Meanwhile, the other students called for help from the other side of the ssroom.
“The zombies are breaking through!”
Heidi immediately ran over to help the others. Seeing the zombies gradually crawling through the barricade, she swung her baseball bat and struck several heavy blows in quick session.
<i>Whack</i><i>! </i><i>Whack</i><i>! </i><i>Whack</i><i>! </i>
She eventually managed to repel the zombies.
In that way, they held their ground against the horde of zombies.
Barrett directed the group of male students, supporting the barricade of tables and chairs in various directions. Meanwhile, Heidi ran around, wielding her baseball bat and smashing the heads of any zombie that tried to wriggle through the barricade.
Margaret sat copsed on the ground, frantically scooting backward in horror. Her eyes were wide with fear as she watched the situation unravelling before her.
Time ticked by, <i>second </i>by second…
Zombies continuously swarmed through the broken windows.
The students gritted their teeth, barely managing to hold their ground.
Heidi’s arms had gone numb from swinging the baseball bat without rest.
Barrett and the other students–their shoulders, backs, and other body parts braced against the barricade–were bruised and sore from being pounded countless times by the zombies outside.

It was particrly true for Barrett, who was desperately gripping a corner of a table with one hand to keep the barricade in ce.
His hand was so sore and numb that even his nerves were tingling.
He clenched his teeth and endured the pain.
Vroom!
The sound of a car engine roaring to life came from outside.
Theresa was keeping watch over the Level 4 zombie king’s head while
simultaneously monitoring Quentin’s movements through the window. Hearing the roar of the engine, she shouted, “Just hold on for another thirty seconds!”
Her words reignited the hope of survival in the hearts of the students.
<i>Thirty </i><i>seconds</i><i>! </i>
No matter how much pain they endured, they had to hold on!
Twenty<i>–</i><i>five </i><i>seconds</i><i>! </i>
They were almost at the finishing line!
Twenty seconds<i>! </i>
Each second seemed to pass at an excruciatingly slow speed.
In fact, time moved so sluggishly that every second stretched into an eternity.
They began to sweat profusely, cold sweat dripping down their backs as more and more zombies shoved against the barricade with immense force.
The barricade was on the verge of copse at this point.
As the barricade teetered precariously, they gritted their already sore jaws.
<i>Hold </i><i>on</i><i>! </i><i>Please </i>hold on!
<i>Fifteen </i><i>seconds</i>!

Just then, a muffled voice caught their attention.

“T–There… Look over there…” Margaret pointed toward the back door in terror.
The other students, doing their best to maintain the barricade, turned to look…
The back door!
They were horrified by the sight–the back door waspletely undefended!
The door opened outward.
And Margaret had removed the only thing jamming the door handle—the baseball bat that had been acting as a makeshift lock.
Due to the heavy pounding from the zombies outside, the door sprang open from the recoil.
Several zombies eventually noticed the gap that formed when the door swung
open.
What started <i>as </i>a slight crack gradually widened until a hand could fit through the gap!
A grayish zombie hand reached through the crack, its fingers bent and twisted into ws.
Crack<i>! </i>
A zombie hand had grabbed hold of the door!
“Mr. Collier!” Heidi went pale at the sight, Gripping her baseball bat, she hesitated for half a second before she dashed toward the door and attempted to knock the zombie’s hand away.
Unfortunately, it was as the saying went–when it <i>rained</i>, it poured.
<i>Crash</i><i>! </i>
The windows they were defending shattered at the same time.
An evenrger wave of zombies surged forward, pushing against the already

teetering barricade of tables and chairs.

Barrett and the students, who were holding the line with all their strength, were forced backward.
Their feet slid backward several inches as the powerful zombies shoved the barricade forward by several inches.
<i>Bam</i><i>! </i><i>Bam</i><i>! </i><i>Bam</i>!
More zombie hands–and even zombie heads–squeezed into the ssroom.
<i>Bam</i><i>! </i><i>Bam</i><i>! </i><i>Bam</i><i>! </i>
The zombie hand clutching at the back door was slowly widening the gap.
Fortunately, the door kept mming shut again every time the gap widened, because the other zombies were mindlessly ramming into the entrance.
Still… zombies were relentless and fearless creatures.
The zombie persistently wed its way inward. First the elbow, then the arm… and then its head squeezed through the gap in the door.
At that moment, a thunderous rumble shook the entire ssroom.
The car had finally arrived!
The moment the vehicle stopped outside the window, Theresa pushed open the window and climbed out with the pressure cooker held carefully in her hand.
She quickly dealt with the zombies swarming around the car.
Once the nearby zombies were in, she shouted to the students inside the ssroom.
“Get ready toe out!”
Barrett heard her voice, his heart surging with a sliver of hope,
“Let’s go!”

The students immediately released their grip and turned to run.
s
The barricade of tables and chairs they had been supporting instantly copsed behind them.
As the barricade came crashing down, it buried arge number of zombies under the rubble, effectively buying them several precious seconds.
But now, the real danger… was the back door!
Roar!
The zombie that had managed to stick its head through the door was twisting and jerking around, trying to force its mangled body into the ssroom.
At the same time, more and more zombies began to spot the widening gap. They hungrily grabbed at the door, zombie hands wing at the opening to push their way inside.
<i>Roar- </i>
The students broke into a sprint.
Heidi was the first to reach the window, but she had no strength left to pull herself
out.
Just as she was struggling to climb over the window, a hand suddenly grabbed her by the cor and tossed her into the car.
“Miss-”
Theresa flung Heidi into the car, then quickly flipped over the window and back into the ssroom.
“From now on, anyone I save owes me!”
Without missing a beat, she grabbed the next two boys running toward her and smoothly hurled them out of the window–one in each hand.
