Everyone moved to the entrance, where one of the girls from the group just yelled, thinking it would be a zombie. When they reached, they finally realized that the girl was screaming for nothing. This girl had just joined their group, and it had been over a few days. So she wasn't really habitual of seeing such bloody scenes. And since Tyler had activated his power, no zombie would come near them.
So this girl was in a very safe environment, and before that, she had spent her days hiding inside an empty house, only eating the foodstuffs available in the fridge. But after coming to the mall, she was too shocked to see a zombie eating someone's brain. She had never seen anything like that and was extremely afraid. Her legs gave up as she fell on her knees.
When others reached, they could feel that an unknown power was trying to suppress them. It was clear that there was a being more powerful than any of them had ever imagined. The only person who wasn't affected by this power was Tyler.
He walked indifferently and glanced at the entrance. Sure enough. This was the same zombie he had been conversing with earlier.
When everyone reached the place, all they saw was the zombie, who was stuffing his mouth, and suddenly paused his actions, glanced at the people inside the mall. After a moment of staring at the crowd, he suddenly ran away as if he had just seen someone powerful who was about to kill him.
Only Tyler and Neil knew that this zombie was afraid of the former. But everyone was shocked after seeing this kind of behavior. Hope frowned at this. There was an ominous hunch in her heart, but she didn't dare to dwell on that.
Instead, she shifted her focus to the male lead and Tyler. Since they were the leaders, she could perhaps urge them to go back before they would encounter zombies. And after going back, she would find the leader to converse with him about this secretly.
"We should go back," Tyler said suddenly before the female lead could even say anything.
The male lead's face fell at this. He clearly didn't want to go back to that dorm room where people would constantly interrupt his and Tyler's bed sessions. Ah…why was his life so difficult?!
Tyler saw this person's expressions and hesitated before patting Neil's hands gently and said, "Let's deal with this arc first, okay?"
When Neil saw that his baby was trying to comfort him, his mood instantly lifted, and he grinned, nodding many times like a kid.
Others, who were seeing this exchange, felt like vomiting blood. Could they not see what the situation was before acting all sweet?! The singles around the sickeningly sweet couple were burning out of jealousy!
And they instantly headed back to the school. But as soon as they entered, they didn't get more time before someone announced that he saw a zombie tide coming straight toward the school.
At this time, Hope's heart jumped inside her chest. The hunch she had felt once again surfaced, and she couldn't help but look at Tyler. But after thinking for a while, she shook her head.
She might be crazy to think of something like that. But who would tell her what was going on with those zombies lately?! Why would they keep ignoring their group while attacking others at the same time?!
The female lead felt like she was going mad thinking about such a thing. So she sighed and decided to talk to the leader after this entire matter settled down.
By this time, the fatty leader, Stuart, also walked out and looked around anxiously. He had heard the announcement from the mic and was really frightened. He had installed telescopes at the top of the building and stationed someone always to keep his eyes at the distance. Today, this thing had finally helped him.
But he still couldn't do anything! So what if he had arranged a telescope? He still didn't have powerful men who could help him keep the zombie tide away!
Stuart was so anxious that he almost felt that he had turned bald! Just when he thought he would die out of anxiety, his gaze swept over the group of Tyler and others, and his eyes instantly lit up.
So the leader took out a speaker and yelled at everyone, mainly targeting the powerful group of Neil and Tyler. Even though he hadn't seen them fighting from his own eyes, he had still heard the men and women from that group talking about how powerful Neil and Tyler were! So he did not doubt that they would be able to save his safe zone too!
"Everyone, stand in the formation. Protect the school!" Then he pointed at the boundary wall. "People with Earth-type power will be standing on the boundary wall to protect the zombie tide from entering."
Then a man cleared his throat, who was standing beside the leader. "Boss, we don't have an Earth-type person."
Stuart cursed under his breath and forced a smile. "Then all the ice type people would stand on the boundary wall."
Since everyone had seen Neil creating ice from the combination of water and air, they glanced at him with glistening eyes. So the male lead had no choice but to sigh and say, "Fine, I'll go."
"I'm going too," Tyler said and walked over to the boundary wall before anyone could say anything. At this time, Tyler didn't want to expose himself. He knew that if he fought with the zombies, he would be exposed quickly. So he could just pretend to be very busy creating a safe boundary so that the zombies could stay outside the school.
Tyler stood on the boundary wall beside Neil, who used his hands to build a giant ice wall. Right after that, Tyler raised his hand and created another circle of fire boundary a few meters away from the ice wall.
But he really wasn't putting up much effort into it. What he really wanted to do was finish up with this current arc and escape with the survivors to find another safe zone.
This school wasn't massive. About only two dozen people were there. And according to the storyline, only one among these people was supposed to die in this tide. He would just sit back and observe who would be this person now that he had taken the female lead role.
