#779 - Chapter 779 Hurry up!!!
"Bang!!!"
A steel stool slammed heavily against the window glass, creating a loud crash.
However.
The floor-to-ceiling glass, which offered a view of the outside, didn't even budge.
As a storefront with a scenic view, it was understandable that it used tempered glass.
Xiao Fei smashed two stools in a row without any effect; the glass wall guarded the shop like an invisible barrier.
In peaceful times, Xiao Fei and the others might have praised its sturdiness.
But now they were trying to escape with their lives!
Not caring about anything else, Xiao Fei took out his only handgun, his face hardening as he planned to use this trump card to break out of the cage!
Even Yao Lei, who had come to help break the window, was taken aback; she hadn't expected this group of adventurers she'd met today to possess such a weapon!
It was quite rare.
She had never seen a lone survivor with a handgun; usually, only those with powerful backing had access to them.
"Bang—!"
A gunshot rang out, and Xiao Fei looked to see the result of his shot.
The glass, which he couldn't even crack with a stool, now had a large area of shattered cracks!
It really worked!
Now it would be easy; Xiao Fei raised the stool again and smashed it against the spider-webbed glass, and with a "shatter," he finally opened an escape route!
"It's open!!!"
He shouted excitedly and quickly turned to look behind him, but the sight extinguished his excitement.
The escalator, guarded by Brother Qin and Sun Haohai, was giving way, and the crowded zombies were frantically climbing up!
"Get inside the store and hold them off there!!"
Yao Lei was also helping to defend the stairs, and after hacking off a zombie's head with her machete, she shouted crisply!
There were too many zombies on the stairs; they couldn't hold it!
They had to retreat further back to hold them off!
Xiao Fei had just broken the window and was still trying to clear away the broken glass, and it would take time for the five of them to run to the window and climb out.
After speaking, she took the lead and retreated to the entrance of the buffet restaurant, pretending to prepare to close the door.
Of course, Brother Qin and Sun Haohai didn't dare to fight head-on; the zombies on the escalator had already reached the third floor, and they were no match for them.
They immediately abandoned their defense and ran into the restaurant, closing the glass door and barricading it again.
"Roar roar roar!!!"
The rushing zombies slammed against the transparent glass door with a "bang," but fortunately, the restaurant owner hadn't skimped on construction and used solid materials, so the blast-proof glass door temporarily withstood the increasing pressure from the zombies.
But this wasn't a long-term solution; the zombies coming from behind continued to push, and the door creaked, showing signs of imminent collapse.
"Quick, come over one by one!! After we climb out the window, we'll follow the window ledge to the wires over there! Then we can slide down that billboard and get back to the ground outside!!"
Xiao Fei leaned half his body out of the window, one hand grabbing the cleared window edge, and shouted to his companions who were holding the door.
Hearing this, Xiao Yun was the first to be pulled over by him, grabbing the outside of the window and carefully feeling her way along the window ledge towards the wires twenty-odd meters away.
Then it was Yao Lei's turn.
"You go first!!"
Brother Qin used his back to brace against the door, which was cracking under the impact, and shouted at Sun Haohai next to him.
He still had this much responsibility; since the three of them had brought the others along, they shouldn't have internal strife and accidents at this time, letting the recruited man go first.
Sun Haohai was slightly surprised, gave Brother Qin a deep look, nodded at him, and rushed to the window.
Brother Qin, who was left at the restaurant door to resist the zombie invasion, was no match for the combined strength of those monsters; in just a few seconds, the tempered glass door creaked, and even cracks appeared at the upper door connection!
He couldn't hold on any longer!!!
"Hurry!! I can't hold on here anymore!!"
When things became impossible, Brother Qin didn't persist; he stomped his right foot hard and ran towards the window!
"Boom!"
Without Brother Qin's strength to maintain it, the glass door shattered like it had lost its last straw, and the mountain of corpses piled up behind it collapsed to the ground like a tidal wave!
Brother Qin had no time to pay attention to the terrifying scene behind him, quickly ran to the broken window, dodged, grabbed the window edge, and began to climb towards the wires with his teammates.
In just under 3 seconds, zombies arrived less than a meter away from the damaged window!
"Roar roar roar!!!"
The mindless, man-eating things didn't know how to climb windows!
They immediately fell like dumplings to the open space outside the shopping mall!
"Gulp!"
Brother Qin swallowed hard, feeling a chill down his spine as he realized he was only seconds away from dying.
Damn, he almost died!
"Keep climbing over there! The zombies behind can't catch up!"
Xiao Fei was in the fourth position, only two positions ahead of Brother Qin, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all five members of the team had arrived here.
It was close; if Yao Lei hadn't suggested running to a higher floor and he hadn't thought of such an escape route, they probably would have been torn to pieces by the astonishing number of zombies in the shopping mall.
But they weren't completely safe yet; only separated by a layer of glass, he could even see the zombies opening their mouths and lunging at him less than 3cm away!
So close!
Damn it!
If everyone wasn't a survivor who had experienced more than a year of the apocalypse, just the oppressive scene would have scared them so much that their hands would have gone limp and they would have fallen.
The third floor was at least twenty meters above the ground of the mall, and falling would turn them into meat paste like those zombies with a "splat."
No one chatted; the five of them focused their minds, trying to ignore the harassment of the zombies just a layer of glass away, and carefully climbed towards the wires at the end of the window ledge.
As long as they reached there, they could slide to a billboard near the ground, and finally, they could easily jump down from three or four meters above the ground.
Yao Lei was in the second position; she didn't dare to look directly at the crazy zombies on the other side of the glass; even she, as a Green Source combat team member, felt a chill in her heart; it was human instinct.
Her backpack carried the hope of saving the captain, and she had to bring it back to the captain today no matter what to treat his injuries.
The five of them each used their own methods to ignore the terrifying figures on the other side of the glass; as long as they could survive, this experience would definitely be remembered for a lifetime.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound rang out!
One of the panes of glass that Xiao Fei couldn't break with a steel stool earlier had cracked!
"Damn it!!!"
Sun Haohai, who was in the middle, couldn't help but curse!
The crack had appeared on the glass in front of him!
"Hurry!!!"
Xiao Fei and Brother Qin behind him had red eyes; if Sun Haohai's glass broke, they would be caught in the middle, unable to advance or retreat!!!
They had to climb over quickly before the glass shattered!!!
