If Ruo Yu were facing a normal human opponent at this moment, he would have been terrified by the extremely bloody scene just now. Unfortunately, his opponents were zombies. Although Ruo Yu instantly killed one, the other zombies still charged in fearlessly!

Fortunately, Ruo Yu's timely attack just now saved Ah Chou, who immediately pounced and bit one of the zombies surrounding Ye Yizhou. Ruo Yu also regained his spirit and, with both hands, made a swift grab at another zombie surrounding Ye Yizhou!

Ten threads, now exceptionally sharp, let out a piercing whistle, instantly tearing the zombie's skin and leaving ten deep wounds on its body!

He didn't directly slice it as he did before because Ruo Yu was pursuing speed and didn't use his full strength. However, zombies are naturally immune to pain. Even though Ruo Yu had torn their skin, they only roared and moved slightly slower, but their fighting will remained unaffected.

Ruo Yu's move successfully drew the zombie's hatred. The zombie decisively abandoned Ye Yizhou and charged at Ruo Yu with a yelp!

Ruo Yu gritted his teeth, used all his strength, and brought his five fingers together. The five threads merged and swiftly slashed at the zombie's neck! A terrifying flash of blood streaked across, and an ugly head flew into the air!

Thanks to the timely rescue by Ruo Yu and Ah Chou, Ye Yizhou finally caught his breath. He used all his strength to smash a zombie's head, temporarily resolving the crisis!

Fortunately, the door was only so wide. Although the zombies were very eager, only a few could squeeze in at a time. So Ruo Yu and Ye Yizhou, along with Ah Chou, managed to hold their ground, displaying a formidable spirit of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot get through"!

However, they had a disadvantage: they were ordinary humans with limited physical strength. Ye Yizhou was also seriously injured, and his entire body was already covered in blood. In contrast, the zombies seemed like perpetual motion machines, continuing to fight even with severe injuries...

The two of them held on for about ten minutes. To Ruo Yu, these ten minutes felt incredibly long. Then, a loud clang sounded, which to him was like a heavenly melody.

It turned out that Ren Guobin had finally succeeded in removing the iron bars blocking the balcony!

Ruo Yu shouted, "Old Ye, you carry Ah Chou and jump down with Old Ren. I'll take care of Wen Ting!"

Among the patients, Ye Yizhou was relatively clear-headed and rational. His only issue was that he preferred animals over humans (except for Dami).

Hearing Ruo Yu's words, Ye Yizhou didn't hesitate. He called out to Ah Chou, who decisively jumped onto his back, claws tightly gripping his clothes.

To be honest, Ruo Yu had always suspected that Ye Yizhou could communicate with animals. He had never seen anyone train a dog as well as Ye Yizhou. Ah Chou was practically a dog genius...

Ye Yizhou moved quickly, grabbed the rope made from bed sheets and pillowcases, and tied it securely to the bed frame with Ren Guobin. Then, he grabbed the sheets with both hands, braced his feet against the wall, and began to climb down!

When Ye Yizhou and Ah Chou went down first, Ren Guobin, seeing Ruo Yu guarding the door alone, bravely rushed over and successfully ambushed a zombie with his special weapon. Only after Ye Yizhou safely reached the ground did he follow, flipping out the window and climbing down the rope!

Ruo Yu, guarding the door alone, had already killed so many zombies that his eyes were bloodshot. Faced with the continuous influx of zombies, he no longer cared about technique, just tearing at them with his ability. For a moment, the hospital room entrance was a scene of blood and gore, with a terrifying aura of death!

Ruo Yu was burning his last bit of strength. Just as he was about to be exhausted, he glanced at the window. Ye Yizhou and Ren Guobin should have safely made it down. He gritted his teeth, used his last bit of strength to sever the head of the leading zombie, creating a few seconds of respite. He quickly ran back into the room and scooped up Shen Wenting, who was still sound asleep!

As soon as he picked up the little beauty, the zombies behind him swarmed into the room. Without hesitation, Ruo Yu, holding Shen Wenting, leaped out the window!

As he leaped, he shot out five threads with his right hand, which tightly grabbed the fourth-floor windowsill, greatly reducing the downward momentum. However, due to the rush and lack of practice, the distance from the fourth floor to the ground was too short to adjust, causing Ruo Yu to land on his buttocks, nearly killing him.

Then came several loud thuds as a few zombies, in pursuit of Ruo Yu, jumped down as well. Unfortunately, they lacked his ability and landed with internal injuries, unable to move.

Ruo Yu, lying on the ground, was startled to hear the little beauty in his arms coldly curse, "Idiot!"

Ruo Yu exclaimed, "You're finally awake! And, how come your personality hasn't changed back after sleeping?!" He smiled bitterly, "My dear, if you're awake, could you please get off me? My bones feel like they're about to break..."

