After leaving the dorm, Max and Ryan headed toward the women's section.They still had five coworkers over there.Two were brothers, whose mother was still alive. The other three all had wives or daughters in that section.They had just reached the corridor when a scream tore through the air."Mom! I'm your eldest son, Chad! Why are you biting me?!"In the middle of the crowd, an elderly woman was straddling a young man's neck, tearing into his shoulder with her teeth. Half his upper body was soaked with blood. The young man's brother beside them tried desperately to pull her off, clawing at her arms and shouting her name. But no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't pry the old woman off once she latched on.People froze in a circle around them, staring in disbelief.Most of them were locals from the surrounding mountains. When the apocalypse first broke out, Ark Three had taken them in because it needed labor. They had barely seen real zombies before."S-She didn't turn in

"Raarh!"A zombie burst into the dining hall. It was covered in blood, its face twisted into something barely human.The zombie was huge. It was built like a tank, fast and powerful, the kind that was born strength and speed-enhanced all at once.The moment it charged in, it lunged straight for the nearest guard. Its jaws clamped down on the man's neck with a wet crunch. Its fangs pierced cartilage clean through.Crunch, crunch…The sound rang out like someone chewing straight through bone.Someone recognized the zombie."That's Piers! The Level One manager! How did he turn, too?"Bang!Arnold fired without hesitation, blowing Piers's head apart mid-bite. Before anyone could breathe, more zombies came pouring in."Raarh!""Raarh!""Raarh!"At the front were Gus and Davy, both still wearing their janitor uniforms.Davy's abdomen had been torn open. A length of intestine dangled out, and Gus was chewing on it while running. Blood sprayed with every bite.They charged str

"We're locking the doors," Arnold said. "Okay." Hayley pulled her gaze away from the screen and stepped out.On the surveillance wall, all you could see were people running in every direction. Arnold didn't bother tracking where they were headed.It didn't matter. They would die either way.Arnold led everyone out of the control room. The door slammed shut behind them with a heavy thud.Compared to the outbreak tearing through Level One, he had something more urgent to deal with. He needed to find out where the zombie virus had come from.At the same time, he ordered every elevator between the floors locked down. If another outbreak hit a different level, he wasn't letting it spread vertically.Only people from Level Five were allowed to move downward. No one else was permitted to come up. Each floor was sealed tight.Not long after, a report landed in front of him.It confirmed it. Across the entire base, aside from Level One and Level Five, there were no other infections.

The moment Hayley finished speaking, the room went dead silent.Right. The zombie virus inhibitor.They had argued endlessly about whether it worked. Then, the incident at Ark Two happened. Trevor used it himself and died soon after. After that, there was no way to verify anything.But now that Hayley said it out loud…What if the inhibitor itself didn't work? What if Trevor still got the virus, and then everything spiraled from there?Someone from Ark Two spoke up, his voice tightening despite himself. "Y-You can't…" But Arnold cut in."Mr. Clayton died on Level Five," he said slowly. "Yet the outbreak started on Level One. How do you explain that?"Hayley glanced at him lazily.Samuel's advice echoed in her mind: Divide them. Let them tear each other apart.This was the perfect moment."That's easy to check," she said. "Look for anyone who could move freely between Level One and Level Five and had direct contact with your director. Once you find that person, you'll know w

The zombies rushing in like a solid wall were stopped cold.The next second, they were blasted away by a storm of water.The entire curtain of mist seemed to rip every drop of moisture out of the air in an instant. Everyone felt it at once. Their faces dried. Their palms went tight and rough.Then, the water exploded.Mist detonated through the room, soaking every corner except the people still breathing. Each needle of water hit like a high-speed bullet.More than 100 zombies were wiped out in a single heartbeat.A moment ago, the zombies had been roaring and charging. Now, they lay scattered across the floor like a room that had just been flooded and drained.No one spoke.Everyone stared, stunned, at the source of that absurd power.It was Hayley.Then, the glass shattered with a loud crash.Zombies packed into the hallway smashed through window after window. They poured in like a broken dam, bodies tumbling over one another as they charged.Arms flailed. Claws slashed.
