Chapter 45

"Looks like some bastard stole the manhole cover, so these zombies fell in one by one." Li Fatso looked at the distant zombies and whispered.

"Should we charge over, or climb up now?" Yan Zekun pointed at the manhole cover above and asked.

After vomiting, Wang Chan's complexion was slightly better than before. Hearing Yan Zekun's question, he hurriedly said, "We came down the sewer because it was safe. Now that it's like this, why should we stay in this stinky place?"

"Indeed, it's too dark in the sewer, and we don't know what's waiting for us ahead. Let's go up!" Li Fatso put his machete into his bag and quickly climbed up the ladder.

"This manhole cover is damn heavy."

Li Fatso pushed the manhole cover, but it didn't budge.

"Brother Li, hurry! They've spotted us!"

The zombies in the distance heard the noise and started walking toward Li Fatso and the others.

The movement speed of the zombies generally correlates with their hunger; the hungrier they are, the faster they move.

The zombies trapped in the sewer were undoubtedly very hungry.

The zombies almost started jogging. Seeing the situation turn bad, Li Fatso, without caring what was above, used all his strength to push the manhole cover.

Alex and Yan Zekun stood in front of the others to prevent any mishaps. Alex aimed and shot a few arrows, but due to the limited light, none hit the heads. Finally, the manhole cover loosened, and Li Fatso pushed it open, revealing half his head.

Fortunately! The place they emerged was a secluded side street, with all the shops' doors tightly closed, and only two or three zombies on the road.

Without Li Fatso blocking the manhole, the others quickly climbed out. Yan Zekun and Alex, who were covering the rear, were the last to climb up, but fortunately, they managed to escape without much trouble, leaving a group of zombies struggling inside.

The people who came out first had already dealt with the zombies on the road, but due to the noise, the surrounding zombies would likely gather soon.

"Too bad about those arrows. I won't be able to retrieve them." Alex sighed while helping Yan Zekun move the manhole cover.

If Alex ran out of arrows, his crossbow would eventually become useless.

The group resealed the manhole cover and cautiously surveyed the quiet surroundings.

"Chan, can you recognize where we are?"

"Sure, with me, you can rest assured. But we should try to get a car; the pharmacy is quite far from here." Wang Chan confirmed.

Li Fatso searched the pockets of a corpse, finding car keys, but unfortunately, the car wasn't nearby.

"We can only proceed on foot now. Let's hope we can find a car soon."

The group had to tread lightly and jog forward.

Exiting the alley, they arrived near a residential area.

"If we can escape from Wonderland in the future, moving here would be nice. I have a classmate who rents a place here; the environment is great." Si Yao pointed to the nearby residential area and said.

"Right, if the zombies outside Wonderland can't be dealt with, we can only escape through the sewers and find another place to live." Li Fatso nodded, thinking that if there weren't many zombies here, it could be a good campsite.

"Hey, look! A Jin Xing taxi!" Wang Chan, leading the group, spotted a taxi parked outside the residential area.

Jin Xing is the name of a taxi company, known in English as Gold-star. Of course, it has nothing to do with Teacher Jin Xing or Wang Zulan.

The group hurriedly ran up to the taxi. Having a car would greatly enhance their safety and speed.

"It seems someone called a taxi last night but didn't get in before they were done for." Wang Chan pointed to a young British man lying by the roadside.

His lower body was missing, probably eaten by other zombies. His upper body was exposed, with ribs showing and bloodied. His hands were still waving, and his mouth was opening and closing, making a groaning sound, clearly very hungry.

Li Fatso, unable to bear it, stepped forward and ended his life with a single strike.

"There's no one in the car." Wang Zongze looked inside the car and said.

Wang Chan tried to open the car door and found it opened directly. However, for some reason, the taxi beeped twice.

"Damn! What luck! It just opened! Heaven is helping us! Get in, get in!" Wang Chan quickly sat in the driver's seat and urged the others to get in.

The zombies in the residential area and the few on the road heard the noise and started moving toward the taxi.

The others didn't dare to linger. Li Fatso sat in the passenger seat, and the remaining four squeezed into the second row.

Sigh, overloaded.

"Quick! Go! They're coming!" Alex, looking out the window, urgently patted Wang Chan's seat.

"Um, sorry everyone, there's no key in the car, I can't start it..."

"..."

"Shit, don't just stand there! Get out of the car!" Li Fatso quickly pushed the car door open. Zombies were coming from all directions, but fortunately, there weren't many on the road. However, more and more zombies were emerging from the residential area!

Besides the fact that zombies move faster when they are hungry, Li Fatso and the others had discovered many other characteristics of the zombies. For example, the heads of the zombies aren't as hard as imagined; with enough force, they can generally be dealt with.

Also, even though humans turn into zombies, they remain social animals. They like to stay in groups and hunt for food. Furthermore, the low growls of the zombies, which might sound like foolish shouts to humans, are actually a language understood by other zombies.

For example, "I will tear you apart!"

The nearby zombies heard this and naturally gathered here.

"Run toward the road!"

Li Fatso led the charge, striking a zombie's head. The machete got stuck, so he kicked the zombie out.

Except for Wang Chan and Wang Zongze, the other three had fought zombies before and pulled out their weapons to engage.

Wang Chan and Wang Zongze, though scared stiff, had to follow. As for killing zombies, they couldn't do it just yet.

After killing a few zombies, they saw more figures on the distant road!

"Shit! So many!" Li Fatso quickly stopped.

"What do we do? We're done! We're done!"

Wang Chan's machete fell to the ground, and he looked like he was waiting to die.

"Brother Li, what do we do? We can't get through!" Si Yao, holding his machete, stood back-to-back with Li Fatso and said.

"Damn it! It must be because of the car noise!"

Li Fatso, looking back, saw that the zombies from the residential area had already reached the entrance, and zombies were coming from all directions on the road, leaving no way to escape!
