Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

The zombie's head kept bobbing in front of the cat's eyes, its gray hair stained with a trace of blood.

Chen Tuo even stared into its eyes several times. No matter how many times he saw those blood-red eyes with their pupils shrunken to the extreme, he could always feel a kind of inhuman horror.

"Click, click-click—"

The sound of tearing at the peephole continued incessantly.

Looking at the zombies inside the hole, this location, this distance...

If you had a long enough weapon to stick into the peephole, and you could find the right moment to stab it through the pupil and destroy its brain, wouldn't you be able to kill the zombie through the door?

Chen Tuo's eyes lit up. It's feasible!

Even if the first strike fails and the blade hits the throat or face, given that zombies have no sense of pain and will not back down, there are still countless opportunities until the zombie is completely killed.

With the security door in the way, there is absolutely no risk in killing them.

The only downside is that the cat's eye is too small; ordinary knives simply can't fit inside. We'll have to find a more suitable weapon.

Opening the door is also a big problem.

Without a key, the only way to get in is to kick the door down.

Even wire won't work.

Firstly, with the advancement of security door technology, the technique of prying doors with wire has become ineffective for most households.

Secondly... Chen Tuo wouldn't know either.

However, starting with the peephole is a good option.

Chen Tuo vaguely remembered seeing a short video before, in which the locksmith would tear off the peephole, insert a bent iron rod, and press it gently to open the door.

The principle is just like a person opening a door normally; it's very simple and easy to understand.

The premise is that the door is not locked from the inside.

However, most people don't have the habit of locking the door from the inside these days.

If it's really locked up, it still has to be kicked down.

Although Chen Tuo didn't have such professional tools, it didn't stop him from making one according to his own understanding, as long as he found suitable materials.

This will make it much easier to search for supplies and open doors in the future.

It can also prevent the sound of kicking the door from being too loud and disturbing the zombies on the floor.

As for now...

Just kick it.

After confirming that there was only one zombie behind the door, Chen Tuo took two steps back, lowered his body slightly, stepped forward, and delivered a side kick!

boom!

The security door made a loud noise, the wall plaster fell off, the door lock was visibly deformed, and even the zombies pressed against the door were shaken back a few steps.

But in just two seconds, it pounced again, and the familiar tearing sound rang out once more.

Chen Tuo stepped back and delivered another side kick.

boom!

The door lock could no longer withstand the pressure and sprang inwards.

The immense impact sent the zombie flying, sliding several meters across the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Wow!"

Zombies have no sense of pain; even with blood streaming down their faces, they still struggle to get up and bite people.

Chen Tuo wouldn't give it that chance. He rushed into the room in two strides, stomped on its chest, and pressed it back to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the tip of the spear pierced through his mouth, instantly pinning him to the floor.

Black blood seeped from its nasal cavity, silencing the zombie's roar.

Before the zombie could make any further moves, Chen Tuo gripped the spear tightly with one hand, took the baseball bat with the other, and delivered two powerful blows to the knee.

Click!

The zombie's two legs were raised at a negative angle.

Immediately afterwards, two more blows were aimed at the arm, and the sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard...

After removing the spear, the zombie was no longer able to stand, and even its hands were swinging around its sides like rags.

Aside from its constantly twisting body and its mouth trying to bite, it could only lie on the ground wriggling like a maggot.

Chen Tuo did this not to torture the zombies; he had no habit of abusing them, even if they were no longer human.

The reason for this was, of course, to use this zombie to conduct some experiments in order to understand the characteristics of zombies.

All that was done was to restrict its actions.

Seeing the zombies rage helplessly on the ground, Chen Tuo threw down the spear, which was detrimental to the indoor environment, and walked towards the inner room with a baseball bat in hand.

He wanted to eliminate all threats inside the house.

After quickly searching the balcony, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms to confirm there were no other threats, Chen Tuo returned to the living room.

The zombie on the ground, its limbs broken and unable to move, continued to writhe, spitting out black blood and making a ferocious biting face.

Chen Tuo looked at him calmly, seemingly lost in thought.

The zombie was an elderly man with gray hair, but still quite healthy.

Chen Tuo didn't have much contact with him.

After all, I train and compete abroad most of the year and rarely come back. We only see each other a few times, even though we live right next to each other.

But we met once in an elevator and chatted for a while.

The conversation revealed that the elderly man was a teacher in his younger years, had divorced his wife, and had children working in other cities, so he lived alone for many years.

The old man was very talkative and always had a kind smile on his face.

His hair was combed perfectly, and his shirt was ironed without a single wrinkle.

It's clear that he pays close attention to his image.

In contrast, his clothes were now disheveled, his greasy hair mixed with black blood was spread across his face, and his kind face had long been replaced by a bloodthirsty ferocity. His body was also stained with filth that was hard to tell whether it was blood or excrement...

This old man must be very disappointed to see himself like this now.

Chen Tuo recalled that the old man had once told him that if young people needed any help, they could go to his neighbor's house anytime and not be shy, because neighbors should help each other.

Although I never went to look for him across the hall, just as the old man said.

Neighbors should help each other...

"I've come to send you on your journey to the afterlife."

"But before that, help me confirm a few things so I can better deal with zombies and survive..."

Chen Tuo bowed slowly.

When she looked up again, the sadness in her eyes had completely faded, replaced by calm.

He slowly drew the spear, aimed the tip at his heart, and plunged it in...

……

The living room was left with only a pool of blood.

Chen Tuo had already put away his weapons and started ransacking the room.

Opening the locked cabinet in the wardrobe, you'll find the elderly person's ID card, family photo, bankbook, and jewelry.

Through the ID card he found, he learned that the old man's name was Zhang Songping, and through the old man, he learned a lot about the characteristics of zombies.

The idea that the heart is a weakness for most creatures doesn't apply to zombies.

All the internal organs seemed to be just for show, not affecting the zombie's vitality at all.

Zombies possess visual abilities; their eyes can follow a person's movements.

His hearing is also terrifying; he can detect even the slightest sound.

Of course, in addition to sight and hearing, the sense of smell has not been lost either.

However, the scent can only be detected at close range, within about three meters. Once you get further away, it will gradually become calm.

If there is blood, the distance will increase significantly. As for how far, Chen Tuo doesn't know, because it can detect the smell of blood throughout the entire room.

However, as long as the wound is covered, it won't have much of an impact.

Most importantly, the head is indeed the only weak point of a zombie; simply inserting a sharp weapon into it will result in instant death.

The old man's transformation into a corpse weighed heavily on Chen Tuo's heart.

What weighed heavily on him even more was everything he had just done.

To be honest, if I didn't know the elderly person, I probably wouldn't feel much psychological pressure.

But it was precisely this familiarity, even if only slightly, that made Chen Tuo feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although the old man is no longer alive, but has become a zombie, he is just another creature wearing the skin of an old man.

But there is no way.

You need to understand the characteristics of zombies and survive.

It's unknown whether the other two rooms on the same floor are occupied; the old man is currently the only zombie we can come into contact with.

The more you know about zombies, the more confident you will be in dealing with them in the future, and the better your chances of survival will be.

I am not the protagonist of a movie, nor do I have the cheat-like abilities found in novels.

To survive in this zombie-infested apocalypse, one must carefully explore step by step, relying on absolute caution to deal with these dangerous monsters.

Chen Tuo silently mourned the old man who had become a zombie, but he would not give up any opportunity to learn about zombies and increase his chances of survival.

Helping him find relief was the last thing I, as his neighbor, could do for this kind and talkative old man.

Meanwhile, behind a floor, a figure lay prone on the ground, listening to the sounds coming from downstairs...
