Bang!

The sound of a gunshot rang out, hitting the zombie right between the brows, its body finally ceased to move.

Soon after, the other people who had been bitten by the rats began to slowly turn into zombies!

Moreover, after the corpses transformed into zombies, those rats stopped feeding and instead started running towards the living inside the refuge!

At this moment, Li Haochu had quickly organized the guard squad, and the young soldiers encircled the survivors, protecting them in the very center.

“Fire Element, Ice Element, Thunder Element, first attack those Zombie Rats with your abilities, and be careful not to get bitten!” Li Haochu shouted loudly.

“Yes!”

Several Special Ability Users obeyed the command and swiftly unleashed their respective abilities on the rats.

Li Haochu, too, led some soldiers to deal with the zombies that had just turned but hadn’t yet had the chance to attack people.

The ranged attacks of Special Abilities were very effective against the Zombie Rats, but more were still emerging from the crack in the door in the corner, and seeing the never-ending stream of Zombie Rats, Li Haochu couldn’t help but feel puzzled—where on earth were these Zombie Rats coming from?

“I’m also a Fire Element Ability User, I’ll help too!” A tall woman squeezed through the crowd and stood next to the Special Ability Users’ team.

Then, one after another, more Special Ability Users stood up and began using their abilities to attack the Zombie Rats.

Although the Special Ability Users’ attacks rarely hit the Zombie Rats, they did alleviate a lot of pressure for Li Haochu and his team.

“We need a Metal Element Ability User to block this place off!” Li Haochu called out while keeping an eye on his footing.

“Yes!”

A Metal Element Ability User quickly stepped out of the formation and began using Metal Element Ability to seal the crack in the door, while his teammates cooperatively covered for him to prevent him from being bitten by the Zombie Rats.

Once the crack was sealed, no more Zombie Rats could come through, and the ones inside the refuge were almost entirely dealt with by the Special Ability Users, but unfortunately, two young soldiers were injured.

“Old Xu, can they still be saved?” Liang Wei approached Xu Mingzhi, who was tending to the wounds of the soldiers, and asked.

Xu Mingzhi sighed, shaking his head; the wounds had already begun to blacken, a precursor to zombification.

“How could this be? They were only scratched a bit by the rats,” a girl ran over and asked, distraught—the person was injured while protecting her.

“Those were not ordinary rats, they were Zombie Rats. Being bitten by them is no different than being bitten by a zombie,” Xu Mingzhi explained.

The two young men who had been bitten did not complain; one of them approached the still-crying girl and said, “It’s alright, survive for both of us, okay?”

Having said that, he and the other soldier went over to Li Haochu, took off their guns, and solemnly handed them to him.

“Commander Li, please, don’t let us turn into zombies.”

The young soldier bowed deeply to Li Haochu.

At that moment, Liang Wei came over, patted Li Haochu on the shoulder, and said, “I’ll do it.”

Li Haochu had already been through too much these past few days. Though he didn’t show it, asking him to do this to his subordinates was undeniably like stabbing a knife into his heart.

Li Haochu didn’t refuse, and he handed the gun to Liang Wei.

Bang, bang!

As Lu Hao and Su Jin got out of the car, they heard the sound of gunfire from inside the refuge.

Today, the refuge looked a little odd, with not a single person outside—in the past, there were always some guards on duty, and even if they arrived early today, it wouldn’t normally be this quiet.

“Could something have happened?” Su Jin wondered aloud.

“I don’t know, let’s go inside and have a look,” Lu Hao replied.

Lu Hao asked Driver Jiao to lock the car door and wait by the side, and then he led Su Jin into the refuge.

The atmosphere inside the refuge was very heavy; everyone stood there, some weeping loudly, others silently shedding tears…

When Su Jin and Lu Hao saw the bodies of the zombie rats and several zombified corpses on the floor ahead, they immediately understood what had happened.

Zombie rats in the refuge?

Could it have been done by those people?

The two couldn’t help but associate this with the previous incident with the zombie birds.

Liang Wei had already ordered the bodies of the two young soldiers to be carried out. Truth be told, he felt very heavy-hearted at the moment. Those had been living people!

“Everyone, please don’t wander off, the zombie rats are only temporarily blocked. Please wait here for the time being,” he announced.

Li Haochu thought of the gap that had just been blocked in the door. Before the remaining zombie rats discovered other gaps, they had to block those as well.

Peng Qi, standing by the door, had spotted Su Jin and Lu Hao and hurriedly ran forward to report to Liang Wei.

Liang Wei saw the two as well and walked over with an apologetic expression, “Su Jin, Lu Hao, you’ve arrived. There’s been a bit of trouble here, you might need to wait for a while.”

Seeing their puzzled faces, Liang Wei then recounted what had just happened.

“Have you found the source of the zombie rats?” Su Jin asked.

“Not yet, Haochu and the others are preparing to look for it,” Liang Wei said, gesturing toward Li Haochu and his group who were still blocking the gaps.

Just then, a series of urgent horn blasts suddenly sounded from outside!

Was it Driver Jiao?!

Had something happened outside?

Su Jin and Lu Hao quickly turned around and ran out, only to see a large swarm of zombie rats pouring out from behind the small convenience store next to the gymnasium. They followed along the wall of the gymnasium, rushing toward the entrance at high speed!

It was Driver Jiao who had seen this and was frantically sounding the horn to warn them. He had seen these zombie rats before when he was out with Liang Jiuhui, so he definitely didn’t dare to get out of the car now. He could only use this method to alert the people inside.

Seeing Su Jin and Lu Hao run out, he felt relieved that the inside must have heard the noise from outside. But immediately after, he began to worry again; the zombie rats seemed menacing, and he didn’t know if the two would get hurt.

Lu Hao and Su Jin looked at the densely packed zombie rats and felt their scalps tingle. Seeing that people were starting to run out from behind, Su Jin didn’t dare to take out gasoline from her Space.

“Is there a way to gather them all together?” Lu Hao asked.

Su Jin frowned as well; the floors here were all cement, and she couldn’t use wooden spikes to stop them.

“Is that all that’s needed, to get them all together?” Li Haochu asked loudly, having run over to their side at some point.

“Yeah, that should do it,” Lu Hao replied.

Li Haochu nodded and had all the Metal Element Ability Users stand out; his plan was to use the Metal Element Abilities to enclose the approaching zombie rats, and although it wouldn’t trap them for long, it could at least hold them off for a while.

Without delay, those Metal Element Ability Users quickly used their Metal Element Abilities to erect a solid barricade in the path of the zombie rats.

Amidst a series of loud banging sounds, Lu Hao also conjured up a cluster of dark Special Ability Fire and threw it toward the most densely packed area of zombie rats!

Boom!

It was the sound of flames burning. Lu Hao continued to throw Special Ability Fire into the barricade, leaving only piles of black ash on the ground where the fire passed, and behind, more zombie rats kept pouring in this direction!

The other Fire Element Ability Users reacted and began throwing their Special Ability Fire toward the zombie rats.
