Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

After spending two days with the painted-face man, the once honest and simple-minded Lao Zhang had undergone a complete change in temperament.

From initially trying to fight with a kitchen knife to now actively arranging for women to be found for the painted-face man, it only took two days. His enthusiasm in this regard is unmatched even by the original two, the red-haired and green-haired men.

The reason for such a rapid change is not because his rate of depravity was astonishing.

Rather, it's just that he's always been like that.

Some people are born beasts, but before the end times, they are bound by laws, and the filth hidden in their hearts has nowhere to be released.

Old Zhang's so-called honesty and simplicity on the surface are nothing more than cowardice.

Now that order has collapsed and people have tasted a little sweetness, their already meager sense of morality has been completely extinguished, replaced by the most primal animalistic desires, wanting only to unleash the evil thoughts accumulated over the years.

This is his most authentic self...

"That woman isn't some virtuous and heroic woman; she wouldn't do something so dramatic. She's beautiful, that's true, but do you know how she got to this position?"

The painted-face man tentatively asked, "Sleep with...me?"

"That's right!" Old Zhang nodded vigorously. "There's a rumor that she's the mistress of one of our company's leaders. Otherwise, without education or experience, how could she have climbed to this position at such a young age?"

"You said it's just a rumor, how reliable can it be?" Green Hair was a little skeptical.

Old Zhang quickly said, "Hey, even if it weren't true, I'm a security guard standing at the entrance every day. I've seen her get into luxury cars more than once or twice. Every time, the man inside is different, and the skirts are incredibly short, the makeup is incredibly glamorous. There was even one time when the car door hadn't even closed yet, and the two of them were already making out inside. Tell me, would someone like that die for her innocence?"

After hearing this, Hua Lian smiled and said, "That's great! That makes things easier. Old Zhang, go knock on the door."

"Alright!" Old Zhang couldn't wait and dashed out, muttering to himself as he went, "She dresses up so fancy every day, I wonder who she's trying to seduce. I've wanted to mess with her ever since she used to order me around, and now I finally have the chance..."

Old Zhang arrived at the door and knocked loudly.

A moment later, a slightly timid voice came from inside, "Who...who is it?"

There is a play!

The group of people with painted faces, hiding in the corner, exchanged glances and their faces lit up with joy.

He's still alive!

Old Zhang was overjoyed to hear this, but he suppressed his excitement and adopted his old, honest, and slightly reserved tone, "Manager Fang, I, I'm Old Zhang."

"Old Zhang?" The female voice inside was clearly excited for a moment, then fell silent for a few seconds, as if she were pressing her face against the peephole to confirm.

"You...you're still alive?"

Old Zhang continued, "Yes, I'm still alive. I didn't expect Manager Fang to be alive too. That's great. I went to Old Li, Old Wang, and Old Zhou's houses, and they... they've all turned into zombies. It's so tragic."

The woman behind the door trembled, "Old Wang and the others... they've all turned into zombies?"

"Yes." Old Zhang tried his best to make his expression look dejected, and his voice carried a hint of sadness.

"By the way, Manager Fang, it's been six days since the zombie outbreak started, and we still have no water or electricity. Are you hungry? I have some food here. Why don't you open the door and I'll bring it in for you?"

The woman behind the door didn't open it immediately, but asked, "Old Zhang, I remember you live in the building across the street. There are zombies everywhere outside. How...how did you get here?"

Old Zhang's expression changed slightly.

This woman is damn cautious, but luckily, Brother Hua Lian had taught me these kinds of lines before, and they're coming in handy now.

"Yes, there were a lot of zombies outside, but I was lucky and ran into a group of survivors who saved me."

"They've not only stockpiled a lot of food, but they've also figured out a way to temporarily lure away the zombies, which is why I was able to walk from across the street into this building. Now they're planning to recruit all the survivors in the neighborhood to work together to find a way to survive. Manager Fang, why don't you join them? After all, there's strength in numbers, and the chances of survival are greater, right?"

"Is...is that so?" The voice from behind the door was weak and doubtful.

Seeing that the door hadn't opened yet, Hua Lian gave him a wink, and Old Zhang instantly understood.

"Manager Fang, is there something you're worried about?"

Old Zhang tried to sound as sincere as possible, "It's okay, they're very nice people. If you're still worried, I'll go back and ask them to greet you downstairs. You can get to know them before deciding whether to come out or not. I'm all alone now, you must be starving, right? How about I give you the food first, and then I'll hurry back and say hello to them?"

Another silence fell...

But this time, it didn't take long before the door slowly opened.

The moment the door opened a crack, the painted-face men dropped all pretense and darted out from the corner, filing in one after another with sinister grins.

"ah--"

"Who...who are you? Old Zhang, you're lying to me! Ahhh..."

The door slammed shut with a bang, and a woman screamed from inside, but silence quickly returned...

……

The sky gradually darkened.

Chen Tuo, Shu Yao, Jiang Xin, Zhang Shanhai, and Li Wenwu all gathered in the corridor on the sixteenth floor.

With the help of the open windows in the hallway for ventilation, the portable gas stove was bubbling away, cooking dinner.

"Wow! I didn't know I was so close to my idol, only a few floors apart. If I had known, I wouldn't have flown abroad to see him live. I would have just been running downstairs every day."

Jiang Xin sat next to Chen Tuo, and even after a day, the excitement in her eyes when she looked at Chen Tuo had not diminished in the slightest.

If it weren't for Shu Yao standing in the middle, Jiang Xin would probably have wanted to stick to Chen Tuo and not leave his side for a moment.

Chen Tuo chuckled, "If you keep running downstairs every day, then I should probably consider moving."

Jiang Xin immediately started to whine, "No, Brother Tuo..."

After spending a day together, everyone had a general understanding of her personality.

A seasoned anime and manga blogger with a large fan base, she presents a sweet and cute loli persona, but in reality, she is very outgoing and a bit cunning.

When dealing with people they don't care about, their words and actions can be described as rude, with an air of "I'll confront you if I'm unhappy."

Only when facing Chen Tuo did she speak even more harshly than in her online videos, her demeanor elegant and dignified, making one almost imagine that she came from the palace.

But Chen Tuo wasn't buying it, and he wasn't into lolis either.

But Jiang Xin remained undeterred, as if passively triggered, every time she saw Chen Tuo...

Zhang Shanhai stared at the steaming pot and couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, Brother Chen Tuo really knows how to come up with something like a portable gas stove. Since the water and electricity were cut off, I haven't had a hot meal for several days. I've only been eating instant noodles. At least I can have a change of pace."

Li Wenwu stared at the pot without saying a word, but his mouth was practically watering.

Beside the five people, besides the ingredients prepared for cooking, were the spoils they had collected throughout the day.

The five of them worked separately throughout the day, and their efficiency was indeed remarkable when they looked out for each other.

They not only cleaned the 25th, 24th, and 23rd floors, but also cleaned all the way down to the 10th floor.

After cleaning nearly ten floors, they killed no fewer than fifty zombies and collected a huge pile of fast food, chocolate, candy, packaged snacks, and many useful tools from each household.

If all goes well, the remaining ten floors will be completely cleared by tomorrow, leaving no zombies in Unit 2 of Building 8.

Everyone knew exactly how the supplies should be distributed.

Whoever searches the house and takes away the supplies keeps them all.

Although the five of them cleared a total of ten floors, Chen Tuo and his men cleared about seven of them, while Zhang Shanhai and Li Wenwu only cleared three floors. Therefore, at least two-thirds of the supplies piled on the ground belonged to Chen Tuo's side.

But just as Shu Yao was about to move the three people's share back into the house, Li Wenwu objected...
