The male supporting character was actually myself.

After cheering himself up, he dragged his obese body and slowly began to climb up the iron frame.

Meanwhile, in the main office building, Bo Rui happily accepted the USB drive handed to him by the programmer. To be on the safe side, the data had naturally already been uploaded to the cloud drive.

This is a screenshot of real surveillance video of the actions of those hot young women sent by the human rights protection organization. It includes, but is not limited to, how they seduced security personnel, sneaked into the data monitoring hall, and then entered the command to open the zombie-confined cages at set times into the main switchboard, as well as some of their idiotic statements advocating that zombies also have human rights and should be granted freedom…

The people who went to the island this time were carefully selected to take the blame.

With their superb forgery skills, programmers can easily create the "evidence" required by their superiors.

“Very good, your task is complete.” Bo Rui took the USB drive, greatly admiring the technically skilled young man. He put his right hand on the young man's shoulder and asked in a low voice, “I have a big project that requires professionals like you. Would you like to work with me?”

The young man was clearly sensible; he immediately stood up and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your appreciation and guidance. I am willing to follow in your footsteps and create even greater achievements!"

“Very good, very good. Now press the button for the fireworks plan that I had you modify, and let’s say goodbye to the whole island.”

"Yes, sir!"

Without hesitation, he pressed the huge red button on the main control panel, which had lost its protective shield. The next second, alarms blared throughout the entire island.

"Fireworks program initiated. Please evacuate the resort island immediately. Countdown to detonation: 30 minutes!"

"Fireworks program initiated. Please evacuate the resort island immediately. Countdown to detonation: 30 minutes!"

"Fireworks program initiated. Please evacuate the resort island immediately. Countdown to detonation: 30 minutes!"

………………

Emergency alarms and countdowns began to sound from all the loudspeakers on the resort island, instantly enveloping both the inside and outside of the steel fortress in a solemn atmosphere.

Bo Rui smiled with satisfaction and waved his finger elegantly, saying, "No, no, no, young man, that's not enough."

He stepped forward, pulled out all the buttons hidden under the control panel, and pressed them all down. "That's what you call a clean break. Since the entire island will be destroyed in half an hour, let the zombies celebrate too."

After saying that, Bo Rui turned and left first, and the young man hurriedly followed behind him. The two took the huge elevator straight to the top floor.

"Holy shit!" Evelyn cursed after a moment of stunned silence. "What the hell is Guardian Angel Company doing?!"

Red warning lights flashed in the passageway, and devices hidden somewhere kept reminding people that the fireworks plan had been launched, interspersed with other warnings—all prison cells have been opened, all zombies on the island are out of control, evacuees should pay attention to their personal safety.

Mark, his face slightly pale, shouted to the three people lagging behind, "Hurry up! There's no time! There must still be a lot of zombies locked up in there, come over here quickly!"

The sound of numerous iron gates being opened filled the air. The handsome uncle, his body tense, carried a machine gun and aimed it back and forth below, reminding Jiang Chen and the others to hurry up and telling Mark and the others to be on guard in case zombies rushed over from other places.

"I want to hurry too!" The fat old man was panting heavily, sweat streaming down his cheeks, making his already red nose and face even redder.

He gripped the top metal bar with both hands, struggling to move his obese body forward, his chubby arms trembling. "It's so hard for an old man like me! Whew... poor arms... Evelyn is right, I really should lose some weight..."

"Stop muttering! Use your energy to talk!" Evelyn was getting impatient.

But she was just a woman with little strength, unable to bring her father over like Jiang Chen carried Julia. The sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard from the darkness below, and the stench of decay unique to zombies grew stronger.

Dad's only gone a third of the way; if this keeps up, he'll run out of energy and fall...

"Hoohoo!"

The zombies, who had been imprisoned in various laboratories, were now free and followed the fresh human presence and sounds. Their grayish-white eyes bulged out, their mouths were almost stretched to their cheeks, their skin was dry and sunken, and they excitedly rushed forward, sniffing with noses that almost exposed their bones.

Soon, the broken passage below was filled with more and more zombies, and the two sides were only four or five meters apart.

"Oh my god!" Julia trembled with fear. She looked up at the fat old man who was about to collapse, her voice trembling with tears, and tried to tear off the strip of cloth between them. "Jiang Chen, don't worry about me. It's too difficult for the two of us to get across."

