Triple Attack!

In the previous timeline, the zombies were still quite a distance away from the bus, and they only gathered upon hearing the commotion in the management office. With that thought in mind, Shen Nianzu quickly mapped out the route in mind and chose the shortcut that would bring them straight to the exit.

The echo of their hurried steps seemed to be magnified indefinitely along with the rustling grass and bushes around. Alas, despite their discreet movements, evading the zombies all the time proved to be impossible as the slightest noise would snap them to attention, causing them to converge on the trio's location. 

Shen Nianzu gave a signal with his hands, which earned him a nod from the other two.
