Nathan led everyone charging out of the old building. The first thing he did once they were out was m the door shut.
Bang!
Raaagh!
The horde in front of the building heard themotion and came surging over.

Hungry!
So hungry!
That whole group of running prey was here now!
Raaagh!
Raaagh!
The overwhelming zombie tide surrounded them from all sides and left no path of retreat.
Even Henry had been leading the charge at the front. He was forced to a halt under the sheer weight of the horde..
Beside <b>him</b>, hispanions swung their heavy shovels wildly at the zombies on either side. Nathan was the strongest among them and gave everything he had to stabilize the situation with his powers.
As more and more zombies joined the fray, they ended up like food surrounded by ants and werepletely trapped.
Theresa had been following at the rear <b>and </b>shook her head as she watched the scene unfold.
Yeah… I really can’t expect much from a bunch of regr survors.
Just average people all around.
Average skills, average personalities. Nothing about them stands out.
On this trip, Theresa had figured them outpletely.
Mediocre <b>in </b>every way. But they had heart.
They were a group she <b>could </b>take in and put to use.
She looked at the approaching zombies with azy expression and was just about to raise her hand.
Just then<b>, </b>an elderly voice called out from behind her.
“Don’t you darey a hand on my son!”
The voice rang out. In the next moment, the zombies surrounding Theresa and the others suddenly <b>froze</b>.
Inside one of the apartments on the first floor, an olddy in a floral cotton coat opened the balcony <b>door </b>and stood there leaning on <b>a </b>cane.
The surrounding undead turned away from Theresa’s group as if drawn to something far more tempting. They rushed toward the old woman instead.
Theresa immediately understood what was happening
Lucas had once done the same thing at the pharmaceutical research facility. He gave up his life to <b>boy </b>time for the others to <b>escape</b>.

Quentin, who was standing beside her, suddenly came to a stop.
He turned to look toward the small garden near the first floor, where the old woman in the floral cont looked back at him through theyers of zombies. Her gaze was unwavering.
“Ryan, I won’t stop you anymore. I won’t let anyone else stop you either. Go forward. Go wherever you want. Don’t look back.”
Her mental energy surged outward in waves. To the zombies, it was like she had be the most mouthwatering piece of meat in the world.
Raaagh!
Radagh!
Raaagh!
In the blink of an eye, the old woman was swallowed by the surging wave of undead.
“We need to go now! Even the zombies from the pit areing!” Nathan shouted.
He had spotted the deep pit nearby that they had dug before. Zombies trapped inside were now climbing out in droves,
They couldn’t reach the top of the pit, but they were able to crawl toward the spot where everyone now
stood.
One by one, the pitch–ck figures mbered out, like the dead rising from their graves. They howled as they surged toward the old woman, ready to give her life.
As soon as Nathan shouted, Henry tapped into everyst bit of strength. He waited for the nearby zombies to thin out, then gritted his teeth <b>and </b>charged forward without hesitation.
The others followed immediately and started running as fast as they could.