You'll definitely be fine, I can grit my teeth and get through this on my own..."

Jiang Chen kept a close eye on his teammate hanging in mid-air, ready to lend a hand at any moment. Seeing this, he grabbed her hands and whispered, "Stop messing around, it's ticklish and it's affecting my performance. You're not that heavy, don't underestimate my abilities, okay?"

As the number of zombies grew, the little white cat trembled and curled up on its host's shoulder, too afraid to move.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

The fat old man was breathing more and more heavily. His arms were trembling, his hands were covered in sweat and slippery, his fingertips were white, and he was gritting his teeth and gripping the iron bar, trying to hold on a little longer, but the physical conditions simply did not allow it.

The constant flashing red lights and warning sounds throughout the passage made him extremely anxious.

"Evelyn, Daddy loves you." He looked down at the hungry zombies, some of whom had even begun to climb up their decaying bodies, trying to grab the living people.

The fat old man was panting heavily, but his tone was gentler than ever before. "This part is really hard to get over. I'm sorry, Evelyn, I may have to go see Dom and Herbert ahead of time. I will tell them that you love them very much."

When your father is no longer around, try to control your temper, forget about us, and find someone you like to spend the rest of your life with.

"Rosef, please take care of my daughter. I hope you can all escape and find a new life..."

Upon hearing that he was about to give his last words, Jiang Chen hurriedly instructed the Soul Artifact to prepare for his personal safety.

Unexpectedly, the little white cat cried and scratched its round little belly, "Waaah~ Host, this old man is so pitiful, let's help him!"

Before the host could even nod in agreement, it took out a button and threw it at the host.

One-time use D-grade item - Popeye the Sailor Man.

After using the item, the target will gain explosive power, applicable to their entire body. Note: The effect lasts for one minute; please do not waste time.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Copying Questions

The fat old man was in the middle, surrounded by crazed zombies, and no one could help him.

Seeing her father's eyes soften and his hands tremble as he struggled to hold on, Evelyn burst into tears. "No! Don't do this, Dad! Think about Dom! What did you say to him when you were training him to hold on a little longer? Please, Dad, don't leave me behind!"

"I'm sorry, Evelyn, I..." The old man's white beard trembled slightly.

He also wanted to climb over to be with his daughter, even if it was just to shield her from a bullet or a zombie at the last moment, it would be much better than dying such a pathetic death. But time waits for no one.

Time is like a butcher's knife, each cut aging us prematurely!

I'm already at my limit to be able to stay here and say a few more words...

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The handsome uncle fired a few shots, knocking down the piled-up zombies that were about to climb up. He replied coldly, "Uncle, you'd better grit your teeth and climb over here yourself to take care of your tough girl. I'm not into that kind of thing!"

The fat old man knew that he was trying to provoke him, and he had just opened his mouth to say a few soft words when, for some reason, a powerful force suddenly arose from his dantian!

It was an indescribable feeling, as if even my muscles had returned to their youthful firmness.

"Hey!" He leaped easily, his obese body almost flying, and with his hands firmly gripping the iron bar, he sped forward at several times the speed of before!

The handsome middle-aged man took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp. "Evelyn, look how effective my provocation is! When your old man comes over in a huff, you'd better protect me from him hitting me."

"Good job, Dad!" Evelyn, who was wiping away tears, looked closely when she heard this and saw the old man rushing over like a gust of wind.

As soon as he jumped onto the tunnel, Evelyn hugged him tightly, her voice trembling with excitement, "Waaah~ Daddy is still the best to me! A daughter is a father's weakness. Rossoff's simple words made you unleash your great potential. Daddy is amazing!"

Feeling like he had inexhaustible energy, the fat old man, who had narrowly escaped death, patted the handsome uncle on the shoulder with a smile, "Kid, that trick of yours really worked!"

"You're thanking the wrong person!" the fluffy ball meowed in dissatisfaction. "It was my host who worked so hard to get this item, and at this crucial moment, it was my soft and cute little kitten who gave it to you. Hee~ Look at how happy you are, is it because your father-in-law is increasingly satisfied with his son-in-law?"

The little white cat licked its paws and chuckled, "Master, I've saved an even better tool for you, do you want to use it?"

"Julia, don't move. We need to hurry and get out of here." Jiang Chen gave it a reassuring look and steadily climbed the iron frame, passing through with ease.

