Yet another zombie executed the perfect jump. Its claws latched onto the man’s ribcage, fingers stabbing directly into his chest. Using his bones to support itself, it voraciously devoured his entrails. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on.net
Within three or four seconds, he was completely covered in zombies.
“Save me-”
Help-
“Ah-
The man clung tightly to the railing, desperately crying for help.
Juno was the first to rush forward, trying to pull him back to safety.
However, Desmond roughly shoved her aside.
“What are you doing? There’s no point trying to save him anymore!”
He pulled out a small knife from his pocket and slashed at the man’s hand.
“Let go!
Blood sprayed wildly in every direction.
“Let go, d’mn it!”
But no matter how Desmond chopped at the man’s hand, the man refused to let go.
Despite being covered in zombies, the man continued to cling desperately to the railing. His desperate gaze peered through the mass of zombies surrounding him, staring intently at the people standing above
him.
“No–Juno screamed. “Don’t kill him! Don’t kill him!”
Desmond cursed, “F*ck! He’s already dead!”
Those words seemed to trigger her.
“You murderer!” She went crazy and started hitting him with her fists. “It’s all your fault! You murderer! You killed everyone!”
A fierce light flashed through his eyes at those words.
He shoved her aside again and glared down at the hand gripping the railing tightly. Raising his foot, he stomped down hard without hesitation.

He was a strength–type ability user.
After three consecutive kicks, the man’s hand became a bloody mess.

Meanwhile, the zombies below were beginning to use the man’s body as a ladder. Just as they were climbing up his torso to reach the fifth floor, his grip finally wavered and loosened.
He plummeted to the lower floors, dragging a large number of zombies with him.
“Ronald!” Juno screamed. She collapsed to her knees, helplessly reaching out her hand toward the falling figure.
Theresa raised an eyebrow at the name.
Ronald? Ronald Lorik? Wasn’t that the name on the work badge we found on the fifteenth floor earlier?
On the other hand, Desmond seemed to change into a different person when he heard the name. He grabbed Juno roughly and yelled at the others. “Destroy the stairs, now!”
Then, he dragged Juno upstairs.
The others hurriedly raised various fire axes and makeshift weapons, hammering wildly at the staircase.
There were three strength–type ability users among them. Thanks to their efforts, the reinforced concrete stairs began to crack and chip under their furious blows.
“Let go, you murderer!” Juno struggled violently in Desmond’s grip. “Don’t touch me!
“Don’t touch me! I said, don’t touch me!”
She angrily bit down hard on his arm.
Her actions made him snap, and his temper reached its peak.
“I can’t touch you! But Ronald can!” As soon as he reached the sixth floor, he ignored Theresa and roughly threw Juno into the room. “Don’t you dare forget–I’m your legitimate fiance! Ronald is nothing more than a meddling sc*mbag!”
“You’re the sc’mbag! The nastiest sc*mbag in the world!”
Slap!
Desmond slapped Juno hard across the face. “If you want him so badly, then go and join him!”
He then turned and ran back downstairs to help the others, leaving her gasping and sobbing painfully on the ground.
“Serves her right! I hope she dies! Cecilia, who had been watching the drama unfold from the side, looked absolutely delighted.
Theresa glanced at Cecilia
Sensing Theresa’s gaze, Cecilia turned and gave Theresa a sly look. “Do you want to know about Ronald?”

“Nope.”

“Oh, well… I’ll tell you for free. Ronald Lorik was Juno’s ex–husband.” She watched the weeping woman on- the ground with a gloating expression. “She’s really something, isn’t she? To have so many men fawning over her… but her lucky days are over!”
Theresa wondered casually, “Did she steal your boyfriend or something?”
Cecilia turned toward Theresa in astonishment. “Can you read minds?”
Do I really need to read minds to know that? Theresa rolled her eyes at those words.
Just look at how she constantly badmouths and sabotages the other woman! More often than not, that kind of grudge only stems from a stolen husband or a murdered parent.
“Those men were supposed to be mine!” Cecilia glared hatefully at Juno.
“Ronald, Desmond… I was the one who had my eye on them first! She stole them from me!”
Theresa rolled her eyes again.
If we were living in peaceful times, I would have brought this woman directly to a psychiatrist.
Meanwhile, chaos ensued downstairs.
Desmond and the rest of his group were furiously hammering away at the stairway on the fifth floor.
With their combined efforts, an entire section of the floor began to collapse. When the floor crashed downward, the thick slab of concrete spanning more than three inches crushed a large group of zombies underneath.
But there was no time for rejoicing. The fallen concrete slab soon disappeared under the zombies that swarmed forward once more.
The zombies ascend resumed. Using the slab of concrete as a platform, they climbed upward and jumped, trying to reach the stairway hanging above.
“Roar!”
A zombie managed to grab onto the stairway on the fifth floor and began climbing rapidly.
