Xiao Ma and Wan Nian pushed the two men inside and said, "Hurry up, quickly."
Da Yong stumbled, almost bumping into a zombie, his eyes filled with hatred.
How could he not know that although these zombies were not moving now, they could still awaken? But if he hadn't come in just now, those people would have directly killed him.
Slowly, he crawled up from the ground, carefully avoiding the zombies beside him. On the other side, Yuan Zhong also cautiously moved slowly through the many zombies.
Being so close to the zombies made both of their legs tremble.
Since the apocalypse broke out, they had seen countless people being devoured alive by these zombies. Just thinking of some unpleasant scenes made them both shiver.
Outside the door, Wan Nian and Xiao Ma also felt a bit intimidated by so many zombies.
But now they had to search for food, and it was not easy to find a place that hadn't been searched yet, so how could they let it go?
So, Wan Nian said fiercely:
"Go in and search quickly, don't waste time. If you don't find anything, don't come out. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can come out."
Inside the door, Da Yong and Yuan Zhong exchanged glances, mustered their courage, and walked in step by step.
There were relatively few zombies at the entrance; the further inside they went, the more zombies there were.
They held their breath, tiptoed, not daring to make too much noise.
After walking about ten meters inside, they stopped when they saw the scene before them.
The zombies in front of them were crowded together, with less than half a meter between each zombie.
Standing in front of these zombies, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Outside the door, Wan Nian stared intently at the zombies in front of him.
...
Drip~
A drop of water fell to the ground. He noticed that the layer of frost on the surface of these zombies was melting under the midday sun.
And the zombies closest to the door began to tremble all over under the scorching sun.
"Not good," Wan Nian thought to himself.
He pulled Xiao Ma, who was beside him, and whispered, "Look at these few zombies, they seem to be moving."
Xiao Ma heard this and was about to mock him, but when he saw it, his eyes narrowed slightly—they really were moving.
The two exchanged glances and hurried towards Wang Ge's direction.
The sound of their footsteps attracted the attention of Da Yong and the other man who were searching for supplies inside the door.
They quickly turned their heads and saw the two men standing at the door running outwards.
Their hearts sank.
A thought flashed through their minds: What happened?
Thump~
Da Yong accidentally bumped into an advertising board on the wall and fell to the ground.
This sound directly startled the zombies already at the edge of the doorway.
Roar!
The first zombie roared, and then the zombies around it also began to awaken.
Da Yong and the other man saw it clearly from behind, and a hint of despair flashed through their hearts.
The roaring of these zombies was like a switch.
Behind them, the zombies not exposed to the sunlight also began to awaken.
Like waves, zombies awakened one after another.
The few zombies at the door, after awakening, ran directly out of the door, towards Wan Nian and his group.
Roar!
The zombies howled in fury.
Wan Nian and Xiao Ma had just run a dozen meters when they looked back and saw a horde of zombies chasing them.
Their speed was astonishing!
Wan Nian's heart trembled, and he shouted towards Wang Ge and the others ahead, "The zombies have awakened, run!"
Wang Ge, who had been constantly paying attention to the situation here, immediately picked up his backpack and fled without a word.
The two people behind followed. The woman with Wang Ge looked at Xiao Kui, who was squatting on the ground with her head in her hands, and asked, "Wang Ge, what do we do with her?"
Wang Ge replied without looking back, "Why do you care about her? Hurry up and run."
The woman looked at Xiao Kui.
Xiao Kui also saw the zombies behind Wan Nian and the others. She stood up, looking at the woman with pleading eyes.
Unfortunately, the woman was not like the two men at the big iron gate. None of Wang Ge's people would care if she lived or died.
In the apocalypse, one must fend for themselves.
The woman ignored Xiao Kui's plea, didn't even untie the ropes binding her, and silently followed Wang Ge.
Xiao Kui wailed, "Save me, don't leave me behind."
But neither the woman nor Wang Ge paid any attention to her.
Wan Nian and Xiao Ma, who were running from behind, also caught up. Xiao Kui looked pitifully at Wan Nian and said, "Untie me, take me with you, and I'll be yours."
Xiao Ma ignored this person, glancing at Wan Nian with a look of amusement in his eyes.
He brushed past Xiao Kui.
When Wan Nian heard this, he felt like he was constipated. If Xiao Kui hadn't spoken just now, it would have been fine, and he wouldn't have planned to do anything.
But Xiao Ma's look just now seemed to say, "Is this your taste?"
Especially when he remembered that she had previously said she wanted to join their big family.
It was a social death moment.
This made him feel extremely humiliated. Looking at this obese woman now, an unknown anger surged within him.
Wan Nian directly stabbed the woman in the leg with a knife.
Rip.
The knife cut through the woman's thick pants, and blood immediately gushed out.
"Ah! You're so cruel!" After being stabbed, the woman lost her balance and fell directly to the ground.
Wan Nian glanced behind him. The zombies seemed to have smelled the blood. Having been hungry for several months, they became even more frantic, running faster.
"Damn it," Wan Nian cursed under his breath.
