Ignoring his disheveled state, Shinonome scrambled to his feet, picked up the AR-15 that had fallen from the ground while being dragged, and quickly fired blindly behind him.

In an instant, he seemed to hear the sound of bullets hitting zombies.

"Quick, Xiaoyun!"

Due to an accident involving Shinonome, Goto Ichiri and Iji Chi Niji Natsumi, who had entered the apartment, were switched back.

The two girls and Gabriel all looked anxious.

The zombies are closing in.

Within the indistinct spore mist, a large number of zombies reappeared, and this time there were far more than before.

"Throw away the bile, throw away the Molotov cocktail!"

As Dongyun saw the zombies closing in from both sides, his strength surged continuously, and he even felt some zombies reaching his backpack.

But under the cover of fire from Xiaojia, Hongxia, and Boqi-chan, he managed to run into the apartment at the last second. Just as he stepped into the apartment, Hongxia and Yili threw bile, Molotov cocktails, and homemade bombs at him as he lifted his back foot.

One of the Molotov cocktails was left outside the door.

"close the door!"

With a loud shout from Goto Ichiri, the small iron door of the apartment was slammed shut.

"boom!"

A muffled explosion rang out from outside the door.

Soon, the sound of zombies banging on the door could be heard outside.

Although the iron gate looked old, it was still fairly well protected. A few zombies pounded on and rammed the gate, but unless they were superhumanly strong, they couldn't break it open.

"We're safe, for now."

Leaning against the iron gate, Dongyun touched his neck, still shaken.

When he met Xiao Jia's gaze and saw her shake her head, a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

His neck was not injured.

Chapter 84 A Brief Respite

Tulip Apartments is an old-fashioned apartment building.

The hallway was dark and dirty, and the damp air smelled of blood and spores, along with other indescribable odors.

However, the eight survivors, who possessed a refreshing defense, did not smell these scents. This was also thanks to the Tulip Apartments; although the small iron door leading into and out of the apartments was old, it was still quite sturdy.

With the zombies blocking the door in front, preventing the zombies behind from ramming it, they gained a brief respite.

"We're safe, for now."

Everyone relaxed a little after Dongyun said those words.

so horrible.

They were almost wiped out.

Although all eight of them carried guns, their ammunition would eventually run out, and Xiao Jia's magic power was insufficient to use a spell that could teleport everyone.

Even if she could teleport, Xiao Jia wouldn't know where to teleport them.

Therefore, if they run out of bullets without finding a safe house, they will inevitably turn into zombies.

"The most dangerous episode."

Dongyun sat on the ground, leaning against the iron gate.

He didn't know why, even though he had escaped death and was just one door away from zombies, he couldn't help but laugh.

"You still have the nerve to say weird things."

Gabriel rolled her eyes at Dongyun.

Then, she sighed helplessly, put down her backpack, and took out a first-aid kit.

"Don't you know you're injured?"

"Injuried?"

Dongyun's heart skipped a beat, but this was followed by confusion.

Where was he injured? His neck was just tied by a zombie, what else could it be…?

"hiss!"

The moment Gabriel's alcohol swab touched the wound, Dongyun, caught off guard and in pain, knew where he was injured.

Okay, it's an arm.

No, not only his arms, but his calves also seem to be injured.

Only then did Dongyun feel the pain in his body.

He was dragged a distance by the special sense, and although he wasn't directly injured by it, he indirectly suffered quite a few abrasions.

Gabriel gently wiped the wounds on Shinonome's body and said, "You can shout if it hurts."

"Are you looking down on me?"

This made Dongyun laugh.

“Yes,” Gabriel chuckled. “Have you forgotten the night you were rescued by the walking fish, crying your eyes out, and finally being saved by this angel?”

"Hey, where did you get this fake memory from?"

Shinonome flicked Gabriel's forehead with his index finger.

Thinking back to that night, he chuckled softly, "I do remember the tongue that an angel used to heal me back then. Could we ask that angel to do it again this time?"

"Fuck off!"

Gabriel rolled her eyes at Shinonome.

What are you thinking? Nijika and the others are still here; it's not just Nadeshiko and Rin-chan. She didn't want to be stared at with those innocent eyes from Nijika and the others.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are you arguing?"

Sitting on the steps, Goto Ichiri saw Gabriel's face turn red and assumed she was angry and had argued with Shinonome.

Arguing at this time is really inconsiderate of the situation.

"Poch-chan, this isn't an argument."

Ichi Natsumi patted Goto Ichiri on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Isn't it?"

Goto Ichiri's big eyes were full of confusion.

"No, Goto-kun."

Kita Ikuyo watched Shinonome and Gabriel bickering and a maternal smile appeared on her face.

This wasn't an argument at all; it was pure flirting.

"Boqi, are you really a high school girl? You don't have any sense of what a high school girl should be like. This is clearly..."

Yamada Ryo couldn't stand it anymore, so he leaned close to Goto Ichiri's ear and whispered an explanation to her.

Goto Ichiri understood now. His eyes widened, his face turned red, and his mind was in complete confusion.

Flirting, teasing, hey, hey, is this the kind of situation where you can flirt?!

The answer is, of course, no.

Gabriel and Shinonome's bickering was just to ease the tension and liven up the atmosphere, so as to prevent the air from becoming stuffy and oppressive and causing everyone to overthink.

After what just happened, everyone's morale is very low.

Although no one raised the question, they all knew they might be trapped in the apartment.

This apartment doesn't seem like it has a back door, and even if it does, they can't be sure if it's secure.

After all, the gunshots could easily attract zombies from the surrounding streets. Opening the back door might just lead to a Charger, a feat of killing eight zombies in one go.

Gabriel disinfected Dongyun's wounds with alcohol swabs, used adhesive bandages for small wounds, and simply bandaged larger wounds with bandages to prevent infection and the development of various illnesses.

Getting sick at this time can be fatal.

On the first floor of the apartment, the group did not linger.

Although it's unlikely that the iron gate could be broken open or pushed down by zombies, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Moreover, they have little time to rest. Newbas City will be bombed the day after tomorrow, and by tomorrow at the latest, they must obtain the virus inhibitor from the laboratory and then leave this dangerous city full of spores and zombies.

The eight people turned on their flashlights and angel halos and slowly walked upstairs.

There were no zombies in the hallway, but as they passed several doors, they heard the roars of zombies inside and the sounds of them banging on doors or other objects.

However, the zombies were trapped inside the house, and the door was very sturdy, so even though they kept pressing against it, they had little chance of getting out.

Most of the zombies that could get out have already come out, unless they are very unlucky and encounter a zombie that is trapped inside the house but strong enough to break down the door.

Tulip Apartments is a six-story building with no elevator and narrow, dark staircases.
