Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

On the dining table, there were many different kinds of fast food.

Chen Tuo had already prepared all the edible food in the house.

There's still half a 6L bottle of purified water left.

Seven packs of instant noodles in various flavors, two bags of whole wheat bread, a box of sugar-free chocolate, and a tub of cookies.

In addition, there were twelve eggs in the refrigerator, enough tomatoes, spinach and cabbage to make a plate of each, two pounds of frozen pork, three boxes of steak and half a chicken.

This is all the edible things in Chen Tuo's house.

There was a box of instant noodles and three buckets of water outside the door, but there were zombie riders lingering outside, so they couldn't be brought in right now.

Looking at the not-so-small amount of food, Chen Tuo showed no satisfaction; on the contrary, he felt it was far from enough.

These fast food items were purchased a few months ago when there were no competitions. During the preparation period leading up to the competition, the nutritionist will strictly control Chen Tuo's meals to ensure that he has a balanced diet and avoid failing drug tests.

Therefore, apart from the food provided by the nutritionist, Chen Tuo does not consume anything from any other source.

If I had known this would happen, I would have stocked up on more...

If we don't count the food outside the door, given Chen Tuo's appetite, he could easily eat for a week if he was frugal.

But he knew that, apart from the fast food, all the food in the refrigerator could spoil at any time.

With the zombie outbreak and the collapse of social order, water, electricity, gas, and the internet are still running, but without proper maintenance, they could stop functioning at any time.

Therefore, the food in the refrigerator must be consumed first, and there is no need to be frugal at all.

We collect as much tap water as possible and prepare it in advance.

Even Chen Tuo was considering what kind of firewood he could burn if the gas was cut off.

And in what location should a fire be lit to ensure good ventilation and prevent suffocation from smoke...?

Chen Tuo gathered all the containers in the house that could hold water: two buckets and three basins.

I washed out the large plastic beverage bottles that I hadn't thrown away before, filled them all with tap water, and then covered them with plastic wrap to prevent contamination.

The amount of tap water collected is not much, only about fifty liters, but this is the limit that the container can currently collect.

People of this level who frequently cook should have no problem wiping their bodies.

If the external situation is only temporary and can be brought under control quickly, that's sufficient.

Once the water supply is cut off, even taking a shower becomes a luxury.

Without delay, Chen Tuo started a fire to stew the half chicken in the refrigerator, and at the same time, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out, he wiped himself with a towel while continuing to scroll through short videos to keep up with the outside world.

The videos are still the same as before; it's as if the platform's censorship has disappeared, and all the videos are about zombies in various places.

The comment section was filled with pleas for help and cries for help...

But at that moment, Chen Tuo's hands froze, and his eyes, which were looking at the video, trembled for the first time.

This video is still taken from a candid perspective.

However, the main characters were changed from ordinary people to soldiers.

At the entrance to the military camp, the once solemn gate was now covered in blood, and countless zombies roamed around, all wearing military uniforms...

The video occasionally features intense gunfire, but more often it is filled with the screams of zombies and the wails of humans.

Until the human voices and gunshots grew weaker and weaker, and the roars of the zombies completely drowned out everything.

By the end of the video, the footage was shaky and unrecognizable. The person filming was a girl, and she was crying uncontrollably. As her companion pulled her away, she was on the verge of a breakdown...

Chen Tuo was stunned.

He realized he had been overlooking something all along.

Zombies might not be able to withstand firearms, but what if the person wielding the firearms turned into a zombie from the very beginning?

No one knows how the zombie crisis broke out.

No one knows why some people become zombies while others remain human.

But what is certain is that the chance of becoming a zombie is frighteningly high, at least 100:1, or even higher.

This conclusion was drawn by Chen Tuo through analysis of tens of thousands of comments in the comment section.

With such a high mutation rate, the denser the population, the easier it is for the infection to worsen, and even for the entire population to be overwhelmed.

Schools, shopping malls, companies, bars, amusement parks, and even... military camps!

Even with exceptional combat skills, it's difficult to withstand the zombies that were once your most familiar comrades when you're completely unprepared.

