Chapter 71

Although Old Hong had already run away, Wang Chan was still furiously beating the zombies, as if possessed. Ning Dongqing quickly pulled Wang Chan and dragged him to chase after Old Hong.

The two groups of zombies behind them merged, making the zombie horde even larger! The horde had been attracting zombies from all directions, making it much more exaggerated than when it started.

After all, the disaster happened around midnight, and there were few people in the residential areas near the city center. Most of the zombies were trapped in their homes. The horde attracted these zombies, who tried every means to join them, until they reached their current size!

Although the zombies were slow, they had the advantage of not tiring. They were now crazily chasing after Old Hong and the others, who were running out of energy.

"Stop the car, they're coming! Wait for them!" Albe saw Ning Dongqing and the others approaching and urgently told Richard.

Richard hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to put his foot on the brake, he saw zombies at the intersection ahead! Dozens of zombies had blocked the road, and more were coming!

This was definitely the effect of the horde, searching for their kind! These zombies might have been the ones lured away by the flare, now returning to the area.

How could Richard stop and wait for them? Without hesitation, he switched to the gas pedal, the car directly crashed through several zombies, and sped through the intersection!

No one in the car had their seatbelts on, and they were all jolted around. The car's windshield was smeared with blood and flesh, and a spider web of cracks appeared, greatly reducing visibility. Richard ignored this and continued driving by feel, heading straight for the train station!

Even though he knew the train station was also dangerous, compared to the horde behind them, it wasn't really dangerous at all.

"Damn it! There are these things in front too!" Old Hong looked at the zombies surrounding them from the front and cursed in despair.

The gap that Richard had created was quickly filled by other zombies. They didn't chase after Richard but attacked Old Hong and the others.

The British girl hesitated for a moment and then darted into a small alley. The wire gate of the alley was unlocked, and it was unknown where it led.

"What are you waiting for? Follow her!" Wang Chan and Ning Dongqing ran past Old Hong and also entered the alley.

Even if it was a path of knives and fire, they had to take the risk!

"Damn it! I knew this place, Wonderland, had bad feng shui from the start! It's not a paradise, it's cursing us to death!" Old Hong cursed as he hurried to catch up with Wang Chan and the others.

"Captain Milsap, this estate is very quiet, there should be no zombies."

The AH-64 attack helicopter hovered above a large estate. Alsatius observed the situation inside the estate with binoculars. The estate was not only very large but also very historic, likely at least a few hundred years old. Inside the estate were two modern villas, a small artificial lake, a nearby horse stable, a swimming pool, a golf course, and a large vineyard.

It was a very traditional British aristocratic estate.

"It seems Duke Garter has already cleared his estate, saving us a lot of time. Pilot, land!"

Following Milsap's order, the helicopter slowly landed in the estate's courtyard. People inside the villa heard the noise and many armed police officers immediately ran out!

These police officers were all in a combat-ready state, and behind them, many women and children could be seen in the villa.

"Who are you!?" A middle-aged man, who looked like a police chief, shouted at the four or five people who got off the helicopter.

"I believe you are Chief Pierre." Milsap gestured for Alsatius and the others to put away their weapons.

Seeing that the leader was in military uniform and had a high rank, the middle-aged man also gestured for the other police officers to put away their weapons.

"Who are you?"

"I am Milsap, a Second Lieutenant."

"Hello, I am Pierre, the Chief of the Norwich Police Department. May I ask what brings you here?" Upon hearing that the other party was a lieutenant, Pierre no longer dared to underestimate them and asked politely again.

"We are here to pick up Duke Garter." Lieutenant Milsap stated his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Pierre did not hesitate and immediately sent a police officer back to the villa to fetch Duke Garter. Soon, a middle-aged man with a large belly came out of the villa.

Duke Garter was already quite old, with hair as bald as all the British. He was very tall, so he didn't look fat. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and exuded an aura of authority.

"Is it the Queen who sent you to pick me up?" Duke Garter didn't look at Milsap but examined the attack helicopter.

Milsap, of course, did not find Duke Garter's arrogance unreasonable. There were only about twenty people in the entire UK with this title, the nobility of the nobility. Except for Her Majesty the Queen, he indeed didn't need to consider anyone else's face.

"Yes, Duke." Milsap replied respectfully.

"Then let's go. Pierre, go fetch my daughter." Duke Garter nodded and turned to instruct Pierre.

Chief Pierre quickly responded and sent a few police officers back into the villa.

It must be said that although Duke Garter was very arrogant, he was also very intelligent. When the disaster occurred, Duke Garter immediately notified the police to send people over. Since it was Duke Garter's request, all the surviving police officers hurriedly returned to the police station and then rushed to Duke Garter's estate.

Of course, there were also many zombies in the police station at the time. Pierre quickly suppressed the police station. After carrying almost all the weapons and ammunition, Pierre and the police officers brought their surviving relatives to the estate.

Duke Garter knew that in this new world, it would be difficult to control these police officers for a long time, so he wisely allowed them to bring their families to the estate. These police officers, for the sake of their loved ones, would naturally fight to protect the estate, allowing Duke Garter to continue living comfortably.

Most of the women and children in the villa, except for a few servants, were the families of these police officers. Therefore, Duke Garter was able to survive safely for four days after the disaster.

In these few days, Duke Garter had also contacted the Queen via radio. It must be said that the Queen was truly resilient. While many leaders around the world had died, the Queen, who had been on the throne for sixty-three years, had survived again.

The Queen sending someone to pick him up was something he absolutely had to do. Even if his estate was safe, it couldn't compare to the Queen's Buckingham Palace. Moreover, if a cure for the virus was found, it would certainly be sent to Buckingham Palace first. For his daughter, he had to go!

Of course, this Queen was not Albe, but the real Queen, the Queen of the United Kingdom.
