Chapter 31

Rhodes was very fast. He had no intention of waiting for the zombies to surround him. However, he was faced with a dilemma as soon as he exited the park. In front of him was a group of strangely muscular zombies. At the same time, hot on his trails was the thin zombie he had seen earlier that seemed to be able to communicate with other zombies. He knew if he fought them directly, he would definitely win. However, it would slow him down considerably. At that time, the army of zombies would definitely catch up to him. If the army of zombies surrounded him, he would not be able to get out. Let alone Julie, he would also be torn apart by the army of zombies.

Moreover, as a level-eight zombie, Julie's energy crystal was extremely attractive to the zombies. If she was surrounded, there was no doubt she would die an even more miserable death than Rhodes.

Rhodes saw the thin zombie catching up to him and knew he could not afford to hesitate any longer. If he hesitated any longer, he would not be able to walk out of this place.

At this moment, he saw a tattered banner hanging from a tree. He quickly pulled it down and used it to tie Julie to him. Then, he took the initiative to charge at the muscular zombies at full speed.

Boom!

When he collided with one of the muscular zombies, one of the zombie's arms was reduced into a pulpy mess.

Blood rained down on the zombies in the surroundings.

Rhodes did not stop and continued to charge into the group of muscular zombies. He was like an angry wild bear as he cut his way through the group of muscular zombies. He destroyed everything that stood in his way.

Unfortunately, this wasted a lot of Rhodes' time. The zombie that seemed capable of communication had already caught up to Rhodes.

Apart from that, some zombies even reached out their disgusting hands to grab Julie who was tied to his back.

Just as those stinky hands were about to grab Julie, Rhodes suddenly made a sharp turn and jumped onto the roof of a truck that was parked in front of him.

The zombie that seemed capable of communication could not stop itself in time and directly hit the truck.

When Rhodes stood up, he realized he did not know in which direction he should run.

At this moment, the south gate was surrounded by zombies. He did not know the people on campus so it was not worth the risk to run in there. There was a possibility he might face danger in there as well. Apart from that, there was also the risk of him being denied entry. At that time, he would only end up wasting more time.

In the end, he decided he could only find a temporary safe place before he made any further decisions.

He jumped off the truck decisively.

The zombie that seemed capable of communication seemed to have recovered and was continuing to chase him.

He passed through many obstacles before he finally entered a building he deemed safe. However, the sight that greeted his eyes when he entered the building shocked him. He saw a zombie with an appearance that was different from all the zombies he had seen before. This zombie was also short, and its face was twisted beyond recognition. It had a protruding green belly, and his long tongue lolled out of his mouth, dripping with disgusting green slime.

The zombie saw Rhodes as soon as Rhodes saw it. It did not hesitate and began to attack by spitting green slime at Rhodes.

Upon seeing the green slime that threatened to drench him, Rhodes moved to the side at top speed and avoided the attack.

As soon as the green slime hit the floor, a nauseating stench permeated the air. At the same time, the ground where it landed began to corrode as a sizzling noise rang in the air.

When Rhodes saw the corrosive effect of the green slime, he could not help but feel lucky for dodging it. Fortunately for him, despite the zombie's corrosive green slime, its attack speed was very slow. For this reason, it was easy for him to dodge its attacks.

Meanwhile, the corrosive zombie seemed angry when it saw that its attack did not land on Rhodes. It immediately launched five consecutive attacks in a frenzy.

Rhodes looked at the five puddles of green slime sailing toward him in the air and cursed, "Damn it!" Then, he quickly retreated from the entrance of the building.

At this moment, the zombie that seemed capable of communication entered the building. Coincidentally, the five barrages of green slime landed on it, completely destroying it.

Looking at the puddle of green slime and corroded zombie at the entrance, he knew he would not be able to get through if he did not kill the corrosive zombie.

Seeing its attacks had missed again, the corrosive zombie began even more furious. It seemed to have given up on long-range attacks and began to charge toward Rhodes with its heavy body. However, it had only taken a few steps forward when it tripped over a corpse on the ground.

"Ah?" Rhodes was slightly stunned. He had expected a fierce battle, but the result was somewhat unexpected. When he regained his senses, he quickly grabbed a shard of glass on the floor and decisively plunged it into the corrosive zombie's protruding belly to kill it.

As soon as the half-a-meter-long shard of glass pierced the corrosive zombie's belly, a sizzling sound rang in the air. The green slime was melting the shard of glass!

Due to the thinness of the corrosive zombie's skin over its belly, Rhodes could see the inside of the corrosive zombie's stomach that was sloshing with green slime. He watched as the shard of glass completely melted before the zombie's stomach began to gurgle violently and contract.

Soon after, he saw the sloshing green slime in the corrosive zombie's stomach surged toward its four limbs, causing its body to grow in size.

After the transformation, the corrosive zombie rose its feet and roared. When it opened its mouth, the sour and rotten stench of the green slime assaulted Rhodes' nose.

At this moment, the army of zombies finally caught up and entered the building. One by one, the zombies were corroded and killed by the green slime at the entrance of the building. However, it did not take long before the green slime dried up. With thatt, the remaining zombies roared as they swarmed into the building.

Rhodes did not have time to feel disgusted when he looked at the corrosive zombie in front of him and the roaring army of zombies behind him. He kicked the corrosive zombie where it was most vulnerable. However, his shoe began to corrode rapidly as soon as it made contact with the zombie. Fortunately, he was able to kick the zombie away even if he did not manage to kill it.

Before the corrosive zombie rose to its feet again, Rhodes quickly ran upstairs with Julie on his back.

Meanwhile, the army of zombies did not relent and continued to chase Rhodes.

Rhodes did not know how long he had been running, but he felt slightly tired. Finally, when he lifted his head, he discovered he had reached the rooftop of the building. 'No wonder I feel tired. I ran all the way to the top of the building…'

Rhodes opened the door that led to the rooftop. When he walked out, he saw the slightly red sky and the setting sun.

He knew this was it. Whether or not he could escape depended on this one time.

The door would not be able to hold the army of zombies back for long. At this moment, they were already frantically pounding on the door.

Rhodes estimated that in about two minutes, the zombies would break through the door.

With this, he no longer hesitated. He moved back to the door as he looked ahead, ready to sprint.

That was right. Rhodes intended to leap from the rooftop of this building to the rooftop of the building across it.

No one, not even Rhodes himself, knew if he would succeed.
