Chapter 67 No Way Out
The city was nothing but a wastnd, overrun with hordes of zombies and the asional blood–curdling
<b>scream </b>
“Ahhh!”
On the outskirts, in a massive industrialplex just beyond the city.
A <b>sharp</b>, piercing screams erupted from the rooftop of a four–story warehouse building.
Boom!
A heavy stainless steel pipe came crashing down on a zombie, sending it hurtling back down the way it
Came<b>. </b>
But it <b>was </b>already impossible to hold the line.
Roar
Gr…
A <b>massive </b>wave of zombies climbed up a dirt mound piled high just outside the factory, their bodies heaving one over the next.
After stacking themselves all night–stepping on the corpses of their own–the undead finally reached the rooftop.
The first zombie that crested the edge was immediately knocked back down with a swing of a pipe. But right <b>behind </b>it came countless more ws grasping for the ledge.
Decayed, razor–sharp talons dug into the rooftop edge <b>as </b>mangled, gore–covered heads began to emerge- grotesque, feral, and horrifying.
They’d been starving too long. Their <b>pale</b>, clouded eyes were streaked with crimson madness from hunger.
They needed to <b>cat</b>. They needed flesh. They were <b>ravenous</b>,
Roar!
Two <b>zombies </b>leaped onto the roof at <b>once</b>.
Bang!
Bang!
Eight or nine men held the front line, swinging metal pipes with every ounce of strength they had, beating back the <b>onught</b>. Behind them, eleven or twelve women had picked up weapons of their ow
at the ws that clutched the rooftop’s edge.
There was no <b>way </b>out <b>behind </b>them.

They were already on the top floor–on the roof.
The stairwell had long been barricaded.
Below that? Even more <b>zombies</b>, packed wall to wall.
There was no retreat.
But as the seconds ticked by, the defenders began to tire. Their malnourished bodies–starved and weak for far <b>too </b>long–couldn’t keep up,
The zombies didn’t tire. They only multiplied..
Roar!
“Ahhh!”
A piercing scream from behind the front line.
A male zombie had somehow gotten through and attacked from the rear.
He wore a brand–new sneaker on one foot. The other was bare, half his foot gnawed off. The mangled limb dragged behind him, but his speed was terrifyingly fast.
Heunched himself off the tform, lunging straight for the nearest woman. She was on the ground in a blink, his jaw–missing several teeth–already descending toward her neck.
Whack!
A steel pipe came crashing down from the side, exploding the zombie’s skull with brutal force.
“Wendy!” Leo shouted, dragging her back.
“Leo!” Wendy trembled, clinging to <b>him </b>in feat.
But more <b>zombies </b>were swarming up behind them. The rooftop was overrun.
“It’s overrun! Everyone, climb onto the generator!”
Leo hoisted Wendy and scrambled toward the massive industrial generator–the highest point on the <b>roof</b>.
Everyone followed, abandoning the fight and making a desperate climb.
By the time they reached the top, the roof waspletely lost.
Zombies poured in from all directions, swarming toward the <b>narrow </b>safe zone like a tide. More and more came surging through the breached lines.
huddle
The generator stood barely six and a <b>half </b>feet tall, with barely enough space on top for everyo together. They clung to it like a flock of helpless sheep, pressed close, trembling,pletely surrounded by zombies–packed in tight from every direction. There was nowhere left to run.
The generator itself trembled under the weight of the surrounding horde.
Chapter 67 No Way Out
This was <b>it</b>. They were done for. Totally andpletely doomed.
<b>And </b><b>then</b>, just when hope had vanished, a thunderous engine roar tore through the factory.
A rugged armored car burst into view, roaring down the path..
Everyone froze.
The armored car crushed stray zombies in its path, then barreled straight for the factory building.
Boom!
It smashed into the zombie mound, scattering the entire makeshift “staircase” and flinging bodies into the air.
The undead that <b>had </b>been climbing were knocked flying–raining down from the sky like grotesque Then, a high–pressure st of water shot out from the car’s rooftop turret.
hail
A man stood at the turret’s opening, channeling the torrent with focused intensity. The water beam tore through the undead in massive waves.
Zombies clinging to the rooftop’s edge were sted away instantly.
Then-
Boom! Boom<i>! </i>Boom!