The fat old man looked on with envy. "Young people really do have better stamina. I was full of energy just now, but after only a minute, I'm already exhausted. Sigh... I'm getting old..."

"Let's not waste any more time, let's hurry up and go!" Duruer urged in a low voice, wanting to escape but afraid of being surrounded by zombies.

Jiang Chen put Julia down and gave the little white cat a look.

It suddenly realized, "Damn it! I only looted the yachts and ships, but the person in charge of pressing the button to start the fireworks project is still on the island! Half an hour is enough for him to escape, and... someone in charge of such a big project must be no small fry, maybe he has some good stuff!"

"Host, please be careful! Use your items as needed, don't be stingy. I'm going to intercept some enemies!"

He pointed upwards, and the little white cat's eyes immediately lit up. "That's right! Helicopters! Those things are worth a lot of money..."

Before the words were even finished, it had already hopped away and disappeared.

The handsome middle-aged man took the lead again, kicking the tightly closed steel gate, and then sighed, "Luckily, this thing is just closed but not locked, otherwise Jiang Chen would have a hard time opening it, right?"

The person who had tampered with the door lock beforehand and was called out smiled slightly, "Yes, that saved a lot of time."

Following the exit to the basement lobby, everyone discovered that the Zeus Building had a very strange design.

The floor plan on the wall shows no escape staircases on the basement floors, except for the elevators. And now, there's no need to even consider that the elevators in the entire building have definitely lost power and are no longer usable.

"What the hell?" Durul looked up, his expression gradually turning angry and desperate. "Did the person who designed this building have no brains? Why isn't there even a staircase? What kind of shitty exit leads to just a courtyard?!"

His description was quite accurate; the group of people were standing in a huge, open, circular "courtyard," which, from a certain angle, looked more like a gladiatorial arena.

From the first floor all the way to where they could shine their flashlights, everything was sealed off with huge, thick glass panels and intersecting steel bars as thick as fingers, as if they were worried that something might escape from here.

"Could we use firepower to create an opening so we can climb up the fence?" Mark immediately came up with a plan, then shook his head in disapproval. "No... this fence is too thick, and... the closest one is at least six meters high..."

Seemingly to make things more difficult for them, many zombies soon appeared wandering aimlessly behind the glass.

The group was so frightened that they dared not wave their flashlights around carelessly, lest they anger the zombies and attract more...

"Mark, quickly think of another exit?" Durul asked anxiously in a low voice, "This is clearly a laboratory down there, there must be people who need to get out!"

"It seems the Guardian doesn't intend to give those researchers any chance to escape; if anything goes wrong, they'll be devoured alive by the zombies!"

"What do we do then? In just over twenty minutes, the fireworks plan will start and blow up the entire island!"

"Mark, think of something quick!"

"We've come this far, there must be an exit..."

…………

The group of people were extremely anxious and at a loss, but Julia remained calm and composed, relying on Jiang Chen.

He just carried me up that dangerous place, and I felt so safe and secure. With him by my side, I'm not afraid of anything!

She glanced at the other person, her eyes sparkling. Her once helpless heart seemed to have found a place to rest, and she would no longer be as terrified as before.

"Where's the elevator shaft?" Jiang Chen waited a few seconds, then realized that no one could find the exit he had carefully prepared. He had no choice but to remind them, "Although the power system has collapsed, the elevator doors can be pried open. We can climb up the cable. As long as we can climb to a shaft and then pry open the elevator door, we can get out, right?"

With the standard escape answer given, all that was left was to copy the question, and then the others slapped their thighs in realization.

Mark led his team quietly to the location marked in his memory, trying not to make a sound and attract the attention of the zombies.

Behind each layer of glass, emitting a faint green glow, zombies roamed, their shadowy forms and terrifying faces creating an incredibly immersive atmosphere.

"This is it!" Mark exclaimed excitedly as he spotted the elevator in the corner. "We need to find a good tool to pry open the elevator door and check the elevator's location. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly!"

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Terrifying Female Lead Halo

Of course it will go smoothly, regardless of who prepared it for you.

Jiang Chen nodded in agreement and then sat and waited for them to "discover" the tools. Sure enough, everything went as expected. The handsome uncle turned on the fire hydrant, found a fire axe, and slowly pried open the special elevator door.
