Chapter 19

"We need to find a way to warn Fat Li!" Albe said worriedly, looking at the KTV.

Since they were about to come out, Fat Li and his companion never expected Aivard and his gang to arrive so coincidentally. Therefore, the KTV was not locked, and the sofa had been moved away.

The entire KTV seemed to be saying: "Fat Li, I'm right here, come and get me..."

"There's no way to warn them. If we make a commotion, the situation will get even worse," Yan Zekun said, holding a machete in one hand and a tennis racket in the other, addressing the others.

"Hmm... Since we initially planned to ambush here, let's go along with it. We'll wait and see. If Fat Li and the others are in danger, we'll step in," Tony said calmly.

The SUV quickly arrived at the KTV entrance, and five people got out. A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed very casually, seemed to be the leader. He wore beach shorts and a floral shirt, and even had a pair of sunglasses on at night. This person was likely Aivard. The other four were tall, muscular men, about 1.8 meters tall, holding weapons like fire axes and shovels.

The middle-aged man held a handgun, but it was too dark to see the model. He gestured for everyone to remain silent.

At this moment, Tony and the others were also crouched at the entrance of the small supermarket, watching without daring to breathe.

Suddenly, there was movement inside the KTV. Fat Li and Siyao carried Riggs, who was tied up like a mummy, out of the bathroom and headed toward the door.

Riggs, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, seemed to fear for his life and began to struggle desperately. Because his mouth was gagged, all his words turned into muffled sounds.

Aivard and his gang clearly heard the commotion. The middle-aged man gestured, and the group quietly approached the KTV, hiding behind the wall next to the door.

"Damn! Fat Li and the others don't know what's happening outside. We can't wait any longer!" Albe said worriedly, gripping his machete and preparing to stand up to warn Fat Li.

If Fat Li and the others appeared in front of Aivard like this, they would surely be riddled with bullets.

Yan Zekun grabbed Albe and said urgently, "Don't be impulsive. They have guns. You're just asking for death! If we go out now, we'll only be sending ourselves to our deaths!"

After saying that, Yan Zekun looked at Alex urgently.

"Alex, shoot an arrow at the KTV, quickly! We'll hide and try to lure them into the supermarket. We'll use the supermarket's layout to fight them!" Yan Zekun said, then crouched and moved deeper into the supermarket.

Although he was very worried about Fat Li and Siyao's safety, Yan Zekun was right. Pulled by Michelle, Albe also ran deeper into the small supermarket.

Alex gently opened the door of the small supermarket, extended his crossbow, and fired an arrow without aiming. He then quickly hid with Tony.

Fat Li and Siyao were carrying Riggs, who was indeed very strong. The boy kept struggling, and it took them two breaks to carry him to the KTV entrance.

Just as they were about to go out, an arrow shattered the glass of the door and embedded itself in the KTV wall!

Fat Li and Siyao were stunned for a moment, then they reacted!

This was bad!

The two quickly dropped Riggs!

"Siya, run! Upstairs!" Fat Li rushed toward the stairs.

Siyao hesitated for a moment, looked at Riggs, whose eyes were full of hope for rescue, and slashed his neck with a knife!

"Ugh... Ugh..."

"I'm sorry..."

Blood splattered Siyao's face...

In the zombie world, sooner or later, everyone had to learn to protect themselves and their companions.

Aivard and his gang were also surprised to find that there were people ambushing in the opposite supermarket. They fled to the SUV in fear.

Continuing to ambush at the KTV entrance would be foolish!

After all, they didn't know the number of people or their weapons, so safety was the top priority.

Seeing no further action from the supermarket and no sound from the KTV, Aivard was at a loss.

"Boss, what do we do? Should we deal with the bastards in the supermarket or the KTV?" a red-haired, muscular man asked Aivard.

"Damn! It looks like Aivard and the others were taken care of by these people," another muscular man said to Aivard.

Although they were prepared, Aivard didn't expect the other side to be so well-prepared.

They even knew to use a pincer formation, which was quite strategic!

Aivard didn't expect that Fat Li and the others, by chance, split into two groups, making Aivard and his gang think it was a prearranged plan.

"Boss, it seems they were waiting for us. Should we retreat and wait until daylight?" another man, thinking about how Aivard's team was wiped out, was clearly scared.

"Retreat my ass! With such a group always around us, can you sleep at night?" Aivard, feeling frustrated, slapped the man.

"Boss is right. How can we let others snore next to our bed? Arthur, you're really a coward!" The others flattered Aivard while also stepping on the man who had been slapped.

Arthur, the youngest in Aivard's gang, was not yet thirty. Before the world changed, he had joined Aivard's security company through a friend, just to earn a living.

After joining the company, being a rookie, he was bullied by everyone. Just when Arthur was planning to quit, the world changed.

Arthur's eyes burned with anger, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Aivard had a gun, and he couldn't match him. Following him gave him a better chance of survival. If not, Arthur would have found a way to escape long ago.

"Damn, Arthur, you coward, you stay and guard the entrance!" Aivard pointed at the supermarket. "The arrow came from this supermarket. Since they have ranged weapons, we'll deal with them first! Arthur, you guard the entrance. If anyone comes out from the KTV, you must hold them off, even if it means dying! Understand?"

Initially, the others were puzzled by Aivard's arrangement. They thought Arthur, the coward, should be sent to the front as cannon fodder, but why was he left to guard the rear, the safest position?

It turned out Aivard wasn't stupid. With enemies on both sides, the person left to guard the rear would face greater risks.

"Let's go, kill these pests. This is our kingdom's first battle. Afterward, the entire Norwich city center will be ours. I'll be the king, and I'll grant you all titles, ha ha."

With that, Aivard led his men to the supermarket entrance.

He kicked open the supermarket door, and it was pitch black inside, with nothing visible. Under the flashlight's beam, they found the light switch but couldn't turn on the lights.

"Boss, it looks like they turned off the power. These people are quite strategic..."

"Hehe, the more strategic they are, the more we need to eliminate them. Otherwise, how can I be a secure king? Everyone, take out your flashlights, and we'll move forward back-to-back."

Four people left Arthur behind, forming a circle and moving forward, backs against each other. They didn't know where the enemy was, so they had to trust their companions to cover their backs.

Of course, Aivard was at the rear.

What kind of king leads from the front?

Arthur was left at the entrance, vigilantly watching the opposite KTV, gripping his shovel tighter.
