Luo Xiaole was instantly shocked.
"Zhu Hui... you..."
"Ah Xiaole, it's grabbing me!" Zhu Hui screamed suddenly, "My clothes are making noise too! Huh... this zombie's hand... has frost on it?" Zhu Hui also looked incredulous.
"Zhu Hui... you don't happen to have supernatural abilities too, do you!" Luo Xiaole thought back to how she and Li Xiaotian both had fevers and then inexplicably recovered, and suddenly had this premonition.
"There's ice on its hand, could you be an ice-type ability user?" Time was of the essence, Luo Xiaole urged her, "Try it, can you use the same ability again!"
Zhu Hui, hearing Luo Xiaole's words, her slightly panicked consciousness seemed to find an anchor.
She knitted her brows fiercely, recalling the feeling she had just experienced.
Towards another zombie rushing at her, she desperately concentrated the power at her brow.
"Crackle..."
The zombie's outstretched arm was indeed covered in a thin layer of frost!
"Well done! Zhu Hui, you really can do it!" Luo Xiaole was overjoyed.
With an ability user joining their team, their combat power would definitely increase!
"Ah!" Zombies began to surge forward relentlessly at the front of the group.
Mo Chen's clothes, stained with the black blood from constantly killing zombies, had the remaining white parts completely covered, truly taking on a demonic appearance.
But he was about to be overwhelmed.
"Zhu Hui, try to focus the frost on the few zombies in front of the group," Luo Xiaole took a deep breath, trying to de-escalate the situation.
"If you can use frost to slow down the zombies in front, we might have time to find a breakthrough and escape this zombie encirclement!" Luo Xiaole clenched her fists.
Honestly, she wasn't confident in this plan, but under the circumstances, there was no better option.
Everyone's stamina was being rapidly depleted, and even with her weapons, facing so many zombies, without a breakthrough, they were struggling immensely.
"Okay... I'll try," Zhu Hui said hesitantly.
"Mmm..." She mustered all her strength.
But she could only manage to create a small patch of frost on the face of the zombie directly in front of her.
"Zhu Hui, think about it, don't you have a boy you like? If we die here, you'll never see him again," Luo Xiaole thought for a moment and then desperately encouraged her.
"Qin Mingyang..." Zhu Hui gritted her teeth, seemingly finding new motivation.
She focused even more intently, and when she opened her eyes again, her expression was more earnest than ever.
A layer of frost suddenly appeared on the faces of the initial few zombies!
Their vision was immediately obscured, and they couldn't even hear, the zombies in front seemed to have lost their target, and their movements slowed considerably.
"Well done!" Luo Xiaole was very pleased.
"Everyone, now, attack in the 13 o'clock direction, let's create a gap." Luo Xiaole's brow was furrowed with seriousness as she shouted loudly.
"Swish!"
The slowed movements of the few zombies on the left bought them a few precious seconds, and the entire group, like a sharp blade, plunged several more steps into the zombie horde!
They could already see a weak point in the zombie defense ahead!
Luo Xiaole vaguely saw Li Xiaotian pulling Li Wen, and the two of them pushing some of the boys running with them back into the zombie pile to buy themselves time to escape!
Those boys were instantly swamped!
"Splash!" At the same time, Zhu Hui's mental power lost control again.
The frost on the faces of the slowed zombies on the left, no longer under control, melted away.
They returned to their previous combat strength, snarling and charging forward.
Just one step away!
Luo Xiaole was horrified.
She desperately searched for a solution.
Suddenly, she thought of something and rummaged through her bag, pulling out a half-empty bottle of mineral water.
"If you can condense frost out of thin air, then where there's water, can you even create ice?" Luo Xiaole turned her head, grabbed Zhu Hui, and anxiously asked.
"I... I think so... I'm not sure, I can try," Zhu Hui's heart was pounding.
