Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

With the help of the dim streetlights, the figures below looked very blurry.

If it weren't for the obvious difference in the other person's running style compared to a zombie, it would be impossible to tell whether they were human or zombie.

Fortunately, Chen Tuo has taken good care of his eyes over the years, and it's already close to six o'clock, with the sky beginning to lighten.

Even from the sixteenth floor, the view is clearer than at dawn.

Chen Tuo's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed intently on the movements below.

Judging from their figures, the four people are a man, a woman, an old man, and a child.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should be a family.

It's nothing short of a miracle that a family of four could remain unharmed and not mutate when the zombie infection rate was at least 100:1.

I'm afraid there are very few like them in the entire city of Jiaxing.

Of course, it's possible that they were originally a family of five, or even more.

But to have four people survive is already incredibly lucky...

The man was carrying a large bag and walking ahead to clear the way. Judging from the long, thin weapon in his hand, it was probably a watermelon knife.

A woman was carrying a two- or three-year-old child and following closely behind, pressing down on the child's head with one hand, as if she didn't want him to see the scene around him.

As for the elderly man, he shouldn't be too old, and he was still quite agile, carrying some items in his arms as he followed closely behind.

Judging from their route, it's clear they were heading towards the main gate of the residential area, intending to exit from there.

Chen Tuo frowned slightly; he didn't think this was a wise move.

As can be seen from the internet, the infection rate of this zombie outbreak is quite terrifying.

Of the more than five million people that Jiaxing was surveyed last year, it is estimated that less than fifty thousand survived.

And this number is decreasing as the zombies continue to bite people, increasing the number of new infected individuals.

The reason why the survivors did not turn into zombies was entirely due to unknown luck.

Most of them lack the ability to handle major events, let alone a zombie crisis.

Those who stay at home are alright; at least they have a safe haven.

But it's troublesome for people hiding in various public places and street corners.

Driven by hunger, exhaustion, and mental stress, they might flee haphazardly at any moment without any plan.

Once noticed by the surrounding zombies, it could trigger a chain reaction, causing a large number of zombies in the vicinity to go berserk from their aimless wandering state.

Escaping the community under such circumstances is tantamount to entrusting one's life to various uncertainties.

In addition, the zombie crisis has just broken out, and there are too many zombies roaming the streets. People do not know enough about the zombies.

Who knows if there are even more threatening zombies besides these ordinary zombies that don't walk very fast?

From any perspective, staying in the residential compound is safer than outside.

This is also why Chen Tuo chose to search for supplies; he doesn't plan to leave here anytime soon.

Even if you want to escape the neighborhood, you have to wait until the situation stabilizes a bit, understand the characteristics of the zombies, and plan your escape route and a safer destination before you can take action.

Of the four members of this family, only the man possesses fighting ability. If they encounter danger, things will be difficult...

Sure enough, just as Chen Tuo was putting himself in the other person's shoes and imagining their situation, a sudden change occurred.

Despite the family of four being extremely careful, sometimes crouching behind the greenery and sometimes speeding through the paths to avoid the zombies along the way, they still managed to attract the attention of the nearby zombies by making a commotion.

The sound of one zombie triggered a chain reaction, and all the zombies wandering below the building rushed toward the four people's location.

"Aaaaaah!"

The woman was screaming, accompanied by the faint sound of a child crying.

"Run!"

The man roared and pulled his family members behind him to run, while simultaneously wielding a watermelon knife and slashing at the oncoming zombies.

It must be said that when people realize they have people they need to protect, they often unleash unimaginable fighting power.

Even men are afraid. Chen Tuo could see his body trembling slightly, but he still managed to carve out a path to survival for his family with the watermelon knife in his hand.

Four or five zombies fell at his feet.

Unfortunately, the man's leg was grabbed tightly by a zombie that had fallen but was not dead, and its teeth were already biting down on it.

The zombies that bite humans are like maggots clinging to bones; no matter how much the man struggles, he cannot shake them off.

More zombies pounced on him, grabbing the man tightly.

A mournful scream echoed throughout the residential area.

"Run! Don't worry about me, you old hag, get out of here!"

Knowing he was beyond saving, the man frantically brandished the watermelon knife, yelling at his wife to let them escape.

The woman was crying out, and the old man was trembling.

Fortunately, the man's actions were effective.

Perhaps it was because he made the loudest noise that he attracted most of the zombies below, while only a small number of zombies were still heading towards the woman and the old man.

Finally, as the man's angry curses turned into his final pleas, the woman and the old man, along with the child, disappeared around the corner of the building.

Seeing his family leave safely, the man seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and his voice suddenly disappeared.

Only one pair of eyes remained fixed on the direction where her family had left.

The only exposed head was then covered by a zombie that pounced on it...

He fell, and the zombies enjoyed their delicious meal, blood oozing from beneath them...

Chen Tuo's face was gloomy.

The man did it; he risked his life to help his wife, children, and elders escape.

But can a woman who is unarmed, an old man who has no fighting ability, and a child who is only a teenager really survive outside?

Is it possible to escape the residential area and also escape the neighborhood?

Even if they manage to escape the block, will they be able to leave the city?

Chen Tuo didn't know, because he could no longer see.

The number of zombies on the streets outside the residential area is far greater than that inside.

As a human being, he hoped that the woman and the elderly could survive, but he knew even more clearly that the possibility was almost zero.

Chen Tuo did not recognize this man, nor did he know his name.

What a man does for his family may be great, but his decisions are wrong.

Perhaps he lives on a lower floor and cannot see the outside of the community like I can, so he thought that as long as he escaped the community, the number of zombies would be greatly reduced.

Little did they know, the situation outside was even worse; the number of zombies in just one corner outside the gate of the residential area was more than all the zombies below combined.

Chen Tuo silently learned a lesson from the man.

Zombies roam freely, and life is as cheap as grass. In this situation, he can only think of one word... apocalypse.

Chen Tuo drew the curtains and went to bed.

Others' tragedies don't cause him mental stress; they only strengthen his resolve to live.

Chen Tuo did not set an alarm on his phone.

Perhaps because I was too tired, both physically and mentally, I didn't wake up until 18:12 PM.

"I slept for almost twelve hours..."

Chen Tuo got out of bed and first opened the refrigerator to check the food.

The foods that need to be eaten as soon as possible are twelve eggs, tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, two pounds of pork, and three boxes of steak.

Of course, there was also about four or five kilograms of rice.

The half chicken was completely devoured in the morning.

Besides these foods, the only items that can be stored for a long time are seven packs of instant noodles, sugar-free chocolate, and a tub of cookies.

If you include the takeout you ordered yesterday, then there's still a box of 24 bags of instant noodles left.

There are a little over three 6L bottles of purified water left.

There's not much to worry about regarding water, since in addition to purified water, we also collected several dozen liters of tap water in basins and buckets.

There seemed to be a lot of food, but Chen Tuo was still not very satisfied.

"It's still not enough; we need to find a way to collect some more..."
