Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Chen Tuo went inside and picked up something from the shoe cabinet.

A helmet.

A full-face helmet specifically designed for motorcycles.

"nice one!"

The moment Chen Tuo saw it, he knew he had come to the right place.

Wearing it on my head, it was fine except for being a little stuffy.

I took a picture of the goggles; my entire head was protected from all angles, with only a small gap left around my neck.

After taking it off again, Chen Tuo had a smile on his face.

In this way, the only weakness was completely made up, and there were almost no flaws in the whole body.

Of course, wearing a helmet also has disadvantages: it obstructs vision and reduces hearing by up to 90%.

Furthermore, in a hot and crowded environment, once you enter combat, your breathing rhythm will be quickly disrupted, leading to a doubling of your stamina.

In open areas where it's necessary to observe the surrounding environment, the benefits of a helmet far outweigh the drawbacks.

However, in narrow environments like hallways and stairwells where zombies can easily hide and where ambushes are always possible, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

The helmet will be a great help when searching the other floors; it's arguably the most useful find so far after searching the first three rooms.

Although finding the helmet made Chen Tuo happy, he did not let his guard down. He put the helmet down again, picked up the baseball bat, and began the familiar search process.

The kitchen, bathroom, balcony, and second bedroom were all empty.

When they arrived at the master bedroom, there was a figure lying inside.

The bedding on the bed was mostly stained red with blood, and a muscular man was lying quietly on it.

However, his neck and half of his head had been gnawed beyond recognition, with most of them disappearing.

His ashen face was wide-eyed, as if he had witnessed some great horror before his death...

"A lucky one who didn't turn into a zombie?" Chen Tuo murmured, looking at the male corpse.

Unfortunately, he was devoured alive by the zombie that had turned into him while he was asleep.

Since most of its head had been eaten away, it didn't even qualify to be infected and become a zombie.

Chen Tuo couldn't help but feel sorry for this lucky yet unfortunate fellow, and felt quite sympathetic towards him.

But while we sympathize, we still need to deliver the necessary blows.

After confirming that there was nothing of value in the room, Chen Tuo still tapped the male corpse's head a few times before leaving, just in case that losing half a head might delay the corpse's transformation in this special situation.

Only after confirming that 1604 was no longer a threat did Chen Tuo begin to loot.

It's clear that only the female zombie and the male zombie, a couple, live here.

Besides the master bedroom for sleeping, the other two secondary bedrooms were converted into a walk-in closet for girls and a gaming room for boys.

There wasn't much of value in the walk-in closet; it mostly contained women's clothing, a few men's clothes, and some designer bags and gold jewelry.

These things might have had some value before the apocalypse, but now, Chen Tuo doesn't need them.

However, a motorcycle outfit caught Chen Tuo's attention.

The leather material and full coverage from neck to ankle provide almost complete protection for the body, making it far safer than wearing a leather jacket and jeans.

Unfortunately, the motorcycle suit was too small, and Chen Tuo's size simply couldn't fit into it.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a female zombie.

Judging from the full-face helmet she wore earlier, it seems the female zombie was a motorcycle enthusiast in her previous life.

As for the boys, most of them didn't have this kind of interest, and Chen Tuo couldn't find a second set of motorcycle clothes and helmet...

Chen Tuo then began searching for other places.

The couple in room 1604 don't seem to know how to cook. Although the various seasonings in the kitchen have been opened, they have hardly been used.

The refrigerator was also filled with various desserts, beer, drinks, chocolates, and some cosmetics such as perfumes.

A small amount of fast food was also stored in the coffee table cabinet.

However, I found quite a few bottles and jars of protein powder and various fitness supplements.

Chen Tuo found a plastic bag and picked out the things he needed.

Fast food, chocolate, and desserts are the three most valuable categories.

The former is a guarantee for future survival, while the latter two can replenish energy and physical strength.

Drinks were also included; after all, they're water, so they can be used to quench thirst if the family runs out of water.

As for beer...

Chen Tuo gave up.

Cigarettes are okay to smoke, but it's best to avoid alcohol, as it can affect your performance.

In the apocalypse, keeping a clear head is more important than anything else.

Before leaving, after a moment's thought, Chen Tuo decided to take the two bottles of perfume with him.

They didn't take the rest.

Although the gains weren't many, Chen Tuo was still quite satisfied.

Things that can be stored at room temperature for a long time are more valuable than a pile of meat, vegetables, and noodles.

Of course, the biggest gain is this full-face helmet that can protect the entire head.

Chen Tuo couldn't fit into the motorcycle suit, but he could fit into the helmet.

After returning home with his belongings, Chen Tuo rushed to the bathroom to take a shower.

After all, after a hand-to-hand fight with the female zombie, he was covered in her blood, which was disgusting to look at.

The 16th floor was now completely cleaned, and all dangers had been eliminated. After washing up, Chen Tuo lay on the sofa, finally able to relax his tense nerves...

……

The darkness slowly receded, and sunlight streamed in.

"It's dawn..."

Standing in front of the sandbags, Chen Tuo, covered in sweat, gazed at the dawn sky, lost in thought.

Having only woken up at 6 p.m. yesterday, Chen Tuo wasn't very sleepy until this morning.

Now that this floor has been thoroughly checked, he plans to stay home today and get his slightly disordered routine back on track.

Time slowly passed...

After finishing a pot of stewed cabbage and pork, Chen Tuo sat by the window, observing the activities of the zombies below.

There are more and more zombies downstairs.

I don't know if they wandered over from other parts of the community, or if more survivors were infected and joined the group without my noticing.

It was already afternoon, and Chen Tuo was feeling sleepy, but in order to stay awake until night, he forced himself to stay awake and looked out the window.

Over the course of several hours, he observed a great deal, not only about the zombies, but also about the survivors.

For example, the residents of Unit 2, Building 6 directly opposite, who lived on the seventh floor, did not turn into zombies.

Three hours earlier, the male homeowner had opened the window to check the outside situation, but he quickly retreated back inside after only a few minutes.

Even without drawing the curtains, Chen Tuo could still see him sitting by the window, scratching his head from time to time, seemingly troubled by his current situation.

For example, in Unit 1 of Building 9, which is opposite to the side, a drone flew out from the 12th floor, but crashed shortly afterward.

It's unclear whether this was due to improper user operation or a lack of power.

In short, Chen Tuo never saw the appearance of the survivors on the twelfth floor from beginning to end.

But what concerned Chen Tuo the most was that three male figures appeared downstairs in Unit 1 of Building 6 half an hour earlier.

The leader was very tall, with a buzz cut, wearing a black T-shirt, and tattoos covering his face.

His robust physique was clearly visible even from sixteen stories away.

The two who came after were rather mediocre.

He had brightly colored hair and a physique that was considered slim even among ordinary men.

The three men were clearly prepared, carrying backpacks, machetes, iron bars, and even protecting their arms with wooden boards or similar materials.

However, unlike the survivors who appeared downstairs before, they did not come downstairs to escape the community. Instead, the moment they stepped out of the unit door, they rushed straight into Unit 2 of Building 6 next door.

Upon seeing this, Chen Tuo sat up straight.

What were those three people doing running into the building next door?

Chen Tuo was not inclined to believe that they were there to rescue people.

While judging a book by its cover is impolite, judging from their attire, these three certainly don't seem like good people...