Shen Wenting sneered, slowly stood up, and felt in her pocket, quickly pulling out the phone that Ruo Yu had fixed and placed in her pocket.

The little beauty looked at it seriously, confirming it was fixed and that the two messages were still there. Her expression softened slightly. At that moment, one of the fallen zombies, which was right behind Shen Wenting, began to stagger to its feet. Ruo Yu shouted in alarm, "Watch out behind you!"

Shen Wenting let out a "Huh," turned her head without looking back, and suddenly kicked backward with her right foot, hitting the zombie's knee. With a crack, the zombie immediately knelt. Then, with a standard spinning kick, she viciously kicked the zombie's head, sending it flying!

Shen Wenting's movements were fluid and full of violent beauty! Lying on the ground, Ruo Yu couldn't help but ask, "Wen Ting, where did you learn all this?"

The personality-shifted Shen Wenting ignored him and went to check the other zombies, delivering a final kick to each one to ensure they were dead. She then looked at Ruo Yu, seemingly pondering something.

At that moment, hurried footsteps approached. Ruo Yu recognized them as Ye Yizhou and Ah Chou. Ye Yizhou silently helped Ruo Yu up, and Ruo Yu couldn't help but ask, "Where's Ren Guobin?"

Ye Yizhou pointed northeast, clearly indicating that the guy had run in that direction.

Ruo Yu exclaimed, "He just runs around. There are more zombies outside. How can he defend himself alone?!"

Ye Yizhou, unable to answer, couldn't communicate with normal people, let alone a severely mentally ill person like Ren Guobin...

Ruo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "You take me to find that guy first!"

Ye Yizhou nodded, helped him up, and the two of them, along with Ah Chou, who barked happily and followed closely, began to move forward.

Ruo Yu suddenly remembered something and said to Shen Wenting, "Will you come with us?"

Shen Wenting glared at him, her face full of suspicion. Clearly, this personality had a severe lack of trust in others! No wonder she had caused such a commotion earlier!

Ruo Yu sighed. This woman was too aggressive. It was a miracle she hadn't attacked him yet. He had already saved her from the hospital, and if she didn't want to go with them, he couldn't force her.

Just as he was about to follow Ye Yizhou to find Ren Guobin, Shen Wenting suddenly spoke, "Will you promise to fix my phone in the future?"

A cold sweat broke out on Ruo Yu's forehead, and he nodded, "I'll do my best..."

Shen Wenting snorted, "Alright, I'll go with you!"

Ruo Yu was overjoyed. With her around, their safety would be much higher. She was currently the strongest fighter among them!

The three of them and the dog quickly crossed a chaotic grove in front of the mental hospital. In the distance, they could see the town center. Beixi Town, once a beautiful and charming town, was now lifeless and eerily quiet.

The once beautiful stone paths were now littered with corpses and garbage, emitting a strong stench. The shops on both sides were completely destroyed, with glass scattered everywhere and various supplies strewn about.

Led by Ah Chou, they soon found Ren Guobin at the entrance of the town health center, where he was peering in through the window.

Ruo Yu asked irritably, "Comrade Guobin, what are you doing?"

Ren Guobin, clearly startled, relaxed when he saw them. He made a shushing gesture and whispered, "There are people inside! They might be the remnants of the national army. Let's eliminate them together!"

A cold sweat broke out on Ruo Yu's forehead. No wonder this guy was on the fourth floor...

He quickly stopped Ren Guobin, as there might be other survivors inside.

Ruo Yu quickly persuaded him, "Comrade Guobin, they might not be bad people. They could be our own people. Let me go and talk to them first..."

Fortunately, Ren Guobin trusted him and nodded without a word. Ruo Yu, with the three people and the dog, approached the broken entrance of the health center and knocked on the door.

The knocking sound in the eerily quiet environment seemed particularly strange.

Ruo Yu waited for a few minutes, but there was no response. He had to shout, "We are also survivors. We just want to meet and see if we can help each other!"

After a few more minutes of silence, just as Ruo Yu was about to give up, the door suddenly opened!

About ten people, men and women, walked out. However, their appearance made Ruo Yu instantly freeze. Each of them had a bizarre, colorful hairstyle!

This look almost blinded Ruo Yu. For example, the leader, with fair skin and a slender figure, was originally quite handsome but had a heavy smoky eye makeup and hair dyed a terrifying fiery red, standing up in three spikes. Up close, he looked like a Teletubby, and from a distance, like a turkey's tail...

Ruo Yu instantly understood. These were the legendary Shamate clan!

He was still thinking about how to start when Ren Guobin suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the leader's shoulder, and said earnestly, "I know, you are the new patients at our mental hospital!"

The Shamate leader cursed, "I'm not crazy!"

Ren Guobin's face showed a hint of disappointment. He patted the guy's shoulder forcefully, looking heartbroken, "Comrade, why do you want to give up treatment?!"
