If they're coming out of places you already checked and they shouldn't have logically been able to hide in without you seeing them, it's Offscreen Teleportation.

We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza
So, you walk near a suspicious place, you are afraid you might get ambushed, so you checked everywhere, in the near by bush, on the tree, back of the house, and around the fence, after you've checked every places you are finally ready to enter through the suspiciously narrow entrance, and before you enter you even looked behind you twice just to be sure.
But all that was for nothing, because as soon as you walk through that door, you got bashed on the back of your head, and as you struggle to get back on your feet, you see people starting to jump out of all the places you've checked mere moments ago.
