It’s either this place, or they have moved the central place to somewhere else.\" Ding Wei argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this place is just a recent small business startup. It has nothing to do with any sort of government alarm or—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the female officer could finish talking, a sudden loud scream instantly caused them to panic a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit, Jing Cha! We’re coming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m good! It was just a rat running past me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the senior officer yelled back in response, the three of them all let out a small sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You found anything?\" Ding Wei yelled as the three of them continued heading towards where the voices came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope. Nothing useful in this dark ass room. You guys found anything useful?\" The senior officer questioned as they finally met up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them looked back and forth at each other as it appeared to them that the place must have been moved at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe we came to the wrong place. Let’s go back out and check again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them, including the cameraman, followed the senior officer back out into the building as they headed back to the police car outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Officer Jing Cha, have you found anything?\" Li Zhen’s voice suddenly appeared from the senior officer’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, sir. We’re still searching for it.\" The senior officer responded after picking up the radio from his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transmission ended before Jing Cha could say anything more, leaving the four of them stranded at the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are we going to do? Go back to the police station?\" The female officer questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What other choice do we have?\" A voice from above the bodycam questioned as the camera pans over to Jing Cha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding Wei, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no response as the camera pans over to Ding Wei, only to show him staring at the roof of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something isn’t right... That big satellite dish on the roof. What kind of small startup business has this kind of equipment in the middle of nowhere?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we already searched the place. It’s just an office building with a bunch of useless paper and computers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A one-story office building in the city outskirts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ding Wei raised his concern, the look on Jing Cha’s face began to change as if he started to buy into the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s right. Something is off. But where can we possibly look at that which hasn’t already been searched in the building?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe we missed something. We couldn’t see everything with the flashlight inside the building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are we waiting for then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female officer quickly entered the building, followed by the senior officer, leaving the two of them outside as Ding Wei continued to stare at the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding Wei, you thinking of something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no staircase up to the roof. No ladder to go up there either. Something about this building doesn’t add up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... Wait a moment, the area we searched and the building size don’t add up. The satellite positioning also seems to be leading nowhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the cameraman points his finger towards the window near the edge of the building, Ding Wei immediately seems to have realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit, that’s exactly what we missed! Good job, Mingzheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The footage of the video immediately began to fast-forward as it skipped to the three of them standing in front of the wall with the cameraman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sure this is the place we missed? There’s just a wall here.\" The female officer questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the only area of the building that doesn’t add up to the outside size. No one will build a support pillar that is this long.\" The cameraman argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re saying there’s a secret room behind this wall, Mingzheng?\" Jing Cha questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, the knock sounds a little hollow,\" Camerman murmured as he knocked his finger on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move. I’m going to break this wall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Wei had a whole chair in his hand as he banged it against the wall over and over again, only to make a small scratch in the wallpaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, this wall is a lot tougher than I had thought.\" Ding Wei murmured as he threw the chair aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surely there’s a secret door of some sort behind this wall if there’s something important here. Maybe we need to look around again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the female officer started using the flashlight to check around the four corners of the wall, they still struggled to find anything in the dark room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all stand over back at the entrance. I’m going to drive the car from the other side of the wall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You had to be out of your mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not asking for your permission, and I’m wasting any more time on this. Move out of my way, Ding Wei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jing Cha pushed all three of them aside, they all stood by the entrance of the room with the flashlight in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all nervous?\" The female officer quietly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope.\" The cameraman murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the worst idea ever.\" Ding Wei murmured as he prepared to cover his own ears with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, they could all hear the car roaring louder and louder as they waited for the impact to come through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The footage started to shake like crazy before going dark completely as the bodycam seemed to have dropped out of the police officer’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few seconds later did light reappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How the hell is the wall still standing?\" The cameraman murmured as he slowly picked up the bodycam from the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No clue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You three! Come out! The car breached the wall from the other side!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them quickly rushed outside, only to see a car that had created a massive hole in the side of the office building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a second, let me drive the car back out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a whole minute for Jing Cha to drive the car back out, the three of them could finally see what was inside the ’secret’ room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a room illuminated by a single light bulb, one that had a table and a computer next to a bunch of wires and a rack full of mysterious objects connected to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they managed to break into the room without hitting anything that could have broken the important stuff inside, outside of a few rubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding Wei, what is the computer saying? Can you figure it out?\" Jing Cha questioned as he exited the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m trying to read it... This is some seriously outdated terminal from the Cold War.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does the paper say?\" Jing Cha questioned as he looked over to the female officer and the cameraman on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some sort of government contract signed before the outbreak. Something to do with interpreting data with... space?\" The cameraman answered first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found a letter someone left behind! We 100% found the right place!\" The female officer yelled out in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does it say?\" All three of them questioned at the same time as they all instantly turned towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They said that this place is a space program to detect nuclear fallout, and they were forced to leave after running out of food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over to the corner, the footage shows a bunch of empty chip bags and a water bottle lying next to a small rat hole in the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They said they made sure everything could run smoothly even when they’re gone, and they said the project is in the experimental phase—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does it say anything about a password?\" Ding Wei interrupted as the terminal seemed to have reached a roadblock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, yeah. The password to the machine is 52826beid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ding Wei turned back towards the computer, everyone could see a bunch of indistinguishable white text running through the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just too blurry to read from the bodycam. Still, his hand was constantly pressing onto the keyboard over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You found anything useful?\" Jing Cha impatiently questioned again as he couldn’t understand any of the complicated text on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m looking for the alarm option.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The alarm option should be on the 9th page, option 4.\" The female officer murmured as she adjusted her flashlight on the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could have told me that from the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a few more seconds, the footage suddenly turned dead silent. The siren in the distance disappeared completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We did it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cameraman’s comment was soon met with an official answer as Jing Cha’s radio suddenly turned on again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job, Jing Cha, you guys managed to turn off the alarm... Do you know what the hell the alarms were for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For some sort of nuclear detection, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nuclear detection? Like in our country?\" Li Zhen questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know, sir... Ding Wei, do you know anything about how the nuclear detection works?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Cha asked as he covered the radio speaker with his hand. Looking over to Ding Wei, he was busy looking through the computer terminal.\u003C\u002Fp>",1581,"2026-06-10T06:59:56.420Z",1,"novelbin.me","c76082ea9880b19530d446068bfcb30347591da1558214cf59409fcb8110db57","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-637","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-636",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
