Chapter 18

"Here's the situation, and this is the situation. What do you think?"

After Li Fatzi and Alex returned to the hall, they informed everyone of the news they had received.

After a brief silence, Albe spoke first, "If we don't save those people, they might... tomorrow, or the day after."

"Just, we can barely take care of ourselves. How can we save them? Isn't this risk a bit too high?" Si Yao adjusted his glasses, somewhat worried.

"In fact, compared to those people who are under Aivard's house arrest, I'm more concerned about something else..." Li Fatzi glanced at the sky outside; the sun was setting, and it was about to get dark. "After it gets dark, if Riggs and his group haven't returned, Aivard will definitely be suspicious. He might send more people to check, which could be another opportunity to weaken their strength."

"There's another possibility: they might all come out, or most of them. In that case, there will be another fierce battle. So, why don't we directly ambush their base?"

Yan Zekun, who had been silent, shared his thoughts. In his view, the chances of winning a direct confrontation were not high, and even if they won, there would be casualties.

"I think this plan is good. By ambushing their base, we can easily save those people. And when they return, we can catch them off guard. But our KTV might suffer..."

Although Tony agreed with Yan Zekun's plan, he was also a bit concerned. After all, abandoning their base was not a wise move.

"I think we should move to the supermarket across the street..." Michelle, seeing everyone offering suggestions, also shared her idea. "We can continue to make the KTV look occupied to attract them. Then we can ambush them in the supermarket. If they really come tonight, we will have a significant advantage."

"Michelle is right. Everyone, pack up your things and let's go now." Li Fatzi stood up and started packing his things.

"What about Riggs? Should we take him?" Seeing everyone nod, Alex pointed to the toilet.

"Taking him is too dangerous. If he makes any noise at a critical moment, our plan will fail. Leave him here. I'll go ask him which nightclub he's from, and you guys start moving." Li Fatzi quickly packed his things and headed towards the toilet.

Except for Li Fatzi, who returned to the toilet, everyone else had prepared their things and was ready to move.

Li Fatzi and his group gained a lot from the battle with Riggs and his group. Besides valuable combat experience, they also obtained five machetes from the enemy. For Li Fatzi's group, who were always short of weapons, this was a significant boost in strength.

The sky gradually darkened, and the streetlights came on.

When Li Fatzi returned, everyone opened the KTV door and quickly moved to the small supermarket across the street.

Li Fatzi carried the bicycle lock with him. He couldn't lock the KTV from the outside, as that would expose their plan. He arranged the sofas at the KTV entrance, then took out the key he found on the manager and locked the main door. He bent down as if tying his shoelaces, then crossed the road last.

Li Fatzi looked up at the streetlights and couldn't help but think: How much longer will the water and electricity last?

The lights were not turned on, and everyone sat in a circle in the supermarket, continuing their discussion.

With the streetlights shining from outside, the supermarket was dark but still visible.

"We need to make a quick decision. If we're going to ambush their base, we should head to their nightclub as soon as possible, set up an ambush, and observe their movements." Tony found a towel and wiped the machete he had just obtained.

His mop had been sacrificed again, and Tony had upgraded to a machete.

Aivard's group was hiding in the Wonderland nightclub, which was not far from here. When the world was still normal, it took about 10 minutes to walk there.

Li Fatzi was still hesitant, mainly because he was reluctant to leave the KTV. Another reason was that Riggs was left in the KTV. If Aivard's group broke in, found no one, and rescued Riggs, the ambush at Wonderland would be meaningless.

Moreover, the enemy had guns, while they only had cold weapons, which was Li Fatzi's greatest concern.

"Let's vote. If more people support the ambush, I'll need to take Riggs out and move him. If more people support staying here, we'll rest early and prepare well."

Li Fatzi decided to follow the majority's opinion.

The final vote was 4 to 3. Li Fatzi, Si Yao, and Michelle supported the ambush at the small supermarket, while the others favored attacking the enemy's base.

"Even though Jones and Riggs have cleared the way to Wonderland twice, a lot can happen in an afternoon. It's dark now, and if we encounter an emergency... Plus, the route to the nightclub passes by the train station, which is definitely full of zombies! I think your decision is still too dangerous."

Although the decision had been made, Si Yao still expressed his concerns.

"Since the vote is in, there's no need to argue about right or wrong. In the world of zombies, even if you stay quiet, danger will find you."

Li Fatzi distributed the remaining four machetes to Albe, Si Yao, Michelle, and Yan Zekun.

"I have a tennis racket. You should take this machete; your hammer is too short."

"It's fine, you keep it." Li Fatzi forcibly handed the machete to Yan Zekun. There was no time for suspicion; they needed to get through the current crisis first.

A strong enemy would make their group more united.

Michelle also switched to a machete, giving her cleaver to Alex. Although Alex was a long-range shooter, he needed a close-combat weapon.

"Since the decision is made, discuss how to approach Wonderland and where to hide and observe. Si Yao, come with me. We'll take Riggs out and move him."

Li Fatzi and Si Yao returned to the KTV without attracting the attention of the surrounding zombies, and everything proceeded smoothly.

But fate was not on their side. A SUV with bright headlights drove up from a distance!

"Shit! The fatso and the others probably don't know they're coming so soon!" Tony scratched his head anxiously. What should they do now?
