The sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
No one knew how the zombies managed to breach the superhumans' protective barrier and infiltrate the safe zone, or who had started all this. In the blink of an eye, a blazing fire turned the night bright as day, with the cries of humans and the growls of zombies simultaneously piercing the still air.
Su Junxin woke abruptly from her sleep, and barefooted, hurried to the window to draw the curtains. The decapitated head of a zombie lay motionless on the window, the room's soft white light giving its murky eyes an eerie glow. She sucked in a breath, her heart momentarily seizing in her chest.
Regaining control of her heartbeat, she swiftly put on her jacket and shoes, taking a knife in one hand and summoning electric sparks in the other while flinging open the door.
