Chapter 142 - Panicked state
The air inside the office was suffocating, thick with the metallic tang of blood and the acrid stench of sweat and fear.
Yunfeng and Jai stood near the massive glass wall, their reflections ghostly in the dim morning light. The flickering office lights above cast erratic shadows that danced across the carpeted floor, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Outside, the city was a wasteland. Fires raged in the distance, their flames licking at the sky, while plumes of smoke curled upward like dark serpents. The streets outside were a graveyard of abandoned cars, shattered glass, and the undead, their guttural moans echoing through the desolate urban canyon.
Jai ran a hand through his messy hair. "There’s no way we’re getting back the way we came."
Yunfeng nodded grimly. The main entrance they had used to enter the office was now overrun. The broken lock wouldn’t hold back the growing horde of zombies drawn by the earlier commotion.
Their options were bleak: stay trapped with a group of murderous survivors or find another way out.
Yunfeng turned toward the glass wall. The office window faces the back alley with a few zombies roaming outside. It wasn’t the safest escape, but compared to staying here, it was their only chance.
Jai followed his gaze and smirked, his voice laced with dark humor. "You think you can break it?"
Yunfeng rolled his shoulders, his muscles taut with anticipation. "I can try."
But before he could act, the survivors erupted into chaos.
"No! You can’t break the glass!"
