Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Chen Tuo divided up the food that needed to be consumed today.

In the event of a power outage that could not be preserved, food that cannot be stored must be consumed first.

I'll eat three meals today.

The first meal consisted of two boxes of steak, tomatoes, two eggs, and half a pound of rice.

The second meal consisted of one pound of pork, cabbage, two eggs, and half a pound of rice.

The third meal consisted of a box of steak, spinach, two eggs, and half a pound of rice.

Chen Tuo is a mixed martial arts athlete who usually has a large appetite. Even though resources are scarce in the post-apocalyptic world, he will not cut back on food and clothing because of it.

In such environments, it is especially important to ensure the body receives the necessary energy.

Otherwise, if you become weak and lack the strength to keep up due to saving food, you will be bitten by zombies, and no matter how much food you save, it will be useless.

If we don't have enough food, we can always go find more.

You only have one life.

The body is the most important thing for survival in the apocalypse...

Chen Tuo wasn't in the mood to fry steak, so he stewed the tomatoes and steak together in one pot, then cooked half a rice cooker of rice before putting on his boxing gloves and starting his training.

I may not be able to compete anymore, but I can't neglect my training.

Aside from skill, combat athletes possess strength, reaction time, endurance, and agility far exceeding those of ordinary people.

It is thanks to the daily training that the body and brain are in a highly coordinated and constantly tense competitive state.

Many high-level fighters experience a significant drop in combat effectiveness within a few years of retirement because they neglect training, causing their physical condition to fall below the average level of competition.

Chen Tuo knew that he would never step into the octagon again, but that didn't mean he would be without opponents.

Their opponents have quietly transformed into zombies surviving in the struggle for survival.

It could even be someone else who survived, just like myself...

He absolutely would not allow himself to neglect training; his physical fitness had to be maintained at all times, and he could not slack off.

Two hours later.

Physical training, functional training, combat training, and ground training have been completed.

Chen Tuo opened the refrigerator, took out the frozen ice cubes, poured them into the bathtub, and enjoyed a comfortable ice water bath.

The effects of ice water baths were crucial for him.

After high-intensity training, muscles become congested and swollen, causing mild inflammation and a buildup of lactic acid. An ice bath can quickly relieve this and promote recovery much faster than normal.

It can also accelerate fatigue recovery, reduce the accumulation of metabolic waste, and allow the body to return to normal levels more quickly.

After soaking for a while, Chen Tuo brought the stewed beef and tomatoes to the table. After eating, he went to sit on the balcony.

He wasn't sitting on the balcony because he was bored.

Rather, it was to observe the zombies below to understand their movement speed and characteristics.

Although Chen Tuo knew from previous observations that zombies weren't fast, barely walking but not as fast as a normal person running, what if there were exceptions?

In addition, Chen Tuo wanted to know how the zombies detected the humans around them.

Eye?

sound?

odor?

Or something else...

The spot where the man fell during the day is now a blur.

Apart from a pile of shredded clothes and a ripped backpack, all that remained was a mass of mangled remains.

Two more zombies lay prostrate on the spot, licking a blackish-red liquid.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard for anyone to imagine that a living person would eventually be torn apart by zombies into such an indescribable mass.

Chen Tuo slowly shook his head and turned his gaze elsewhere.

From the sixteenth floor, you can see most of the area below. Since there are no buildings blocking the view, you can even see part of the street outside the community. As for anything further away, you can't see very clearly.

Chen Tuo observed for an hour.

Compared to before, there are almost no survivors trying to escape; there are no other survivors besides the wandering zombies.

With no humans around, the zombies' speed seemed to have slowed down considerably.

A small group of zombies had stopped wandering around aimlessly and instead stayed in one place, as if they were in hibernation, except for their slightly swaying bodies.

But with a bird call, or some other sound, they will raise their heads and slowly move toward the source of the sound.

"If you don't have a goal for too long, will you just stop moving?"

"They'll be attracted by sounds, but if it's not a human sound, they'll just walk slowly instead of showing the excitement they feel when they see humans..."

As darkness fell completely, Chen Tuo left the balcony.

He discovered two more characteristics of the zombies through observation, which was enough for him.

Nothing can be accomplished overnight; understanding zombies also requires a gradual approach.

I checked the time; it was exactly 10 p.m.

Having slept until 6 p.m., Chen Tuo is not sleepy at all.

Without a signal, you can't access the internet.

As for training, today's amount is enough; any more would be counterproductive.

In this case...

Chen Tuo looked towards the security door and remembered the sounds he heard from his neighbor's house across the hall when he killed the rider zombie.

Since we don't have many supplies at home and will have to collect them sooner or later, we might as well start by working on this floor first.

While gathering food, they can also eliminate all threats.

Also, the previous zombie rider was killed too easily; I still need to test some of the characteristics of zombies...

Chen Tuo began to make preparations.

He was still wearing the same leather jacket, jeans, and Doc Martens.

In addition to the shoes, there were also enough magazines stuck to the inside of the clothes and pants.

Put on fingerless gloves and wrap the exposed fingers with hand straps.

With a training bag on his back, a baseball bat across his shoulder, and a spear made of a butcher's knife and a clothesline pole in his hand.

A familiar sense of security welled up in my heart.

Open the door.

Chen Tuo, holding a spear, tentatively peeked out.

Only after confirming that the elevator had not coincidentally arrived at his floor and that the rope on the fire door had not been damaged did he feel completely relieved and walked out.

The blood that the rider zombie had splattered on the wall had dried.

It looks like unrefined crude oil, shiny black.

I poked it with a knife; the texture was sticky and soft, and it could even be stretched into strings.

Chen Tuo arrived at the door across the hall and knocked gently.

Shortly after, the sound of tables and chairs being clattered rang out, along with strange cries coming from outside the door, followed by the sound of zombies scratching at the door.

Hearing the zombies' cries, Chen Tuo found them extremely jarring.

The screams of zombies don't sound like those of a normal creature.

It was a sound squeezed out from deep in the throat, yet it carried a sharp quality.

If I had to describe it, it would be like scraping a spatula hard against an iron pot, but with an even more dull and heavy feel...

Chen Tuo looked at the door, then at the peephole.

He gripped the spear shaft with his backhand and struck it hard.

The peephole was knocked into the door, revealing a hole about the size of a coin.

Through the hole, you can clearly see the zombie's hideous face on the other side of the security door.

Perhaps it was the air circulation that allowed the zombies to smell Chen Tuo's scent.

The zombie, which had been scratching haphazardly behind the door, actually found the peephole with pinpoint accuracy, its wide-open mouth biting down hard on it, constantly closing and biting.

Chen Tuo could even see the zombie's throat through the peephole...
