In the apocalypse, my weapons can evolve infinitely.

Time is slowly being consumed, bit by bit.

Jiang Xun ignored the increasing roars and biting sounds from the outside world.

He stood firmly against the door, waiting quietly.

Time passed, and finally the system notification sounded again.

[Ding, congratulations host for completing the system task: Zombie kills: 3/3]

[System Rewards: Weapon Upgrade *1, Storage Space Upgrade *1]

[Storage space upgrade in progress.......]

Storage space upgrade complete. Current storage space: 10m³

[Weapon Upgrade Reward: The host can choose the upgrade parts for their chosen weapon.]

After the notification sound ended, the original system text moved aside.

Jiang Xun's gaze shifted to his own primary field of vision.

What? Upgrading your main weapon requires accessories?

His gaze unconsciously drifted to his right hand.

[The tool hammer can be used to upgrade your main weapon. After upgrading, the weapon's strength will be greatly increased, its weight will increase, and it will have a certain amount of hammering effect.]

Is that okay?

So this so-called upgrade accessory actually provides a bonus effect to your main weapon. If that's the case...

When Jiang Xun learned about the effects of the upgraded parts, he hesitated.

Although the hammer in his hand could upgrade his signature weapon, he knew his signature weapon too well; it had absolutely no offensive power.

So even if you upgrade using a hammer, the result is just that your main weapon can smash people, which is a huge waste.

So he didn't upgrade directly with a hammer.

What should I look for?

Jiang Xun slowly got up and began to scan the room.

He found the second bedroom from the master bedroom, and then found the kitchen from the second bedroom.

Most of the items did not meet the upgrade requirements, and those that did meet the requirements were mostly melee items, which Jiang Xun also rejected.

So, after searching for a long time,

He finally found two upgrade parts that best suited his needs.

The first item was a dashcam he had previously bought for his car, and the second item was a high-pressure air pump he found in the hallway outside his house to inflate his bicycle tires.

Both of these items meet the system's upgrade requirements.

Looking at these two accessories, Jiang Xun could roughly guess the effects they would add to the weapon after upgrading.

One should be used for long-range reconnaissance, and the other for long-range kills.

Both effects are what Jiang Xun currently needs.

After much deliberation, he put the dashcam into his storage space and then chose to upgrade his personal weapon with a "high-pressure air pump".

[The host has selected upgrade parts for their preferred weapon. Upgrading the preferred weapon will take 6 hours.]

[My signature weapon is being upgraded...]

As the system notification sounded again, Jiang Xun felt his natal weapon return to the system.

In just six hours, he will be able to see his brand new signature weapon.

Really been waiting.

Jiang Xun was standing in the living room, but he felt his vision growing darker and his mind becoming increasingly foggy.

Due to prolonged malnutrition and recent high-intensity combat,

Now that the adrenaline has subsided, his mental state has already reached its limit.

No, he needs to rest immediately.

Jiang Xun staggered to his feet and returned to the master bedroom. Ignoring everything else, he went straight to the bed and collapsed onto it.

........

The sounds of Jiang Xun fighting the zombies not only attracted more monsters, but also drew the attention of many neighbors on the same floor.

Among them was Aunt Zhao from before.

"Old man, how's it going outside?"

At this moment, Aunt Zhao was lying on the back of another elderly man, pressing her face against the peephole to try and see what was happening outside.

"Damn it, that little brat, I don't know what got into him, attracting so many monsters. Now these monsters are gnawing on us in the corridor, there's no chance of getting out now."

The elderly man was cursing and swearing as he slowly left the room, walking toward the living room with a sinister look on his face.

This is Tang Guoliang, Jiang Xun's neighbor.

The woman who had come to his door asking for grain was his wife, Zhao Baozhu.

They are a family of four. Besides the elderly couple, their son Tang Zhen and their daughter-in-law Yang Xiaoai are also in the house.

The family of four had four mouths to feed, and their food supplies were already running out.

These days, they've been barely surviving by grinding leftover meat and bones from the previous days into powder, mixing it with oil, salt, and other ingredients to make soup.

Tang Guoliang had long been eyeing Jiang Xun's house next door. After all, Jiang Xun's household on this floor consisted of only one person, so their ability to resist and their consumption of resources should be the lowest.

So they had long ago decided to seize the other's house.

But to their surprise, that guy suddenly went berserk and forcibly killed three zombies, causing their original plan to fall through once again.

Back in the inner room, looking at his son Tang Zhen's expectant eyes, Tang Guoliang shook his head helplessly.

"Damn it, is that kid crazy? Why did he have to mess with that thing?"

As he spoke, he raised the water glass in his hand and threw it directly on the ground.

With a crash, the ceramic water cup shattered.

The crisp sound traveled directly outside through the crack in the door.

Upon hearing the noise, the zombies that were feeding on corpses outside lunged at Tang Guoliang's door, thrashing and howling as they went.

This sudden turn of events startled everyone in the room, especially Yang Xiaoai.

As a woman, she felt insecure in the apocalypse, and this sudden attack made her scream in terror.

This drove the zombies outside even crazier.

"Bang bang bang!" "Slap slap slap!" "Roar roar roar!"

The continuous sounds terrified everyone inside. They were truly afraid that the zombies outside would break through the security door at any moment and come straight in to devour everyone in the house.

However, since it was just a few noises, the zombies' attention was quickly drawn back to the corpses, compared to the flesh and blood right next to them.

After waiting for a long time, everyone finally breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing no sound from the door.

However, after Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, his previously fearful face suddenly turned into extreme anger.

He suddenly turned around and grabbed Yang Xiaoai's mouth.

Under the other person's terrified gaze, he lowered his voice and said coldly:

"You're the jinx! Are you trying to kill me?"

At this moment, Tang Zhen had no idea that he had initially attracted the zombies' attention because of his own actions; instead, he placed all the blame on Yang Xiaoai.

Then, amidst Yang Xiaoai's painful, fearful, and desperate struggles, she was slowly dragged into the master bedroom by the incredibly tall Tang Zhen, and the door was closed.

Then came her piercing screams and the sounds of beatings coming from under the door.

The house is well soundproofed; the sound can only reach the living room and cannot travel any further outside.

Meanwhile, Tang Guoliang and Zhao Baozhu, who were outside the house, exchanged a glance upon seeing this.

Their son was becoming increasingly irritable, and they weren't sure how long this situation could last. If the food problem remained unresolved, their beautiful daughter-in-law, whom they had spent 30 yuan to bring back from the village, would eventually be beaten to death.

If that's the case, how far are their sons from cannibalism?

The two exchanged a glance, having already made up their minds.

We can't wait any longer; Jiang Xun's door next door will definitely be broken down.

Whether he opened the door voluntarily or was forced to do so,

They were determined to get their hands on the supplies in Jiang Xun's home.
