From the hallway outside came the chaotic sound of footsteps. Takeshi immediately led his team out.
He stood firm in the center of the corridor, gripping his katana with one hand. A cold gleam flashed across the blade.
"Mr. Takeshi! Help us!" Two Awakeners shouted desperately, their faces pale with terror as they sprinted toward him.
Behind them, a massive horde of zombies filled the entire hallway. Due to the narrow space, they stumbled over each other, trampling and piling up like a flood bursting through a dam.
The scene was absolutely terrifying.
The zombies' blood-smeared faces twisted in rage, their savage roars echoing louder and louder.
The human Awakeners stood their ground, eyes sharp and focused.
"Ice Wall!" someone shouted. Instantly, freezing energy surged forward, forming a thick wall of ice that sealed off the corridor, attempting to halt the zombies' advance.
But there were simply too many zombies, and their strength was overwhelming.
