Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Shu Yao remembered Chen Tuo saying that when opening a door indoors, if it's uncertain whether there are zombies inside, you should kick it if possible, and never use your hands.

Not to mention there happened to be a zombie inside.

Bedroom doors are usually not hard to kick open; even with the strength of a girl like Shu Yao, she could kick them open with just a little effort.

One kick.

The door slammed open, and at the same time, a middle-aged female zombie in pajamas rushed out.

Staring at the zombie's blood-red eyes, ashen skin, and twisted, ferocious face, Shu Yao's mind went blank, and she instinctively raised her entrenching tool and slammed it down.

However, before the decapitation blade could land on the zombie, it was abruptly blocked in mid-air by the wall of the passageway.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, the zombie pounced on Shu Yao, pinning her down and frantically biting her with its mouth covered in foul-smelling saliva.

The sudden scene terrified Shu Yao to the extreme.

Looking at the zombie's face so close through the helmet visor, I was enveloped in immense fear.

He instinctively tried to push the zombie away with his hands, but he couldn't muster any strength and remained pinned to the ground...

boom!

Chen Tuo made his move.

The zombie staggered after being hit by the baseball bat, its entire body shifting away from Shu Yao's face.

Immediately afterwards, an axe swung precisely toward his head.

As the familiar dark red liquid flowed out, the zombie stopped thrashing and collapsed to the ground, lifeless...

Shu Yao was still completely dazed when Chen Tuo pulled her up.

Looking at Shu Yao, who was almost paralyzed with fear, Chen Tuo's disappointment was self-evident.

The two stared at each other for an unknown amount of time.

Shu Yao finally came to her senses and lowered her head in remorse.

"I messed up again, I'm sorry..."

Chen Tuo spoke calmly, "Now you have two choices. I can kick you out, and perhaps my path ahead will be smoother. The second is that you continue like this, and the next time you apologize, you might be facing the corpse of the person you killed."

Which one do you think I should choose?

Shu Yao was stunned, her eyes reddened, and tears began to well up.

"Stop it!"

When Chen Tuo shouted, Shu Yao was so frightened that she dared not cry anymore.

After a long time...

"Do you know your problem?"

Shu Yao nodded.

Chen Tuo coldly said, "If it weren't for the protection of this helmet, leather jacket, and gloves, you would have been bitten by zombies at least ten times and would definitely have been infected and turned into a zombie. Even so, given enough time, the leather jacket won't be able to withstand the tearing, and you will die sooner or later!"

Shu Yao was filled with shame and slowly lowered her head.

Then, Chen Tuo held up three fingers.

"First, you didn't observe the terrain. The passageway around the bedroom door is not conducive to the use of long weapons. You should either rush in and attack directly, or maintain your distance and retreat before attacking, instead of standing still like an idiot."

"Secondly, use your weapon wisely. The entrenching tool I chose for you has many uses, but it's essentially a medium-to-long-range weapon. So, the best way to use it is to keep your distance from the zombies and swing it. If you get too close, you should immediately use the entrenching tool to thrust forward and push them away, then find the right moment to smash their heads with a single shovel!"

"Third, you're too terrified of zombies. The moment a zombie appears, you forget all your trained techniques, causing you to act solely on instinct!"

"Compared to zombies, humanity's only advantage is intelligence. If even that is completely lost, then what's the difference between you and a zombie who only knows how to act on instinct?"

"Zombies aren't afraid of pain and can infect people. What about you?"

Shu Yao kept her head down, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Chen Tuo spoke again, "Perhaps your reaction is the kind of reaction most normal people would have. I'll give you time to gradually adapt, but I don't have that much time to waste with you. One day is the limit of what I can give you!"

"We just heard some noise from 1804. That was your last chance. Now, while I'm searching, keep your eyes on this zombie. Even if you have to vomit, vomit in her face until you can ignore her and feel no fear at all!"

"Yes!" Shu Yao looked aggrieved and quickly turned around, staring straight at the zombie on the ground whose head had exploded.

Despite the churning sensation in her stomach again, she did not look away for a moment and strictly followed Chen Tuo's orders.

Chen Tuo began searching the room for useful supplies...

Ten minutes later.

Chen Tuo found a self-heating hot pot, two boxes of self-heating rice, and a bag of loose small bread.

Apart from the twenty-odd eggs, the rest of the food in the refrigerator remained untouched.

The medicines they found included a box of erythromycin ointment, a bottle of mosquito bite solution, and two boxes of fever reducers.

As for tools, there are almost none available.

In addition to the two power banks, they were also packed up.

Back in the living room, Shu Yao sat in front of the dead zombie, staring intently at it, motionless.

"Are you still afraid?" Chen Tuo asked.

Shu Yao didn't look up, but replied softly, "It's still a little..."

"Watch for another ten minutes."

Ten minutes later...

Are you still afraid?

"I don't seem so scared anymore."

"Watch it for another ten minutes, then take the axe out and clean it thoroughly."

ten minutes later……

Chen Tuo took the clean axe back from Shu Yao.

It must be said that although this method is somewhat cruel, it is still very effective.

At least Shu Yao no longer has the urge to vomit. Although she still feels nauseous and horrified, her physical reaction has almost disappeared.

When he looked at the zombies on the ground, the panic and fear in his eyes were gone.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Tuo asked.

Shu Yao thought about it carefully, "Although it's disgusting, it doesn't seem as scary as I imagined. After watching it for a while, I got used to it."

"Congratulations, you're almost a qualified survivor, not a newbie. Remember, zombies aren't scary, death is."

"I've got it." Shu Yao nodded emphatically.

"Now, the test begins..."

In front of room 1804, Shu Yao smashed the peephole, looked at the zombie behind the door, took a deep breath, and then raised the screwdriver in her hand.

In less than ten seconds, she exerted force with both hands and thrust it in forcefully.

Although it wasn't successful on the first try, the previous tension and trembling were gone.

The second attack brought the zombie down.

Shu Yao deftly took out the iron bar and quickly opened the door.

This time, without Chen Tuo's prompting, she raised her entrenching tool and smashed it down on the zombie's head with all her might.

In an instant, the zombie's head caved in, and it was dead beyond any doubt.

Although her face was still a little pale, Shu Yao no longer had the timid look she had before.

The moment she killed the zombie, she picked up her weapon and began searching the house.

He maintained absolute vigilance with every step, always holding the entrenching tool in front of his chest to defend against any openings in his defenses, while also being ready to strike at any moment...

Chen Tuo followed behind, quietly watching this scene. He glanced at the dead zombies on the ground and couldn't help but smile with relief.

"I didn't even get a clear look at the zombie's face before it was smashed to pieces. It's growing pretty fast..."