"Later, I'll pour the remaining water in the direction we need to break through. When the water hits the ground, you try to activate your skill. As long as those few zombies slip on the ice, we can kill them in an instant and break through this opening," Luo Xiaole explained her plan to Zhu Hui.
"It's alright, don't be nervous. We just need to make the water slippery, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just focus," she encouraged Zhu Hui one last time.
Zhu Hui then took a deep breath, nodded, and signaled to Luo Xiaole that she was ready.
"Splash!"
Luo Xiaole found a weak spot in the zombie formation and directly poured the water out.
"Now!" she alerted Zhu Hui.
"Mmm...!" Zhu Hui gave a sudden surge of effort, and the water that landed on the ground, indeed, instantly began to frost over, then formed a thin layer of ice!
"Splat!"
As expected, those few zombies lost their balance and fell to the ground.
"Now!" Luo Xiaole signaled to everyone.
Mo Chen, seeing what had just happened and Luo Xiaole's actions, instantly understood her intention.
At this moment, another long saber was unsheathed, and he swung both sabers.
He rained down blows into the gap created by the fallen zombies!
The few downed zombies instantly had their heads burst open.
A gap large enough for several people to pass through simultaneously appeared in the zombie encirclement!
"Quick! Get out!"
"Charge!"
Seeing the gap, everyone's eyes lit up.
They scrambled and surged towards the gap like hungry wolves released onto the plains!
The instinct for survival made even Luo Xiaole's limbs move faster. She ignored the pain in her limbs and rushed out with the main group towards the gap!
Even Zuo Ran, with Xu Lingyan, followed at the tail of the group and broke out of the zombie encirclement.
"Towards the clock tower!" Luo Xiaole, running breathlessly in the middle of the group, reminded Mo Chen and Luo Shu ahead of their location.
Luo Shu, who knew the way, frantically cleared a path ahead, using Luo Xiaole's weapon to kill any zombies that tried to pounce on them along the way.
Mo Chen, with a few quick steps, approached Luo Xiaole, subtly observing her stiffening condition.
At the same time, he firmly guarded Luo Xiaole's right side with his two sabers.
Scattered zombies couldn't get close to them.
Zuo Ran, running unsteadily behind, saw this scene, and a surge of jealous rage threatened to incinerate Luo Xiaole.
"Once we reach a safe place, I won't let you off easily... Bean sprout!"
She couldn't help but think this.
The group fled like refugees towards the clock tower.
Along the way, someone would fall behind, only to be pulled up by a companion and helped forward as they ran unceasingly.
Zombies kept emerging from the gymnasium behind them, relentlessly pursuing.
Zombies also swarmed in from the sides.
But they were wearing clothes reinforced by Luo Xiaole's defensive skills.
As long as they weren't bitten on their necks, which were exposed, they were fearless.
However, the warning sounds from their clothes were steadily decreasing.
"Defense time remaining... 2 minutes..." the clothes constantly warned.
Zuo Ran and Xu Lingyan, along with the remaining members of Li Xiaotian's group, stumbled along at the rear of the formation.
They couldn't understand why people from Luo Xiaole's group ahead, who were bitten several times by zombies that lunged out,
could still run forward as if unharmed!
And not bleeding!
This defied logic!
After running for an unknown duration, the school's clock tower finally appeared before them.
The clock tower stood majestically, five stories high.
The bell tower loomed above, reflecting the desolation of the apocalypse under the sunlight.
The main gate of the clock tower was tightly secured by a remarkably sturdy iron chain.
"Beep beep, today's defense time has expired. Welcome back tomorrow."
The clothes emitted a cheerful notification, and then everyone felt the faint glow on their bodies suddenly vanish.
"Ah!"
Due to the sudden stop.
Several people behind the group, led by Zuo Ran, were suddenly pounced upon by nearby zombies and bitten!
"Don't come near! Ah!"
Two people from Mo Chen's original team, who were closer, were also taken down one after another, their necks severed...
"It's over!"
