"Pfft, the black blood splattered all over that guy."
"Ugh... this smell is... so disgusting..." The guy felt like he was going to throw up everything he'd eaten for days.
Everyone suddenly understood. Luo Xiaole wanted to use this bell to stir up trouble!
But this bell could only be used once. It wouldn't be enough to deal with the other zombies!
The next second, the guy stared at the bell again, as if he'd seen a ghost.
"What kind of bell is this? It bites people!"
Only those squeezed outside the groove could see this scene.
Zombies kept lunging up from below, but the moment they touched the bell, they were done for!
"Is this fair..." The guy was dumbfounded. "Did that weapon master come here before?"
"Weapon master?" The others were on the verge of being bitten to death by the zombie horde here.
Hearing the sudden turn of events, they dared to open their eyes to look.
Indeed, the bell's effect was very much in line with the weapon master's style and methods!
"Awesome" slipped out of his mouth.
But... what should they do next?
They heard weapons had durability.
With so many zombie hordes, even if the bell kept mowing them down, its durability would eventually run out.
This wasn't a permanent solution...
They were still going to die...
"Alright, let's head out," Luo Xiaole said, seeing that the first wave had been mostly dealt with. "Hold onto your weapons, and let's make a break for it."
"Are you out of your mind? This bell is so heavy and blocking the way, how can anyone get out?" Xu Lingyan, seeing Luo Xiaole's suggestion being effective again, felt extremely displeased.
So she vehemently opposed her.
The others also tried to find if there was any other way to escape.
With their attention elsewhere, it gave Luo Xiaole an opportunity.
She didn't say a word and quietly stepped out of the group.
She extended her scrawny leg.
And gave the bell a gentle kick.
"Wha... what's that sound?" The others turned their heads curiously upon hearing the noise.
Then, they witnessed an incredibly bizarre scene.
The bell actually started rolling on its own.
With crushing force, it rolled straight down to the first floor.
And then, with lightning speed, it directly turned the wave of zombies that had just rushed in through the entrance into minced meat!
"Wh... what happened..." Xu Lingyan was also utterly bewildered.
An ordinary large bell would be impossible to move or kick.
But this was now Luo Xiaole's bell.
She decided how it would be used.
"Can we go now?" Luo Xiaole reminded them.
"Charge, charge, charge! Hurry and follow that bell! It's getting away!" Zhou Xiaojun shouted urgently at everyone.
The others, thinking about facing the horde outside, felt a deep sense of dread.
But if they didn't follow the bell out now.
They might truly perish here!
"Ahhh... Charge... Let's do it!" The people in the group finally moved.
They quickly got out of the groove and followed the bell's rolling path.
Charging straight out through the main entrance!
The giant bell was now covered in a dark green liquid.
It rolled out from the main entrance,
crushing out a "black" carpet for everyone.
"This bell is amazing!" People couldn't stop exclaiming.
The number of zombies surrounding the entrance had drastically reduced, making it much easier for them to get out.
However, the sheer number of zombies behind them was too great.
Instantly, several zombies from the side reinforced the attack, lunging at the foremost Zhou Xiaojun and Luo Shu!
"Pfft!"
The two dared not slacken and quickly pulled out the weapons they had bought from Luo Xiaole to fight back.
They severed the heads of two zombies!
"Follow me and run towards the back door!" Luo Shu gritted his teeth, leading the charge and fighting their way towards the back door.
"Roar!"
The bell's earlier crushing had eased the pressure from one direction.
But the number of surrounding zombies had increased too much in a day or two.
Immediately, many zombies lunged from other directions,
with thunderous force, extending their claws towards Zuo Ran on the right.
"Be careful, Zuo Ran!" The boys who admired Zuo Ran suddenly cried out.
"I'll help you!" They finally raised their weapons.
And blocked in front of Zuo Ran.
With a "snap," one of the boys' weapons was instantly knocked away by a zombie.
Terror flashed in his eyes.
"Ahhh..."
The zombie grabbed him directly.
"Life-threatening situation detected for host. Clothing defense system is now activated."
A mechanical female voice immediately sounded.
The guy's heart churned, as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.
"Whoosh," he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this suit protected him!
"Watch out beside you!" 138 Reading Network
He turned his head.
Another zombie had apparently been lurking beside him.
The zombie sprang forward with a sudden leap,
heading straight for his unguarded neck.
He quickly dodged.
But in the end, he was still a little too slow...
The tip of the zombie's claw grazed his unsuspecting neck,
leaving a small but noticeable scratch.
"Are you okay!" Zuo Ran finally spoke, his tone neither loud nor soft.
The guy had been so tense that he hadn't realized his neck had been scratched.
He thought he had just managed to dodge the zombie's attack.
Hearing Zuo Ran's concerned words, his heart swelled with joy.
He waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. Are you okay?"
Zuo Ran nodded shyly.
"I'm fighting on the front lines, not so you two can flirt back there!"
Zhou Xiaojun caught a glimpse of what had happened in the rear of the group just moments ago.
A surge of anger welled up inside him.
As everyone fought off zombies, they continued to run towards the back door.
Luo Xiaole was currently locked in an internal struggle.
She needed to retrieve her bell.
But if she went alone, she would likely stiffen.
What should she do?
"Whoosh."
A familiar, slender figure suddenly appeared beside her.
"The bell?" He only asked a single word.
Luo Xiaole nodded heavily.
"Can you retrieve the bell before you stiffen?" This time, it was two whole sentences.
"???"
Luo Xiaole was taken aback.
As far as she remembered, it was only back in the residential area when she had turned into a strawberry bear and was about to trade with Luo Shu, that she had stiffened and coincidentally met Mo Shen?
But how did Mo Shen know it was her?
And how did he know about her specific condition of stiffening?
Besides Luo Shu and Zhu Hui, no one else knew this.
"Uh..." Now was not the time to be considering these things.
Luo Xiaole only hesitated for a second before making a decision.
"Within one second, I can retrieve it," she muttered to herself. Mo Shen seemed to... have learned another of her secrets.
Mo Shen nodded, without any superfluous expression.
"Get on," the next second, he bent his long legs and squatted down.
Luo Xiaole didn't hesitate at all and climbed onto his back.
Mo Shen used a rope of moderate length to tie a knot in three seconds, securing Luo Xiaole firmly.
Preventing her from falling if she stiffened later.
"Let's go," he prompted.
Luo Xiaole nodded, as if prepared for death.
The next second, Mo Shen shot forward like a miniature cannonball,
directly towards the direction of the large bell.
"Riiip!"
The three zombies blocking the path were killed with one strike!
A breakthrough was instantly created in the zombie horde surrounding the bell.
"Prepare!" Mo Shen commanded.
Luo Xiaole extended her hand forward.
Mo Shen once again, with astonishing speed, lunged towards the gap.
"Is Mo Shen crazy!"
"Is he taking Luo Xiaole to her death? What are they doing!" Some of their companions, who were fighting fiercely, happened to see Mo Shen charging into the zombie horde with Luo Xiaole, looking like a "suicidal attack."
They only managed to catch a last glimpse of Mo Shen's retreating back as he was swallowed by the zombie swarm.
