Second floor. Third floor. Fourth floor. Fifth floor.

People were climbing on every level, but the zombies kepting, piling up on each other like a grim staircase,yer byyer, chasing upward.
The n had been simple: escape to the second floor, gain a little height, then climb toward the higher rooftops.
The second floor held the most survivors, the third slightly fewer, and each subsequent floor saw the numbers drop exponentially.
At the very top, the fifth floor, only about ten people had made it that far.
But tragically, even among these ten, the constant attacks had whittled them down. Only five remained.
Now, the five huddled inside the trash bins of the fifth–floor dump.
They dared not breathe loudly, covering their scent with piles of filthy garbage, hiding from the wandering zombies around them.
Darian cradled a little girl in the innermost bin. His father hid just outside.
<i>The </i>girl was about ten, small and frail, clutching Darian like a frightened kitten, her wide, tear–bright eyes scanning for danger.
Suddenly, amotion erupted.
A nearby trash bin was flipped.
Someone had been discovered.
The surrounding zombies lunged like predators drawn to fresh meat.
A chorus of guttural growls and screams filled the air.
The man who had been exposed struggled violently. Panicked beyond reason, he kicked over every nearby bin, sending the others toppling.
ng<i>! </i>Bang!
The other two trash bins werepletely toppled.
The people hiding inside were thrown out.
Even Darian’s and his father’s bin shook violently, the tremor rattling all the way from the innermost corner to the outside,
Growls filled the space around them.
Green–glowing eyes locked on the three revealed people.

Chapter 416 The Final Floor
The zombies tore through them mercilessly, ripping flesh, crunching bone.
The screams rang right beside the three of them.
The zombies lunged, chewing and tearing, the sounds magnified into a horrifying roar.
One ripped open a man’s skull.
Another devoured his brains.
Another tore into his abdomen, biting down on the soft organs inside.
The sharp teeth shredded his liver with sickening crunches.

The grinding of bone and the spasming screams of agony filled the air, sending every survivor into sheer
terror.
Darian pressed a hand over the little girl’s mouth, holding her tight as she trembled, gripping his arm like a lifeline.
The stench of blood and decay seeped through theyers of garbage.
Then they heard it: the unmistakable sound of something moving above them.
A drop of blood fell on their faces.
When they looked up, they saw a gaunt, skin–and–bone face, blood and flesh mangled, one eye gouged out, the remaining gray–white eye lifeless yet fixated on them.
A living human scent wafted through the stench of trash.
The one–eyed zombie’s remaining <i>eye </i>glowed green with excitement. Its mouth opened wide, dripping with blood, a piece of brain sliding from its jaw after its recent feast.
“Argh…”
Just as the zombie lunged toward them, a figure shot out from another trash bin nearby.
With a powerful shove, the person knocked the zombie aside, then grabbed the two children from the bin and surged forward with an incredible burst of strength.
Darian, held by his father, widened his eyes as zombies lunged at them one by one.
His father moved like a resurrected superhero, smashing through the horde with unstoppable force,
They were almost through the crowd when his father stumbled, sending them tumbling out.
The zombies behind surged forward and leaped.

In that desperate moment, Chadric hurled both children clear.
“Dad! Dad!”
Darian, flying through the air, watched his father growing farther away, the horde closing in behind him 3

Tears welled in his eyes as he let out a sharp, panicked scream.
Then, a blur streaked past him.
Darian’s eyes widened as he saw a tall, unwavering figure appear before him.
Theresa swung her katana at full speed.
The de hummed with raw power, vibrating through the air.

Whoosh!
A sh of steel struck.
Theresa’s de sent every zombie attacking Chadric flying, clearing the way.
