"Everyone can probably guess what we're going to do next: we're going to rescue those people who are being held captive by Aivard. However..." Fat Li said, looking a bit worriedly towards the door.

Due to the gunfire just now, countless zombies had appeared from nowhere, filling the road.

The strong men who died during the day, along with Aivard, had all become their meals.

"With Arthur's addition and the two guns, the risk of our mission should be zero. However, these zombies are indeed a problem," Yan Zekun, who was usually silent, finally spoke up.

"Right, that's the situation. If we go to rescue them now, the zombies outside the door and the uncontrollable factors on the road will pose a risk. But if we wait until tomorrow, our risk will be smaller, but no one can guarantee the safety of those people. Someone might...," Fat Li paused, then continued, "Alright, let's decide by voting. Raise your hand if you support going to rescue them now."

Unexpectedly, all eight people raised their hands.

"Since everyone agrees to set out now, quickly change your weapons if you need to. The shovels and fire axes these people brought are very timely. We'll take the extra weapons in the car just in case."

Fat Li then instructed Tony, "Take this gun. By the way, have you ever used a gun before?"

Tony directly tossed the pistol to Fat Li.

"You keep it. Although I like this thing, I don't know anything about the safety or how to aim. Teach me when there's a chance, and since there aren't many bullets, you should use it first."

Fat Li nodded; in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it, the gun is no different from a time bomb.

Whether it accidentally injures someone or inadvertently attracts zombies, neither is something anyone wants to see.

Fat Li put the two pistols in his pocket, picked up a shovel, and retired the tool hammer.

However, Fat Li still planned to bring it. Although he didn't need it to kill, it was still a tool and might be useful in the future.

The group also gathered food and drinks from various parts of the supermarket, and they were ready in just a few minutes.

"Li, can I talk to you about something?" Arthur asked Fat Li with a serious face.

"Sure."

"One of the two people staying in Wonderland is my friend. He's the one who introduced me to Aivard's group. But please believe me, he's a good person and has never done anything bad."

Fat Li understood Arthur's meaning and readily agreed, "No problem. It's good that we're going to rescue those people. It's not easy to gain their trust. Having you explain Aivard's dirty deeds to them is perfect."

"You can rest assured. With his help, we won't need to fight again," Arthur nodded in response.

Everything was ready, and Fat Li climbed up to the second floor with various meats. The second floor of the supermarket was a small bedroom. Fat Li went to the window and threw the meat and his phone out.

The phone was used to attract the zombies, and the various meats would buy the team more time. The phone was one Fat Li had taken from the cash register, probably belonging to the supermarket owner.

Seeing the zombies successfully lured away, Fat Li hurriedly went downstairs to meet up. The two cars from Aivard's group conveniently solved their transportation problem.

Especially since they were two SUVs, which not only had more space but were also better at dealing with zombies compared to ordinary cars.

The group quickly loaded some living supplies, food, and weapons into the cars. According to Arthur, there wasn't much food in Wonderland, and the amount given to those people was even less.

Tony and Arthur were responsible for driving. When Fat Li left the supermarket, everything was almost ready, and they could set off at any time.

"Tony, what are you doing? Hurry up and get in the car!" Fat Li saw Tony not getting in the car but picking something up from the ground, and urged him.

Tony waved the object in his hand, looking puzzled, "Hey, fatso, isn't this my phone? How did it get here? It's out of battery? I remember it was fully charged. Could it be that you used my phone to lure the zombies?"

"A common Apple 5, how do you know it's yours?" Fat Li denied it outright.

"The case is exactly the same as mine, it's mine..."

Fat Li pushed Tony into the car, cutting off his complaints.

Fat Li looked back at the KTV and the small supermarket. This was where he had his first close encounter with the zombies. It was also where he met so many new friends and fought to the death with the bad guys. He wondered if he would ever have the chance to come back here again.

Of course, Fat Li had to admit that his small team's survival in the face of zombies and Aivard's group was largely due to luck.

He hoped this luck would continue to accompany him and his companions.

Thinking about this, Fat Li got into the SUV.

Let's go!

Since Arthur was more familiar with the road, he led the way.

Tony, Albe, Michelle, and Fat Li were in one car, closely following Arthur's car. Arthur was leading the way with Siyao, Yan Zekun, and Alex in the front.

There were still a lot of zombies near the KTV, probably due to the gunfire last night. Fortunately, the SUVs were powerful enough, and they didn't encounter any danger on the way.

After about a minute of driving, the number of zombies finally decreased. Arthur could finally speed up a bit. The night in the zombie world wasn't to be taken lightly, with some streetlights flickering, unsure how long they would last.

"Fat Li, what do you plan to do with the people in Wonderland?" Albe, sitting in the back of the SUV, asked Fat Li, who was in the passenger seat.

"Baby, I feel..." Tony thought he was being called and immediately turned around to speak.

"Tony, drive carefully, I wasn't asking you."

"Well... as you wish." Tony reluctantly turned back to continue driving.

"Actually, you should call me Brother Li to avoid confusion with Tony... well, do as you please..." Seeing Albe glaring at him, Fat Li had to get back to the topic.

"Right, the people in Wonderland... I'm not sure yet, but we'll see what everyone thinks. However, I feel that if they want to join us, we should accept them."

Albe nodded after hearing this. Although these people, after being deceived by Aivard's group, wouldn't easily trust others, they didn't have many other options.
