"Kill zombies? Do you know how?"
Leo Hale hesitated.
If one more person joined them to kill zombies, their lives might actually get a little easier.
"I can learn. I’m a fast learner."
Shannon Renner said eagerly.
"Leo Hale, there’s no more room in the house,"
Ian Chandler reminded him.
"How about you stay in the house next door to us?
We’ve already cleared out all the zombies inside."
Leo Hale still felt a bit sorry for her.
Granny Warner’s house next door was relatively clean, and if she lived right there, they could look out for each other.
Shannon Renner bit her lip but finally nodded in agreement.
Several consecutive days of facing zombies head-on had made Leo Hale and the other two much calmer.
Even when they saw zombies, the three of them weren’t as nervous or scared as before.
The number of zombies each of them killed per day had risen from just a few to ten or eleven. Although Nina Jacobs alone far surpassed them, at least they were no longer holding the group back.
And they were getting more and more proficient with their Superpowers.
But Leo Hale noticed that Nina Jacobs hadn’t been paying him much mind for the past two days.
’How did I offend her this time?’
Leo Hale stared at Nina Jacobs’s cold, retreating back, unable to figure it out for the life of him.
"Maybe reflect on your actions? You bleeding heart."
Chelsea Walsh patted him sympathetically.
The woman named Shannon Renner, whom they had rescued the day before yesterday, had already moved into the neighbor’s house.
Whenever they came out to clear the zombies from outside their door, she would insist on tagging along.
It had to be said, the woman was a very fast learner. From her first move, she was already stronger than the three of them, but Nina Jacobs always treated her like a complete stranger.
Today, Shannon Renner had once again suggested moving into the old house with them. Thankfully, Ian Chandler had refused in time.
"Me, a bleeding heart?"
Leo Hale felt the need to defend himself, but just then, they heard a strange sound coming from not too far away.
It was clearly gunfire!
"What’s going on? Is someone here?"
And the sounds seemed to be getting closer.
"The gunfire is dense. I think it might be a rescue team."
Ian Chandler’s words got everyone excited.
They had been listening to the radio broadcasts for intel every day, hoping a rescue team would take them to a safe base camp.
Could they really be here so soon?
"If it’s a rescue team, my brother might be with them!"
Chelsea Walsh was even more excited.
She wanted to rush out right now and see what was happening.
"But if they’re making such a huge ruckus, aren’t they afraid of attracting zombies?"
But Daniel Hale felt that things weren’t that simple.
There weren’t that many zombies in their alley, but the streets were crawling with them.
"That’s right. Going out now would most likely be a death sentence.
We should stay put."
Nina Jacobs had no intention of going out.
’In my past life, the rescue team didn’t get here this quickly.’
"Why?"
Leo Hale asked out of habit.
Nina Jacobs glanced at him. She didn’t want to answer, but seeing that everyone was looking at her, she slowly put down the apple Vera Coleman had peeled for her.
"There’s only one reason they’d risk opening fire and making such a huge noise.
They’re already past the point of caring."
"You’re saying they’re in danger?" Daniel Hale thought what Nina Jacobs said was very likely.
"It’ll be fine as long as they don’t come this way.
But if they flee into the alley in a panic, we could easily get dragged into it."
Nina Jacobs was a little frustrated by the situation.
After all, they were just hiding here, which put them in a fairly passive position.
She also hoped that group of people wouldn’t notice these old alleys.
"Then what do we do...?"
After hearing what Nina Jacobs said, Chelsea Walsh was at a complete loss.
Right now, she desperately hoped Forrest Walsh wasn’t out there.
But sometimes, your worst fears come true.
Nina Jacobs was the first to sense that something was wrong.
With her Five Senses Enhancement...

"Nina, don’t tell me they’re really coming here?"
