The zombie in front of them looked exactly like the one Buddy Crow had described.
"That's him!"
Shrimpy caught on instantly. He snatched up a chunk of broken rock from the ground and hurled it straight at Big Chompers.
But the so-called Zombie King was surprisingly nimble. He ducked just in time, and the rock whizzed right over his head.
"Damn, he's fast!" Shrimpy muttered, realizing this guy might actually be a challenge—dodging his signature brick-to-the-face move wasn't something just anyone could do.
Big Chompers was just as stunned. He'd been happily digging away, minding his own business, when suddenly four zombies showed up and tried to bash his skull in.
He could tell these zombies weren't your average shamblers—they looked tough. Real tough. Without a second thought, he spun around and bolted.
"Don't even think about running!" Big Ears shouted, diving headfirst into the tunnel after him.
Shrimpy and the other three zombies followed close behind.
