The glass door was smeared with blood.
Half a torn liver and a tangle of intestines were pressed up against it, grotesquely displayed like some living anatomical specimen.
Crack!
A sickening crunch echoed.
The zombie’s bones, crushed by the flood of others behind it, snapped with a loud pop–a whole row of ribs exploded through its chest, tearing through skin and muscle.
The jagged, pale bones, still dripping with flesh, jabbed straight into the glass, scraping with an awful and unbearable screech.
And just behind that door was the west exit.
But the path ahead was blocked.
They had two choices now: take a long, winding detour, or head into the center of the maze- shorter path, but far more dangerous
“I have an idea.
The voice came from behind Theresa.
She turned, along with the others.
A bloodied young man stepped forward.
She recognized him. He was the one who’d killed his own sister at the start.

“All these dorms are connected,” Harry said seriously. “You’ve got admin clearance, right? We can cut through the rooms,”
Five minutes later, Theresa stood inside one of the rooms.
Each dorm was built to hold four people–clean white walls, barely twenty square meters. Two bunk beds, two lockers, one desk. That was it. No kitchen. No bathroom. Those were shared in the hall.
Each room had two doors, front and back, connecting it to the next.
They had just three rooms to cut through.
“These doors only open for admin access,” Harry explained. “Try your code.”
Theresa nodded at Lucas.
Lucas walked up and punched in the string of numbers Dr. Klein had given them.
Ding!

The door slid open.
Inside, a man stood with his back to them, wandering aimlessly.
As soon as he heard the door, he turned-
His face was soaked in blood.
“Raaagh!”
He lunged toward them.
Shing!

The zombie dropped dead in an instant.

Once inside, Lucas‘ team shut the door, retrieved the gleamstone, and moved on to the next room.
Harry and the others watched them move with crisp, silent efficiency. Awe lit up in their eyes.
They followed closer than ever.
Soon, Theresa’s team reached the final room.
Only two zombies inside. They were gone in seconds.
raham quietly cracked the last door and peeked.
They were in luck– most of the zombies were down the side corridors. The west exit stood right in front
of them.
The coast was clear.
Perfect timing.
Graham nodded, then dashed forward to the west exit, keying in the door’s lock.
The moment it clicked open, he motioned for everyone to move.
Theresa and the others slipped through, quick and quiet, like professionals.
Then it was Harry and the civilians‘ turn. They bolted.

“ Raaagh! ”
Raaagh!*
*Rnaagh!”
Zombies charged from both sides.
Harry’s heart pounded alongside the others.
They knew if this had been Ark One’s upper ranks, the door would already be shut. They wouldn’t have hesitated to leave them for dead. They never did. Those people only cared about their own safety.
He had seen it too many times.
Panic flashed in everyone’s eyes.
But to their surprise, the door stayed open..
“Move! Hurry!” Kyle shouted from the back.
Like a surge of electricity, the group sprinted forward with everything they had.
One, two…Seven, eight-
The last one dove through the entrance-
“Raaagh! ”
A zombie lunged, just barely missing them by a breath.
