After Lin Qiao left, Lu Tinanyi immediately turned to Kong Qingming while Huang Shou looked at Xie Dong.

“What did she mean? Is she going out to save our friends?” Huang Shou asked Xie Dong anxiously, who glanced at Kong Qingming, as he knew that the latter understood Lin Qiao’s meaning.

“She told us to wait here, and she’ll try saving them. But, she’s not sure how many people can she save,” said Kong Qingming.

Huang Shou turned to look at Xie Dong. As Xie Dong nodded, he sighed with relief. But soon, Xie Dong found that the way Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming looked at him was a little weird, even though he couldn’t figure out why yet.

Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming assumed that Xie Dong was aware of the fact that Lin Qiao was a zombie, so, they wondered what made him follow her willingly, and how he had been seeing her.

On the outside, Lin Qiao turned herself invisible once she exited the space, then leaped aside and rolled on the ground to dodge the lightning bolts which were about to land on her body.

Once she showed up, the zombie king sensed her location. But thankfully, she reacted fast.

The moment Lin Qiao stopped moving, a new lightning bolt flashed down right toward her, and she hurriedly rolled again to the side. She knew that the zombie king was attacking randomly, as it didn’t know where exactly she was.

After rolling, she tightened her body and sprung up from the ground. Then, she dodged the lightning bolts falling from the sky and tried to dart out of the coverage of the zombie king’s lightning attack.

The zombie king’s lightning bolts fell from the sky without a pattern, so Lin Qiao had no choice but to pay attention to them while choosing her way of moving. However, that wasn’t a hard thing for her. With a few turns, she moved to a few meters away. After that, she kept running forward while dodging the lightning bolts falling onto her head.

“Roar! Roar! Roar” After a series of savage lightning attacks, the zombie king found that its attack barely had any effect. So, it suddenly roared out loud resonantly.

Hearing that roar, Lin Qiao knew that something bad would happen.

The zombie king was summoning more zombies. Once those zombies returned, the five people would be in danger. Thinking of that, Lin Qiao immediately darted toward Liu Jing and the others.

On the other side, Liu Jing and the others had been fleeing away from the zombie king in panic. However, before they ran far away, they heard the rumbling thunder.

Raising their heads to see a wave of dazzling lightning bolts descending from the sky, they were all stunned. Was the zombie king going to kill them all?

At that moment, these few people began to curse in their heads. ‘Damn! Why didn’t you give us a heads-up before launching the massive attack!’

However, the situation didn’t allow them to complain. Instead, they burst in yells while dashing into a nearby building.

“Take cover!”

Fortunately, the massive lighting attack only shattered some window glasses and made some small concrete blocks fall from the building. The building itself remained sturdy.

The five were hiding on the first floor. For the time being, they were safe from the lightning, as the building wouldn’t fall apart. However, as the five saved themselves from being struck by lightning bolts, they were trapped in the building.

Looking at the dazzling lightning and hearing the thunderous noises, one of them said with a dark face, “Where is the lightning come from? These aren’t created by the weird zombie, are they?”

Just now, they all saw the purple lightning bolts coiled around the tall zombie king’s body, and guessed that it had thunder power.

“I think so! What the hell is that? I don’t think a level-five zombie can be so powerful!”

“That…that lady, is she fighting the zombie now? This lightning power is so cool! Damn! Nearly as great as the power of our Chief Purple Thunder!”

“Whatever the case might be, we should figure out a way to leave this place. I think we’re still too close to it, and it’s very dangerous!”

“But, we can’t get out now. We don’t know how long this lightning attack will last.”

The five understood that any attack generated by superpower energies couldn’t last long. So, they planned to wait until the lightning bolts faded and then run out.

After a few minutes, the coverage of the lightning bolts shrank, but the five were still threatened by them.

“Look, it’s shrinking!” Liu Jing looked out of a shattered window and found that the lightning bolts on one side were disappearing while the ones on the other side were still striking.

“We can’t get out! We’re about two meters away from the safe area,” another man came over as he measured the distance with his eyes and said. In order to get to the safe area, they needed to get out of the room and move through the corridor nearby. But by doing that, they would expose themselves to the violent lightning bolts.

“Wait!”

At that very moment, they heard a long and resonant roar.

“What’s that sound? Zombie roar?”

“That sounds a little different.”

In less than a minute, one of them abruptly pointed at the boundary between the lightning area and the safe area and shouted, “Look! That…”

The others turned to find a giant crowd of zombies approaching.

“How…Why so many zombies!”

“I get it. They’re summoned by the roar we heard just now.”

“There…are too many zombies! What should we do? Even if we made it to the safe area, we’d be torn into pieces by these zombies!” Facing the suddenly appeared zombie crowd, the five showed despair on their faces.

One of them lowered his head as he leaned against the wall and weakly sat to the ground, his eyes unfocused. “We’re dead,” he said. “We won’t survive this. I thought we’d be going home safe as we were saved from the three level-five zombies, but now…”

The others fell into silence.

That man was right. If they went out now, they would either be torn apart by the zombie crowd or be struck by lightning. There was no other choice left for them.

“Why…why us…” another guy murmured. The others looked at him confusedly. Then, they heard him continue, “Why did she leave us out here…Why didn’t she drag us into her space just now?”
