Chapter Ten: Josie is Missing
Someone let out a trembling wail.
Without turning his head, Lu Yuyang immediately made a decision: "The rest of you continue looking for an exit. You few come with me. Hold on for as long as you can."
Josie spoke from the edge of his pocket, "Looks like it's too late, I'll go distract them for you."
"There are too many zombies here, it would be very dangerous for you to show yourself."
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone behind him called out, "Senior, there's a side door over here, come quick!"
Lu Yuyang closed the door to the corridor as quickly as possible and turned to walk inside.
"Senior, look here."
There were still quite a few zombies wandering in the alley outside the door, but they weren't very dense.
"Ability users, step forward and get ready. I'll shout 'Open the door,' and everyone rush out together."
"Open the door!"
The door was pulled open, and Lu Yuyang rushed out first, several icicles piercing the heads of the zombies outside.
Everyone rushed out and quickly closed the door, trapping the zombies inside.
Before they could even catch their breath, they immediately braced themselves and began to deal with the approaching zombies.
Smelling the scent of living people, the zombies in the alley roared and pounced on them...
Hehe...
The gray-skinned zombie rushed in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Pfft...
boom……
With all their superpowers activated, the surrounding zombies were quickly wiped out.
"Shh!"
Lu Yuyang raised a finger to his lips, his expression grave as he reminded everyone to be quiet.
Da...da...
The sounds grew denser and louder.
Suddenly, a large group of zombies appeared at the entrance of the alley, wandering forward as if being pulled by something.
At this point, they had nowhere to hide; they were blocked by zombies from both sides.
If they make a sound, they will have no way out.
The fear from just now hadn't subsided when we were faced with so many zombies.
The more timid girls were trembling like leaves, and the girls covered their mouths tightly, their hands gripping the backpack straps so hard they turned white.
Despair gripped almost everyone's heart.
Lu Yuyang was the only one who didn't have time to think about anything else.
He looked around at both sides of the street, thinking about how they could escape if the worst happened.
The horde of corpses on the main street seemed oblivious to them, wandering past the alleyway entrance...
Everyone seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats, and dared not breathe, for fear that making any noise would attract the attention of the zombies.
But just then, a crisp and loud impact suddenly rang out.
The passing zombies suddenly turned their heads, their murky eyes quickly locking onto them.
The student whose backpack charm hit the metal trash can turned pale; he knew he had made a terrible mistake.
"sorry!"
There was no time for blaming or assigning blame. Lu Yuyang shouted urgently, pointing to the side with fewer zombies, "This way!"
Upon discovering fresh flesh and blood, the zombies behind them surged forward like madmen, completely blocking the alley.
Three superhumans led the way, but thousands of zombies were chasing after them...
The terrifying scene shattered the psychological defenses of the young people.
"Senior, are we stuck here?"
"No, there's another way out ahead."
Lu Yuyang responded firmly and charged ahead to clear the way.
But he knew that if he couldn't get rid of these zombies before his powers ran out, they would all become zombie food.
The commotion caused by the zombie horde was so great that zombies from the shops and alleyways ahead were also drawn to them.
Too many zombies were blocking their way, slowing their escape, while the horde of zombies behind them was getting closer and closer.
A resolute and ruthless look appeared in Lu Yuyang's eyes. "Everyone, grab your weapons and stay close. If you can't escape, find a place to hide."
The college students, who had no special abilities, gripped daggers and machetes, watching the zombies surge towards them like a tide. Their fragile mental defenses had long since crumbled.
"We can't get out..." The person speaking was filled with despair.
I don't want to die!
"Kill them with the weapons in your hands if you don't want to die!"
After Lu Yuyang finished speaking, he used his superpowers even faster.
But they were too few in number and there were too many zombies.
They were surrounded by zombies on both sides, and their living space was getting smaller and smaller.
Just as they were about to be surrounded by zombies, a piercing metallic clanging sound came from afar.
Clang! Clang!
The incredibly loud sound echoed through the quiet city.
Clang, clang, clang...
Apart from the zombies that had already approached Lu Yuyang and his group, the rest of the zombies following behind were all attracted by the sound and slowly changed direction.
Clang, clang...
Seeing the zombies change direction, Lu Yuyang's first instinct was to reach into his pocket, and sure enough, the piece of paper that had been in his pocket was gone...
His face turned pale instantly. He looked up into the distance, but the sea of corpses stretched out before him, and he couldn't see Josie at all.
Josie couldn't just stand by and watch her "power bank" perish here.
Without this "power bank," once her powers are exhausted, she will suffer the same fate as them.
In a sparsely populated area, Josie transformed into human form, banged her stainless steel lunchbox a few times, and then turned back into a stone and rolled forward.
They kept rolling and banging, bringing a large group of zombies out of the alley.
Lu Yuyang wouldn't waste the chance to survive that Qiao Xi had won for them. After suppressing his worry for a moment, he immediately led his men to break through the encirclement.
After exhausting most of their superpowers, they finally broke through the zombie encirclement and took refuge in a building.
Everyone was breathing heavily, thankful to have survived the ordeal.
Suddenly, someone let out a muffled groan.
"There are people injured?"
Standing next to Lu Yuyang, Zhang Hao immediately asked, "Who is it?"
The fat man, covered in sweat and clutching his scratched arm, said with a look of despair, "Yes, it was me."
His hand was still dripping blood.
Lu Yuyang frowned. "The smell of blood will attract zombies. Go upstairs immediately."
Everyone rushed to the rooftop in one go.
The fat man lay down against the wall. "You guys can go. Don't worry about me. I've had enough of this messed-up world!"
A girl next to me was sobbing, "If I hadn't run so slowly and you hadn't pulled me back, I wouldn't have been caught by the zombies. It's all my fault."
"This is fate. I have no superpowers, and I can't run. This might be a relief for me."
Can humanity truly survive in this world?
He just went ahead of time.
Everyone turned their attention away. In just three months, they had experienced countless life-and-death separations, and no one knew if they would be next.
Lu Yuyang walked up to him, glanced at him, and helped him up from the ground.
"Seniors, I won't hold you back any longer. You can go now, I..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Once you mutate, I'll deal with you personally."
Lu Yuyang had seen more than thirty of his colleagues mutate; after being bitten, the area around their wounds quickly changed color.
But he just noticed that the fat man's arm area hadn't changed color.
Because of this special case, he also wanted to see what would happen.
The fat man was placed on the innermost side, where he was watched by two superhumans.
Lu Yuyang approached the window countless times to look out.
As the setting sun cast its last rays, a few zombies wandered the streets, but the familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.
The fat man was also in great distress. He leaned weakly against the wall and said, "Why don't you just stab me and finish me off, so I don't hurt you later?"
Lu Yuyang walked up to him, stared at his wound for a while, and said, "Fatty, you've been bitten for over an hour. The area around the wound is normal in color, so I guess you probably won't mutate."
"real?"
The fat man, who had been on the verge of death, sat up abruptly, his eyes lighting up. "Really?"
Lu Yuyang patted his shoulder, "I've observed other mutated people. Their wounds change color almost within three minutes, and within ten minutes the virus spreads and they've turned into zombies."
Upon hearing this, the fat man burst into tears of joy.
Lu Yuyang stood up and said to the people around him, "Keep an eye on things, I'm going out to check the situation."
