The raging zombie fell to the ground with a thud.
The last rays of the setting sun bathed the ruins of our home in a golden hue.
I was chewing on a lollipop I had found somewhere, inspecting the "outstanding" work of our group of "elites."
What we called work felt more like playing house.
Zhong Dali had picked up a piece of scrap metal from who knows where and insisted on wearing it on his chest, declaring himself the "Captain of the Ruins Home Security Team." He wielded a wooden stick like a baton, seriously practicing with an imaginary squad.
He marched in place, saluted, and muttered to himself, "One two one, one two one, left face... wait? No, right face... ah forget it, let's just look forward!"
I struggled to suppress my laughter as I walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Dali, don’t you think your drill is a bit... abstract?"
"Abstract? This is called performance art, do you understand?" Dali replied earnestly. "It's about boosting team morale and uniting our strength!"
I nearly choked on my lollipop. Morale? Strength? With this?
Just then, the usually quiet mysterious girl spoke up, "Weina, it seems... there’s some noise outside."
A chill ran down my spine, and I almost dropped my lollipop.
Noise? What kind of noise?
Could it be... zombies?
Or something even worse?
I quickly signaled everyone to be on guard, and the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
I cleared my throat and said in an exaggerated tone, "Brother, you truly have a keen eye! We are none other than the renowned... Security Team of the Ruins House!"
As I spoke, I puffed out my chest and struck a pose that exuded authority.
Dali chimed in, "That's right! I'm the team leader! And this is... the deputy leader!"
He pointed at me, and I nearly burst out laughing.
Deputy leader? This guy really knows how to embellish his role.
The burly man was clearly taken aback by our ridiculous antics. He paused for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter. "A security team? With just you few? What do you think you can protect? This is hilarious!"
His subordinates joined in, laughing uproariously as if they had heard the funniest joke ever.
I stifled my laughter and continued, "Brother, please don't underestimate us. Although we are few in number, each one of us is an elite! Our team leader... is even... invincible!"
As I said this, I patted Dali on the shoulder. He puffed out his chest, looking proud.
The burly man laughed even harder. "Invincible? More like foolishly naive!"
I felt a surge of delight; the bait had been taken.
"Brother, saying that hurts...," I feigned a sense of grievance. "Our team leader is just... trying to protect everyone..."
I pretended to choke up, which only made the burly man more pleased with himself.
He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, enough of that. I see right through your little tricks! Now tell me, who exactly are you?"
I sighed and replied, "Well then, since you insist, I won't hide it any longer."
I deliberately paused for a moment before saying, "Actually... we... are... here... to seek refuge... with you!"
The burly man was taken aback, clearly not expecting me to say that.
He looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Seek refuge with us? What... qualifications do you have?"
I quickly replied, "Brother, you may not know this, but we... possess extraordinary skills!"
With that, I gave a knowing glance to Dali, who immediately understood and began to showcase his "special skill."
He picked up a wooden stick and swung it around vigorously, shouting, "Watch my... Invincible Fire Wheel!"
However, the stick slipped from his grip and flew out, striking the burly man right on the head.
The burly man instantly erupted in fury, "You... you... are asking for death!"
Boom!
An explosion rang out as a hole was blown open in the base's wall, and zombies roared as they surged in.
