Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Chapter 50: This is professionalism!

Inside room 504.

Pfft!

The axe was pulled out, and the last zombie fell into the black blood.

This layer has also been thoroughly cleaned.

"Brother Tuo, should we still take Lao Zhang?" Jiang Xin couldn't help but ask after delivering the final blow with her spear.

She has now joined Chen Tuo's team, and she insisted on following Chen Tuo from the very day they met.

Chen Tuo also repeated the three rules he had told Shu Yao, and Jiang Xin had no objections whatsoever.

The three of them are now bound together.

Chen Tuo didn't stop what he was doing, and casually replied, "It's up to him."

To be honest, he had a good impression of Zhang Shanhai.

Honest, warm-hearted, loyal, and without malice, he will step up without hesitation when faced with a problem.

She has a strong sense of justice in her personality, but she's not quite at the level of a saint. She won't hesitate to take drastic measures when necessary.

Such a person would definitely be a close friend in the pre-apocalyptic world.

Even after the apocalypse, he will still be a trustworthy companion, someone you can rely on.

But...

He's really a bit stubborn.

It's true that Li Wenwu saved his mother, but does he have to risk his life to repay the debt?

From Zhang Shanhai's perspective, this kindness might be as heavy as Mount Tai.

From Li Wenwu's perspective, it was just making a phone call...

Sometimes, even acts of kindness vary in magnitude.

Leaving aside what Zhang Shanhai himself said about the bits and pieces of repayment he received before the apocalypse.

In Chen Tuo's view, the care he received these past few days, which was like "a father serving his son," was already enough.

If Li Wenwu were reasonable, that would be one thing, but he's just a beast.

It would be best if Zhang Shanhai could kick Li Wenwu, this burden, out of the way.

If you still want to keep someone by your side, then you'll have no choice but to part ways.

In the apocalypse, it is true that you need enough companions to build a team to survive together.

But miscellaneous fish won't do.

Chen Tuo doesn't expect all his teammates to be able to handle things, but at least no one should be a burden.

Otherwise, it's not only irresponsible to yourself, but also to everyone in the team...

Just then, footsteps came from the hallway.

Looking up, I was surprised to see Zhang Shanhai carrying steel bars.

Seeing that only one of the two, who were usually inseparable, remained, Chen Tuo guessed what was going on. "Didn't you bring your little brother?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shanhai gave a wry smile. "Brother Chen Tuo, please stop mocking me. A life for a life, Li Wenwu and I are already even."

Chen Tuo's lips curled up. "Looks like your stubbornness isn't incurable yet."

Zhang Shanhai didn't respond to that, but instead, with a serious expression, he knelt down on the ground with a "thud".

The action came so suddenly that none of the three people inside the room had time to react.

"Brother Chen Tuo, you saved my life. From now on, I will obey your every command without question. If I disobey, may I be struck down by heaven and earth!"

Chen Tuo was stunned for several seconds before grabbing Zhang Shanhai by the collar and lifting him up.

"You fucking scared me! Stop making things so awkward, okay?"

"Exactly!" Jiang Xin also felt a tickle all over her body. "This kind of plot only happens in TV dramas. Who would do something like that in real life? It gives me goosebumps!"

Shu Yao was still stunned. She hadn't expected Zhang Shanhai to pull this stunt; it was quite unexpected.

In contrast, Zhang Shanhai's expression remained as serious as ever, showing no sign of joking.

Chen Tuo felt helpless.

He now completely understood why Zhang Shanhai was so loyal to Li Wenwu.

A heroic personality!

Going back a few hundred years, most of these people would have joined the Liangshan bandits.

"Are you also planning to leave the neighborhood?"

Zhang Shanhai nodded.

In fact, this idea had already formed in his mind when Chen Tuo asked where there was a place to stay around Jiaxing.

He wholeheartedly agreed with Chen Tuo's ideas.

Although the conditions on the mountain are not as good as in the community, they are safer and more self-sufficient.

In the long run, it is definitely more suitable for living than in the city.

"Brother Chen Tuo, is there anything else I can ask you for?"

"speak."

"Before I leave, I want to give Li Wenwu one last helping hand..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Tuo's brows furrowed.

Zhang Shanhai was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.

"Li Wenwu is different from me. He doesn't want to risk leaving the community and just wants to stay here. He begged me for a long time. Even though we're even now, we've known each other for so many years, and he helped me a lot when my elderly mother passed away..."

"For this reason, I really can't bear to watch him starve to death in this building."

"Besides, he said he was willing to work and exchange his labor for things, and he would never do nothing like before, only asking us to leave him some things before we left."

Chen Tuo stared at Zhang Shanhai for a long time before nodding slightly.

"Old Zhang, you need to try to change your soft-hearted nature in the future, otherwise you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."

Zhang Shanhai breathed a sigh of relief, but a complex feeling also arose in his heart.

"I know, I know. Helping you this one last time is more than enough. This will sever all ties, and we'll go our separate ways from now on..."

"Let's go to the fourth floor. We have to clean the whole building thoroughly today."

The group of people, carrying backpacks, walked downstairs.

"The stench in this neighborhood is getting more and more noticeable."

Chen Tuo smelled the strange odor in the air and felt a bit uncomfortable in his nasal cavity.

Over the past few days, the ground downstairs has accumulated a considerable number of zombie corpses.

Some were thrown out of the window while cleaning the room, while others were thrown from different floors after hearing noises outside.

Although zombies are fundamentally different from humans, they still rot.

Even though the speed seems very slow and the smell is not as strong as the stench of a normal living being's corpse, these kinds of problems still exist.

It's fine when you're on a high floor; the smell isn't very noticeable.

But once you get to the lower floors, the stench comes in waves, constantly wafting into your nose.

If you smell it for too long, it will make you feel nauseous.

I definitely can't stay in this neighborhood for long.

Putting aside the possibility of germs spreading from these piled-up zombie corpses, the stench alone would be unbearable for most people...

Come downstairs.

Li Wenwu was knocking on doors one by one, judging the number of zombies behind the doors by the sounds he made.

Seeing Chen Tuo and the others come downstairs, he quickly stood aside, his bruised and swollen face showing as much of a fawning smile as possible.

But Chen Tuo completely ignored him.

He knew that this was just a show put on in front of him.

If they truly had that intention, the previous incident would never have happened.

Shu Yao ignored him.

Jiang Xin didn't give him a kind look at all. If it weren't for Zhang Shanhai's sake, she would have kicked him a couple more times.

Only Zhang Shanhai had a complicated expression as he passed by.

That look seemed to say, "This is the last time I'm going to use my connections to help you; from now on, this is the last time..."

Li Wenwu, however, did not care at all and immediately ran forward to report on the situation he had investigated.

"Brother Tuo, Brother Tuo, there are two zombies behind the door of 402, one in 403, and no sound in 404, but I can't guarantee anything about the bedroom..."

Chen Tuo still treated him like he was invisible.

He had absolutely no desire to speak to this kind of person.

As for how many zombies were behind the door, his method was more reliable than his.

Shu Yao knocked out the peephole with a shovel and glanced inside.

"Two."

While counting aloud, he picked up a screwdriver and spear and stabbed it inside.

Less than two minutes later, the door opened.

On the ground lay two zombie corpses whose heads had been smashed open.

Shu Yao remained vigilant, gripping her weapon as she walked into the house to check for any potential threats lurking in the corners.

Jiang Xin was also familiar with this process and followed it closely.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Tuo didn't need to move even a single finger.

Two girls alone were able to handle it with ease.
