Chapter 858 The Door That Stayed Open
The ss door was smeared with <b>blood</b>.
Half a torn liver and a tangle of intestines were pressed up against it, grotesquely disyed like some living anatomical specimen.
Crack!
A sickening crunch echoed.
The zombie’s bones, crushed by the flood of <b>others </b>behind it, snapped with a loud pop–a whole row <b>of </b>ribs exploded through its chest, tearing through skin and muscle.
The jagged, pale bones, still dripping with flesh, jabbed straight into the ss, scraping with an awful and unbearable screech.
And just behind that door was the west exit.
But the path ahead was blocked.
They had two choices now: take <b>a </b>long, <b>winding </b>detour, or head into the center of the maze- shorter path, but far more dangerous
“I have an idea<b>. </b>
The voice came from behind Theresa.
She turned, along with the others.
A bloodied <b>young </b>man stepped forward.
She recognized him. He was the one who’d killed his own sister at the start.

“All these <b>dorms </b>are connected,” Harry <b>said </b><b>seriously</b><b>. </b>“You’ve got <b>admin </b>clearance, right? We can cut through the rooms,”
Five minutester, Theresa stood inside one of the rooms.
Each dorm was built to hold four people–clean white walls, barely twenty square meters. Two bunk beds, two lockers, one desk. That was it. No kitchen. No bathroom. Those were shared in the hall.
Each room had <b>two </b>doors, front and <b>back</b>, connecting it to the next.
They had just three rooms to cut through.
“These doors only open for admin ess,” Harry exined. “Try your code.”
Theresa nodded at Lucas.
Lucas walked up and punched in the string of numbers Dr. Klein had given them.
Ding!

The door slid <b>open</b>.
Inside, a <b>man </b>stood with his <b>back </b>to them, wandering aimlessly.
As soon as he <b>heard </b>the door, he turned-
His face <b>was </b>soaked in blood.
“Raaagh!”
He lunged toward them.
Shing!

The zombie dropped dead in an instant.
Lucas didn’t blink. He scanned the room, confirmed it was clear, then nodded.
Everyone followed <b>him </b><b>in</b>.

Once inside, Lucas‘ team shut the door, retrieved the gleamstone, and moved on to the next room.
Harry and the others watched them move with crisp, silent efficiency. Awe lit up in their eyes.
They followed closer than ever.
Soon, Theresa’s team reached the final room.
Only two zombies inside. They were gone in seconds.

They were in luck–<b>most </b>of the zombies were down the side corridors. The west exit stood right in front
of them.
The coast was clear.
Perfect timing.
<b>Graham </b>nodded, then dashed forward to the west exit, keying in the door’s lock.
The moment it clicked open, he motioned for everyone to move.
Theresa and the others slipped through<b>, </b><b>quick </b>and quiet, like professionals.
Then it was Harry <b>and </b>the civilians‘ turn. They bolted.

<b>“</b>Raaagh!<b>” </b>
Raaagh!*
*Rnaagh!”
Zombies charged from both sides.
Harry’s heart pounded alongside the others.
They knew if this had been Ark One’s upper ranks, the door would already be shut. They wouldn’t have hesitated to leave them for dead. They never did. Those people only cared about their own safety.
He had seen it too many times.
Panic shed in everyone’s eyes.
But to their surprise, the door stayed open..
“Move! Hurry!” Kyle shouted from the back.
Like <b>a </b>surge of electricity, the group sprinted forward with everything they had.
One, two…Seven, eight-
Thest one dove through the entrance-
“Raaagh<b>!</b><b>” </b>
A zombie lunged, just barely missing them by a breath.
