The zombies outside were already lurking around, poised to attack.
The scent of blood drifting out was practically an invitation to a feast for them.
"Awooo!"
Countless zombies immediately became excited.
They let out guttural roars.
Myriad pale green eyes, on faces still oozing pus, instantly filled the small window.
"Garrrh!"
More zombies swarmed in.
The terrifying zombie noises grew denser, sounding as if they were surrounding the entire stadium.
"Damn it!" Li Xiaotian cursed, his hand shaking as he held his knife, listening to the sounds around him.
"Clang!"
Zombies began to violently slam against the door!
Then, with a "splish," one was cut in half by the door.
Li Xiaotian's eyes lit up.
"Brother!" Li Wen came running, a look of panicked desperation on his face. "What do we do now? We're doomed!"
"Don't panic. Look at this door. It seems the zombies outside can't get in.
Did Mo Chen do something to it last time?"
Li Wen also heard the commotion outside, and his eyes brightened.
"You're right! Brother, you have sharp eyes! Then let's try to hold this corner with our brothers first?"
Li Xiaotian nodded, touching the fresh wound on his hand.
/
A figure descended like a demon, wielding two knives in each hand.
Instantly dispatching the zombies surging around him.
Mo Chen had arrived!
Without hesitation, he hoisted Luo Xiaole over his shoulder.
He clapped Luo Shu on the shoulder, signaling him to retreat.
Luo Shu nodded in understanding and quickly withdrew his small knife from the chest of a nearby zombie.
He ran frantically behind Mo Chen.
Finally rejoining the main group.
The wall by the window, as if unable to withstand the ceaseless shoving from the zombies behind,
With a "rumble," half of the wall collapsed inward!
The wall suddenly revealed a large opening!
More and more zombies, like a tidal wave, surged in through that opening, wave after wave!
Biting anyone they saw!
Several people in Li Xiaotian's group, unable to dodge in time, were instantly bitten and fell to the ground in agony.
Then they were pounced upon by the charging zombies, their flesh being torn and gnawed.
"Ah!" They let out cries of despair and pain.
Having had their food rations consistently withheld by Li Xiaotian, they now lacked the strength to even run.
They could only watch in horror as their insides were ripped out...
The stadium instantly turned into a river of blood.
"Xiaole, what do we do now!" Zhu Hui, who had recovered significantly after a period of rest, fearfully clutched Luo Xiaole's clothes.
She had only recently recovered from a high fever, felt weak all over, and was stunned by the scene.
She had only just come back to her senses.
The five minutes finally passed...
Luo Xiaole took a deep, gasping breath, as if she had come back to life.
Her brows furrowed deeply.
The bite from the zombie earlier, though it had no pain, the sensation was very real.
Equally clear was the overwhelming sense of terror she felt at the moment of being bitten.
If she hadn't been wearing clothes reinforced by a defense skill beforehand.
That bite would have truly turned her into one of these walking corpses.
"Detected host is in life-threatening danger. Clothing defense system is now activating."
The moment she was bitten, she heard such an announcement in her mind.
But she was still heartbroken.
Because the next sentence in her mind was:
"Defense system activated. Usable time per day: 30 minutes. Countdown initiated..."
As of now, her clothes' defense time had less than 26 minutes left!
"Ahhhhhh, I've been bitten!" a boy from Mo Chen's team exclaimed.
The next second, his exclamation grew even louder.
"I've been bitten but I'm fine? Why is my clothing talking in my head!"
"That's so strange... Me too! My arm isn't bleeding!" the joyous voices of several people gradually emerged.
Luo Xiaole's brows were knitted into a frown.
Everyone's defense time was decreasing, and she didn't know if it would be enough to reach the bell tower.
They had to set off immediately! Run outwards!
"Quick, follow me, let's charge out!" she took a deep breath, shouting as forcefully as she could.
The others didn't want to be trapped and die in the stadium either.
They all shouted, and everyone took out the weapons they had bought from the weapon dealer.
The entire team formed a sharp arrowhead shape.
Cutting down the zombies that lunged at them while desperately charging outward!
"Trying to escape? Fat chance!"
Luo Xiaole turned her head and saw Li Xiaotian had crept up beside them at some point.
He was looking at her with a malicious grin.
Immediately, he unleashed a ball of fire towards them, instantly disrupting their forward momentum.
"Don't push people too far!" Luo Xiaole gritted her teeth and glared back.
"My apologies, little sprout. With so many zombies pouring in, there have to be sacrifices for a chance to survive, don't you think?"
He then let out an evil chuckle.
Lifting his left hand, he unleashed another fireball towards the horde of zombies.
All animals have an instinct to avoid fire.
The fire, directed at the zombies, made them hesitant to approach Li Xiaotian for the moment.
He then launched a few more fireballs.
Driving the zombies towards Luo Xiaole's group.
Before long, the team was completely surrounded by the zombie horde!
Li Xiaotian, while driving back the zombies, glanced back over his shoulder.
"Thank you for buying me time. We'll settle accounts in the next life!"
"Ahhhhhh..." Zuo Ran's terrified scream also rang out from behind.
A zombie lunged at her.
She fearfully scrambled into Luo Xiaole and Mo Chen's group.
Hoping they would protect her.
As soon as the zombies had surged in, Xu Lingyan had pulled her along, and they had run with Li Xiaotian.
In their eyes, Li Xiaotian was the first person to awaken an ability, and following him would make them safer!
Who knew that not only did he run away directly, but he also pushed others straight into a fiery pit!
The surrounding circle of zombies was shrinking smaller and smaller...
A withered, blackish arm reached out from some unseen crevice.
Suddenly it grabbed Zhu Hui's arm with force.
"Ah!" Zhu Hui's scream pierced the sky.
Terror surged within her.
Luo Xiaole turned to save her.
Her pupils instantly dilated.
She saw, on that zombie's arm, a thin layer of frost suddenly appear...
