Chapter 22

That's right!

Chen Ye chose to break into a private residence to steal guns!!

He had already checked the shops in the safe zone and found that they didn't sell such dangerous items.

And he couldn't bring real-world firearms into the Reincarnation Space, so he had to steal them himself.

The Sam Empire, known as the land of freedom.

Here, civilians are allowed to own firearms as long as they are citizens and at least twenty-two years old, they can buy guns from legitimate stores.

A country flooded with guns!

Almost every household has firearms!

"Uh..."

The white woman hesitated for a moment, but seeing the fierce look in Chen Ye's eyes, she quickly said, "In the drawer in the bedroom!!"

At this moment, Chen Ye's appearance was that of a burly man (thanks to the system). His glare was indeed intimidating.

"Take me there… Remember, no tricks. I just want the gun. Don't make me hurt you or your husband!!"

"Okay! Okay! I'll take you..."

With the white woman's cooperation, Chen Ye quickly got his hands on a firearm.

A Beretta M92F handgun!!

The magazine still had six bullets.

Seeing Chen Ye nod in satisfaction, the white woman tentatively asked, "Sir, you've got what you wanted. Please let us go..."

Chen Ye nodded, then struck the back of the woman's head, knocking her out.

He did this to prevent her from immediately calling the police and causing trouble for him.

As for her calling the police after she woke up… by then, the entire city would have become a playground for zombies, and the presence of the police would be questionable.

Afterwards, Chen Ye took some cash from the couple's pockets and left through the front door.

Out on the street, Chen Ye hailed a taxi.

"Hello, buddy. Where to?" The driver was a young black man.

"The CDC!"

"Oh… buddy, you don't have some infectious disease, do you?"

"I'm perfectly healthy!"

Chen Ye took out all the cash and waved it in front of the driver. "Get me to the CDC in ten minutes, and it's all yours!"

"No problem! Sir, please buckle up!"

…

Eight minutes later.

Chen Ye tossed the cash and got out of the car, quickly walking into the CDC.

There were still a few minutes left before the zombie virus outbreak.

He needed to find what he was looking for quickly.

So, what exactly did Chen Ye want at the CDC?

Anyone who's seen the movie "World War Z" would remember a crucial point.

In this world, while the zombies were incredibly fierce, possibly the strongest zombies ever, they had a fatal flaw…

They only attacked healthy humans!!

Humans with diseases were not targeted by the zombies.

The sicker a person was, the more the zombies avoided them.

This setting was quite bizarre!

Such a powerful zombie virus, yet it despised or even feared other viruses or diseased cells… the scriptwriter's logic was indeed unique.

In the original plot, the protagonist Gerry Lane discovered this, then organized the surviving humans to drive the zombies out of the human cities, becoming the savior…

A very clichéd storyline.

However.

This didn't concern Chen Ye.

His task was to survive and kill zombies.

Knowing the plot, he understood that the best way was to infect himself with a disease, making the zombies avoid him.

Then!

He could hunt zombies boldly without fear of being surrounded.

So, Chen Ye came to the CDC.

Afraid that the doctors wouldn't cooperate, Chen Ye brought a gun…

This was Chen Ye's plan!!

…

As soon as he entered the CDC lobby, a blonde nurse approached him.

"Hello, sir. How can I help you?"

Chen Ye ignored the nurse and fixed his gaze on a middle-aged doctor in a white coat with a name tag.

The next moment.

To the nurse's horror, Chen Ye pulled out his gun, approached the middle-aged doctor, grabbed him, and fired a shot into the air!

"Bang!"

The loud gunshot echoed through the lobby.

"Ah!!!"

The nurse screamed in terror.

The entire CDC lobby fell into panic, with all patients and medical staff dropping to the ground.

It seemed.

People in the "land of freedom" were well-versed in handling shootings, knowing that the first response should be to drop to the ground to avoid stray bullets, rather than running around like headless chickens...

The shot Chen Ye fired was merely a warning.

He had no time to waste negotiating, so he resorted to force right away.

Chen Ye then lifted the cowering middle-aged doctor, pointing the gun at his head.

"Hello, doctor. From now on, whatever I say, you do exactly as told, or I can't guarantee your head won't explode," Chen Ye threatened.

"Okay, okay…" The middle-aged doctor trembled with fear.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Now, take me to the virus lab!"
