Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Blood splattered from the doorway.

Shu Yao's attack pierced directly through the zombie's eyeball.

But the roaring from behind the door did not stop.

"Not enough force, try again!" Chen Tuo pressed on the door, his voice stern.

Shu Yao could only raise the screwdriver again, and the zombie, which felt no pain, quickly pounced on the door once more.

The injury did not deter it; instead, it became even more ferocious, its teeth constantly gnawing at the security door, making a piercing sound.

With another stab, blood spurted out once more.

This time the force was enough, but the angle was still not right.

"Again!"

Chen Tuo showed no mercy to the women. As the zombies rose again and again, he made Shu Yao attack them each time.

Even though it was the first time Shu Yao killed a zombie, her body trembled, her face was pale, and she could barely hold the spear, she still showed no pity.

After repeated attempts, the zombie's face was almost riddled with holes, and finally, it never got up again.

Shu Yao bent down, panting heavily.

It wasn't from being tired, but from the fact that it was my first time fighting zombies, and my adrenaline was pumping.

Chen Tuo simply patted her back to help her relax, but offered no other assistance.

"Once we've rested enough, we'll prepare to pry open the door."

If she says she won't take action, then she definitely won't. From breaking into the door to killing the zombies, the whole process has to be done by Shu Yao herself.

Only in this way can she grow up at the fastest speed.

Shu Yao nodded, feeling her body recover slightly, and picked up the iron bar to start prying open the door.

Soon, the door opened.

The zombie lay behind the door, its face covered in blood and grime, making it almost impossible to discern its features. Only its hair could be vaguely identified as belonging to a middle-aged man.

It wasn't dead; it just lay on the ground convulsing, its teeth clenching and making a clattering sound, but it couldn't stand up.

Upon seeing the zombie for the first time, Shu Yao felt nauseous and instinctively covered her mouth. She then quickly ran outside and vomited in a corner.

Chen Tuo did not stop him from doing so.

Although he was strict with Shu Yao, it was to help her grow up quickly, and he could understand normal physiological reactions like vomiting.

Just keep throwing up until you get used to it completely.

Soon, Shu Yao returned.

Although her complexion was still not good, it was noticeably better than before.

Chen Tuo pulled her over and pointed to the zombie still convulsing on the ground:

"This is what I told you about: when a zombie's brain isn't completely destroyed, it's highly likely that it will lose control of its body but won't die immediately."

"Although it can no longer stand up and chase people, it doesn't mean it can't bite. If you mistakenly think it's dead and happen to step on its head, it could very well turn around and bite your foot."

"Therefore, you must develop the good habit of finishing off the zombie. If you're not sure that the zombie's brain is completely destroyed, you must deliver a final blow to ensure that it is completely no longer a threat!"

Shu Yao listened attentively, nodding repeatedly while also feeling surprised and puzzled.

How did Chen Tuo learn this knowledge?

Could it be... that he personally tested this out?

Thinking of this, Shu Yao felt a chill run down her spine. Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, she couldn't help but admire him even more.

"So, now it's your turn to finish the job!"

Chen Tuo looked at Shu Yao with a calm gaze.

Shu Yao was not surprised; she had already prepared herself mentally and slowly picked up the entrenching tool.

But being mentally prepared doesn't mean you can actually do it.

Before I could even take a picture, seeing the zombie's bloody, mangled face and its snarling, bared teeth made me feel nauseous.

She ran outside again to vomit...

Chen Tuo wasn't in a hurry and just watched from the side.

After all, everything is difficult at the beginning.

It's normal to be a little slow the first time; once you get started, it'll be easier afterwards...

After vomiting three times, Shu Yao finally recovered a little. She raised her entrenching tool, closed her eyes, and slapped it downwards.

Chen Tuo's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Who told you to close your eyes? In battle, life and death hang in the balance; victory or defeat often hinges on a single thought. Open your eyes if you don't want to die!"

"And are you killing zombies or torturing them?"

"Chop it on the head, not slap it on the face!"

Upon being shouted at by Chen Tuo, Shu Yao immediately opened her eyes. Despite feeling scared and wronged, she mustered her strength and slammed the entrenching tool down vertically.

Snapped!

The zombie was jolted by the impact.

"Not enough force, try harder!"

Shu Yao gritted her teeth once again, swung her entrenching tool, and smashed it down.

The zombies fell completely silent.

Half of the silver entrenching tool was embedded in the zombie's head, and red and white splattered on the ground.

Shu Yao tried to suppress the discomfort in her stomach, but in the end she couldn't hold it in and ran out to squat in the corner and vomit violently.

Even though there was nothing left in her stomach to vomit, and she could only vomit some bile, the intense physiological reaction was something she couldn't suppress.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she returned, feeling completely exhausted.

"Well done. Although it was a bit slow, you've at least taken the first step and accomplished the feat of killing zombies through a door."

Chen Tuo was lavish in his praise.

Sometimes you should scold when you need to, and praise when you need to.

Otherwise, excessive severity and suppression will only increase mental stress and backfire.

Shu Yao gave a bitter smile.

She was happy that she had succeeded, but the physical reaction had not completely subsided, and her overall condition was extremely poor.

"Take a break."

Chen Tuo took a bottle of water out of his bag and handed it to him.

Shu Yao quickly replied, "I can manage. Searching shouldn't be a problem."

Chen Tuo laughed. "Who told you we were going to search for things next?"

"No...is that so?" Shu Yao was taken aback.

Chen Tuo looked into the inner room, where subtle noises could be heard from time to time.

While Shu Yao was vomiting by leaning against the wall, Chen Tuo wasn't idle; instead, he checked the house for any other zombies.

Inside the room, there happened to be a zombie locked up.

This also falls under Shu Yao's purview.

Shu Yao, realizing what was happening, turned even paler. "There's no peephole on the door, what am I supposed to do...?"

However, before she could finish speaking, Chen Tuo interrupted her.

"Do you expect every zombie you encounter in the future to be protected by a security door, so you can kill them using only the peephole?"

Shu Yao's lips parted slightly, speechless, her helpless expression making her look extremely pitiful.

Chen Tuo simply ignored it.

Despite having full protection such as a leather jacket, helmet, and gloves, as well as an entrenching tool as a weapon, and having received special training downstairs and been informed of the zombies' weaknesses, she still couldn't kill a zombie independently.

That means she's not suited to survive in the apocalypse.

What I need are partners who can shoulder the pressure, not pretty but useless people.

If Shu Yao really wants to live, then no matter how scared she is, she should do it, she must do it!

This is the path she must take...

After a long time...

Shu Yao stood up and walked towards the door under Chen Tuo's gaze.

Perhaps sensing the approaching human presence, the zombies behind the door became even more excited, their roars and pounding sounds growing louder...
