Chapter 329 The Right Exit
Nathan walked up to the exit and <b>was </b>about to move aside the pile of hay when a voice came from behind
him
“Pick another exit. Too many zombies up there.”
He paused with his hands still on the haystack and then motioned for the others to follow him in a different direction.
“Mr. Chase, this is the closest one,” Rex called out from the crowd.
“Doesn’t matter. We’re switching.” Nathan changed course toward another exit.
The moment they opened it, sunlight poured in. A shrill shrick followed immediately after.
A gust of foul wind rushed at them as a middle–aged female zombie lunged forward. Her head hung at an odd angle, neck half–rotted and stiff, eyes staring wildly like a starving beast.
Snarl!
m!
Her head snapped sideways as someone smacked it clean off with a shovel.
Zombies weren’tcking at this exit either.
Nathan’s team followed closely behind, eyes alert and ready. Without needing instructions, they fanned out in a line and began cutting down the scattered zombies with shovels and des.
Henry burst out ahead of the others and wielded a massive iron rake. He plowed forward like a wild ox and drove the prongs through two zombies as he knocked them aside.
Theresa followed behind with <b>the </b>others. She watched their rugged but effective assault and silently nodded to herself. The power of the people really is limitless.
Some took the high–end route like Sage, building armbred camps. Others, like Nathan, kept it simple and fought with the grit of farmers.
It didn’t matter what the method was<b>, </b>as long as it worked.
Nathan’s team quickly cleared the zombies around the tunnel.
As they stepped outside, Nathan couldn’t help but nce at the exit Theresa had warned him about.
The moment he did, his eyelid twitched.
There <b>were </b>plenty of zombies ay their exit. Still, that first one was absolutely swarming.
Zombies crowded the tunnel mouth, howling nonstop like some twisted rally. If they had stuck with that one, there would’ve been no way out.
The thought made <b>Nathan </b>shudder

Chapter 329 The Right Exit
He turned to Theresa, his gaze shifting slightly.
Who exactly is shel
Confusion and shock flickered across his mind, but there was no time to dwell on it. After they dealt with thest few stragglers, he rallied the group before the rest of the horde caught up and led them charging down the mountain.
They may have looked rough, but Nathan’s crew worked well together.
Henry stayed at the front with his fron rake and plowed a path. The others fanned out on both sides and sprinted as they shed at any zombies that got too close.
After a short while. Theresa <b>saw </b>a boxy Khrushchyovka apartment buildinge into view at the foot of
the hill.
The building was old–chunks of the outer spray–coating had peeled off and revealed patches of red brick beneath. Smoke stains darkened the western edge of the top floor, <b>as </b>if a fire had broken out and spread across to the second window on the east side.
The whole thing looked like a giant coffin.
Tattered sheets and clothes still hung from the balconies and fluttered weakly in the breeze. The ce looked like it hade straight out of a horror movie.
“Hana’s toolbox is on the third floor. I’ll go first. Stay close, everyone. Once we’re in, stay sharp. Get in, get out, quick and <b>clean</b><b>, </b>Nathan <b>said</b>.
“Yes, sir!”
Their voices rang in unison. They picked up the pace and sprinted down the slope while zombies began to gather behind them.
Theresa and her group were at the rear. As they got closer, the building gave off an eerie, deathly chill.
Dark green moss climbed the lower walls. Clumps of spiky stinkweed ching to the camp and twisted alongside arge banyan tree nearby.
Bones littered the ground. It was hard to tell whether they belonged to humans or animals.
It had been nearly two years since the world copsed. Zombies didn’t infect animals, but they did eat them. When they couldn’t find people, starving zombies settled for wild prey.
Stray cats and dogs had disappeared/ Even rats were gone. Zombies had eaten them all. As the infection. spread farther, <b>wildlife </b>became increasingly scarce.
This area had clearly seen zombie activity. They’d devoured the strays,
Click–ck…
Nathan twisted the key inside the rusted lock. The horde was catching up just as the lock gave way.
“Get inside!”

Everyone surged through the back door into the building
ng!
Nathan mmed the door shut and locked it again. An elderly zombie hit the metal gate a secondter with a dull thud, snapping at them with itsst remaining tooth.
