With a clang!
Just as Bai Ye was wondering, the violent impact sound rang out again. Immediately after, the elevator shook violently once more, and a huge dent appeared on the elevator door. At the same time, the elevator suddenly sank downwards.
"This is bad!"
Bai Ye realized something and quickly leaped to the side, stepping on the elevator wall and jumping upwards. He broke open the inspection cover of the elevator door and grabbed the edge with his hands, flipping out of the elevator.
At this moment, Bai Ye felt an urge to shed tears. It was so good not to be a weakling. If it were himself an hour ago, he wouldn't have been able to perform such a move even if he died trying.
After climbing out of the elevator, Bai Ye didn't hesitate. He pushed off with both feet and leaped to the side, grabbing the iron ladder in the elevator shaft.
The very instant Bai Ye finished doing all this, the elevator finally couldn't bear the load and plummeted downwards. Soon, a loud crash echoed from below, suggesting the elevator had been flattened.
Bai Ye climbed up a section and then grabbed the twisted elevator door, forcing it open to the sides. As soon as the elevator 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 arts world. Bai Ye checked his breath; he was already dead.
Bai Ye looked back at the elevator door, which had two huge dents. They were likely caused by this man, but no one would smash into an elevator door for no reason.
So, a fight had broken out?
Bai Ye quickly looked around.
There was a small space in front of the elevator. The metal trash can and the potted plants on the side had been smashed. To the side was the office area of Zone C, with individual office cubicles.
Suddenly...
"Eight-armed Divine Fist!"
Bai Ye first heard a roar, followed by the sound of glass from a cubicle shattering all over the floor. Then, a figure flew out.
The person looked to be in his mid-thirties, with a robust build, also wearing a martial arts uniform, and seemingly from the martial arts world. He was in a terrible state, with a wound on his chest extending from his shoulder to his waist, bones faintly visible. After landing, he coughed up large amounts of blood.
Bai Ye bared his teeth and said, "It seems the Eight-armed Divine Fist isn't very useful."
The man lying 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 coming towards him.
Almost instinctively, Bai Ye leaned backward and pushed off with his legs, leaping back more than two meters.
The instant Bai Ye leaped away, a giant axe whizzed past where he had been standing and embedded itself three inches deep into the wall.
"Roar, ah..."
A low growl sounded, and an office cubicle near the elevator shaft collapsed. Then, a huge figure stepped out, crushing the broken glass.
It was a terrifying-looking zombie, over two meters tall, with monstrous muscles and rotten flesh in many places. One eyeball dangled outside its socket, swinging back and forth.
Bai Ye frowned. "Axeman?"
This thing had some background. It was a mutated zombie from a virus experiment, still a failure. Umbrella Corporation wanted obedient zombies with independent consciousness, so any zombie that lost its sanity was not considered a successful test subject.
However, the mutated Axeman was quite strong. While not as powerful as a Tyrant, it was immensely stronger than ordinary zombies.
At the same time...
The Axeman saw another person and instinctively walked towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye watched the Axeman with interest.
The man lying on the ground was now barely breathing. Seeing the Axeman approach, Bai Ye remained still. The man gritted his teeth and said, "Run, this guy's strength is very..."
The next moment...
The expression on the man's face froze.
The Axeman's massive fist was raised, about to smash down on Bai Ye's skull. But it didn't touch Bai Ye at all because, the instant the Axeman moved, Bai Ye suddenly raised his arm and grabbed the Axeman's wrist!
The scene was exceptionally strange. The Axeman's arm was thicker than Bai Ye's thigh, yet it was held firmly by Bai Ye's grip, unmoving.
Bai Ye looked down at the man and asked, "Strength is very what?"
The man swallowed, momentarily speechless.
But at this moment...
A gust of wind swept past Bai Ye again. The Axeman raised its left fist and swung it towards Bai Ye's face.
Facing a fist almost as large as his own head, Bai Ye released the Axeman and leaped backward, easily dodging the punch.
The Axeman was among the strongest zombies in 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 previous life were of great help to Bai Ye at this moment, as he clearly knew the Axeman's weaknesses.
This guy had immense strength and destructive power. His only drawback was his slow speed, even extremely slow!
Ordinary zombies already shuffled along, appearing quite clumsy. The Axeman's speed was even slower than ordinary zombies, so its threat wasn't as great as imagined. At worst, he could turn and run, and he would likely escape.
Therefore, the two lying on the ground had most likely thought they could defeat the Axeman and had engaged it head-on, only to be inevitably beaten.
Meanwhile, the Axeman relentlessly pursued Bai Ye, continuously swinging its fists, all of which Bai Ye skillfully evaded.
This seemed to enrage the Axeman. It suddenly reached out, grabbed the giant axe embedded in the wall, and swung it fiercely at Bai Ye.
Bang!
Bai Ye sidestepped again, and the giant axe slammed into the ground, denting the metal plate embedded in the floor. The ground below was also shattered, and countless stone fragments flew out in all directions.
Bai Ye curled his lips, still showing no signs of worry.
In an open space, that giant axe would indeed be terrifying. With the Axeman's strength and such a monstrous axe, one swing could easily cleave a person in two.
But the space in front of the elevator was small. Such a huge weapon couldn't be wielded effectively. In Bai Ye's opinion, it was better to use his fists.
As Bai Ye thought this, he took small steps, constantly retreating, luring the Axeman, until he reached the vicinity of the wall.
The next moment, the Axeman roared and swung its giant axe in a wide arc.
Bai Ye seized the opportunity and squatted down sharply.
Bang!
The giant axe passed over Bai Ye's head and sliced into the wall, and then...
It got stuck!
The giant axe carved a huge gash in the wall, but due to the depth of the cut, the axe head became embedded in the wall.
