Xu Lin had barely finished speaking when Xiao Zhou had already taken the lead and run towards the staircase.
The others followed closely behind him, each with a look of panic, but still mustering the courage at this life-and-death moment to knock down all the zombies blocking their way.
By the time Xu Lin had dealt with the two zombies in front of him and was ready to catch up, he realized that he had somehow fallen behind.
He hurriedly looked ahead to check if Xiao Zhou and the others were safe.
He saw that they had disappeared into the staircase.
"Hurry! Keep up!"
"Xiao Zhou and the rest are just ahead!"
"I'll hold off the zombies behind us, move faster, I might not hold out much longer!"
Several more frantic survivors ran over, and just as they were about to speak to Xu Lin, he pushed them into the staircase and then cleaved his axe into the neck of a zombie that was lunging at him.
In just a few minutes, no fewer than seven zombies had died under this firefighter's axe.
