The young prison guard's eyes were already red when he spoke of Dao Xiaogang, and his voice was somewhat choked.

'Although Xiaogang is the same age as me, he came in earlier. He was my guide when I became a prison guard. He taught me many of the rules. When I heard what he said, I didn't know what to do. At the same time, I saw the key and suddenly wondered how Xiaogang could have the warden's key?

This set of keys can open every door in the entire prison. It's incredibly important. Even the deputy warden would be in serious trouble for having it, let alone Xiaogang! He would become a prisoner instantly.

So, I panicked a bit and prepared to chase after Xiaogang to have him return the key. But I didn't know where he went, so I looked for him in the surveillance footage!

I saw him rushing out of Block One, which is the door you and I were just talking through, and Xiaogang, who rushed into the courtyard, was still shouting into the walkie-talkie.

I then remembered what Xiaogang had said before, so I tuned the walkie-talkie to Channel Seven, and Xiaogang's voice immediately came through:

"Dingzi, are you there? Answer me! Damn it, Lao Niu, kill Yong-ge! He's already mutated, hurry! Shit!"

Xiaogang's words were partly directed at me and partly at Da Niu, but I was shocked to hear that he actually wanted Da Niu to kill Yong-ge? Yong-ge is Da Niu's captain!

I quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted into it, "Xiaogang, what are you doing? Why kill Yong-ge?"

"Dingzi! Listen to me. The apocalypse has begun. Yong-ge is already a zombie, understand? The apocalypse is like *Resident Evil*, zombie sieges, the walking dead... No, these damn zombies are more badass than those ones. They're more like the zombies from *Dawn of the Dead*!"

Xiaogang immediately replied. His words stunned me. Xiaogang loved watching zombie movies, so he often dragged me to watch them with him during his time off. I knew what he was talking about with *Resident Evil* and *The Walking Dead*. I even knew *Dawn of the Dead*.

Back when we were watching these movies, Xiaogang would scoff and say that the zombies in American TV shows or movies like *Resident Evil* and *The Walking Dead* were too lame and stupid. If a real apocalypse like that happened, he would definitely be able to survive, unless he encountered the kind of zombies from *Dawn of the Dead*. That would be a real apocalypse.

But no one expected that Xiaogang's words would actually come true. That world had actually arrived!

I was a little incredulous and quickly looked at the other surveillance monitors. As a result... I indeed discovered that many of my prison guard colleagues had turned into those zombies. They were desperately attacking their former friends, tearing at their bodies.

Many of the uninfected colleagues were desperately resisting their attacks, but they couldn't bring themselves to hurt these former colleagues and friends. I found Lao Niu. He was pointing a gun at Yong-ge, who was rushing towards him, but he was just crying and shouting something at him. In the end, he didn't pull the trigger and was knocked to the ground by Yong-ge, who bit into his throat.'

Speaking up to this point, the young prison guard seemed unable to continue. He suddenly opened the drawer next to him, took out a USB drive, plugged it into the computer, and then clicked play.

'Forget it, just watch it yourselves. This is the previous recording, with sound. I never want to watch it a second time. I originally thought that I could just tell you about it and not have to watch this thing, but I didn't expect that as soon as I started talking... those details would appear before my eyes, even clearer than the recording!'

After clicking play, the young prison guard stood up and walked outside, saying,

'Call me when you're done watching. I'll be outside. My name is Ding Ning. You can call me Xiao Ding!'

"Bang!"

Along with Ding Ning's last words, the door to the monitoring room was heavily pulled shut. Li Chenzhou looked at the closed door and turned his gaze to the computer screen.

Ding Ning was right. The surveillance footage was quite clear, and it seemed that Ding Ning had recorded it himself using the main monitoring screen, switching camera angles. The sound was also quite clear. Perhaps the prison's surveillance system needed to know what the prisoners were saying in private?

The scene was as chaotic as Ding Ning had described, and the footage started right after Ding Ning had been pushed back by Xiaogang. However, Ding Ning hadn't been controlling the surveillance cameras at that time, so it had been using the view from outside the corridor.

Therefore, Li Chenzhou and the others could clearly see the scene of Ding Ning rushing out of the monitoring room, preparing to rush outside, only to be intercepted by Xiaogang and pushed back into the monitoring room. All of this was completely consistent with Ding Ning's previous account.

After that, Xiaogang rushed out of the monitoring room. At this time, he suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, looked at the closed monitoring room, suddenly smiled, raised his right hand, tapped his chest twice, then raised it to his forehead, joined his index and middle fingers, and swiped across his forehead.

After making this gesture, he turned and rushed out. Then, the scene immediately switched to the outside, but it was already the moment when Xiaogang was shouting at Lao Niu, telling him to kill Yong-ge.

After that, Li Chenzhou and the others saw what happened in the prison after the apocalypse occurred.

Just like Ding Ning said, many prison guards had mutated. They showed their hideous fangs to their former friends and colleagues, and those uninfected prison guards couldn't bear to directly kill their comrades and were just forced to defend themselves!

'Have you all never seen *Resident Evil*? They are no longer our brothers and comrades! They are zombies! We must kill them!'

After discovering this situation, Xiaogang couldn't help but roar loudly. At the same time, he rushed over, kicked away Yong-ge, who was lying on Lao Niu and biting him, then shot him in the head and pointed at Lao Niu, saying:

'See? Lao Niu couldn't bear to shoot his captain, and as a result, he was bitten to death! Moreover, he will stand up soon and become a zombie just like Yong-ge! If we don't fight back, everyone, whether it's us or those prisoners, everyone will die!'

"Roar!"

As if to cooperate with Xiaogang, Lao Niu actually got up at this moment and staggered towards Xiaogang.

"Pa!"

Xiaogang rushed forward and smashed the butt of his gun on Lao Niu's head, knocking him to the ground, pointed to his severed throat, and said:

'Look at yourselves, with an injury like this, is he still alive? If you call him, will he still answer you? They are already dead. They are zombies now. Kill them, otherwise, everyone in the entire prison will become zombies! We will also rush outside and kill more people! At that time, we will be criminals of the nation!!!'

"Kill!"

Perhaps Xiaogang's last sentence stimulated the other prison guards. Although they were prison guards, they were, after all, also police officers, also soldiers. So, a prison guard in his fifties suddenly let out a hysterical roar and rushed towards a zombie wearing the same uniform as him...
