Chapter 279 The Zombie Express

The moment Theresa stepped into the subway station, her mind power flared out like radar.

With a fifty–meter radius now under her mental surveillance, she didn’t even need to see the scuffed footprints on the ground–she already sensed the presence of zombies turking in the darkness below.

Right after she chopped down the first one, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed through the pitch–black

tunnels

The dead were coming.

Dozens of zombies surged out of the shadows from every direction–all charging straight at her.

Fishh!

he tossed a flash grenade. It burst in midair, casting harsh white light over the station.

“Light it up!” she called.

With the sudden glow cutting through the darkness, the rest of the team finally saw what was heading their way–hordes of sprinting zombies closing in fast.

Men, women, even kids. Some still clutched their suitcases, death gripping them tighter than their own fear had.

They had probably lived nearby. When the outbreak hit, they tried to flee. That’s why they w dragging their bags–packed and ready to go, just never made it.

were still

Theresa couldn’t help but sigh again at the timing of the outbreak. It had hit at five or six in the morning- right when subways had barely started running. Hardly anyone had been around. Otherwise, this place would ve turned into a slaughterhouse.

With swift, clean blows, they cut down the zorfibies one by one.

Once they gathered the gleamstones from the fallen, they hurried toward the boarding gates,

A few straggling zombies had started trailing them from the surface. Thankfully, they were all low–level ones. When Theresa and the squad jumped the gates and headed deeper into the station, the zombies gor stuck behind the turnstiles–snarling but helpless.

As they entered the boarding area, they were met with a subway train–doors sealed tight

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound came from inside.

Dozens of zombies were trapped in the train cars, their clawed hands slamming against the windows, furious and ravenous after being starved of human scent for so long.

Now that they sensed living, breathing people nearby, they went berserk–beating against the metal with desperate frenzy.

Theresa stared at the train without saying a word and led the group to the front car,

She peered inside.”

With a loud bang, a face slammed into the front windlow–gray, bloodless, and wrapped in the shredded remains of a uniform.

The conductor.

Aaargh!

Grhhh!

The zombie conductor clawed at the glass, his dead eyes glowing in the beam of Theresa’s headlamp. His face was a hollowed–out husk–just a stretch of gray skin clinging to bone. His neck had a giant gouge, likely where he’d been bitten.

The door beside him was streaked with dried black blood and smeared handprints. From the look of it, he’d been ambushed by zombies outside the train, dragged himself back into the cab in his final moments, only to turn and lock himself in.

Now, he was a caged monster–starved and waiting.

Thunk!

Theresa pulled out a hammer and smashed it against the reinforced glass at all four corners.

Even the toughest safety glass couldn’t hold out under her raw strength. After just two heavy strikes, it cracked.

And that was all it took.

The zombie conductor let out a screech and lunged through the broken gap, jaws wide open.

But Theresa was faster.

“Eat this,”

She shoved the hammer straight into his mouth, jamming it between his top and bottom jaw. Then with a powerful thrust, she drove it deeper–right through his skull. The steel tore out the back of his head.

Clink!

A gleamstone dropped.

The conductor, who never got a taste of fresh meat, died again–this time for good.

Wiping her hands, Theresa turned to the others. Set the traps.

“Yes, ma’am!“

There were way too many zombies in this train to leave it alone. And with Theresa’s cautious nature, she wasn’t about to let a potential threat sit around behind them, not while they had to dig through a tunnel nearby.

Chapter 279 The Zombie Express

Even if the train looked sealed tight, even if the zombies were locked up, anything could happen.

Kyle and the rest jumped down into the tunnel, hauling razor–lined wires. They secured them across the walls and rails, crisscrossing them into a deadly web.

Meanwhile, Theresa stepped into the conductor’s cabin and opened the train doors

The second they slid open, a wave of howls exploded from inside.

The zombies charged blindly toward the scent of the living, straight into the wire traps.

Ten minutes later, the front of the train was piled high with twitching, twitch–dead corpses. Once the last of them was cleared. Theresa gave a satisfied nod and continued into the tunnel.

According to the map, the tracks ran directly beneath the amusement park. The closest point to the underground shelter? Just a hundred meters away.

Theresa reached that spot and came to a stop, facing a thick wall of concrete.

Subway tunnels like this were built using tunnel boring machines–giant drills that laid cement and sealed the walls as they carved forward.

Time to think.
