During their journey, two more people joined their group.


    These two individuals, a man and a woman, were not rted. They came from different floors.


    The man was in his early thirties, with short hair, looking like a sessful person.


    He should be a manager of argepany or the owner of a small business.


    The woman was rtively young and looked good. Benjamin had asionally seen her in the elevator.


    However, due to fear, her face was twisted,cking the grace she had before.


    Although the new man and woman both had weapons in their hands, if screwdrivers and kitchen knives counted as weapons against zombies.


    But like Benjamin, they didn''t dare to approach the zombies at all.


    No, there was one difference.


    Benjamin had been observing the zombies all along.


    He was looking for someone.


    Find the old woman on the first floor opposite.


    Benjamin remembered that on the morning the virus broke out, the olddy turned into a zombie and chased after a woman. Later, because there was activity in their building, she entered their building.


    Heaven helps those who help themselves.


    Benjamin soon found the olddy.


    Her stooped body was surprisingly agile, but she couldn''t withstand the middle-aged man, and was knocked down by his two strikes.


    Benjaminndedst, seized the opportunity when no one was paying attention, and rummaged through the olddy''s pockets. Sure enough, he found a bunch of keys, among which was the ess key he urgently needed for the opposite unit.


    Benjamin pocketed the keys, then returned to the group and squeezed into the middle.


    As they were about to reach the first floor, Benjamin was feeling pleased with himself.


    Suddenly, a mutation urred!


    Several zombies appeared out of nowhere upstairs, rushing towards them aggressively.


    "Ah!"


    The woman at the back screamed, being the first to notice the zombies rushing from above, and dashed downstairs in panic.


    Benjamin was pushed to the side by the frantic woman. The other man beside him was also panicked and instinctively followed suit.


    "Damn it!"


    With three deadweights, the middle-aged man was less agile.


    From the top floor to the first floor, continuous high-intensitybat had also depleted his stamina.


    If they weren''t so close to the first floor, he would have wanted to rest.


    But with the sudden turn of events, especially the woman suddenly jumping to his position, affecting his movements, he almost got bitten by a zombie.


    He couldn''t help but curse.


    Clearly, the zombies upstairs were still far away, separated by a floor.


    The middle-aged man felt exhausted. He simply stepped aside and let the woman pass.


    The woman darted to the front, unexpectedly encountering a zombie head-on.


    "Help me!"


    The zombie grabbed the woman and began to bite her.


    The woman''s screams pierced the air, immediately attracting another zombie to pounce on her.


    Seeing the situation turning grim, the middle-aged man turned his head and entered the corridor on the second floor, closing the hallway door behind him.


    Benjamin reacted quickly, following behind the middle-aged man, but narrowly avoiding getting his nose pinched by the suddenly closing door.


    "Big brother, open the door, I haven''t gotten in yet!"


    There was no response from inside.


    Benjamin looked around anxiously.


    There were zombies in front and zombies behind.


    Now the only escape route, the corridor door on the second floor, was firmly shut.


    Benjamin looked at the woman being bitten and the other panicked man, and made a ruthless decision.


    Just one floor!


    He pushed the other man forward forcefully.


    The man couldn''t steady himself and fell downstairs immediately, hitting another zombie on the way down.


    The zombie was excited. Was there food delivered to its doorstep?


    So it fiercely bit the man!


    "Ah~"


    The man''s screams echoed, while he struggled violently, trying to break free from the zombie.


    He was almost out of breath from being trampled on by a foot.


    But it was Benjamin who took advantage of the attack by the two zombies on the others, stepping over them crazily, and sprinting downstairs.


    The zombies from upstairs also arrived.


    If he didn''t run now, he would be finished here.


    Fortunately, the zombies on the first floor and at the entrance of the unit had all been attracted inside.


    Benjamin ran smoothly without any hindrance and reached the front of the opposite unit.


    He immediately took out the keys and stuck them to the ess control of the unit door.


    With a "beep," the unit door opened.


    Seeing zombies chasing from behind, Benjamin didn''t have time to think too much. He pulled open the door and rushed in immediately.


    Then he mmed the door shut.


    "Bang! Bang!"


    The zombies hit the door, making a loud noise.


    Benjamin breathed heavily.


    His heartbeat had never been so fast before.


    It felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.


    But fortunately, he was safe!


    He slumped against the door, sitting on the ground, resting for about half an hour before he felt his strength returning to his body.


    "Now, how to get that woman to open the door!"


    Benjamin stood up, pondering as he slowly climbed upstairs, quickly reaching the fifth floor. He straightened himself up, putting on a harmless smile, and knocked on the door.


    "Hello, I''m from the opposite building, we''ve been in contact before!"


    There was no answer from inside, but instead, the sound of objects being moved could be heard.


    Benjamin didn''t give up and continued, "I''m a teacher at the Neoville City Art Academy. I just escaped from death and didn''t bring anything with me. I''m hungry and thirsty. Could you please give me something to eat and drink?"


    In response, there was a "thud," as if something heavy was being pressed against the door.


    Benjamin''s smile froze on his face. He realized what was happening. The woman inside must have barricaded the door with something.


    "Miss, really, I just need a little water and food!"


    There was no response from inside.


    Benjamin''s expression gradually twisted. "Damn it, you stubborn woman! I know you''re alone inside. Wait until I get in, I''ll show you!"


    Benjamin roared angrily. In response, there was another "thud," as something else was pressed against the door.


    "Damn it!"


    Benjamin was furious. He took two steps back and then kicked the door forcefully.


    "Thud!"


    The security door made a loud noise, but it still stood strong. Benjamin kicked it several times, his feet bing numb, but the door wouldn''t budge.


    "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! You wait for me!"


    Benjamin was frustrated, but he had no other choice but to circle around in ce.


    "Bark! Bark!"


    At this moment, a small dog on the fifth floor heard themotion and ran out, baring its teeth and barking incessantly at Benjamin.


    Benjamin, already feeling irritated, became even more furious when he saw the dog barking at him.


    "How dare a dog bully me?"


    He took two steps forward, intending to kick the dog away. However, the dog agilely dodged and bit Benjamin''s leg.


    "Ah~"


    Benjamin screamed in pain, shaking his leg vigorously to shake off the dog.


    The dognded steadily on the ground, still baring its teeth and staring at Benjamin. There were traces of blood on its teeth.


    "Damn it!"


    Benjamin cursed, rolling up his pants in a hurry.


    There was a gruesome wound on his calf, blood oozing out continuously, as if a piece of flesh had been torn off.


    Benjamin sucked in a cold breath from the pain. He wanted to seek revenge on the dog, but as soon as he took a few steps, his leg throbbed with intense pain.


    "You all, just wait for me!"


    Benjamin threatened, but in his heart, he regretted being in such a hurry to escape, leaving behind his stick. He needed to find a weapon, as well as water and food, and clean the wound.
