This is the epicenter of the nuclear explosion.
Fortunately, most buildings were built to withstand higher seismic levels, and their main frameworks were not destroyed.
But!
All the glass, in buildings and vehicles alike, was shattered.
Shattered glass…
Billboards…
And various debris filled every inch of the ground, leaving a scene of devastation.
The shockwave did not completely level the buildings, but it was fatal to humans.
Too many people died.
And too many zombies.
Looking out from the heavy truck's cabin, it was packed with zombies.
"I'll drive!"
Qin Feng pulled Han Ling aside, stepped on the accelerator, and said, "You guys protect her!"
Vroom!
The heavy truck charged towards the building's entrance.
Countless zombies were flung away or sucked under the chassis.
Wherever it went, it left behind dismembered limbs and bodies, and the ground was smeared with thick blood and flesh.
There were also zombies with broken legs, wriggling on the ground.
In the blink of an eye.
The heavy truck crashed into the first-floor lobby.
Hundreds of zombies swarmed forward.
"Defensive formation!"
Bang!
Qin Feng kicked open the car door.
The door, with its powerful impact, sent the zombies on that side flying. He seized the opportunity to jump out, "Birdye, cover our rear. Ruo Ruo and Hai Yang, guard the flanks, keep Han Ling in the middle—stay close to me, charge!"
Even an elephant could be bitten to death by ants.
There were simply too many zombies!
In an open area like the lobby, if surrounded by an uncountable number of zombies, even Qin Feng couldn't hold out for long.
He would be unable to move.
Even if he could temporarily block them, his strength would eventually be depleted, leaving him to be slaughtered.
Space Shield!
Qin Feng, with his shield, swung his saber with all his might, heading towards the emergency stairwell.
He had to enter a narrow area to avoid being surrounded.
Vines began to appear on the ground.
After reaching level 2, Xiao Ruo Ruo's vines not only increased to four but also became thicker.
She and Zhou Hai Yang were responsible for the flanks, their purpose not to kill zombies.
There were too many zombies to kill.
Their job was to impede the zombies' progress.
"Roar!"
Zhou Hai Yang summoned dark creatures and charged towards the zombie horde on the left flank.
Again, not to kill zombies.
But to use the dark creatures to hold back the zombies.
Birdye had the easiest job.
Whoosh!
The greatly enhanced dragon's whirlwind column flung the pursuing zombies away.
No need to kill them.
Just as long as they couldn't catch up.
As the emergency stairwell approached, Qin Feng fought his way forward, "Which floor?!"
"I... I don't know..." Han Ling's face was pale with fear.
She had seen a few people kill zombies outside the supermarket, but not many.
Qin Feng had also killed zombies along the way.
But she had remained in the car.
Now.
There were hundreds of zombies in the lobby, and more were running in from outside, drawn by the commotion, an overwhelming number that made one's scalp tingle.
"You don't know?!"
Qin Feng roared, "Then what *do* you know?!"
The building was forty to fifty stories high, with each floor exceeding two thousand square meters.
Without knowing the specific floor, how could they find her?
"She was going for... a company interview," Han Ling replied, trembling.
"Company name!"
"Huanyu Media..."
"Captain!"
Zhou Hai Yang pointed to a sign twenty meters away, next to the elevator shafts, "We can find the specific floor there!"
After the nuclear explosion, water and electricity were cut off very quickly.
The elevators were unusable.
That's why they had to use the emergency stairwell.
But here was the problem!
The signs in the elevator lobby listed the floors for each company, making it easy to find Huanyu Media.
However!
The group was already rushing towards the emergency stairwell, and they were not far from it.
If they went to the elevator lobby, the distance they had already covered would be wasted. Moreover, as more zombies flooded into the lobby, it would become significantly more difficult to turn back and reach the emergency stairwell.
Conversely.
If they didn't know the specific floor of Huanyu Media, they would have to search floor by floor.
"To the emergency stairwell!"
Qin Feng made his decision immediately.
Soon after, the group reached the emergency stairwell.