He had originally thought that by using this woman, he could delay the zombies' pursuit, but he hadn't expected that after the woman was stabbed, it would make these zombies even more excited.
These zombies were running incredibly fast, faster than the zombies he remembered from before.
Is this the power of hunger?
Wan Nian shook his head. What was he even thinking about at a time like this?
Xiao Kui watched the approaching zombies, and that familiar feeling of dread returned.
She trembled, trying to squirm her obese body to the side, but her hands were tied, and her body was too fat to move easily.
She could only watch helplessly as the zombies caught up to her.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt as if the zombies' open mouths were drooling.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!! Ahhh!" The woman was wailing when the first zombie caught up to her.
It bit her arm directly.
Tear.
Her arm was directly torn off. Immediately after, the zombies behind her buried themselves in her stomach, using their sharp teeth to disembowel her.
Other zombies surrounded Xiao Kui, tearing and biting at her face, neck, legs, chest, feet, and arms.
These zombies were too hungry. Now that they had caught a person, they immediately began to tear and swallow her madly.
The zombies were like a swarm of locusts. The original seven or eight zombies were the first to bite the woman.
But dozens of zombies following behind seemed unwilling to give up and fought with the other zombies for her.
In less than 30 seconds, the zombies ran over, like a swarm of locusts!
Only red traces were left on the ground; not even a single bone remained.
Such an obese woman was completely devoured in such a short time, which made Wang Ge and the others, who had already run far away, feel their hearts pound when they saw it.
They hadn't felt this feeling of being chased by zombies for many days.
During the coldest period, they even suspected that the zombies had disappeared, until they discovered the frozen zombies.
However, during that coldest period, although they almost froze to death, they didn't have to constantly worry about zombie attacks.
Now, the zombies have awakened!
Thanks to that woman, she did somewhat hinder the zombies' pursuit, allowing Wan Nian and Xiao Ma to catch up.
Wan Nian asked breathlessly, "Wang Ge, where are we going now?"
Wang Ge said while running, "Let's leave here first. Once these zombies are gone, we'll go back in to search for supplies. For now, let's just run."
Everyone ran into the distance.
Behind them followed dozens of ravenous, frantic zombies.
Inside the large iron gate.
At the same time, when the zombies awakened, Da Yong and the other man were also scared witless.
Their current position was in a pile of zombies. Outside were recently awakened zombies, and inside were even more zombies, though they hadn't awakened yet.
But fortunately, the few awakened zombies ran directly outside.
Da Yong and the other man breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the two fleeing men, Da Yong said with satisfaction, "They deserve it, damn them for making us come in."
Roar!
Just as they were relaxing a bit, a few zombies beside them also woke up.
Damn it, we're done for!
This was the first thought that flashed through their minds.
There are zombies all around, how can we run?
But they were not the type of people who wanted to die. They pushed past the zombies that hadn't fully awakened yet.
Suddenly, Da Yong saw a small door less than 4 meters away from them.
A storage room!
But this place was within those crowded zombie piles.
At this moment, the zombies near the entrance had all awakened.
The few zombies around them were in the process of awakening.
And the zombies 4 meters away were also trembling slightly, but they hadn't awakened yet.
Da Yong said, "Let's go there, let's gamble!"
They definitely couldn't get through the main entrance. There were still a dozen zombies blocking that door, and the entrance was only so big. By the time they got through, the zombies behind would have awakened and chased them.
"Okay," Yuan Zhong said.
Because of the cold, they were both wearing a lot of clothes.
The two of them squeezed through the piles of zombies like people crowding onto a train during Chinese New Year.
Because it was too crowded, the faces of some zombies were less than 2 centimeters from their own faces.
They were so close that they could even see the texture of the zombies' skin, black and white, with a decaying smell.
And these zombies seemed to smell human scent, their noses twitching, looking like they were about to wake up.
Further away, the already awakened zombies had caught up to less than 5 meters from them.
They were still 2 meters from the small door.
In the crowded zombie horde, the already awakened and excited zombies were blocked by the zombies that were about to awaken.
One meter left.
Da Yong's face showed the hope of survival. He pushed hard.
Finally, he reached the door and pulled it with all his might.
Suddenly.
Click!
A loud bang.
Da Yong found that the door was blocked by a zombie next to it.
Roar!
Just then, all the zombies near them awakened.
Yuan Zhong stood beside him and saw this scene. He gritted his teeth fiercely and leaned hard against a zombie.
Then he pushed hard.
He pushed the surrounding zombies to the ground.
Da Yong quickly took the opportunity to open the door.
The door opened.
Da Yong's heart filled with joy.
He turned his head, however, and saw that after Yuan Zhong pushed the zombies down, he was grabbed by his clothes by a zombie.
Go straight in or save him?
How to choose.
In the face of life and death, Da Yong gritted his teeth and cursed.
He grabbed Yuan Zhong's clothes with his right hand and pulled hard.
He turned his body.
He directly pulled Yuan Zhong into the storage room.
Immediately after, just as the zombies were about to catch up, he flashed inside.
Bang!
The small door of the storage room closed.
Just barely.
Thump, thump, thump!
The sound of zombies pounding on the door came from outside.
