Just as Liu Peng was looking smug.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" rang out from outside the door. It was a zombie. Liu Peng was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face drained of color.
"Oh my god, could I really be this unlucky?" He was just venting his anger, but he'd actually messed things up.
Lin Mengru was so frightened that she trembled all over. "What's outside the door? It can't be zombies, can it!"
Soon, the noise outside the door confirmed her guess.
Then came the loud banging on the door, clearly from zombies.
"Brother Liu Peng, what should we do now?" Lin Mengru quickly looked to Liu Peng for help.
Liu Peng was stunned for a moment, and he was so frightened that he trembled all over, but he still pretended to be calm and took out the walkie-talkie.
"Cangnan, how much longer until you're back! I'm being attacked by zombies here," Liu Peng asked in a low voice.
"It'll be another half hour or so!" Although Cang Nan's voice was no longer as weak as before, it was still feeble.
"Seriously?! Are you even my brother?! Can you recover faster?! It's been over half an hour! How am I supposed to stop you?" Liu Peng was getting impatient.
"This has nothing to do with whether we're brothers or not, I really can't recover!" Cang Nan said anxiously. Although Liu Peng had some minor flaws, he was still his brother of more than ten years. If he had the ability, he certainly wouldn't sit idly by.
"Damn it! How could it fail at such a crucial moment!" Liu Peng angrily cut off the connection. It seemed that he really had to rely on himself from now on.
Liu Peng's special ability is also quite strong, called Instant Kill. It can instantly kill any living thing within three meters of him. The closer the distance, the stronger the attack. If something blocks the way, the attack power is halved.
Looking at the rickety door, Liu Peng hesitated. If he used his superpower, he would have to open the door; if he didn't, the door might not even last five minutes.
What should we do? What should we do now?
Fine, I'll give it my all!
Liu Peng gritted his teeth and opened the iron door to the room.
Good heavens! What on earth is Liu Peng doing? Lin Mengru was completely stunned, her mind racing with a million thoughts.
That idiot Liu Peng actually went and opened the door to get himself killed! Has he gone mad?
In the blink of an eye! The moment the door opened, more than a dozen zombies pounced on it.
Liu Peng nimbly dodged the zombie at the door.
The zombies missed their target, but they quickly recovered, repositioned themselves, locked onto the living creatures in the house, and began to frantically pounce on them.
Lin Mengru closed her eyes in despair.
At that moment, a cold glint flashed in Liu Peng's eyes.
"Instant kill!"
With the use of the instant kill skill, all the zombies surrounding the door, and those within three meters of the door, were instantly dismembered and lost their life force.
"Wow! Brother Liu Peng, you're amazing!" Lin Mengru was almost stunned and quickly showered him with compliments.
"Bang!" Seeing that the zombies at the door had finally been cleared out, Liu Peng quickly closed the door.
"Finally, I'm free!" Liu Peng took a long breath and finally relaxed.
"Hey! Hey! Liu Peng, are you alright?" A frantic male voice came from the walkie-talkie; it was Cang Nan.
"Cang Nan, you're only remembering me now? Isn't it too late?"
"I'm so glad you're alright! You scared me to death!" Cang Nan said with a look of relief.
"I'm glad you're alright! I need to rest a bit more!" Cang Nan hung up the walkie-talkie. It was his first time using his superpower for such a long time, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Um, Brother Liu Peng, has the crisis been resolved now?" Lin Mengru asked timidly from the side.
"Probably! I've already killed that batch of zombies. The new batch shouldn't be coming up so quickly, right?" Liu Peng slumped on the sofa, panting heavily. Instant kills are very taxing, so he rarely uses them.
The two, who had been on tenterhooks, finally relaxed, but their relief lasted less than three minutes before the sound of zombies banging on the door rang out again.
"Brother Liu Peng, what's going on?" Lin Mengru was terrified.
"I don't know either! How could they have come so quickly?" Liu Peng's face turned extremely ugly. Weren't there no zombies around anymore? How could they have come back so quickly?
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The zombie, like a mad bull, pounded violently against the door with its hard head, as if trying to smash a hole in it. The dust on the wall fell like snowflakes under the powerful tremors.
"Brother Liu Peng, hurry up and think of a solution!" Lin Mengru urged.
"What can I do now? I've already used up all my abilities, and I can't use them anymore." Liu Peng was truly at a loss.
Is this really all we can do, just wait to die like lambs to the slaughter?
No, absolutely not! Liu Peng's eyes darted around like a spinning top, as if he were racking his brains for a solution.
Looking at Lin Mengru, whose face was ashen, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind like lightning.
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!" The zombies outside were still pounding on the door; it was estimated that the door would only last for three minutes at most.
Despite Lin Mengru and Liu Peng's trepidation, the door was still broken down by the zombies.
A horde of zombies swarmed in, rushing towards Liu Peng and Lin Mengru like madmen.
Lin Mengru and Liu Peng quickly ran towards the bathroom, the last barrier in the room.
The two of them rushed forward, afraid that if they were even a second slower, they would be devoured by the zombies.
The tall and strong Liu Peng arrived at the door first and opened it with one hand.
Lin Mengru was overjoyed and quickly slipped inside.
"Brother Liu Peng, wait for me, let me in first!" Lin Mengru shouted anxiously.
Liu Peng remained silent, holding the door open with one hand while continuing to look at Lin Mengru.
Lin Mengru thought he was waiting for her, and all her previous resentment towards Liu Peng vanished in an instant.
As expected of someone with a dance background, Lin Mengru, despite not having eaten her fill, unleashed tremendous speed with the boost of adrenaline, rushing to the bathroom door in just a few steps.
Just as she was about to reach the Gate of Hope.
"Get out of here!" Liu Peng suddenly glared at her fiercely and kicked her.
Lin Mengru was caught off guard and unable to dodge. He kicked her in the ribs and sent her flying four or five steps.