The stairwell was less than a meter wide, making it difficult for a large number of zombies to swarm in simultaneously. It was finally less dangerous.
"Go in! Shake off the zombies, we'll regroup on the twentieth floor!" Qin Feng shouted.
"Captain, you..."
The others were shocked.
Qin Feng didn't have time to explain. He turned and charged towards the elevator lobby.
In fact, without the need to protect Han Ling or escort the other team members, moving alone was easier.
After all, his physical strength far surpassed that of his companions.
Fighting his way through.
He finally reached the elevator lobby and saw the sign.
Floor 47.
Found it!
However, there were simply too many zombies in the lobby. By the time Qin Feng reached the elevator lobby, all he could see were zombies.
He was surrounded.
Under these circumstances, breaking through to the emergency stairwell was impossible.
Dense waves of zombies charged forward.
They were packed so tightly.
There wasn't even a gap to slip through.
Bang!
He kicked open an elevator door.
Leaping into the air.
He grabbed the steel cable of the elevator.
Countless zombies rushed forward, the ones behind unable to see what was in front, and the ones in front being pushed by those behind.
Instantly.
The first seven or eight zombies plunged into the elevator shaft.
Below was the underground parking lot.
Qin Feng grabbed the steel cable and quickly climbed upwards.
Twentieth floor.
He kicked open an elevator door.
...
Huanyu Media Company.
As a renowned film and television agency, it occupied four floors from the 47th to the 50th, a total of nearly ten thousand square meters.
Before the nuclear explosion, it was a place of prestige.
High society!
Handsome men and beautiful women!
Stars galore!
Now.
The shockwave had shattered the glass, and thick dust covered everything.
Occasionally, a few zombies could be seen wandering about.
Suddenly!
At the company entrance, a zombie was wearing a JK uniform, with a large white area on its chest.
Its figure was incredibly alluring.
If any survivor were present, they would immediately recognize its identity.
A popular starlet!
Unfortunately...
She died in the nuclear blast.
When the plot of "Dead Legion" began—she became one of them!
Floor 48.
Recording studio.
This was where the company's singers practiced daily or recorded songs.
Recording studios required quiet.
Furthermore, to ensure that new songs were not leaked, the security here was extremely strict.
Fingerprint locks.
Alloy doors.
Unauthorized access was impossible.
The sealed environment was meant to prevent leaks of confidential information, but it also blocked the shockwave and made it difficult for the cold snap to penetrate.
Suddenly!
More than a dozen men and women were hiding here!
It was precisely because these people were in the recording studio that they survived the nuclear blast.
More than half a month had passed since the nuclear explosion.
After the blast.
All communication was cut off.
They dared not go out immediately and had no idea what had happened, so they could only wait for rescue.
As a result, they got "The Day After Tomorrow."
Later on.
When the cold snap passed and they could no longer endure, they prepared to leave, only to find that the corpses outside...
All came back to life!
"We must find food and water!"
More than ten people were mostly young, with only one middle-aged man.
Dressed in a suit.
He looked like a successful person at first glance.
However, after half a month of 'hiding,' his once neatly slicked hair had turned into a bird's nest.
His beard was unkempt, and his face was pale.
As the company's operations director, Zheng Gan was the highest-ranking person among these survivors. "If this continues, we'll all starve to death!"
The recording studio had food and water.
It was prepared for singers recording songs.
When recording, they could have some if they were hungry or thirsty.
But!
The quantity was very limited.
After half a month for over ten people, it had long been depleted.
Even with strict rationing, it only lasted until the night before.
"Mr. Zheng..."
A woman, dressed sexily with a lot of makeup on her face, hooked Zheng Gan's arm. "There are monsters outside, how can we go out? Anyway... anyway, I'm too scared."
Who would go?
As Zheng Gan's gaze swept over everyone,
They all immediately lowered their heads.
There were monsters outside.
If they went out, they might not come back!
"You go!"
Zheng Gan finally fixed his gaze on a young girl.
