The footsteps grew heavier and heavier. Su Changxing estimated that there were about thirty zombies, which seemed not particularly many, but were actually difficult to deal with.
This is different from scattered zombies. The undead tide comes in swarms, relentless. One person might have to face attacks from several zombies at the same time; you can push away one zombie, but not necessarily two or three.
Screams came from afar to near, as several dark figures dashed through the corridor. Su Changxing faced them head-on and with one slash cut off the heads of two zombies, killing them.
The second slash hit two more zombies, but due to the angle, it only killed one. The other had a deep gash cut into its chest, breaking ribs along with it.
The two sides engaged in close combat, tearing into each other.
Su Changxing could only defend a small patch of ground. Screams echoed, and after one exchange, several people were either bitten or clawed.
