Qiao An'an, Chi Xiaoyu, and Ye Jing worked together to kill three zombies in an instant, which also encouraged the communications department employees who had been shrinking back.
They all looked for suitable weapons among their surroundings.
Some people brought chairs, some brought sticks, and one even rushed out with a microphone to help.
Zhang Qiang grabbed a fire extinguisher and smashed it into the head of a zombie rushing towards him, causing the zombie's head to split open.
Many hands make light work.
With the help of others, Qiao An'an and the others quickly wiped out more than a dozen zombies.
After killing the zombies, they pried open the locked door of the communications department.
The security patrolman who had pushed the zombies in was gone. Qiao An'an wanted to take the elevator to the top floor to deal with Dr. Yu and his group, after all, to catch the thief, you have to catch the leader first: "I want to go to the top floor!"
Zhang Qiang: "My card can only take me up to this floor at most."
The colleague who had been talking to Zhang Qiang earlier handed his card to Qiao An'an: "I have the highest access here, so I can go to the second-to-last floor. You can go to the second-to-last floor first, and then take the stairs to the top floor."
Qiao An'an took the card and prepared to swipe it to access the elevator.
Zhang Qiang and the others wanted to go with them, but Qiao An'an stopped them: "You don't need to go."
Hearing Qiao An'an say that, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Why won't we go together?"
The communications department has surveillance cameras throughout the building.
Just now, Qiao An'an saw that all the security patrolmen who were shooting at Chen Zhou on the second floor had withdrawn, while Chen Zhou and his team were working hard to drive the zombies out of the building. Qiao An'an pointed to the surveillance camera in the lobby and said to Zhang Qiang and the others, "The lobby on the first floor is in complete chaos. The zombies outside are about to rush into the building. There are a few of us on the top floor. You are responsible for calling the survivors on other floors to support the first floor."
Previously, it was because they had to fight zombies to the death.
No one noticed the footage from the surveillance camera.
Now that Qiao An'an has said this, everyone has turned their attention to the surveillance camera and seen the precarious entrance to the first floor of the building.
With so many zombies outside, can they really hold the building's doors?
The more they approached, the more panicked they became.
Seeing everyone staring at the screen in lingering fear, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but yell, "What are you all standing there for? If the Great Wall can't hold, we'll all die!!!"
Zhang Qiang's shout woke everyone up.
They all went downstairs, calling out to the survivors on each floor as they went, asking them to come down and help.
Meanwhile, Qiao An'an and the others had already entered the elevator, but the card couldn't be swiped to activate the elevator after a long time.
Chi Xiaoyu: "The people on the top floor should have already disabled their elevator card access."
As Chi Xiaoyu spoke, the lights inside the elevator suddenly flickered.
Qiao An'an shouted that something was wrong and grabbed Ye Jing and Chi Xiaoyu as they rushed out of the elevator.
As soon as the three rushed out, they saw that all the elevator buttons were black, indicating that the people on the top floor had seen them enter the elevator and stopped all of them.
Qiao An'an snorted coldly: "They're scared!"
Qiao An'an and the others prepared to climb the stairs.
The large screen in the empty communications department was still playing the first-floor surveillance footage.
A familiar petite figure appeared in the surveillance footage. The owner of that figure was Xu Ruoyu, who had come to the safe zone of the capital with Qiao An'an and the others. However, at this moment, Xu Ruoyu was a zombie with her eyes rolled back.
She mechanically followed the horde of corpses, crashing into the building's doors.
However, she was too small.
Several times, he was trampled to the ground by other zombies.
Fortunately, she is in zombie form now, otherwise she would have been trampled and unable to get up.
The doors to the lobby on the first floor are made of bulletproof glass.
Even with its sturdiness, cracks were already beginning to appear.
Shen Zhou felt that if things continued like this, the door on the first floor would soon be broken open. He suggested that he, Li Jianguo, and about a dozen healthy young people block the door so that the elderly, women, children, and weak survivors could run to the second floor first.
The survivors ran to the second floor.
They retreated again.
The elevator is no longer in use. There is a very thick iron safety door between the elevators on the second and first floors, which is more reliable than a glass door.
Everyone thought it was feasible.
Immediately, someone organized the elderly, women, children, and the frail to evacuate first.
Everyone retreated in an orderly manner.
After everyone who needed to evacuate had already moved to the second floor, the glass door had cracked in several places, each about 20 centimeters wide.
The sound of shattering glass meant that the door would soon no longer be able to hold back the zombies.
Shenzhou and the others exchanged glances: "One, two, three!"
After counting to three, everyone let go at the same time and then ran frantically toward the elevator on the second floor.
As everyone let go.
The zombies outside also swarmed in.
The young man who was running at the back was instantly swallowed up by the horde of zombies. Chen Zhou tried to save him, but he had already been bitten on the neck by a zombie, and then a second and a third started tearing at him.
With his last breath, he shouted to the sunken boat that was trying to turn back to save him, "Don't worry about me, hurry... go..."
Before he could even utter the word "go," his throat had already been bitten off by a zombie.
Shen Zhou could only silently memorize the young man's face, clench his fists, and turn to enter the emergency exit.
The moment the door closed, the zombies pounced.
Fortunately, the security door was made of very sturdy material, and the zombies couldn't break it open from the outside.
Shenzhou and his team went up the stairs from the security door to the second floor and looked down at the first floor through the window through which the security patrolmen had previously shot at them.
The first floor was teeming with zombies.
Some zombies even fell on top of other zombies, trying to climb to the second floor.
The sight made the survivors back away again and again: "They wouldn't actually climb up here, would they?"
At this moment, Zhang Qiang and the others had already led the other survivors from the building down.
Zhang Qiang told Shen Zhou and Li Jianguo about Qiao An'an and the others going to the top floor to find Dr. Yu and his group.
Shenzhou and Li Jianguo decided to go upstairs to help.
Zhang Qiang panicked: "You can't leave! If you leave, we'll be leaderless!"
Looking at the dense horde of zombies below, the others echoed Zhang Qiang's sentiments: "Yes, you can't leave. Without you, we can't deal with the zombies."
The second floor houses the building's restaurant.
Shen Zhou noticed that there were snack stalls on both sides of the restaurant, and seats in the middle for the building staff to eat.
The snacks in the restaurant are all made to order, and each snack stall has its own gas and cooking oil.
Chen Zhou took out cooking oil from a snack shop and poured it on a zombie that was climbing up to the second floor by stepping on other zombies. The zombie slipped and fell down as the cooking oil was poured on it.
Everyone followed suit.
They all followed Chen Zhou's example, taking out the cooking oil from the snack shop and throwing it downstairs. In no time, they had emptied the second-floor snack shop of all its cooking oil.
Soon, the ground and walls on the first floor, and even the zombies themselves, were covered in cooking oil.
At that moment, Chen Zhou lit the lighter in his hand and threw it to the first floor.
