Just as Lin Mengru was about to despair, the door creaked open.
"Brother Liu Peng, I knew you wouldn't abandon me like this!" Lin Mengru excitedly hugged Liu Peng. For a moment, she was genuinely touched.
"Alright! Stop talking and come in quickly!" Liu Peng lowered his voice and quickly closed the door.
"Brother Liu Peng, don't worry! I will definitely thank you!" Lin Mengru quickly said ingratiatingly.
"Thank you? I don't want thanks, I want a repayment!" Liu Peng said meaningfully.
Ten minutes after Liu Peng closed the door, the zombies finally broke in and began to break down the doors one by one.
Amid screams and shouts, at least ten people died in just five minutes, all either unprepared or clinging to a sliver of hope.
At the same time, Canglan, having received the news, began to unleash his superpower: polar ice.
As the superpower was released, the temperature in the corridor began to drop visibly.
In just ten minutes, the temperature dropped to zero.
The moment the temperature reached 0 degrees Celsius, all the zombies stopped moving.
The young man, who was closing his eyes in terror, waiting for death to come, waited for a minute but did not experience the excruciating pain he had imagined.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the zombie in front of him had stopped moving.
The next second brought ecstasy, when a voice came from the walkie-talkie in his pocket: "Everyone, quickly clear the zombies from the stairwell."
A minute later, a door was carefully opened, and a head poked out.
"The zombie is really not moving!" He rushed out frantically and smashed the zombie's head with a shovel.
"Everyone, come out quickly! The zombies have really stopped moving!" he shouted excitedly.
A minute later, all the doors opened, and as if in a frenzy, everyone rushed out, smashing the zombies' heads in a fit of rage.
In Canglan's room, he braced himself on the ground with his hands, large beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was pale, as if he had been seriously ill.
"So zombies stop moving at 0 degrees Celsius?" Canglan's mind raced.
"This seems like a good opportunity. If I can report this, maybe I can get away from here."
"Jiaqi, wait for me! I will definitely find a way to come back!"
He took a deep breath and said with difficulty into the walkie-talkie, "I will withdraw my powers in five minutes. Now hurry up and reinforce the defenses. Then everyone get back to your rooms immediately."
Upon hearing Canglan's instructions, everyone quickly sprang into action, locked the door again, and returned to their own rooms.
Inside the room, Liu Peng had already seen everything through the peephole in the door.
"I didn't expect Cangnan to be so capable. Hey! What are you doing!" Liu Peng suddenly shouted at Lin Mengru, who was standing next to the cabinet.
Holding a bowl of instant noodles, Lin Mengru smiled awkwardly and said, "Um, Brother Liu Peng, I'm a little hungry. Can I eat something?"
Liu Peng glared at her fiercely, snatched the instant noodles back, and then threw her two slightly damp cookies.
"You're going to give me this to eat?" Lin Mengru looked at Liu Peng in disbelief.
“We’re trapped in this room now, and we don’t know how many days we’ll be stuck here! Nobody can get out of this floor, so let’s save our breath for now!” Liu Peng said with a righteous expression.
Then he turned around and opened the instant noodles he had taken from Lin Mengru, and also added a vacuum-packed braised egg inside.
"Didn't you say we should use it sparingly? Why didn't you use it sparingly? And you even added an extra braised egg." Lin Mengru was both angry and hungry, and her fingers started to tremble.
"That's you I'm talking about. I need to conserve my energy. If zombies get in, we'll have to rely on me!" Liu Peng said shamelessly as he put down the seasoning packets.
If it weren't for the fact that Liu Peng's side of the door was relatively thick, and that he had superpowers, Lin Mengru would have really turned around and left. This kind of shameless man is completely unreliable.
Five minutes later, Liu Peng was slurping up his instant noodles while keeping an eye on what was happening outside the door.
He suddenly turned his head.
"By the way! My little Mengru, is there any food left in your room?"
Lin Mengru thought he was going to say something! Upon hearing this, she almost fainted from anger.
There are still such shameless people in this world.
They actually dared to covet her food? Don't even think about it.
"No!" Lin Mengru said curtly. Her food had always been well hidden, and she had never revealed it when Liu Peng came to her room before.
"Alright then!" Liu Peng shrugged indifferently.
"Brother Liu Peng, could you give me some more food? I'm so hungry I'm dizzy and can't hold on much longer!" Lin Mengru said ingratiatingly.
"Stop talking! The zombies are coming again!" Liu Peng slurped up the instant noodles in two gulps, then poured every last drop of the broth into his mouth.
Lin Mengru has lost even the last bit of hope. Her stinginess is even worse than Li Churan's back then!
Meanwhile, outside the door, since Canglan had withdrawn her powers half an hour ago, the lingering chill in the corridor was quickly absorbed by the heat in the air.
Meanwhile, the zombies that had been blocked outside finally began to stir.
"Everyone went on high alert; they were about to launch another attack," Canglan's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Cangnan, you little rascal, how long will it take for your superpowers to recover?" Liu Peng quickly asked privately.
"It will take at least another hour. We can't keep going like this if it happens too frequently!" Cang Nan's voice sounded weak and listless.
"During this period of time, I can only rely on you for protection!" Cang Nan added.
At this moment, everyone realized that they absolutely could not let the zombies break through the innermost room; otherwise, without Cang Nan's special ability, they would surely become the zombies' meal very soon.
Five minutes later, the last trace of chill in the corridor dissipated, and the zombies finally began their attack again.
The sounds of banging on the door and screams rang out again, along with the sound of things breaking. Someone else had been broken into by zombies.
Lin Mengru was so frightened that she huddled in the corner.
"Brother Liu Peng, do you think we'll be alright?" Despite feeling utterly disgusted with Liu Peng, Lin Mengru had no one else to turn to for comfort at this moment.
"Don't worry, it's fine! Of all the rooms, our door is the thickest. Even if they find it, it won't be easy for them to break it down in a short time," Liu Peng said smugly.
"That's good! That's good!" Lin Mengru patted her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't for nothing that she had come here and suffered so much. At least Liu Peng was safer here.
