Chapter 353 - 345: Zombie Awakening

Xiao Ma and Wan Nian pushed the two inside and said, "Hurry up, be quick."

Dayong stumbled, barely missing a Zombie, his eyes filled with hatred.

How could he not know that although these Zombies are motionless now, they could awaken at any moment, yet had he not come in, those people would have killed him directly.

Slowly climbing up from the ground, he carefully avoided the Zombies nearby, while Yuan Chong on the other side also cautiously moved through the many Zombies.

Being so close to the Zombies made both of their legs shake.

Since the apocalypse broke out, they had seen countless people devoured alive by these Zombies. Just thinking about some of those not-so-pleasant scenes made them tremble.

Outside, Wan Nian and Xiao Ma also felt a bit of trepidation seeing so many Zombies.

But now they had to search for food and had finally found a place that hadn't been looted, how could they let it pass.

Thus, Wan Nian said viciously,

"Get in there and search, don't waste time. If you find nothing, don't bother coming out. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can leave."

Inside, Dayong and Yuan Chong exchanged glances, gathered their courage, and step by step moved further inside.

The number of Zombies at the entrance was the least, but deeper inside, there were even more.

They held their breath, tiptoed, not daring to make any loud noises.

After walking about ten meters in, seeing the scene in front of them, they stopped.

The Zombies ahead were crowded together, with less than half a meter between them.

Standing before these Zombies, they were at a loss for a moment what to do.

Outside, Wan Nian stared intently at the Zombies in front of him.

Drip~

A water drop fell to the ground. He noticed under the noon sunlight, a layer of frost on these Zombies was melting.

And the Zombies closest to the door, under the scorching sun, started trembling slightly.

"Not good," Wan Nian thought to himself.

He tugged at Xiao Ma beside him, whispering, "Look at those few Zombies, they seem to be moving."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ma was about to scoff, but when he saw for himself, his eyes narrowed. They truly were moving.

The two exchanged a glance and hurriedly walked towards Brother Wang's direction.

Their footsteps attracted the attention of Dayong inside, who was searching for supplies.

The two hastily turned to look, seeing the two men at the door running outside.

Their hearts skipped a beat.

The same thought flashed through their minds: What's happened?

Thud~

Dayong accidentally hit an advertising board on the wall and fell to the ground.

The noise startled the Zombies at the edge of the door awake.

Roar!

The first Zombie howled, and those around it began to wake up as well.

Dayong and the other person saw it clearly from behind, a sense of despair washing over them.

The howls of these Zombies were like a button.

The Zombies not exposed to the sunlight began to wake up as well.

Like waves, one after another, the Zombies woke up.

The few Zombies at the door, once awake, ran straight out, heading towards Wan Nian and the others.

Roar!

The Zombies roared furiously.

Wan Nian and Xiao Ma had just run out a few meters and looked back to see a swarm of Zombies chasing after them.

Surprisingly fast!

Wan Nian shuddered and shouted to those in front of him, "The Zombies have woken up, run!"

Brother Wang, always on the alert, didn't say a word and just shouldered his backpack and ran.

The two men followed, and the woman with Brother Wang glanced at the crouching Xiao Kui holding her head and asked, "Brother Wang, what should we do with her?"

Without looking back, Brother Wang replied, "What does she have to do with you, just run."

The woman looked at Xiao Kui.

Xiao Kui saw the Zombies behind Wan Nian and the others, stood up, and looked at her with pleading eyes.

Unfortunately, the woman was not like the two men at the large iron door. No one with Brother Wang would care about her life or death.

In the apocalypse, you're on your own.

Ignoring Xiao Kui's plea, the woman didn't even bother to untie the ropes binding her and silently followed Brother Wang.

Xiao Kui wailed, "Help me, don't leave me behind."

But neither the woman nor Brother Wang even acknowledged her.

Wan Nian and Xiao Ma running from behind also caught up. Looking pitifully towards Wan Nian, Xiao Kui said, "Help me untie this, take me with you, I'll be yours."

Xiao Ma didn't pay any attention to her, glancing at Wan Nian with a mocking look in his eyes.

They passed Xiao Kui by.

Hearing her words, Wan Nian felt as if he were constipated; if Xiao Kui hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have planned to do anything.

But now, Xiao Ma's look seemed to say: So that's your taste...

Especially recalling that earlier, he had said he wanted to join their so-called family.

Epic social death...

This filled him with immense humiliation; looking at this fat woman, a surge of nameless rage swelled within him.

Wan Nian thrust the knife into the woman's leg.

Zi la.

The blade sliced through the woman's thick pants and blood flowed from the wound.

"Ah. You... so ruthless!" After being stabbed, the woman's balance gave way, and she toppled to the ground.

Wan Nian glanced behind him. The Zombies, it seemed, had smelled the blood, and after months of hunger, they had become even more frenzied, running even faster.

"Shit," Wan Nian cursed inwardly.

