Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Two male figures emerged from the door and walked downstairs.

The man walking in front was at least 1.8 meters tall. His short-sleeved shirt was stretched taut by his muscles, and he had strong features and skin with a healthy tan from years of sun exposure.

Although it is a bit rough, it has a kind of tenacity.

His bare hands were wrapped in thick clothing for protection, and he held a steel bar in his hand. The sharp end of the bar was covered with dried blood, indicating that it had already been used to draw blood.

The one following behind was only 1.7 meters tall and rather thin. He was also wearing thick protective clothing, but he was obviously wrapped up much more, making him look bulky. People would subconsciously wonder if it would affect his movement.

He was also holding a weapon in his hand, a cleaver commonly found at pig slaughterhouses.

However, the slightly timid expression on her face contrasted sharply with that of the man leading the group.

"Hai... Brother Hai, we've searched three floors in the last two days, and we've found enough to eat for a while. Why don't we stop for now?"

The man called Hai Ge turned his head and said, "Wenwu, you need to know that sitting around and eating away at our savings will only lead to death. We're trapped on the rooftop, and the only way out is to clear out the zombies below and scavenge for anything edible. Otherwise, we won't survive for many days on the food we find in just a few rooms."

"But Brother Hai..."

The thin man tried to say something, but was interrupted.

"Are you worried about the zombies? Don't worry, I'll hold them off in front. You just need to follow my commands and finish them off. You've seen them these past few days. Although these zombies look scary, they move slowly and aren't too difficult to kill. If you coordinate well, the chance of getting bitten is very small."

Having said all that, the thin man couldn't say anything more and could only give a wry smile, "I'll do whatever Brother Hai says."

Hai Ge smiled and said as he opened the fire door, "Besides, we're not just going down here to find food, but also to see if there are any other survivors. If there are, we can bring them into our group. In this post-apocalyptic world, there's strength in numbers, and the road ahead will be easier..."

……

It's in Unit 2 of Building 8, on the 24th floor.

bang bang bang-

In front of room 2402, a fat young man with messy hair stood cautiously, holding two bowls of instant noodles and some snacks in his hands.

After a long while, a soft, sweet voice came from behind the door.

"You...you can just leave it at the door."

The chubby young man was not surprised at all upon hearing this and did as he was told, as if he had done this many times before.

But before leaving, his tone carried a hint of confusion.

"Xinxin, why don't you open the door? I'm not a bad person. With the zombie outbreak, we might be the only two survivors left in this building. In this situation, we should help each other out. You don't need to be so wary of me, do you?"

Soon, another sound came from behind the door.

"I wasn't on guard against you. I've just been in a bad mood these past few days. Give me a few days to cool off; maybe I'll feel better then."

"Okay, fine..."

Upon hearing this, the chubby young man scratched his head, revealed a simple and honest smile, and turned back to the other side.

Behind the door...

Jiang Xin tiptoed and looked through the peephole to see that the other party's door was completely closed. Then she quickly opened the door a crack, scooped in the instant noodles and snacks, and then closed and locked the door in one smooth motion.

"call……"

Looking at the perfectly sealed food in her hand, Jiang Xin's expression was somewhat complicated.

She was very grateful for the food the overweight young man had brought her.

If it weren't for his daily help these past few days, given my habit of only ordering takeout and not cooking, I probably would have starved to death long ago.

Jiang Xin knew about the situation outside the city; she learned through her mobile phone that the entire city of Jiaxing, and even the whole country, had fallen.

Zombies are everywhere, and survivors are few and far between.

Normally, one should open the door and try to survive together with the other survivor, but...

The moment the other person called out her name, Jiang Xin's heart tightened, and she instinctively told herself that she must not open the door.

Jiang Xin is a live streamer who specializes in anime and manga.

I usually either go to anime conventions to cosplay characters or stay at home to livestream.

With her adorable loli-like figure and incredibly realistic makeup, she quickly gained a large following and became quite well-known in the cosplay community.

Of course, apart from her necessary work, Jiang Xin's biggest hobbies are watching TV series and reading novels.

Unlike most girls, she doesn't like stories about domineering CEOs falling in love with women; instead, she prefers apocalyptic themes.

Sometimes it takes all night to read it...

Until the day the apocalypse came, she thought she was hallucinating from staying up all night reading novels.

She was stunned when she finally realized that the apocalypse had arrived...

There's no food at home!

Just as she was filled with despair, there was a knock on the door. A neighbor who claimed to be a fan asked if she was still alive. If she was, he said he had a lot of food at home and could share some with her.

At that moment, Jiang Xin was genuinely excited.

But just as she was about to open the door, she remembered something...

Meeting fans is perfectly normal.

But it's very abnormal to encounter fans in this situation now.

She has never told anyone where she lives, so how did this person know her name?

How did they happen to live across the street and become my neighbors?

Looking through the peephole, Jiang Xin saw that typical otaku image and, recalling the cases in the cosplay community where fans followed their idols into their homes and committed crimes, withdrew her hand from the doorknob.

She always felt that the other person's appearance was too coincidental, and the coincidence seemed somewhat deliberate.

It was as if it had been planned all along, that they had figured out my identity and address, and then moved in across the street specifically to spy on me.

For the next few days, Jiang Xin would wait until the other party left the food at the door and then quickly bring it in.

Looking at the food in her hand, its packaging intact, Jiang Xin felt a pang of guilt.

"Someone kindly gave me food, and I'm being so wary? Am I being overly cautious? Maybe... it really is just a coincidence?"

……

"Being overly cautious is never a flaw!"

"In the apocalypse, there are no coincidences; you must have a mindset of questioning everything!"

"See, if we hadn't been careful just now, we almost fell for it..."

In room 2104 on the 21st floor, Chen Tuo stood in the center of the living room, looking on with emotion.

Shu Yao, standing next to her, looked terrified, her back still damp with cold sweat.

On the floor, a half-grown zombie had stopped breathing.

In addition, two zombies that appeared to be a couple at the entrance have already been dealt with.

Just now, after the two entered the house, they dealt with two zombies one after the other. Then, as usual, they checked the area to make sure there were no threats in any place before starting to search for supplies.

Just as Shu Yao was about to sit down on the sofa to rest after the search was over, a faint noise came from under the sofa.

Shu Yao looked down under the sofa, but there was nothing there.

At first, I thought it was just my imagination.

Until Chen Tuo realized something was wrong and looked behind the sofa...

It's fine if you don't look, but once you do, you'll swing an axe down.

A zombie that looked about three or four years old had somehow squeezed into the gap between the sofa and the wall. Its head was squeezed so that it could barely make a sound, but its body was still wriggling little by little, trying to squeeze out.

When Chen Tuo found it, it was only a hand's width away from Shu Yao's head.

If she ignored him for even a minute longer, given his speed, he would definitely be able to stick his head out and bite her unsuspecting neck.

Looking at the small corpse on the ground, Shu Yao felt completely numb.

"How...how did it get in the sofa cushions?"
