Whole Corpse Evolution

Chapter 166 166. Outside the Stronghold

After Zhao Yong finished speaking, he turned around and walked to a panel next to the door to operate.
I saw him standing in front of the panel and operating for a while, inputting his password, fingerprints, irises, and even biting his finger to squeeze out a drop of blood onto the panel to complete the verification.

After waiting patiently for a few seconds, the screen on the panel lit up with a green light, and the four characters "verification passed" were displayed on it. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gears turning in the empty room.

The clicking sound didn't last long, and it stopped soon, which caught Ming Nan who thought the ground in the center of the hall would open unexpectedly.
Just as the gears stopped turning, Zhao Yong took the lead and walked to the center of the hall.

Seeing the students who were still standing there in a daze, Zhao Yong waved at them and said, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and follow!"

All the corpses hurried to Zhao Yong's side as if waking up from a dream, only to see that when the last student stepped into the center of the hall, the ground they were on suddenly shook.
Then the click sounded again, and the gears began to rotate,
Bang!

Just as he stabilized his figure, Ming Nan obviously felt the place where they were standing slowly sinking with a violent shaking.
As the ground where Ming Nan and the others were located descended, the already faint light was completely swallowed up by the darkness, and Ming Nan and the others fell into darkness.

Fortunately, the darkness did not affect their vision, and all the students' eyes were full of curiosity. However, as the ground dropped, all that appeared around them were reinforced black iron walls.
As time went by, the elevator descended faster and faster, and Zhao Yong, as if he didn't notice everything around him, stood there with his eyes closed, waiting to reach his destination.

After about 3 minutes, the lifting platform finally stopped and reached the destination.

Looking at the two-lane wide tunnel in front of him, Ming Nan and other corpses were unknown, so all eyes were on Zhao Yong, waiting for his next instruction.

Zhao Yong seemed to turn a blind eye to the eyes of the students, and didn't give them the slightest thought of explaining. The moment the lifting platform stopped, he walked forward.

"Mingnan?"

Looking at Guan Lingyu who was looking at him curiously, Ming Nan shrugged and followed Zhao Yong in front without answering.

Seeing this, Guan Lingyu had no choice but to pull Fu Ji beside him and follow Ming Nan.

Along the way, Ming Nan found that the surroundings of the entire tunnel were reinforced with that kind of pitch-black steel. There were no corpses in the tunnel. A group of corpses walked in the tunnel. Even if there were no corpses talking, the sound of single footsteps was unusually abrupt.

In this way, after walking behind Zhao Yong for about twenty minutes, the group of corpses reached the end of the tunnel.

Calculating silently in his heart, Ming Nan estimated that according to their walking speed just now, they had probably left the stronghold for about three kilometers.

As for the out-of-control people surrounding the stronghold, Ming Nan slightly recalled that the area surrounded by them was about one kilometer outside the stronghold city.
So at this moment, above their location, it was obvious that the out-of-control person was out of the circle.

Carefully observing the surrounding environment, and looking up at the top of their heads, Ming Nan found that there was a small hole above their heads that was wide enough for two corpses, and a row of "U" could be vaguely seen on the edge of the small hole. Shaped iron nails form a ladder on it, extending upwards.

As if he had turned into a corpse, Zhao Yong still didn't say anything, he jumped on the spot, grabbed the end of the ladder, and began to climb up.

Seeing this, the other corpses looked at each other for a while, and then they all followed suit, jumping onto the ladder one by one, and began to climb up.

Thinking that it still took about 3 minutes to reach the unknown depth of the ground using the lifting platform at a moderate speed.
At this time, let them climb up with bare hands, and all the corpses felt numb for a while, and they didn't know how long it would take to climb back to the ground.

Fortunately, they have all completed their evolution, and their physical strength is not bad. As for how many of them can easily reach the ground, it depends on how deep it is from the ground.

After an hour and a half,
Ming Nan and the other corpses finally returned to the ground. It only took 3 minutes to get down, but it took them more than sixty times longer to climb up.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Ming Nan found that this place seemed to be in a cave, and the cave they were in was hidden in a corner of the cave.

There was a large stone that had been removed next to the entrance of the cave where they came out. Apparently, this stone was originally pressed against the entrance of the cave to hide it.

At this moment, except for a few corpses, most of the corpses are as tired as dead dogs, lying limp on the ground, gasping for breath, recovering their strength.

In the process of climbing just now, Ming Nan roughly estimated the distance between the ground and the ground.
Calculated based on the 50 cm distance between each U-shaped iron, the "steps" they climbed just now have a total of more than 2000 steps!

1000 meters!
You know, this is not an ordinary mountain climbing, but a vertical climb purely by arm strength, and because there is only one "road", as long as one corpse in the middle can't climb and stops to rest, all the corpses behind him will be delayed time,

So it is very rare to be able to climb the distance of this kilometer in one and a half hours.

It is impossible to imagine how this kilometer-deep and three-kilometer-long tunnel was excavated...

After standing still and waiting for 10 minutes, giving the students enough time to rest, Zhao Yong said slowly, "This is one of the entrances and exits of the stronghold. Expose the location of this location!"

"If this place is exposed because of one of your corpses, even if he successfully escapes back to the stronghold, I will kill him personally!"

"Let's go after enough rest, and the last corpse will cover the stone back!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yong took the lead in walking forward without giving them any chance to speak.

Following Zhao Yong, along the winding road, Ming Nan was even more sure that they were in a cave at this time.

Sure enough, as Ming Nan guessed, within a few minutes, Ming Nan and the others followed Zhao Yong to the entrance of the cave.

Listening to the wailing from a distance, even though it was three kilometers away from the stronghold,

However, the deafening howls of hundreds of millions of out-of-control people still reached their ears.

At this moment, Ming Nan and the others appeared on a small hill made up of piles of rubble. The rubble was disorganized, but it concealed the location of the cave entrance in a disguised form.
In front of their eyes, the scene they saw was in ruins, with almost no grass growing. Even if there were trees, almost all of them had withered and withered, leaving only a bleak patch of broken roots and branches.

Occasionally a gust of cool wind blows up an inch of soil,
Cooperating with the gray sky, everything looks extremely desolate and dead silent...

It may be because all the out-of-control people gathered at the stronghold, but Ming Nan and the others did not notice any shadows of out-of-control people around them.

However, this was the first time they stepped out of the stronghold, so they didn't dare to relax in the slightest. All the corpses looked at everything around them vigilantly.
