Zhang Xincheng fired another round around the surroundings, then finally released his finger from the trigger. “It’s really gone. What’s going on?”
Ling Mo replied unhurriedly, “Looks like that’s how it managed to get in.”
But even as he spoke, Ling Mo was pondering… On the surface, the other side had hidden its form, but at such a close distance, how did it manage to hide right beside Ban Yue?
“And even Xia Na and the others didn’t notice her… It seems it’s not just simple concealnt, but more likely a special ability developed through evolution…” Ling Mo glanced at Black Silk, who was hanging in the air, winking at him from afar. “There’s only it here… It can’t hide forever, so what will it do next?” Thinking of this, Ling Mo glanced at the door behind him out of the corner of his eye.
“Rescue Ban Yue? That’s impossible, so the only option left is…”
At that mont, a dull thud suddenly ca from the main door.
“It’s starting again!” Ye Kai and Mu Chen, who had been standing behind the door, grunted in unison. This ti, the force was even more frenzied than before right from the start. Although they barely managed to hold it, it felt as if they’d taken a heavy blow-their reinforced backs and legs began to twitch and ache, and their insides heaved and churned violently. The cracks around the doorfra began to widen, and even fingers stretched in from outside, clawing desperately at the gaps in the wall, trying to widen them.
“Hmph!”
Xia Na imdiately swung her Scythe down. But as soon as the fingers were severed, new ones reached in.
These Zombies felt no pain at all; in fact, the fresh scent of blood only made them more excited.
After exchanging a glance, Xu Shuhan and Li Yalin each rushed to one side, steadying the tottering door.
But this ti, it wasn’t just the wall cracks. Even the door itself was being scratched.
“They’re focusing their strength on ramming the door!”
“And the wall around the door too!”
“If this keeps up, we won’t be able to hold out much longer!”
Ling Mo imdiately frowned… The door had remained closed until now because, although these Zombies had so intelligence and followed orders, they were still driven by instinct. When they all surged forward, not only did they fail to use their numbers, they actually got in each other’s way.
According to Ling Mo’s original plan, once the main door was breached, they would use the warehouse’s internal layout to maneuver around the Zombies, wearing down the horde layer by layer before finally finding a chance to break out from the rear. At the ti, that was the best option. As for places like the Dormitory Building… although the structure was complex, it was riddled with holes, and every small room had three exits including doors and windows.
But this plan was disrupted by two Senior Zombies in succession… Now that Ban Yue had been taken, they could retreat back into the passage again. But reopening the passage would still take so ti…
“It was that shadow just now! It doesn’t want to give us any ti…”
Ling Mo imdiately realized that it was Grey Shadow commanding the Zombies in so way.
“Quick on the uptake-after the ambush failed, it imdiately thought of a backup plan, and can even protect itself this way…”
This move not only stretched everyone thin, it also allowed it to safely hide among the enemies, waiting for an opportunity…
“But you’re just dreaming… If you won’t show yourself, let help you out.”
Ling Mo curled his lips into a cold smile.
“Awroo!”
Suddenly, a shrill scream erupted from the Zombie horde outside the warehouse, followed by a chorus of furious howls.
“What happened?”
Mu Chen, his face pale as he braced against the door, suddenly heard a strange sound not far outside.
It sounded like… sothing being torn apart… And right after, a large amount of blood began to seep in from under the door.
Moreover, the Zombies’ next expected charge also stopped at this mont.
“What’s going on…” Xu Shuhan showed a look of astonishnt, sniffed the air, and was instantly alard.
Such a strong sll of blood!
And… there was also a very powerful presence…
Surprisingly familiar! She felt like she’d slled this scent sowhere before…
“This is…” As soon as Xu Shuhan looked up, she felt a gaze upon her.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she imdiately closed her mouth…
Xia Na withdrew her gaze from Xu Shuhan and fixed her eyes on the still-shaking door, as if she could see through the iron plate to what was happening outside…
The mutation panda had charged straight to the door, smashed a few Zombies, then imdiately wiggled its fat butt and scampered off on its short legs…
“Forget about them, let’s keep holding the line! As long as we’re here, the door stands!” Mu Chen shouted.
“That kind of embarrassing rallying cry doesn’t fire anyone up!” Yuwen Xuan complained as he kept firing wildly through the crack outside the door…
Zhang Xincheng and the others also shoved their gun barrels into so of the wall cracks, pulling the trigger the mont the light was blocked.
In this situation, almost no one had ti to think. All they could do, all they could think, was just one thing: survive!
…After a brief commotion among the Zombies, they started ramming again, but within two seconds, the sa scene played out once more.
This ti, not just the Zombies-even Ye Kai and the others could sll the overwhelming stench of blood.
At the sa ti ca the even angrier roars of the Zombies.
Just from the way so of the sounds moved from near to far, it was clear that so Zombies, driven by blood and danger, were finally ignoring orders.
And without even thinking, it was obvious that outside the door, a truly horrific scene was unfolding…
The expressions of Zhang Xincheng and the others imdiately beca complicated… while Skinny Monkey simply stared wide-eyed, gasping, “I thought we were dead for sure…”
Yeah, everyone thought it would be impossible to hold out this ti…
“Now it should co out!” Ling Mo stayed on high alert.
Just as wary was Black Silk, swinging back and forth in the air…
“Choose, which one will you ambush…” Ling Mo urged inwardly.
Black Silk was urging too… except her voice sounded much more arrogant: “Co on! Co hit ! I look so weak! Since ancient tis, Lolis have three virtues: light, frail, and easy to push down…”
Countless silver threads were already stirring restlessly in her hair…
“That’s not sothing a Loli should say! Besides, at best you’re just a little girl!” Ling Mo retorted.
“The cherry blossoms of a little girl, blooming under the street corner, that innocent cry for help, yet unable to call out…”
“Enough already! Now you’re even singing!”
Yet at that very mont, a streak of grey shadow slowly approached Ling Mo from behind…
