Chapter 285 Another Zombie Horde
Something’s not right.” Lucas said. He slowed down and stopped beside her
“I already cleareil one <b>wave </b>of zombies from the subway, Theresa said. Her brows were tight with concern.
“Theresa, Lucas grabbed her arm, his voice low and tense, during the siege, we saw a lot of mutant zombies. Most of them had sharp hearing and smell. No matter where we hid, they tracked us down like bloodhounds.”
Theresa’s eyes shifted forward. She was staring at the pile of zombie corpses they had stacked days ago behind the steel wire barricade.
<b>What </b>began as a single rumble erupted into a storm of crashing, rolling thunder.
The deafening <b>roar </b>echoed deep in <b>the </b>tunnel.
It sounded like a thousand beasts charging straight at them.
Theresa’s eyes turned <b>sharp </b>in an instant. “Turn around! Run!”
She spun and took off. Everyone behind her turned too<b>, </b>scrambling to follow her deeper into the <b>tunnel </b>
Behind them, <b>the </b>subway station they had nned to exit was flooding with zombies.
They came like a ck wave, pouring in from every stairway and tunnel in the amusement park station. They stormed into the underground hall, pushed through the railings, and rushed toward the only tform.
This line <b>had </b>just one track. One tform.
The zombies charged without stopping. Fast and wild.
Theresa led the survivors in a full sprint into the dark tunnel <b>ahead</b>.
The corridor stretched long and deep, with no end in sight.
Three hundred meters behind, the first wave of zombies reached the entrance.
Some dove into the open subway cars, cramming in with nk eyes as they chased the scent of the living.
Others climbed on top of the train, racing over the cars like floodwater breaking loose.
Up ahead, <b>a </b>wall of steel wire stretched across the track.
The first wave died there, ripped apart. However, the horde didn’t slow.
More zombies pushed forward, climbing over the bodies. Some were only half–sliced, still alive. With their <b>torsos </b>intact, they wed at the ground, screaming, dragging themselves forward.
More and more made it through. Their numbers were too great.
Snap!

One wire broke. Then, another. The steel gave way.
The stampede roared forward like a wave from hell.
Fresh meat waited just beyond.
Dinner was served.
“Run”
Theresa’s voice cut through the noise like a whip. Everyone ran as fast as they could. While sprinting, she was already going over the tunnel <b>map </b>in her head.
The next station wasn’t far. <b>Two </b>miles <b>away</b>.
Just <b>one </b>short marathon.
They ran through the pitch–ck tunnel. Their feet pounded on the metal tracks.
Behind them <b>came </b>the sound of death. Inhuman screeches echoed through the tunnel like sirens. The zombies <b>ran </b>on all fours, faster than dogs. Their ws scraped metal. Their jaws snapped. They howled with hunger. The horde was closing in.
A thousand–feet.
Six hundred fifty.
Three hundred.
One sixty.
The unrelenting zombies were almost upon them when the earth heaved upward, forming <b>a </b>solid wall
The wall of earth shot up from the ground. It mmed down like a curtain. It stretched from the tracks to the ceiling.
The zombies crashed into it. They stopped, smashing against the new barrier.
That hundred and sixty feet? It was Theresa’s kill zone.
The wall bought them a moment to breathe. The speed–type ability users surged forward, pushing hard. They gained a quarter mile before the wall behind them cracked and fell.
The chase began again.
Every time the zombies got within a hundred and sixty feet, Theresa raised another wall. It temporarily slowed them down,
However, the physical disadvantage of being human was bing clear. People wore out le zombies kept going.
Theresa had to throw up walls <b>more </b>often now.
They weren’t even <b>halfway </b>yet, and she had already raised over a dozen earth walls.
Chapter 285 Another Zombie Horde
They still <b>had </b>at least half the tunnel to go.
At the rate the speed–type ability users were slowing down, there was no way Theresa’s ability couldst the whole way.
Each wall drained her. Her body was heavy. Her head ached.
She clenched her teeth and kept going.
If she were alone, this would be casy. However, she had people to protect now. These were her people. Her
residents.
Just then, her heamp caught something ahead. Arge shape gleaned faintly in the dark.
That’s…
<b>Another </b>subway train<b>. </b>
It had derailed or broken down before it reached the next station.
It now sat sideways across the tunnel, blocking the way forward.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Bang Bang Bang
There were still plenty of zombies packed in that vehicle.
Upon seeing the group approach, they went wild, shrieking, mming into the ss, pounding the doors, and wing at the windows with eyes burning in <b>hunger</b>.
