Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

"Brother Tuo, there's only one zombie in 1804. We've confirmed there are no other threats."

Shu Yao came out of the room.

Chen Tuo smiled slightly, "Well done, let's start searching."

"clear!"

Shu Yao is the type of person who doesn't talk much; she does whatever Chen Tuo tells her to do.

Soon, the two began to thoroughly search the room in shifts.

Room 1804, like the previous rooms, is just like an ordinary home, with plenty of food and common tools, but not much fast food or high-calorie snacks.

In the end, only a pack of instant noodles, two large bottles of milk, and a chicken from the freezer were put into the backpack.

The chicken was taken away entirely because Chen Tuo personally liked to eat it.

However, it's worth mentioning that food resources were not the biggest gain; tools were.

The homeowner is an outdoor enthusiast, and the two found quite a few outdoor tools in his home.

For example, hiking backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, portable stoves, binoculars, and some clothing and other outdoor gear.

But the homeowner is clearly not a seasoned gourmet; he's either a newcomer or only occasionally goes camping and has no intention of spending long periods outdoors.

Chen Tuo couldn't find the essential tools for outdoor enthusiasts: a first-aid kit, a high-frequency whistle, trekking poles, a water purifier, and a headlamp.

"What a pity, all of these missing parts could have been used."

Chen Tuo was somewhat disappointed, but then he thought that one shouldn't be too greedy, and that this was already a considerable gain.

The mountaineering backpack has a large capacity, at least 50L, which is much larger than a training backpack and also larger than Shuyao's outdoor backpack, which can only hold 30L.

The key is the sturdy and durable material, making it superior in quality to training backpacks.

The numerous pockets and buckles on the top allow for the attachment of even more weapons and equipment.

In the apocalypse, carrying it on your back is definitely the best choice.

Chen Tuo immediately put on this backpack.

As for portable gas stoves and binoculars, they are even more useful.

In situations where there is a water or power outage, a portable gas stove can boil water and cook food using only a gas canister. It is also small enough to be very convenient to carry.

In addition, the thirteen gas canisters found in the homeowner's house, at a rate that one canister would run out in two days, could easily support nearly a month's worth of consumption.

Telescopes can help with observation.

Whether in a residential building or in an open outdoor environment, you can detect anomalies earlier and keep track of zombie movements.

As for the tent and sleeping bag, they were taken out directly.

These two things are too big to carry, and if we were to go outside, we couldn't possibly camp in an open area unless we wanted to be eaten by zombies.

"After searching so many houses, we've finally found a useful tool."

Chen Tuo smiled.

Shu Yao didn't quite understand, but she smiled when she saw Chen Tuo smile.

"Look, this is fate's reward for the brave, and it is fate's reward for you. As long as you strive to survive, things will always get better."

Shu Yao nodded heavily upon hearing this.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was not as bright as before.

Chen Tuo did not continue searching upwards, deciding to stop there.

Today's main objective is to familiarize Shu Yao with the training process and to teach her how to search for resources and kill zombies.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time to go back and rest.

Of course, he will continue to give Shu Yao special training to help her improve her strength and stamina...

……

10:23pm.

The aroma of chicken soup still lingered in the air.

Shu Yao finished her three-hour training session; her training clothes were so wet they could be wrung out.

Chen Tuo came out of the bathroom. "The ice water bath is ready. Go in and soak for a while, wash yourself, and then you can go to sleep."

"Thank you, Brother Tuo," Shu Yao said in a soft and gentle voice.

Chen Tuo smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I'm going to sleep now. Get some rest."

After saying that, Chen Tuo returned to his room.

Shu Yao turned off the living room light, went into the bathroom, slowly took off her clothes, sat in the bathtub, and let the ice cubes floating on the water envelop her body until they covered her entire head.

When they surfaced, their faces were covered in water, their eyes were red, and hot tears streamed down their cheeks.

she cried.

He hugged his knees, buried his face in them, and desperately tried to keep his voice down, not daring to make a sound.

The day's events put Shu Yao under immense pressure, but she dared not show it in the slightest.

Now that it's late at night and all is quiet, my emotions are welling up inside me, and finally, they've completely overwhelmed me.

She never imagined the apocalypse would break out, nor did she expect to fight zombies.

He just wanted to work hard to earn money so that his grandmother could come to the city to enjoy a better life. Why did things suddenly turn out this way?

She was terrified during the day, and even after she swiftly killed the zombies, she was still terrified.

But she was even more afraid of what Chen Tuo would say...

If we don't change and grow, the next time we say sorry, we might be facing his corpse.

As Shu Yao stared at the zombie, this sentence kept swirling in her mind.

She thought about it for a long time.

A very, very long time...

Chen Tuo is right; if things don't change, death is the only outcome.

So Shu Yao forcibly suppressed her inner fear and forced herself to face the zombies.

Finally, she did it.

"I guess I'd consider myself a decent companion?"

She asked herself the question softly, but no one answered...

……

As dawn breaks, sunlight streams into Platinum International.

Chen Tuo's biological clock, which he had developed over the years, was not disrupted by his previous late nights. At seven o'clock in the morning, he got up on time.

As soon as I opened the door, I smelled the aroma of meat in the air.

With a question in mind, Chen Tuo walked into the living room and immediately saw Shu Yao busy in the kitchen.

"Up so early?"

Shu Yao turned around when she heard the sound.

She was wearing a loose-fitting long-sleeved shirt, tight jeans, an apron around her waist, and her long hair was tied up at the back of her head.

She's lost some of her sexiness but gained more gentleness.

"Yes, I was thinking that I would be checking more floors today and time would be tight, so I got up early to prepare breakfast and could also squeeze in some training."

Chen Tuo raised an eyebrow. "Working so hard? Not bad."

"Hehe." Shu Yao rarely showed a playful smile.

Chen Tuo stared at it for a long time.

Shu Yao unconsciously became a little nervous. "I...Is there something on my face?"

"No," Chen Tuo shook his head, "It's just that your eyes look a little more swollen than yesterday."

"Huh?" Shu Yao became even more nervous.

Chen Tuo didn't think much of it, assuming she hadn't slept well. As he walked towards the bathroom, he said, "Even if time is tight, you still need to get proper rest. The more stressful the situation, the less you should deprive yourself of sleep and food..."

Shu Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to his retreating figure, "Okay!"

At the dinner table...

Breakfast doesn't need to be too lavish; just make sure it's nutritious.

Two cups of warm milk, four eggs, and two homemade sandwiches filled with vegetables and fried meat.

Despite its simplicity, the temperature and flavor were just right.

Clearly, Shu Yao wasn't lying when she said that cooking was one of her strengths.

As he ate the delicious food, Chen Tuo looked on with emotion.

"In the days before I met you, I was eating haphazardly."

Shu Yao smiled, her eyes shining.

After finishing his meal, Chen Tuo began to discuss his plans for the day.

"After resting for half an hour, I'll start exercising, and two hours later I'll take an ice bath and set off on time."

"The reason we only checked the 18th floor yesterday was because we spent half a day familiarizing you with the training process and having you practice killing zombies, which took up a lot of time. So we have to speed things up today."

"Today's goal is to check at least three floors!"
