Chapter 365 A Whole New Floor

Blood–smeared zombie faces were approaching rapidly, too close forfort. Fortunately, they were still “fresh,” without any smell of decay or rotting flesh that might make you want to vomit.
They just looked hungrier and meaner.
Each one had its jaws stretched wide enough to tear the corners of their mouths raw, blood dribbling down as they howled like starving wolves.
Graham didn’t slow down for even a second. He swung that huge de of his like it weighed nothing, carving a path through skulls in the cramped stairwell.
Then something dropped from above.
A zombie, hanging upside down like a nightmare, lunged directly at Graham and shed its ws across his arm.
Harry’s stomach clenched; he believed that strike should’ve torn Graham apart.
However, Graham’s sleeve remained intact with no tears or scratches.

Just behind Graham, Dave jabbed his triangr de into the zombie and then flicked it aside dismissively. That was when Harry realized their clothes werepletely unscathed; not a single scratch was visible.
Harry and his group tightened their jaws. <i>These </i><i>guys</i><i>… </i><i>they’re </i><i>walking </i><i>around </i><i>in </i><i>gear </i><i>that </i><i>might </i><i>as </i><i>well </i><i>be </i><i>cheat </i>codes.
Graham’s team quickly cleared the remaining zombies from the stairs.
The floors above and below were locked tight behind reinforced ss. Dozens of zombies repeatedly mmed against the barriers, snarling and scratching, desperately trying to break through.
Too bad for them.
No one was opening those doors. Not today.
The living walked past, and the dead could only watch.
Basement Level 3 felt like stepping into a whole new world.
The narrow, barricaded residential corridors were nowhere in sight. Instead, there were spacious, open hallways with neatly arranged rooms.
The area consisted of living spaces, work areas, entertainment zones, and what seemed to be amercial zone, all divided by spotless ss doors.
Right now, they stood in the north sector–the work area. Silent offices lined the hall, each one sealed shut,

as if time had frozen here.
The hallway featured fully operational vending machines that were in good working order and well- stocked, offering soda, tea, sparkling water, dairy products, and rare items like chocte bars and instant
noodles.
Unbelievable… This ce feels like <i>a </i><i>different </i><i </i><ipared </i><i>to </i><i>the </i><i>nightmare </i>upstairs<i>. </i>
Theresa casually passed one, took Quentin’s hand, and silently kept the entire machine in her domain.
Everyone just stood there, staring.
Theresa looked back at them. “What? We’re the ones out here killing zombies. We’ve earned a snack.”
The others blinked at her. A <i>snack</i><i>? </i><i>She </i><i>didn’t </i><i>just </i><i>grab </i><i>a </i><i>snack</i><i>–</i><i>she </i>took <i>the </i><i>whole </i><i>d</i><i>*</i><i>mn </i><i>machine</i>.
Lucas‘ team showed no reaction; it was obvious they had seen this show before.
Harry and his group exchanged silent nces, none daring to argue.
Theresa led the way toward the west gate, casually snatching up every vending machine they passed as if it were routine.
Then they turned a corner.
That was when the smell of blood hit them.
The walls, floor, and office doors were stained and sttered with dark, dried crimson.
Then, the sound arrived: wet, disturbing chewing echoing through the hallway.,
Everyone froze.
At the far end, a pack of zombies cowered over a torn body, tearing and gnawing like feral animals.
One of them clutched a severed head, chomping down with sickening force. The moment it heard footsteps, it halted its bite and slowly turned, its dead eyes locking onto them as if it were prey caught in its sights.
Raaagh!”
Its jaw opened so wide that an eyeball it hadn’t swallowed yet fell out and bounced on the floor.
It abruptly lunged at Theresa and her crew, abandoning its half–eaten prize as soon as it saw fresher prey.
The rest of the pack followed, abandoning their “meal” and scrambling over each other in a frenzy.
Even the corpse they’d been eating twitched, stiffened, and staggered to its feet to join the pack.
Theresa didn’t say a word; a single sharp nce was enough.
Everyone quickly stepped back from the hallway.
Graham and his crew moved fast, pulling out steel wires and stringing them up across the entrance until i

looked like a deadly spiderweb.
The first wave mmed right into it.
“Raaagh!”

Steel hissed as des sliced through flesh. Limbs and heads hit the floor in a grisly rain. The zombies behind didn’t stop–they just kept shoving forward, mindlessly hurling themselves into the ughter.
In less than a minute, the hallway was silent.
The path was clear.
They were just steps away from reaching the third floor.
