"Holy crap..." Zhou Xiaojun seized an opening as someone in front of him killed a zombie.
He heard the sound and glanced into the gap in the zombie horde.
He almost jumped out of his skin.
"What are you doing, Mo Chen?" Zhou Xiaojun continued to yelp and dodge as a zombie lunged at him, "They've already run off, why are you going back?"
"Xiao Le!" Luo Shu also clenched her fists.
But surrounded by so many zombies, they simply couldn't spare a hand to help.
It was already good enough if they could protect themselves.
On the other side, Mo Chen, with Luo Xiaole on his back, had just stepped into the encirclement.
*Swish*
A gentle white light flashed.
The large bell that had been surrounding the zombie horde vanished in an instant.
As if it had never appeared.
At the same time, he felt a jolt on his back.
Immediately after, Luo Xiaole's hand remained outstretched, motionless.
Mo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, being too close to the zombies, her paralysis couldn't be avoided.
But luckily, Luo Xiaole was focused and quick to react.
She had managed to retrieve the bell at the closest moment.
Mission accomplished.
Mo Chen's eyes deepened.
With a flip of his wrist, the two long knives he had been holding in his hands swung out fiercely to the left and right.
Instantly, he carved out an exit for them to retreat.
Mo Chen bolted forward, preparing to break through and rejoin the main group.
He took a step forward as if nothing had happened.
"Holy shit... my hand... my hand!" Luo Xiaole appeared calm on the surface.
But inwardly, she was screaming.
Mo Chen fought like ten men, battling the surrounding zombies and carving a path.
But there were too many zombies, and a blind spot appeared on his right!
A zombie had a tumor-like secondary head on its neck.
That tumor-like head also had a zombie face.
The tumor-headed zombie was dangerously close to the fingertips of Luo Xiaole's exposed hand!
"Roar!"
The glint in the zombie's eyes almost blinded Luo Xiaole.
The next second, with a "Roar!"
It opened its mouth and lunged to bite Luo Xiaole's finger.
"It's over... I'm going to be the Severed Finger Xuan Yuan today!" Luo Xiaole was frantic, but couldn't move her entire body.
The next second, her anger surged, and a churning sensation swept through her.
She felt all her energy converging urgently.
Then it kept sinking, sinking.
And then...
*Pfft~~~*
Luo Xiaole let out a truly earth-shattering fart...
"I might as well die..." Despair filled her heart at this moment.
Perhaps it was her imagination.
She even felt that the surrounding zombies, having heard the sound, seemed to freeze for two seconds...
"..."
Mo Chen said nothing.
He pretended not to have heard anything.
Casually turning his head to the right as if to cover up, he coughed twice.
It was this turn of his head that made him spot the tumor-faced zombie on his right, which was about to launch a stealth attack...
"!"
Mo Chen dodged sharply to the side.
He swung his silver saber with his right hand.
All the zombie heads on that neck instantly fell to the ground.
Mo Chen patted his chest, his heart still pounding.
"Hoo..." He had almost turned Luo Xiaole into a one-finginger...
Mo Chen no longer lingered.
He crouched down abruptly, gathering his strength.
He pushed off with his leg and charged!
He stepped over the head of a zombie.
Using the momentum of his leap, he made several more jumps.
Finally, after five minutes, he successfully rendezvoused with the others.
"Mo Chen! You're finally back!" Zuo Ran, seeing Mo Chen, ignored the boys who had just saved her.
She called out in a loud voice, "Stop yelling, do you want more zombies to chase us!" Luo Shu said impatiently.
Everyone peeked back.
A large swarm of zombies was already rushing towards them like a tide.
The small distance they had managed to create was about to be lost.
"Retreat." Mo Chen frowned, taking the lead and killing zombies that blocked their escape.
His saber was instantly stained with the black blood of five zombies.
"Retreat! Don't fight! What are you guys in the back doing?" Zhou Xiaojun saw Xu Lingyan run a few steps.
Upon seeing Mo Chen carrying Luo Xiaole, she revealed a displeased look.
Then her running speed actually slowed down.
"Xu Lingyan? Hurry up and run!"
"And Zuo Ran, don't think you're safe hiding in that corner. Are you going to hide forever? When the zombies behind catch up, they'll trap you like a turtle in a jar!" Zhou Xiaojun gnashed his teeth.
"Coming, coming..." Xu Lingyan's eyes showed impatience.
Why were they rushing her?
What had that Luo Xiaole said to Mo Chen earlier to make him go there?
Why wasn't she being rushed?
As she ran, she felt proud.
She had awakened her abilities!
An earth-element ability that could defend.
If zombies came from behind, she could just use her abilities.
What was the big fuss about?
She raised her head and looked back.
Her eyes gradually filled with terror.
The small group of zombies that had been chasing them sporadically behind them.
At some point, they had attracted more and more zombies from the roadside.
They had now gathered into a swarm like an ant nest.
Truly like a tide, they were rapidly approaching them.
"Zuo Ran, hurry... hurry and run!" Her voice trembled.
She had never imagined such a scene.
Seeing her like this, Zuo Ran didn't dare to look back.
She finally started running for her life.
The boys who had helped them earlier also dared not rest and took off running.
*Bang*
The last one to fall was immediately pounced on by a pursuing zombie.
"Ah, Zuo Ran, pull me up!" the person shouted with anticipation.
He wore protective clothing, and the zombie had only bitten his clothes.
As long as he was pulled out, he could still escape unharmed.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Ran didn't even turn her head.
As if she couldn't hear him.
She pulled Xu Lingyan, and the two of them sprinted madly forward.
This wasn't the first time they had done this, and now it seemed even more effortless.
"Don't... don't abandon me!" The boy realized what was happening and suddenly screamed in despair.
"Ah!!"
In the end, his cries were drowned out by the horde of zombies.
Unable to bite through other areas, the zombies quickly found his unprotected neck and face.
After a few bites, only remnants of blood vessels remained on his neck.
His entire face was also disfigured...
...
Everyone was panting, not knowing how long they had run.
"Ahead! Hurry! Pick up the pace!" Luo Shu exclaimed with joy, "The school's back gate is up ahead!"
After a period of intense fighting and escape.
Many people's hands and feet were weak and unresponsive.
Blood began to fill their mouths.
They could only grit their teeth and force themselves to keep running.
"Huh... is that a..." Zhou Xiaojun rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it.
"Bus? Intact?"
"Holy crap! It really is... we might have a chance today!" Luo Shu's tone was also cheerful.
From a distance, it looked like a school bus?
It could carry many people.
And on that bus, apart from two or three shadowy figures swaying, there seemed to be no other zombies...
Had they stumbled upon a lucky break?
"Okay, okay Mo Chen, let me down..." Luo Xiaole's face was flushed, and her voice was as small as a mosquito's.
She had been released from paralysis not long ago.
But even though she wanted to get down, Mo Chen wouldn't let her.
He said the situation was urgent, and if she ran herself, she might be a burden to the team.
She thought about it and agreed. She shouldn't be overconfident at a time like this.
So she obediently stayed on Mo Chen's back.
She didn't want to be a parasite to the team!
She didn't notice that a faint... triumphant smile appeared on Mo Chen's lips.
And if she got down now, she really couldn't bear to look at Mo Chen...
It was because that fart had been so spectacularly loud...
*Poof*
The three zombies on the bus were instantly dealt with.
"Xiao Le, hurry and come here!" Luo Shu shouted excitedly, "We've dealt with the zombies on the bus, this bus is ours!"
"Yours?"
Heh, dream on!"
From not far away, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
