

Zheng Yu Huang rolled his eyes.

"Follow him, just follow!"

Batugel urged. All of them were cannon fodder and needed to stick together.

Lin Baici rushed to the fire door, unlocked it with a key, and pushed it open slightly to peek inside.

No sign of the dissection doctor.

Lin Baici turned around and surveyed the people around him.

Su Manni, Tang Keke, Zhao Qing, Zheng Yu Huang, Batugel...

These were the ones relatively closer to him.

But if danger struck, Lin Baici wasn’t sure which of them would stick with him through thick and thin.

[Tang Keke—soft, timid, purely clinging to you, don’t expect her to complete any task you assign!]

[Zheng Yu Huang, Zhao Qing—too calculating. No matter how nice their talk sounds, their own interests come first.]

[Batugel—he’s an adult. Can you really trust someone you’ve beaten up before?]

The Eater God commented.

"Why didn’t you evaluate Su Manni?"

Lin Baici muttered inwardly.

So, in the end, none of them were reliable?

Lin Baici couldn’t help but miss Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu, even Hua Yue Yu—despite her habit of constantly cheering on trivial matters. At least when given a task, she’d work hard to fulfill it and take some of the burden off his shoulders.

"Su Manni!"

Lin Baici called out.

"Brother Lin!"

Su Manni perked up but had a bad feeling, wondering why Lin Baici was calling her at this moment.

"In a moment, when the doctor comes out, I’ll sneak into the lab. You and Keke need to keep watch. If you see the doctor coming back, immediately bang on the door to warn me."

Lin Baici stared at Su Manni. "Can you do it?"

Tang Keke was just a backup measure.

"I can!"

Su Manni nodded.

"Zheng Yu Huang, Batugel."

Lin Baici looked at the two of them. "If I don’t make it out in time, figure out a way to stall the doctor and buy me some time!"

"No problem!"

Zheng Yu Huang gave an OK gesture.

Batugel nodded.

"Don’t just agree and then mess it up!"

Lin Baici looked at them. "You all should understand—our lives are tied together. If I die, you’ll all die here too!"

Everyone’s expression turned grim. Lin Baici’s courage and sharp mind gave them a sense of security; if he died, they’d lose their leader.

Besides, a dangerous task like this indeed needed teamwork.

"Help me hold the door!"

Lin Baici instructed Su Manni as he crouched and moved to the specimen room door. He pushed at the door, found it wouldn’t budge, and then aimed at the frosted glass above, channeling all his strength and striking hard.

Bang!

Crash!

The frosted glass shattered, fragments spilling everywhere.

After shattering the glass, Lin Baici darted back like a leopard.

Swish!

Lin Baici shut the fire door.

Everyone crouched on the floor, holding their breath.

A few minutes later, footsteps echoed, followed by the sound of the door opening.

"It’s gone inside!"

Before Zhao Qing could speak further, Lin Baici covered her mouth and shot her a fierce glare.

"I’ll go. Manni, keep watch for me!"

Lin Baici grabbed the corpse bag, pushed open the fire door, and quickly glanced around. Nobody was there, so he dashed toward the lab.

The door was locked.

Lin Baici used the key to unlock it and entered.

A suffocating stench of blood hit him.

On the stainless steel dissection table was a white cloth. Judging by the bulges beneath, there was someone there.

Lin Baici stepped forward and casually lifted the cloth.

It was Shan Chicken, a professional player from the OMG Team. Dead. His stomach had been sliced open with a scalpel, and the cavity was empty—his organs had been removed.

Lin Baici glanced underneath the dissection table. Six specimen jars were placed there, filled with freshly preserved organs.

"..."

Lin Baici thought bitterly that death by zombie might be better than this gruesome fate.

From the time the dissection doctor had taken Shan Chicken and Song Tian, only about twenty minutes had passed—enough to dissect one person. Song Tian and Deng Ziyu might still be alive.

Inside the lab, there was another inner room. Lin Baici glanced at it; Song Tian and the others were probably in there, but he didn’t approach.

No time to waste.

Lin Baici rushed to a shelf lined against the wall and started searching for useful chemical reagents.

Glycerin, ethanol, ether, concentrated sulfuric acid...

"This might work!"

Lin Baici grabbed a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid, kept checking, and spotted a plastic container labeled hydrofluoric acid. He promptly replaced the sulfuric acid.

"This one is better!"

Lin Baici picked up the container. He knew its corrosive properties were extreme; under normal circumstances, he’d need gloves and a mask, but that wasn’t an option now.

Time to retreat!

Lin Baici had been inside for just a minute, so the dissection doctor—or rather, the mortician—shouldn’t return so quickly. Still, Lin Baici worried: what if the mortician finished with Deng Ziyu and the others, and then came out to grab more victims?
