Alanna quickly shouted, "Watch out, Waldo!"
Waldo was standing at the front and didn't see the attack from behind. It wasn't that he was distracted, but rather the black shadow launched a surprise attack from his blind spot.
Alanna and Helen saw it first but couldn't intervene in time. They couldn't reach Waldo in time.
However, Waldo reacted swiftly upon hearing the shout. Instead of turning back instinctively, he immediately rolled to the side to evade the potential danger. He knew the threat must be coming from behind or the side, as he could see that the front was clear.
Alanna and Helen drew their weapons and prepared to counterattack. They couldn't clearly see what the black entity was, but they could see the direction it came from. It was a zombie, but something seemed different. This one seemed to be a mutated or infected survivor, retaining some combat instincts and even using a weapon.
