She screamed almost instinctively, but she quickly suppressed the sound... she was afraid of attracting zombies.

However, it was too late.

The axe traced an arc, precisely clearing the open space over twenty meters wide, and fell towards the area where the zombies were most concentrated...

Su Mu didn't even look at the result.

He turned and ran, rushing to the nearest large tree. Using both hands and feet, he climbed up in no time. Then he grabbed a thick branch, turned back, and held out his hand to Lin Yuwei:

"Hurry up and get on!"

Lin Yuwei was completely stunned.

Before she could even process the realization that "Su Mu has gone mad," she heard a piercing sound coming from afar...

"Beep beep beep beep..."

The alarm sound on an iPhone.

The sound was extremely piercing in the empty amusement park.

Lin Yuwei's face turned deathly pale.

It’s over.

The thought flashed through her mind.

"asshole!"

Lin Yuwei didn't have time to think, so she could only reach out and grab the hand that Su Mu offered.

The next second, a tremendous force came and she was lifted up and lightly pulled onto the tree trunk.

The two of them squeezed together on the same thick tree branch, their bodies pressed close together.

Lin Yuwei didn't care about the ambiguous posture; all her attention was drawn to the scene in the distance.

It even completely stunned her.

Then they saw the zombies ahead move.

At first, only a few of the closest birds stopped, their empty eye sockets turning toward the direction from which the sound came. Then more and more came, like a tide, surging from every corner toward the location of the phone.

Everything—under the giant pendulum, on the surf car track, even in the distant carousel area—was moving in that direction.

It's not moving slowly, it's running swiftly.

In just over ten seconds, the originally densely packed horde of zombies surged like a tide, rushing towards a direction more than eighty meters away from them.

Even behind them... in that sparse patch of woods, where a few scattered zombies had been wandering, they too were drawn by the sound and stumbled toward that direction.

It was only then that she noticed the axe that Su Mu had thrown out earlier.

The axe landed at least seventy or eighty meters away.

Not twenty meters, not thirty meters, but seventy or eighty meters!

And the accuracy of the strike was terrifying... it landed directly in the head of a zombie. The axe blade was deeply embedded in the skull, and the zombie didn't even have time to react before it fell straight down.

The cell phone, strapped to the axe, was hanging on the side of the zombie's body, and its alarm sound rang throughout the entire area without any obstruction.

Lin Yuwei stared blankly at the scene, her mind completely blank.

After a long while, she finally turned her head with difficulty to look at Su Mu, who was standing right in front of her.

"How...how did you do that?"

Her voice was a little hoarse.

Su Mu calmly looked at the zombie with the axe stuck in its throat in the distance and said indifferently, "Is that all?"

He raised his hand and made a light, floating throwing motion.

Lin Yuwei fell silent.

Seventy or eighty meters.

An axe was thrown seventy or eighty meters and landed precisely on the head of a zombie.

Is this even human?

She suddenly remembered Su Mu's expression when he asked, "Can you climb trees?"... That wasn't a question, it was a notification. He never intended to use any kind of broadcasting from the beginning; he already had his own plan.

"Couldn't you have told me beforehand?" Lin Yuwei asked through gritted teeth, her voice low.

Su Mu casually replied, "I just remembered it and was just trying it out."

Lin Yuwei: "..."

test?

A life-or-death experiment?

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Regardless, the result was indeed good. The cell phone alarm had attracted at least 90% of the zombies, and now there were hardly any wandering figures to be seen in the direction of the haunted house. As long as they were careful, they could sneak over there silently.

only......

She lowered her head and suddenly realized something.

The two were still huddled on the same branch. Su Mu was gripping the trunk with one hand and holding her wrist with the other... He hadn't let go since they pulled up.

She was almost leaning against him, and could clearly feel the warmth of his body, as well as the faint smell of sweat and blood.

No, it's not just that.

In this position... her back was pressed tightly against his chest, his chin was almost on top of her head, and his warm breath gently brushed against her hair.

Lin Yuwei's face flushed red.

She tried to break free, but the slightest movement caused the branch to sway. Looking down, she saw she was at least three or four meters off the ground... Although she wouldn't get seriously injured, the commotion might attract the zombies that hadn't gone far.

"You...you let go first." She lowered her voice, trying to make her tone sound calm.

Su Mu glanced down at her, seemingly only then realizing how intimate their current position was.

He let go.

But the branch was only so big, and even after letting go, the two were still close together.

Lin Yuwei felt her ears burning. She could only turn her head away, pretending to continue observing the situation in the distance, but her mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't concentrate on anything.

The silence lasted for more than ten seconds.

Su Mu suddenly spoke, his voice low: "Do you have a suitable weapon? I threw my axe."

Lin Yuwei paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "I have a big wrench in my bag..."

"I'll borrow it for a bit. We definitely can't make too much noise going into the haunted house. Of course, I'll return it to you if I find a suitable weapon."

"Um."

Lin Yuwei responded with a sound of agreement, then fell silent again.

She could feel Su Mu's gaze on her, as if he were sizing her up. This made her even more uncomfortable.

After a while, the zombies in the distance completely gathered around the phone, crowding together in a dense, eerie, and terrifying scene. And all around them, it had become completely quiet.

"You can go down now," Su Mu said.

He was the first to jump down from the tree, his movements light and nimble, landing almost silently.

Lin Yuwei stood on the tree, looking at the ground, somewhat hesitant.

The height... it's not that high, but it's not that low either. Jumping down wouldn't necessarily cause injury, but the posture would definitely be unsightly.

"Need any help?" Su Mu looked up at her. "Add 0.5%."

Lin Yuwei's initial gratitude vanished instantly.

"Need not!"

She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and leaped...

It landed steadily.

There was no fall, no sprain, not even a stumble.

This surprised Su Su Mu somewhat. In a normal scenario, wouldn't the other party get injured or something? That way, he could reasonably claim a larger share based on the other party's injury.

And when he felt helpless.

Lin Yuwei dusted off her hands, pulled a large wrench from her backpack, and handed it to Su Mu with a disgruntled expression.

Su Mu took it casually, weighed it in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he looked up at Lin Yuwei: "Speaking of which, with so many zombies here, you still have the confidence to go in. You must have some trump cards, right? You know I have a gun here, but it's probably unusable. However, I have some experience dealing with level one zombies."

Su Mu's words were simple: You either reveal your hand to him now, or you're just a burden.

Lin Yuwei rolled her eyes at Su Mu and pulled a grenade from her pocket: "I have this, okay?"

Su Mu frowned: "Are you crazy? That's a haunted house. If you blow it up, not to mention whether the two of us will get hurt, the noise from the explosion will definitely attract all the zombies instantly, and then we'll be surrounded."

"Of course I know that."

Lin Yuwei took out another talisman from her bag.
