Bang!
Just as Bai Ye was wondering, a violent impact sound rang out again. Immediately after, the elevator vibrated violently once more, and a huge dent appeared on the elevator door. At the same time, the elevator suddenly sank downwards.
"Damn it!"
Bai Ye realized what was happening and quickly leaped to the side, stepping on the elevator wall and jumping upwards. He knocked open the inspection cover of the elevator and grabbed the edge with both hands, flipping out of the elevator.
In that instant, Bai Ye felt an urge to cry. Being not a weakling was good. If it were himself an hour ago, he wouldn't have been able to perform such a move even if his life depended on it.
After climbing out of the elevator, Bai Ye didn't hesitate at all. He pushed off with his feet and leaped to the side, grabbing the iron ladder inside the elevator shaft.
The moment Bai Ye finished doing all this, the elevator finally couldn't bear the strain and plummeted downwards. Soon, a loud crash echoed from below, indicating that the elevator had been crushed flat.
Bai Ye climbed up a section and then grabbed the distorted elevator door, forcing it open to the sides. As soon as the door opened, a man in his forties fell out. He was wearing a black, form-fitting martial arts uniform, and appeared to be one of the chosen ones from the martial world. Bai Ye checked his breath and found he was already dead.
Bai Ye glanced back at the elevator door. There were two huge dents, likely made by this man. But a person wouldn't just randomly smash into an elevator door.
So, had there been a fight?
Bai Ye quickly scanned his surroundings.
There was a small space in front of the elevator. The metal trash can and plants on the side had been destroyed. To the side was the office area of Zone C, with its cubicles.
Suddenly...
"Eight-Armed Divine Fist!"
Bai Ye first heard a roar, followed by the sound of glass shattering everywhere in a cubicle. Then, a figure flew out.
The person looked to be in his mid-thirties, with a strong build, also wearing a martial arts uniform, clearly from the martial world. He was in a dire state, with a wound on his chest extending from his shoulder to his waist, bone visible in places. Upon landing, he coughed up large amounts of blood.
Bai Ye bared his teeth and said, "Looks like the Eight-Armed Divine Fist isn't very useful."
The man on the ground saw Bai Ye and said with difficulty, "Be careful."
The moment the other person spoke, Bai Ye felt a gust of wind rushing towards him.
Almost instinctively, Bai Ye leaned backward, exerted force with his legs, and leaped back over two meters.
Just as Bai Ye leaped away, a giant axe swept past the spot where he had been standing and embedded itself three inches into the wall.
"Roar, ah..."
A deep roar sounded, and the office cubicle near the elevator shaft suddenly collapsed. A massive figure then emerged, stepping on the shattered glass.
It was a terrifying-looking zombie, over two meters tall, with monstrous muscles and festering wounds all over its body. One eyeball dangled outside its socket, swaying left and right.
Bai Ye frowned. "Axeman?"
This thing had some background. It was a mutated zombie from a virus experiment, though still a failure. Umbrella Corporation wanted obedient zombies with independent thought, so any zombie that lost its sanity was considered an unsuccessful specimen.
However, the mutated Axeman was quite strong. While not as powerful as the Tyrant, it was countless times stronger than an ordinary zombie.
At the same time...
The Axeman saw another person and instinctively walked towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked at the Axeman with interest.
The man lying on the ground was now barely breathing. Seeing the Axeman approach, and Bai Ye remaining still, he gritted his teeth and said, "Run, this guy's strength is..."
The next moment...
The expression on the man's face froze.
The Axeman raised its huge fist and brought it down towards Bai Ye's skull. However, it didn't even touch Bai Ye, because the moment the Axeman attacked, Bai Ye suddenly raised his arm and grabbed the Axeman's wrist!
The scene was incredibly bizarre. The Axeman's arm was thicker than Bai Ye's thigh, yet it was being held by the wrist by Bai Ye, completely immobile.
Bai Ye looked down at the man and said, "Strength is what?"
The man swallowed, speechless.
At this moment...
Bai Ye felt another gust of wind. The Axeman raised its left fist and punched towards Bai Ye's face.
Facing a fist almost as large as his head, Bai Ye released the Axeman and leaped backward, deftly dodging the punch.
The Axeman was one of the strongest zombies in the Umbrella Corporation's underground base, second only to the Tyrant. However, in Bai Ye's opinion, the Axeman was not difficult to deal with.
Memories from his past life were of great help to Bai Ye now, as he clearly knew the Axeman's weakness.
This creature possessed immense strength and destructive power, its only drawback being its slow speed, or rather, extremely slow speed!
Ordinary zombies already shambled along, appearing uncoordinated. The Axeman was even slower than an ordinary zombie, so its threat was not as great as it seemed. At worst, he could turn and run, and likely escape.
Therefore, the two lying on the ground had most likely thought they could defeat the Axeman and engaged it head-on, and were consequently beaten.
Meanwhile, the Axeman pursued Bai Ye relentlessly, swinging its fists, all of which were skillfully evaded by Bai Ye.
This seemed to agitate the Axeman. Suddenly, it reached out, grabbed the giant axe embedded in the wall, and swung it fiercely at Bai Ye.
*Bang!*
Bai Ye sidestepped again. The giant axe struck the ground, indenting the metal plate three inches deep and shattering a section of the floor beneath it, sending stone fragments flying in all directions.
Bai Ye curled his lip, still showing no concern on his face.
If it were in an open space, the giant axe would indeed be formidable. With the Axeman's strength and such a terrifying weapon, one swing could easily cleave a person in two.
However, the space in front of the elevator was not large, and such a massive weapon could not be effectively wielded. In Bai Ye's opinion, it was better to use its fists.
As Bai Ye thought this, he moved with small steps, constantly retreating, luring the Axeman towards the wall.
The next moment, the Axeman roared and swung its giant axe in a wide arc again.
Bai Ye seized the opportunity and squatted down sharply.
*Bang!*
The giant axe swept over Bai Ye's head and sliced into the wall, and then...
It became stuck!
The giant axe cut a large gash in the wall, but because it had been driven too deep, the axe head became firmly embedded in the wall.
