"Cangnan, is there no other way?" Liu Peng asked.
“I do have a way to reduce the mortality rate. I’ve discovered that zombies are very sensitive to temperature. I can use my ability to lower the temperature in the corridor, which should slow down the zombies’ movement speed…” Canglan’s ability happens to be ice-based.
"That's great! As long as they slow down, we should be able to handle them." Everyone grasped at this as if it were a lifeline.
"However, I can only use it a maximum of five times a day, and each time I need a three-hour buffer period. During this time, I can only rely on you."
In other words, if someone is unlucky enough to have their door broken down by zombies when Canglan is not using his special abilities, they are basically doomed.
Everyone fell silent again. They had all forgotten that supernatural abilities have a buffer period, but they knew that Cang Nan had done his best and there was no better way at the moment.
"Alright then! This is the only way for now!"
Just then, Cangnan's walkie-talkie vibrated.
"Brother Canglan, it seems the zombies have discovered this place. What should we do now?"
"The zombies have already discovered this place? Where are they now?" Canglan quickly asked.
"They're still outside the fence, but I estimate they'll be here in about ten minutes."
Everyone present instantly changed their expressions.
"The zombies are here! They're here so fast! What should we do now?"
"Hurry back to your room, hurry up!"
Everyone filed out, returned to their rooms as quickly as possible, and then closed the doors.
Lin Mengru, standing at the door, was peeking around, hoping to find a chance to get in touch with Canglan.
But then Liu Peng, like a startled rabbit, darted out of the room and, without a second thought, dashed back to his own room. With a bang, the door slammed shut like a solid defensive barrier.
Lin Mengru, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered, as if she were a monk who had no idea what was going on.
What's wrong with Liu Peng? Why is he so panicked? Is some ferocious beast chasing him?
Lin Mengru wanted to ask, but Liu Peng completely ignored her.
"Whoosh!" Just then, the phone vibrated.
It was an announcement issued by Canglan.
"Warning! A massive wave of zombies is coming! A massive wave of zombies is coming!"
What? A huge wave of zombies is coming? Is this for real or fake? Why is the announcement only being issued now?
Lin Mengru peered cautiously through the narrow crack in the window, like a frightened deer. She was startled to discover that, without her noticing, the zombies had multiplied like a tide, densely packed around the protective perimeter.
Looking at the densely packed zombies, Lin Mengru was so frightened that her legs almost went weak.
It's true! What should she do? She was like a candle flickering in the wind, completely powerless against the zombies.
Previously, under Canglan's leadership, they had carefully set up a defensive line on the outer layer of the building to block the zombies, which should now be able to hold them off for a while.
She had to think of a way quickly while she had the chance; last time she escaped from the zombies' mouths, it was all pure luck.
However, how can one be favored by Lady Luck forever? How can one place all one's hopes on such fleeting luck?
Moreover, this time the zombies are completely different from the last ones. If she were to encounter that terrifying door-breaking disaster again, she would probably be doomed.
No! She must find a reliable support.
Before the zombies could climb the stairs, Lin Mengru, like a startled rabbit, tiptoed open the door and darted out of the room like an arrow.
"Knock knock knock!" Just as Cang Nan was busily setting up the room's defenses, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who is it?" he asked instinctively. This time, it wasn't that he didn't want to protect everyone like a god, but unfortunately, their weapons and equipment were severely lacking, like a candle flickering in the wind.
In addition, this time they used ultraviolet light to detect prey, so the more people gathered together, the more likely they were to become the zombies' primary target.
In order to return to H country smoothly, he cannot take any risks and can only protect himself.
"It's me! May I come in? I'm all alone in the room, I'm so scared! Brother Cangnan, can I come with you?" Lin Mengru launched into her usual smooth-talking manner, but unlike usual, this time she was genuinely frightened, like a startled fawn.
"I'm sorry, no! My room is also very small and can't accommodate so many people." Other men might have fallen for Lin Mengru's act, but Cang Lan was completely unmoved.
Adding another person is adding another burden, especially someone like Lin Mengru who has no ability to protect herself.
No matter how much Lin Mengru pleaded, he would just brush her off with a few words. As the zombies drew closer, Lin Mengru had no choice but to give up.
As she was about to pass by Liu Peng's room, Lin Mengru had a sudden inspiration: why should she place all her hopes on that Cang Lan?
Lin Mengru quickly arrived at Liu Peng's room door.
"Brother Liu Peng, it's me! Can I live with you?" Lin Mengru lowered her voice and said in a charming tone.
"I'm sorry, Mengru, my little darling, I probably can't help you this time!" Even if Liu Peng was driven by lust, he wouldn't be stupid enough to cause trouble for himself at such a crucial moment.
"Brother Liu Peng, I'm begging you, I'm really scared to be alone. Can you really bear to let me be eaten by zombies?" Lin Mengru continued to plead.
"But I'm really in trouble myself. People are selfish, Mengru, you should leave quickly! The zombies are coming up soon, and it's too dangerous in the corridor!" Liu Peng urged.
After all, if zombies come up and Lin Mengru is in front of his door, his danger level will increase significantly.
Lin Mengru was clearly aware of his little scheme.
Ha! Men, not one of them is any good! She had seen through them long ago.
"Brother Liu Peng, are you really so heartless? Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. As long as you are willing to protect me, I swear, I will do whatever you ask!" The implication in the last sentence is very clear.
Behind the door, Liu Peng hesitated. It was truly a pity that such a beautiful woman like Lin Mengru had died. If he saved her now, he could do whatever he wanted with her later!
"Brother Liu Peng! Are you really so heartless?" Lin Mengru outside the door was becoming increasingly anxious.
