Chapter 722 Finally Escaped
5587 stayed close to them while killing those zombies at full speed.
“Rawr!”
Every zombie that lunged at them was chopped away.
Finally, when the icy water had risen to their waists, they reached the elevator location.
Although the elevator could no longer operate, the shaft was their only way of escape.
Finished
At that moment, a figure appeared at the elevator entrance. The man wore a suit and glasses, standing guard at the door as the group ran toward him.
When Herold saw him, his gaze became extremely complicated.
The next second, he heard the figure say, “Go.”
Sage stepped aside, revealing the open elevator doors and the empty shaft behind him.
In that split second, Herold immediately recalled the anonymous message that had revealed the location of Decision Maker One.
Herold didn’t know where Decision Maker One was. It was someone who told him. However, the only one who could have known within the entire underground headquarters was…
As Herold thought about it, a glint flashed across his eyes. Then, he nodded toward Sage before lifting Theresa and jumping into the elevator shaft. He slung her over his shoulder and began climbing the ladder.
Herold had barely entered the shaft when the entire underground camp started to shake.
With a thunderous rumble, several underground levels collapsed layer by layer under the force of the water and crumbled apart.
At that moment, he received the final message from his three Torchbearers through the earpiece.
“Herold, make sure the fire is passed on.”
The Torchbearers had all sacrificed themselves. Or rather, they had never intended to escape. He himself,. including 5587, had all prepared for death.
Torchbearers were those who would bring fire to humanity, even at the cost of having their liver pecked daily by vultures. By choosing this name, they were never afraid of death. Even in their final moments, they would do their last deed for humanity.
As Herold received their final words, his grip on the railing tightened. At that moment, a fierce wave of seawater surged toward the elevator entrance.
Seeing the roaring torrent, Sage stopped holding off the zombies. He and 5587 jumped into the shaft at the
same time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless zombies in the icy seawater slammed into the closed elevator doors. The metal doors were deformed from the impacts, and icy seawater gushed through the cracks, flooding into the shaft.

In just three seconds, the bottom of the shaft was filled with seawater.

Herold, carrying Theresa, was now fully submerged. All of them began swimming upward with all their strength.
Dong
A muffled sound echoed through the water as the deformed elevator doors were finally smashed open. Then, zombies poured in like a horde of fish, wildly twisting their bodies as they chased the fresh prey.
Three zombies became five, then ten… Twenty… Fifty… Ahundred…
The elevator shaft was packed like a can of sardines as the mass of zombies boiled upward in pursuit.
One hundred meters left until they submerged from the surface.
Fifty meters… Thirty… Ten!
Just as they were about to reach the top, a zombie accelerated, its claws slashing toward Sage’s ankle.
