Chapter 286 Pushing Past the Train
I’ve got an idea! Theresa dhouted. “We’ll use that train to block the tunnelt
m
She spun around and pointed. “Women, kids, the elderly, run ahead! All the men stay and help me posh
Theresa waved her arm to hurry the slower survivors forward.
The group moved right away
Laicas squad rushed to the train.
The elderly and children kept going, while the men pulled up short and stayed behind. Some women stayed too. They ran to the front of the train and helped however they could
With nearly a hundred people working together, the train jolted.
After that bit of give, the train was truly back in motion.
Lucas, Graham, and the rest gave it everything they had. Their veins bulged. They looked ready to tear up the ground by force alone.
Theresa finished raising another earth wall behind them. Then, she sprinted to the train.
She stopped in the middle of the subway car. As the others pushed it backward, she nted her feet and swung her arms hard.
Her strength, boosted many times by the system, hit like a beast. The train lifted off the rails.
Bloom!
It tipped sideways and mmed into ce<b>, </b>jamming itself across the tunnel.
A solid wall of steel.
Theresa <b>climbed </b>up onto the roof of the train.
As shended on top, she heard the earth wall behind her break apart. The horde had smashed through.
However, now, they were stopped by more than just an earth wall. A subway train blocked the path like <b>a </b>giant cork.
“Run!” she shouted..
This time, she didn’t raise a full wall. She only lifted the ground under the train.
Rumble.
The train rose upward, pressing into the ceiling like a wedge.
“How many powers does Theresa <b>have</b>?” Graham asked. He sounded shocked.
If he was counting right, <b>this </b>was the sixth.

<b>There </b>was also not a single repeat so far!
“No clue, Dave said, eyes wide. “All I know is she’s the best.”
“Move it!” Lucas snapped from the side.
“Yes, sirl”
The group began their final sprint.
However, thest mile was hard. The kids and old folks could barely lift their feet. Luckily. Theresa’s trai trap gave them more time. People helped each other. They dragged, pulled, and carried anyone <b>who </b>fell behind. Just as the zombies broke through and poured into the tunnel again, the survivors saw the next
station.
A subway tform. Empty and silent.
No train. No zombies.
“What station is this?” someone asked between breaths.
“Ridgefall Mall,” Leon said. He caught up to Theresa. Two lines meet here. We’re on Line Eleven. This is one of the quietest stops. The exit leads straight into the mall.”
“There’s another line?”
“Yes. Line Two. That one’s much busier. It connects to a lot of housing areas. Tons of foot traffic. Dozens of
exits<b>. </b>
Theresa processed that fast.
They had been running on Line Eleven. Here at Ridgefall Mall, the exits all led into the shopping center. When the outbreak hit, the mall hadn’t even opened yet. It was most likely, no one made it to this tform.
People from this area probably used Line Two instead.
Which meant, <b>just </b><b>like </b>at Ironspire Station, Line Two <b>was </b>probably full of zombies.
She ran onto the tform.
The rest of the group stumbled behind her, dragging each other forward.
Theresa scanned the tform. Dust covered the floor. The signs. The benches. Even the trash cans..
Not <b>a </b>single footprint.
No one had passed through here!
It <b>really </b>was safe.
However, they couldn’t stay here.
<b>Even </b>if the zombies from Line Two didn’t find them, the horde behind them would.

“Theresa Lucas said,ing up besitle her, “the next stop is Central Hospital. That ce is packed with zombies. We can’t head there.<b>” </b>
While Theresa was nning, Lucas had been doing the same.
He held out the subway map for her to see.
They <b>were </b>at Ridgefall Mall. They couldn’t go <b>back</b>. Going forward <b>was </b>worse. There was only one choice left. They had to enter the mall.
“Ms. Hall, Leon said. He was breathless but steady. “I know this ce. Even though Line Eleven stops here, the transfer point is a thousand feet from this spot. We can use Exit 3. It goes straight into the mall.”
Theresa looked at the station map
It showed a long hallway that linked to the <b>mall</b>.
She gave a firm nod. “Alright. Into the mall we go.”
All one hundred and fifty <b>survivors </b>climbed the stairs in silence.
Leon led the way. They stepped off the Line Eleven tform. Every eye was alert for danger. No zombies crossed their path.
Still, dried blood stained the walls <b>and </b>floor.
Theresa guessed a few people had been in the mall when the outbreak started. However, Line Eleven didn’t have many riders. Most of the infected likely ended up near Line Two<b>. </b>That meant they still had
time.