Even if someone manages to escape to the armory, can such a small number of people really deal with such a huge horde of zombies?

The scene in the military camp shown in the video is likely playing out all over the world.

With the army already captured, the hope of ordinary people being rescued is even more of a pipe dream...

Chen Tuo's eyes were vacant, and his face was expressionless.

I just stared at the video that had been playing on repeat for who knows how long.

A sentence came to mind.

All things are bitter; only self-salvation can save you.

All beings are busy, only self-salvation is possible.

"I want to live..."

Chen Tuo quickly analyzed the pros and cons. The external situation was still unstable, so staying in the community was the safest option.

In that case, supplies are the most important thing right now.

Ten days' worth of food was far from enough; things from outside had to be brought in, even...

Search the other rooms as much as possible and find any usable supplies.

After finding his target, Chen Tuo didn't waste any time. He quickly got up and began looking for usable weapons.

As the saying goes, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen a pig run, right?

Even though it was his first time encountering a zombie crisis, Chen Tuo still watched zombie movies and read post-apocalyptic novels regularly.

While I can't say that the various methods and survival skills for dealing with zombies in the story are truly realistic, at least they can serve as a reference, preventing us from being completely clueless.

Because he spends most of his time training and competing abroad, Chen Tuo doesn't spend much time at home, so he has very few belongings.

In the end, the only useful tools they found were a kitchen knife and a Western-style butcher knife.

There was a blunt weapon, a metal baseball bat.

The most powerful weapon here is definitely a kitchen knife, but it's not suitable for dealing with zombies.

Zombies have no sense of pain and won't back down when slashed. If the blade isn't sharp enough and gets stuck in a bone crevice, at close range, the zombie won't give you a second chance to strike.

Although the ox-knife is not powerful enough for slashing, its long and narrow blade can be used for stabbing. As long as a long stick is found and tied to it, it can be made into a simple spear.

It is absolutely the most powerful weapon against zombies.

A blunt weapon like a metal baseball bat can be more effective than a sharp weapon in some ways if the force is sufficient.

As for armor, we had to use whatever was available.

Chen Tuo pulled a leather jacket out of the closet.

If we're talking about the toughest clothes, leather jackets are undoubtedly the best choice, offering maximum protection against zombie bites.

The pants were thick, durable jeans, and the shoes were high-top Doc Martens that could withstand the impact of nails.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Chen Tuo used transparent tape to wrap a thick enough magazine around his arms and legs to prevent him from being bitten during the fight.

Including his waist, abdomen, and back, Chen Tuo also stuck thick books inside his leather jacket according to the location.

Once you put on the clothes, aside from feeling slightly bulky and stuffy, it hardly affects your flexibility, and your sense of security is maximized.

In addition to these, Chen Tuo also wore special open-finger gloves for MMA competitions, which not only exposed his fingertips but also fully protected his hands.

Even his fingertips, Chen Tuo used hand wrapping tape to wrap around his knuckles twice, making up for the last weakness.

Although wearing fingerless knuckle dusters and hand wraps may slightly affect the dexterity of the hand, it will absolutely not affect the most basic gripping ability.

Even in critical moments, Chen Tuo can still use his best close combat skills without worrying about his fingers being scratched by zombie teeth or bones.

At this moment, Chen Tuo had virtually no weaknesses, except for his unprotected head.

Even if you stand still and let the zombie bite you, it might not be able to bite through.

After checking twice, Chen Tuo put on the large-capacity backpack he used for training.

He took the makeshift spear he made from a clothesline pole and a Western-style cleaver, and then clipped the baseball bat to the buckle next to his backpack.

Standing in front of the security door, Chen Tuo even practiced switching between the two weapons.

If the spear slips from one's hand, a simple backhand grip is all it takes to pull the baseball bat off the backpack, smoothly and effortlessly transforming a sharp weapon into a blunt one.

"Hmm, perfect..."

After muttering something to himself, Chen Tuo looked through the peephole at the rider zombies still lingering outside and took a deep breath.

Click—the door opens…
