Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

"boom--"

The first monster crashed into the iron gate.

The iron door shook violently, and the metal cabinet made a screeching sound as it moved back half an inch.

"Bang—bang—bang—"

A series of impacts came from outside the door, and the iron door continued to deform with each impact, the gaps getting bigger and bigger.

Zhao Hai braced his shoulder against the metal cabinet, pushed off with his feet, and put all his strength into it: "Is there anywhere else we can get out? This door won't hold for much longer!"

Zhou Yating is already searching the lobby.

To the left of the entrance hall is a corridor, at the end of which is a staircase, and next to the staircase is a small door.

"This way! The back door!"

Zhou Yating pushed open the small door. Behind the door was a narrow alley with high walls on both sides. About thirty meters ahead was a crossroads.

"Go! Go quickly!"

Zhao Hai pulled himself away from the metal cabinet and was the last to rush into the corridor.

He had only run five or six steps when the iron gate behind him finally gave way.

"boom--"

The iron gate and the metal cabinet were smashed open, the sofa was overturned, and three or four gray figures rushed in through the doorway.

Zhao Hai didn't look back and followed the group out the back door.

Six people were running at full speed through the narrow alley.

The sounds of monsters roaring, crashing through things, and shattering glass came from the apartment building behind them.

Qin Zhaoyang was panting heavily; his stamina was the worst among the six, and his speed was already starting to drop.

Chen Ye ran beside him, grabbed his arm, and dragged him forward.

"Don't... don't worry about me... Brother Ye... you go on your way..."

"Shut up, run!"

The intersection ahead magnifies in view.

Chen Ye's mind was racing with calculations.

Left? Right? Or straight?

To the left is a residential area, densely built with narrow alleys, making it easy to get surrounded.

To the right is the commercial district, with tall buildings but wide streets and a good view, allowing you to spot monsters ahead of time.

Go straight ahead to reach the municipal district; the underground shelter is in that direction.

"To the right!"

Chen Ye made a decision.

The procession turned right at the intersection and rushed into a wider street.

Behind them, in the gray fog, countless dark shadows continued their relentless pursuit.

Chen Ye's gaze swept across the buildings across the street and suddenly stopped on the exterior wall of a six-story building.

A faded sign hung on the exterior wall of the building, the words on it blurred, but a red cross could be seen.

"Go to the clinic; clinics usually have a back door."

Chen Ye dragged Qin Zhaoyang across the street and ran wildly.

Zhou Yating ran behind him, with Li Zheng and Wang Shuo protecting him on either side.

The street was covered with gravel and broken glass, which crunched underfoot.

A monster rushed out from the side and pounced on Zhou Yating, who was in the middle of the group.

"Fuck your grandpa!"

Wang Shuo grabbed a fire axe and chopped the monster away with one blow.

Zhou Yating's face paled slightly, but she didn't stop walking.

The clinic's doors were locked.

Li Zheng rushed forward, swung the butcher knife in his hand, and slashed at the door lock.

Wood chips flew everywhere, the lock broke, and the door was kicked open.

"Get in! All of you, get in!"

Six people filed in.

Chen Ye was the last to go in. He turned around, pushed the door shut, and together with Li Zheng, pushed a heavy medicine cabinet behind the door.

The monster outside had already caught up to the clinic's entrance.

The first one hit the door, and the medicine cabinet shook, but it didn't fall over.

The second and third birds also crashed into it, and the medicine cabinet began to shake.

"withstand!"

Zhao Hai rushed over and used his shoulder to brace against the medicine cabinet.

Li Zheng and Wang Shuo also stepped in, and with the three of them working together, the medicine cabinet was finally stabilized.

Chen Ye took a breath and glanced around the clinic.

This is a small private clinic, divided into a waiting area, examination room, pharmacy, and treatment room.

The plastic chairs in the waiting area were overturned, and medical records and leaflets were scattered on the ground.

A human anatomy chart hangs on the wall.

"Find the back door."

Chen Ye said to Qin Zhaoyang and Zhou Yating.

The two immediately split up to search.

Qin Zhaoyang ran towards the consultation room, and Zhou Yating ran towards the treatment room.

"Found it!"

Zhou Yating's voice came from the treatment room.

Chen Ye walked quickly over. Behind the treatment room was a small door. Pushing it open, he found himself in a narrow courtyard, with a small alley at the other end.

"You can go out through the back door; the alley leads to another street."

Chen Ye returned to the waiting area and glanced at Zhao Hai, who was still blocking the door: "Brother Hai, we've found the back door, let's leave."

Zhao Hai nodded: "You guys go first, I'll cover you from behind."

Chen Ye: "Let's go together, or it will be too late if they all surround us."

Zhao Hai hesitated for a second, then said to Li Zheng and Wang Shuo, "I'll count to three, then we'll let go together."

Li Zheng and Wang Shuo exchanged a glance and nodded.

"one."

"two."

"three."

The three of them let go at the same time and turned to run towards the back door.

The medicine cabinet lost its support and collapsed with a crash under the monster's impact.

The door was kicked open, and three or four monsters rushed in.

However, the waiting area is cramped, with medicine shelves, seats, and counters everywhere, making it difficult for the monster to move at its full speed.

Taking advantage of this time difference, Zhao Hai rushed into the treatment room, slammed the door shut, and pulled over an iron frame to prop it up behind the door.

The iron gate shook violently under the monsters' impact, but it was much sturdier than the glass gate and could hold on for the time being.

The six people crossed the courtyard and rushed into the back alley.

The back alley was wider than the previous narrow alley, with the backs of various buildings on both sides, where air conditioner units, drain pipes, and electrical wires were tangled together in a mess.

"Which way?"

Zhao Hai asked.

Chen Ye opened the map and quickly located the location.

They are now on a small street on the east side of the main road. Two more streets to the north is the municipal district.

"Head north, the underground shelter is just ahead."

The procession continued forward.

At the end of the alley is a wider street, and across the street is the municipal district marked on the map.

The buildings here are taller, mostly office and administrative buildings with more than ten floors, but they are more severely damaged than those in the commercial area.

A twelve-story building broke in the middle, with the upper half of the debris crashing onto the street, completely blocking the road.

"Go around from that side."

Zhou Yating pointed to a small path next to the building ruins.

The group turned onto a side road and walked for about five minutes before a huge square appeared ahead.

The square was paved with granite tiles, but it is now covered with gravel and garbage.

In the center of the square stands a tall monument covered with countless names, which are too far away to be clearly seen.

A figure crouches on the base of the monument.

No, it's not a person.

It's a monster.

That monster was unlike any we'd seen before.

It was a size larger than Zhao Hai, with a height estimated to be over two meters, and its entire body was covered with hard, grayish-black skin, resembling some kind of carapace.

Its head doesn't resemble a human's; it looks more like a lizard's, with its mouth protruding forward.

A pair of scarlet vertical pupils, like two burning embers, stood out starkly in the gray fog.
