Chapter 325 The Miners.
When James looked back down, the glowing eyes he had seen earlier had vanished.
“What is it?”
Theresa walked over to Tyger, who was standing at the edge of a near–vertical cliff on the mountainside. Below them was a pit about fifty meters deep.
Inside the pit was a horde of zombies.
The pit was packed with zombies howling
up at them, stretching their necks like animals waiting to be fed.
Theresa stood at the edge, where a few loose rocks rolled down. The moment the stones dropped, the zombies below went wild, trampling over each other, surging upward.
Dozens of zombies stared hungrily up at the <b>living </b>prey, going crazy as they tried to climb out of the pit. The ones closest to the walls began wing at the smooth rock, howling as they climbed. However, most of the zombies could only reach about twenty meters before slipping back down due to the slick walls.
They simply couldn’t get out.
Theresa’s eyes narrowed as she studied the pit wall.
Iron mines were usually sted open with explosives and then dug out with excavators, making the slopes terraced and smooth.
However, she noticed that this pit was too <b>smooth</b>.
It looked like someone had intentionally built it this way to trap the zombies inside.
“Who are you people?!” Suddenly, a cold voice shouted from behind.
Theresa turned to <b>see </b>that <b>a </b>group of people with weapons had silently surrounded them. The ones in front held old–fashioned hunting rifles. Others had shovels or machetes.
Their rugged appearance reminded her of wartime soldiers.
Most of them were in their forties or fifties. They looked <b>thin </b>but had strong builds. Their rough hands <b>and </b>safety helmets told Theresa that they w
the former mine workers.
Only one man stood out–he was in histe twenties.
Beside him stood a girl about fourteen years old. She hid behind the man and looked at them with wary
eyes.
“Ms. Hall, that’s the girl I saw earlier! James said quickly.
As soon as he spoke, the young man aimed his gun at them. “What do you want?” he asked sharply.
Suddenly, a <b>loud </b>rumble came from behind.
From the mountain above, a huge horde of zombies came <b>pouring </b>down toward them.

Chapter 825 The Miners.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
<b>“</b>D’mn! The zombie <b>horde </b>from the mountaintop ising down <b>again</b>!”
The young man looked at the approaching wave of zombies, hesitated a second, then turned to Theresa’s group and said, “Come with us!”
Then, he led the way, <b>heading </b>toward the tunnel James <b>had </b>scouted earlier. The others motioned for Theresa’s group to follow quickly.
<b>that </b>moment. Theresa saw that there was arge door at the bottom of the tunnel.
One by one, everyone jumped down <b>and </b>passed through the door deeper into the mine.
As thest of them retreated, the zombie horde reached the area.
One zombie worker, still wearing a safety helmet, lunged fast and high, aiming straight at the group.
Theresa was thest one outside.
However, she didn’t panic as she scanned the area casually, looking as if she was just out for a <b>stroll</b>.
Just then, a jet of water shot through the zombie flying at her.
Right after, a huge <b>hand </b>grabbed her shoulder.
“Get inside!” Nathan shoved her in forcefully, with a bit of annoyance.
Theresa was speechless at his actions.
As she stepped inside, he mmed the <b>door </b>shut behind her.
Bang!
The sound of zombies pounding the door echoed inside.
Bang! Thump!
The entrance was nowpletely blocked by zombies. The banging and wing sounds were loud and relentless.
With a cold expression, Nathan dropped the heavy metaltch. Others behind him quickly stuffed cotton <b>and </b>fabric into the doorframe to seal it better<b>. </b>
They waited until the noise was muffled to just distant zombie howls. Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief.
However, someone <b>soon </b>spoke up.
“Nathan, the mountaintop zombies got drawn down again. We’ve wasted all our effort!”
The moment that was said, everyone turned to look at <b>Theresa </b>and her group.
