A moment later, this meager lunch quickly came to an end. Everyone gathered the trash together, preparing to throw it away later.
"Has Richard not returned yet?" Albe walked to the front hall and asked Wang Chan and Old Hong, who were standing guard there.
"Not yet. He's so skilled, there's no way anything will happen to him," Wang Chan replied with a relaxed expression.
"I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about us."
Albe walked to the door and looked outside, but there was no sign of Richard.
"What do we have to worry about?" Wang Chan asked, not understanding.
"I don't know, I just feel uneasy," Albe left the door and walked over to Old Hong, replying.
"Miss, don't worry. Although I'm old, I could take on ten hooligans on my own when I was young. With me here, you can rest assured!" Old Hong patted his chest, though it was unclear if he was serious.
At that moment, the little girl Ning Dongqing suddenly ran out of the hall and asked the three of them, "Did you hear something?"
"What did you hear?"
Before Albe could finish speaking, a "bang" came from the direction of the basement!
"This time I heard it clearly!" Wang Chan said, quickly picking up the shovel and running toward the basement. He had already heard the faint sound earlier, but Old Hong had called him paranoid, so he hadn't paid much attention.
This time, the sound was unmistakable, a very heavy thud. Old Hong hesitated for a moment but ultimately picked up the shovel and followed Wang Chan. There were only two men left in Wonderland, and he couldn't rely on the girls.
Although Albe and Ning Dongqing had no weapons, they also followed without hesitation.
"Shit! Zombies! The zombies are in here!" As soon as Wang Chan reached the basement, he saw the door open, which must have been the "bang" he heard earlier.
Three or four zombies had already climbed up, and Wang Chan quickly glanced inside the basement. Damn! A large group of zombies was scrambling up the ladder!
"Quick, alert the people in the hall! The zombies are in here!" Wang Chan turned and shouted to Albe and Ning Dongqing, who were running over.
"Got it!" Albe responded and hurriedly turned back to run.
"My God! Where did they come from!" Old Hong immediately hid behind Wang Chan, his legs trembling with fear.
"It's the basement! I didn't hear wrong earlier! They must have pushed open the pipe cover! They came in through the sewer!"
Wang Chan suddenly remembered the zombies they had encountered in the sewer with Li Fat yesterday. They hadn't taken the risk because they didn't know how many there were. He never expected that in just one day, these zombies would find their way to Wonderland!
The few zombies that had climbed up were emitting a foul odor, their tattered clothes dripping with unknown liquids, clearly from the sewer. After their long journey, the zombies, seeing food for the first time in a while, rushed madly at Wang Chan and Old Hong!
Wang Chan, who was not easily scared and had been through yesterday's ordeal, charged forward without a word. The shovel sliced through a zombie's head, knocking it to the ground, and Wang Chan quickly chopped it to death.
However, more and more zombies were climbing out of the basement, and Wang Chan alone couldn't handle them all.
"Chan! Hold on, I'll go get reinforcements from the hall! Don't let them into the front hall!"
Wang Chan didn't have time to respond to Old Hong because the second zombie was already in front of him! After saying this, Old Hong turned to run but was blocked by Ning Dongqing.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Ning Dongqing's unfriendly expression, Old Hong quickly asked.
Thinking that she was just a teenage girl, Old Hong didn't bother to deal with her and tried to escape.
"Nothing, just give me the shovel," Ning Dongqing extended her hand and said calmly.
Hong Taiping was taken aback by her words and felt a bit ashamed. A girl was willing to fight, but he was running away?
Whether it was a surge of manliness or a reminder of his daughter of a similar age, Old Hong decided not to run and to stay and fight!
"Are you giving this to me to die? You go get help, I'll handle it! I used to take on ten hooligans on my own!" As soon as he said this, Old Hong wanted to slap himself.
At his age, why was he still pretending to be tough? But the words were out, and seeing the cold light in Ning Dongqing's eyes, Old Hong could only grit his teeth and turn to help Wang Chan.
Just as Ning Dongqing blocked Hong Taiping, the third and fourth zombies also rushed up! Wang Chan couldn't handle three zombies at once and could only use the shovel to knock them to the ground!
"Damn it! Let you see the might of your Grandpa Chan!" This sounded very heroic, but after a few swings, Wang Chan was already panting from exhaustion.
Worse still, Wang Chan had no time to finish off the zombies he had knocked down. They didn't get up but crawled directly toward Wang Chan!
Seeing a zombie about to grab Wang Chan's pants, and with Wang Chan busy dealing with the new zombies, he couldn't spare a moment!
"Damn it, I'll give you a good whack!" Old Hong cursed and smashed the shovel into the zombie's head!
Ning Dongqing also quickly pulled Wang Chan back.
"Run! We can't hold them here, there are too many zombies!" Ning Dongqing said, pulling Wang Chan away.
"Two kids! Wait for me!" Old Hong also hurriedly shouldered the shovel and chased after them.
The zombies, with no one to stop them, began to surge into the front hall!
The three of them had just reached the front hall when they saw Albe and the others running out of the hall.
Michelle, being experienced, told Ya and Yuki to stay and take care of Tony, then picked up a machete and followed everyone to the front hall.
Although Li Fat's group had enough weapons, most of them had been taken on the outing. Despite the dozen or so people gathered in the front hall, only Wang Chan, Old Hong, Michelle, and Albe had weapons. The other girls had items that were almost useless.
Things like chair legs and mops, in the hands of these girls, were more for show than for use. In the blink of an eye, the zombies had rushed out of the passage! The four people with weapons could only stand their ground!
