Chapter 264 Exit at the Edge
Just then, Theresa felt the pipe beneath her start to shake.
Hither h
Roar!

She turned her head and saw the aberrant zombie climbing up from the end of the pipe. It was using both hands and feet, and its two heads were squeezing up from below.
It really was a smart zombie. This one had already developed intelligence.
“Run!” Theresa shouted, urging the people in front to move faster.

With a <b>sharp </b>swish, it crawled toward Theresa like a giant mutant spider, <b>moving </b>fast with all four limbs.

“Faster!
“Come on, move!”
Just a little faster!”
She kept calling out <b>to </b>the people ahead.
The woman <b>and </b>kids had scraped their knees while crawling, but they didn’t slow down. Still, they <b>weren’t </b>fast <b>enough</b>.
The awful stench behind them was getting stronger and closer.

Bang
The aberrant zombie chasing her suddenly got stuck at the fork. Its second head had locked onto the woman and kids who took <b>the </b>other path. Now the two heads were stuck in the middle–one pulling left and the other right. Neither gave way, and they kept mming into each other, jamming the tunnel.
Theresa raised her eyebrows at the <b>sight</b>, then sped up and kept crawling forward.
The venttion ducts were like a <b>maze</b><b>, </b><b>running </b>through the entire third floor.

After crawling for a bit, she spotted the woman and kids again just up ahead.
Follow me!” <b>she </b>said.
This time. Theresa took the lead.
She crawled through the front tunnel and realized they’d reached the edge–there was an exit.
s
She quickly climbed over to the cover at the end and looked out. It was t the street. It was a quiet corner of the hospital, and there were hardly any zombies outside.
Her eyes lit up. This was it.
She kicked the stainless steel cover <b>and </b>broke it open. Seeing the <b>30</b>–foot drop, she pulled a climbing rope from her space.
She looked around for something to tie the rope to, but the duct walls were smooth with nothing to grab
Without saying a word, she punched the wall a few times and smashed a hole in it.
If there wasn’t a good spot, she’d make one.
Sometimes, brute force worked best.
She jammed the rope’s metal <b>end </b>into the hole she’d made.
“Listen up. If you want to get out, you’ll have to rely on yourselves, Hold on to me. If I can take you, I will. If I can’t, I’m not stopping. Whether you live or die, that’s on you.”
Theresa turned to the woman and the kids as she spoke.
She didn’t care if the woman was mentally unstable or if the kids were too young to understand.
That was <b>just </b>how things were.
As long as they didn’t threaten her safety, she’d help if she could. Theresa wasn’t totally cold–blooded, but her own life always came first.
The woman seemed to understand. She nodded quickly and handed both kids to her.
Right then, they heard more noiseing from the pipe.
This time, the shaking was much worse

-it felt like <b>a </b>whole swarm of zombies wasing.
Theresa looked at the kids. Without <b>hesitating</b>, she tied them onto herself and told the woman to hold tight to her back.
She was going to slide down the rope. If they made it, great If not, there was nothing she could do.
Once all three were strapped to her. Theresa grabbed the rope. That’s when she saw a flood of zombies swarming through the pipe like a pack of rats.
Leading the way <b>were </b>the kid zombies.

They moved fast in the narrow space.
Theresa pushed off hard, and just as the zombies lunged at her, she slid down the rope.

As she dropped, the hospital’s wall vent burst open like a broken dam, and a massive wave of zombies. poured out.