He had intended to use the woman to buy some time from the pursuing Zombies, not expecting that injuring her would excite them even more.

The Zombies were running swiftly, faster than the ones he remembered from before.

Was this the power of hunger?

Wan Nian shook his head; what nonsense was he thinking about in such a moment?

Xiao Kui stared at the approaching Zombies, and that familiar terror returned.

Trembling, she tried to squirm her overweight body to the side, but with her hands tied and her obese body, she couldn't move well.

She could only watch helplessly as the Zombies caught up to her.

She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt like the wide-open mouths of the Zombies were salivating.

"I don't want to die; I don't want to die!!! Ahhh!" Amidst her screams, the woman was caught by the first Zombie that caught up.

Biting directly into the arm.

Tear and pull.

The arm was ruthlessly torn off, followed by zombies burying into her belly, opening her up with their sharp teeth.

Other zombies surrounded Xiaokui, biting and tearing at her face, neck, legs, chest, feet, arms...

These zombies were so famished that upon catching a person, they immediately started biting and swallowing like crazy.

Just like a swarm of locusts passing through, the original seven or eight zombies were the first to bite into this woman.

But the dozens of zombies trailing behind seemed unsatisfied, fighting with the other zombies for their share.

In less than 30 seconds, zombies had skittered over, like a plague of locusts!

All that was left on the ground was a red trail, not even a sliver of bone remained.

A woman so plump was devoured so quickly, and those who had escaped far away, like Wang Ge and the others, felt their hearts pounding.

They hadn't experienced being chased by zombies for a good few days.

During the coldest times, they even doubted the zombies had disappeared, until they discovered zombies frozen in ice.

But during that coldest period, although they nearly froze to death, they didn't have to constantly worry about zombie attacks.

Now, the zombies have awakened!

Thanks to that woman, they were able to delay the zombies' pursuit for a while, allowing Wan Nian and Xiao Ma to catch up.

Panting heavily, Wan Nian asked, "Wang Ge, where do we go now?"

As he ran, Wang Ge said, "Let's get out of here first. After these zombies leave, we'll go back in to search for supplies. For now, just run."

The group ran towards the distance.

Dozens of famished, crazed zombies followed behind.

...

Inside the large iron gates.

At the same time as the zombies awoke, Dayong and his companion were panic-stricken and at a loss.

They were inside a pile of zombies, with newly awakened zombies outside, and even more zombies inside, which were still asleep.

Fortunately, the few awake zombies ran straight outside.

Dayong and his companion sighed in relief.

Looking at the two men fleeing, Dayong commented with relief, "Serves them right for making us come here."

Roar!

Just as they were relaxing, a few zombies beside them woke up as well.

Damn it, all is lost!

This was the first thought that flashed through their minds.

Surrounded by zombies, how could they run!

But they weren't the kind to wish for death, and they began pushing through the zombies, still not fully awake.

Suddenly, Dayong saw a small door no more than four meters away.

A storage room!

But this place was in the thick of the crowded mass of zombies.

Near the door, some zombies had already awakened.

Some zombies around them were waking up.

Those zombies four meters away trembled slightly but had not yet come to.

Dayong said, "Go there, let's take a chance!"

Obviously, they couldn't rush through the entrance; there were over a dozen zombies blocking the door, and the entrance was so narrow that once they got through, the zombies behind would awaken and follow.

"Okay," Yuan Chong said.

Due to the cold, they were both wearing a lot of clothes.

The two squeezed through the zombie crowd like people crowding onto trains during the Spring Festival.

Because it was so packed, some zombies' faces were less than 2 centimeters away from theirs.

Being so close, they could even see the texture of the zombies' skin, black and white, with a decaying scent.

And it seemed the zombies could smell the humans, their noses twitching as they were about to wake.

More distance away, the zombies that had already awakened were chasing them, less than five meters behind.

Only two meters from the small door.

In the midst of the tightly packed Zombie Tide, those already awakened and agitated zombies were blocked by the ones about to wake.

One meter to go.

With the hope of survival on his face, Dayong pushed hard.

Finally, reaching the door, he pulled with all his might.

Suddenly.

Click!

A ringing sound.

Dayong found that the door was blocked by a nearby zombie.

Roar!

At this moment, all the zombies around them had awakened.

Yuan Chong stood by, seeing this scene, gritted his teeth, leaned on a zombie and gave a hard push.

He knocked the surrounding zombies to the ground.

Dayong quickly opened the door,

The door was open.

Joy surged within Dayong.

But turning around, he saw Yuan Chong, who after pushing the zombies away, had his clothes caught by one of them.

Enter directly or save the person?

How to choose.

Between life and death, Dayong bit down hard, cursing.

His right hand grabbed Yuan Chong's clothes and yanked hard.

Twisting his body,

He pulled Yuan Chong into the storage room.

Then, as the zombies were about to catch up to them, he darted inside.

Bang!

The storage room door closed.

Just by a hair's breadth.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of zombies pounding on the door echoed from outside.
