"Holy crap! Last time, one was this fierce. Now so many are coming, are they trying to kill us?" Zhou Xiaojun frantically ran his hands through his hair, saying in despair.
Luo Xiaole’s heart skipped a beat.
"How could so many come at once..."
Luo Xiaole had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
It was like last time, in the deserted alley they passed through on their way to school.
That was a place where there shouldn't have been any zombies, yet they were ambushed by several mutated zombies.
And now, a swarm of giant mutated bat zombies suddenly appeared, and so many at once.
Luo Xiaole didn't believe it was a coincidence.
She even had a terrifying thought that these mutated zombies might be controlled by someone…
"Help!" A chilling scream suddenly echoed from a second-floor supermarket in the distance.
"Zhou Xiaojun!" Luo Xiaole called out.
Zhou Xiaojun instantly understood her intention.
"Wait, let me listen…" He extended his ability in that direction, a grim expression appearing on his face.
"People inside the supermarket were grabbing supplies. Someone seemed to have attacked the zombies at the stairwell entrance a few times. Who knew there would be more and more zombies there, and now they've become a huge group chasing this way! Don't know where they came from."
Zhou Xiaojun grew more anxious as he spoke, his pace quickening.
Luo Xiaole frowned. Who would be so foolish as to release those splitting zombies from the stairwell?
This was bad. Everyone else had weapons now. If they started hacking at those zombies…
The number of zombies in the airport would only increase.
It would be difficult to escape then.
"Ah! Help! Someone save us!" The person being chased by zombies was getting closer.
As they ran closer to them, Luo Xiaole took a good look. Weren't these the two people who had tried to steal her ring?
Truly a pair of impulsive and foolish individuals!
She quickly re-adjusted her scarf and hat, fully arming herself again.
"Zombies are coming! Run!" The two screamed as they ran over, not recognizing Luo Xiaole.
"Gaaah!" At the same time, the dozen or so bat zombies that had been circling in the sky, as if having located their prey,
dove down towards the people on the second and third floors.
This was precisely towards the campsite.
It seemed the campsite was no longer an option!
To get out of the airport, if they couldn't use the campsite stairs, they would have to go down the stairs near the supermarket.
Xiaole, Mo Shen, and Luo Shu exchanged glances. All three knew how to deal with the zombies before them.
They prepared to fight.
"Are they crazy?" the two people cursed as they ran, "Zombies behind them, and they're running that way, are they out of their minds?"
"Get ready," Mo Shen said out of the blue.
Nie Yuan and the others looked baffled. Who was Mo Shen talking to?
Ready for what? Were they going to kill these zombies now?
Although confused, the three still raised their weapons, preparing for battle.
It was strange, after experiencing the attacks from the lurkers and Li Xiaotian, as if they had died once.
Even without offensive abilities, their courage seemed to be growing.
"Gather at Baihui." Mo Shen continued speaking as if to himself.
He had taught her how to circulate energy to acupoints during their night watches. It could help her concentrate better and improve her accuracy.
She had practiced it every day before sleeping, and had been using this method in actual combat several times.
This was why her flying thumbtack skills had improved so rapidly.
Mo Shen, as a "master," really knew his stuff.
"Ten o'clock direction, straight ahead, one-eyed with brown hair." In the face of battle, Mo Shen seemed even more economical with his words, revealing only the most crucial information.
Luo Xiaole, however, understood quickly.
Mo Shen had found the main zombie!
Luo Xiaole concentrated her energy, aiming in the direction Mo Shen indicated. Without hesitation, she threw a thumbtack towards the zombie's head!
This time, it only took two thumbtacks to bring the zombie down.
Precisely in the center of its forehead, a seemingly insignificant small thumbtack from Luo Xiaole was lodged.
"Not bad." Mo Shen smiled. Her aim was getting better and better.
As soon as that zombie fell.
The zombies behind it suddenly collapsed in large numbers, as if possessed!
It was as if a switch had been simultaneously flipped for them.
Countless horrifying corpses littered the ground…
Nie Yuan and the others exchanged glances.
They had been sweating profusely just moments ago, about to fight in the zombie horde!
They never expected the entire horde to collapse on its own.
Luo Xiaole… seemed to be experimenting with something new again…
The situation at the campsite seemed even worse.
Attacked simultaneously by over a dozen bat zombies, screams had already erupted.
Qin Mingyang on the third floor also seemed to be under attack. This time, it wasn't just the faint gunshots of silenced weapons.
Even small mortars were being used.
The floors above were filled with the flashes of gunfire and the roars of the bat zombies!
But Qin Mingyang should be able to handle it.
"Don't stand there, hurry downstairs," Luo Xiaole reminded them.
Her clothing's defense had activated fifteen minutes ago.
The defensive function could still be used for another 45 minutes.
She couldn't afford to waste time.
"I hope our school bus is still there." Luo Shu clenched her fists and swung them as she ran, as if cheering herself on.
The group sprinted, killing a few zombies that rushed up from hearing the commotion upstairs.
They finally reached the first floor again.
Nie Yuan activated his ability, abruptly muffling the sounds from upstairs to the exit.
The group, catching the zombies by surprise, managed to deal with a few more zombies dawdling at the entrance.
"Quick, from here it's the tarmac, our car is parked there!" Luo Shu said with some joy as they were about to escape the airport.
But when Luo Xiaole and everyone else rushed out the exit door.
The sight before them was somewhat despairing…
Several airplanes were parked on the tarmac.
There had seemed to be no zombies there before.
But now, they were like endless conveyor belts. Countless zombies, as if alerted, poured out from the shattered cockpits and charged into the airport!
Spreading rapidly towards them like a rising tide!
"...Did we just stumble into a zombie nest..." Luo Shu's face instantly fell into despair.
Luo Xiaole's mind went blank.
It wasn't that she hadn't been surrounded by zombies before.
But that feeling, where you think you've escaped, only to find you've walked into hell.
It could easily make one lose their survival instinct…
But in just a second, Luo Xiaole recovered.
"We can't go back to the airport, it'll be surrounded soon. Let's find a weak point and fight our way out!" Her eyes were slightly bloodshot.
Even her Great Bell couldn't withstand so many endless zombies.
After all, even the Great Bell had durability.
Her only hope was to break out within the remaining 30 minutes of her clothing's defense being active, during which she wouldn't trigger the stun effect!
Luo Shu and Nie Yuan also swallowed hard.
Luo Xiaole reached into her pockets with both hands.
Her gaze focused.
It seemed her newly replenished supply of thumbtacks was about to be put to use.
Mo Shen remained impassive, observing.
After a few seconds, he uttered a few words, "One o'clock direction."
This time, everyone understood his meaning.
That was the weak point of the zombie horde.
They charged in that direction and struck down the first zombie at the forefront!
"Swish!"
"Thwack!"
"Don't spread out, don't spread out!" The group confirmed each other's positions as they fought.
They acted as each other's solid support.
Luo Xiaole also tirelessly continued to clear a path in that direction with her thumbtacks.
Occasionally, a few zombies that couldn't be stopped broke through and bit them!
But they all hit something as hard as the hardest steel in the world, achieving nothing…
At the same time, behind them, several more people who had also escaped the airport suddenly appeared.
Seeing them fighting, those people gritted their teeth and followed suit.
The scene became chaotic.
Luo Xiaole and the others' swords and other weapons didn't stop for a moment.
Even Mo Shen, using his other good arm, swung his weapon relentlessly, sweat dripping down his face.
Luo Xiaole was gradually losing strength.
But they were still some distance from their school bus.
Just then, the sound of a car approached from a distance, charging towards them…
