The three of them followed Jack into the packaging room and were shocked to find exactly four hideous living corpses lying upside down inside. Jack had just fired four shots, and not a single one missed; all four bullets hit the living corpses right between the eyes, as precise as if measured with a ruler.
Thomas Xu and the others instinctively swallowed hard, which made their somewhat dry throats feel a bit better. They silently followed Jack, observing the factory. Thomas Xu seemed less restless; he quietly walked over to a pile of packaging boxes that were half his height, gently sliced with his hunting knife, and pulled out several white medicine boxes. He held them up to take a closer look and immediately shouted, "Damn, it really is eye drops! Selling eye drops can make a fortune?"
"Hey, hey, not all of it is eye drops, haha, here's cefixime!" Gao Chujing was also standing by a pile of boxes, holding a few boxes of medicine. After seeing the name on the label, he immediately excitedly called out to everyone.
"Cefixime? Isn't that an anti-inflammatory drug?" Boss Hu walked over with some confusion. He only knew about cephalosporins, but he didn't know if cefixime was the same as cephalosporins. He bent down, opened a cardboard box, took out a box of medicine, and examined it carefully, then said in puzzlement, "Why is it from Wujiao Pharmaceutical? Huh? The production date is actually from last month, damn! It wouldn't be counterfeit, would it?"
"No way? I know Wujiao Pharmaceutical; it's quite famous nationwide. It might really be counterfeit!" Gao Chujing also saw the writing on the medicine box. He frowned and dug out all the medicine inside, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't tell if it was real or fake, so he could only throw the medicine on the ground in frustration, saying, "If it's counterfeit, then it's not even safe to take; it could make you sick even if you're not!"
"I said this small factory can't possibly survive just by producing eye drops; they must be doing some shady business! This eye drop might just be mixed with tap water!" Thomas Xu also opened a bottle of eye drops and sniffed it vigorously in front of his nose, but unfortunately, he couldn't smell anything distinctive and felt that it was most likely just tap water or purified water.
Just as the few of them were loudly cursing the unscrupulous owner of the factory, Jack, who was looking around, suddenly frowned, raised his hand to signal for silence, and then whispered, "Wait, it seems like there are people inside!"
"Is anyone there? Where?" Upon hearing this, Boss Hu immediately put down the medicine box in his hand and followed Jack's gaze to look at a large white door across from him. The door had a sign indicating it was a sterile packaging room, but there were no windows on the wall, making it impossible to see inside. He didn't know where Jack had noticed someone and curiously asked, "Where is there someone?"
Jack didn't answer, but pointed to the bottom of the white door. Naturally, the bottom of the door referred to the gap, as the factory had the door half open and no windows, making it quite dim. A noticeable beam of light shone through the gap, indirectly casting two dark shadows, which occasionally moved slightly, resembling two human legs.
"It can't be a zombie, can it?" Boss Hu scratched his chin and squinted at the door.
"If it's a zombie, what will it do if we speak loudly here?" Jack smiled gently and did not answer the question directly.
"Uh... it must be someone shouting while banging on the door!" Boss Hu, being quite experienced, immediately provided the correct answer.
"Hehe, just go up and try it, and you'll know. Maybe it's just a deaf zombie!" Thomas Xu chuckled, put away his hunting knife, pulled out the handgun tucked in his waistband, and while disengaging the safety, deftly cocked the hammer with his finger. He swaggered forward, kicked the large white door, and shouted loudly, "If anyone's breathing, respond! We are from the Hope Project... oh no, I mean the Red Cross here to save you!"
As Thomas Xu shouted at the door, he kept his head down, paying attention to the two shadows reflected in the crack of the door. However, as soon as Thomas Xu shouted, the two shadows suddenly disappeared. He listened carefully and heard not just one set of footsteps, but it seemed that they were all in a state of panic.
"Brother Lin, it seems like there really is someone here! But why did they run away when I shouted?" Thomas Xu curiously looked up and down at the door in front of him, twisted the doorknob hard, and found that it was indeed locked from the inside. Then, he impatiently banged on the door with the butt of his gun and shouted, "You have two minutes to come out and respond, or I'll throw a grenade!"
Of course, Thomas Xu didn't have any grenades, not even one on Jack, but he just wanted to scare the people inside. He smiled mischievously, casually took out a pack of cigarettes, walked over, and handed one to each of them. After kindly lighting a cigarette for Jack, he smiled and asked, "Brother Lin, what kind of people do you think are inside? They must be very excited to hear someone coming to rescue them after being trapped for so long. How could they possibly panic and run away like that?"
"There are two possibilities!" Jack took a puff of his cigarette, slowly raised two fingers, and said, "One is that the people inside have been trapped for too long and have lost hope. Coupled with the significant shock they've experienced, they no longer trust anyone, even categorizing those who might save them as living corpses. I've encountered many such people in the past; they have become very extreme and their mental state is not quite normal! As for the other type… let's hope it's not that kind!"
"Which type?" Thomas Xu asked, stretching his neck in confusion.
"Alas~" Jack looked at Thomas Xu and sighed lightly, and couldn't help but shook his head, and said sadly, "Although it is Doomsday, it is a paradise for some people with psychological distortions, because without the constraints of the law, they can't control themselves. Desire began to be lawless. I met two highly educated lawyers a month ago. They were hiding in a leisure villa with a group of people, but half a year later, they actually joined forces to kill all the men inside, forcing the remaining more than 20 women to call them masters..."
"All women were chained up like animals, and were played with in their most perverted ways every day. As a result, half of the women were either played to death by them, or went crazy. Some of them resisted and were beaten to death. And because of lack of food, they Even the mutilated corpses of those women were eaten. That time I happened to enter that villa, they were just like here today, they didn't dare to open the door at all, because they also knew that once the door was opened, no one could tolerate them, and their behavior was unjust."
"Ha~ Is there really such a pervert?" Boss Hu held a cigarette in his mouth and said proudly, "I think when I was at my peak, I had nearly 700 women to play with, and it would take several days for one person to fuck me. Just like this, everyone sticks out their butts and rushes to fuck me. I'm not like them. I only need to flirt with the slave girl's tricks occasionally. If I play too much, I will become a pervert."
"Scare~ It seems you can barely be considered a good person." Thomas Xu looked at Boss Hu with a smile, and then said, "Actually, I have seen this kind of thing before. It happened in our gathering place. It turned out that there was a gang of more than a dozen small bosses who liked to play this trick. The women who followed them were all tied up with dog chains, and they were asked to lie on the ground and lead them when they went out. They acted like dogs, but their end was a bit miserable. Two women really couldn't bear the torture. One night, one of them touched a deboning knife. Most of the dozen men were stabbed to death by the two women. Although the remaining few beat the two women to death, they were still killed by a few Northeastern men who had long seen their displeasure..."
"Hehe~ This means you will be punished if you do no good." Thomas raised his eyebrows in excitement, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, raised the gun, walked to the white door and kicked it twice, and found that the door was not only very strong, but also very durable. However, it was still made of steel. He kicked it hard, but it hurt his feet. Thomas Xu had to shout angrily, "I'm counting to three. If you don't open the door, we will throw a grenade and blow up the door. After the blow, none of you will survive."
"Man, stop nagging them. Come here, I'll drill a hole in the door, throw a grenade in and blow them up." Boss Hu also followed up and shouted loudly. He winked at Thomas Xu, He took out his pistol and fired several shots at the door. After making a medium-sized hole, he deliberately shouted at the hole, "Throw slowly, throw slowly, wait until I make a bigger hole, then you can throw the grenade in."
