Maya made a split-second decision, and she and Lin Wu, despite the risk of injury, dashed out of the vacation cottage and climbed up to a five-meter-high treehouse to temporarily take cover. This height was rather awkward, as five meters was within the zombies' awareness range and they couldn't hide their tracks by stealth or similar means. In a short while, a dense crowd of zombies gathered below the tree roots.
There was only one way: to keep climbing up the tree. After reaching a height of ten meters, the two entered stealth mode. After maintaining stealth for 10 seconds, the zombies lost track of the humans and their agitated emotions gradually stabilized. As they roamed about, the zombies slowly dispersed.
But the crisis was far from over. The resort was located in a small hollow of a hill, and due to the terrain, the zombies didn't stray too far away. Or to put it another way, in the short term, the density of zombies in the resort was set to exceed that of the county town.
