Carol glared at Aldenan and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to come with us, you can leave now."
Aldenan lowered his head helplessly, as if all his strength had been drained away: "Leave? No matter where you go, the ending will be the same."
The noise attracted the children.
Pairs of terrified eyes looked over from afar, their faces filled with unease.
Kellogg glanced at the child, then turned back, wagging his tail as he said helplessly, "At a time like this, assigning blame is useless; the key is how to get out of here."
Bulville trotted over and said, "The task of escorting the children has been approved by the Dragon God. As believers, we have an obligation to fulfill the God's will."
Randall pondered for a moment, then said, "I have an idea. If we continue like this, we'll be caught by the horde of zombies sooner or later. Perhaps it would be better to split up..."
Kellogg narrowed his eyes: "You want to send some men to cover the rear?"
Randall nodded and said, "To be precise, it's about being bait."
“Draw the horde in another direction to buy time for the others to get to the safe house.” Randall picked up his sword and shield. “We don’t need many people; I can handle it all myself.”
Carol said, "You? I'd better go. I'm more suitable than you, in terms of combat ability..."
Randall disagreed, saying, "This is bait; combat ability isn't the key factor."
"Are you familiar with the streets and alleys of Tero City? Do you know how to attract the enemy's attention? Can you safely evade the zombie horde?"
The unexpected question drew everyone's attention.
Randall looked in the direction of the sound and saw Karin leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, watching him leisurely.
“Miss Foreman…”
Karin walked toward Randall, saying as she went, "I've lived in Terro for quite some time now, and I know every alley and every plank of land like the back of my hand."
Randall shook his head without hesitation and said, "I can't let you put yourself in danger!"
Karin tossed a pebble, and the next second, she teleported behind Randall.
“My ability allows me to move freely among enemies. As long as I’m careful, I can escape unscathed no matter the situation. Besides, while we’re arguing, the horde of zombies is slowly approaching,” Karin said in a low voice. “Or do you want to waste all your precious time here?”
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, and no one dared to voice any further questions.
Karin turned to Randall and said, "The safe house is no longer safe in the face of the zombie horde. I've already sent someone to contact the Valkyries, and they will airdrop there to pick you up."
Seeing Barbara emerge from behind the corner, Karin walked to her side, looked at her pale face, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Protect the child in your womb."
After saying this, Karin tossed a pebble and disappeared from everyone's sight.
