After the man finished speaking, the man next to him who was holding a gun fired at us. Before I could even take out my phone to activate the shield, I saw a dense barrage of bullets suddenly stop in mid-air in front of us, and then fall to the ground a few seconds later. I initially thought that Ji Lin'an had activated the shield first, but I didn't see the shield after the bullets landed. Ji Lin'an also looked at me with a questioning expression.

The people opposite us froze in place. Some were still trying to fire at us, but their guns inexplicably vanished from their hands. Suddenly, my hand felt empty, and when I looked down, my gun was gone too. One by one, the guns in everyone else's hands disappeared as well. Suddenly, the system popped up...

"Master, in order for the game to continue, the system will reclaim the weapons redeemed with points, and all points will be returned."

Before we could react, I saw a large number of zombies suddenly surge behind the group opposite us. I immediately pointed behind them and said, "Look, a horde of zombies!"

It's no exaggeration to say that there were at least a hundred zombies surging in, and they moved at least three times faster than the zombies we had encountered before. The man leading them was unwilling to turn around, as if he thought I was distracting them. Only the two men at the back turned around and said, "Brother, the zombies are really coming."

Two men who saw the zombies quickly ran towards us. Several people opposite us turned around and, upon seeing the zombies, also instinctively moved a few steps toward us. Only the man next to Kaka remained calm and composed. He also had a gun in his hand, and he turned around and fired at the zombie horde. Several zombies in the front immediately fell to the ground.

Hearing the gunshots, the zombies became even more agitated and moved quickly toward us. I looked to the left and right. To the left was a sunken rock pit, beyond which was a rock wall that was impassable. To the right was a protruding rock slope. I immediately said, "Let's run up the rock slope first."

An Xin, who was standing on the right, quickly ran towards the hillside. The hillside was less than two meters high. After standing on it, An Xin said immediately, "This path won't work, it's too difficult to walk!"

The people opposite us had just run towards the stone slope when they heard me shout. Before they even climbed the slope, they heard An Xin's words. One of the men had somehow run into the large pit on the left. Seeing that there was no way to go, he had to run back to the surface. Now, there was no way to go on either side, only the cliff behind them.

The man who first spotted the zombies on the other side ran towards us. Upon seeing the rope we had just come across, he excitedly shouted, "There's a rope here that we can use to get to the other side!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the man eagerly pulled on the rope and began to climb toward the other side. Perhaps he was too hasty, for he lost his grip and fell off the cliff. At the critical moment, Ji Lin'an raised his gun and fired two shots at the falling man.

The people on the other side also arrived and saw what was happening. Although the leader was a little angry, he didn't care about anything else when he saw the zombies behind him getting closer and closer. He took off his clothes, wrapped them around his hands, squatted down, grabbed the rope, and climbed towards the other side.

The man with the clairvoyant eye, who was reaching for the rope, said anxiously, "Old Ji, let's hurry over, don't let them get there first."

After Qianliyan finished speaking, the opposing men pushed past him and crowded around the rope, scrambling to climb up. Only Kaka and the man beside him remained motionless, still firing at the oncoming zombies. Ji Lin'an didn't say anything, but also pushed through the crowd and stood in front, frantically firing at the zombies. He didn't forget to turn around and say, "Take advantage of this time to use your skills to rack up points."

As soon as Ji Lin'an finished speaking, although some people had doubts, they all began to use their skills to farm points. Chen Hu was the second to step forward. After activating his clone skill, he took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to his clone. Chen Hu's consciousness switched into his clone and rushed towards the zombie horde.

Thousand-Mile Eye used ice spikes to kill zombies, and Windless used fire attacks to set the zombies ablaze. The zombies that were about to get close to us fell to the ground in pain. Song Yi used a throwing axe to kill a zombie. An Xin had just used 100% accuracy and all his skills were still on cooldown, so he could only stand to the side with me.

The number of zombies was increasing, and everyone was getting tired of killing them. I said, "That's enough, let's hurry up and cross the cliff."

As soon as I turned my head, I discovered that the rope connecting us to the opposite cliff had been cut. I immediately said, "Old Ji, the rope has been cut. We can't get across."

Without stopping their work, everyone turned to look, then quickly turned back to continue killing the zombies. Zhang Funan said angrily, "These little bastards actually cut off our retreat. We should have just killed them."

Ji Lin'an said, "Everyone, don't worry. If we can get here, we can get there. Let's get our skills off cooldown first."

Zhang Funan's skill was the first to cool down. After it cooled down, he stood aside and shouted at Kaka and the other two, "Kaka, your teammates have all abandoned you, and you're still calmly grinding for points."

Kaka turned his head and glanced at them without saying a word. The man next to Kaka also remained silent, continuing to accumulate points. After a moment, everyone stopped attacking, and Ji Lin'an walked towards me: "Let's use the Anywhere Door to go back."

I nodded and called everyone over. I looked at Kaka in the distance and then at the countless zombies. I felt a little relieved, but I didn't say anything. Suddenly, Wufeng reached out and snatched Ji Lin'an's gun, aiming it at Kaka and the others and firing. However, as soon as the gun was in Wufeng's hand, it gradually disappeared and returned to Ji Lin'an's hand. At this moment, the man next to Kaka also turned around and saw Wufeng's actions. The man next to Kaka turned around and fired at Wufeng. Wufeng instantly grabbed Xiao Dian beside him and shielded him. Seeing this, I lunged and tackled Xiao Dian and Wufeng to the ground. The bullets grazed past us without causing any injuries.

The man opposite him stood still and laughed, "A grown man launching a sneak attack, using a child as a shield, and then having a woman save him—what a pathetic sight."

Wu Feng glanced at Xiao Dian and me, who were also lying on the ground, a hint of panic and guilt in his eyes. He immediately got up and patted his butt: "I didn't mean to. I didn't think things through in the heat of the moment."

I helped Xiao Dian to his feet and retreated behind Ji Lin'an. I didn't look at Wu Feng again; I was afraid that if I looked at him even once more, I would want to kill him. He had become someone I hated to the extreme.

The man next to Kaka continued firing at the zombies that were rapidly approaching us. Ji Lin'an also joined the fight, turning to me and saying, "Su Su, open the Anywhere Door and take us back now."

I nodded and agreed to open the portal and enter the coordinates of the safe house, but the system prompted: No safe house matched, entry is not permitted.

I quickly said, "Old Ji, we can't go back. We were unmatched as soon as we left the safe house and can't get back in."

Ji Lin'an frowned: "Wait, let me think of something."
