Fortunately, this was at a ninety-degree corner; otherwise, Zhou Rong couldn’t have reached Zhang Yingjie behind him, and he would have been torn to pieces by hundreds of swarming zombies by now.
Even so, the unimaginable downward force nearly pulled Zhou Rong out. At the critical moment, he bit down and hugged the ventilation pipe, his feet tightly wrapping the pipe, barely stopping the fall.
Chun Cao roared: “Yingjie, climb up quickly!”
Zombies howled in the hall, desperately reaching up. Zhang Yingjie hung in mid-air, his toes just centimeters from the zombies’ fingernails. No matter how he tried, he couldn’t reach the ventilation pipe. Cold sweat instantly broke out: “No… I can’t…”
At that moment, with a “tear—” sound, amid the zombies’ rising roars, something particularly sharp made everyone’s nerves suddenly tense:
Zhou Rong’s field jacket couldn’t withstand such tension and split at the shoulder and back!
Zhang Yingjie roared: “Let me go, Rong-ge!”
Zhou Rong gritted his teeth and didn’t let go, his arm shaking violently.
“Hurry, Rong-ge!” Zhang Yingjie watched Zhou Rong’s body tilt down a few more degrees, his eyes bloodshot: “Let me go quickly!”
Si Nan raised his gun and aimed, shouting: “Jump—!”
The Type 8-9 heavy machine gun spewed fire, sweeping a circle of zombies in all directions!
This was a life-or-death gamble. Everyone jumped down simultaneously. The moment they landed, more zombies pounced, instantly blown to pieces by Zhou Rong and Zhang Yingjie’s assault rifles!
“Run!” Si Nan roared, as the second bullet pierced through a hundred meters of space, shattering the fire escape safety door!
Four people sprinted madly through the zombie horde, Chun Cao and Zhang Yingjie leading, Zhou Rong covering the rear. They carved out a bloody path through sheer firepower, with shell casings exploding like fireworks.
In the chaos, everyone felt zombie bodies crashing into them, but had no time to check for bites. They could only frantically spray bullets around, with entire rows of zombies sent flying backward!
In the blink of an eye, they reached the end of the hundred-meter stretch. Si Nan shouted sharply: “Move aside—”
Chun Cao and Zhang Yingjie coordinated perfectly, simultaneously turning left and right. Uninterrupted assault rifle bullets swept out in a horizontal fan.
