Time quickly passed to 6:30, with only half an hour left before the gacha machine disappeared. The sixty or so zombies in the hall were still wandering around.

Lin Ran looked at Yang Jing and reminded her, "In half an hour, these zombies will lose control. You can follow us and rush out together."

Yang Jing was stunned for a moment but eventually believed what Lin Ran said. After all, Lin Ran was very familiar with that machine and the monsters outside. Yang Jing quickly accepted Lin Ran's kind offer. "Okay, thank you."

"No need to thank me, you helped us earlier, so we're just returning the favor."

As time passed, it soon reached 7 o'clock. At that moment, the gacha machine that was originally there disappeared, and at the same time, the zombies, seeing living people, charged towards Lin Ran and the others.

Because Lin Ran had already killed a batch of zombies earlier, there were only about sixty zombies left in the hall. Lin Ran charged towards the zombies rushing at her. Her Tang sword made a strange arc in the air, and the two zombies in front of her were decapitated.

With a twist of her blade, Lin Ran's sword sliced through the neck of a zombie rushing towards Mo Shuyu, its head falling to the ground.

Previously, Lin Ran struggled to fend off zombies coming at her from all directions, but now, dealing with these zombies was like cutting through vegetables.

As she slashed at zombies, she kicked away those coming from other directions. Mo Shuyu and Yang Jing were able to fend off a few behind her.

However, Yang Jing's former companions were not as lucky. Xie Dong and Jiang Jun didn't believe Lin Ran when she said the zombies would lose control, so they hadn't prepared. Now, they were being surrounded by zombies, with Xie Dong already grabbed by two of them.

Seeing Yang Jing with Lin Ran, he shouted, "Yang Jing, help! Save me!"

With a piercing scream, Xie Dong was pinned to the ground by several zombies, who began feasting on his flesh. Jiang Jun, seeing Xie Dong's fate, blacked out and almost collapsed. Soon, he too was bitten by zombies, his screams dying away as he lost all life.

Zhang Xiao and Wang Lisheng were smarter. Seeing how fierce Lin Ran was, they hid behind Yang Jing and the others, avoiding zombie attacks.

Lin Ran continued to charge at the zombies in front. None could escape her Tang sword. She killed several more as the zombie heads piled up around her. Eventually, only a few zombies were left alive in the hall.

After finishing off the zombies attacking her, the hall finally quieted down. Lin Ran was exhausted. She had killed hundreds of zombies today, consuming a lot of her energy.

Lin Ran looked at Mo Shuyu behind her. "Let's find a place to rest."

"Okay," Mo Shuyu nodded.

"How about the small conference room over there? It's close to the fire escape, so if anything happens, we can quickly move to other floors," Yang Jing suggested, standing beside them.

Lin Ran nodded. "Alright."

Yang Jing quickly led the way, and soon they entered the small conference room.

The offices and conference rooms on this floor were mostly partitioned by glass, with frosted glass on the lower part and clear glass on the upper part.

Inside the conference room, Yang Jing locked the door from the inside to make it safer.

Lin Ran and Mo Shuyu sat on the floor to rest, Lin Ran placing her Tang sword beside her. She had killed most of the zombies, and now she was very tired.
