Li Fatzi pushed hard, but the car door didn’t budge.

The zombies continued to smash the taxi, so Li Fatzi had to turn his body and kick the door with both feet.

After several kicks, Li Fatzi suddenly exerted all his strength, and the car door finally opened a small gap.

Li Fatzi quickly threw the tissue box through the gap, and before the zombies could react, he hurriedly locked the door again.

The music from the phone attracted some of the zombies, and although the taxi was still under attack, the intensity was clearly not as strong as before.

This would at least buy them a few more minutes. I hope you can arrive in time, Harlow. Li Fatzi calmed his nervousness and thought to himself.

"Ah Can, Xiao Xianggang, I'm really sorry to both of you for dragging you into this danger."

Li Fatzi apologized to the two men behind him.

"It's okay, Brother Li. I believe we will survive this." Wang Zongze patted Li Fatzi's shoulder and replied.

"Exactly, if we die, we'll just be heroes again in eighteen years! There's nothing to be afraid of!" Wang Can slapped his thigh and said excitedly. It seemed he was so scared that he had become more relaxed.

"Shh, listen."

As they were talking, Yan Zedun suddenly signaled everyone to be quiet. Instantly, only the sounds of the zombies' shouts and pounding remained.

Everyone focused and listened intently.

"Is that Canon?" Si Yao scratched his head and looked out the window.

With some of the zombies attracted by the music, they could barely see through the gaps between the zombies.

They heard the music of Canon getting closer, and then the sound of a sudden brake.

Another orange taxi had stopped nearby, and the zombies had stopped pounding on the windows and turned to look.

"Hey! You dumb zombies, come chase me, come chase me!" Then they heard someone hitting the car door, it must be Harlow.

All the zombies' attention was drawn to Harlow, and Li Fatzi and his group were free again! The zombies had dispersed!

Then they heard the sound of the car starting again, and the music of Canon gradually faded away.

Seeing that only a few stray zombies remained around the car, Li Fatzi held the machete in his hand and pushed the door open, jumping out.

"Run! Run fast!"

Li Fatzi led everyone in the opposite direction of the taxi, and since most of the nearby zombies had been attracted by Harlow, they didn't have to worry about safety along the way.

Li Fatzi kept looking back as he ran, and the orange taxi gradually disappeared in the distance.

Wang Can led the way, and in a short while, Li Fatzi and the others had run down two streets. Li Fatzi, panting heavily, kicked open the door of a real estate agency. They quickly hid inside and moved chairs and tables to block the door.

"Everyone, rest for a bit. We'll continue in ten minutes."

Li Fatzi sat against the wall and drank water.

"Right, Harlow is driving, so he should arrive before us. I don't think he has dealt with zombies before, so it's better for us to get there as soon as possible." Si Yao sat on a computer chair and panted.

Li Fatzi patted Wang Can, who was lying on the ground, and asked, "Ah Can, how far is it to the pharmacy?"

"About three or four streets. I think we should give up on the car. If something else goes wrong, we might not be so lucky again."

Hearing Wang Can's answer, Li Fatzi nodded and took out two Snickers bars from his backpack, eating them quickly.

"As the old saying goes, those who survive great disasters will surely have good fortune. I think everything will go smoothly from now on." Si Yao also drank some mineral water.

I hope it really goes as Si Yao said, everyone thought.

After resting for a while, Li Fatzi and the others began to search the entire real estate agency, stuffing anything they might need into their backpacks.

Li Fatzi gently pushed the door open, stuck his head out, and looked around. Seeing that the road was clear, he called everyone to start moving. Wang Can and Yan Zedun led the way, and Li Fatzi and the others followed behind.

They encountered few zombies along the way, and it was unclear where they had gone. They also met a few survivors, but everyone was wary of each other and passed by without incident.

After a short run, they arrived at Baker Street.

"There it is!" Wang Can pointed to a blue sign not far away.

They quickened their pace and ran over. Li Fatzi noticed that there was no orange taxi around, hoping nothing had happened to Harlow.

"It looks like someone got here before us." Si Yao pointed to the pharmacy door.

The glass door of the pharmacy had been smashed, indicating that someone had already been there. It was unclear if it was the people they had encountered earlier.

"Please, please! Don't let someone have cleared everything out."

They all crouched and entered the pharmacy, and fortunately, all the shelves were still full of medicine.

"Everyone, don't let your guard down. Check the pharmacy first; there might be zombies hiding somewhere. Be careful." Li Fatzi warned everyone cautiously.

Although someone had been there, it didn't mean it was safe. Many people had died due to carelessness, and Li Fatzi didn't want to be one of them.

They immediately searched the area and found only a few zombie corpses, with no other living things.

They gathered at the bathroom door, machetes in hand, ready to check the last place.

Li Fatzi yanked the bathroom door open, but it was empty.

"Earlier, I saw several restaurants across the street. This solves our food problem." Si Yao pointed across the street.

Since the pharmacy was safe, everyone relaxed.

"Let's save time. Leave two people to gather the medicine, Alex and Si Yao. Alex is more familiar with these Western medicines. The rest of us will go clear out the restaurants across the street and try to bring back as much food as possible. There are still over a dozen people waiting for us to eat." The longer they stayed outside, the more dangerous it was, so Li Fatzi decided to split up and return to Wonderland as soon as possible.

Everyone nodded at Li Fatzi's words. Si Yao and Alex quickly started sweeping the shelves, while the other four ran to the door.

"By the way, don't take all the medicine. Leave some for those who need it!" Li Fatzi shouted back to Si Yao as he ran.

At that moment, the sound of a sudden brake came from outside. An orange taxi stopped in front of the pharmacy, and a black man got out.

"Hey, I think you're the ones who were trapped in the car earlier?" Harlow greeted Li Fatzi and the others with a very rough voice, which was different from the desperate voice they had heard in the taxi.

Before Li Fatzi and the others could answer, Harlow pointed to the street corner they had just passed and asked, "Was that person with you?"

Li Fatzi and the others looked in the direction Harlow pointed and saw a figure quickly turn the corner and disappear.

"Are you being followed? No offense, but that person looks like someone from the Middle East." Harlow continued.

"Mike!?"

Li Fatzi shouted, but no one responded.
