Chapter 18: Fierce Battle Inside The Rotating Door
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It wasn’t difficult to run away from twenty zombies in a complex environment, but this area had nothing but tall buildings on the side other than wide streets. Running into alleys hastily when they were unfamiliar with the routes would get them killed faster.
It wasn’t realistic to run with the zombies either. Although Ling Mo, Ye Lian and Xia Na had stamina, Liu Yuhao began to pant and the others all looked like they were going to collapse any second. If their lives weren’t in danger, they would be lying on the ground already.
The point was, more and more zombies followed after them as they got closer and closer.
During the escape, there were many zombies that appeared in front of them. The distance between them and the zombies would close off if they stopped for even a second. It wouldn’t take long before they were surrounded from both the front and the back.
“This way! Take cover and kill them!”
Ling Mo saw that there was no way for them to run away from them, he glanced around and pointed at a tall business building.
Although it looked like he pointed it randomly, but there was nowhere better than that business building in this area. It only had a rotating gate and the front gate was rather narrow. It didn’t matter even if there were other entrances because they could leave immediately after killing those zombies.
As soon as he finished his sentence, Ling Mo took Ye Lian and charged towards the building. Xia Na quickly waved her hands and brought the others along.
After they just squeezed into the rotating door, zombies were right in their faces. Distorted faces, countless pairs of emotionless and blood-thirsty filled eyes, and the strong smell of blood sweeping into their noses. Although there was a rotating door between them, they all trembled when they faced so many zombies at close proximity.
The zombies were too fast, causing Ling Mo and the others to start fighting immediately after they entered the gate.
Using the angle advantage created by the rotating door, it made it much easier for them as at least they wouldn’t have to face more than twenty zombies at the same time. At most three or four could squeeze through at once, Ling Mo and others would kill them as soon as their ugly heads come out. Perhaps it would be faster if Ye Lian fought in this situation as she used her hands, it was much more convenient than using weapons like Ling Mo and the others.
But Ling Mo was perhaps the only one who was used to her gruesome killing…. He didn’t know what kind of reaction Xia Na and the others would have once they saw it.
But when Ling Mo and the others were fighting intensely by the door, no one noticed that two zombies in women’s suits and high heels leaped out from the reception desk of the building.
Their old identity may be white collars working in this top business building, but now they had turned into zombies who only knew how to prey on others.
But with ten centimeters high heels, even zombies couldn’t run that fast. When they got closer to the group, someone managed to discover them.
“Argh!”
The girl closest to the zombies screamed and zombies threw themselves on top of her. She shrieked crazily but she couldn’t move an inch beneath the female zombie. And at the same time she fell, the zombie opened its mouth and bit into her carotid artery.
Fresh blood immediately burst out and the other zombie rushed to the boy who was terrified in his spot.
However, his reaction was much quicker than the girl as he backed off. But after he took two steps back, he bumped into the boy with glasses, Wang Cheng.
As if it was his instinct, Wang Cheng pushed the boy out… But no one noticed this detail in a chaotic situation like this.
“Save me!”
The boy was already panicking and after being pushed, he immediately lost his balance and he screamed miserably when the zombie pinned him down. But in the next second, his voice stopped in his throat.
It was the best opportunity to fight back, but everyone was shocked by the bloody scene in front of them. Their classmates’ throat was torn and their chest was ripped apart, their screams before they stopped breathing challenged their nerves and tolerance.
But zombies wouldn’t give up trying to attack their prey just because they had food. After killing these two students, they immediately aimed for the closest survivors.
One of the zombies targeted the middle school student who was standing not far from Ye Lian.
The zombies were violently attacking outside the rotating gate and no one could help even if they heard the screams behind them. The zombies would break through the front gate if they relaxed even for a second, more people would die if they were surrounded from both the front and back.
The girl was stupefied. She couldn’t even move her fingers and her mind was blank.
Her throat was going to be slit in an instant, but Ye Lian, who stayed down all this time suddenly flashed next to her, took the fruit knife in her hand and struck like lightning in the instant she dashed to the zombie. A cold beam flashed and the fruit knife cut the zombie’s neck horizontally. As Ye Lian turned her wrist and twisted the knife, blood burst out and splattered all over the girl’s face.
Red and warm blood finally pulled the girl’s mind back as she screeched like mad. Her legs trembled and warm liquid streamed down from her thighs.
However, Ye Lian didn’t even look at her and didn’t even check the zombie’s condition before dashing to the back of the other female zombie.
That zombie had just pinned a boy down on the ground and when it just opened its smelly mouth, the knife’s tip stabbed through her head coming out from the mouth.
From the zombies’ appearance to Ye Lian killing them both, it happened in merely a minute.
In a short minute, two students died. The boy’s pupils dilated from terror, unable to climb back on his feet and he couldn’t even push the dead female zombie off of his body.
Everyone immediately crowded around Ye Lian after seeing her quick and violent attacks. They were scared to death and they weren’t in the mood to think why an ordinary-looking beauty had such skills. All in all, she was their protection umbrella now…
In fact, Ling Mo was the one who controlled Ye Lian to kill the zombies as he fought zombies by the rotating gate. In order to hide her identity, he even made her use a weapon.
While the other survivors all trembled in fear, Ling Mo discovered that two people were missing from them through Ye Lian’s eyes.
They probably ran upstairs out of fear… But it was stupid of them to run away recklessly. They would only die sooner without their protection. Even the lobby was filled with zombies, would there be any less zombies upstairs?
As expected, a few miserable screeches sounded from upstairs making these people tremble uncontrollably.
After a few minutes of violent slaughtering, the zombies outside the rotating door were finally killed. Whether it was Xia Na or Liu Yuhao, their face was filled with sweat. Especially Xia Na who fought with her life, her arm holding the sword was shaking lightly.
Although it was slightly easier for Ling Mo, his face paled as well. His temples also ached due to the after-effects of consuming too much consciousness power.
Xia Na’s expressions were complicated as she turned around to look at the bloody scene, it was as if she was in pain and blamed herself…
Ling Mo noticed it and patted her shoulder while comforting her in a low voice, “It’s not your fault. It might had turned even worse had you left them there.”
“Hm…” Xia Na agreed in a low voice and forced a smile towards Ye Lian, “Thank you!”
Although she didn’t see Ye Lian’s moves, Ye Lian’s skills obviously exceeded her expectations as she killed two zombies almost at the same time.
