Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Zhang Shanhai's face was swollen on one side, his chin was covered in blood, and he had bruises all over his body, but this did not affect his skills at all.

Perhaps their bones are naturally strong enough to withstand a beating, or perhaps they have a solid physique from years of rock climbing.

Despite looking quite pitiful, he was still full of energy when he got into action, and he showed no mercy when killing zombies.

This is precisely why Chen Tuo valued him; his personality is one aspect, and his abilities are another...

The two charged ahead and took down nearly ten zombies in succession.

During this process, Chen Tuosun also took the short axe from Old Zhang's corpse back into his hands.

Drawn by the surrounding zombies, they began to swarm towards this area.

Fortunately, the four of them had already rushed to the entrance of Unit 2, opened the glass door, and squeezed inside.

Before crawling inside, Chen Tuo looked at the rooftop across the street one last time.

The zombie reappeared, and it was looking at itself.

The two, one human and one corpse, stared at each other, but this time, the corpse did not pull its head back.

Chen Tuo didn't have time to linger; the zombies outside had already surrounded him.

He rushed in, fastened the latch, slipped into the fire escape, secured the chain, and quickly headed upstairs...

We arrived at the sixteenth floor.

boom!

Jiang Xin and Shu Yao placed the items heavily on the table.

"Brother Tuo, we've struck it rich this time! I've taken a quick look at the loot, and there are thirty-four packs of instant noodles alone, plus all sorts of bread and snacks. That's more than we could find if we searched four or five floors. The most important thing is that there are even some rare dried seafood in there..."

Chen Tuo ignored Jiang Xin's voice and walked straight to the window, looking at the rooftop across the street.

The zombies have disappeared again.

Chen Tuo frowned slightly.

have they gone?

Or have they completely hidden themselves?

This zombie is too bizarre; we still don't understand what kind of mutant it is.

But it's best not to have wisdom, even just a little bit, because that would be a terrible thing.

Judging from its repeated attempts to peek out and then deliberately hide back in, the truth is probably the worst possible one.

God knows how long this zombie had been in the neighborhood, or when it started observing me.

Now that it has discovered that it has noticed it, will it do something else...?

"Pack your things right away, we're leaving today."

The group was taken aback.

Jiang Xin asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Tuo nodded. "That's right. Let's leave as soon as possible before noon. We've almost used up our water reserves anyway. Even if we don't leave today, we won't be able to stay for the next day or the day after."

"Well... Brother Tuo, can I take a shower before I leave?" Jiang Xin asked hesitantly.

Although it's not to the point where I can't take a shower these days, I'm conserving water, so I just wipe myself down before going to bed at night. Plus, the weather is a bit warm, and I'm doing physical labor every day, so I always feel sticky.

With only two basins of water left in the bathroom, Jiang Xin really wanted to take a shower.

"Brother Chen Tuo, I... I want to too..."

Zhang Shanhai awkwardly raised his hand.

He wasn't being pretentious.

When it comes to bathing, he's the one who needs it the most.

Putting aside the fact that his face was covered in blood, just lying on the bathroom floor stained with urine all night must have made him smell awful.

Not to mention that Jiang Xin and Shu Yao had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him all the way, even he himself was getting fed up.

Shu Yao originally wanted to say that she didn't need to wash, but Chen Tuo looked out the window and then at the remaining water in the bathroom. He thought that once they went out, let alone take a shower, even washing his face would probably be a luxury.

"Ladies first, Lao Zhang and I will go last. Each of you has a maximum of five minutes, the faster the better. Also, you two only need to shower, don't wash your hair."

"clear!"

Jiang Xin jumped up excitedly and grabbed Shu Yao, rushing into the bathroom.

Chen Tuo wasn't idle either; he called Zhang Shanhai to help him pack up the supplies they were taking with them...

Thanks to the packing I did the day before, I had packed almost everything I needed to bring.

There were three large suitcases, two snakeskin bags, and four hiking backpacks in the living room, all packed full.

Including the spoils obtained from Hua Lian, there are about two more suitcases full of supplies.

Besides the two pots needed for cooking, a few sets of bowls and chopsticks, and some seasonings such as salt, MSG, and vegetable oil, almost everything else here consists of various fast foods, bread, chocolate, sugar, drinking water, and other foods.

There were also some medicines, basic mobile phones, and changes of clothes...

We've already reduced the amount of stuff we have; otherwise, the total gains from the entire building would be far more than this.

Among instant foods, snail rice noodles and self-heating hot pot are simply discarded because the outer packaging is too large and they take too long to cook.

I only kept the bagged instant noodles; the cup noodles were almost finished in the last two days, and the rest were all put aside.

After all, the space required for a cup of instant noodles is enough to fit two and a half packs of instant noodles. Apart from having a larger portion and an extra bowl, there are no other advantages.

As for snacks, puffed foods and spicy strips should be thrown away if possible; only the rest are eligible to be taken away.

It wasn't that Chen Tuo was craving snacks, but rather that snacks like chocolate, candy, and bread were both filling and quick energy replenishments, making them absolute commodities.

We only keep bottled mineral water; we've almost finished all the other drinks and milk in the last few days, and the rest we just have to throw away.

Besides that, there were some dried noodles, potatoes, canned goods, a small amount of rice, dried vegetables, and dried seafood.

Scattered among the items were essential items such as medicine, soap, toothpaste, perfume, and basic mobile phones for the elderly.

There are also strict requirements for changing clothes; each person can have a maximum of two sets.

Originally, Chen Tuo didn't want to bring any seasonings other than salt, including oil. But then he thought, he couldn't just eat instant noodles or boiled food every day, could he?

Moreover, oil has other uses besides cooking, so I still put two bottles in.

As for the rest, they are just some small miscellaneous items, which don't take up much space.

Even so, a huge amount was still stuffed in...

Jiang Xin and Shu Yao were quick; they came out of the bathroom in just over three minutes, without even having time to wipe the water droplets off their faces.

There was a basin full of water in the bathroom.

Chen Tuo went in first.

Washing takes only one minute.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shanhai crawled inside...

He moved quickly, and came out in just over a minute.

The blood on his face had disappeared, but several small wounds and bruises were still clearly visible.

During this time, Chen Tuo, Shu Yao, and Jiang Xin had already put on protective gear and picked up their weapons.

Zhang Shanhai quickly found a few magazines, intending to pad the bottom of his clothes with more material.

The group was making final preparations, checking for any omissions or deficiencies as much as possible.

After all, this time it wasn't about killing zombies in the apartment building, but about actually stepping out of the neighborhood.

Instead of facing a situation where one room leads to another like opening a blind box, they are now facing hordes of zombies in open areas, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands. If they are not careful, they will be reduced to ashes.

No one was calm, including Chen Tuo...

Boom!!!

A loud bang rang out, and the four of them were all startled.

The sound was far away, yet very loud.

The four looked at each other, and Jiang Xin tentatively spoke.

"The ground floor?"

Chen Tuo quickly walked to the window and looked down; his face instantly darkened.

Countless zombies were surging toward the entrance of Unit 2 from all directions. Their numbers were so great that almost the entire ground in the neighborhood was moving.

More zombies are emerging from unseen corners of the buildings, rushing frantically downstairs.

Without a doubt, this situation could only mean that the apartment building has been breached.

Chen Tuo looked at the scene below, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

How could a perfectly good apartment building be breached?

Coincidence? Or an accident...?
