Chapter 53 Airport Crisis

All along, Luo Xiao Le idly stared out the window.

She felt that the grass along the way was extremely lush, almost reaching as high as a person.

These unattended wild grasses were swayed to and fro by a fierce evening wind.

They looked particularly desolate under the setting sun.

When the sky completely darkened.

They finally arrived at the airport.

"The airport should be up ahead," Zhou Xiao Jun said, his headlights cutting a long beam of light through the quiet dark night.

"This airport looks so creepy..." Luo Shu scratched his head.

Following the light source, everyone gradually saw the scene before them.

They were all instantly chilled to the bone.

"Turn off the headlights quickly!" Luo Xiao Le whispered.

Just for a fleeting moment when the headlights swept past.

They saw several pairs of pale green zombie eyes reflecting light in what should have been an empty airport.

They looked particularly horrifying in the darkness.

"There are zombies in the airport... can we still go in?" Zhou Xiao Jun's voice was full of worry.

"...Is there any other place nearby to settle down?" Luo Xiao Le also looked pale.

"It's too late to back out now," Luo Shu said with a bitter smile and stepped forward.

"There are no other buildings around here except this airport," he scratched his head. "We can't sleep in the car! If we wake up at night and find ourselves surrounded by zombies... we won't be able to escape!"

Luo Shu shivered, feeling a chill down his neck just thinking about it.

"We also need to replenish our supplies a bit..." Luo Xiao Le pulled open her backpack, which was already less than half full, and looked a little worried.

Li Xiao Tian, who had been playing cards in the back with his feet up.

His eyes lit up the moment he heard the word "supplies."

"Let's go, into the airport!" His eyes turned fierce again.

The few people from the convenience store looked exceptionally excited when they heard him say that.

Now that they had weapons and skills, what supplies couldn't they get?

"Can you stop pointing that broken gun around all the time!" Luo Shu protested. "We're not your hostages!"

"Shut your damn mouth!" Li Xiao Tian spat.

"Lead the way!"

With a gun to his back, Luo Xiao Le and her group had no choice but to get out of the car.

They walked along the vast airport square towards the lounge area.

The external facilities of the entire airport already looked somewhat desolate.

The wreckage of an airplane lay on the tarmac not far away, looking utterly dilapidated.

As soon as the group stepped off the bus, they felt a cold wind seeping directly into their collars.

Accompanied by the occasional whines of zombies from ahead.

It sounded like a scene from a horror movie.

"Ah... so scary..." Zuo Ran opened her large, watery eyes and leaned towards Mo Chen in fear.

A hint of moisture shimmered in her eyes as she glanced at Mo Chen repeatedly.

Her delicate, jade-like hand silently reached out for Mo Chen's clothes, as if grasping for a lifeline.

Mo Chen, who was in front, seemed to sense something.

He paused.

Then, he suddenly lifted his leg and accelerated.

Instantly appearing two meters away.

Zuo Ran lunged and missed, stumbling and almost crashing directly into a zombie that was crushed under a car, only its upper body visible.

"Gaaah...!" Zuo Ran's face turned ashen, and she screamed in fright.

Xu Ling Yan rushed forward and covered her mouth.

There was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.

No matter how beautiful you are, Mo Chen remains unmoved.

She even felt a sense of catharsis.

She had attended the same school as Mo Chen for many years, and Mo Chen was always Mo Chen. He was known throughout the school for being indifferent to women.

What was the point of being good-looking? It was useless, wasn't it?

Looking at Zuo Ran's terrified and disoriented face.

She felt immense satisfaction.

"Alright Zuo Ran, let's hurry up. There seem to be strange noises behind us, don't fall behind," Xu Ling Yan comforted Zuo Ran and then pulled her forward.

"Noises?" The girl from the convenience store, who was following right behind them.

Hearing Xu Ling Yan say that, she felt her heart sink. "What noises! Don't scare me!"

She was most afraid of things she could hear but not see or touch.

Earlier, Li Xiao Tian and the others had made Mo Chen and Luo Xiao Le go in front to make it easier to control Luo Xiao Le and the others with their guns.

They followed behind with their guns.

Now, with no one behind them, the sky was dark, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

As Xu Ling Yan said this, they suddenly felt as if something was following them.

When the cold wind blew, there seemed to be a rustling sound in the air.

The hairs on his body almost stood on end.

"Hey, you stop right there!" Li Xiao Tian gritted his teeth and said.

"Let us go ahead!" He frowned, pointing his gun forward.

"What are you guys doing?" As he walked, he noticed something was wrong.

He knew that Luo Xiao Le liked to daydream, but why were Mo Chen and the others also frozen up ahead?

He moved closer to see.

Something seemed to be swaying in the corridor leading to the lounge ahead.

"What is that?" Without a word, he conjured a ball of fire.

"No!" Luo Shu reached out to stop him, but it was too late.

The fire illuminated the path ahead.

"Hoo... hoo..." The corridor ahead was densely packed, filled with zombies!

"Holy shit!" Luo Shu cursed.

Just now, when Luo Le suddenly stopped here, he and Mo Chen exchanged a glance, knowing something was wrong and intending to retreat.

Who knew that Li Xiao Tian, this damn fool.

He rushed forward and acted rashly, instantly igniting a fire.

This instantly attracted the attention of all the zombies in front!

"Click, click!"

Countless zombies seemed to be instantly activated, tilting their heads and baring their sharp teeth.

They charged towards the group like a tidal wave.

The group was instantly scattered!

"Screech!" The zombies lunged forward!

A claw ripped Luo Xiao Le's sleeve!

"Run!" Luo Shu shouted.

He picked up Luo Xiao Le beside him and sprinted towards another lounge area!

Zhu Hui and Zhou Xiao Jun, who were closest to them, also ran desperately behind them.

Mo Chen's long saber was instantly unsheathed, and after dispatching two zombies behind them.

He kicked off the ground and instantly caught up.

The group dodged left and right, desperately evading.

"Quick, quick, there's an entrance up ahead!" Zhou Xiao Jun's eyes lit up in front.

Luo Shu, carrying Luo Xiao Le, was panting from running.

Zhu Hui was also continuously using her ice abilities to attack the zombies behind them, trying to cover their retreat.

Mo Chen's three small knives had already been thrown.

His long saber was already stained with black blood!

But the zombies behind them were still relentlessly pursuing.

One even extended its hand, reaching directly for Zhu Hui, who was almost out of strength.

"Three, two, one!"

The stiffening period ended!

Luo Xiao Le's eyes snapped open.

A thumbtack shot out, directly pinning that zombie's arm to the nearby wall!

The zombie could only tear at its arm, roaring in impotent rage.

"Hoo..." Luo Xiao Le let out a deep breath.

Earlier in the corridor, she had sensed that the smell in the air was not right.

But in the blink of an eye, the stiffening system was abruptly triggered.

If Mo Chen and Luo Shu had not learned to constantly monitor her situation and retreat in time.

They would likely have met their end here!

"Alright, don't just stand there, let's go in!" Zhou Xiao Song reminded them.

The group exchanged glances, nodded, and directly pulled open the door to the entrance.

Stepping inside, they sealed out the zombies behind them.

"No way..." But upon seeing the scene before them, shock struck again...

Luo Shu swallowed.

"Out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's lair..."

The moment Luo Xiao Le entered the door, she had already stiffened again.

In the check-in hall before them, wandering densely packed...

Were another horde of zombies...
